Chapter 271 The Dwarf King Enchanted by Gold

At dawn, the fleeing residents of Long Lake Town struggled to reach the shore.

There were wailing sounds everywhere. The battle last night made the already poor residents even worse off, and even their families were destroyed.

After the dragon came last night, the whole town turned into a sea of ​​fire. Those who had boats fled by boat, and those who didn't had to swim in the cold lake water all night before they supported each other to get ashore.

"It's shocking!" Aaron exclaimed, and then looked at Bard's family, "What are your plans next?"

Bard forced a smile, "I can't leave them behind."

Aaron nodded slightly, "I believe you will develop again with these refugees.

But before that, you have to get through this hurdle first.

You can find Thorin for wealth, but I'm afraid you have to find a way to get food and shelter yourself."

"Aaron, Kili, we should go." Bofur shouted, and he and Bifur pushed a wooden boat into the river, ready to set off for Erebor.

Aaron patted Bard on the shoulder, and then handed a black arrow to Barn, "I have to go, this thing is for you, it can be a family heirloom."

Kili walked to the shore, but suddenly stopped, turned back and walked to Tariel, "Come with me!

I know my heart, I am not afraid, I can't live without you.

Tariel, I love you."

The affectionate confession caught Tariel, an elf who has lived for hundreds of years, off guard. She did have a certain liking for Qili, but there was still a gap between love and love.

"I don't know what you are talking about?"

"I think you know." Qili smiled.

Just as Tariel was about to say something, she noticed a pair of eyes staring at her from behind, "Prince Legolas."

"Leave the dwarf! You have your own mission."

Tariel was silent for a moment and slowly turned around.

Qili glared at Legolas angrily.

He finally set the atmosphere here, why did you come to spoil the mood?

But he did not stop Tariel. Elves have their own missions, and dwarves have their own goals.

But after walking a few steps, Kili turned back and gave Tariel the black stone his mother had given him as a token of trust.

......

It was not until the afternoon that they arrived in Erebor.

Bilbo took the four people in at the city gate, and then asked anxiously, "Where is Gandalf?"

"Haha!" Aaron chuckled, "I said it wasn't Gandalf who fought the dragon, why don't you believe it!"

"That's troublesome." Bilbo said tiredly, "Thorin has changed, remember what Smaug said? You really shouldn't give him the Arkenstone."

"What do you mean?" Qili asked puzzledly, "The Arkenstone originally belonged to the dwarves, and Thorin is the son of Thorne, the most orthodox heir, why can't it be given to him?"

"Because that thing is too evil." Bilbo pointed to the entrance of the hall helplessly, "He stayed down there all day without eating or drinking."

Aaron frowned slightly, "Let's go and take a look first!"

Entering the hall, the golden color came into view, and the three dwarves who had just arrived were shocked by the huge wealth.

"Gold, countless gold, no more sorrow and pain." Thorin murmured as he walked down from the throne inlaid with the Arkenstone. He looked at the few people with a hint of madness in his eyes, "Look, Thor's huge treasure.

Welcome my nephew, friends, and people to Erebor."

"You see." Bilbo spread his hands helplessly, "I feel that there is only gold left in his world."

Aaron's eyes twitched slightly. Thorin is indeed a little bit wrong now.

"Give him some time, he will recover."

"Is this something that can be solved with time?" Bilbo said speechlessly, "We have to find a way to get him out of here, otherwise I'm really worried that he will become arrogant like Smaug said."

Aaron sighed and turned to look at Thorin, "The duty of the dwarf king is to rebuild Erebor, not to admire these so-called wealth here."

"Give me some time, Gaius.

I have waited for this day for decades, and it's time to taste the fruits of victory."

Aaron pursed his lips and left the hall in silence.

Bilbo led a few people to the room where others rested. The two groups of dwarves cheered excitedly when they saw that their companions were alive and well.

"We have to find Gandalf. Only he can guide Thorin back to the right path." Bilbo pulled Aaron aside and said in a low voice, "And Smaug also said that the necromancer will send troops to attack the lonely mountain. Our situation is not safe."

"More than that." Aaron said thoughtfully, "Smaug is dead, and the news will spread soon. A huge treasure is attractive to everyone. This dwarf kingdom is more dangerous than ever before."

"What should we do?"

"Find me a room first."

"Ah?" Bilbo blinked and looked at Aaron in a daze, "What did you say?"

"I've fought a day and traveled a day." Aaron rolled his eyes, "I need to rest, otherwise I'll die suddenly. Don't let anyone disturb me."

"But what about Thorin?"

"Don't worry about it for now." Aaron waved his hand, "You know how stubborn he is. No one can persuade him until he calms down.

As for the enemy, don't worry too much. Even attacking Erebor will take some time."

Bilbo nodded, not quite understanding, and then asked Balin to arrange a quiet room for Aaron.

"Clean it up."

Aaron locked the door and used a cleaning spell to clean the room that had been covered with dust for decades.

"System, sign in."

"Host signs in at the Dwarf Kingdom and gets 5 magic points."

"Open the personal panel."

"Okay."

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic power: 8564 (Intermediate Mage, the end of most wizards' lives)]

[Talent: Once in a Century (Magic power increases by 3 points every day)]

[Items: Moon Drop (can remove any negative spell), Resurrection Potion (can revive any creature that dies within an hour), Magic Carpet, Dragon Slayer Crystal]

[Magic points: 1010]

Looking at the value in the last line, Aaron was inexplicably moved.

After more than half a year, the magic points finally reached four digits. It's really not easy!

Taking a deep breath, Aaron suppressed his excitement and received the task reward for killing Smaug. The magic points instantly doubled.

"I haven't been so rich for a long time." Aaron grinned, feeling happy from the bottom of his heart. This period of struggle has not been in vain.

"System, open the mall, it's time to spend."

"Okay, host."

The system's voice sounded in Aaron's mind, and then three categories, a total of fifteen commodity columns appeared in front of him.

[Magic: x-on:Transfiguration (1000 magic points, including Animagus); x-on:Flying (100 magic points, flying speed depends on personal strength); x-on:Illusion Projection (700 magic points, create an illusion of yourself, can be projected over long distances); x-on:Charm (500 magic points, literal meaning, but ineffective for people with strong will); x-on:Soul Out of Body (300 magic points)]

[Material: x-on:Phoenix Feather (30 magic points); x-on:Dragon Blood (20 magic points); x-on:Mandrake (5 magic points);

x-on:Bezoar (1 magic point); x-on:Rhino Horn (3 magic points)]

[Items: Blank; Blank; x-on:Wizard Chess (1 magic point); x-on:Emerald of Jilani (50 magic points, the person who gets the gem will be doomed); Blank]

He had been craving Transfiguration for a long time, especially after the battle last night, he had a great desire for Animagus, and decisively spent a thousand magic points to get it.

As a lot of knowledge about Transfiguration was instilled into his mind, Aaron felt his head sink slightly, but after a while, his face was full of ecstasy.

He couldn't wait to try it, picked up the wand and tapped the water cup lightly, and the ordinary cup turned into a black arrow in the blink of an eye.

Aaron weighed it carefully and found that both the weight and the material were no different from the original.

But he knew that this black arrow was just a flawless fake. It was okay to use it to shoot other things, but it would probably not even break the dragon armor when slaying a dragon.

This is also the limitation of Transfiguration. One object can be turned into another object, but it is impossible to transform 100%.

He can turn stones into exquisite gold ornaments, but this kind of ornaments can only serve as a decoration and will not bring any benefit to the human body.

But think about it, if you can really change matter at will, the magic world would have been in chaos long ago.

Aaron shrugged, turned the black arrow into a turtle, and watched it crawl on the table with interest for a while before turning it back into a water cup.

After sighing at the magic of Transfiguration, Aaron began to experiment with Animagus.

He tapped his arm with his wand, and his body quickly turned into a raven.

After a while, Aaron flapped his black wings and experienced the feeling of flying in the room before changing himself back.

As for the second type of Animagus, he did not try it. This room could not squeeze a giant dragon. Although he could also turn into a dragon cub less than half a meter, it was completely unnecessary.

"I am now a master of Transfiguration. Not to mention Professor McGonagall, even Dumbledore may not be as good as me in this regard." Aaron thought complacently, and then focused on the illusion projection, and happily spent 700 magic points to buy it.

This is a profound illusion. Although it has little attack power, the cost performance is higher than that of a powerful spell.

Snap!

Aaron snapped his fingers, and the room instantly turned into his own bedroom. Then Abe jumped out and flew happily on the ceiling.

But illusions are illusions after all. Apart from deceiving the eyes, they are not real at all.

"I don't know when I can go back, but it shouldn't be far away." Aaron muttered to himself, and then added a thousand magic points to the magic power, raising his strength from a mid-level magician to a high-level magician.

As for the remaining magic points, they were reserved for refreshing the mall or returning to help Abe improve his strength.
