Chapter 260 The Last Black Arrow

Seeing Aaron's confidence, Bud lowered his head and was silent for a moment, "In that case, I can help you."

"But pull it down, how can you help me?

That is a dragon that can destroy heaven and earth. It only has one life, so you’d better protect yourself and your family..."

Halfway through, Aaron's voice stopped abruptly, because his eyes were deeply attracted by the jet-black arrow the size of a javelin held in Bard's hand.

Black arrows are rumored to be able to penetrate dragon armor.

Although he has never seen it, Aaron is quite confident in his guess.

This arrow is made of special material and is very hard and sharp. It is not considered a magic weapon, but it can also be called a sharp weapon.

"It's hidden deep enough! Your ancestor Jirian actually left you such wealth." Aaron raised his lips lightly, "Bard, your archery skills may exist just for it."

"There is only one last black arrow left." Bard sighed with emotion. "In other words, we only have one chance, and we must kill it with one blow."

"No." Aaron shook his head inexplicably, "I am a wizard and can create a second, third, or even fourth chance for you.

The original chance of winning was 50%, but with the addition of a magic archer, a wind crossbow, and a black arrow, we have a 70% chance of winning. The remaining 30% are left to luck! "

"What are you going to do?" Bud asked.

Aaron looked at the arrow tower outside and thought for a long time before saying: "I plan to...find your mayor first."

"Why are you looking for him?" Bud frowned tightly, "He will never help, and will even hinder us.

This is not alarmist. If he wants to ensure his status, he will never allow a beloved hero to appear in the town. "

"I guess so." Aaron curled his lips disdainfully, and then tossed the bag full of gold coins, "But I don't think a greedy person like him would refuse gold.

I went to negotiate with him as a member of the expedition team without asking for his help, but at this time we must not let him cause trouble for us. After all, all we need is time. "

Bud was speechless. At this time, he really wanted to avoid any accidents.

"What happens after that?"

"Let's talk about it later, otherwise he will definitely not take me to heart after Thorin and the others leave." Aaron said, "Don't leave the house until I come back."

Walking out of the door, Aaron grinned, and the joy in his heart couldn't be suppressed.

Originally, he planned to fight Smaug to the death in the Lonely Mountain. The chances of winning were slim, but since he was safe, he could slowly look for opportunities.

But now he can wait and wait according to the prophecy, make sufficient preparations in advance, and have an excellent teammate, and he is sure to slay the dragon.

Returning to the mayor's residence, Alfred invited him in after the guard informed him.

Alfred looked at Aaron curiously, not understanding why a young man would join the dwarves, but thinking about the gold and silver treasures in the Lonely Mountain, he decided to be polite to the boy.

"this......"

"My name is Gaius, Mr. Alfred." Aaron showed a harmless smile, "I have something to do with the mayor?"

"The mayor is taking a rest. If you need anything, just tell me."

"Are you sure you can make the decision?" Aaron looked at him with some doubt, "This matter has something to do with Bud."

"Bud?" A trace of sullenness appeared on Alfred's pale face, and he sneered: "His performance tonight must have made the King under the Mountain angry.

I can make the decision, and I immediately ask the guards to take him to jail. "

"No, no, no." Aaron waved his hands hurriedly, "I'm not trying to arrest him, but I have something I need his help with."

Alfred was stunned immediately. He didn't want to give Bud a chance to show off.

"I would like to ask, what help do you want from him?"

"There is a wounded person in our team. I need Bud's house as a temporary hospital. His place is relatively clean."

“No problem, no problem at all.

I will have the family be kicked out, and his house will be requisitioned. "

Aaron: ...

This is not just a bitch, he is also a pure villain!

"Well...I still need him and his family to provide me with temporary care."

Alfred was a little disappointed, but stuffing two more people into Bud's house would give him more trouble.

"Wait a minute, it doesn't seem like you need to tell the mayor specifically about this, right?"

"That's not what I want to say." Aaron said meaningfully, "I am somewhat interested in the bell tower in Changhu Town and want to study the wind crossbow on it.

Since Bard is a descendant of Jillian, he might be able to provide me with some advice, so I want to discuss with the mayor about hiring him for a few days. "

"Ah this..."

Alfred immediately became embarrassed. The mayor was planning to attack Bud in the past two days!

"Don't worry, I understand the rules." Aaron put his hand directly into Alfred's pocket and threw in ten gold coins one after another.

Wow!

Feeling the weight of the gold, Alfred's pupils widened a bit, and his eyes when looking at Aaron became extremely kind. He immediately patted his chest and promised that the mayor would definitely agree to this.

After taking care of Alfred, Aaron found a room to rest.

The room the mayor arranged for them was very ordinary, with only the most basic furniture, but ordinary residents in Changhu Town really couldn't afford it.

Lying on the bed, Aaron made a comfortable pose and stretched his limbs in a relaxed manner.

Unfortunately, he hasn't slept in a bed for more than half a year.

Since joining the expedition team, I have slept in the open almost every day, sleeping on bedrolls. Later on, I didn’t even have to sleep on bedrolls. I can persist until now only because of human will.

"System, sign in."

"The host signed in at Changhu Town and received two magic points."

Only two?

Aaron raised his eyebrows. He currently had ninety-eight magic points, and adding these two together was exactly one hundred.

"System, open the mall."

[Magic category: @Transformation (1000 magic points, including Animagus); @Aerial control (100 magic points, flight speed depends on personal strength); @Illusion projection (700 magic points, Create a phantom of yourself and project it over a long distance); @Charm (500 magic points, literally, but it is ineffective for those with a strong will); @Out of the body (300 magic points)]

[Material category: @Phoenix feathers (30 magic points); @Dragon blood (20 magic points); @Mandrake (5 magic points); @Bezoar (1 magic point); @Rhino horn (3 magic points)]

[Item type: Blank; @Magic crystal (100 magic points, has powerful magic power, can power the magic circle); @Wizard chess (1 magic point); @Jilani’s emerald ( 50 magic points, the person who gets the gem will be in bad luck); blank]

Aaron looked at the unobstructed view of the mall panel, his eyes wavering between the magic sky control and the item magic crystal.

As expected, money is only enough to buy the same thing when it is used up.

He is going to slay the dragon next, and his flying ability can provide him with certain help.

But the magic crystal is also what he urgently needs. Continuously running the magic circle will consume his magic energy, but the magic crystal can solve this problem.

After struggling for a while, Aaron placed an order on Magic Crystal.

The magic points were instantly cleared, and all the wealth was exchanged for a palm-sized blue crystal.

Aaron sighed and decided to use this magic crystal on the bell tower, which might be able to withstand Smaug's attacks for a few more rounds.

Then he separated half of the magic energy, created a clone of the missing body, and handed the magic crystal to him.

"Changhu Town will be left to you. I will go to Yilubo to complete the contract." Aaron said.

"Can you change it? Isn't it inappropriate to put me on the main battlefield?" The missing body said worriedly. His magic energy will disappear after it is consumed, so it is not suitable for fierce battles.

"At the critical moment, I will be back in time."

...

Early the next morning, everyone in the expedition team put on brand new armor, took sharp weapons, and walked towards the nearest dock.

"We are missing a few people!" Bilbo asked, "Kili, where are Bofur and Bifur?"

"Kili is injured, they will stay here to take care of him," Thorin said.

"We must," said Balin. "We cannot afford to delay if we are to find the gate before dusk."

"Gaius." Fili looked at Aaron in confusion, "Aren't you supposed to detoxify Kili? Why are you here with us?"

"Don't worry, the arrangements have been made, and there are ways to control his poison." Aaron vowed, he had absolute confidence in the missing body.

Everyone in Changhu Town gathered at the dock and warmly sent Thorin and others off to the boat.

Alfred was confused when he saw Aaron, "Didn't you mean..."

"Fuck! Forgot about this bastard." Aaron thought to himself that he had made a mistake. He immediately changed his face to a smile and quietly stuffed a few gold coins into him, "It should be fine if I go and see them off!"

"No problem at all." Alfred smiled gently. This is human nature, and besides, he will never have trouble with money.

The farewell music sounded, and the expedition team boarded the boat and rowed out of the river with the blessings and expectations of the residents of Changhu Town.

At the same time, Bofur, who was snoring under the wine table, woke up.

"Oh my God, it's time," Bofur murmured, but the next moment he realized that he had missed the time and sat up immediately, hitting his head on the table.

Bofur rubbed his head and was about to rush out, but then a hand grabbed him from behind.

"Stop chasing. The boat has already sailed away. You can't catch up." The missing body joked, "I really don't understand how you could miss such an important moment."

Bofur was crying and his whole body felt bad.

"You didn't catch up too?"

"No, Kili was poisoned, and Thorin arranged for Bifo to stay and take care of him.

Seeing that you were still sleeping, I decided to keep you as well. "Missing Body said seriously.

"Kili was poisoned? When?" Bofur realized and asked worriedly.

"While we were avoiding the orcs, Borg shot an arrow in his leg. There was a poison on it, but it has been temporarily suppressed by my medicine. Bifo is trying to prepare an antidote."

"Where are they now?"

"Bud's house."
