Chapter 262 The Keyhole Appearing in the Moonlight
·
Jing Shen Tian Si
At dusk, Aaron (Missing Body) returned to Bud's house, and he almost staggered and fell to the ground as soon as he entered the door.
Seeing this, Sigrid hurriedly helped him to the chair.
"Why are you so pale?" asked Bofur.
"The magic power is seriously overdrawn." Miss Nian explained weakly. He has been outputting magic power continuously for more than ten hours, and almost disappeared by playing himself.
"What did you do?" Bahne asked puzzled, "You were fine when I left."
"Secret." Si Nian body waved his hand, "Please prepare some food and warm water for me now, I am not ordinary weak now."
Barn nodded, and quickly took out a plate of black bread and cheese sauce from his pantry.
The corner of the mind's mouth twitched, and there were even a few black lines on his forehead.
Do you have any eyesight?Just feed me this?What if I can't recover at night?
However, considering the economic conditions of the Bard family, it can only make do.
"Where's your father?"
"He's gone to the clock tower." Tilda looked at Aaron anxiously, "My dad will be fine, right?"
"Yes." The missing body showed a sure smile, "Your father will kill the dragon tonight and become the hero of the town, I promise."
The three dwarves looked at each other. If the prophecy was true and the evil dragon would come to Changhu Town, it meant that Thorin and the others failed to resolve the battle in the Lonely Mountain.
"Thorin..." Bofur hesitated to speak, "Will the expedition be successful?"
"Of course, Gaius attaches great importance to the contract.
I will help Thorin find the Arkenstone, and I will keep others safe. "
"But none of you are in Gushan, how can you guarantee it?" Qili asked weakly.
"Don't underestimate the power of the wizard." The missing body smiled inscrutablely, "I have arranged everything.
By the way, haven't you cured your poison yet? "
"I guess we'll have to wait until evening." Bivor looked at the casserole, "King Leaf Grass needs to be boiled for a long time, so as to get the purest liquid medicine."
......
On the other side, the expedition team walked for a day and finally came to Wangcheng.
Looking at the ruins of the town below, Bilbo asked in disbelief, "What is this place?"
"Where the ancient city of the river once stood is now a ruin," said Balin. "The disaster of Smaug."
"This is the power of the dragon!" Aaron sighed, and his heart became more and more eager to activate the Dragon Slayer Crystal.
As long as he learned the dragon slaying magic, within three years he would also be able to control this natural disaster-level destructive power.
"Before the sun goes down, we must find the secret door to enter the mountain." Sorin said and was about to move forward.
"Wait." Bilbo hastily stopped him. "This is the place where the city is watched. Gandalf said to meet here. Don't go into the Lonely Mountain alone."
"Did you see him?" asked Thorin, "we have no time to wait for the wizard.
We're on our own, let's go! "
"Let's go!" Aaron patted Bilbo's shoulder, "Gandalf has probably been to the tomb of the Witch King of Angmar by now, but he will be entangled in more dangerous things later, otherwise he won't be late of."
"You know?" Bilbo looked at Aaron in surprise.
"Hmm..." Aaron shook his head after pondering for a moment, "I don't know, but I can barely guess a rough idea.
In Rivendell, Gandalf enters into a discussion with the White Wizard and the two Elf Kings about their centuries-old enemy, an evil necromancer.
I can only tell you that the water here is very deep, if we little characters get involved, we will drown if we are not careful. "
"Then...is he in danger then?" Bilbo asked worriedly.
"It will definitely, but the sky will fall and there will be a tall man to support it." Aaron said very bluntly, he is more self-aware than anyone else, and it is better to do his own thing better than dragging his feet in the past.
Bilbo was speechless, but he also knew that he couldn't help, so he could only bless silently in his heart.
The expedition team searched for the entrance of the secret door according to the map, but the scope of the search target was too large, and everyone scattered and searched for more than an hour but failed to find it.
Thorin took out the map, "If the map is real, the secret door is right above us."
"Up there," cried Bilbo, pointing to the statue of Thorn's grandfather Thorin, a huge statue with a stone staircase winding its way up.
"The eyes are very sharp! Master Baggins." Thorin smiled excitedly, and immediately called everyone to start climbing the stairs, and finally arrived at the destination before sunset.
"It must be it, the hidden door." Thorin looked at the stone wall in front of him, the outline of the door was faintly visible, and the joy in his heart could hardly be restrained.
Sorin took out the key and shouted to the dwarves behind him, "Let those who doubt us regret it!"
The dwarves immediately cheered, the half-year expedition was finally not in vain, and the dwarf kingdom had hope of rebuilding.
"We have a key, which means there is a keyhole somewhere." Devlin began to search for it on the stone wall.
Looking at the afterglow of the setting sun, Sorin couldn't help reading out the words of the moon on the map, "The last light of the day of Turin will shine on the keyhole."
"The contract will be completed soon." Aaron thought happily, as long as the gate is opened, he can use Captain Jack's compass to find the legendary Arken gem and complete the system task.
However, as the sun slowly set, Dwalin did not find the keyhole.
Sorin couldn't keep his composure either, and immediately asked Noli to help, his observation ability was the strongest among the dwarves.
Nuo Li put his ears on the stone wall and kept beating with a spoon, but the sound fed back to him made him worried.
"Quiet, I can't hear you punching and kicking."
"I can't find it." Dwalin slammed the door angrily, "It's not here, not here at all."
Thorin watched the sun set and the light gradually disappear, and couldn't take it anymore, "Slam the door open."
A few dwarves took out their weapons, but the stone wall was so strong that even a knife or an axe could only produce a little spark, and even when the weapons were broken, there would be no trace left.
"It's useless, the door is closed and cannot be opened with brute force," Balin said.
"Let me try it." Aaron walked up to the stone wall and directly chanted the lock-unlocking spell, "Alahuo Cave is open."
boom!
A light yellow light appeared on the stone wall, knocking Aaron back a few steps.
"Damn!" Aaron cursed secretly, but quickly calmed down. If the secret door didn't exist, there was no need to set such a powerful spell.
The sun went down, and the last rays of daylight disappeared, and the dwarves did not break down the gate.
"Impossible!" Sorin walked up to the stone wall with the map, and murmured in disappointment, "The last light of Turin's day will shine on the keyhole.
That being said, what are we missing? "
The dwarves were silent, and it was already a strong heart to hold back their tears at this moment.
"What are we missing, Balin?" Thorin asked with a choked voice.
"The light is gone, and there's nothing we can do." Balin said with a heavy heart, "We only have one chance, let's go, guys."
"Wait a minute." Aaron stopped everyone immediately.
Can't go, don't go!
With you gone, I can't complete the contract alone!
He is only one step away from completing the first task of the system. If he gives up at this time, he will not be reconciled to killing him!
"Fluorescent flashes."
Aaron snapped his fingers, and a bright light emerged from his hands, illuminating the stone wall and the disappointed faces of the dwarves.
"Son, I know you are unwilling, but we are even more unwilling than you." Balin comforted, "But sometimes you have to learn to accept reality."
"Bullshit reality." Aaron said angrily, "I only see that you have given up hope of rebuilding the dwarf kingdom so easily."
"Sorin." Aaron looked at the godless dwarf prince, "There is a powerful spell on the rock wall, which means that we have found the right place. If you have the key, we will have the method to open the secret door.
I'm so disappointed that you're leaving now because you can't find the keyhole. "
"That's right," said Bilbo, unable to resist. "We can't give up, at least not yet."
Thorin sighed and raised his head slowly, "But we are already late."
"Who told you late? Is today the day of Turin?" Aaron rolled his eyes speechlessly, "The ancestors of your dwarves drew this map, and the ciphertext on it can only be deciphered by the words of the moon. The text is still a riddle, are you sure what you understand is correct?"
Sorin opened his mouth, looked at the key in his hand thoughtfully, and felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Can you solve the riddle?" Thorin looked at Aaron expectantly, and the others also looked at him.
"I can't." Aaron directly poured cold water on everyone's hearts.
"Then what do you say it does?"
"But it can." Aaron took out Captain Jack's compass with some reluctance, "The price-performance ratio of this thing is even higher than the magic carpet, and I paid a lot of money to get it.
It can point to what people desire most deep in their hearts, and it is a treasure in the true sense. "
"You mean it can find the keyhole?" Devlin asked suspiciously.
"Of course." Aaron opened the compass and put it in Thorin's hand, "Try it!"
Thorin swallowed, looked at the wobbly pointer on the compass, and thought that he might be crazy to bet his hope on a toy.
But now, let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!
The keyhole of the secret door, the keyhole of the secret door...
Thorin was concentrating on the position of the keyhole, and the pointer on the compass turned rapidly, and finally stopped, pointing to the lower left of the stone wall.
At the same time, the bright moonlight also cut through the clouds and shone on the stone wall.
The light moved down slowly, also pointing to the position of the keyhole.
"Keyhole." Bahrain looked at the black keyhole that appeared under the moonlight, and almost burst into tears.
"Moonlight," murmured Bilbo thoughtfully. "So the riddle means the last moonlight in autumn."
Thorin looked at the keyhole for a long time and couldn't regain his senses. When he realized it, he loosened his hand and Aaron took the compass back.
"What are you doing in a daze? Open the door!"
Thorin nodded slightly, and inserted the key into the keyhole under the expectant eyes of all the dwarves.
Seeing this, Sigrid hurriedly helped him to the chair.
"Why are you so pale?" asked Bofur.
"The magic power is seriously overdrawn." Miss Nian explained weakly. He has been outputting magic power continuously for more than ten hours, and almost disappeared by playing himself.
