Chapter 8 Winning or Losing 【Please recommend】

"Feel sorry!"

"I don't intend to insult you, let alone the bounty hunter!"

"I accept your challenge!"

Realizing the mistake he made, Thorin Oakenshield was upright and immediately apologized.

But Morgan's challenge in front of him is also an insult to him.

Thorin Oakenshield has a noble status, if he refuses the opponent's challenge, it will be a disgrace to the entire Turin dwarves.

There's no gain in winning, because that's what it should be.

His identity and blood status determined that he must win.

But if you lose, it will be even more serious.

So regardless of whether Thorin Oakenshield won or lost, it would be an insult for Morgan to openly challenge him.

Although Morgan has enough reasons.

The voice of Thorin's oaken shield agreeing to the duel challenge fell, and the people in the room immediately became noisy.

Sorin Oakenshield's identity is Morgan's identity.

Even if Morgan has enough reasons, although I don't know if the reason is fabricated by the other party.

But noble status and blood inheritance are what the entire Middle-earth values ​​most.

For Morgan to challenge Thorin Oakenshield was to humiliate all the dwarves present.

"No, Sorin, you can't promise that human kid, let me do it"

"Get out of the way, let me teach this kid Morgan a lesson."

"No, let me do it, I said it first."

"Let me come, I just saw that human kid was upset, that kid is actually more handsome than me"

"Let me come, I think he can use arrows, but you don't know how to use archery"

"What does the challenge have to do with bows and arrows, I want that kid to taste my axe"

"."

The dwarves talked and were filled with righteous indignation.

Gandalf looked at Morgan with a strange expression, but found that the kid was winking at him.

Only then did he realize that Morgan did it on purpose.

That's right, this kid doesn't look like a reckless person at first glance.

He would not fail to understand the seriousness of challenging Thorin's oaken shield, unless he didn't want that commission anymore.

Of course, Morgan's fierce reaction just now also made Gandalf feel a little nervous.

Because what Thorin Oakenshield said just now did despise Morgan, and Morgan's honor statement is very similar to that.

Now that you know it's not okay to challenge Thorin's oaken shield, it's always okay to challenge other dwarves.

Gandalf soon sensed what Morgan meant.

Yes, spare Thorin Oakenshield and challenge the other dwarves.

As long as he can win, this will not only win back respect, but also prove Morgan's strength.

In addition, I would like to say a few more words, Thorin Oak Shield, who valued this expedition very much, would never refuse a bounty hunter with Morgan's strength to join.

It happens to kill two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Gandalf immediately came out to smooth things over: "I think this is good."

After some saliva-consuming discussions.

Morgan's challenge was successfully transferred from Thorin's oaken shield to the young dwarf Kili.

Because an adventure is about to take place soon, no matter whether you win or lose, it doesn't matter who gets injured in the duel between the two.

Then it was because Morgan said that he was good at using bows and arrows, and among all the dwarves present, the young dwarf Kili was the best at archery and the best at shooting.

This can be seen from the longbow and quiver carried by the opponent.

Using the method of archery to prove who is stronger, simple and healthy, is naturally accepted by everyone.

Now that the decision has been made, the competition will begin immediately.

Bilbo's Bag End was so small that Morgan would have to bow his body while standing, so he couldn't compete.

Soon, the group moved outside Bag End.

There is too little entertainment in this world, and even less at night.

It is rare to see such excitement in the contest between two archers, Morgan and Keli.

A group of dwarves seemed to be more energetic than the two parties.

Because Morgan's challenge object became Kili.

The anger of a group of dwarves towards Morgan naturally changed as Morgan's challenge goal changed.

After all, their dwarf king, Thorin Oakenshield, was rude first.

Morgan is willing to let it go and not care about it. Although the dwarves are not very grateful, they definitely don't have any anger or hatred.

The dwarves are quick-tempered and straight-hearted, and this kind of character also means that they are straightforward. As long as they don't offend them, they are still willing to reason.

The challenge turned into hilarity.

A group of dwarves who are very good at joining in the fun naturally have an attitude of joining in the fun.

Soon, a bet was raised on who would win between Morgan and Keli.

Because the dwarves knew more about Kili's strength, those who pressed Kili won quickly accounted for the majority.

But Morgan has an extraordinary temperament, and in addition to the very rare bounty hunters in Middle-earth, they have just heard the story of the bounty hunter briefly told by the white-bearded dwarf Balin.

The dwarves couldn't help but have a certain confidence in Morgan, and they pressed on Morgan.

When the dwarves asked about Gandalf, Gandalf happily took out a bag of money and put it on Morgan without even thinking about it.

Morgan was brought by him, and he must trust Morgan.

What's more, the giant violent bear that Morgan killed a day ago already showed Morgan's strength.

Gandalf must have pressed Morgan.

Except for Thorin Oak Shield, who was present did not join in the fun and make a fortune.

Even Bilbo Baggins, who was really watching the excitement from the beginning to the end, was encouraged by the dwarves to make a bet, and he also bet on Morgan.

After the betting was completed, Morgan and Keli began to discuss how to compete.

Kili was a handsome young dwarf, with the same black hair as Morgan.

It's just that Kili's black hair is messy and messy, while Morgan's is tied into a ponytail.

The two each said a way to compete, but it was obviously not very good.

At this moment, a bird's cry suddenly came from the woods a little far away.

Morgan's eyes lit up, he had an idea, and immediately said: "Shall we shoot birds?"

After hearing this, Qili immediately looked towards the dark woods, weighed his grasp secretly, and nodded in agreement: "I agree, then shoot birds!"

The two parties determined the method of the competition, and all the dwarves began to look forward to it.

Morgan and Kili didn't say who came first, they took their bows and arrows from their backs, and arrows from their quiver.

Because the bows and arrows and arrow tail feathers of the two sides are different, the arrows shot will be easily identifiable at that time.

Although it is night at this time.

But there are a large number of stars shining in the sky, and the sky is so hazy that you can barely see them.

The two of them drew their bows and set their arrows, their faces calm and their gazes into the distance.

No one in the group of dwarves behind them dared to speak loudly for fear of affecting the two of them.

The distance between Morgan and Keli is not too far.

It was in the wild at this time, and the surroundings were quiet. The two of them could almost hear each other's breathing when they held their breaths.

Since it was a competition, neither of them dared to be careless.

When the breathing began to calm down, suddenly a bird song came from the woods ahead again.

Qili's eyes lit up, and the long-awaited arrow in his hand shot out with a "swish".

The next second, a shrill bird song was heard.

Qili looked happy, and then a happy voice came from behind: "It's shot!"

But knowing that Morgan didn't make a move, the voice quickly disappeared.

Morgan's face was calm, and the news of Kili's shooting couldn't distract him at all. Knowing how loud and scolding he was in the underground boxing ring in his previous life, he could maintain absolute concentration.

Let alone now.

Slightly narrowed eyes scanned the woods ahead carefully.

The LV2 level of archery gave Morgan a much better understanding of bows, arrows, and archery than ordinary archers.

You must know that he had practiced Muay Thai for more than 20 years in his previous life, and he only had LV2 in the system.

From here, we can see how strong the time traveler system's empowerment test enhancement is.

At this moment, a group of black shadows suddenly flew up in the dark woods.

"It's now!"

Morgan's gaze was as swift as an eagle's, followed closely behind, the bow and arrow in his hand suddenly pulled to the maximum arc, and his fingers flicked.

"Whoosh!"

The arrows roared through the air and shot straight ahead!
