A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts
Chapter 244: Stabbing the Orc's Nest (1/2)
Chapter 244 Stabbed the Orc’s Nest
Away from the battlefield of the Stone Giant, the expedition team began to look for a place to take shelter from the rain.
After walking for a while, they luckily found a cave.
"It looks pretty safe," Thorin said. "Go and take a look at the back. There are usually things living in caves."
Dwalin took a lantern and looked around carefully, "There is nothing here."
Groin threw down a pile of wood and said, "I'll light the fire."
"No, don't light a fire here." Thorin stopped him, "Go to sleep! We will leave at dawn."
"We should wait for Gandalf to meet up in the mountains." Balin said with some confusion, "That was the original plan."
“Plans change.
Bofur, you deserve the first update. "
"Please be considerate!" Aaron patted Bahrain on the shoulder, "The Turin day is getting closer and closer, and it is understandable that he is anxious.
Besides, Gandalf is the famous gray robe wizard, he will follow. "
When everyone fell asleep and snored one after another, Bilbo quietly opened his eyes.
He packed the package, put the blanket on his back, picked up the wooden stick and walked quietly out of the cave.
However, what Bilbo didn't know was that Thorin woke up when he got up, but he said nothing and did not stop Bilbo from leaving.
As soon as Bilbo reached the entrance of the cave, Bofur, who was responsible for the night watch, spotted him and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Of course I'm going home." Aaron walked up to Bilbo, "I must have guessed right!"
Bilbo nodded guiltily, "Thorin said I shouldn't have come, and he was right.
I'm not Tooker, I'm Baggins, and I think too much. "
"Understood." Aaron smiled. "This journey is indeed too exciting for a hobbit who has enjoyed a peaceful life for decades."
"But you are a member of our expedition team." Bofur said eagerly, "I understand your homesickness..."
"No, you don't understand.
You are dwarves, accustomed to this kind of life, traveling everywhere, wandering around, without belonging..."
Bilbo suddenly saw that Bofur's face turned ugly, and he suddenly realized that his words were hurtful.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to."
"No, you're right." Bofur was silent for a few seconds, then looked back at his dozens of sleeping companions, "We don't belong."
"But you are now finding your belongings." Aaron said earnestly, "Losing your home is very embarrassing, but having the courage to take it back is even more valuable than rebuilding it."
"Thank you." Bofur smiled happily, then looked at Bilbo, "I wish you all the best."
Bilbo was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Bofur to give him this 'deserter' blessing.
"Wait a moment." Aaron took out a rolled up dark blue blanket, "This is for you, no, to be precise, I will lend it to you."
"I have a blanket."
"Mine is different, Bilbo Baggins.
Opening it when you are in danger may save your life. Aaron said in a deep voice, "Don't forget, my ancestors are wizards, so it's normal to pass down some special props." "
Bilbo hesitated, realizing that this blanket was more precious than he thought.
"This is inappropriate."
"No, that's appropriate.
First of all, I just lent it to you, and you have to return it to me when I come back from Erub.
Secondly, don't forget the dangers we encountered along the way. Trolls, wargs, orcs, it's unknown whether you can return to the Shire alive without something to protect your life. "
Aaron had already said this, and Bilbo couldn't refuse. He directly stuffed the blanket into his package and said, "You are welcome to come to my house at any time."
"Took may have been a great adventurer, but Bilbo Baggins may not be his equal."
Just as Bilbo was about to turn around, he heard Aaron's words, and his mood suddenly became extremely complicated.
"What is that?" Bofur suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on the dagger at Bilbo's waist.
Blue light overflowed from the scabbard, making it particularly conspicuous in the dark cave.
"Oh!" Aaron's expression changed drastically, "I think we are in big trouble."
He immediately turned around and shouted: "Everyone, don't sleep, the enemy is nearby."
After the words fell, the dwarves opened their eyes in a daze.
Thorin didn't sleep. He stood up first to remind everyone, but it was too late.
The ground cracked open at an exaggerated speed, and everyone fell uncontrollably.
Below is a long tunnel with a torch every few meters. It was dug by humans, but the digging was very rough.
One by one, the members of the expedition fell onto a wooden platform suspended in mid-air. Aaron was the last one to fall, and he fell right on Pombo's belly without any damage.
Before anyone could react, a dense crowd of orcs surrounded them.
They swarmed up, captured the expedition team without saying a word, and escorted them to a simple wooden bridge.
None of the dwarves was left behind, and Aaron did not escape, but Bilbo lay on the ground and was lucky enough to escape the sight of the orcs.
"Don't touch me." Noli resisted and pushed away the orc who was holding him. An inadvertent turn of his head allowed him to discover the last fish that had slipped through the net, Bilbo Baggins.
Aaron immediately gave him a wink, signaling him not to expose Bilbo.
Noli didn't want to implicate the hobbit, so he followed the orc forward honestly.
Aaron deliberately slowed down while crossing the wooden bridge, keeping a few meters away from the orc team escorting them.
When he turned a corner, he deliberately fell to the ground, and the three orcs who were escorting him were also blocked for a few seconds, separated from the large army in front.
An orc planned to drag him forward, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Aaron grabbed his neck and twisted it with both hands without making a sound.
Before the second orc could react, Aaron jumped up and used his full strength to lift the sky.
Click!
There was a sound of skull shattering, and the orc collapsed to the ground.
"It's your turn." Aaron sneered as he looked at the last orc and walked over slowly.
"Come..."
The orc also realized that he was no match for him in a one-on-one fight. Just when he wanted to call someone, he found that he couldn't move and couldn't make a sound.
"Petrification spell, a simple spell, but very effective." Aaron slowly walked up to the petrified orc, ignoring his panicked eyes, and pointed his wand directly at his head.
"Torn apart."
A white light flashed, and the orcs turned into ashes and disappeared.
call!
Aaron breathed a sigh of relief.
He hadn't used magic for a long time, which made him feel uncomfortable. Today he could let off some steam.
Aaron looked at this place carefully, and his face couldn't help but become heavy.
The orc lair is built underground, with countless wooden bridges connecting intricate caves and illuminated by torches.
The structure is very clear and can be seen at a glance, but it is also very confusing. There are countless layers up and down, and you can't find the direction if you want to escape from here.
The most important thing is that there are too many orcs, and it is not an exaggeration to describe them as tens of thousands.
"Trouble!"
Aaron patted his forehead and decided to put Bilbo in a safe place first before rescuing Thorin and the others.
Because in a place like this, the hobbits are like fish on the chopping board and may be gone in the next second, but Thorin and the others are warriors and can hold on for a while.
Furthermore, the orcs did not kill them immediately, either to put them in a cell or to take them to see the leader of the orcs.
In the short term, the lives of the dwarves will not be in danger.
Aaron returned the same way and didn't go far when he saw the flashing blue light. Bilbo was holding a short sword and fighting with an orc.
"I'm really afraid of what will happen." Aaron cursed secretly and immediately speeded up.
Bilbo's combat experience was very poor and he only knew how to block. In less than three rounds, he was ridden on the neck by an orc.
During the struggle, he also saw Aaron running over, but before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the orc dragged his body backwards.
Bilbo stumbled and fell off the cliff with the orc.
"Gan!
How many more seconds can he die? "
Aaron looked down, and even with his eyesight he could only see a dark patch.
Without hesitation, he grabbed the package Bilbo left behind and jumped down after him.
First use the wind magic circle to slow down the falling speed, and then use the magic to soften the ground to land safely.
He used it once when he came to this world. Although the result was not satisfactory, he was very familiar with it.
After falling to the ground, Aaron found Bilbo who was unconscious.
He fell right on top of a pile of soft mushroom-like plants and suffered only minor injuries.
The orc who attacked him did not have such good luck. He had no buffer at all and lay half-dead on the side, even breathing was painful.
Aaron had no idea of helping the orcs free, but patted Bilbo's cheek to wake him up.
"Huh?" Bilbo opened his eyes blankly, "Aaron, I... am still alive."
"Yeah! You're lucky."
"Where are Thorin and the others?" Bilbo asked anxiously.
"He was captured by the orcs, waiting for me to go back and save him!"
Bilbo looked at him suspiciously, "How do you save them?"
"I have my own way and won't force it, but you make me a little worried."
"Me?" Bilbo pointed to himself, suddenly realized, and waved his hand: "Don't worry about me, it's still safe here. You go and save them first."
"Okay!" Aaron handed him the package that Bilbo had left on it, "There should be an exit here. You should look for it yourself first. It would be best if you can get out. If you can't find it, open my blanket.
Of course, you can also open it if you are in danger. "
After saying that, Aaron turned around and left alone, disappearing into the darkness.
...
Uh-huh!
Aaron used phantom movement and returned to the previous wooden bridge in the blink of an eye.
He carefully climbed onto a rock high up in the orc city, and while avoiding the sight of many orcs, he also found the captured Thorin and others.
They were brought to the Orc King, a huge Orc, slightly taller than a Troll.
If the average half-orc is disgusting, then he is quite disgusting.
He was extremely ugly, with lumps all over his body, a big belly, and the flesh on his chin almost hanging down to his chest.
The Orc King recognized Thorin, teased him a bit, and then directly released a bombshell.
"I know someone is offering a high price for your head. If you want your head, your body will be spared.
You should know who I'm talking about, your old enemy.
A pale orc riding a white wolf. "
Thorin slowly raised his head and said coldly: "Asog the Destroyer is dead. He was killed on the battlefield a long time ago."
"Do you think he will no longer destroy?" the Orc King sneered, then turned to a dwarf Orc next to the throne, "Send a message to the Pale Orc and tell him that I won the big prize."
The dwarf orc quickly wrote a few lines on the paper, pulled the switch, and followed a cable to a dark cave.
Aaron looked at the dwarf orc who delivered the message, feeling thunderous in his heart.
I know that some Flags cannot be set up, and Asog the Destroyer is still alive.
The Orc King felt that he had gotten a big deal. He was sitting peacefully at home, and the bounty was automatically placed in the pot.
He immediately ordered his men to prepare meat grinders and bone crushers. In short, Azog wanted Thorin Oakenshield's head, and the remaining parts and the remaining dwarves could give them a banquet.
At the same time, deep underground, Bilbo looked at the half-dead orc lying on the ground, hesitating whether to go over and give him a touch-up.
But before he could take action, he heard slight footsteps, which frightened him and immediately hid behind a stone.
A figure crawled out of the darkness. He looked like an imp from hell, with gray skin, only a few strands of gray hair on his head, and almost a handful of bones all over his body.
But what surprised Bilbo was that such a creature that was neither human nor ghost had a pair of big eyes that exuded a strange luster.
He slowly climbed up to the orc and jumped excitedly, "Okay, okay.
Gollum, Gollum. "
After looking around the orc for a few seconds, he stood up and dragged him deeper.
The orc seemed to know what he was about to encounter and immediately resisted with all his strength, but Gulu directly picked up a stone and smashed it on his head.
Maybe the smashing was too big, and a golden ring fell from Gulu's waist to the ground.
“Better a dirty orc than an old bone.
Baby, but better than nothing. "
After Gollum dragged the orcs away, Bilbo came out from behind the stone and picked up the golden ring.
"So many bones, baby, so little meat." Gulu's voice came from the depths, "Shut up, peel the skin quickly, and start from the beginning."
Bilbo raised the dagger and approached carefully. At this time, the dagger was still emitting blue light, which meant that the orc was still alive.
After getting closer, there is a huge underground lake.
Gollum was on a towering rock in the center of the lake, reciting a horrifying poem while hitting the orc's head with a stone.
The orc made a desperate struggle, but to no avail.
Bilbo noticed that the dagger in his hand no longer glowed blue, and he retreated behind a rock in fright.
But this flash of blue light also caught Gulu's attention. He realized that there were other people here, gently paddling a dilapidated wooden boat, and approaching cautiously.
Bilbo looked back and found no sign of Gollum, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He subconsciously grasped the blanket on his back. Only this blanket could bring him a certain sense of security in this dark underground space.
After a while, the sound of deep breathing came from the top of Bilbo's head.
He raised his head and saw a pair of big eyes emitting blue light, and couldn't help but shudder.
Gollum jumped down from the rock and jumped right in front of Bilbo.
"Thank you for your blessing, honey, this looks like a lot of meat."
