A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 247 Giant Eagle and Magic Carpet, Killing People and Stealing Houses?

Although Thorin was rescued in time, Bilbo and the dwarves were not in a much better situation. They fought and retreated under the siege of dozens of Gundaba Wargs.

At this time, the butterfly released by Gandalf flew back, and the gray-robed wizard finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Gaius, are you going to use magic?" Gandalf asked meaningfully.

Aaron put away his wand as if nothing had happened and replaced it with the elf's long sword.

As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

"Sorry, I took the wrong weapon."

"Forget it." Gandalf smiled and shrugged, "The reinforcements have arrived."

The cry of eagles came from the sky, and suddenly there were some huge shadows in the clouds, and more than a dozen giant eagles flew from a distance.

Their bodies are even bigger than the wargs. They grabbed the wargs with their sharp claws and threw them off the cliff. The huge force pushed down the trees and pressed down the enemies. With a flap of wings, the fire in the woods rushed towards the orcs.

The appearance of the giant eagle caught the orcs off guard, and the expedition team was also under great pressure.

Including Thorin, the fighting dwarves and hobbits were all caught by them, thrown on the backs of their companions, and flew into the sky.

"So, the giant eagle is the reinforcement you invited?" Aaron asked in astonishment.

"Obviously."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Aaron said speechlessly.

"Because I'm not sure if they can get here in time."

Aaron rolled his eyes at him and jumped down from the pine tree.

But what followed him was not a giant eagle, but a dark blue blanket, on which Doli and Oli were sitting at a loss.

"Flying props?" Gandalf murmured, "It seems that Gaius is more mysterious than I thought."

As the voice fell, the pine tree could no longer support it, and Gandalf fell with it, landing on the back of a giant eagle.

"Doli, Oli, don't look like you haven't seen the world." Aaron teased.

"We just didn't expect it." Oli was still a little shocked, "I really thought I was dead when I fell."

"It's incredible." Doli murmured, "Aaron, you actually have such a treasure."

"It's inherited from my ancestors, inherited from my ancestors." Aaron said perfunctorily, and controlled the magic carpet to fly to a giant eagle, pointing at Thorin it was holding.

The giant eagle immediately understood and put the unconscious Thorin Oakenshield on the dark blue blanket.

"Is Thorin okay?" Bilbo shouted.

Aaron checked his pulse and heartbeat, then looked at the wounds on his body, and his brows gradually relaxed.

"He's still alive, the wounds are not fatal, but he needs some time to recover."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. If Thorin died, they would lose the core of the team, and the expedition plan would end in vain.

"This blanket." Bilbo said thoughtfully, "Did you give it to me before?"

"That's nice!" Aaron smiled proudly, "This thing can definitely get you home safely. Neither orcs nor ogres can threaten you."

Bilbo nodded subconsciously. As long as he didn't encounter any enemies in the air, he would be invincible with this magic blanket.

"Why didn't you take it out before?" Bilbo asked. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming you, but this magic item can play a greater role. If you use it to travel..." "This really won't work." Aaron shook his head immediately. "First of all, my magic carpet can't squeeze in an expedition team. It's not that big; secondly, it can't fly all the time. It needs to rest; finally, do you know what overload is? Now it can still bear the weight of four people and maintain a certain flying speed, but if you add one more, such as Bombur, it's probably a problem to take off. In summary, the efficiency of our team using it to travel is not as fast as walking. And when we set out, we had a group of ponies as mounts, so there was no need to take it out at all." "So that's it!" Bilbo suddenly realized, and others couldn't find any faults. "Instead of asking me, you might as well ask our grey wizard.

If he could find the giant eagle at the beginning, our efficiency would probably be increased several times!"

"Ahem!"

Gandalf just took a puff of cigarette, and he coughed because of this sentence, and then met the strange eyes of everyone.

"Everyone, don't look at me like that." Gandalf explained, "First of all, we need to crack the secrets in the map, and it is undoubtedly the most appropriate to find while walking.

Secondly, the journey should be more meaningful, otherwise how can you have the opportunity to see Rivendell and find the lost magic weapon."

"Yes!" Aaron curled his lips in disdain, "We were almost eaten by ogres, and we were almost killed by orcs several times."

"Isn't it all okay?" Gandalf smiled awkwardly, "The most important thing is that the giant eagle tribe also has its own tasks. It is a face for me to be able to take some of them to come and rescue people."

Everyone looked at each other, and Gandalf's reason also convinced them.

The giant eagle carried them all night, crossing countless mountains and ridges, and finally dropped the expedition team off on a mountain peak in the early morning.

Aaron put away the magic carpet and carried it on his back in broad daylight.

Gandalf walked up to Solingen, put his right hand on his face, closed his eyes and recited a spell.

After a while, Thorin slowly opened his eyes, and the wounds on his body miraculously healed.

"Where are the halflings?" Thorin asked slightly weakly.

"It's okay, Bilbo is here, he's safe."

Thorin breathed a sigh of relief and stood up with the help of Dwalin and Kili.

He looked at Bilbo seriously and said in a questioning tone: "What are you doing? You almost killed yourself."

"Thorin." Aaron said unhappily, "I think you should be more polite, Bilbo was the first one to run to save you.

He doesn't have much fighting ability, so to be able to do that is to be considered desperate. "

"I know." Thorin walked up to Bilbo, "I said you would be a burden, that you couldn't survive in the wilderness, that you were not worthy of adventuring with us."

At this point, Thorin paused and gave Bilbo a hug, "I have never made such a mistake in my life."

"Sorry, I questioned you." Thorin apologized with some shame.

"I will also doubt myself." Bilbo said indifferently, "I am not a hero, nor a warrior, nor even...not a snitch."

"But you played a greater role than them." Aaron smiled. "If you hadn't saved the soul of this team, there would be no point in even entering the Lonely Mountain."

"The Lonely Mountain," Thorin murmured.

His eyes looked into the distance, where a towering mountain peak was standing there.

"Our destination." Aaron looked excited. "I thought we would have to walk for a few months, but I didn't expect that the giant eagle would send us here."

"Erubor, the Lonely Mountain." Gandalf said with emotion, "The last great dwarf kingdom in Middle-earth."

"Our home," Thorin said with a smile.

At this time, a bird flashed in front of their eyes, flapping its wings and flying towards the lonely mountain.

"It's the doming bird. The bird has returned to the lonely mountain." Ouyin said. This was completely consistent with the omen he had read, which meant that the rule of the evil dragon would come to an end.

"My dear Oin, that is a thrush," said Gandalf.

"Let's take it as a sign!" Thorin raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's a good sign."

"You're right, I believe the worst is over," said Bilbo.

Hearing this, Aaron subconsciously wanted to refute.

Seeing the Lonely Mountain doesn't mean it's all over, quite the opposite, Smaug is the worst part.

But looking at the smiles on other people's faces, he didn't want to spoil the scene and ruin the lively atmosphere.

...

The expedition team continued to move forward, but they underestimated Azog's murderous intention towards Thorin Oakenshield. After all, the hatred of a broken arm is irreconcilable.

The pale Orc led a group of Orcs to chase them for more than half a month before barely catching up with them.

Wolf howls were heard one after another on the top of the mountain. Azog rode the white wolf and looked down carefully, hoping to find the target.

But after looking around and finding nothing, he drove the white wolf away from the top of the mountain.

"Let's go!" Aaron said in a low voice.

"Let's go." Bilbo nodded slowly, "Go back and tell Gandalf and the others!"

Just as they were about to set off, a roar of wild beasts suddenly came from one side.

The two looked at each other, then cautiously poked their heads out and discovered a huge black bear.

It was prostrate on a boulder, roaring in the distance and opening its huge mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs, as if it was looking for prey.

Gulu!

They both swallowed.

To the hobbits, bears are absolutely invincible, more terrifying than orcs.

Aaron sensed something different. It was not a bear. To be precise, it was not an ordinary bear, but a powerful magical creature.

Past experience told him that such magical creatures are very dangerous, so he should hide if he can.

The two of them did not speak in tacit agreement, but speeded up to avoid the black bear's sight.

They breathed a long sigh of relief when they returned to the dwarves' camp safely.

"How far are the enemies from us?" Thorin asked.

"Very close, not more than a few leagues (one league = three miles)," gasped Bilbo.

"But it's not the most dangerous," Aaron added.

"The orcs smell us."

"Not sure, but it's only a matter of time before we find us at this distance."

"Have they seen you?" asked Gandalf.

"Absolutely not." Aaron said firmly, "The leader was Asog, Bilbo saved Thorin from him, and I almost shot him through the throat.

If he saw us, he would definitely pursue us desperately, but he didn't do that. "

"That's good." Gandalf looked at the dwarves proudly, "See what I said? As quiet as a mouse, an excellent candidate for a snitch."

The dwarves all agreed, admiring Gandalf's vision in selecting people.

"Excuse me, although I signed the agreement, I never considered myself a snitch.

Bilbo Baggins, this hobbit does have this potential, after all, he is very light on his feet. "Aaron said, "In addition, we encountered more dangerous creatures.

My intuition tells me that it is a hundred times more terrifying than Asog. "

"What kind?" Gandalf looked serious, "Like a bear?"

"Yes, almost, but much larger," said Bilbo.

"Do you know?" Aaron looked at Gandalf unexpectedly, "What is that bear?"

"Skin-changer."

Aaron: ...

I will never ask questions like this again, and I won’t even understand the answers.

"There is a house not too far from here. We can go there for shelter."

"Is the owner of the house a friend or foe?" Thorin asked.

"When did you ask this?

We are not only being hunted by a group of orcs, but also a monster. Who knows whether it will find us. Aaron said speechlessly, "It would be best if the owner of the house is a friend, but it doesn't matter if the owner is an enemy. There are so many of us who can kill people and rob the house." "

Hearing this, everyone looked at Aaron in astonishment, and a few even took half a step back unconsciously.

"Killing people and robbing a house. It's hard to imagine that these words were said by a child less than fourteen years old?" Bahrain's eyes twitched slightly, "Your family education really scares me."

"Is there something wrong with what I said?" Aaron didn't know why. "Being kind to your enemies is being cruel to yourself. There's nothing wrong with that!"

"There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a little hard for them to accept, and it's hard for me to accept it either.

Also, the owner of the house is neither an enemy nor a friend. "

"stranger?"

"No, he's either going to help us or he's going to kill us."

"Do we have any other choice?" Thorin said solemnly.

Before he finished speaking, the roar of the giant bear had already reached everyone's ears.

Aaron spread his hands and said, "At the moment, it seems there is no choice."

Gandalf led the members of the expedition towards the house. During the process, he was discovered by the orcs. Azog immediately led a small team to pursue them, forcing them to speed up.

Roar!

When they were about to chase out of the woods, the roar of a beast came from behind.

The expedition team and the orcs stopped at the same time, turned around and saw a huge black bear charging towards them with a roar.

When Asog saw the giant bear, he also knew that he was invincible, so he had to give up the dwarves who were about to catch up, and retreated from one side with his men.

"This way, quickly, run quickly," Gandalf shouted.

Everyone came to their senses and immediately followed him towards a house not far away. Pombo even showed speed beyond the limit, catching up from last to first in a very short period of time.

He showed everyone what 'potential' is. Although he weighed several hundred kilograms, he could outrun everyone while running for his life.

"Come into the house quickly. Come in quickly." Gandalf was counting the number of people at the gate to make sure no one was left behind. When he saw a huge black bear appearing in his sight, he was so startled that he immediately ran inside.

At this time, several dwarves were banging on the door, but no matter how loud the noise was, the owner of the house had no intention of opening the door.

"Let me do it." Aaron ran over immediately. There was no door that the unlocking spell couldn't open.

But when he walked in, he found that the door was locked from the outside, which meant that no one was in the house.

"Don't these people have eyes?" Aaron complained in his mind, but without any pause in his movements, he pulled the latch and pushed the door open in one go.
