A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

After turning the key, Thorin pushed open the secret door.

"Erub!"

Entering the secret door, Thorin was moved by the scene, "I recognize these walls, these halls, these stones.

Do you remember, Bahrain? The room was glittering with gold. "

"I remember." Balin nodded with tears in his eyes.

Groin looked at the mural on the wall, "Here is the seventh kingdom of the Turin clan. May the Heart of the Mountain unite all the dwarves to defend their homeland."

"Is that the Aken gem?" Aaron noticed that on the king's throne in the mural, an oval gem was radiating light in all directions.

"Yes," Thorin said. "It is the goal of the two of you."

Bilbo and Aaron looked at each other. When things came to a close, both snitches felt a little panicked.

Not sure whether Smaug was still sleeping, the dwarves did not dare to take risks, so Balin, who was most familiar with Erub, led the way for the two of them.

"I know we are looking for gems, but what kind of gems are they?" asked Bilbo.

"A big, white gem."

"That's it?" Bilbo's eyes twitched slightly, "I think there must be a lot of gems down there."

"There is only one Arken gem. You will definitely recognize it when you see it."

"Don't worry." Aaron raised the compass in his hand and said confidently: "We can find him without having to recognize him."

Balin suddenly stopped and sighed: "To be honest, you two, I don't know what you will see down there.

You can go back if you don't want to, there's nothing to be ashamed of. "

"No, Balin." Bilbo said righteously, "I promised that I would do it. I must try."

"I won't even mention it." Aaron grinned, showing a row of white teeth, "Our family attaches great importance to contracts, and I will find the Arken gem.

In addition, you should also be mentally prepared. As long as Smaug is alive, Thorin will not be the true king under the mountain. "

"We understand." Balin nodded, "But the Arken Stone can unite the dwarf tribe. The dwarf army may be able to defeat the dragon and retake Erub."

Aaron shrugged, secretly thinking that you won't have this chance.

The leader belongs to him, no one can steal it.

"Let's go! Bilbo."

"Wait." Balin stopped the two of them and said intermittently: "If there is really a living dragon down there, don't wake it up."

Bilbo swallowed uncontrollably and wanted to ask more questions, but Balin had already left.

The two continued to move forward, keeping their footsteps as low as possible.

"Bilbo, is your heartbeat too exaggerated?" Aaron said speechlessly.

"Do you dare to say that you are not afraid or nervous?

That is the legendary dragon. I have lived for decades and have never seen a dragon. Old Tuke may not have seen one either. "

"Calm down." Aaron smiled lightly, "As long as I'm here, you'll be fine. I can guarantee that."

Hearing this, Bilbo's heartbeat slowed down a bit.

After all, Aaron's force value is much higher than his, and he is still a mage, so he still has a sense of security.

Entering the last door, Bilbo began to impose psychological suggestions on himself: He is not at home, he is not at home, he is not at home...

The two of them suddenly stopped and looked at the palace below in astonishment.

This dwarf's palace is filled with gold coins, and various gems can be seen everywhere.

"This is too spectacular!" Bilbo rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"I've seen something more spectacular." Aaron was also a little shocked. The dwarf's wealth almost caught up with his family's treasury.

No wonder Smaug took over Irubor. Dragons just like shiny gold things. With so much gold blatantly placed here, you can’t even justify not snatching it away.

"Can the compass find the Arkenstone?" Bilbo asked in a low voice.

Aaron looked at the stationary hands and then at the golden ocean below, with a wry smile on his face.

"The direction can be determined, but there are too many gold coins down there. We probably have to dig them out."

"Phew!" Bilbo took a deep breath, "Let's go down first and then talk!"

Aaron didn't object. The first step was always to go out.

But just as the two took the first step, the gold coins under their feet began to slide down.

"Nah!" Aaron said speechlessly, "I guess I don't even have to dig out the gems to wake it up."

Shh!

Bilbo immediately made a silence gesture and pointed at the pointer on the compass, indicating to Aaron to concentrate on digging for treasure and not to speak.

Aaron spread his hands and walked forward along the pointer.

The two slowly walked to the center of the hall, preparing to climb over a mountain of gold coins more than ten meters high.

But at this moment, the gold coins a few meters away were sliding down. When Aaron saw this, he immediately dragged Bilbo and hid behind a pillar.

"What's wrong?"

Aaron bent down slightly and picked up a golden mirror. Through its reflection, Bilbo could see a huge dragon's eye clearly.

Bilbo's heartbeat quickened, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Smaug, it's at home."

Aaron nodded and planned to go around in another direction. After all, acting under the eyes of the dragon could easily cause a heart attack.

But as soon as he turned around, the gold coins on the other side also fell down.

Aaron took a deep breath and hid quickly.

Bilbo opened his arms in a daze, silently comparing his size with Smaug's, and then squatted down humbly.

"At least fifty meters." Aaron said with a smile, "It is bigger than any dragon I have ever seen. I will definitely not be its opponent in a head-on confrontation."

The sound of gold coins falling was heard, and a pile of gold coins slowly slid down from diagonally above to the feet of the two people.

The cold vertical pupils suddenly opened and scanned everything within sight.

Bilbo was so frightened that he almost fell down, but Aaron pulled him up in time to avoid being exposed.

The huge dragon head slowly lifted up from the gold coin, followed by the sound of heavy breathing. Smaug seemed to smell the breath of a stranger, and he grinned with a mocking smile.

Aaron and Bilbo looked at each other. One cast a disillusionment spell on himself, and the other decisively put on the magic ring and became invisible at the same time.

"Okay, thief." Smaug looked at the pillar, his nostrils twitching slightly, "I can smell it, I can hear your breathing, I feel your presence.

Where are you? Where are you? "

As the huge dragon head approached, Bilbo became nervous and ran away.

Aaron didn't stand still and ran in a different direction.

Although Smaug couldn't see the two of them, he could judge their general direction by the sound of their footsteps.

"Come out! Don't be shy, show up!" Smaug moved teasingly in Bilbo's direction, "You are a bit strange, it's something you brought with you.

A thing made of gold, but more precious. "

Bilbo was soaked in cold sweat. Smaug's words made him trance-like. The terrifying evil eye flashed in his mind. After coming back to his senses, he realized that he had taken off the ring, and then he saw the ring close at hand. faucet.

"There you are! The thief in the shadows.

What about the other one? Why don't you come out and show your face? "

When Aaron heard this, he secretly complained in his heart.

If you ask me to go out, I will go out? Wouldn't that be very shameless?

"Aren't you going to come out?" Smaug sneered, sniffing Aaron's scent and chasing after him, "I'm very familiar with human scent, do you think you can avoid it?

But you are special, you can hide your traces even without the Ring. "

Smaug's pupils stared at the top of the pile of gold coins, as if he was sure that Aaron was there.

It took a deep breath, and a flash of surprise flashed in the dragon's eyes, "Who are you? Why do you have the same kind of aura?

It's unbelievable that there are other dragons in Middle-earth besides me. "

similar?

Aaron was stunned for a moment, and then Smaug's sense of smell was shocked.

He and Abe had been separated for more than half a year, and he could actually smell it.

"answer the questions."

Smaug slapped it down with his paw, and a large number of gold coins and gems fell like raindrops.

Aaron couldn't continue to be invisible, so he reluctantly lifted the phantom spell.

"Still a child?" Smaug was even more surprised and stared at Aaron meaningfully, "How old are you?"

"Let's call it fourteen!" Aaron said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, and then slowly walked to Bilbo's side, "I'm more curious about how old you are?"

"I don't remember anything from the first era until now." Smaug said coldly, "Now tell me the news about the other dragons, and I will spare your life."

"Ah this..."

"Say." Smaug's voice rose a little higher, "Who is it? Where is it?"

Aaron scratched his head in embarrassment, "Abe should still be at my house. I have raised him since he was born. He should be almost three years old now!"

But he's not as big as you, only less than five meters now. "

Hearing this, Smaug was so scorched on the outside and tender on the inside that he could not recover for a while.

Bilbo was also dumbfounded, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Raise a dragon? There must be a limit to joking!

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Smaug roared angrily, "How could a noble dragon succumb to a mere human?"

Aaron: ...

If we really talk about blood, even gods may not be as noble as me.

"Who knows?" Aaron pretended, "Maybe it has something to do with personality charm."

A sinister smile appeared on the corner of Smaug's mouth, "Charisma?

It doesn't matter, there's nothing attractive about dead people. "

"Huh? You promised to spare my life!"

"Innocent child." Smaug opened his mouth, revealing a mouth full of fangs.

"Innocent children can't walk here!" A low voice came from Aaron's throat, and Smaug, who had originally planned to swallow him alive, stopped abruptly.

"Dragon Whisperer?"

"Dragon language, the language of dragons." Bilbo looked at Aaron in astonishment, "You know the language of dragons?"

"How else are we going to raise a dragon?" Aaron said confidently.

"Hmph!" Smaug snorted, "Get out of here before I change my mind. This is the only mercy I have for you."

Aaron yawned, "Sorry, I won't leave until I achieve my goal."
