A Magical Journey Starting at Hogwarts

Chapter 272 The troops are approaching the city, but nothing is left

Aaron took out the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, and the red light seemed extremely hot to him.

Dragon Slayer Magic, magic to fight against dragons.

If he had learned this magic one day earlier, he would not have fought so hard last night, and he would even have the confidence to fight Smaug head-on.

"System, it won't hurt if you fuse the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, right?" Aaron asked with some concern.

"The host can choose not to fuse."

Aaron:......

Well, it's a waste of time.

It took so long to activate the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal, how could I give up because of a little pain.

"Then do I need to make any preparations?

For example, enough food, enough time, a safe place, etc."

"As long as the host can bear it, there is no need to prepare these."

Hearing this, Aaron was silent for a long time and finally made up his mind.

He first cast a soundproof spell on the room, and then set up a layer of defensive barrier, including the door, walls, floor, and even the ceiling.

After feeling a little safe, he picked up the Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal and silently absorbed it.

As the red crystals slowly melted into his body, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, as if every inch of his skin was soaked in boiling magma.

The tearing pain made his face twisted and trembled, and sweat soon soaked his clothes.

"Damn it... This is definitely more exciting than drilling the heart and cutting the bones." Aaron gritted his teeth and held on without shouting, but he didn't hold on for long before his vision was swallowed by darkness.

......

Only the next morning did Aaron open his eyes blankly.

Recalling yesterday's experience, he couldn't help but shudder, which simply broke his perception of pain.

He checked his clothes and found that they were intact, and he was not naked.

Standing in front of the mirror, his appearance did not change much, but a closer look showed that he was more calm.

"System, open the personal panel."

"Okay, host."

[Host: Aaron Gaius]

[Magic power: 9564 (high-level magician, high-end combat power in the magic world)]

[Talent: Once in a lifetime (magic power increases by 4 points every day)]

[Items: Moon Drop (can remove any negative spell), Resurrection Potion (can revive any creature that died within an hour), Magic Carpet]

[Magic points: 310]

"Has the talent completed the transformation?" Aaron raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, but he felt that this was reasonable.

The Dragon Slayer Magic Crystal brought him not only Dragon Slayer Magic, but also greatly improved his physique.

His physical fitness is now twice as strong as before. If he fights against the ogre again, he has full confidence that he can smash the opponent.

Bang!

Spreading his palm, a ball of red flame burned in the palm.

The temperature was very high, but he did not feel any pain, but felt a little warm.

Fire Dragon Slayer Magic?

Aaron was a little dissatisfied with this attribute. Fire attribute is the most common, and most dragons' breath is flame.

But if you think about it from another angle, it's not bad. At least the threat of dragons to him will be greatly reduced.

In addition to the basic moves such as roar, iron fist, and wing attack, he also mastered the secret of dragon slaying, which was a pleasant surprise, saving time and energy in developing moves.

As for the deeper dragon power, he can't awaken it now, and it is estimated that the magic power will be raised one or two levels before it is possible.

"Thank Smaug." Aaron mourned for Smaug in his heart for three minutes, and then signed in for today.

As soon as he opened the door, Bilbo hurried over, "Thank God, you finally woke up."

"What's wrong? Did something happen while I was asleep?"

"Thorin blocked the city gate with stones."

"Isn't that normal?" Aaron didn't care, "This is originally a dwarf city. Let alone repairing the city gate, we can't control it even if it is demolished."

Bilbo's face twitched slightly, "Maybe it's like this under normal circumstances, but that city gate keeps the residents of Long Lake Town out.

You came from Long Lake Town, you should know that the people there are homeless. Hundreds of refugees have flocked to the ruins of Dale State, but Thorin doesn't intend to help them."

Aaron frowned slightly and was silent for a moment Then he said, "It's understandable."

"What?" Bilbo looked at Aaron in surprise, "That's hundreds of lives, and Bard's family is also in it."

"I know, but Thorin is right to do so.

There is not much food and water in Erebor, barely enough for us to support for a while, but it is a drop in the bucket for refugees.

This city is not short of places to live, but the treasure is real. Can you guarantee that after Thorin takes them in, they will obey the arrangements honestly?

Don't forget, the performance of those townspeople the night before we set out, their desire for gold is no less than anyone else."

Hearing this, Bilbo swallowed his saliva, "It shouldn't be the case!"

Puff!

Aaron couldn't help but sneered, "Is it appropriate to use 'should' at this time?

If Erebor is still a glorious dwarf kingdom, there is no need to worry about the strong soldiers and horses, I will take the initiative to persuade Thorin to take those refugees in.

But now there are only a dozen of us in this city. What if they turn the tables and drive us out?

Human greed is the most elusive. They may be grateful when they first come in, but who can guarantee that they will not be tempted by the dwarves' treasures, occupy the magpie's nest, and treat Erub as their new home? "

Bilbo opened his mouth and found himself speechless.

Thorin finally regained the lonely mountain and would never allow any uncertain factors to come in.

"Then we just watch helplessly? Watching them starve and freeze outside?"

"We can provide them with clothing to keep out the cold, as well as charcoal for heating." Aaron said solemnly, "This is enough to help them survive the severe winter, and it can be considered the most benevolent thing."

Bilbo sighed and nodded silently.

But then he suddenly thought of something and said immediately: "By the way, what's worse is that there is an army of elves outside."

"...

Wotfak! "

Aaron couldn't calm down anymore. He thought he could relax for a few days by killing Smaug.

Although Irube will face the invasion of evil forces next, at least it can give them some time to rest.

After Thorin succeeds to the throne and gathers the dwarf army, he may not be able to survive this crisis.

But I didn't expect that there was an army stationed outside on the second day, and they were the dwarves' former elven allies. Life was so unpredictable that the big intestine wrapped around the small intestine.

Not daring to delay, Aaron quickly followed Bilbo to the city wall.

Seeing that the river valley city opposite was filled with elves wearing golden armor, Aaron felt his head buzzing.

Damn it! Thranduil's timing at this time was too accurate!

At this speed, it is estimated that as soon as the evil dragon's front legs died, he sent an army with his rear legs.

"Welcome, my friend." Thorin looked at Aaron with a smile, "I know you are very tired, but I didn't notify you when we built the city wall yesterday."

"Uh...thank you." Aaron said with a smile, then looked to the other side, "What is going on?"

"It's just the despicable elves who want to seize the fruits of victory." Thorin didn't care, "but Thranduil underestimated the dwarves too much, and his plan is bound to fail."

"Thorin, you may not be happy when I say this, but I have to say it.

There are only a dozen of us, and there is an army outside, which we cannot defeat. "

"Yes, that's right, we are outnumbered." Bilbo nodded in agreement, "We must try to avoid war. If peace talks can be made, I suggest..."

"Impossible." Thorin interrupted Bilbo directly, "They have already arrived at the city. This is force, and the dwarves will never compromise."

Bilbo suddenly felt extremely tired. He didn't understand where Thorin got such confidence.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves was heard from the opposite side, and Bard was seen riding a white horse, arriving alone in front of the city gate.

"Long live Thorin, son of Thorne." Bard said, looking at the people on the wall. "It's such a joy to see you alive."

"Why did you come to the king's city under the mountain to challenge the enemy?" Thorin asked calmly.

"Why is the king under the mountain hiding inside the city wall like a turtle with his head shrinking?"

"Because I'm worried that robbers will come to rob me."

“Your Majesty, we won’t rob you, we just want to solve the problem.

Aren't you going to talk to me? "

Thorin paused, nodded slightly, and walked down the city wall.

"This person is probably here to collect a debt." Aaron said with a meaningful smile, "But he definitely feels at ease with this debt."

"What account?" Bilbo asked puzzled.

"The king's promise." Aaron shrugged and followed down the stairs.

Bilbo also remembered Thorin's promise in Lake Town, and nodded thoughtfully.

Bard came to the bottom of the city wall and started talking with Bard across a city gate made of huge stones.

Thorin leaned against the city gate and showed his profile to Bard, "I'm all ears."

"On behalf of all the people of Changhu Town, I ask you to abide by your promise and share part of your wealth so that we can rebuild our homes."

"We have no promises." Thorin shook his head and refused, looking at Bard provocatively, "because your people have already arrived at the city."

"Thorin." Aaron couldn't help but interjected, "I have to remind you that that is the promise you made in the name of the dwarf prince."

Thorin waved his hand, "Listen to him first."

"Our request is reasonable," Bard said. "My people have helped you, but you have brought them destruction and death."

"Is it reasonable?" Thorin asked, "You are doing it for generous rewards, whether it is you or the townspeople."

"That's a fair deal." Bud said eagerly.

"You mean to trade dignity for blankets and food in order to survive and continue?" Thorin's voice was filled with anger. "Is this fair? We have no choice at all.

So, Bard the Dragonslayer, why should I abide by those conditions? "

"Because that's the promise you made to us. Isn't it worthless?"

Thorin lowered his head to avoid Bard's sight. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Go away, or I will shoot you to death with an arrow."

Bud closed his eyes in disappointment, "You are provoking a war and forcing us to fight up the mountain."

"Wait, Bud." Aaron stopped him hastily, "Give me some time and I will convince him."

Bard gave Aaron a deep look, "I will try to dissuade King Thranduil, but you'd better convince Oakenshield before the end of the day."
