[The Lord of the Rings The Hobbit] Ruby

"Go!" Legolas reacted quickly, and jumped off the stairs with his arms around Bahn (that is, the little boy who adored Legolas). The frightened two little girls ran out of the house, and the remaining Tariel looked at the wounded, then at the bewildered dwarves, pouted, put the wounded on his back and followed Lai Goras jumped out of the window as lightly as Goras, Fili and the others looked at each other, and hurriedly packed up and ran away.

Legolas found a boat, threw away the sundries piled on it, and a group of people boarded the boat as fast as they could, and rowed desperately out of the town.

Smaug has flown over the town of Long Lake, with its huge body flying over people's heads, its sharp claws, broad and powerful wings, and its fireballs destroying one house after another, venting its anger because thieves slipped away from under their noses. brought anger.There were screams and cries of people everywhere.Changhu Town is already in flames.Some people who had no time to escape from the house let out bursts of twisted and shrill screams in the raging flames, and many floating corpses could even be seen on the river.In front of the evil dragon, whether it is a human elf or a dwarf, they are all equally small.

This is a real hell on earth, not a fictional story in the book, nor a drama performed by everyone, but a real death.

Ellena's mind went blank, fear and anger burned like a raging fire in Ellena's heart, she stared blankly at the tragic scene in front of her, "Look carefully, what have you brought to Changhu Town? Don’t they owe you anything and insist on suffering this innocent disaster! Don’t tell me that you will be compensated with money, even if you successfully regained the lonely mountain, can human lives be compensated with the gold defiled by the evil dragon?” She His voice was distorted and hoarse, with some hysterical madness.Legolas frowned, and held down Elena who was so excited that she was about to stand up.

However, he agreed with Ellena's statement that these dwarves really owed a lesson.

The dwarves seemed to be frightened, and they dared not speak up to refute, and a rare look of shame appeared on their faces. "We will tell Sorin that he will try his best to help the people of Changhu Town, I promise." Qi Li said bitterly.

Elena calmed down, just looked at him and snorted coldly, who knows if your words will be useful to your lunatic uncle who has been bewitched by money.

The group was silent for a long time.

"It's Dad!" Suddenly, Bain pointed at a bow-drawing figure on the top of the crumbling clock tower and shouted excitedly, "I'm going to help him!" , ran towards the direction of the clock tower.

"Let him go." Ellena held down the girl and dwarf who wanted to catch up, "We have to leave."

"But he's just a child, it's too dangerous!" Fili retorted angrily.

"The legend that the last lord of River Valley didn't shoot Smaug with a dwarf wind crossbow is false," Ellena stared at the position of the bell tower, "he shot off one of Smaug's scales. Bard is a descendant of Ghirian, he Can do the same things his ancestors did, and do it better."

It seemed that they were appeased by Erlina's firm tone, and everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

"You know a lot," Legolas said affirmatively.

Elena turned her head to look at him, his eyes were like a deep blue lake, unfathomably deep, as if possessing the power to confuse people.She smiled, and said, "Elves always know a lot, for they have lived a long time, and that is no wonder."

"Really?" Legolas obviously didn't believe this reason, "My father didn't know these things, I don't think you are older than my father."

Of course, Thranduil was an old spirit who was born before the fall of Doriath in the first era. There are not many elves in Middle-earth who are older than him.

"It's a secret." Ellena blinked her eyes and smiled mysteriously. Even if you guessed it, you wouldn't think of the real reason.

Legolas snorted coldly with some disdain: "This is just an excuse for you to cover up your lies, I don't want to know."

The smile on Ellena's face froze, she turned her head and rolled her eyes, "I don't want to say anything if you don't listen to me."But when Legolas interrupted her, she felt much more relaxed.

They floated on the lake with many boats, the moon hung high in the night sky, and the cold wind in late autumn and early winter whizzed past the earth. Elena couldn't help but sneezed, feeling that her fear of cold seemed like It got a little more serious, and the cloak on his body was tightened with trembling cold fingers.

"Erlena, are you cold? Let me give you my coat." Tariel looked at Ellena with some concern.

"No need," Ellena looked at the sky not far away and changed the topic, "The battle between the archers and the dragon is about to end, let's go to the shore."

The dragon began to dive again, lower than ever before.Its belly glowed white in the moonlight with the jewel's fire as it turned over and slid down—with one exception.Elena's eyesight was very good, she saw a black feathered arrow shoot out from the bowstring, and flew towards the bare and unprotected part of the dragon's left chest, and sank into the dragon's body.Smaug let out an extremely painful and terrifying scream, unwilling to believe in the fate of death, it rushed to the sky, which startled everyone, they thought that the dragon had killed Bud and was coming to hunt down the survivors, but The huge body of the evil dragon stagnated in the air, and fell from a very high place towards the ruins of Changhu Town amidst the flames and ashes. spray.

Steam rose up, and Smaug's huge body was instantly enveloped in the white smoke.There was a loud hissing sound first, then the splashing and swirling of the lake water, and finally everything fell into silence.Laketown became the burial place of Smaug.

Except for the boats in the lake that were overturned by the huge waves and Bard's two daughters, everyone was cheering for the death of the dragon, and even enthusiastically discussed how to dig out the gems embedded in the dragon's abdomen and chest, and then divide them up.

The three of Ellena were not interested in Smaug's corpse at all. In fact, they were supposed to go after the escaped orcs, and they had already wasted a lot of time in Changhu Town.After handing over the two girls to Bard who had rushed back, and waiting for the four dwarves to set off for the lonely mountain, the three were finally able to go on the road.In fact, the orcs also left in the direction of the Lonely Mountain, but in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, Ellena felt that it was better not to drop in with the dwarves.

After walking a few steps, a soft object fell from the sky into Ellena's arms. It was a somewhat large green cloak, which exuded a pleasant fragrance of green grass.Obviously, this is Legolas' personal property.Elena held the cloak and looked at Legolas in surprise, and he explained with a serious face: "I don't want anyone in the team to be delayed due to physical reasons. If you are not cold, please return it to me." Erlina froze for a moment, then suddenly understood, happily put on her cloak and fastened it carefully with the green leaf brooch thrown by Legolas, smiling with crooked eyebrows: "It is my honor to have your help. Legolas' expression also softened a little, and he turned around awkwardly and urged: "Let's go, we have to catch up with the orcs before the smell of the goblins dissipates." He asked Bud to borrow three horses , which allows them to catch up with the orc team faster.

Elena responded, and got on the horse neatly. Looking at his tall and straight back, she couldn't help but lowered her head and sniffed the cloak again. It smelled the same as Legolas's body, and it smelled very good.

Tauriel looked at the interaction between the two in doubt, wondering why Ellena didn't want her cloak but put on Legolas's?Could it be that she thought Legolas was less afraid of the cold?I thought this reason was more likely, and just wanted to explain to Ellena that she was not afraid of the cold, but saw Ellena looked very happy, and swallowed what she was going to say involuntarily.

Far away on the Lonely Mountain, Elbor's ravens returned to the kingdom below the mountain, and soon the whole of Middle-earth would be informed of Smaug's death, friends and foes alike.

Everyone felt that something big was about to happen.
