Chapter 40: Dragon Slaying Black Arrow

Coming out of the dark and dense forest, Dongfang Yu and his party did not encounter any obstacles, drifting along the water, about half a day or so, they could see a town built on the lake from a distance, and then look far away, the lonely mountain is not far away, about ten or twenty miles away.

"Riverdale Town", looking at this town built on the lake, the dwarves have different expressions, and Thorin's eyes are full of embarrassment.

Rivervalley Town, located at the foot of the Lonely Mountain, was the center of dwarven foreign trade in the past, and it was very prosperous, but since the fire dragon Smaug occupied the Lonely Mountain, this once prosperous and wealthy Rivervalley Town has also declined.

Dongfang Yu, when he saw River Valley Town, he was full of thoughts in his heart, according to the original book, the closer he got to the Lonely Mountain, the more intense the attack of the half-orcs became, and even the half-orcs did not hesitate to fight against the elves, but they also wanted to kill the dwarves, but today they came to the Valley Town calmly all the way?

Did the orcs give up on the dwarf? This idea had just come to mind, and it was extinguished by Dongfang Yu, how could this be possible?

But if not, why haven't you seen orcs again? Is it because he has a strong reconnaissance ability and killed those orc spies, so that they can't grasp the traces of their own group?

Although Dongfang Yu is confident, but he is not arrogant, in the original book, the army of half-orcs can almost withstand the tripartite alliance of humans, dwarves and elves, how can he not grasp the traces of his own group?

This calm trip, instead of reassuring Dongfang Yu, made it even more uneasy, the calm of the half-orcs, like the atmosphere before the approaching storm, made people feel depressed.

In the original book, Thorin and his party entered River Valley Town, on the one hand, because someone was injured and needed treatment, and on the other hand, because they were imprisoned by the elves, although the people escaped, but the weapons were handed in, but now, Dongfang Yu even helped them "steal" the weapons, and they were not chased by the elves, so Solin and they did not mean to enter the town of River Valley.

"Thorin, you go find the keyhole first, and I'll buy some food in Riverdale Town first", however, Dongfang Yu thought about it, but said to Thorin like this.

The journey went smoothly, so Dongfang Yu and the others came to Lonely Mountain a few days earlier than in the original book, and they had to wait until the day of Turin Day, and they had to wait for a few days, and they naturally had to replenish their food, drink, and Lazar.

"It's okay", the lonely mountain is in front of you, Solin thought about it, nodded and agreed, all the people in the valley town are humans, and if you supply supplies, the dwarves are too noticeable, and Dongfang Yu, as a human being, will naturally not attract the attention of those who have a heart.

Thorin and the others went to the Lonely Mountain overnight, while Dongfang Yu went ashore and came to Rivervalley Town with the gold coins collected by the dwarves in the troll cave.

Inevitably, entering River Valley Town, Dongfang Yu was interrogated, but Dongfang Yu is a human being, and there are gold coins to open the way, just to buy some things, the people of River Valley Town naturally have no reason to stop it, so after paying a gold coin, Dongfang Yu swaggered into River Valley Town.

Materials, of course, are to be bought, vegetables, potatoes, fish and shrimp, etc., however, Dongfang Yu entered River Valley Town, of course, not simply to buy supplies, he came for the last black arrow in River Valley Town.

The fire dragon Smaug, covered with dragon scales that are stronger than steel, difficult to enter, since you want to enter it, you may encounter Smaug, as the black arrow that can kill Smaug in the original book, Dongfang Jade is naturally determined to win, at least, it can be regarded as a guarantee, isn't it?

That night, I found a small hotel in the town of River Valley to stay, although it was a hotel, but it was very shabby, even the quilt, there was a damp feeling, very uncomfortable, of course, this is much better than sleeping outside.

There was nothing to say all night, although the conditions were simple, but it was also relatively speaking, I slept comfortably, Dongfang Yu got up full of energy, there was no need to save gold coins, Dongfang Yu ate a delicate breakfast beautifully, just a little inquiry, Dongfang Yu knew where the home of the dragon slayer warrior Bud in the original book was.

On the way, remembering that the economic situation of the Bud's family was not good, and there were several children, Dongfang Yu bought some things that children liked, and came to Bud's house, knocking on the door very politely, but the person who opened the door was a teenager about fourteen or fifteen years old.

"Is there anything I can help you, sir?" , The young man looked at Dongfang Yu curiously and asked.

"I'm looking for Bud, is your father at home?" , Dongfang Yu glanced at the house, it was indeed simple, and immediately asked.

"My dad went out early to carry the fish," the boy replied.

"This is really industrious", Dongfang Yu felt that it was also reasonable, and immediately showed that he was here to do business with him, and after successfully gaining the favor of a few little guys with some children's gadgets, Dongfang Yu successfully entered Bud's house and waited patiently for the master to come back.

It's just a simple sweep, Dongfang Yu found the black arrow, compared to the ordinary arrow, the black arrow used to shoot the evil dragon is naturally much larger, if the human person holds it in his hand, it is more like a spear than an arrow, this black arrow was crossed by Bard at home, well, as a clothes pole.

Idle to nothing, chatting with a few children in the family, Dongfang Yu's witty words are like flowers, naturally a few words will make them laugh again and again, about two or three hours later, almost noon, the little girl at home said that she was going to prepare lunch, soon, the door was pushed open, a tall and thin man, walked in directly.

Dongfang Yu looked carefully, Bard was tall and thin, but his face was full of vicissitudes and perseverance, about thirty or forty years old, wearing a coat, but the clothes had a lot of holes, he looked a little down, and he also had a strong fishy smell.

When he returned home, Bud naturally saw Dongfang Yu at a glance and was slightly stunned, but before he could ask, the child next to him spoke first.

"Dad, Mr. Dongfang has come to you for business, and he has been waiting for you for almost a morning."

"Yes, Mr. Dongfang has brought a lot of interesting things."

A few children, you say a word to me, Bud can naturally see that his children have a good impression of Dongfang Yu, but Bud's heart is still vigilant, the so-called nothing to be courteous, looking at the other party's temperament is not like ordinary people, why would they be so good to themselves?

"Sir wants to do business with me? Don't know what business to do? I don't seem to have anything to make my husband like, do I? Knowing the purpose of Dongfang Yu from the children's mouths, Bard looked at Dongfang Yu for a while and asked.

"I just said it directly, I came to buy Mr. Bud's Black Arrow", Dongfang Yu went straight to the point, and his words cut straight to the point.

"Black Arrow?" , Looking at the black arrow that was used as a clothes pole by himself, Bard was slightly startled, and then looked at Dongfang Yu blankly, not understanding what he wanted the black arrow for.

"The heir of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin is back, if you want to recover the Lonely Mountain, you must defeat Smaug, and the black arrow, as a weapon that once shot the dragon scales of Smaug, can naturally cause damage to Smaug, so, we want your black arrow", Dongfang Yu did not hide from Bud, and said.

Although Dongfang Yu's words were short, the meaning contained in them made Bard grow his mouth.

Thorin is back? Still want to reclaim the Lonely Mountain? Also, almost everyone outside said that their ancestors were bragging when they shot Smaug's dragon scales with black arrows, but did the other party really believe it? And, you want to kill Smaug with black arrows?

"You want to slay dragons?" , Bud's heart was shocked, and his children were naturally even more surprised, and the boy couldn't help but exclaim.

"No!" Although Bard was shocked, he quickly calmed down and said firmly to Dongfang Yu: "There is no way you can kill Smaug."

"Whether we can kill Smaug or not is not the point to you, is it? What we want is your black arrow, as long as we can use the black arrow to shoot Smaug again where a piece of dragon scale is missing, we can kill Smaug", Dongfang Yu said as he stared at Bard seriously.

"......", Bard, there is nothing to say, indeed, all the other party wants is a black arrow, whether he can kill Smaug or not, he can't control it.

"I'll go with you!" , but, after thinking about it, Bard spoke amazingly.

"You?" , Bud's words really surprised Dongfang Yu, and he looked at Bard for some reason.

"Dad", this word made several of his children cry out even more eagerly, the evil and powerful of the fire dragon Smaug, everyone in the entire Middle-earth Continent knows about it, Dad actually wants to deal with the fire dragon?

"Everyone said that it was the mistake of the ancestors that the fire dragon was raging, if I could have shot Smaug with a black arrow back then, the lonely mountain would not have fallen, since there is hope, then I am willing to take it personally, use the black arrow to kill this beast, and clarify the world's stain on the ancestors", Bard, with a resolute expression, sonorous voice, so arrogant, admirable.

"No, all I need is your black arrow, as for slaying dragons, I have a more suitable candidate."

Although Bud's arrogance was admirable, and the fire dragon in the original book was also shot by him, Dongfang Yu thought about it for a moment, shook his head, and refused Bud's joining.
