Hogwarts wizards who signed in to Middle-earth

Finally we arrived at Changhu Town, located on the island in the center of the lake.

Most of the buildings in Changhu Town are on water, and the main means of transportation is boats.

Most residents make a living by fishing.

As for trade with the elves of the Woodland Kingdom, it is monopolized by the wealthy people of Changhu Town, headed by the mayor.

The two men rowed their boat to the port customs office and were stopped.

"Stop the boat!" A middle-aged man wearing a dirty brown hat walked out of the house and looked at them with suspicion and vigilance.

"Who are you?"

Dewi looked at Gandalf; it was his turn now.

"Good evening, we are tourists from the west and plan to rest here for a few days." Gandalf said in a friendly manner.

The man looked the two of them up and down, still somewhat skeptical.

"A tourist from the West? Do you have any documents? Or any goods?"

Gandalf shrugged and spread his hands.

"We have no cargo and no documents. We are just a small boat."

The man looked towards their boat and saw nothing.

"If there's no cargo, there's no need to declare customs, but you still need to pay berthing fees."

"how much is it?"

"1 silver coins."

Hearing this, Gandalf turned to look at Dewi, because the old man had no money anyway.

Dui was not short of money, so he took out two silver coins from his purse and threw them over.

The man took the coins very skillfully. When he saw that they were two silver coins, his eyes suddenly lit up and his attitude became enthusiastic.

"Do you two have any other instructions?"

"Have any strangers come into town before us?"

For the sake of money, men will tell you everything they know.

"Shortly before you arrived, a group of dwarves arrived here. They were taken home by Bard in town. I wonder if this information would be useful to you, sir?"

Dewi and Gandalf looked at each other and finally found them.

"Thanks for the information, that's very helpful."

The man then opened the gate, allowing Due and Gandalf to enter the town via the waterway.

At this time in Bud's home,

The dwarves were very anxious.

For Kíli, the youngest of the Dwarves, was shot in the leg by an Orc-arrow.

Although the arrow was pulled out immediately, the poison and black magic in the arrow still invaded Qili's body, making him weaker.

Thanks to the dwarves' strong physique, they have been able to hold on until now.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago.

The arrows of Morgul were highly poisonous and ordinary medicines were completely ineffective. Thanks to the wood elf Tauriel, who had tracked the dwarves, she healed Kili's wound with kingleaf and saved his life.

Because all the weapons of the dwarves were taken away by the elves in Mirkwood, the dwarves were now discussing how to obtain new weapons and then continue on their journey to Lonely Mountain.

Just when the discussion was getting heated, a sudden knock on the door broke the noisy atmosphere.

Others also became alert and vigilant.

"Who is it?" Bud, the host, walked to the door and opened it.

Then he saw Due and Gandalf standing outside the door.

"It seems we have arrived at the right time." Gandalf greeted with a smile.

"Gandalf!"

"Duil!"

Bilbo's eyes lit up and he ran over happily, hugging both of their thighs.

The dwarves in the house were also very surprised.

Chapter 94 The Dragon-Slaying Black Arrow

The appearance of Due and Gandalf surprised everyone.

Even Thorin Oakenshield rarely showed a happy expression.

Ever since the two of them temporarily left the team, everyone started to suffer when they entered the dark forest.

First, he was dizzy from the poisonous gas in the dense forest and lost his way. Then he broke into the giant spider's nest and was almost eaten.

After finally escaping from the giant spider's mouth, he was caught by the elves and locked up again.

After escaping from the elven dungeon, he was chased by the elves and then hunted by the orcs. The journey was extremely dangerous.

This was completely different from the previous situation with Doir and Gandalf.

Thorin seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness of their separation. He took the initiative to walk up to the two of them and said solemnly, "Welcome back, Doir and Gandalf."

"With your joining, I think this trip to Lonely Mountain will be a smooth journey!"

Hearing this, Gandalf shook his head.

"I'm afraid we can't go to the Lonely Mountain, Thorin. The expedition ends here."

As soon as the words fell, the room fell silent.

Thorin's smiling face froze in an instant and quickly turned ugly.

His sharp eyes were fixed on Gandalf.

"Gandalf, what are you talking about? What do you mean the quest ends here?"

Gandalf looked around, seeing everyone's surprised expressions, and sighed.

"We have just received accurate information from the Orcs that the dragon in the Lonely Mountain has awakened and has cooperated with Bolg, son of Azog."

"If we go to Lonely Mountain now, we'll be like sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, courting our own death!"

"So the plan to steal the Arkenstone and summon the dwarves is no longer feasible. We must re-plan and find another way!"

After hearing this, the house fell into even more silence.

The dwarves were even more devastated.

Even the Lonely Mountain Dwarf Kingdom at its most powerful time couldn't withstand the awakened dragon, let alone these dozen or so dwarves now?

I'm afraid it's not even enough to fill the dragon's teeth.

Thorin was also shocked after hearing this, but then a feeling of unwillingness surged in his heart, and his eyes were full of madness.

"No! I can't give up!"

"Even if the dragon awakens, so what? I must get the Arkenstone, no matter the cost!"

Then he said as if talking to himself: "We can split into two groups. One group will attract the dragon's attention at the front door, or even lure it out. The other group will enter from the back door and quietly take the Arkenstone..."

"Are you mad?" Gandalf tried to wake the mad dwarf. "Don't you know what disaster will happen if you anger the dragon?"

"The dragon will burn everyone to death with dragon flames. Your companions and the residents of Changhu Town will all suffer the dragon's revenge!"

Thorin's eyes were filled with madness, and he said in a cold tone, "War always comes at a price."

Everyone looked at him in shock, even the dwarves couldn't believe he would say such a thing.

"You are really crazy!" Gandalf was so angry that he had a heart attack. He clenched his staff tightly, as if trying to wake up the crazy dwarf.

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Dui finally spoke.

"Alright, there's still more than a month until Durin's Day. It's still early. Let's all calm down and discuss this slowly."

Seeing Dui speak, the oldest dwarf, Balin, also agreed: "That's right, there is still plenty of time. We can re-plan and we can always find a solution!"

Bud, as the host, also invited everyone to sit down.

Gandalf and Thorin were sulking with each other, sitting at the two extreme seats, one smoking a cigarette and the other keeping his head down in silence.

Seeing this, Bilbo and the dwarves looked at each other and dared not speak.

Dui didn't care about this atmosphere, but instead paid more attention to Bud.

The man who successfully killed the dragon Smaug in the original destiny was a descendant of Girion, the former lord of Dale.

But now he is just an ordinary resident of Changhu Town, making a living by ferrying people and selling goods.

When the dragon Smaug invaded the Lonely Mountain, the city of Dale at the foot of the mountain was also destroyed.

Girion, Lord of Dale, once shot a scale off the dragon's chest with a huge black arrow.

And the black arrow that could kill the dragon also fell into Bard's hands.

Dui looked around and quickly locked onto a black iron arrow hanging on the wall.

It was a full-metal arrow more than two meters long, looking more like a spear or a harpoon.

Dui walked over and looked it up and down.

This giant arrow is made of unknown metal. It looks heavy and gray, but it is the only known weapon that can penetrate dragon scales.

"Guest?" Bud noticed Dui's actions and walked over in confusion.

"Can you let me see this black arrow?" Dui said.

Bud showed a surprised look: "The guest knows about this arrow?"

Dui nodded.

"I've heard of it. It's said to be a sharp weapon forged by the dwarves to fight dragons. It can penetrate a dragon's hard scales and cause fatal damage."

Bard shook his head and gave a wry smile. "If it could truly penetrate dragon scales, the former Dale State wouldn't have been destroyed by the dragon! My ancestors once used it to shoot a dragon, but the dragon remained unscathed, ultimately perishing in its flames."
