Becoming a winner in life starts with becoming a shadow

Chapter 104: The Lord of the Rings Mission (11.6K chapter, please subscribe)

After the environment changed, the fragrance of green grass had already entered Reed's nose before he could see the surrounding environment clearly.

The fragrance with the smell of soil was very refreshing, making people feel relaxed.

As the green scenery came into view, Reed had a clear view of the surrounding environment.

This is the Shire! It is also the hometown of the Baggins family in the West District.

As for why Reed was so sure, it was because Reed saw a Hobbit running wildly in a certain direction with a bag on his back.

Bilbo Baggins!

So this is not the opening plot of the Lord of the Rings, but the opening plot of the Hobbit!

After confirming this, Reed couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because what he was most afraid of was that the time node he arrived at was far away from the beginning of the plot, which would be really troublesome.

After determining the time node, Reed's brain started to work quickly.

After all, in his opinion, the beginning of the plot of The Hobbit is much friendlier to him than the beginning of the plot of The Lord of the Rings.

You know, at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, a single ring team represented multiple forces, and Reed didn't know what the situation of Lonely Mountain was like at that time.

In addition, Sauron, who had already fled back to Mordor, was much stronger in the plot period of The Lord of the Rings than in the Hobbit period.

In the Hobbit period, the situation of Lonely Mountain was very clear. After all, before the Dwarf Expeditionary Force arrived at Lonely Mountain, it was still occupied by the fire dragon Smaug.

In addition, Gollum, who was holding the Supreme Ring, also appeared during this period. In other words, as long as you wait in Lonely Mountain, Bilbo Baggins will bring the Supreme Ring to your door.

Even if the wealth in Lonely Mountain needs to defeat Smaug to get it, for Reed, the fire dragon is not an obstacle.

Perhaps for the people of Middle-earth, the evil dragon Smaug is an existence that cannot be provoked.

But to Reed, they are all dragons, and Reed's Sun Dragon form is more than twice as long as Smaug's 141 meters.

Even in a hand-to-hand fight, it is a heavyweight against a lightweight. Reed is even confident that he can bite Smaug to death after wrapping it up.

Not to mention that Reed also plans to go to Long Lake Town to get the only remaining black arrow of the Bard family as a backup means to deal with Smaug.

After all, a sharp enough black arrow can penetrate Smaug's scales. With such a deadly weapon in hand, even if Smaug has no gap in his left chest, Reed can create a new gap with his own strength, and then insert the black arrow into his chest.

Of course, this is just Reed's backup means, and it is still unknown whether it will be used.

After sorting out the timeline, Reed found that this time node was the most suitable for him.

Standing there and thinking for a while, Reed decisively gave up following the Lonely Mountain Expedition led by Thorin Oakenshield.

After spending most of the day getting a map of Middle-earth from the Shire, Reed set off alone towards Moria.

Reed's destination was Lonely Mountain, but he could choose to pass by Moria when passing through the Misty Mountains.

Since he had chosen to pass by, he naturally couldn't let go of the Balrog in the Moria Mine.

This was not because Reed had a grudge against the Balrog, nor did he like the dwarves and wanted to help them avenge. After all, Reed didn't have any good feelings for the stubborn and old-fashioned race of dwarves.

Dealing with the Balrog was just because Reed felt that this guy should not be weak. If he could kill him, it might be good for his accumulation of feats and upgrades.

You know, since the mission in the Pirate World was over, Reed had already raised his ability value to the peak of Lv.6.

The main reason why he couldn't upgrade to Lv.7 was that he was limited by insufficient feats.

Whether it was the real world or the Pirates of the Caribbean world he experienced later, there was no one who could be called Reed's opponent.

That's why when Reed saw the Misty Mountains passing by, he didn't even think about flying over there, but chose to go to the Moria Mine.

Half a day later, Reed, who was walking on the clouds all the way, arrived at the west gate of Moria.

Although Reed could no longer remember how to open the hidden portal set by the dwarves, it didn't bother Reed at all.

After all, Reed's teleportation magic is not a decoration. Although there is a powerful magic on the dwarf's gate, it is limited to that door.

As for other places, they are just relying on thick rock layers. After Reed's powerful mental power penetrated through, Reed flashed into the mine.

As soon as he came in, Reed felt the ancient, desolate and lifeless atmosphere.

Of course, Reed came early. If it was when the Ring Guard team arrived, he would probably see a lot of corpses as soon as he came in, and the feeling would definitely be worse.

What caught his eyes was a deep, dark, and endless mine tunnel. Li De's vision was different from that of humans, otherwise it would be a big problem to find the direction in the darkness that was almost pitch dark.

Following the mine tunnel, Li De entered Moria slowly, and was really shocked by the underground city ruins left by the dwarves.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Li De would not believe that the majestic and exquisite buildings were made by the dwarves.

As he walked forward and admired, although Li De had never been to Moria, he would not get lost here.

Because as long as you grasp the direction from west to east, the direction will definitely not be wrong.

In addition, there are still a large number of goblins and orcs in Moria. With the induction of life breath, Li De can also find the right direction.

In order to adjust the state before the war, Li De did not rush to travel.

Of course, with his speed, he was much faster than the Guardian of the Ring.

It takes four days for the Guardian of the Ring to pass through the Moria mine, and if Li De is not in a hurry, it will take at most two days.

This is still considering the case of a good rest, otherwise it will be faster.

About half a day after entering Moria, Li De felt a strong magical breath.

That kind of magical breath gave Li De a dark and evil feeling. Needless to say, everyone knows who the owner of this breath is.

Li De, who felt this breath, had excited colors in his eyes.

Because he could feel the power of the Balrog!

And for Li De, it is good if it is not the kind of powerful that is daunting.

After all, if you are too strong, you can't beat them at all, so there is no point in challenging them. And if you are too weak, you can't accumulate great achievements.

It seems that what Li De sensed at the moment is very good. He can finally let go and have a good fight.

If Li De's ability value had not been raised to the limit in the Pirate World, he would not have to wait until now. After all, there is no shortage of people who can fight with Li De in the Pirate World.

After replenishing food and adjusting his state, three hours later, Li De directly showed the body form of the Great Sun Dragon.

Ang!!!

A long dragon roar was then exhaled from Li De's mouth.

Along with this sound, the silent Moria seemed to wake up immediately, and noisy sounds that Li De could hear were heard everywhere.

Taking a deep breath, Li De opened his mouth in the direction where the sound was approaching.

The next second, the orange-red fire column was sprayed out by Li De after the first ugly orc appeared.

"Dragon Breath!"

"It's a dragon!"

The orcs at the front only had time to shout this before they were drowned in the orange flames.

"Dragon? How could it be a dragon!"

"Aren't there only Balrogs in the mines of Moria?"

"Damn, where did this dragon come from?"

"Did Smaug run away from the Lonely Mountain?"

The orcs who were frightened by the dragon's breath shouted loudly.

"Damn bugs, get out of here if you're not dead. Next is the time for the great Lord Cid to fight the stinking Balrog. You bugs have no right to get close." Li De couldn't help but shout loudly.

Of course, even if he didn't shout, the orcs and goblins who knew that a dragon suddenly appeared in Moria would probably just run away.

After all, dragons, like Balrogs, are not something they can provoke.

After the sound was spread far away by the amplification magic, the sound that was gathering towards Li De stopped and quickly went away.

After saying that, Li De swam towards the location of the fire demon.

Before he arrived, Li De had already seen the fire demon that he had woken up standing up from the mine.

He was dozens of meters tall, surrounded by burning flames, and exuded a strong and pungent sulfur smell.

The huge inverted horns were matched with yellow eyes that seemed to be burning flames, and the flames that spewed out of the nostrils from time to time.

At least in Li De's opinion, it really fits his impression of the devil.

"Damn long worm, you disturbed the sleep of the great Lord Valaroka, and you will pay the price of blood for it. I will pull out your bones." Before Li De spoke, the fire demon roared first.

But before he could finish the long and stinky words, he was interrupted by Li De.

Unlike before, this time, Reed took a deep breath and blew out a pale pillar of fire mixed with a hint of red.

Bang!

The next second, the pale pillar of fire directly hit the Balrog who was still talking because of anger.

Valarroka, who was hit, took two steps back because of the force, and the shadow on his chest spread out.

A slightly burnt smell entered the noses of Reed and the Balrog.

Valarroka stopped talking this time, and looked at Reed who had just spit at him not far away with some shock.

He was burned? !

As a Balrog, he was actually burned? !

When did this world become so crazy?

He was a fallen Maia, a subordinate of Morgoth, and a Balrog who was the embodiment of fire and disaster.

When Valarroka looked at Reed, Reed also looked at Valarroka.

Unlike Valarroka's shock, Reed's eyes at this moment clearly revealed dissatisfaction.

After all, this pale fire, I need to spend some strength to spray it out now.

I didn't expect that the damage to the Flame Demon was only negligible, which really made Li De a little dissatisfied.

After all, in his imagination, the effect of his pale flame should be the same as Akainu's burning of Ace.

But the gap between imagination and reality is not ordinary. It seems that I have been fooled by the old villain Oda.

"Damn worm!" Just as Li De was sighing, Valarroka had already raised the Flame Whip and whipped Li De.

"You stinking garbage, who are you looking down on!" The dragon claws turned black, and Li De grabbed the Flame Whip, and then pulled it fiercely.

The next second, Valarroka was carried forward half a step by Li De's power.

What a strong power!

Both Valarroka and Li De were very surprised.

Valarroka was surprised that Li De could actually rely on pulling the Flame Whip to make himself take half a step, while Li De was surprised that Valarroka only took half a step.

After all, Li De used all his strength in that pull just now.

After being surprised, Li De couldn't help laughing.

Because it was obvious that Valarroka's strength was definitely higher than his own, not to mention his physique.

And this means that the opponent's actual level should be higher than his own, so this challenge becomes meaningful.

Reed let go of the Flame Whip and began to shrink his body.

Then, in Valarroka's eyes, he completed the half-dragon transformation.

What the hell is this long worm in front of him?

It can also turn into a half-orc!

Is there such a magical species in Middle-earth?

Vararoka had no way to think further when he thought of this, because Li De had already shot over and punched him hard in the lower abdomen.

After a muffled bang, sparks flew everywhere, and Valarroka was knocked back several steps by Li De's punch.

Looking at his dark fist, and then looking at Valarroka who pushed back a few steps and stabilized his body, Li De felt that he was full of fighting spirit at this moment.

"Go to hell!" Valarroka, who felt the pain, half-crouched after retreating a few steps after dispersing the flaming whip in his hand, and then aimed his inverted horns at Li De.

The next moment, the flames behind Valarroka suddenly burst out violently, and the powerful flames brought a huge thrust to Valarroka, which made Valarroka's body instantly cross a distance of hundreds of meters.

Boom!

After a loud bang spread far in the Moria Mine, a figure flew backwards for hundreds of meters, and then hit the solid rock wall heavily.

"Enough!" Reed, who was trapped in the rock wall, couldn't help but shout.

Reed could definitely dodge the attack just now by Valarroka. After all, although its move was fast, the prelude was too obvious.

With Reed's perception of observation, even if this move had been used, he could dodge it.

But Reed didn't dodge, but raised his dark iron fist and went straight up.

Then Reed's fist collided fiercely with Valarroka's horn head.

Although Reed was pushed out as expected, Valarroka didn't take much advantage.

After all, although Reed's strength was not as good as it, Reed's fist was quite tough, and it still hit Valarroka's head.

After the punch, Valarroka shook his head, which was a little dizzy, after knocking Li De away.

Bang!

Li De, who broke free from the rock wall, jumped to the ground not far from Valarroka again with the sound.

Although it looked like a father and son confronting Valarroka, who was more than ten meters tall, Li De was much more flexible than the dragon of more than three hundred meters at this moment.

After all, even if his race changed unexpectedly, Li De was used to fighting in human form, not dragon form.

"Go to hell!" Seeing Li De appear in front of him unscathed, Valarroka shouted while spitting flames from his nostrils.

Then the arm burning with flames blasted towards Li De.

He took a half step back and slightly tilted his body. Li De dodged Valarroka's fist with extreme evasion.

Then he turned around, and the iron fist mixed with black and red hit Valarokka's lower abdomen directly with his middle door wide open.

It was not until the pain came that Valarokka heard two words from Li De's mouth in a disdainful tone: "So slow!"

"I want you to die!" The stimulated Valarokka instantly lost his reason, condensed a flaming long sword, and chopped at Li De like crazy.

"Then come and try it!" Li De immediately drew out the Nine Stars to meet him.

Are you kidding? You, a fallen Maia, know nothing about swordsmanship, and dare to play hand-to-hand combat. Do you really think you are Gandalf, the son of destiny?

I can't kill you!

As the close combat began, angry roars came from the depths of Moria from time to time.

As for the vibration that seemed to collapse Moria, it has never stopped since the beginning of the war.

The orcs and goblins who originally wanted to wait and see, after feeling the aura of doom, let alone approach, they only regretted that their parents didn't give them two more legs and didn't run fast enough.

After all, many places in the entire Moria Mine collapsed due to the aftermath of the battle between Reed and Valarroka.

After three whole days, the heart of the fire demon that gave people a feeling of never extinguishing finally extinguished the last flame under excessive consumption.

Sitting on the ground, Reed couldn't help but breathe heavily.

This was the first time he had fought for such a long time.

It must be said that the fire demon Valarroka was really tough.

No matter punching, kicking or blade, Reed could only hurt it at most.

As for damage, don't even think about it before Valarroka's own magic power drops to a certain level.

What Li De didn't expect the most was that this Balrog, who looked reckless, could actually use magic.

And it wasn't fire magic, but the kind of shadow magic that was hard to defend against.

The first shadow burning spell hurt Li De badly.

You know, Li De is the Great Sun Dragon, but the Balrog avoided his body and directly ignited his shadow, and Li De was caught off guard.

Fortunately, Li De subconsciously used holy magic at the first time, but he couldn't completely extinguish it. He changed several holy magics in a row until he took out the holy water that Aqua had made, and finally extinguished the difficult flame.

If Li De hadn't prepared a lot of props early, his body would probably disappear as the shadow burned out.

It can be said that the Balrog's spell was quite sinister.

There are also strange spells such as Dark Abyss, Shadow Lasso, Shadow Thorn, etc., which are completely different from when Gandalf beat this guy in the movie.

Of course, the magic of the Fire Demon is a bit weird and hard to defend, but Li De is not a pushover.

Holy and elemental magic is free to attack it, anyway, Li De's magic power will never run out.

After this battle, Li De can be said to have killed Valaroka with endless magic power.

In fact, Li De did not have a big move that could hurt Valaroka, but the nuclear bomb big move could collapse part of the Misty Mountains if it was not done well.

And this movement is too big. If the task of recovering the magic ring has been completed, Li De might still be unbridled.

But before the task is completed, Li De will not be so arrogant that everyone will pay attention to him.

In addition, it is rare to have a meat target. Li De is reluctant to kill Valaroka without having a good time.

After all, actual combat is the best way to improve strength.

Although it is not as powerful and efficient as in the world of Grimgar, it can also give Li De a lot of different combat insights.

After all, only when you try your best can you know what you have not done enough in the past.

But even without using the ultimate move, the place where Li De and Valarroka fought was also destroyed beyond recognition.

The bumpy ground, crisscrossing gullies, and many collapsed rock walls and caves, like the ruined scene after a natural disaster, surrounded Li De, as if accusing Li De and Valarroka of their atrocities and evil deeds.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a long time, Li De got up and came to Valarroka.

With the sharpness of the Nine Stars Sword, Li De dug out the extinguished Flame Demon Heart of Valarroka.     And this thing is another reason why Li De did not use nuclear explosion magic. After all, once the ultimate move is used, the Flame Demon Heart will most likely be evaporated.

After doing all this, Li De opened his panel.

Name: Li De (Cid Kageno)

Race: Dragon

Bloodline: Sun Dragon

Strength: Lv.7 SSS 1199

Durability: Lv.7 SSS 1199

Skills: Lv.7 I 0

Agility: Lv.7 I 0

Magic: Lv.7 SSS 1199

Magic Control: SSS

Luck: SSS

Spirit: SSS

Swordsman: SS

Magic: [Teleport]

Skill: [Meditation]

Points: 740

After reading the panel, Li De was not surprised that his magic power had not reached the upper limit, but he was a little surprised that his strength and durability had not reached the upper limit.

After all, Li De thought that the power and durability increase given to him by the artificial fantasy beast devil fruit would be within lv.7.

Then this time, his development ability was swordsman, which was not surprising to Li De. After all, when he was in the pirate world, Li De spent a lot of time on kendo.

The upgrade was completed again, which meant that the maximum mana that Li De could use was raised to a higher level, which also meant that the power of Li De's nuclear explosion was improved again.

After turning off the ability index panel, Li De immediately headed towards the east gate.

A few hours later, Li De walked out of Moria and came to the wilderness.

He did not go to Lothlorien like the Fellowship of the Ring, after all, Li De was going to Lonely Mountain, not Mordor.

After taking off, Li De turned back into human form and stepped on the auspicious clouds to head towards Lonely Mountain in the northwest.

A day later, after passing through the Mirkwood, Li De finally saw the town of Long Lake, which was located in the center of Long Lake and shrouded in fog.

The clouds did not descend. After the battle with the Balrog, Li De was now full of confidence.

Although he did not look down on Smaug, Smaug now did not make Li De so cautious.

Speaking of which, Li De still wished that Smaug could be stronger.

After all, as long as Smaug is strong enough, after killing Smaug, Li De can accumulate some of the feats that have been upgraded to Lv.8 in advance.

As for the black arrow, it is there. It is not too late to take it when he really can't beat Smaug.

After changing his mindset, Li De went straight to the lonely mountain.

When he came to the main gate of the kingdom under the mountain, it was blocked by collapsed rubble.

Of course, this little thing can't stop Li De at all.

After a teleportation, Li De came behind the rubble.

The next second, the dwarf corpse that came into view made Li De feel a little uncomfortable.

After shaking his head, Li De walked towards the inside.

Although the situation inside the Kingdom of Erebor under the Mountain is similar to that in Moria, there are no orcs, goblins or Balrogs here, only a fire dragon.

As he walked, Reed, who was admiring the ruins of the Dwarf Kingdom, couldn't help thinking that the dwarves seemed to be the famous victims of disasters in Middle-earth.

Otherwise, there would not be Balrogs occupying Moria and Smaug robbing Erebor.

Of course, Reed would definitely not care about these. He only cares about how amazing the wealth of the dwarves is.

Strolling through the roads crisscrossing over the abyss, Reed had not yet reached the financial report warehouse of the Kingdom under the Mountain, and the sound of rustling broke the silence in the darkness.

Reed knew that this was because Smaug noticed his arrival.

And just as Reed thought, after a few breaths, the figure of a fiery red body appeared on the road ahead.

"Who are you? Why is there the breath of dragons and Balrogs?" Smaug looked at Reed who was walking in and couldn't help but ask with a serious look in his eyes.

"Balrog, are you talking about the guy I killed before?" As he spoke, Li De showed the real body of the Sun Dragon.

"Dragon?" Smaug was a little unsure, because the dragons in Middle-earth are of the Western variety, not of the Eastern variety like Li De.

"I have my eyes on the wealth of the dwarves, but for the sake of being a dragon, as long as you leave Erebor, I will spare your life!" Li De said while swimming slowly.

"Hahahaha, you have your eyes on me, and you want me to leave, why? A big body can't scare me!" For Smaug or the dragon, other things can be discussed, but wealth is the only thing that cannot be discussed even if their own parents come.

"Then fight with your life!" Li De said and shot straight at Smaug.

"You are looking for death!" Seeing Li De rushing over, Smaug began to breathe without any fear.

Bang!

The next second, Smaug was hit in the stomach by Reed, and Smaug sprayed a breath of dragon's breath on Reed's back at close range.

"Idiot, this temperature is not enough for me to take a bath!" With the sound, Reed, who was originally staring at Smaug flying backwards, suddenly turned his head and swam around Smaug quickly.

Then the next second, Reed's body suddenly wrapped around Smaug, and then bit his neck directly.

Ang!

The severe pain made Smaug struggle violently, but it was useless.

Although Reed used the unique trick of death coiling that only the Eastern Dragon Clan would use for the first time in a formal battle, this trick had been practiced by Reed countless times before it was used.

Once he was entangled, there was basically no way to break free.

In addition, Reed's size was more than twice that of Smaug, which made Smaug seem powerless even if he wanted to get rid of it after being entangled by Reed.

Of course, Smaug would not sit idly by.

Whether it was biting with his mouth or scratching with his claws, Smaug used everything he could.

But unfortunately, even if he could break through the defense, it was only limited to the surface of the scales, and it was impossible to cause Li De to be injured enough to make him loosen up.

On the other hand, Smaug himself, after being locked by Li De with his body, was strangled so much that his tongue stuck out a lot.

"Asshole, you damned worm, let me go! Let me go!" Smaug screamed while struggling.

He didn't care at all. Since he had started, Li De didn't plan to stop regardless of life or death.

In other words, Li De was a little unfamiliar with the body structure of the dragon, so that he didn't bite Smaug's trachea, otherwise Smaug would be able to speak at this moment.

But as Li De continued to lock his body, Smaug's bones continued to emit strange phenomena, as if his body was groaning under the heavy burden.

"Damn it! Damn it! Let me go! Let me go!" Feeling the burden on his body, Smaug's attack on Li De became more and more crazy.

Crack!

And in this chaotic and crazy attack, a crisp bone-breaking sound suddenly appeared.

The next second, countless crisp sounds were all over Smaug's body.

Then Smaug, who was still struggling, suddenly stopped, and then his body was twisted by Li De who was still locked.

"Damn... die!" Blood spurted from his mouth. After Smaug said the last word, his eyes lost their light, and his whole body softened.

"Weak chicken, now you know how powerful you are!" Li De let go of his neck and straightened his head. He shook his head and said to Smaug, who had no breath.

Yes, Li De was willing to let Smaug go, not because he was a dragon, but only because Smaug was not strong and fighting would not bring him any benefits, so Li De was willing to let him go.

But unfortunately, the dragon's obsession with shiny things is far greater than life.

So Li De can only kill Smaug.

Of course, with Li De's current strength, it is not difficult to kill Smaug without injury.

But if you want to increase your ability value, you must pay the corresponding effort and price, just like if you want to increase your durability, you must be beaten.

And Smaug's final use value is to increase Li De's ability value, which is why Li De wants to use his body and then entangle him to death.

After releasing Smaug, Li De turned back to human form, and then took out the magic bag from the portable space, and then took out a batch of reagent bottles from the magic bag.

Then with a casual move, the blood that Smaug had sprayed out before flew up from the ground, and the blood in its body also flew out of its mouth.

And this skill of controlling blood is the blood skill that New got after replacing Elizabeth.

Although Reed does not have the same blood, Reed can use the skills that Elizabeth can use, even the blood skills, through the power of the contract.

After all, once the slave contract is signed, it means that everything, including the soul, is Reed's property.

In addition, this slave contract will also affect the subordinate party, making her more obedient than before, and will only consider the master wholeheartedly and dedicate everything to the master.

Of course, these are not the clauses written on the contract, but invisible effects, just like Reed uses the contract to locate and build a chat group.

This is why Reed only focuses on the slave contract.

After all, once the slave contract is signed, it means that there will be no betrayal. Even if Reed does something inconsistent with his usual behavior in the future, the people in the contract will not be surprised.

Because after signing the contract, Reed's will is absolute to them.

After draining Smaug's blood, Li De collected the reagent bottle and Smaug's body.

After all, it was a dragon, and every part of its body was of great value.

Although Li De no longer cared about the body, he could still take it back for Ita to practice with.

After doing all this, Li De went to the treasure house of the kingdom under the mountain.

After a while, the treasure house that dazzled Li De appeared in Li De's sight.

To use an exaggerated description, it can be said that what caught his eye was a golden ocean.

Although it was not even a lake, at most it could only be regarded as a pool of water, but every inch of the pool was filled with gold and gems.

He turned into his original form and rushed into it and swam non-stop, and a strange sense of satisfaction filled Li De's chest.

No wonder the dragon liked the wealth that could be used as a bed, and this sense of satisfaction was no less than the peak of exercise.

And just as Li De rolled around, a special breath caught his attention.

Following the breath, a special gem with white fluorescence appeared in Li De's sight.

Heart of the mountains, Aken Gem!

Li De felt this way at this moment!

After all, this gem is very special, and people can't take their eyes off it at first sight.

Li De dares to guarantee that no woman can refuse this gem.

Give it to Delta!

After picking up the gem and feeling it, Li De immediately made a decision.

However, Li De did not want to give the Aken Gem to Delta, but planned to use the Aken Gem as a fusion for Delta to use.

As for why?

The reason is very simple. Li De felt a different breath from this gem.

Not only is there a strong breath of the earth, but it also has a hint of immortality.

Li De has reason to believe that if this gem is used as a fusion, the benefits after fusion will be quite amazing.

But Li De cannot judge what it will be, but Li De has such a feeling at this moment.

As for why Li De gave it to Delta instead of anyone else, it was mainly because Delta was usually engaged in combat work, and Li De felt that the Arken Gem would definitely improve her strength.

Thinking of this, Li De put the Arken Gem into his personal space.

As for the gold and gems under his body, Li De currently planned to lie on them and enjoy them for a while, anyway, the dwarf expeditionary army was still far away from the Lonely Mountain.

In the following time, Li De did not waste it, but took a good look in the Kingdom under the Mountain.

Then he re-ignited the furnace, smelted the gold ore in the furnace, and cast the golden statue of the King under the Mountain.

After the golden statue was cast, Li De admired it.

In fact, Li De originally planned to use it as a prop for weight training to kill some boring time.

But he didn't expect that the weight of the statue of the King under the Mountain was too exaggerated.

Let's put it this way, Smaug is 141 meters long, and when the golden statue melted into gold water, it was completely submerged.

Not only that, after rushing it out for a distance, it stood up again and ran for a distance before getting out of the range of the boiling gold water.

In other words, the pool in front of the statue in the King's Hall is at least twice the length of Smaug.

Considering that it rushed out for a distance and ran for a distance, it is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that it is 500 meters.

Then the width is at least more than 40 meters, and the depth that can submerge Smaug is at least more than 3 meters, which means that the gold water in this pool alone exceeds the total amount of gold mined in the modern world.

Facing a statue weighing more than 200,000 tons, even if Li De turned into a big sun dragon, it was impossible to lift it.

After all, the power of a dragon is only about 125 tons, which is considered a hundred tons. Even if there is a magic increase, this data cannot exceed ten thousand tons, not to mention the weight of one hundred thousand tons.

The most outrageous thing is that the golden statue of the King under the Mountain is made of a separate material, which means that the gold in the previous treasure house has not been counted.

Adding all of them together, Li De didn't know the exact weight, but he knew that if he took them back to the real world and released them all, it would probably cause the entire world's financial system to collapse.

Of course, Reed certainly wouldn't let go of these riches just because he was looking for reasons.

After all, for Reed, whether to use them or not is one thing, but whether to have them is another.

It took three days for Reed to collect all the gold and gems in the treasure house.

And even so, there was still a lot of silver left in the entire treasure house.

Reed would not take these away, after all, the capacity of the magic bag is not infinite.

After waiting for many days in the lonely mountain, Reed finally ushered in Durin's Day. Feeling the coordinates left on Bilbo Baggins and coming nearby, Reed couldn't help but stretch his waist.

And when the moon rose, an almost inaudible footsteps came into Reed's ears.

"Welcome to you, the thief among the Hobbits, Mr. Bilbo Baggins!" Sitting on a hill of silver coins, Reed looked in the direction of Bilbo Baggins and said.

"Who are you?" Bilbo was very shocked at this moment, because he originally thought he would see a sleeping dragon, but he didn't expect that the person who appeared in front of him would be a bored person.

"You can call me Sid!" Reed answered slowly.

"Then Sir Sid, how long have you been here?" Bilbo continued to ask while looking around.

"You are asking where Smaug is, and the Arkenstone you are looking for is not in your sight." Reed said with a faint smile.

"Uh, I'm not looking for the Arkenstone." Bilbo argued.

"Well, it doesn't matter to me whether it exists or not. What matters is that I have to thank you!" Reed said with a smile.

"Thank me? Why?" Bilbo looked at Reed in surprise.

"Because you brought me the One Ring!" Reed looked at Bilbo and said.

As soon as he heard the name of the One Ring, even if Bilbo didn't know the name of the ring in his hand, he realized at the first time that the One Ring Reed was talking about was the treasure in his pocket.

Subconsciously reaching out, Bilbo wanted to hold the ring in his hand, but as soon as he moved his hand, he found that his whole body was controlled by some force and could not move at all.

"Why is it my treasure!"

Before Bilbo finished asking why he couldn't move, he saw the Supreme Ring fly out of his pocket and flew straight to Reed who was waving.

Then Bilbo felt inexplicably angry, and then he roared irrationally.

"Tsk tsk, the Supreme Ring tempts people's hearts. How long have you got it? You are so out of control. This ring is really terrible!" Reed looked at the Supreme Ring floating in front of him and couldn't help saying.

"Uh..." After the anger, Bilbo came back to his senses, and then looked at the Supreme Ring in front of Reed in some astonishment.

Although the desire in his eyes did not diminish, the vigilance that was not there before also emerged.

"It's better not to let this kind of thing stay in Middle-earth!" After saying that, Reed grabbed the Supreme Ring in front of him.

The next second, the Supreme Ring in Reed's hand began to struggle violently.

For a moment, even Bilbo, who was some distance away from Reed, heard the whispers coming from the void.

But unlike the previous tempting sounds that were sometimes there and sometimes not, the sounds at this moment were extremely strong.

Damn, I knew that there would be something wrong with collecting this Supreme Ring.

Reed only held the Supreme Ring while concentrating his mind and resisting the temptation from the demon world with all his heart and soul. He even didn't care about Bilbo who was not far away.

Two breaths later, Reed suddenly felt a small force piercing his chest.

Without opening his eyes, Reed knew that it must be Bilbo who stabbed him with the Stinging Sword.

Ignoring this weakling who couldn't break the defense, Reed didn't dare to be distracted at all. After all, the tempting sound emitted by the ring was something that even Reed didn't dare to be careless about.

After another two breaths, with Reed's hands suddenly empty, the extremely strong temptation sound finally stopped.

[The mission has been completed, and 100 points have been obtained. ]

[Please click [Yes] to return to the anchor world. If you do not return, the maximum number of days you can stay in the current world is 360 days. The new mission has been refreshed. ]

"So, you want to cut me one more time?" Without looking at the panel, Li De looked at Bilbo who was holding a knife in front of him and sneered.

"No...I'm sorry, I don't know what happened just now." Bilbo, who heard this, quickly threw away the Stinging Sword in his hand and said.

"Forget it. Since you brought the One Ring with you, I won't bother with you. Then remember to tell Thorin Oakenshield that I killed Smaug here and the Balrog in the mines of Moria. I have avenged the dwarves, so it is unreasonable not to have no reward.

The vast wealth in Erebor, except for the silver I despise, and the rest, including the Arkenstone, are all my rewards. Of course, since I have taken the money, I allow him to claim that he hired me to avenge the dwarves with the huge wealth of Erebor, so that's it!" After saying that, Li De clicked on [Yes] and disappeared in the world of Middle-earth.

To be honest, Li De didn't need to say that before leaving, but Li De rarely came to Middle-earth, so he always wanted to leave something.

Even if the legend about himself was bound to the dwarves, Li De didn't care. After all, if it wasn't bound, why would others sing for you?

As for whether it is a good name or a bad name, Li De feels that at most he is labeled as greedy, that's all.

For dragons, greed is not a problem, not being greedy is a problem. At least Li De took money to do things, which is much better than Smaug, the robber.

It's a pity that Li De didn't know that after he left Middle-earth, the rumors about him were like this: the powerful Balrog Terminator, the Dragon Slayer, the despicable Supreme Ring Stealer, and the greedy wizard Cid who hides his head and shows his tail.

There is only one reason why these titles don't match. The former title affirms Li De's achievements, while the latter is that the major forces want to use this derogatory and ironic title to force Li De, who is not in Middle-earth, out. After all, the Supreme Ring is too sensitive.

Since Bilbo Baggins let the Supreme Ring slip in front of Thorin Oakenshield, Li De's name is destined to spread throughout the entire Middle-earth.

Of course, even if Li De knew about all this, he would just laugh it off after returning to the real world.

After all, he didn't expect to leave a good reputation.
