The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Maybe your friend wants to help the dwarves." Thranduil said to Bud, sitting in his camp, "just like he rescued these dwarves from my prison."

"He not only saved the dwarves, but also the people in Longlake Town." Bud didn't care about the elf king's speculation. "He must understand what is most important. The dwarves will not be hungry because they lose some gold. Die in the lonely mountain, but my people will."

It didn't take long before Bud heard a sound of horseshoes coming from outside the tent. He walked out of the tent and saw Zelin riding through the streets of River Valley City to the square in front of the Chamber. Zelin got off his horse and Bud greeted him immediately.

"You talked with Thorin for so long, how is the situation, what did Thorin say?"

"It worked well." Zelin raised his eyebrows and handed the reins to Bud. "He agreed."

"..." Bud was silent for a while before continuing to ask, "How did you get consent? I thought I heard it wrong."

"I just made Thorin realize that it is not good for him to ruin his reputation." Of course there are some tricks, such as using the Axifa seal to imply Thorin, making him think that gold and Arkansam are only two choices. One. Forcibly twisting the spirit is not so easy for a determined person, but the Arkanbel is Thorin's weakness, and it is also the most suggestive place.

Zelin moved his shoulders. "Tonight, the dwarves will send the first batch of gold and tell the elves that the dwarves think that they have not promised anything to the elves. Redeem it. But he can get the archers who are preparing to fight outside to retreat. At least, the dwarves have given in, and we should avoid war."

In the early morning of tomorrow, Zelin will go to the east. The dwarf legion of the Iron Hills is coming non-stop. Bahrain will go with the demon hunters and stop him before Dyne Ironfoot's army is ready to attack the elven garrison. But this is no longer difficult.

"You did a great job, wizard. You have made peace, and it is more effective than the warnings of my old man."

At this time, Zelin heard an old but vibrant voice. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see an old man in a gray robe and gray hair in the courtyard. The old man's face was filled with a spring breeze but an unpredictable smile.

Upon seeing this, Bud said to Zelin, "He came after you left, and told us a bunch of orc invasion warnings, and asked us to stop immediately and prepare to fight the orcs attack. His Royal Highness Thranduil said he was Wizard, since you are all wizards, then you must know him."

"Yes, archer, I know him, because we are all wizards. Now, the wizard in front of you is more useful than me." The old man lit a pipe, took a sip, and then gave him a light touch in front of him. Spit, a bird turned into smoke flew into the sky from the square of the chamber.

"Since there are two wizards, I don't think River Valley City will have anything to worry about now." Bud rubbed his hands happily. "I'll take the horses to the stables and leave first."

Looking at Bud's departure, the old man looked at Zelin, "We should talk about it, my fellow wizard. I'm Gandalf."

Chapter 748: Gandalf

"How did you make Thorin promise to fulfill his promise?"

A wizard, a spellcaster in another world. Zelin originally thought that he would never see a real wizard in this world. Some people say that they have never seen a real wizard in their entire lives, but Zelin saw the orcs, elves, dwarves and wolves in just a few days when he came to this world, and now he has met a real wizard, he I really don't know if I had good luck or if the goddess of luck was going to tease him.

"Arkham Diamond, with this as a condition, Thorin will promise many things, and he will naturally be willing to exchange those gold for gems."

The wizard walked to a high platform in River Valley City, which was supposed to be part of the decorative garden in the past. There were still broken stone pillars nearby. Standing here just happened to face the gate of the Lonely Mountain not far away.

"Good plan, but dangerous." Gandalf didn't wear a hat, he pinched his waist and looked at the distant mountains.

"But it's better than they fight for the gold." Zelin clasped his chest and leaned against a nearby stone pillar. Perhaps Thorin’s dragon symptom will get better after the gold is divided, or he may get worse after getting the Arken Stone. But this dragon disease doesn’t seem to affect the other dwarves. As long as there are a group of normal people around Thorin, he can’t do anything too dangerous. "If there is nothing else, I’m going to the east, Dain in the Iron Hills. · Tiezu is leading his army, it is best to stop him before he rushes into the camp of the elves in the chariot."

"No, not just to let them lay down their weapons, but to warn them, the real threat is coming." Gandalf shook his head, his tone was eager. "You ask them to temporarily put aside their little grievances against the dwarves, but war cannot be avoided. I bring the most dangerous warning."

"But this is your business, right? You are a wizard, a wise and knowledgeable elder, and they will definitely be willing to listen to your opinion." Zelin raised his eyebrows, thinking that Gandalf would question the fake wizard, or in detail Asking Zelin about a wizard in this world is like when a demon hunter encounters a person who is obviously a fake demon hunter, he will definitely ask which school and which school he came from. But Gandalf did not do so.

"The dwarves are willing to listen to me because I helped Oak Shield and a group of them. The humans are willing to listen to my advice because I helped them deal with the orcs and dragons in Long Lake Town." Zelin shook his head "but the elves and me It doesn't matter. Actually, when I rescued the dwarf from the prison of the elves, Thranduil would not listen to me."

"War is coming, and all the orc army in Dolgurdu will be poured out. People here are in danger of life. But Thranduil is like Thorin, it is difficult for him to let go of the dwarves before the orcs appear in front of him. Prejudice." Gandalf walked to Zelin, his 70-year-old face had a 20-year-old energetic eye, but even so, the energetic gaze could not conceal the wise light in it." Thrandil might not care about you calling yourself a wizard. He knows Misrandil, but he doesn’t doubt my support. You’d better get yourself a blue robe. I think Alatar and Pa Lando wouldn't mind this kind of thing, maybe Saruman would be unhappy, but he is still in Isinger."

"I have seen orcs, they attacked the town of Long Lake."

Gandalf said several names, perhaps all wizards. This is very strange. Gandalf did not ask about a wizard. Instead, he tried to make Zelin’s identity more reasonable. He didn’t know why Gandalf did this. Zelin’s knowledge of wizards was limited to Bill. Bo's words.

"I heard Legolas the Elf said that the orcs had abnormal behaviors. They assembled in the Gundabad Fortress. If it weren't for Thorin's repentance and reluctance to hand over the gold, I would have mounted a horse and headed to Gundabad to investigate. I'm here Long Lake Town has fought with orcs. They are not that powerful. The elves and human forces here are strong enough to fight against them."

"This time is different. After all, the true army of the orcs is coming. After all, they are all fighters. They are all born for war. The enemy has used all their power. All the orcs from the three major northern regions have assembled, and they are heading towards the lonely mountain. Come here."

"But why, at this moment? You should let me know the consequences, Gandalf, otherwise when we go to convince the elves, I guess I can only follow you on the side." If the Dragonborn is there, her good eloquence will definitely be able to To persuade many people, it is a pity that Zelin will be inferior, although being with Gnaiya has taught him a lot of persuasion skills.

"Because we forced it." Gandalf walked towards the end of the round platform, looking at the lonely mountain. "When Thorin Oakshield and his party went to the lonely mountain to take home the garden, they started to move. You met in Long Lake Town. Orcs, that is part of the team sent to intercept the Oak Shield, the weakest part, because when Thorin and I were separated outside the dense forest, Azog the Destroyer also left the hunting team. Because Azog wanted Returning to the fortress and summoning an army to seize Lone Mountain is not only for the treasure in the mountain, but also for its strategic location."

There was still a little snow in the sky, but Gandalf's news was more chilling than this snow.

"This is the key to regaining the northern kingdom of Angmar. The Angmar Witch King, if this evil kingdom is allowed to rise again, Glen, Lorrain, Shire and even Gondor will fall."

Zelin didn't know what Gondor was, what was Lorraine, and he didn't even know how evil this northern kingdom called the Kingdom of Angmar was, but he knew one thing. Once the northern army of orcs occupy the solitary mountain, their army will sweep the world.

"Total war, I don't like this word." The demon hunter shrugged. "So the key to preventing the orcs from sweeping the world is to prevent them from capturing the lone mountain and gaining this strategic position?"

"Yes, the orcs must be stopped, and the owner behind them." Gandalf said with certainty.

"Then let us come." Zelin left from the leaning stone pillar and clapped his hands. "I have seen orcs and know what they will do to people's towns. It's better for this kind of creatures to return to them obediently. Go to your own lair as well."

Before going to the Great Tent of the Elf King with Gandalf, Zelin thought of another thing.

"Gandalf, you want to tell me, how can I make people believe that I am a wizard?" Zelin has always been curious, why he just exploded with a bomb, or something like a trick, can make people here believe that he is a wizard. .

"Can you conjure light and flames?"

"It's easy." Not only light and flame, but the magic seal of the Demon Hunter also allows people to see electric light and frost. It can be thought of as the spellcaster in Skyrim. This light and flame are not enough. "But... only these?"

"That's enough."

Chapter 749: The Magic of Gold

"Wait, Gandalf, I have another question. I hope you can tell me the answer."

When he reached the edge of the chamber square, Zelin suddenly slowed down and stopped Gandalf, who was walking fast.

"What?"

"Don't you suspect that I am a spy or someone with a bad heart?" Zelin spread his hand. This world seems to have great value. Of course, it is not only its beautiful environment, or its higher livability than the place like Los Lik. Sooner or later, he will try to establish contact with this world. In this case, he can meet To a wise and easy-to-talk person like Gandalf, he decided to try to be more direct and learn more about the spellcasters in this world and their thoughts.

"You are a kind person, or a person willing to pay for kindness. The kind person will welcome you." Gandalf seems to be answering a meaningless question. "The orcs will definitely hate you because of what you do. What they do is kind, and this kind of beautiful behavior makes them hate."

The wizard turned and walked towards the big tent of the elf king. "Let’s go, there is not much time. The orcs are approaching the solitary mountain every minute and every second. But be careful, don’t underestimate the evil of gold. The poisonous snakes have been breeding on this pile of gold, and the dragon disease will erode everything. The minds of people close to this mountain. Almost everyone."

Seeing the back of Gandalf walking away, Zelin couldn't help frowning slightly. Then he sighed and followed.

A world that is a little hard to understand. Zelin couldn't help frowning. He had seen the world divided into camps by standpoints, such as two groups of people who supported extinguishing fires and supporting fire spreading; he had seen the world divided into camps by ideas, such as Yanan, China and Israel had different holdings of ancient gods. Schools that study attitudes, or the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar in Rome; also often encounter places where interests are divided into camps. This is the most common, Zelin's own world, and the Civil War in Skyrim. However, this was the first time he saw a world that was simply distinguished by good and evil.

Even Tawsonte, who most resembles a fairy tale world, is not so simple.

But in any case, this means a good start. If this group of people is really the same as Gandalf said, then it will be much easier to deal with them, and the world will have a high degree of acceptance to outsiders.

It is very easy to persuade Bud. He trusts the demon hunters. More importantly, he knows nothing about the orc army mentioned by Gandalf. What he hopes most is to protect the remaining people of River Valley. Besides, Long Lake Town had already encountered an orc invasion. At that time, it was Bud who led the militia to repel the orcs. Not long after this, the archer’s attack on the orcs was still fresh.

But Thranduil was dubious about Gandalf's words. Zelin didn't know how long the elves of this world lived, long, perhaps immortal. The elf king obviously has a clear understanding of the Angmar Kingdom and the Northland Orcs. Because of this, he doubted Gandalf's warning. It is not to doubt the correctness, but to doubt whether there is an exaggeration in his words.

According to him, the wizard is like thunder in the winter wind, rolling in from a distance to break the silence. But sometimes, it's just a storm.

While Thranduil was talking with Gandalf, Badra pulled the sleeve of the Demon Hunter and motioned him to go outside and talk.

"I believe you, wizard, you saved so many townspeople and helped us fight the orcs and dragons. But is there really an army of orcs approaching towards the lonely mountain?" Bud's brows couldn't help but worry. "How many are they? Can we stop them? I don't want the people who survived in Long Lake Town to die in the ruins of River Valley City."

"I don't know the exact number of them, but it is not comparable to the orcs who attacked Long Lake Town that night." In fact, Zelin didn't know how many there were, but as long as Gandalf's words were not exaggerated, it was definitely not these few. The number that can be resisted by a hundred humans "If I only rely on humans, I am worried that even with the help of wizards, the people in Long Lake Town do not know how many people will survive. Our goal is not only to defend the lone mountain, but more importantly. The thing is to protect the people here."
