Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job

Chapter 254 The Secret Road in Gushan
After the meeting had set the tone, Gandalf hurried away.

The gray-robed wizard, the white-robed wizard Saruman, and the brown-robed wizard Radagast are all members of the White Council. This organization is also called the Holy White Council and is an organization that specializes in dealing with Sauron's shadow.

The dark power of Dol Guldur is becoming more powerful, and there are rumors that there are shadows of the Necromancer and the Witch King of Angmar. The members of the White Council are ready to conduct a thorough investigation of this place, so Gandalf leaves in a hurry.

After the wizard left and everyone obtained a lot of supplies from the Woodland Kingdom, the expedition team was ready to head to Lonely Mountain to find a secret passage into Lonely Mountain.

Although they were prepared that they might have to wait for Durin's Day to open the secret passage, idleness was idleness. Thorin and others were not willing to waste time in vain, nor were they willing to stay in the Woodland Kingdom for too long. They would rather go to Living in the open air in Gushan, he was not willing to stay with the elves.

As a member of the team, Wayne is also planning to go with them. Anyway, he has a magic flying carpet that can fly, which is quite convenient even if he travels between the two places.

But before leaving, he ordered the refugees in Changhu Town to sail to other forces along the Running River, buy materials from them to rebuild their homes, and gave them a lot of money.

This is a long-term investment, and there may not be any return in the short term, but as an immortal demon hunter, his vision is much longer-term than ordinary people.

Although the road to Lonely Mountain was rugged, we did not encounter any enemies along the way. Coupled with Wayne's flying ability, whether it was steep slopes or rugged rocks, it was not too troublesome.

The Woodland Kingdom is not far from Gushan, and it only takes about two or three days to walk. They soon arrived near River Valley City and arrived at the gate of Gushan Kingdom.

Looking at the tightly closed gorgeous door, all the dwarves in the expedition team couldn't help but burst into tears. You and I sang the dwarves' songs one by one, and the lines were full of the sadness of being forced to leave their homes.

However, this was not the final destination of the expedition team. According to the map left by Thorin's father, they spent a few days walking along the rugged path and around half of the isolated mountain before finally finding it on a cliff. The location of the exit of the secret passage indicated in the cipher text.

Unfortunately, it was a huge stone wall with countless holes on it. After searching for a long time, everyone could not find the keyhole. They all became dejected and even talked about packing up and going home.

"Anyway, there are still a few months left. Why not try every keyhole, or simply take the mine manuscript and drill through the door. With your strength, it won't take long, right?"

In fact, seeing this scene, Wayne felt a little bit sick. After all, in the original book, the dwarves just tried for a long time without finding it, then gave up, and even prepared to go back the same way, which made him feel very childish.

No matter whether there is a hint from the secret text or not, as long as the keyhole can be confirmed to be on the stone, even if there are 1 holes in the stone that need to be tested, it will still take a few days.

However, the character of the dwarf in the original work is like this. The thoughts in his head are always strange, which is not surprising.

After receiving Wayne's reminder, Thorin and others were enlightened and immediately became more motivated. They simply set up camp in the open space next to them and began to search for any possible keyholes on the wall where the secret passage was. place, tested one by one.

The result was pretty good. After about three days of testing, they finally found the correct keyhole and opened the secret passage leading to the interior of Gushan.

This was undoubtedly very exciting news, but Wayne stopped Thorin and others who were about to carry out the theft mission immediately, and told them that they must be prepared.

Although the Arkenstone is close at hand, the evil dragon Smaug is also close at hand. If you enter it, you will most likely wake up the evil dragon immediately and lose your life, so you must be prepared.

Originally, Thorin was unwilling to wait any longer. They had waited for hundreds of years, and now that all hope was right in front of them, they really couldn't hold their breath.However, they couldn't bear the tough attitude of Wayne, who played an important role. After some discussion, everyone decided to wait for another week before taking action.

Because he lacked the hidden ability of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, Wayne took out two of the five bottles of invisibility potions he had obtained before and gave them to Bilbo.

Along the way, the hobbit's tenacity and bravery have impressed many people in the team. They regard the short snitch as their companion and hope that he can survive the final mission.

After obtaining Wayne's hidden potion, Bilbo's confidence greatly increased, and he quickly thanked Wayne for his generosity. In the expedition team, both of them were from the Shire, and they had known each other ten years ago. Along the way, he had known each other. This hobbit is very caring, and the two of them have long been very good friends.

In fact, when it comes to preparation, there is not much to prepare. For Thorin and other dwarves, facing the evil dragon Smaug, ordinary weapons and armor are useless, whether it is facing the dragon's bite or its... Fire breath, even if the body is heavily armored, has no effect.

The sword attacks of the dwarves were basically impossible to break through Smaug's dragon scale defense. Therefore, even if Thorin and others entered the palace on the Lonely Mountain, they were just living targets to attract the attention of the evil dragon.

But that was before meeting Wayne.

Now that everyone is a team, Mr. Wayne is not stingy. He gave Thorin and other dwarves two North Wind bombs each as a means of attack.

Perhaps Smaug's defense is strong enough, and ordinary honeycomb bombs can only scratch this evil dragon, but the North Wind Bomb, which can create strong frost, can definitely affect this fire dragon.

Not only that, Wayne also arranged the Deathclaw Robin to the gate of the Lonely Mountain Palace, on the only way Smaug broke through the gate and flew away from the Lonely Mountain in the original work.

After all, the Death Claw cannot enter the interior of the Lonely Mountain through the narrow secret door, and even if it enters the interior, with its size, it will not have much advantage in fighting Smaug. Instead, it will become the main target of the flame breath.

As for Wayne himself, he took off his blood-red heavy dragon scale armor and replaced it with green dragon leather armor that was lighter and suitable for dexterous combat.

In the week before the battle preparations, he drove the flying carpet and told King Thranduil of the Woodland Kingdom that they had found the secret passage and were about to start the official battle, so that the Silvan elves could prepare accordingly. .

And on the day of the agreed-upon battle, Wayne checked all the combat props that might be needed, as if he were executing a powerful demon hunting commission, drank six bottles of demon hunter potions that enhance body functions, and then Carrying the Sword of Promise of Victory, together with Bilbo, they entered the palace inside the Lonely Mountain through the secret passage at the back door of the Lonely Mountain.

Before leaving, he patted Thorin on the shoulder and said sincerely:

"Thorin, if things go well, then you won't need to take action in the battle later."

"However, I hope you can be mentally prepared. You are about to see the treasure of Gushan, and your wish for many years is about to be fulfilled."

"Your decision affects the fate of many people. Don't let everyone down."
