Magic Journey from Hogwarts

Aaron secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not everyone can restrain himself in the face of huge wealth.
Now that this verbal agreement has been reached, it won't be too ugly if it turns out at that time, and if it doesn't work, just take out your share of the reward.
He doesn't pay much attention to money, one-fifteenth of the treasure should be enough to rebuild this place.
Chapter 259 The Inherited Stubbornness
"Everyone, please listen to me, please be sure to listen to me." Bud looked at everyone anxiously, "Have everyone forgotten what happened to River Valley City? Have you forgotten those who died in the sea of fire?"
The enthusiasm of the townspeople was suddenly poured with cold water, and many people lowered their heads, hesitating in their hearts.
"For what?" Bud looked at Thorin disappointedly, "For the ambition of becoming the king of the Lonely Mountain, he was driven by greed and blinded by his own desire."
"Quiet, quiet, everyone, don't be in a hurry...shirk responsibility." The mayor suddenly interjected, "Everyone, don't forget that Ji Rui'an, the mayor of Changhu Town, who is your ancestor, failed to put the dragon kill."
"Girion is your ancestor?"
Aaron looked at Bard unexpectedly. If this is true, it means that Smaug's left wing may have been shot by the black arrow, and the dragon has a fatal weakness.
Alfred chimed in, "We all know the story, he shot arrow after arrow and missed."
The wind shifted again, and the hesitant townspeople began to lean toward the dwarves' actions.
Bud walked up to Thorin, "You have no right, no right to enter the mountain."
"I'm the only one with the right to go in." Sorin said indifferently, and then looked at the mayor, "May I ask the mayor of Changhu Town, would you like to see the prophecy come true?
Would you like to share in the great wealth of my race? "
A heavy hammer hit the mayor's heart, of course he was willing, who doesn't like money?
"I'll tell you..." the mayor rubbed his hands with a smile, "Welcome.
Welcome, once again, welcome, King of the Mountain. "
Now that the mayor has spoken, the townspeople will naturally not waver, and they all burst into laughter, as if they have seen a bright future beckoning to them.
Bud couldn't dissuade Sorin, nor could he dissuade the townspeople, so he returned to his home helplessly.
The mayor warmly entertained the expedition team and took out all the good wines he had collected. As for weapons, armor, supplies, and food, he also patted his chest to ensure that they would be ready before tomorrow morning.
"Don't you want to live anymore?" Aaron looked seriously at Qili who was sitting alone in the living room, with a trace of oppression in his eyes, "The poison in you is hard to cure, but I am sure to suppress it. boiled.
But the premise is that you have to cultivate well. Before I prepare the antidote, you can't move around, let alone participate in the next action. "
"How long will it take?" Qili asked feebly.
Aaron raised his eyebrows, thinking he had figured it out.
"You're lucky, the orc's poison is weird, but it's too rough and not carefully formulated.
And I happen to be a student of the master of potions, and I can develop an antidote with only ordinary herbs, and the antidote can be detoxified in less than seven days.
But the injury on your leg will take longer to recover because it hasn't been treated in time. "
"I'm asking you how long it will take for the medicine to boil?" Kili said with a wry smile. "This expedition is too important for the dwarves. I must be present when the door opens."
Aaron: …
Your mother was right, you were too reckless.
"Qili, do you really not take your life seriously?"
"Some things are more important than life."
Snapped!
Aaron slapped him directly.
"Why did you hit me?"
"Let you be sober." Aaron said angrily, "If you are really hopeless, I definitely respect your opinion. It is a man's romance to die on the way to the expedition.
But now that you have a chance to live, and I am sure to cure you, you still want to die. Either the toxin has penetrated into the brain, or the brain is flooded. "
"I do not have."
"You have." Aaron tapped him on the head. "I'm the doctor. Besides, we escaped by water. It's normal for a seriously injured person to have his brain flooded."
"But this expedition..."
"Shut up." Aaron took off the black stone hanging from his neck, "Before you want to die, please think about your mother first."
Kili was silent for a moment, "Fili will take good care of her."
"Your uncle." Aaron patted his forehead, "Sorin is your relative! I don't even believe that this stubbornness is in the same line."
"How do you know? He is my uncle."
Aaron: …
Enough is enough, I really have had enough.
Aaron was pulling his hair, distraught and even having the urge to hit someone.
"You want to die, don't you! I'll go find your uncle and brother right away, and I'll see what they think.
If you unanimously agree with your death, then I will die. "
"Don't." Kili grabbed Aaron's arm tightly and begged, "Don't tell them, I beg you."
"Hehe!" Aaron smiled and opened his hands, "Are you teaching me how to do things? Don't let me tell them, I just want to tell them."
A few minutes later, Aaron brought Thorin and Fili to Kili.
"You two, I've done my best to do this.
What happens next is up to you to decide. "
"You've been poisoned." Sorin looked at Kili angrily, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"Uncle." Qili stood up with difficulty, "I must be present when the hall of the fathers opens."
"Kili, I understand you, very much." Thorin helped him into a chair, "but you really can't go now, not only for yourself, but also for the sake of this expedition, you will seriously slow us down .”
"You must stay here." Fili persuaded earnestly, "You have to rest well, detoxify and heal your wounds.
I promise, brother, the first thing we do after we succeed is to take you to Gushan. "
Seeing the resolute attitude of the two, Qili showed a forced smile and nodded regretfully.
Fili stayed to comfort his younger brother, while Sorin pulled Aaron aside, "Gaius, tell me the truth, can you really cure him?"
"Don't worry, I'm [-]% sure." Aaron said relaxedly, "But it's best to send him to Bud's house tomorrow. The mayor's character is completely unbelievable."
"Will he agree?" Thorin asked suspiciously. After all, he just slapped Bud back. It can be said that there is no one in Changhu Town who hates dwarves more than Bud.
Aaron shrugged, "I'll talk him through."
After the dinner, the members of the expedition team were lying on the ground to rest, snoring one after another.
Aaron slowly opened his eyes and tiptoed away.
He came to Bud's house and knocked on the door.
Bud opened the door and saw Aaron, and said coldly, "Take your medicine and leave, you are not welcome at my house."
"Don't be so extravagant!" Aaron laughed, "I'm here this time to ask for your help."
"I don't dare to help you anymore." Bud sneered, and then waved, "Give him the things."
Bahn put the herbs bought by Aaron outside the door, Sigrid put a set of casserole and two bottles of lavender potions in his hands, and the youngest daughter put three gold coins in Aaron's pocket inside.
The meaning is obvious, we have nothing to do with each other.
"Your medicine, casserole, and gold coins are all here, leave now."
Bud was about to close the door as he said that, but Aaron stopped him quickly, "The things prophesied may not turn around."
Hearing this, Bud hesitated for a moment, then said helplessly, "Come in!"
Aaron shrugged and walked into the house. As for the three brothers and sisters, they moved the medicinal materials back.
"What do you want me to do for you?" Bud asked while sitting in a chair.
"Stay at your house for a few days.
Of course it's not just me, but also Qili, if the guy's poison is not understood, he is really not far from death. "
"I agree." Bud nodded hesitantly, then looked at Aaron seriously, "Now tell me how to change the prophecy."
"It can't be changed." Aaron said very bluntly, "If Thorin and the others hadn't killed Smaug in the Lonely Mountain, he would definitely come here."
"Didn't you just say that there is a turning point?" Bain said a little angrily.
"The turning point I'm talking about is only for your family." Aaron spread his hands, "I'm a wizard, and it's not a problem to protect your family with my ability."
"What about the others?" Bud asked eagerly, "What about the residents of the town?"
"Uh...I have to tell you a cruel fact, I can't save everyone." Aaron said very bluntly, "I will draw a defensive magic circle near your house, even if Dragon Burn It cannot be destroyed easily, as long as you hide in the ruins, you can survive."
"There's no way to survive. Winter is coming soon. If Changhu Town is destroyed, we'll starve to death or freeze to death."
The corner of Aaron's eyes twitched, "Can't we change the place?"
"We have nowhere to go, and when we leave this town, we are homeless refugees.
Fleeing in winter, it is estimated that we will die on the way before reaching other towns. "
Aaron: …
Good Nima is pessimistic, but there is truth in the pessimism.
"Hey!" Aaron sighed, and put all the gold coins he found in the Troll's Treasure Cave on the table, "This is all my money, enough for you to collect enough supplies to survive this winter, and in the spring You can also take the whole family to change places to start a new life.”
Bud looked at the bag of gold coins, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Did you make arrangements for our family?"
"Forget it! Your family is worthy of my saving.
As for the others, I won't do anything to save them, but that's within my power. "Aaron said, he is not a saint, he will not desperately save a group of strangers who are blinded by money.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can't let go of the residents here." Bud pushed the gold coin back, "My ancestors failed to kill the dragon, so what right do I have to abandon them and escape alone."
Aaron froze for a moment, then looked at Bud solemnly, and the three brothers and sisters standing firmly behind him.
"Sure enough, I was right." Aaron applauded, "I will guarantee the safety of your family before I kill Smaug, in the name of Gaius.
As for the future, I don't care about it. In short, Sorin has promised to help you rebuild this town. "
"Wait, you mean you're going to kill Smaug?" Bud looked at Aaron seriously, "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Sorin wants to rebuild the dwarven kingdom, but my goal is simply to kill the dragon." Aaron said casually, "Originally there was a gray-robed wizard in our team. , but he is temporarily busy, and I only have a [-]% chance of winning as a wizard.
But your son Baan told me that Smaug was shot through a dragon scale by Ghirien, which is a fatal weakness, counted as [-]%, plus the prophecy, I can make some preparations in Long Lake Town in advance, again [-]%.
It adds up to a [-]% chance of winning, which is enough to fight. "
Chapter 260 The last black arrow
Seeing that Aaron was full of confidence, Bud lowered his head and remained silent for a moment, "In that case, I can help you."
"Come on, how can you help me?
That is a dragon that can destroy heaven and earth, and has only one life, you should protect yourself and your family better..."
In the middle of speaking, Aaron's voice stopped abruptly, because his eyes were deeply attracted by a jet-black arrow the size of a javelin in Bard's hand.
Black Arrow, the arrow that is rumored to be able to pierce dragon armor.
Although he had never seen it, Aaron was quite sure about his guess.
This arrow is made of special material and is very hard and sharp. It is not considered a magic weapon, but it can also be called a sharp weapon.
"It's hidden deep enough! Your ancestor Jirian actually left you such wealth." The corner of Aaron's mouth lightly twitched, "Bud, your archery skills may exist for it."
"There is only this last black arrow left." Bud was inexplicable with emotion, "In other words, we only have one chance, and we must kill it with one blow."
"No." Aaron shook his head inscrutablely, "I am a wizard, and I can create a second, third, or even fourth chance for you.
The original chance of winning is [-]%, but with the addition of a master archer, a wind crossbow, and a black arrow, we have a [-]% chance of winning, and the remaining [-]% will be left to luck! "
"What are you going to do?" Bud asked.
Aaron looked at the arrow tower outside, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "I plan...to find your mayor first."
