Chapter 250 Conflict between Dwarves and Elves
Swoosh!
An arrow suddenly shot out from the woods, but the target was not Aaron, but the wand in his hand.
Hearing the sound of breaking through the air, Aaron's body reacted instantly, dodging sideways while grabbing the arrow with his left hand.
"Who?" Aaron looked at the direction from which the arrow came and asked coldly.
The person in the dark did not come out, but shot the second arrow.
"I gave you face, right!"
Aaron was furious, and he switched his left hand to his right hand and threw the arrow in his hand.
The two arrows collided in mid-air, making a clanging sound. The arrow that Aaron threw out with his strength was shot in half and fell on his left and right sides respectively.
Looking at the arrow that fell less than a few meters in front of him, Aaron couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
Master, this is definitely a master.
Now the enemy is in the dark and I am in the light, the situation is quite unfavorable to him.
Legolas was also secretly surprised that a wizard could actually block the arrow he shot, and in this way.
"Who are you? What is your purpose here?"
The voice came from all directions, making it impossible to tell the location of the owner of the voice.
"I'm just passing by." Aaron smiled awkwardly, "I swear in the name of the Gaius family, I have absolutely no other purpose."
"Gaius?" Legolas frowned slightly, "I don't think I have ever heard of this surname."
"Nobody, not worth mentioning."
"Humph! Nobody can kill more than 20 spiders by himself."
"Luck, pure luck.
To be honest with you, this is the first time I use this magic, and I didn't expect it to succeed." Aaron said seriously, his expression revealed two words: honesty.
Legolas didn't believe a word of this rhetoric. If it was an ordinary spell, it could be explained by luck, but it was a super high-level spell, and it couldn't be explained by luck no matter how you look at it.
"Well, I have something else to do. Goodbye."
After saying this, Aaron ran away without looking back.
Just kidding, the other party's questioning tone can fully show that he is the native of Mirkwood. A strong dragon does not suppress a local snake. It is not wise to offend an elf in the elf's territory.
In addition, the other party's fearless attitude seems to be sure to suppress him, a wizard who killed more than 20 spiders.
In this case, it is of course the best strategy to run away. If it is too late, there will be no chance to run.
"Legolas." A female elf asked, "Do you want to chase?"
"No, Tariel." Legolas smiled slightly, picked up an arrow and shot it out.
The trajectory of the arrow was a parabola, which landed just one meter in front of Aaron.
Legolas quickly shot three more arrows, which were lined up with the first arrow, with almost no error in the interval.
Aaron's eyes twitched slightly, and he was amused by the roadblock in front of him.
"What does this mean? A demonstration?"
"I'm just telling you what the consequences will be if you run forward. If you're not afraid, you can continue."
Aaron patted his forehead, "If you have the guts, come out. What kind of hero are you if you hide and hide?"
"As you wish."
Legolas jumped down from the tree and aimed an arrow at Aaron, "Wizard, what are you doing here?"
"I'm really just passing by." Aaron said tiredly. No one believes the truth these days. Most people only believe what they want to believe.
"Really? Where are you going?" Legolas sneered, "Elves can't be fooled by lies."
"Sorry, I can't tell you this." Aaron said.
"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?"
"You definitely dare, but you won't.
After all, I'm only thirteen, no, it's been half a year, I'm fourteen.
Ahem, elves won't kill a fourteen-year-old child."
"It doesn't seem difficult for wizards to change their appearance." Legolas said and pulled the bowstring.
Hearing this, Aaron was completely numb.
No wonder Flo said before setting off that he had to hide his identity as a wizard. It turned out that it was really inconvenient to be exposed.
"But I'm really just a child. You believe me!"
Legolas was unmoved. He couldn't believe that a teenager's magic and combat power would be so exaggerated.
"Huh!"
Aaron took a deep breath, "I don't want to offend the elves. Let me leave here, and everyone will pretend that nothing happened, okay?"
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then there's nothing I can do." Aaron slowly raised his wand, "Guess, is my spell faster or your arrow faster?"
Legolas smiled slightly and shot an arrow decisively.
"Expelliarmus."
Legolas took a few steps back, and the bow in his hand was shot down, but the arrow he shot also knocked Aaron's wand away.
The two came to their senses and their bodies reacted instinctively.
They all gave up their weapons on the ground and switched to close combat.
Legolas was agile, and Aaron was not much behind, but the experience accumulated by the elves over a long period of time allowed Legolas to gradually gain the upper hand.
After more than a dozen rounds, Legolas pulled out an arrow from his back and pointed it at Aaron's neck.
"Don't move, we can talk now.
Who are you? Where are you from? What is your purpose here?"
"Please look carefully before asking these questions." Aaron smiled meaningfully.
Legolas paused for a moment, slowly lowered his head, and a white magic wand was against his abdomen.
"Do you have a second wand?"
"I'm insecure and like to be prepared." Aaron shrugged, "How about it? Do you want to try again to see whether your arrow is faster or my spell is faster."
Legolas' face darkened, and then he sneered, "Do you think you won?"
"Of course not, but sometimes not losing is winning." Aaron said, "It's not a good idea for us to be in a stalemate like this. How about I count one, two, three and let go at the same time."
"Okay."
"One, two, three..."
Legolas let go of the arrow in his hand, but Aaron didn't let go of the wand.
"Humph!" Legolas snorted disdainfully, as if he had expected this, "cunning human."
Aaron smiled and put away the wand.
Be a villain first and a gentleman later. It's never too careful before you can't be sure of the enemy's character.
"I'm sorry, I apologize to you." Aaron said politely, "I was judging you by my own standards, but I hope you can understand. After all, I won't hand over my life to a stranger."
Legolas raised his eyebrows unexpectedly. Now he was basically sure that the wizard was not a bad guy, because bad guys would never miss the opportunity just now.
"You, are you really just passing by?"
"It couldn't be more true. I just wanted to pass through this dense forest. I definitely didn't mean to disturb the elves."
Legolas nodded thoughtfully, "I trust you for the time being. Do you need me to send someone to take you out?"
"No need." Aaron blurted out.
If he was alone, it would be a blessing, but the problem was that there were thirteen dwarves and a hobbit.
Hobbits were easy to say, but the elves here didn't have a good impression of dwarves. Once they met, it would be a thunderbolt. He couldn't explain it even if he had another mouth.
"Why?"
"Because of what?" Aaron's brain was working fast, and he said righteously: "This is my own journey, I don't need help from others."
Hearing this, Legolas suddenly had some appreciation for this wizard, "My name is Legolas, what's your name?"
"Gaius, Aaron Gaius.
Besides, I'm really only fourteen years old."
"Don't joke, okay?"
"No way, the fun of genius is so... plain and boring."
Legolas opened his mouth and pretended to be him.
"Okay! Have a good trip."
Aaron breathed a sigh of relief, it was really not easy to get rid of this elf.
However, at this moment, a noisy sound came from not far away, and other members of the expedition rushed over shouting his name.
Aaron:......
Gift crab! Can you die if you come one or two minutes later?
"Dwarf." Legolas's face changed, and he looked at Aaron with more suspicion, "You seem to have something you didn't tell me."
"That... I can explain."
Legolas chuckled, turned over and picked up the bow and arrow on the ground.
Aaron didn't have time to think about it, and decisively picked up the first wand.
"Elf." Thorin approached and looked at Legolas coldly, and directly pulled out the beast bite sword.
Others also took out their weapons vigilantly, and a battle seemed inevitable.
"Calm down, you must be calm, don't do it!" Aaron said anxiously, "Thorin, there is no need to be so nervous, put away the sword."
"You ask him to put away the bow and arrow first."
"Impossible." Legolas said, "Don't think I won't kill you, dwarf, I'm happy to accompany you."
"Heh! How many arrows do you have? Are they enough to kill us?" Thorin said contemptuously.
Legolas waved his hand, and more than 20 elves jumped out from all directions, surrounded them, and then the sound of pulling the bowstrings rang out one after another.
"That should be enough now." Legolas smiled, "What do you think?"
"I can explain." Aaron said weakly.
"Of course, but we have to change the place, what do you think?"
Aaron shook his head speechlessly and silently put the two wands on the ground, "Put down your weapons! The situation is stronger than people, so we have to bow our heads."
The dwarves were naturally reluctant, but looking at the arrows around them, they had no choice but to do it.
"Search."
The elves confiscated all the weapons and supplies of the expedition team. As for other things, they didn't care. This made Bilbo lucky to keep his ring, although the sword was not saved.
"Lord Legolas, this is an ancient elven sword." An elf handed the beast bite sword to Legolas.
"This sword comes from Gondolin, forged by the Noldor." Legolas turned his head and looked at Thorin, "Where did you get it from?"
"It was given to me by someone else."
"Not only a thief, but also a liar."
"What he said is true." Aaron said sincerely, "I saw King Elrond hand him the Beast Bite Sword with my own eyes."
"King Elrond?" Legolas was stunned for a moment, "What's the proof?"
"My weapon." Aaron pointed to his elven weapon, "This was given to me by Lind of Rivendell, who was King Elrond's confidant.
Originally, there was also a set of bows and arrows, but I used them all up.
If you don't believe it, you can send someone to Rivendell to verify it. If they are not there, you can also go to Queen Galadriel. I have met her once."
Legolas frowned, "Take them down first."
The expedition finally found the way, but sadly they were escorted and were caught several times along the way.
Unlike Rivendell, the palace of the Wood Elves was built in the dense forest. The interior was composed of huge trees and rocks that crisscrossed each other. It was a little dark, but it was still magnificent.
Fifteen people were imprisoned in separate cells. Aaron and Bilbo were imprisoned together, while the dwarves were imprisoned in a single cell.
"This is unfair. Why are they in a single cell?" Aaron was dissatisfied with the discrimination of the elves.
"There are not enough cells. Are you satisfied with this reason?" Legolas asked.
"Satisfied, what can I say?"
"You'd better think about what to say for a while. My father should meet you.
You are not dwarves. For the sake of King Elrond and Queen Galadriel, if your explanation can satisfy the king or your attitude is better, you may be exempted from prison."
"Really?"
"Fake." Thorin poured a basin of cold water directly, "These elves are not trustworthy. They will not keep their promises."
Legolas snorted coldly. He didn't care what the dwarves thought, but he was still convinced by his father.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The cell doors were closed one by one. When it was Kili's turn, he smiled at the female elf Tariel and said, "Aren't you going to search me? I might have something hidden in my pants."
"Maybe there's nothing." Tariel looked at him deeply and closed the cell.
"Why is that dwarf staring at you, Tariel?" Legolas asked.
"Who knows? He's quite tall among dwarves, what do you think?"
"Taller than average, but just as ugly." Legolas glared at Kili and turned away.
After all the elves left, Aaron looked at Qili meaningfully and teased, "Brother, you have a good vision! But you are a little overconfident."
"What do you mean?" "Take my advice and change your target." Aaron sighed, "Although I admire your spirit of daring to compete with the prince for a woman, your chance is really slim.
In terms of family background, ability, appearance, and personality, Legolas simply beats you completely."
"How old are you? What does a fourteen-year-old child know?" Qili said unconvinced, "My mother said that the miracle of love has nothing to do with those things."
Aaron blinked, then gave him a thumbs up, "You have a great mother."
"You two, is this the time to talk about this?" Bilbo said anxiously, "We are prisoners now, shouldn't we think about how to escape?"
"That's right." Dwalin slammed the door hard, and Fili, Oyin and others followed suit, but the prison door did not shake at all.
"It's useless." The oldest Balin said, "This is not a dungeon built by Oak, this is the palace of the King of the Woodland. No one can get out without the King's consent.
But fortunately we have this opportunity. There are treasures that the King of the Woodland desires in the Lonely Mountain. To some extent, we have a certain initiative."
