Chapter 104: The Lord of the Rings Quest (11.6K chapter, please subscribe)
After the environment changed, the fragrance of green grass had already entered Li De's nostrils before he could see the surrounding environment clearly.

The earthy fragrance is so refreshing that it makes people feel relaxed.

As the lush green scenery came into view, Li De had a clear view of the surrounding environment.

This is the Shire! It's also the home of the West End Baggins family.

As for why Reed was so sure, it was because he saw a Hobbit carrying a bag and running wildly in a certain direction.

Bilbo Baggins!

So this isn’t the plot that opens up The Lord of the Rings, it’s the plot that opens up The Hobbit!
After confirming this, Li De couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

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

After determining the time node, Li De's brain started working rapidly.

After all, in his opinion, the opening of The Hobbit was much friendlier to him than the opening of The Lord of the Rings.

You know, at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring alone represented multiple forces. In addition, Reed had no idea what the situation was like in Lonely Mountain at that time.

In addition, Sauron, who had already fled back to Mordor, was much more powerful during the Lord of the Rings period than during the Hobbit period.

During the Hobbit era, the situation in 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, holding the One Ring, also appeared during this period. In other words, as long as Bilbo Baggins waited in Lonely Mountain, he would come to him with the One Ring.

Even though the wealth in Lonely Mountain can only be obtained after defeating Smaug, 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 if it was a hand-to-hand fight, it would be a heavyweight against a lightweight. Reed was even confident that he could wrap up Smaug and bite him to death.

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

After all, a sharp enough black arrow can pierce Smaug's scales. With such a deadly weapon in hand, even if there is no gap in Smaug's left chest, Reed can use his own strength to create a new gap, and then insert the black arrow into its chest cavity.

Of course, this is just Li De’s backup measure, and it is still unknown whether it will be used.

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

After 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 out for Moria alone.

It is true that Reed's destination is Lonely Mountain, but he can choose to pass through Moria when crossing the Misty Mountains.

And since we have chosen to pass by, we naturally cannot let go of the fire demon in the mines of Moria.

It’s not that Li De has a grudge against the Balrog, nor is it that Li De likes the dwarves and wants to help them get revenge. After all, Li De has no good feelings towards the stubborn and old-fashioned race like the dwarves.

The reason why Li De wanted to deal with the Fire Demon was because he felt that this guy should not be weak. If he could kill it, it might be beneficial for him to accumulate great achievements and upgrade his level.

You should know that since the mission in the pirate world was completed, Li De has already raised his ability value to the peak of Lv.6.

The main reason why I couldn't upgrade to Lv.7 was that I didn't have enough great deeds.

However, no matter in the real world or in the world of Pirates of the Caribbean that he experienced later, there was no one who could be regarded as Reed's opponent.

This is also why after seeing the Misty Mountains passing by, Reed didn't even think about flying over there, but chose to go to the Moria Mines for a walk.

Half a day later, Li De, walking on auspicious clouds, arrived at the west gate of Moria.

Although Reed could no longer remember how to open the hidden portal set up by the dwarves, this did not pose any problem for Reed at all.

After all, Reed's teleportation magic is not just for show. Although there is powerful magic on the dwarf's door, it is only limited to that one door.

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

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

Of course, Li De arrived relatively early. If it was the Guardian of the Ring team that arrived, they would probably see corpses everywhere as soon as they came in, and the feeling would definitely be worse.

What came into view was a deep, dark mine tunnel with no end in sight. It was only because Li De's vision was different from that of humans, otherwise it would have been a big problem to just find the direction in the darkness that was almost pitch dark.

Following the mine tunnel into Moria at a leisurely pace, Reed was truly shocked by the ruins of the underground city left behind by the dwarves.

The building was so majestic and exquisite that if Li De had not seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that it was built by dwarves.

As he walked forward and admired the scenery, although Reed had never been to Moria, he would not get lost here.

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

In addition, there are still a large number of goblins and orcs in Moria. Relying on his sensing of the breath of life, Reed can also find the right direction.

In order to adjust his pre-war status, Li De was not in a hurry to travel.

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

It would take the Fellowship of the Ring four days to pass through the Mines of Moria, so if Reed took his time, it would only take two days at most.

This is assuming a good rest, otherwise it will be even faster.

About half a day after entering Moria, Reed felt a powerful magical aura.

The magical aura gave Li De a dark and evil feeling. Needless to say, he knew who the owner of this aura was.

However, when Li De felt this breath, his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Because he could feel the power of the Fire Demon!
But for Li De, it’s good enough if he is not so powerful that he is intimidating.

After all, if you are too strong, you cannot defeat them at all so there is no point in challenging them, and the same is true if you are too weak and cannot accumulate great achievements.

It seems that what Li De is feeling now is very good. He can finally let go and have a good fight.

If his abilities had not been raised to the limit in the pirate world, Li De would not have had to wait until now. After all, there is no shortage of people in the pirate world who can fight with Li De.

After replenishing food and adjusting his condition, three hours later, Li De directly revealed the true form of the Great Sun Dragon.

hold head high! ! !
A long dragon roar then came out of Li De's mouth.

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

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

The next second, a pillar of orange fire was sprayed out by Reed after the first ugly orc appeared.

"Dragon Breath!"

"It's a dragon!"

The orc who was rushing in the front only had time to shout this before he was engulfed in the orange flames.

"Giant dragon? How could it be a giant dragon?!"

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

"Damn, where did this dragon come from?"

"Has Smaug escaped from the Lonely Mountain?"

The orcs who were frightened by the dragon's breath and fled in panic shouted loudly.

"Damn bugs, if you're not dead, get away from me. Now it's time for the great Lord Sid to fight against the stinking fire demon. You bugs have no right to get close." Li De couldn't help but shout loudly.

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

After all, dragons, like fire demons, are not beings that they can afford to provoke.

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

After saying this, Li De swam towards the location of the Fire Demon.

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

It was several dozen meters tall, surrounded by burning flames and emitting a strong and pungent smell of sulfur.

The huge inverted horns are matched with yellow eyes that seem to be burning flames, and flames that occasionally burst out of the nostrils.

At least in Reed's opinion, that really fits his impression of the devil.

"Damned worm, you disturbed the hibernation of the great Lord Valarokka, you will pay for it with blood. I will pull out your bones." Before Li De spoke, the fire demon roared first.

However, before he could finish his long and boring set words, he was interrupted by Li De.

Unlike before, this time when Li De took a deep breath, he spewed out a pale column of fire with a hint of red inside.

Bang!
The next second, the pale pillar of fire directly hit the fire demon who was still talking out of anger.

While Valarocca was hit, he took two steps back due to the force, and the shadow on his chest spread out.

A slightly burnt smell entered the nostrils of Li De and Yan Mo.

This time Valarocca stopped talking, but looked at Li De with some shock, who had just breathed at him not far away.

You got burned?!
As a fire demon, I was actually burned? !

When did the world become so crazy?

I am the fallen Maia, a subordinate of Morgoth, the embodiment of fire and disaster, the Balrog.

While Valarroca was looking at Reed, Reed was also looking at Valarroca.

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

After all, this pale fire requires me to expend some strength to spray out.

Unexpectedly, the damage caused 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 burning Ace.

But the gap between imagination and reality is extremely huge. It seems that I have been fooled by that old villain Oda.

"Damn worm!" Just as Li De was sighing, Valarroka had already raised the flaming whip and lashed at Li De.

"You stinking garbage, who are you looking down on?" The dragon claws turned black, and Li De grabbed the flaming whip and pulled it viciously.

The next second, Valarroca was forced to take half a step forward by Reed's power.

What a powerful force!
Both Valarocca and Li De were very surprised.

Valarroka was surprised that Reed could actually take half a step forward by pulling the flaming whip, while Reed was surprised that Valarroka only took half a step forward.

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

After being surprised, Li De couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Because it is obvious that Valarocca's strength is definitely beyond his own, not to mention his physique.

This means that the opponent's actual level should be higher than yours, so this challenge becomes meaningful.

Letting go of the flaming whip, Li De began to shrink his body.

Then, in Valarokka's eyes, the half-dragon transformation was completed.

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

You can also turn into an orc!

Are there such magical creatures in Middle-earth?
Valarocca had no way of thinking further when he came to this point, because Reed had already shot over and punched him hard in the lower abdomen.

After a dull bang, sparks flew everywhere, and then Valarocca was knocked back several steps by Reed's punch.

Looking at his dark fist, and then at Valarocca who had taken a few steps forward and stabilized his body, Li De felt his fighting spirit rising.

"Go to hell!" After dispersing the flaming whip condensed in his hand, Valarocca, feeling the pain, took a few steps back, half-crouched, and pointed the curved horns at Li De.

The next moment, the flames behind Valarroka suddenly gushed out violently. The powerful flames brought a huge thrust to Valarroka, allowing Valarroka's body to cross a distance of hundreds of meters in an instant.

Boom!

After a loud bang spread far away in the Moria Mine, a figure flew backwards several hundred meters and then crashed heavily into the solid rock wall.

"That's powerful!" Li De, who was trapped in the rock wall, couldn't help but shout.

Reed was sure that he could dodge Valarocca's attack just now. After all, although its move was fast, the prelude was too obvious.

With Li De's perception of observation, even if this move has been used, he can dodge it.

But Li De did not dodge, but went straight forward with his dark iron fist.

Then Reed's fist collided violently with Valarroca's horn head.

Although Reed was knocked out as expected, Valarroca did not gain much advantage.

After all, although Reed was not as strong as it, his fist was quite strong and it still hit Valarocca's head.

After the punch, Valarocca couldn't help but shake his head, feeling a little dizzy, after knocking Reed away.

Bang!
Li De broke free from the rock wall and jumped to the ground not far from Valarokka again with the sound.

Although it looks like a confrontation between father and son, with a height of more than ten meters against Valaroca which is several dozen meters tall, Li De at this moment is much more flexible than the dragon form of more than three hundred meters.

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

"Go to hell!" Seeing Li De appear in front of him unharmed, Valarocca shouted while flames spewed out of his nostrils.

Then the arm burning with flames blasted towards Li De.

Taking a half step back and slightly tilting his body, Li De dodged Valarocca's punch with extreme evasion.

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

It was not until the pain came that Valarroca heard Li De say two words in a disdainful tone: "So slow!"

"I want you to die!" The stimulated Valarocca lost his mind in an instant. He condensed a flaming sword and slashed at Li De like crazy.

"Then let's give it a try!" Li De immediately drew out the Nine Stars and went forward.

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

I can't kill you!

As the fierce close combat began, angry roars were heard from the depths of Moria from time to time.

As for the shaking that seemed to be about to collapse Moria, it has never stopped since the war began.

The orcs and goblins who originally wanted to wait and see, after feeling this doomsday-like breath, let alone get close, they just wished their parents had given them two more legs so they couldn'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 full days, the flames of the Fire Demon's Heart, which seemed to never be extinguished, were finally extinguished due to excessive consumption.

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

This was the first time he had fought for so long.

I have to say that the Fire Demon Valarroka is really tough.

No matter whether he punched, kicked, or stabbed it with a knife, the most Li De could do was hurt it.

As for causing harm, don't even think about it until Valaroca's own magic power drops to a certain level.

What Li De didn't expect the most was that this fire demon who looked like he had recklessness written all over his face actually knew magic.

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

The first shadow burning spell caused Li De great pain.

You have to know that Li De is the Great Sun Dragon, but the Flame Demon avoided his body and directly ignited his shadow, and Li De was caught off guard.

Fortunately, Li De subconsciously used the holy magic at the first moment, but he was unable to completely extinguish the flame. He changed several holy magics in a row, until he took out the holy water made by Aqua, and finally put out the troublesome flame.

If Li De had not prepared a lot of props early on, his body would most likely have disappeared as the shadow burned out.

It can be said that the magic used by the Fire Demon is extremely vicious.

There are also some weird spells like Dark Abyss, Shadow Lasso, Shadow Thorn, etc. They are completely different from when Gandalf fought this guy in the movie.

Of course, the Fire Demon’s spells are so strange that they are hard to guard against, but Li De is no pushover.

Holy and elemental magic can be cast on it without any cost. Anyway, Reed's magic power will never be exhausted.

After this battle, it can be said that Li De relied on his endless magic power to kill Valarocca.

In fact, it’s not that Reed doesn’t have a big move that can hurt Valarroka, but if the nuclear bomb move is not handled properly, it is possible that part of the Misty Mountains will be destroyed.

This would be a huge commotion. If the task of recovering the ring had been completed, Reed might have gone even further.

But before the mission is completed, Li De will not be so arrogant as to let everyone pay attention to him.

Besides, it was a rare opportunity to have a meat target, and Li De would be reluctant to kill Valarocca without enjoying himself.

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

Although it does not have the powerful efficiency in the Grimgar world, it can also give Li De many different combat insights.

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

However, even without using the ultimate move, the place where Reed and Valarroca fought was destroyed beyond recognition.

The bumpy ground, criss-crossing gullies, and many collapsed rock walls and caves surrounded Reed like the dilapidated scene after a natural disaster, as if accusing Reed and Valarroka of their atrocities and evil deeds.

After sitting on the ground and resting for a while, Li De stood up and came to Valarroca.

With the sharpness of the Nine-Star Sword, Li De dug out the extinguished Flame Demon Heart of Valarok. This thing was another reason why Li De did not use nuclear explosion magic. After all, once the ultimate move was used, the Flame Demon Heart would most likely be evaporated.

After doing all this, Li De opened his panel.

Name: Reed (Sid Kagenor)
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 Power: Lv.7 SSS 1199
Magic Control: SSS
Lucky: SSS
Spirit: SSS
Swordsman: SS
Magic: [Teleport]

Skill: [Meditation]

Points: 740
After looking at the panel, Li De was not surprised that the magic power had not reached the upper limit, but he was a little surprised that the strength and endurance had not reached the upper limit either.

After all, Li De thought that the artificial mythical beast devil fruit would give him a power and durability increase within lv.7.

Then this time the development ability is swordsman, which is 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 magic power that Li De could use was increased to another level, which also meant that the power of Li De's nuclear explosion move was increased again.

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

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

He did not head towards Lothlorien like the Fellowship of the Ring. After all, Reed was going to Lonely Mountain, not Mordor.

After taking off, Li De changed back into human form, and then stepped on the auspicious clouds and headed towards Lonely Mountain in the northwest.

A day later, after passing through the dark forest, Li De finally saw Changhu Town, located in the center of Changhu Lake, shrouded in fog.

There was no cloud descending. After the great battle with the Flame Demon, Li De was now full of confidence.

Although he didn't look down on Smaug, Smaug now didn't make Reed so cautious.

Speaking of which, Reed even wished Smaug could be a little stronger.

After all, as long as Smaug is strong enough, after killing Smaug, Reed can accumulate some of his achievements upgraded to Lv.8 in advance.

As for the black arrow, it's just there. It won't be too late to take it when you really can't defeat Smaug.

After changing his mindset, Li De went straight to Gushan.

When we arrived at the main gate of the kingdom at the foot of the mountain, it was blocked by collapsed rubble.

Of course, this little bit of stuff couldn't stop Li De at all.

After a teleportation, Li De arrived behind the rubble.

The next second, the dwarf's corpse that came into his sight made Li De feel very uncomfortable.

After shaking his head, Li De walked 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 and admired the ruins of the Dwarf Kingdom, Reed couldn't help thinking that the Dwarves seemed to be the famous victims of disasters and misfortunes in Middle-earth.

Otherwise, the Balrog would not have occupied Moria and Smaug would not have seized Erebor.

Of course, Li De would definitely not care about these. At the moment, he only cares about how amazing the dwarves' wealth is.

Walking through the roads crisscrossing above the abyss, Li De had not yet reached the financial report vault of the kingdom at the foot of the mountain when a rustling sound broke the silence in the darkness.

Reed knew that Smaug had noticed his arrival.

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

"Who are you? Why do you have the aura of a dragon and a balrog?" Smaug asked with a serious look as he looked at Reed who was walking in.

"Flame Demon, are you talking about the guy I killed before?" As he spoke, Li De revealed the true form of the Sun Dragon.

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

"I have my eyes on the dwarves' wealth, but as we are both dragons, I will spare your life as long as you leave Erebor!" Li De said as he swam slowly.

"Hahahaha, you like me and you want me to leave. Why? Your big size can't scare me!" For Smaug or the dragon, everything else can be negotiated except wealth. Even his biological parents cannot be negotiated.

"Then let's fight to the death!" After saying this, Reed shot straight at Smaug.

"You're 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 on Reed's back at close range.

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

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

Aww!

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

Although this was the first time that Li De used the unique move of Death Coil, which was only used by the Eastern Dragon Clan, in a formal battle, Li De had practiced this move countless times before using it.

Once you are entangled by him, there is basically no way to break free.

In addition, Reed's size is more than twice that of Smaug, so after Smaug was entangled by Reed, he seemed powerless even if he wanted to break free.

Of course, Smaug would not sit idly by and wait for death.

Whether it was biting with his mouth or grabbing with his claws, Smaug used whatever he could.

But unfortunately, even if it could indeed break the defense, it would only be limited to the surface of the scales and would not cause Li De any injuries that would hurt enough to make him relax.

On the other hand, Smaug himself, after being constantly locked by Reed with his body, his tongue was stretched out a lot.

"You bastard, you damn worm, let me go! Let me go!" Smaug shouted while struggling.

He ignored him completely. Since he had started, Li De had no intention of stopping regardless of life or death.

In other words, Reed was not familiar with the dragon's body structure, so he did not bite Smaug's trachea. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Smaug to speak at this moment.

But as Reed continued to tighten his body, Smaug's bones continued to emit strange signs, as if the 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 attacks on Reed became more and more crazy.

Click!

And in this chaotic and crazy attack, a crisp sound of bone breaking suddenly occurred.

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

Then Smaug, who was still struggling, suddenly stopped, and his body was twisted by Reed who was still holding him tightly.

"Damn...die!" With blood spurting out of his mouth, Smaug said the last word. The light in his eyes disappeared and his whole body went limp.

"Weakling, now you know how powerful I am!" Reed released his bite on Smaug's neck, straightened his head, and after shaking his head, he said to Smaug, who was already dead.

Yes, Reed was willing to let Smaug go, not because he was a fellow dragon, but simply because Smaug was not strong and the battle would not bring him any benefits, so Reed was willing to let him go.

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

So Reed had no choice but to kill Smaug.

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

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

The final value of Smaug is to increase Reed's ability points, which is why Reed wants to use his real body and then entangle him to death.

After letting go of Smaug, Reed changed back into human form, then took out a magic bag from his personal space, and then took out a batch of reagent bottles from the magic bag.

Then with a casual move of his hand, the blood that Smaug had previously sprayed flew up from the ground, and the blood in its body also continued to fly out of its mouth.

This skill of controlling blood is the blood skill that New obtained after replacing Elizabeth.

Although Reed does not have the same bloodline as Elizabeth, Reed can use all the skills that Elizabeth can use, even if they are bloodline skills, through the power of the contract.

After all, once the slave contract is signed, it means that everything, including the soul, belongs to Li De.

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

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

This is also the reason why Li De only focused on the slave contract.

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

Because after signing the contract, Li De's will became absolute to them.

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

It is a giant dragon after all, and every part of its body is of great value.

Although Li De is no longer interested in its physical condition, he can still take it back for Ita to practice on.

After doing all this, Li Decai headed towards the treasure house of the kingdom at the foot of the mountain.

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

To use an exaggerated description, one can say that what meets the eye is a golden ocean.

Although it's not actually a lake and can only be considered a pond at best, every inch of the pond is filled with gold and gems.

He transformed into his original form and rushed into it, swimming non-stop. A strange sense of satisfaction filled Li De's chest.

No wonder the dragon likes the wealth that can be used as a bed. The satisfaction it feels is no less than the peak of exercise.

Just as Li De was rolling around, a special smell caught his attention.

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

The heart of the mountains, the Arkon Gem!
Li De had this feeling at the moment!
After all, this gem is very special and people can't take their eyes off it once they see it.

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, Reed did not intend to give the Arken Gem to Delta, but rather to use the Arken Gem as a fusion for Delta to use.

As for why?
The reason is simple. Li De felt a different aura from this gem.

Not only does it have a strong earthy scent, it also carries a hint of immortality.

Li De had reason to believe that if this gem was used as a fusion object, the benefits obtained after the fusion would be quite amazing.

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

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

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

As for the gold and gems under his body, Reed is planning to lie on them and enjoy them for a while. Anyway, the dwarf expeditionary force is still far away from Lonely Mountain.

Li De did not waste the following time, but instead took a good look around the kingdom at the foot of the mountain.

Then he reignited 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 began to admire it.

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

But I didn't expect that the weight of the statue of the King Under the Mountain was a bit too exaggerated.

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

Not only that, after it was rushed out for a distance, it stood up again and ran for a distance before it escaped from 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 I rushed out for a distance and ran for a distance, it is definitely not an exaggeration to say 500 meters.

The width is at least 40 meters, and the depth is at least 3 meters, enough to submerge Smaug. This means that the golden water in this pool alone exceeds the total amount of gold mined in the modern world.

Faced with a statue weighing more than 200,000 tons, it was impossible for Li De to lift it even if he transformed into the form of a Sun Dragon.

After all, the power of a dragon is only about 125 tons, which is considered to be in the hundreds of tons level. Even with the increase of magic power, 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 treasury before is not 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, Li De would definitely not let go of these riches just because he was looking for reasons.

After all, for Li De, whether to use it or not is one thing, but whether it exists or not is another.

It took Li De three days to collect all the gold and gems in the treasure house.

Even so, a considerable amount of silver was still left in the entire treasury.

Li De didn't take these away. After all, the capacity of the magic bag was not infinite.

After waiting for who knows how many days in the Lonely Mountain, Reed finally ushered in Durin's Day. Feeling the coordinates left on Bilbo Baggins' body and coming nearby, Reed couldn't help but stretch himself.

And when the moon rose, an almost inaudible sound of footsteps reached Li De's ears.

"Welcome, the thief among the Hobbits, Sir Bilbo Baggins!" Sitting on a hill of silver coins, Reed looked in the direction of Bilbo Baggins and spoke.

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

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

"How long have you been here, Sir Sid?" Bilbo continued to ask as he looked around.

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

"Well, I'm not looking for the Arkenstone," Bilbo said cunningly.

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

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

"Because you brought me the One Ring!" Reed said to Bilbo.

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

Bilbo subconsciously stretched out his hand and wanted to grasp the ring in his hand. Unfortunately, as soon as he moved his hand, he found that his whole body was controlled by some force and he could not move at all.

"How come that's my baby!"

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

Then Bilbo felt an inexplicable rage, and then he roared irrationally.

"Tsk tsk, the Supreme Ring is so tempting. It's only been how long since you got it, and you've lost your composure like this. This ring is really terrifying!" Li De couldn't help but say as he looked at the Supreme Ring floating in front of him.

"Uh... I..." After his anger, Bilbo came to his senses and looked at the One Ring in front of Reed in some surprise.

Although the desire in his eyes remained unchanged, a vigilance that was not there before also emerged.

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

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

For a moment, even Bilbo, who was some distance away from Reed, could hear the whisper coming from the void.

But unlike the vague voice of temptation in the past, the voice at this moment carried extremely strong syllables.

Damn, I knew there would be some trouble when collecting this Supreme Ring.

Reed just held on to the One Ring while concentrating his mind and resisting the temptation from the demon world with all his heart and soul. He didn't even bother to restrain Bilbo who was not far away.

After two breaths, Li De suddenly felt a small force piercing his chest.

Without opening his eyes, Reed knew that it must have been Bilbo who stabbed him with the Sting sword.

Ignoring this weakling whose defense could not be broken, Li De did not dare to distract at all. After all, the tempting sound emitted by the magic ring was something that even Li De could not dare to be careless about.

After another two breaths, with Li De's hands suddenly feeling empty, the extremely strong sound of temptation 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 task has been refreshed. ]

"So, you want to hit me one more time?" Without looking at the panel, Reed couldn't help but sneered as he looked at Bilbo who was holding a knife in front of him.

"No... I'm sorry, I don't know what happened just now." Bilbo said as he quickly threw away the Sting sword in his hand.

"Forget it. Since you brought the One Ring with you, I won't bother with you. And 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 reward you.

The vast wealth in Erebor, except for the silver that I despise, the rest, including the Arken stones, will be my reward. Of course, since I have taken the money, I allow him to declare to the outside world that I was hired with the vast wealth of Erebor to avenge the dwarves, so be 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 those words before leaving, but Li De rarely came to Middle-earth, so he always wanted to leave something behind.

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

As for whether it would be a good name or a bad reputation, Li De felt that at most he would be labeled as greedy, and that was all.

For dragons, greed is not a problem. Not being greedy is a problem. At least Reed did the job for money, which is much better than Smaug, the bandit.

It's a pity that Reed 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 stealer of the One Ring, the greedy wizard Sid who was hiding his true colors.

This title does not make sense for one reason. The former title affirms Reed's achievements, while the latter is an attempt by major forces to use this derogatory and ironic title to force out Reed, who is not in Middle-earth. After all, the One Ring is too sensitive.

Ever since Bilbo Baggins let slip the secret of the One Ring in front of Thorin Oakenshield, the name of Reed was destined to spread throughout Middle-earth.

Of course, for Li De, who has already returned to the real world, even if he knew all this, he would just laugh it off.

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