The night is dark.
In Changhu Town, thick smoke billowed and flames shot into the sky.
The dragon Smaug is dead.
The source of terror hovering over the heads of the residents of Changhu Town finally disappeared.
The residents were less anxious to flee in fear.
Fortunately, all the houses and buildings in Changhu Town are built on the water.
Even if the entire Changhu Town has been burned into a sea of fire, as long as you stay on the waterway, you are still safe.
The death threat hanging overhead is gone for the time being.
The order of the residents who were squeezed into the main waterway quickly improved a lot.
One ferry after another quickly rowed out of Changhu Town.
The once crowded waterway became empty as fast as you could see.
As the residents fled one after another, the houses in the town that were ignited by the flames of the dragon's breath began to gradually burn to the end.
A large number of sticks and pieces of wood were burning, and even the entire room was burned and collapsed into the long lake below.
The temperature of the long lake, which was originally full of ice floes and was cold, also increased a lot.
Especially in the central water area of Changhu Town, which is surrounded by fire.
In front of a house that collapsed badly but was not ignited by the flames.
On the slightly rippled water, suddenly, a head popped out of the water.
The figure with his head exposed immediately swam towards the pier on the shore.
Soon, he swam to the shore and climbed up to the small pier. The soaked figure slumped on the pier with his back leaning on the wooden pile. He panted and took out a package of pork jerky and adult food from the silver space ring in his hand. Liquor in palm-sized iron bottles.
The figure chewing dried meat and drinking strong wine at this time is naturally Morgan.
More than an hour ago.
He and Bard teamed up to kill the dragon Smaug with black arrows.
Then, Morgan, who escaped by jumping off the bell tower in time, found the place where Smaug fell into the water under the instructions of others.
Then, Morgan began his more than an hour-long hard work of removing the dragon's hair, no, the dragon's scales.
"Gulu..."
After chewing a large amount of pork and swallowing it dry, Morgan picked up the iron jug and took a big gulp.
Feeling the spicy liquor entering his throat and stomach, Morgan's spirit was shaken.
The cold body that had been soaked in the lake for a long time also warmed up a bit.
The dried meat and spirits were given to the expedition team by Mayor Changhu yesterday.
There was no one else around at this time, so Morgan used the dimensional space ring without paying attention.
He ate most of the package of dried meat in one go and drank an iron bottle of strong liquor.
Morgan finally felt fuller and more comfortable.
Looking at the silver space ring on his left hand.
Morgan reached for a hint of spirit.
The originally empty ring space has changed drastically.
The length, width and height of the entire ring space should be about five meters, and the overall space is equivalent to the size of a room.
At this time, a corner of the space was filled with a large amount of gold, silver and gems of various colors.
On top of the treasure was a brilliant star necklace set with the finest white stones.
In another adjacent corner, there is a cross sword, two longbows looted from the weapons depot in Changhu Town, and two to three hundred arrows that can fill ten quivers.
In the third corner, there are piles of hard, dark red scales about the size of a palm, which can make a dull sound like steel when tapped with your hands.
This is the result of more than an hour of Morgan's hard work getting into the cold water of the long lake.
There were probably more than two hundred pieces in total, and Morgan took them out of Smaug's huge corpse with a knife while holding his breath in the water. Some of them were still covered with blood.
However, these palm-sized scales are not all over Smaug's body.
The growth only occurred in Smaug's most important and most vulnerable part of the abdomen.
As for other places, the scales growing on Smaug's back, tail, wings, neck and other places are not only smaller than the scales on the abdomen by half or more, but also occupy all the positions of Smaug's huge body except the abdomen.
But Morgan has no intention of taking off those scales.
Because it is difficult to operate in the dark under deep water, and because the scales are smaller and more difficult to remove.
In comparison, these larger scales on Smaug's abdomen are significantly more valuable and easier to remove.
No matter how hard Morgan worked, he was determined to remove all those scales.
He had only now removed about half of the scales on Smaug's abdomen with his dagger.
After the other half was finished, he estimated that the number of scales should be four to five hundred.
In addition to these scales, Morgan has not yet been able to remove anything else from Smaug.
Hey, let’s talk about this.
Morgan was very unhappy.
If Smaug had fallen on land, Morgan would have dismembered the body and nothing would be wasted.
Now I have fallen to the bottom of Changhu Town, which is five to six meters deep.
Morgan is powerless.
In the water, dragon blood is definitely not something to think about.
Dragon scales, he could only remove the dragon scales from the abdomen of Smaug's body.
As for the dragon whip, I heard that the giant dragon whip is hidden under the abdomen.
He had been groping in the dark for a while but couldn't find it.
But Morgan didn't give up. He planned to look for it later after prying off the dragon scales.
As for dragon meat, this is relatively simple.
Morgan prepared to cut off one of Smaug's back legs.
No matter how much it was, even if Morgan could cut it off, there would be no place to put it.
The spirit exits the ring space.
Morgan put away the remaining dried meat, picked up the iron flagon, and drank the last sip of strong liquor.
Look up to the east.
The eastern sky began to glow with a hint of hazy white clouds.
Dawn is not far away.
I have to speed up.
Withdrawing his gaze, Morgan stood up, patted his face, and jumped into the water again.
Swim to the previous location, then get into the water and dive down.
Working under a long lake five to six meters deep is very hard and dangerous.
It's night now, and it's completely dark underwater.
Morgan pried the scales off Smaug's body almost entirely by groping.
Fortunately, now that his mind has been strengthened, his five senses have become much stronger.
Otherwise, we would not dare to easily get into the bottom of the lake late at night.
Who knows if there are any other ferocious creatures growing in the Long Lake in a world like this.
Morgan was also a little lucky.
Smaug's body fell into the shallow water area where the residents of Long Lake Town lived.
If it falls into the deep water outside.
At least a hundred meters, or even hundreds of meters deep at the bottom of the lake.
Morgan can only hold his breath for about ten minutes at most.
Morgan could only look at the lake and sigh.
Although he didn't know how deep the deep water of Chang Lake was.
But due to the huge scale of Long Lake (from the entrance of the lake in Woodland Kingdom to Long Lake Town, Bader Ferry takes a day), and its long history of existence.
Morgan estimates that the depth of the center of the lake is at least a few hundred meters.
Two hours later.
When the sky becomes bright in the east.
The fire in the surrounding Changhu Town also gradually subsided.
Morgan emerged from the water again.
After swimming as hard as he could to the small pier on the shore, Morgan lay down on the dirty wooden boards of the cold pier and panted to rest.
He is too tired.
In one breath, all the scales under Smaug's abdomen were removed.
Then I looked for the dragon whip for a while.
It's just that Smaug didn't know if he didn't hang it or if he hid it too deeply.
In short, Morgan's idea of tasting dragon whip fell through.
He failed to find Smaug's whip.
Finally, when he cut off the flesh, that is, when he cut off one of Smaug's small hind legs.
It must have been attracted by the blood scattered everywhere.
He was attacked by several huge and ferocious fish.
Fortunately, Morgan has a special skill called "Psychic Shock".
Use "psychic shock" to drive away the ferocious fish.
Morgan then accelerated to cut Smaug's hind legs.
Even one of Smaug's relatively small hind legs is as big as Morgan's entire body.
Use the elf sword to cut off Smaug's hind legs and put them back into the dimensional ring space.
Morgan's mental strength finally ran out again.
Originally, he had thought of knocking off some of Smaug's teeth and playing with them.
But his mental strength was so low that he did not dare to stay underwater for fear of being attacked by other creatures at the bottom of the lake.
Then he hurriedly got out of the water and swam ashore.
But even so.
Morgan also had a good harvest this time.
In addition to the gains mentioned above.
He also removed the black arrow that had shot into Smaug's belly.
There are also the two longest barbs on Smaug's huge and ferocious head.
"call..."
Taking a long breath, Morgan sat up suddenly.
Two half-meter-long dark red sharp horns immediately appeared in his hand.
The texture is rough and heavy to hold.
These are the two on Smaug's head. Maybe they will be used to make daggers in the future.
He had already thought of a name, so he called it "Dragon Bone Dagger".
It was already dawn.
Morgan put away the dark red pointed horns, stood up and looked around.
At this time, all the open fires in Changhu Town were almost extinguished, leaving only the blackened remains of various objects emitting green smoke.
Changhu Town, which was originally lined with houses, was all burned down overnight, and the sight immediately became empty.
Morgan could see a large crowd gathering at the edge of the lake closest to the wreckage.
Needless to say, that must be the refugee from Changhu Town who survived last night.
He turned and took one last look at the water where Smaug was.
Morgan is ready to leave.
The most valuable things on the evil dragon Smaug were taken away by him.
He is not going to continue wasting time here.
at this time.
"Morgan..."
A voice suddenly came from behind.
Morgan turned his head and saw a man standing on a small boat in the distance behind him, holding a paddle and looking over here.
If not Bud, who is it?
"Hey Bud..."
Morgan immediately reached out and greeted.
Sure enough, he was able to avoid Smaug's out-of-control impact last night.
Bud can do the same.
Watching Bud paddling the boat slowly approaching.
Morgan smiled and said, "I'm so happy to see you. I knew you were fine last night."
Bud shook his head: "Morgan, I'm not very happy to see you. I've been looking for you all night. Where have you been hiding?"
"I won't let you look for it in vain. Here, I'll give you something."
Morgan said indifferently, and as he spoke, he reached out and took out the huge dark and slender steel arrow hidden on the side: the black arrow.
As soon as he saw the black arrow, Bard's eyes immediately lit up.
At this time, the boat docked, and Bard immediately jumped out of the boat, took the black arrow and asked Morgan quickly: "Are you looking for Smaug?"
"where is it?"
Morgan turned around, pointed to the calm lake not far behind him and said, "There, it's down there."
Bard looked in the direction of Morgan's finger. At this time, except for the surviving houses on the side that were not burned, there were traces of Smaug's fall, and nothing could be seen on the water.
Seeing that Bud had no intention of entering the water, Morgan said, "Why don't you go down and take a look, it's not very deep."
Bard shook his head: "Smaug is dead. I only need the black arrow. There is no need to go down."
"Let's go."
Bud said, walking toward the boat.
Morgan nodded and said nothing.
Also, the Black Arrow is the most important to Bard because it has special significance.
Now that the Black Arrow had been fished out and handed over to him, it seemed that Smaug really didn't need it.
Bud's thoughts are much more pure than his own.
Morgan didn't care either, he was different from Bud.
Picking up a huge package, Morgan followed him onto the boat.
The package contained a small amount of dragon scales and a large piece of dragon meat.
Morgan had just temporarily gotten it out of the ring space when Bud rowed over to pick him up.
He planned to ask Bud and his three children to try it.
There is no Bard after all.
It was difficult for Morgan to deal with Smaug alone.
Even with black arrows.
This was his deep feeling after facing the evil dragon Smaug last night.
What's more, Bud's three children still call him uncle.
The two of them rowed the boat towards the crowd gathered on the long lake in the distance.
It was bright and bright.
The morning fog has not cleared yet.
The boat rowed by Morgan and Bud finally docked.
It's just that we have just experienced a disaster like the dragon's rampage.
The atmosphere on the shore was solemn.
There were capsized boats everywhere along the water, various furniture and clothing, and bodies everywhere.
Someone was rummaging around looking for corpses;
Someone was holding the corpse and crying;
Someone yelled looking for relatives;
At this time, all the surviving people on the shore of Changhu Town were enveloped in deep sadness.
The three brothers, Barn Snow Song and Tilda, were searching everywhere on the shore, shouting everywhere.
"dad..."
"dad..."
"dad..."
Tilda looked worried and looked at her brother beside her and asked: "Barn, why do you think we can't find dad..."
Baan immediately turned his head and comforted his sister and said, "Don't worry, Dad will be fine."
Just when the three brothers and sisters were searching for their father by the lake.
Morgan and Bud had already disembarked from the boat and were walking towards the shore.
Looking at the tragic situation by the lake, neither of them spoke.
at this time.
A fierce quarrel suddenly came from the front.
The two of them looked up and saw not far ahead.
The despicable clerk Alfred, who was dressed in pitch black from head to toe and looked like a raven, was currently having sex with a middle-aged woman.
Just as Morgan was about to say something, he saw Bud beside him striding over with an angry look on his face.
Morgan quickly followed.
The clerk and the middle-aged woman had a heated argument.
Seeing that Alfred was about to take action.
Bud took the lead and grabbed Alfred's hand and shook it aside.
Morgan came up at this time.
He's not as good-tempered as Bud.
He walked straight up to the clerk and slapped him with his hand.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap sounded immediately.
Morgan slapped Alfred directly to the ground.
The quarrel between the former secretary and the middle-aged woman had already attracted the attention of many people around.
At this time, with the addition of Morgan and Bud, the movement was so loud that it immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby.
In the crowd, an old man looked at Bud and Morgan, his eyes widened immediately, and he shouted excitedly: "It's them!"
"It was Bard and him who killed the dragon!"
"I saw it with my own eyes!"
"I also remembered that it was the two of them..."
"The two of them stood on the bell tower, and I saw them kill the dragon with my own eyes!"
"I saw it too, it was Bud, and him!"
"Does anyone know what his name is?"
"His name seems to be Morgan, I heard from Bud's youngest daughter."
"..."
Listening to the excited cheers of the surrounding Changhu Town residents.
Morgan sighed in his heart: "I was finally recognized, and my identity as the dragon slayer is confirmed..."
