Chapter 81 New Material
[Achievement: Next Generation]
After Smaug was confirmed dead, a fiery red egg suddenly fell into Levi's backpack.
[Dragon Egg] "Place near lava to hatch."
Pulling out the sword stuck in the dragon's jaw, Levi exhaled, announcing the end of the battle.
The sword shines brighter and brighter, killing the dragon without getting bloodstained.
Bard walked out of the cave and stared blankly at the dragon's corpse.
"The rumors have been confirmed. Your ancestors were indeed great human warriors. From now on, your family will be proud of you, Archer Bard."
Thorin emerged from another cave entrance and greeted the human archer.
Then, from the end of the secret passage, the dwarves ran down cheering.
“Ahahaha!!”
"It's dead!"
The dwarves circled around the dragon corpse, and Kili was so excited that he kicked it hard. Unfortunately, he failed to move the dragon corpse at all. Instead, he stood there with his teeth bared, and did not move for several seconds.
"What's wrong with you? Your legs seem to be shaking. Is your injury not healed yet?" Philip, who came over later, asked kindly.
"It's okay. I'm just happy."
Thorin gathered all the dwarves together and shouted: "The dragon is dead, and the great revenge is achieved!"
"From today on, Erebor will once again be ruled by Durin's clan!"
After cheering heartily, the dwarves finally calmed down a little and discussed future matters.
"Our primary goal now is to find the Arkenstone and summon reinforcements."
"I'm afraid the only one who can come here in the short term is Dain."
"Levi, how many people do you think Oak has?"
"Not counting the wargs, there are more than 20,000 of them, and there are quite a few ogres among them, and they are ogres that are not afraid of sunlight. I guess they may be Ologs bred by the Great Enemy."
Hearing this, the dwarves' faces gradually became solemn, and their previous joy was swept away.
"What do you mean an army of more than 20,000?"
"What are you talking about?"
Bard was confused. What orcs and wargs? How come he had never heard of them before?
"He says that an Orc host numbering tens of thousands is approaching Erebor. They are heading north from Dol Guldur in Mirkwood and the mines of Moria. They may arrive in a few days."
Hearing Thorin's words, Bard quickly simulated the Orcs' marching route in his mind.
"Won't that mean we'll pass through Changhu Town?!"
He was a little panicked.
How can we resist an army of tens of thousands of Orcs? You have to know that there are not many regular soldiers in Long Lake Town. The only ones with combat capability are the guards responsible for maintaining daily law and order.
Normally, it's OK to deal with the harassment of scattered Orc groups, but the army... "I want to go back immediately."
Bud turned and was about to leave.
Whether it was a dragon, treasure, or the king's promise, none of these were important to Bard. He cared more about Long Lake Town.
"Erebor offers you refuge if you need it."
Thorin called out from behind.
Bud stopped, looked back at him, and replied, "I know."
Then, in the blink of an eye, the dragon corpse was turned over and disappeared.
"Without further delay, we must go and look for the Arkenstone now."
Thorin continued to assign tasks to the dwarves.
"This dragon—"
He touched Smaug's body and looked at Levi.
Levi had been staring at the dragon corpse since the beginning, as if he was thinking about something, which made Thorin a little unsure.
"Levi, do you need it?"
"Well, some of the material here is very useful to me."
"Then it's all up to you. You deserve it."
"And this doesn't count towards that one-fifteenth."
After saying that, Thorin nodded at Levi and followed the dwarves to the treasure house.
Only Bilbo and Levi were left at the scene.
Bilbo didn't know what the Orc Army was, nor did he know how much treasure he would get. The Hobbit only knew that the dragon in front of him was a little scary and amazing.
He stared at the dragon for a long time, hesitated for a while before speaking: "Levi, can I, um...I mean, can I take a piece of the scale as a souvenir?"
"Of course, Bilbo, this dragon has plenty of scales."
"Thank you. Well, you know, I plan to write some stories when I go back. I think this thing can be used as a specimen and put in my storybook, just like I did before. I like to collect some leaves and flowers, and sometimes plant them in the yard..."
After getting the scale, Bilbo hid it in his pocket, chatted with Levi for a while, and then followed Thorin to the cellar to look for gems.
Levi began to collect materials from the dragon.
Dragon blood, dragon bones, dragon meat, fire dragon scales, fire dragon heart...
This dragon was so huge, and the amount of loot it dropped after its death was so great that Levi had to combine it into a box to store it here.
After obtaining these materials, the synthesis table was also updated, which included the production method of dragon scale armor, dragon series tools, and the forging method of "Dragon Flame Steel".
This material called Dragonfire Steel is extremely powerful. The armor made from it is much stronger than Nether Alloy, and weapons made from it are also stronger than the ancient elven sword in his hand. But unfortunately, Levi does not have the conditions to make Dragonfire Steel now.
Because its production requires the dragon fire of a fire dragon, and Smaug, the last fire dragon in the world, had just been killed by Levi.
Fortunately, a fire dragon egg exploded after its death. Everything will be fine once the dragon egg hatches.
After collecting all the materials, Levi also found some unexpected drops.
【Wing membrane】
"Unlocked the synthesis of 'Elytra'."
In the original version of Minecraft, elytra cannot be synthesized and can only be found in ships that randomly refresh above the End Islands. However, the materials dropped by dragons seem to make up for this deficiency.
[Achievement: The sky is the limit]
take off!
This time we can really take off.
After gathering all the materials, Levi put on his elytra and tried them out in the spacious hall. The gliding feeling was quite smooth.
As long as your hand speed is fast enough, you will never have to worry about falling to death. As for the fireworks that can provide power to the elytra for flying, this thing has Erebor's gunpowder storage, at least it is enough for Levi to use alone, so he can fly freely.
"Time to go check on Thorin."
After collecting all the dropped items, Levi went out through the secret passage and went all the way to the smelter according to the location he remembered.
"If I remember correctly, going through the door here and going down is..."
While looking for the way, suddenly, when passing by the huge steel furnace built by the dwarves, a hint appeared before my eyes.
[Added "Erebor (Lonely Mountain)" series synthesis]
[Added Erebor series multi-block structures]
Huge high-temperature steel furnaces, bellows, mineral transmission chains, forging tables, liquid transmission pipelines...
A complete set of dwarven industrial systems was added to the synthesis table, which made Levi a little overwhelmed for a while.
