People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 123 The World Is Big, Smaug
"Submit?"

Smaug couldn't help but widen his eyes, and the golden irises lit up a little with anger.

"Surrender?! Ha!" The mithril rope on its body creaked even louder, showing its fury: "Human beings like ants, how dare you say such words?"

"I am the great Smaug! I am the embodiment of fire and death!"

"I am born above all living beings, I am nobler than any living beings!"

"Even if I die, even if I die completely, I will never surrender to a despicable person like you!"

Smaug's violent reaction was expected by Townsend.

Thinking about it from another angle, like a princess who is suddenly asked to be his slave by a beggar, I'm afraid she will also feel absurd and furious.

But if the princess is in trouble and the beggar is strong, anger is probably of no use.

Tang Sen did the same thing. A mithril stabbing sword appeared in his hand. Shi Shiran walked up to Smaug without saying a word. He just found the gap in the scale which was bigger than a human head, and slowly thrust the stab The sword pierced through.

"What are you going to do!" Smaug felt something was wrong, this damned human wouldn't really plan to kill himself, would he?

"How dare you! How dare you!!"

He roared angrily, like a princess who was about to be molested but was tied up and unable to resist.

But the beggar didn't say a word, just continued his actions.

The sharp stabbing sword was slowly inserted into the dragon's skin. In fact, even though Tang Sen tried his best, he could only insert it slowly.

Its skin is not as indestructible as scales, but it is much stronger than trolls and the like.

The golden-red dragon's blood overflowed from the wound. Tang Sen randomly found a golden vase from the side, placed it below, and muttered to himself, "Dragon's blood is a good thing, don't let it go to waste."

"Shalin, do you want to try the taste of dragon's blood? I heard that dragon's blood can strengthen the body and make the body harder."

Sha Lin shook his head again and again: "Dwarves don't know how to drink blood!"

Sharda was a little moved, and looked into the vase with her head probed.

Smaug: "."

A group of people had already started discussing the treatment of their own blood, which made him feel a little nervous.

In his long life, it has never been in such a situation. Even if it is dead, it would rather have a good time than lie alive and be judged like meat on a chopping board.

"Butcher! You butcher!"

He couldn't help roaring: "If you have the ability, stab me to death with a sword!"

Tang Sen raised his head and looked at Smaug, and said with a smile, "Sorry, your skin is a bit thick, you know, I'm weak, I can't kill you with a single sword."

"Don't worry, wait for me to take my time, I will dig out a hole first, expose your heart, and find a way to take it out."

He narrowed his eyes and smiled sinisterly: "Maybe, you will be the first dragon in Middle-earth to see his own heart before he dies."

Smaug's pupils shrank to the extreme, and he looked at the expression of the human being in front of him like a ghost.

How could he say such cruel words with a smile?
"Stop! I think we can discuss it again!"

Smaug really didn't dare to imagine what kind of torture he would suffer if he let the other party do it for him. He softened his tone and said, "Please make a condition! How about this, I will give half of the wealth of Lonely Mountain How about here?"

"I'm not interested in money." Tang Sen kept moving, pulled out the rapier, and inserted it in from another place: "Besides, these wealth don't belong to you anymore, defeated."

"I'm not defeated! It's because of you, a despicable human being, damn—" It wanted to continue cursing, but when it remembered its own situation, its words stopped abruptly, and after a moment of embarrassing silence, it continued as if nothing had happened: "How about In this way, you let me go, I leave the lonely mountain, and swear in the name of the dragon, I will never come back again!"

"Compared to the oath, death is simpler." Tang Sen said: "The dead dragon is not a threat."

"I've given you the chance. You chose it yourself, Smaug."

Smaug was so furious that he almost lost his mind. He struggled with all his strength, and his roar shook the entire Erebor Hall: "Don't think that you can make me surrender with this little trick! You are delusional!"

"I'm not afraid of pain at all! Your sword is like tickling me!"

"Don't worry, this is just the beginning." Tang Sen said calmly, "Don't I still have a bunch of helpers?"

He waved his hand and said, "This wound is too small, we have to find a way to pry off some of the scales around the wound."

"Speaking of which, is anyone interested in dragon scale shields?"

The dwarves' eyes lit up suddenly.

Their love for casting tells them that the dragon scale shield must be a top-level artifact, and if it comes from their own hands, then their names will be passed down along with this artifact.

"I'm coming!" Sharda, who couldn't hold back for a long time, stepped forward directly, stuck the ax in his hand into the gap between the dragon scales, and slammed it out with all his strength.

But until his face turned red, the dragon scale remained motionless.

"You ants, my scales are indestructible!" Smaug shouted. "If I hadn't been careless, you wouldn't have hurt a single hair of mine!"

"Don't waste time, just stab me to death with a sword!"

Smaug even wanted to die at this time.

But Tang Sen ignored him, he quickly took out a long mithril crowbar from the mithril ring, and said with a smile: "It's impossible to pry off the dragon scale with one person's strength, but luckily I was prepared .”

Dwarf, Smaug: "."

"Tang Sen, your preparations are really rich," Sha Lin couldn't help complaining.

The dwarves lined up, inserted crowbars into the gaps in the scales, and then used force together. As the saying goes, more people are stronger, and finally, the scales began to loosen.

Roar--

Smaug let out a painful roar, the pain of being pried off alive was greater than the pain of being shot off by the black arrow, and it lasted longer.

"Stop it! Stop it!"

Smaug roared, "I promise! I can help you once, no, three times!"

Tang Sen motioned the dwarves to continue to exert force until the scale jingled and fell on the golden mountain, and then he said: "What I want is surrender, not employment."

He lifted the scale with great effort, tapped it with his sword, made a crisp sound, and sighed: "Dragon scale is really a good thing."

Smaug shrunk his neck, he completely felt what it means to be a knife for a man and a fish for me.

A strange emotion called fear rose from the bottom of its heart.

As a giant dragon that seized the lonely mountain during its growth period and slept in gold coins throughout its growth process, it found that it was not as strong as it thought.

No, it's because this demon named Traveler is too evil, he has no mercy in his heart, and the eyes he looks at him are like a pile of lifeless materials!
His evilness even surpassed the dark aura on him!
Seeing Tang Sen directing the dwarves to start prying the dragon scales again, Smaug finally got anxious. He lowered his head for the first time and said, "I surrender! I am willing to surrender!"

"Until the end of your days, I will serve you."

The dwarves froze, staring at Smaug in disbelief.

This mighty giant dragon, the shadow in the hearts of the Durin dwarves, actually bowed his head?

"Success?" Balin sighed in a trance: "The traveler's methods are really powerful."

"What are you doing in a daze? Continue." Tang Sen didn't seem to hear Smaug's words, and just let the dwarves continue to pry.

It wasn't until the dwarves pried off a dragon scale again that Tang Sen said, "What I want is eternal surrender."

"What's the difference!" Smaug roared, "Human lifespan is only so long, and mine is beyond your imagination. Do I still have to guard your grave!"

"I don't like questioning." Tang Sen said lightly, "I don't even like bargaining."

"It seems that Smaug hasn't recognized his position yet, let us continue to work."

He sighed again: "Dragon scale is a good thing!"

"." The dwarves couldn't figure out whether Tang Sen wanted to tame Smaug, or simply wanted to torture it, but they naturally stood on Tang Sen's side, so they tried again, and Sarda even seriously agreed. road:

"Dragon scales are indeed a good thing!"

Smaug cursed, struggled, and even begged, but none of this stopped Tang Sen's movements until another scale fell off. At this time, a large piece of skin was exposed on Smaug's chest.

"I accept! I accept! Don't pry any more!" Smaug pleaded. "I will surrender to you forever, and I will be driven by you!"

"Whatever you say is what you say, let me go."

Without raising his head, Tang Sen gestured at the wounds with the stabbing sword in his hand, and said in a cruel tone:
"I do not believe you."

"I swear! I swear to my ancestors, I swear to my creator, I swear to Eru!" Smaug hurriedly said, "If I break my oath, my soul will perish forever and suffer endless torment."

Tang Sen's movements stopped, he looked at Smaug's golden pupils, and saw the pleading in the other's eyes.

This stalwart dragon has completely let go of his arrogance and buried his head in gold.

"It's really surprising." Tang Sen sighed, "I'm almost moved by you."

".Almost?" Smaug looked up sharply.

"I believe in the oaths you said, but the oaths will eventually expire one day." Tang Sen said.

"I have sworn to Eru!" roared Smaug in disbelief. "Such an oath is enough to last until the end of the world! Isn't it enough!"

Yiru, that is, Iluvita in Elven language, the god of creation.

"Unfortunately." Tang Sen said, "For me, it's not enough."

"It's a big world, Smaug."

"I have to add another layer of insurance."
