People are in the heavens, wealth can rival a country

Chapter 124 Are you awake?The operation was a success

"What do you want from me!"

Smaug couldn't understand this damn human being at all. He had completely let go of his self-esteem and was willing to swear to surrender. What else did the other party want?
The damn madman!Butcher!devil!
"Don't be afraid, it's just a small operation." Tang Sen said: "It will hurt a little, bear with it."

He ignored Smaug's wailing, took out some mithril weapons, and beckoned the dwarves to come forward.

I won't repeat the bloody scene. When the golden red heart appeared in front of everyone, Smaug almost didn't even have the energy to speak.

It was just hoarse, and said heartlessly: "Since you plan to kill me, why torture me and humiliate me?"

"Isn't a living, loyal dragon more useful than a dead dragon?"

Tang Sen said: "Your loyalty still needs to be proved slowly, but my credit is beyond doubt."

"As I said, you would be the first dragon in Middle-earth to see his own heart while he was alive."

Holding a sharp arrow in his hand, he slowly split an aorta in his heart.

Strangely, the golden-red blood did not gushes out. As the aorta was completely divided into two sections, Tang Sen could see that the huge, almost one-meter-square heart was still beating healthily. His blood is still flowing.

It's a pity that Smaug was already fainted the moment Tang Sen moved the knife, and did not witness this miracle.

Until Tang Sen took out the whole heart, the dwarves were dumbfounded.

"Is it alive or dead now?" Sharin asked confusedly.

Travelers have strange tricks, and all dwarves know that.

"Of course it's still alive." Tang Sen glanced at her and said, "I don't need to kill it, do I?"

"."

You have been tossing it for nearly a night, and it seems more cruel than killing it.

For some reason, the dwarves suddenly felt sorry for Smaug, hell!That's a dragon!And it's still the giant dragon that invaded the Lonely Mountain!How could such a strange idea come up.

It can only be said that this giant dragon is really too miserable.

"Next, it's time to wake up our Sleeping Beauty. Well, Smaug should be a male dragon, right?"

Tang Sen didn't bother to check the sex of the other party. He came to Smaug's head, leaned closer, and said softly:
"Surrender. Or die?"

Smaug shuddered in a coma.

"Surrender!" It opened its golden pupils and roared reflexively.

Only then did it realize its current situation, and looked at Tang Sen in confusion: "I'm not dead?"

"The feeling of death is completely different from coma, Smaug." Tang Sen said:

"The operation was a success, congratulations."

"Surgery?" Smaug's vision swept across, seeing those dwarves with complicated complexions, seeing the still bright gold, and then seeing the beating golden red heart.

Well, this heart looks really pretty.

No, why is it still beating?And, where's the heart?So big, it doesn't look like it was taken out of the chest of a dwarf or a human.

Smaug felt something was wrong in his heart, he lowered his head slowly and looked at his chest.

There was a bloody hole there, empty.

"what--"

A scream that was completely different from the powerful roar of the giant dragon rang out. No one could have imagined that a giant dragon could make such a sharp sound.

"So that's my heart? My heart was pulled out?"

It almost passed out again, no, it felt like it was dead, everything now was an illusion, yes, it must be an illusion.

"It's not an illusion." Tang Sen said with a devilish smile in Smaug's eyes, "I have fulfilled my promise, Smaug."

The devil wants this kind of promise to be fulfilled!
"Don't worry, you're fine." Tang Sen explained, "I'm a professional."

"I have to congratulate you, now you don't have to worry about being shot through the heart by some kind of archer and dying."

You make it sound like it's a good thing.
Smaug looked at Townsend with complicated eyes. This human who claimed to be a traveler had seen the other party's mysterious and cruel methods. He knew that even if he was not bound by the oath, he might not have the heart to resist him anymore.

"By the way, in return for your surrender, I will give you a gift."

As Tang Sen said so, he walked up to the heart and poked it curiously, making Smaug tremble all over.

It can feel it!That heart seems to be still in his body!
very sensitive!
Then, it saw the silver-white Mithril appear, slowly wrapping the heart inside, leaving only room for the heart to barely beat.

"In this way, your heart will be as indestructible as your dragon scales." Tang Sen said with satisfaction, "Do you like this gift?"

do not like!
Smaug nodded again and again, "Your generosity is impressive."

"In addition to helping you resist attacks, these mithrils also have a function." Tang Sen smiled mysteriously, signaling Smaug to focus on the heart.

Then, in its terrified eyes, the mithril wrapped around the heart slowly grew spikes outward, like a sea urchin.

"Smaug, you don't want these spikes growing inward either?" Tang Sen said slowly.

"No! Absolutely not!" Smaug shook his head frantically.

The spikes shrank again, and the mithril became smooth again.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't do it if it wasn't necessary." Tang Sen comforted.

Smaug felt threatened. Comforted.

Satisfied with Smaug's attitude, Townsend asked the dwarves to put their hearts back into the dragon's chest.

The self-healing ability of the dragon's flesh and blood is very strong, and the cut wounds will eventually heal. Tang Sen has no means of treatment, but controls the mithril to completely cover the places where the dragon scales have been pried off.

In this way, Smaug looks as healthy as before, no, no longer has the defect of the dragon scale, he is healthier than before.

"Congratulations, then, Smaug, you are free again."

The mithril ropes that bound Smaug were slowly being loosened, and Tang Sen took them back into the mithril ring.

But Smaug remained motionless.

Its foothill-like body exudes a sense of loss and despair.

"Looks like our dragon needs some time alone."

Tang Sen said: "By the way, say goodbye to the gold here."

"Gold." Smaug raised his head sharply: "Farewell?"

"We still have much to do, Smaug, and your days of sleeping in gold are over."

Sadness and despair surged from Smaug's heart even more than before.

"Okay, it's time for us to find Thorin Oakenshield." Tang Sen led the dwarves out of the hall: "He needs to fulfill his previous promise."

The group of people gradually drifted away, and the desperate scream of the dragon came from behind.

"No! No! No—"

They found Thorin on the throne of Erebor.

The royal family of the dwarves sat upright with their eyes closed, not knowing how long they had been sitting on the throne.

On the top of the throne, the bright heart of the mountain that had been missing for hundreds of years, the Aken gemstone, was re-inlaid, exuding the brilliance of royal authority.

The dwarves were silent.

It stands to reason that seeing this scene again, the dwarves should be so excited that they burst into tears and rolled on the ground, but the person sitting on the throne, the former king in their hearts, not only abandoned them in the name of Durin , and in the midst of the battle, fled ignominiously.

When the dwarves were blown away by the dragon again and again, almost thinking that they were going to die there, the king should have been sitting on the throne all the time, indulging in the illusory kingship.

"You are here."

He finally opened his eyes and looked down at everyone: "I heard the wailing of the dragon, it seems that you have succeeded."

"Now, you traitors are ready to take my throne and my fortune, right?"

"Sorin!" Balin said in a deep voice, "Durin, we never thought of betrayal."

"Didn't you find out? Your mind has been corrupted, and the dragon disease has made you lose your mind."

"Is this the excuse you came up with?" Sorin chuckled lightly, "Dragon disease?"

"When Smaug came, all blamed my grandfather for the evil, that his mind was consumed by the dragon's disease, and now I'm back on the throne of Erebor, as our eldest You, Bahrain, you also want to use the excuse of dragon disease to blame me."

"Smaug was for the riches of Erebor, and what you are for is obvious."

"Who do you want to support? Yourself? Or Shalin Mithril Hammer?"

Sharin shouted angrily, "I never thought of that!"

"But I don't see the slightest respect for the king from your eyes." Thorin sneered: "I am the son of Thrain, the destined inheritor of the Lord of the Mountain, and I have won the crown of the Lonely Mountain from the minions of the dragon." The treasure, re-embed it on the throne, and you have no respect."

"This is not betrayal, what is it?"

"Seize." Tang Sen chuckled, "Or stealing would be more appropriate."

"Traveler." Sorin's face darkened, "Our transaction has ended, this is the palace of the dwarves, and you are not welcome."

"You look so pathetic." Tang Sen said calmly, "I'm not interested in Erebo, nor the wealth here, but I must remind you, are you sure you want to expel me?"

"Expelling a man who helped the dwarves defeat the dragon and help the dwarves retake the Lonely Mountain?"

"I'm just expelling an evildoer." Thorin said coldly: "Don't think that I can't see it, you are corrupting the hearts of the dwarves along the way, the root cause of their betrayal of me is you, don't be wishful thinking , I will never let the throne of the dwarves fall into the hands of outsiders."

"Even if you have the gift of Iluvita, as long as you dare to continue standing in front of me—"

Thorin stood up:

"I will also swear the sovereignty of the dwarves with your blood!"

　The current monthly ticket is 401/100, and the current increase is 1/4.

　　There will be more changes today, but with my coding speed, it should be very late..
