American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 599 Heading South
"Hey, little guy, what's your name?"

Mike was not angry when the heads of the remaining three snow ogres were "robbed". Instead, he took out a bag of dried meat from his arms and greeted the giant eagle above his head.

Strictly speaking, the giant eagle is also a Maia (demigod). Building a good relationship with this mysterious creature will help Mike gain more popularity in Middle-earth.

"Chirp...chirp..."

The naughty young eagle landed on the ground, swallowed the jerky, and rubbed Mike's palm affectionately with its head.

It can be seen that it likes the "smell" of Mike very much, or the [animal affinity] characteristic comes into play.

"So your name is Guan He, then Eagle King Sorondo is your father?" Mike asked with interest.

The legendary giant eagle king Thorondo had a golden beak. The young giant eagle in front of him also had a circle of golden lines around its beak.

Obviously, it must have the blood of the Eagle King.

"Chirp...chirp..."

The young eagle nodded in a humane way, agreeing with Mike's statement.

Like the Rossgobel rabbit, the giant eagle is also an intelligent creature, but it cannot speak human language.

Fortunately, Mike has the ability of "Animal Affinity" and can communicate with animals without any obstacles.

Just at this moment, a handsome giant eagle with a golden beak flew out from the group of giant eagles in the sky and called twice to the eaglet below.

It was like a parent urging a naughty child to go home.

So the young eagle reluctantly said goodbye to Mike, spread its wings and flew back to the group of giant eagles above.

Then the group of giant eagles circled into the sky and disappeared over the top of the snow-capped mountains.

"It's amazing. Not only did we eliminate the snow ogres on the snowy mountains, we also saw a group of giant eagles. The key is that the giant eagles seem to have a close relationship with you..." After the group of giant eagles left, Aragorn came to Mike excitedly, his eyes patrolling back and forth on him, as if he wanted to get to know him again, "Tell me, who are you?"

Aragorn is now in the developmental stage and does not yet have the aura of a human king.

To the point that the emotions are shown on the face.

"My name is Mike, a human traveler. I don't have any other identity..." Mike threw the elven sword in his hand back to Aragorn, "Thank you for your sword, it is very useful."

Just when Aragorn was about to say something, the rangers who had come to watch the fun instantly gathered around him and began to praise Mike's "great achievements" in killing the snow troll in various ways.

At the same time, he was also surprised that Mike could communicate with the giant eagle.

"Okay, the trouble on the snow mountain has been resolved. I think it's time for us to go down the mountain." After Mike dealt with a few words from the enthusiastic rangers, he called Aragorn and walked down the snow mountain.

Seeing Mike leave, the Ranger Observation Team immediately split into two groups. One group rushed down the mountain ahead of Mike to publicize the feat of the [Ogre Killer].

Another group of rangers, without caring about the cold, chopped off the heads of the three snow ogres killed by Mike, and then carried them and followed Mike.

The skin of these snow ogres is as hard as iron when they are alive, and after they die, they look no different from other animals.

After a long and arduous journey, when Mike and the rangers carrying the heads of the snow ogres returned to the northern highlands in the evening, the entrance of the village was crowded with people who came to watch the fun.

Yes, the group of rangers who came down the mountain early had already spread the news of Mike's feat of killing the ogre.

All of a sudden, Mike's reputation as the "Monster Killer" became even more famous.

"As expected of the [Ogre Killer], he can even kill the Snow Ogre..."

"Is that the head of the Snow Troll? It looks really scary. I wonder how ferocious it must have been when it was alive..."

"My goodness, this monster's head is three or four times as big as mine. If it were alive, I might not even be enough to fill their teeth..."

"..."

The onlookers pointed at the Snow Ogre's head and looked at Mike, the "Ogre Killer", with admiration.

The rangers in the back, who were proudly carrying the heads of the snow ogre, even suggested that Mike take the three heads on a tour of other villages while the fun was going on.

Of course, the parade is fake, going out to show off is the real thing.

Mike was not that bored. He pushed through the crowd and said, "It's getting late. I want to go have a drink with my friends. Please feel free to go~"

Aragorn was not a person who liked crowds, so he squeezed through the crowd and followed Mike to the largest tavern in the village.

"Snow trolls are not common!!! Let's go to other villages and let those rangers know how powerful our village's [Troll Killer] is~"

"Let's go together, let's go together~"

"..."

The departure of Mike, the real boss, did not dampen the rangers' enthusiasm to go out and show off.

Soon, the rangers gathered a large group of people who liked to join in the fun and carried the heads of the three snow ogres towards a nearby village.

Some people who wanted to hear the "story" followed Mike and went to the pub in the village.

Naturally, the village tavern owner also heard about such a significant event as killing the snow troll.

So when Michael and Aragorn came to the tavern, the tavern owner served them the best wine in the store without them having to ask.

The people who followed later couldn't help but get drunk as they listened to the rangers in the observation group describe the scene of Mike killing the snow ogre.

For a moment, the tavern became extremely lively as if it was a festival.

Until late at night, people still had something to talk about and were still enthusiastic. Amid laughter, barrels of good wine were brought out.

It was at this time that the rangers who went out to show off walked under the moonlight and brought more rangers from neighboring villages who wanted to witness history.

Everyone seems to be very interested in the warrior who can kill the snow troll alone.

"Mr. Mike, this is your commission for killing the Snow Troll, a total of three hundred gold coins." Under the gaze of everyone, a leading ranger walked up to Mike and respectfully handed over a heavy purse.

It must be said that although this group of rangers in the observation group show off, they are still very considerate when doing things.

"Thank you. Take this money and share it with your companions." Mike took out a hundred gold coins from his purse and gave them to the ranger in front of him as a reward for his hard work, and then kept the remaining gold coins.

"We should thank you. Next time such a good thing happens, remember to notify us." After watching a good show and getting paid, the ranger in the observation group was also in a good mood.

With the arrival of rangers from other villages, the atmosphere in the tavern became lively again.

Mike also noticed that the rangers who had just arrived from other villages mostly kept their eyes on him, and it looked like they wanted to come up and talk to him.

"Boss, serve everyone here another round of good wine..." Mike stood up and said, then patted Aragon on the shoulder and said, "Tonight, all expenses will be paid by Aragon."

There are stories to listen to and free drinks to drink.

Suddenly, there was a louder cheer in the tavern, and everyone was praising Michael and Aragorn for their generosity. After cheering, the foreign rangers were pulled to the table by others in the tavern to drink together.

Now, no one will come to disturb Mike for a short period of time.

"Lone Traveler, you know me. The money I have is not enough to pay for everyone..." Aragorn was probably the only unhappy person at the scene.

He was so poor that he was so angry that he even called Mike a derogatory name.

"Don't worry, Strider, this money is enough for you to pay the bill. Maybe there will be some left..." Mike smiled and pushed the purse containing two hundred gold coins in front of Aragorn.

Two hundred gold coins are enough to buy a small tavern, and certainly enough to treat everyone here to a good drink.

Aragorn looked at the money bag on the table, then looked at Michael who was smiling beside him. In the end, he chose to remain silent as he had only a few coins on him.

"Don't be so stingy, I'm just borrowing your name. Come, have a drink~" As a way of comforting him, Mike took the initiative to pour Aragorn a glass of wine.

Then, as the laughter in the tavern continued, the sullen Aragorn finally felt some of the fun of the party.

Next, when the rangers came over one after another to toast, Aragorn, as one of the drinking companions, drank too much that night as expected.

……

In the following week, as more and more rangers learned about Mike's killing of the Snow Troll, his reputation as the "Troll Killer" became well-known in the Northern Highlands.

At this point, Mike had a stable source of faith power in Middle-earth.

Moreover, the strength of these rangers is generally good, and the power of faith they contribute is more than that of ordinary people.

However, as Mike's reputation grew in the Northern Highlands, recently when he went out to hunt dark creatures, he was always followed by a group of rangers who wanted to watch the fun.

This greatly affected his mood for going out hunting.

That day, he had had enough of the northern highlands, so he approached Aragorn and said, "Come on, [Strider], I'll treat you to a drink. Don't worry, I'll pay for the wine this time."

"The sun rises in the west?" Aragorn, who had been cheated some time ago, finally learned recently to exchange the killed dark creatures for commissions.

With some confidence, he looked at Mike suspiciously and said, "No, there must be something wrong with you inviting me to drink for no reason. Are you ready to leave the Northern Highlands?"

You know what, the future Human Emperor’s sixth sense is quite accurate.

"Yes, I plan to visit the three elven kingdoms south of the Misty Mountains, and by the way, visit the human kingdom in the southeast and the Gondor defense line. Finally, I will probably go to the Lonely Mountain to hunt down the evil dragon Smaug..." Mike answered without hiding anything: "So, my next schedule will be very tight."

Middle-earth is very vast, and Mike urgently needs to travel around the entire continent. With specific coordinates, his space gate can go to any corner of this continent.

Otherwise, if he just wanted to covet the treasure on Lonely Mountain, Mike could continue to go east along the northern highlands, and at most cross a few snow-capped mountains, and he could reach Lonely Mountain directly.

As for the evil dragon guarding the treasure on Lonely Mountain, Mike didn't take it seriously at all.

"I didn't expect you to leave so soon, but it's not surprising. With your ability, it would only be a waste of time to stay in the northern highlands..." Thinking of his own situation, Aragorn felt a little disappointed, but still said: "By the way, if you pass by Rivendell and the Golden Forest, remember to say hello to King Aaron and Queen Galadriel on my behalf."

Aragorn's ancestor Isildur once led the human race to defeat the Dark Lord Sauron and took the One Ring from the Dark Lord.

It’s a pity that Isildur could not resist the temptation of the One Ring, which gave the dark forces the possibility to revive again.

It can be said that Isildur needs to take a large part of the responsibility for the current dire situation in Middle-earth. He has failed the expectations of the human race.

As the descendant of Isildur, Aragorn shoulders the glory of the Gondor royal family and the mission of defeating the dark forces, whether for atonement or for his own sake.

In this situation, he had to work hard to make himself stronger.

Before that, he seemed to be under too much pressure and confined himself to the northern highlands with the rangers.

There is a feeling that one will not come out until one's strength is reached.

Mike patted Aragorn on the shoulder, agreeing to his request. However, if the other party wants to complete the family mission, he still needs to work harder.

Then, the two went to the tavern and had two drinks. Then Mike waved goodbye to Aragorn and walked back the way he came.

"Did this guy forget to pay again?" It was not until Mike disappeared that Aragorn realized that he had been "cheated" again.

……

"Chirp...chirp..."

As Mike walked into the mountains surrounding the northern highlands, two giant eagles with golden beaks flew overhead.

They are the young eagle Guan He and his brother Lan Chuwa, also a young eagle with the blood of the Eagle King.

Mike had seen these two royal blood eaglets several times recently when he was hunting dark creatures in the mountains.

"I plan to visit the southern elves, so I won't go hunting spiders today." After explaining, Mike took out two pieces of antelope meat from the space and handed them to the giant eagle.

According to what Mike learned recently, the number of giant spiders in the Misty Mountains has not increased for such a long time, entirely because the group of giant eagles led by Thorondo have been hunting giant spiders in the mountains.

Two days ago, Mike was invited by Guan He to hunt giant spiders with a group of giant eagles, and then he was entangled by these two young eagles.

They all seemed to like the "smell" of Mike.

"Chirp...chirp..."

After eating the antelope meat, the two young eagles called to Mike twice.

"You said you would send me to Rivendell? Is that ok? Your father Thorondo won't beat you, right?" Mike pretended to be concerned, but he was actually very tempted.

Who could resist two cool giant eagles as mounts?
Even though they are still fledglings, Guan He and Lan Chuwa, whose wingspans are over 15 meters, are also giant eagles.

"Chirp...chirp..."

Guan He puffed out his chest in a humane way, then looked at Mike with contempt, as if he was disgusted with the other party for looking down on him.

On the contrary, the obedient eagle Lan Chuwa next to him did not dare to speak.

"Okay, then I will reluctantly agree to your request to go with you." Mike jumped onto Guan He's back with a smile, and then instructed Lanchuwa who was struggling on the side: "Go back and tell Eagle King Thorondo that Guan He is accompanying me to Rivendell. It will be back in a week at most, so tell the Eagle King not to worry."

Mike has met Eagle King Thorondo twice. He is a very strict giant eagle.

But then again, even if the Eagle King was angry, it was Guan He who got beaten up afterwards. It had nothing to do with Mike, and Lanchuwa next to him could help to testify.

And at worst, if Eagle King starts to talk to Guan He, Mike will definitely persuade him to be gentler if he has the chance.

It’s decided!!!

"Okay, target Rivendell, let's go~" Mike, sitting on the back of the giant eagle, immediately gave orders excitedly.

He had ridden in a sleigh pulled by rabbits before, but this was his first time flying on a giant eagle.
