Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#173 - Orcs assemble!

"What did you say?"

"Nothing, you wouldn't understand even if I told you. Just wait here and die."

"Impossible! Don't think that you, a mere human, can expel me. Even those few wizards couldn't do it, including this elf's grandmother.

Don't think that having the One Ring means you can contend with me, Smaug. Even Sauron wouldn't dare say such a thing so easily! Hahahaha!"

"Hmm~ We'll see about that~"

Hearing the other party's words, Liang Yue simply curved the corners of his mouth and responded casually.

With a thought, the fool-proof villager invitation interface immediately appeared before his eyes.

"Arwen, remember what I told you before? You'll always agree to it. Now is a good time, hehehe~ Although it's a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

But this is the only way I can think of right now!"

"You, you still want me to be your villager now?"

For a brief moment, Arwen's blue eyes returned to normal, and then she looked at him with a timid expression.

"That's right~"

"But, will this work? Can your guardian power allow me to get rid of Smaug?"

"Impossible! No guardian power will work!?"

Arwen's face immediately twisted, revealing a mouthful of teeth, and she looked at the person on this side fiercely, her fiery red eyes full of irritability.

However, in the next moment, the elf princess's face quickly returned to normal, and she looked at him with a hint of hope in her eyes.

Seeing this, Liang Yue smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, although you are now entangled by Smaug's soul, you are still you. I'll send a villager invitation over, and you just accept it. As long as you become my villager, it's equivalent to gaining the recognition of the guardian power.

Then you can enter my world like Rachel, but Smaug's soul body can't, because it hasn't received my invitation. The end awaiting it...

Is either being annihilated on the spot by the power of the world, or turning into pure soul power to be absorbed by you!"

"I don't believe it!"

Arwen bared her silver teeth again, waving her claws at Liang Yue.

"I don't care if you believe it or not~"

After saying that, Liang Yue ignored this guy and concentrated on operating on the light screen in front of him. Then, in just a few seconds, he found Arwen's character entry.

Immediately, this guy easily, with his orchid fingers raised, clicked on the invitation button behind the entry.

"Arwen~ Try accepting it now~"

"I, okay!"

As soon as this woman's voice fell, a faint layer of white halo suddenly rose from her body.

This halo was not dazzling, only a thin layer, barely enveloping Arwen's body.

However, this seemingly inconspicuous light film seemed to contain unimaginable power, and with just one contact.

Smaug's originally powerful golden soul began to rapidly dissolve and disintegrate, and then instantly turned into billions of soul particles, and was blocked by the light film.

Unable to dissipate, it could only merge with Arwen in the end.

The whole process was very short. The elf princess, as the acceptor, was even a little too late to react, and it was already over.

And Smaug's soul will only had time to leave a terrified howl before completely disappearing from this world!

However, Liang Yue was prepared for this. At the first moment of sending out the villager invitation, he had already taken out the One Ring from the storage space and put it on his finger.

And he had the good fortune to witness the entire process~

Then, after confirming that the dragon's soul had completely dissipated, this guy immediately threw the ring back into the storage space…

Looking at Arwen in front of him, her brows slightly furrowed, unconsciously stroking her temples, Liang Yue immediately took a few big steps forward and hugged the woman in his arms.

"How do you feel?"

"Um, I~ I'm fine. Smaug's soul has indeed disappeared as you said, but I feel a little… bloated, and I've also received some information about the villagers in my mind."

"Of course~! I respect any choice you make, Arwen. Didn't I just see that you were a little uncomfortable, like you were about to faint!"

"I was just a little unaccustomed for a while, but I'm much better now."

"Okay, you do need time to adapt to the relationship between us. Um~ By the way, you just said you felt a little bloated. I think that might be a sequelae after you absorbed Smaug's soul energy."

As he said that, Liang Yue flipped his sleeve and took out a somewhat old scroll tied with a red ribbon from his storage space and handed it over.

"This is a kind of meditation method I got from Gandalf. It can improve your mental strength and the speed of gathering energy. I think it should be useful for your current symptoms."

"Thank you, Liang Yue, I~ um."

Just as this woman took the scroll and hadn't had time to react, Liang Yue's big mouth immediately printed on it, blocking her words in her throat.

Arwen widened her eyes, a hint of surprise and annoyance flashed in her lake-blue eyes, but then she just rolled her eyes, but didn't refuse again.

At this moment, a burst of footsteps suddenly came from far and near, appearing unusually clear in this empty treasure room.

"Liang Yue~ Are you here~?"

Hearing this shout, Liang Yue had no choice but to temporarily interrupt his plan to press his advantage.

Letting Arwen escape from his arms, and then he himself stretched his head out from a pile of gold ware, looking at the little hobbit who was standing on the circular stairs in the distance and replied.

"Bilbo~ What's the matter?"

"Did you find Arwen, Liang Yue?"

"I found her. She had a little accident just now and was entangled by Smaug's soul, but I have successfully solved it now!"

"Oh~ Thank goodness! But you'd better come over now. Legolas and his captain of the guard are here. They seem to have something to say."

"Okay Bilbo, we'll be right there~"

Saying that, Arwen smoothed her hair and clothes, took a few deep breaths, and then walked out first, never looking at someone again throughout the whole process.

Seeing this, what else could Liang Yue say? He could only slowly follow behind, whistling a little smugly in his mouth.

Soon, the two came to a balcony in the Lonely Mountain King City. This place was right next to the place where he read and warmed himself by the fire last night.

At this time, Thorin and his party of dwarves had gathered here, and at the foot of the tall city gate of the Lonely Mountain, the elf prince Legolas and his captain of the guard, Tauriel, were waiting there, with a hint of anxiety faintly visible on their faces.

It wasn't until Arwen appeared on the balcony that Legolas calmed down.

"I'm relieved to see you safe and sound, Arwen. It seems that you really succeeded in slaying the dragon! The dwarves have also really recovered the Lonely Mountain!"

"Thank you for your concern, Legolas. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, it has now been perfectly resolved."

Arwen was holding the stone railing in front of her at this time, looking at the two of her own race below and smiling.

"I'm sorry that I can't open the door to welcome you for the time being, Forest Prince. In fact, I don't plan to open the gate of the Lonely Mountain until our dwarf army arrives."

Thorin was standing aside at this time, looking down at the two below and said.

"In fact, I also hope that your army can arrive sooner, Prince Thorin. We came to the Lonely Mountain this time in violation of our previous promise, but we actually came with important information.

The orc army is rapidly gathering, and their number is at least over 20,000. This is the information that I and my captain of the guard personally investigated, and their target is this Lonely Mountain.

Before coming, I had already sent the information back to Mirkwood. My father, King Thranduil, should already be leading the elf army to come here at this time."

Speaking here, Legolas suddenly paused, and then looked at Thorin and continued.

"Of course, if you want my king to really help you dwarves, the premise is probably that you have to fulfill your previous promise."

"I have already prepared the White Gem, Prince. When the time comes, I will hand it over to Thranduil myself."

Saying that, Thorin solemnly took out a jewelry box. After opening the box lid, he immediately revealed a pure white gem inside, shining with a crystal clear luster in the sun.

After picking up this gem and shaking it at the two below, Thorin looked at the white-haired dwarf beside him.

"Put down a rope ladder and let them come up."
