Chapter 161 Kill the black bear before dinner.
Wayne followed Thorin for half a town. Outside a low-rise house where dwarves lived, he saw Balin smoking a pipe. This was an old dwarf with a wise look in his eyes.
After the two parties met, without much greeting, Wayne was invited into the house. Instead of tea, the dwarf poured him a glass of pure dwarf beer.
"This is Balin, a master architect among the dwarves. He has participated in the design of many famous buildings in our dwarf kingdom, including the royal palace." "This
is Mr. Wayne. He wants to hire a group of dwarf craftsmen. , go to the Shire to build a manor."
After a brief introduction to each other, the two parties were not polite and quickly entered into the normal transaction process.
Faced with a customer like Wayne who was not short of money, had high emotional intelligence, and was eloquent, there was no trouble between the two parties, and the labor contract was quickly signed smoothly.
According to the agreement between the two parties, about thirty dwarf craftsmen will go to Hobbiton in the Shire to help Wayne build the manor.
However, because they are an out-of-town work team, Wayne needs to provide food and accommodation for the dwarves, and pay a one-third deposit in advance, about 280 Middle-earth gold coins, before the dwarf craftsmen can start work.
This price was similar to what old Hobbit Ford had guessed, and it was in line with the market conditions. The dwarves did not take the opportunity to raise the price.
After the two parties discussed various matters, Balin told Wayne that the dwarf craftsmen would wait until the day after tomorrow to set off, because there were many tools and equipment that needed to be transported, and personnel also needed to be arranged. This waiting time is necessary.
Of course, Wayne has no objection to this. It has always been his principle to leave professional matters to professionals.
But in this case, Wayne's time was free while Bahrain and his workers were preparing.
Thinking of the bounty mission on the notice board and the reward of three hundred gold coins, Wayne declined Thorin's invitation to dinner and said with a smile:
"Prince Thorin, Mr. Balin, you can prepare dinner first. I'll go see if I can find Bisog the black bear." "
Maybe I can catch up with your dinner when I come back."
Separate from the two dwarves. Afterwards, Wayne still remembered the surprised and shocked expressions in the eyes of the two dwarves, and felt a little happy in his heart.
However, these days, if you want to impress others, you don't just have to show off your words, you also have to show real skills.
He quickly asked passers-by for directions and found the female painter in the town of Buri. She was a woman in her thirties named Sodanina. She was plump and good-looking. Unfortunately, she had a happy family and her husband The kids were all around, and Wayne wasn't the kind of person to try to pick corners.
After a conversation and knowing his purpose, the female painter saw that he was alone and immediately stopped him, hoping that he would not go into danger alone in the forest. Even if he wanted to hunt the black bear Bisog, it was best to form a fighting team. Team, act together.
Unfortunately, Wayne was resolute and full of confidence in his words and deeds. Seeing that her repeated attempts to dissuade her were in vain, Sodanina told the Witcher all about the discovery of her brother's body and the speculations about the black bear's whereabouts in some towns. .
And Wayne also successfully obtained an expert-level assignment from a female painter.
In the past few months, he had only been able to receive ordinary tasks from the Hobbit, and he was a little tired of it. The level of expert tasks also hinted to him that this black bear was not very powerful.
After saying goodbye to Sodanina and her family, Wayne took out the magic flying carpet without caring about the surprised looks of the people around him, then rode it and flew towards the location of the black bear Bisog.
The flying carpet was very fast and ignored the terrain. In less than half an hour, he arrived at the place where the black bear often haunted.
Unfortunately, at this point, Wayne can only rely on luck to find him.
But obviously, in terms of good luck, he has always been favored by fate.
Just as Wayne was flying silently in the air and searching for dozens of minutes, a huge roar of a wild bear reached his keen witcher hearing.
Wayne immediately became energetic and immediately flew towards the source of the sound.
The forest outside the town of Buri has quite lush vegetation, but due to people's felling, the number of trees is not particularly dense. Through the gaps between the trees, it is easy to see the scene on the ground.
Soon, amid a loud noise, he saw a huge black bear chasing an injured wild deer in the forest. The black bear runs very fast. Although the movement trajectory of the wild deer is very tricky, after running for about a few hundred meters, it was thrown to the ground by this huge black bear, opened its bloody mouth, and bit it in one bite. neck.
Seeing this, Wayne was delighted. Most beasts were most relaxed when eating. No matter how strong the wild bear was, as long as it was made of flesh and blood, it would always be vulnerable to a sneak attack. fragile.
While this black bear was observing its surroundings vigilantly, it was eating large amounts of flesh and blood.
Wayne's flying carpet has quietly stopped at a height of more than ten meters above the flying bear.
He slowly pulled out the huge sword named Oath of Victory, put an enhanced version of Quen's shield on himself, and then half-crouched on the flying carpet, staring at the heart of the black bear.
After waiting for a few minutes, at the moment when the black bear was halfway through the meal and lowered its head to eat the internal organs of the wild deer, Wayne jumped lightly and jumped down from a height of more than ten meters, holding a two-handed sword and aiming at the black bear. The position of the heart, with the sound of wind, pierced in hard like justice from heaven.
There was a pop, the sound of flesh and blood being torn apart.
The two-handed sword, which was more than one meter long, penetrated the black bear's fur, bones, and internal organs without any obstruction. It directly stabbed the black bear through and stabbed it to the ground.
Although the black bear's dying counterattack threw Wayne away, such an action also tore the fatal wound on its heart into a larger wound, accelerating its death.
After inflicting a fatal blow to the black bear Bisog, Wayne did not intervene in the battle again. He just cautiously followed the black bear, standing at a safe distance and watching it stagger with the two-handed sword inserted in its heart. Escape.
Unfortunately, after escaping less than two hundred meters, the black bear Bisog could no longer hold on. He fell to the ground with blood all the way, and slowly lost his life.
As mentioned before, as long as it is a flesh-and-blood life, no matter how powerful it is, it will always be so fragile when facing a sneak attack.
After waiting for ten minutes, until the blood of the black bear Bisog was almost no longer flowing out from the huge wound, Wayne stepped forward and stepped on the black bear's back, pulled out his sword, and recalled the flying carpet in the sky. Slowly inserted into the scabbard.
Looking at the huge carcass of the black bear, Wayne thought for a few seconds and frowned slightly. Fortunately, he had prepared a thick rope in his storage bag in advance.
Although the magic flying carpet made by Jaina is very difficult to bear the weight of one person and one bear, as long as the magic output is increased, it can still fly.
And by the time he used a rope to hang the huge black bear carcass under the flying carpet, transported it back to Bree Town, and landed in the town square, only about three hours had passed since he left the town. .
Some onlookers saw the black bear's body, looked at the prominent physical features, and immediately understood that it was Bisog, the black bear for which a bounty was placed, and soon spread the good news throughout the entire town of Brie.
Wayne did not keep a low profile. After putting the magic flying carpet into his arms, he held the hilt of the sword with both hands and the scabbard on the ground. He took a confident but calm posture and stood in the square of the town, accepting the The eyes of everyone watching and admiring.
About ten minutes later, a middle-aged bald hobbit squeezed through the crowd and found Wayne who was surrounded by people.
After a conversation filled with exclamation and admiration, the town official respectfully presented the bounty and loudly announced to the surrounding crowd the good news that Bisog had been eliminated.
He praised Wayne, the hero who killed the evil beast, and announced that he had become an eternal friend of the town of Bree.
In order to further expand this reputation, Grandpa Wayne, who was not short of money, was not stingy. He handed over the huge sum of three hundred gold coins to the Hobbit official and announced loudly that he would use this money to A huge sum of money was spent to invite everyone in the town to drink and celebrate together.
Middle-earth is indeed an ideal world in fantasy. Wayne's move immediately aroused the revelry and admiration of everyone in the town. Men, women, old people and children all looked at him with admiration and respect.
Among the people who admired him, Wayne also discovered Thorin, Balin and other dwarves with complicated eyes.
However, Wayne did not find them immediately. He first found the female painter Sodanina who was crying with joy in the crowd. During a conversation of relief and blessing, he completed his expert task.
Then, under the gaze of many people, he walked up to the dwarf prince and said with a smile:
"Thorin, I don't need to trouble you to prepare dinner tonight."
"Why don't you just use my bounty and let's have a good drink together?" Let's do it."
