Chapter 338: Nature's Spirit Black Arrow
Richard trained Legolas in his spare time. The elven prince was already an adult, but his mind was very immature after all the smooth sailing in recent years. He always thought he could handle all crises, but until they really faced them, they realized that they were still far from it.

Thranduil's stag was very majestic. Richard checked its bloodline and tested its strength. The strength of this stag had reached the level of a high-level warrior. Richard also found that the stag had begun to gather racial power.

If he continued like this, he would most likely become a demigod of the giant horned deer race. If he was lucky enough, it would not be impossible for him to become a nature spirit.

There are also stag gods in the multiverse. These stag gods were originally nature spirits. Most nature spirits are extraordinary animals. They become demigods by chance, and then gain worship from indigenous tribes or ethnic groups and become nature spirits.

Richard once knew a giant deer spirit. That giant deer was only a weak spirit, but behind him stood an ice goddess. He was the mount of the ice goddess. The ice goddess may not be well-known now, but in the Ice Age, she was the most powerful spirit, only one step away from becoming a god above gods.

It's just that after the end of the Ice Age, her power declined, but the Ice and Snow Goddess is an ancient god. She just accepted the faith. Although She is a god of medium power, it would be a joke to really regard Her as a medium god.

Just like Tiamat, the mother of evil dragons, she is a god of weaker power, but if a real fight comes, even the more powerful gods dare not provoke her.

Later, the Ice and Snow Goddess attempted to return the Prime Material Plane to the Ice Age by herself, but was defeated by the united opposition of all the gods of the Prime Material Plane, and then retreated to the North.

He dared to do this and still survived. You can imagine how powerful he is.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a big boss that this guy's true nature erupts, and he wanders around the multiverse day after day. From Mount Paradise to the Zoo, from the wilderness to paradise, including the main material plane, his footprints can be found everywhere. He is completely a street urchin.

Richard had also met this street urchin in Paradise, and had gained some benefits from him. This giant-horned deer was the most favorite of the nature spirits to enlighten druids. Although he was not very powerful, he had a deep background and could easily attract a group of great druids.

Now seeing that this giant elk also has this potential, Richard decided to help him.

Richard immediately took out a soul crystal, mobilized his magic power, and cast a natural enlightenment on the giant horned deer in front of him. The natural aura flickered, and the power in the soul crystal was also extracted.

Then, Richard lightly tapped the head of the giant deer, and in an instant, the natural light instantly penetrated into its body.

The effect of natural enlightenment can enlighten druids, and can also enlighten some intelligent beasts. After the giant elk gained natural enlightenment, the surrounding natural forces began to gather towards its body, and its eyes became more agile.

The bighorn deer leaped up, and actually jumped onto the tree quickly by stepping on the branches. Then it jumped back to the ground lightly, and stepped hard with its front hooves. A natural magic burst out from its body, and then enveloped the surroundings. Richard could feel a layer of armor on his body, which should be the thorn halo.

Then another wave of magic was released from it, and the surrounding trees became lush and green, healing naturally. Having awakened two natural skills, this giant horned deer has very good qualifications.

But just when Richard thought it was about to end, the giant deer cast a spell once again, and a large number of thorns like snakes suddenly emerged from the ground and entangled him.

Looking at the big horned deer in front of him, Richard was also surprised. This kind of natural enlightenment awakening three natural spells can be said to be one in a million, and most of them awaken only one spell. Although the number of awakened spells does not represent future achievements, it also shows its outstanding talent.

Li Jue thought that when the two fawns grew up, he would also give them some natural enlightenment. If a demigod was born in his secondary plane, it would also be good for him.

Although he didn't plan to become a god, it was a good idea to have a few demigod fighters. Unfortunately, Natural Inspiration could only work on wild beasts or intelligent beasts, not on phoenixes, otherwise he would have to give the phoenix one.

After sending away the excited elk, the energetic stag went to have fun with his herd.

Richard obtained a large number of plant seeds and various animals in the Woodland Kingdom. At that time, the spiders in the Black Forest once again invaded the territory of the Woodland Kingdom.

This time, with the Elven Ring in hand, Thranduil, whose strength has greatly increased, took action himself and launched a counterattack against the spiders. Originally, the Woodland Kingdom was unwilling to deal with the spiders in order to avoid casualties and the erosion of dark forces.

But after getting the Elven Ring, Thranduil's strength increased greatly, and he also learned to summon the phoenix. Thranduil took action himself, and a large number of spiders were killed directly. At the same time, the power of the Elven Ring in his hand began to break the darkness of the forest.

The thick fog that shrouded the forest began to dissipate, and the power of nature began to revive here. The giant deer carried Thranduil and ran through the forest. Wherever they passed, the original darkness was dispelled, the dead trees began to sprout new buds, and the turbid streams began to become clear again.

The power of nature blooms again here.

Wherever Thranduil passed, nature and darkness were clearly separated. Then, Thranduil used the power of the Elven Ring to build a magical barrier here, isolating the Black Forest and the Woodland Kingdom.

Elrond's Ring of Air can protect Rivendell, and this ring can naturally protect the Woodland Kingdom. With the power to destroy evil and drive away darkness, the dark magic of the Black Forest can no longer erode here.

Seeing everything in front of them, the elves of the Woodland Kingdom shouted excitedly. The giant deer carrying Thranduil excitedly rushed up the cliff.

Richard collected all the books of the Woodland Kingdom into the library, and mastered their magic knowledge. Although the three elven kingdoms inherited different knowledge, it can be seen that the knowledge and magic of the three kingdoms are of the same origin.

Richard got the complete Elven Rune, and also the knowledge and technology of making the Silmaril, which is the crystallization of the highest magic skills of the elves.

Unfortunately, one of the three Silmarils became a star in the sky, one fell into the sea, and one fell into the center of the earth. It is very difficult to get any of them.

As for refining the Silmarils, the important raw material, the light of the Two Sacred Trees, can no longer be found. The Two Sacred Trees were created by the Creator God, but were later destroyed by Melkor and Ungoliant. The final fruits and flowers were created by the Valar into the sun and the moon.

Richard got the method to make the Silmarils, but he couldn't make any more. But Richard planned to try other methods after he returned. If he succeeded, he could use it to replace the sun, moon and stars. The runes of the elves came from the Valar. The gods in this world, the Valar, were all created by the creator god Ilúvatar. It can be said that their knowledge came from the gods.

The magic knowledge of this world is a great gain for Richard. The magic knowledge of different worlds can give him more inspiration, just like the principle of learning from others.

Richard needs other knowledge to verify his knowledge, and then master and integrate it into his own knowledge system. This approach is difficult, but it is also his way to master the rules.

The Woodland Kingdom regained a large area of ​​forest and used a river as the boundary between the Black Forest and the Woodland Kingdom. After the great victory and the establishment of the magic barrier, Thranduil decided to hold a banquet to celebrate.

After attending the banquet, Richard prepared to leave the Woodland Kingdom and head to Lonely Mountain, where there was not only a large amount of gold, but also a lot of mithril and high-quality magic gems.

At that time, the dwarves almost dug out the entire Lonely Mountain, thus obtaining a large amount of metals, gold being just one of them. At the same time, they also mined a large number of gems.

Richard was going to take the mithril and magic gems, and as for the gold, it would depend on the situation. Oh, and there was also Smaug, this giant dragon was a treasure.

Smaug has no spellcasting ability, which is a limitation of Ilúvatar. In the Second Age, the power of dragons was very strong. You should know that the elves at that time were much stronger than they are now.

Smaug was able to destroy the entire Dwarf Kingdom of Lonely Mountain. According to Richard's calculations, his strength must be at least legendary, and he must be a red dragon at the ancient dragon or pre-ancient dragon stage.

The dragons in this world are biological weapons created by gods. Richard plans to study Smaug to see if he can infer their magic technology from him.

The ability to create such a powerful dragon must have profound attainments in creating life. If he could gain some skills from it, it would greatly improve his bloodline skills.

Unfortunately, he didn't dare to go to Aman. What if Ilúvatar didn't welcome him? Ilúvatar, the creator god of this world, should have a good temper. Otherwise, Richard would have troubled him the first time he came here.

Ilúvatar created the Great Music, which is the fate of the world. Richard's arrival will definitely affect the performance of the music, but Ilúvatar did not take direct action against him. Richard cannot really act recklessly.

He planned to wait for Bard of Lake Town to kill Smaug with a black arrow, and then take Smaug's body away. Of course, as compensation, he would give the people of Lake Town enough compensation.

There is enough gold in Lonely Mountain anyway, and it would be a waste to leave it to the dwarves.

In fact, it is very difficult for Black Arrow to kill Smaug. After all, Black Arrow can only hurt the dragon by shooting into the place where its scales fell.

Back then, Bard's grandfather used a black arrow to shoot Smaug. Although he hit the giant beast, the black arrow only knocked off a piece of its scale. If Bard wanted to shoot the dragon, he could only shoot from the position where the scale was missing, otherwise he would at most shoot off a scale.

Richard planned to add some enchantments to the black arrow, such as [Armor Breaking], [Sharpness], and [Precision], so that Bard would have a greater chance of killing Smaug.

After staying in the Woodland Kingdom for another two days, Richard said goodbye to Thranduil and headed for Lake Town. The residents of Lake Town originally lived in River Town. Sixty years ago, River Town was extremely prosperous because of trade with the dwarves of Lonely Mountain and the woodland elves.

But the wealth of the Lonely Mountain aroused the greed of the evil dragon Smaug. Smaug attacked the kingdom of the dwarves, killed a large number of dwarves, occupied the Lonely Mountain, and destroyed Lake-town.

The remaining residents of Hegu Town came to Changhu Town to settle down.

Changhu Town is now controlled by a greedy mayor, and Richard uses the spell of suggestion to enter the town. After questioning some townspeople, he finds the fisherman Bard and uses the spell of sleeping to make them fall asleep again.

Then Richard found the black arrow that he used as a harpoon. This black arrow was made of a special metal alloy, which was extremely tough and sharp. In order to launch this spear-like black arrow, apart from the bed crossbow, the only other tools available were the wind crossbow specially made by the dwarves.

Ordinary bows and arrows were simply not able to drive this heavy black arrow. The bed crossbow had poor flexibility and could not aim at the giant dragon in the sky, so the only option was to use a wind crossbow.

The Dwarven Wind Crossbow is a special crossbow fixed on a high observation tower. It is made of tough material. Although it is fixed on the observation tower, due to its clever design, the crossbow can swing freely back and forth, left and right, and can be easily aimed and shot. Barton's grandfather used the crossbow to shoot off a scale from Smaug's heart.

Originally, this wind crossbow was prepared for the black arrow. It is powerful and accurate, and is a special dragon-slaying weapon.

Richard picked up the black arrow, then took out a golden carving knife and quickly carved on it. Soon, runes appeared on it. Richard carved the runes of [Armor Breaker], [Sharp] and [Precise] on the black arrow.

The already sharp black arrow was even more powerful this time. Richard believed that even if the black arrow didn't accurately hit Smaug's weak spot without scales, it could still kill him directly.

Then he restored the black arrow to its original appearance and put it back. Only then did he leave Bud's cabin. Half an hour after Richard left, Bud opened his eyes from his sleep.

"What happened? Why did I fall asleep? Was I too tired yesterday?" Bud rubbed his head and said, "It seems I need to rest earlier next time."

Bud didn't suspect anything, after all, he was just a poor guy with a son. No one would care about them, not even the residents of the town.

Bard's grandfather used to be the lord of Dale. After Dale was destroyed, many people condemned Barton's grandfather, saying that he did not try his best to protect the town and did not use the wind crossbow to kill Smaug, which eventually caused them to lose their homes and become refugees.
