Chapter 341 The One Ring is Mine
Richard's figure fell from the sky and landed on the body of the fire dragon Smaug, then he gently waved his hand and took the dragon's body into his private space. Such a fire dragon corpse is a top-quality material.

After dealing with the fire dragon, Richard came to the observation deck.

"Are you a wizard?" He saw Richard's figure clearly just now, especially the scene where Richard smashed Smaug down with a hammer.

Richard nodded slightly and said, "You can say that."

"Now that Changhu Town has been destroyed by the fire dragon, what are you going to do?"

"I don't know either." Bard said as he looked at Changhu Town engulfed in flames.

"Go find those dwarves. Smaug is dead, but there is still countless gold in Lonely Mountain. You killed Smaug, so you have the right to distribute the spoils. With money, these people can survive and rebuild a new home." Richard said.

Bud's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said gratefully, "Thank you for your advice."

"But you'd better be prepared for a fight. It's common for dwarves to break their promises." Richard said, "Or you can unite with the elves."

"I understand what you mean!" Bud nodded.

Richard nodded slightly, then summoned a flying carpet and left directly. He was going to find Bilbo and ask for his One Ring to study.

It is said that a part of Sauron's soul is integrated into the One Ring, so it should be a soul-bound equipment.

Under Richard's guidance, Bard immediately organized the townspeople to rescue themselves and formed a temporary army through rescue. By shooting the dragon and organizing self-rescue actions, Bard gained great reputation among the townspeople.

At the same time, he successfully took control of an army, and now he has become the de facto lord of Changhu Town. As for the original mayor, he was captured by Bard, and even his ill-gotten gains were distributed to the townspeople by Bard.

Now Bard can be said to be the one that everyone expects.

Smaug's death affected many people. After seeing Smaug's death, the dwarves cheered immediately. They successfully recaptured the Lonely Mountain! Although Smaug was killed by others, and even Lake Town was destroyed by Smaug, what does this have to do with them, the dwarves?
Thorin held the Arkenstone, known as the Heart of the Mountains, and his desires grew.

"What's mine, it's all mine!"

"This is all mine!"

"I am the King of the Lonely Mountain!"

Thorin once again fell into greed and madness like his ancestors, but the surrounding dwarves did not notice this and were still in excitement.

On the other hand, Bilbo was also very happy that he had successfully completed this epic adventure.

"Bilbo." A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Who's calling me?" Bilbo looked around subconsciously.

"It's me." Richard's figure appeared before their eyes. At the same time, a spell concealed their figures. From the outside, nothing here had changed.

"Richard, it's you!" Bilbo was very surprised and gave Richard a hug.

"It's me." Richard patted Bilbo and continued, "Thorin's madness has begun to act up. You have to be careful next time."

"Madness?" Bilbo was a little surprised.

"Yes, madness. He will become as greedy, insatiable, and stupid as a dragon. They will surely clash with the humans and elves next."

"You have the amulet with you, so he can't hurt you. By the way, let me see the ring in your hand."

"Do you know the ring?" Bilbo subconsciously picked up the ring from his pocket, and a voice sounded in his mind.

'Don't give it to him, he'll take your treasure!'

'He's cheating on you, he's trying to take your baby.'

'With the ring, you can rule the world, you can do anything.'

"What should I do with the world?" said Bilbo, not interested in the future described by the ring.

The naturally optimistic Hobbits were not interested in ruling the world, having treasures, or being omnipotent, and the temptation of the One Ring had almost no effect on them.

Bilbo handed the One Ring directly to Richard.

Seeing the Supreme Magic Ring on his hand, Richard sneered: "What? Still want to seduce me?"

Richard felt the voice of temptation constantly ringing in his mind, and his heart was not moved at all. He had practiced with a cloud climbing monk for twenty years and gained the two abilities of [Steel Will] and [Extraordinary Perception].

This was also the reason why he was able to go to the Succubus Queen to have a party. Moreover, with the spell of [Mechanized Mind], the temptation of the One Ring was nothing more than a spring breeze to him.

You want to rule Middle-earth with just one ring? Your boss Sauron has been beaten to a pulp, and your boss' boss Morgoth is still in prison.

Even in this state, you still clamor to rule Middle-earth. Even if you, Sauron, win once, it doesn't matter, the Creator God will not stand by you, and you will still be in trouble in the end.

"System, scan this Supreme Magic Ring!"

"Scanning, please wait." A ray of light instantly enveloped the Supreme Magic Ring.

"Scanning completed. Generating data"

[Name: Supreme Magic Ring; Level: Mythical Level 1

Materials: Gold, Mithril, Mountain Copper, Soul Crystal, etc.
Effect: Whisper of the Evil God: The wearer will be subject to some willpower judgment every hour. If the judgment fails, the wearer will be bewitched by the Ringwraiths and become a slave of the Ringwraiths.

Immortality (evil): Wearing the ring and being bewitched by the Ringwraiths will cause one to be distorted by the power of the ring and transformed into a monster with greatly increased vitality.

Invisibility: Wearing the ring allows you to enter the spirit world and become invisible.

Bonds: Possessing the One Ring can control the Nine Rings of Humans, influence the Seven Rings of Dwarves, and connect the Three Rings of Elves.

Immortality: After the death of the physical body, the soul will be controlled by the One Ring and become an immortal Ringwraith.

Concentration: The difficulty of casting spells is reduced and the power of magic is enhanced.

The One Ring has the power of all the human rings and some of the power of the dwarven rings. Richard looked at the effect of the One Ring and found that the power of the One Ring itself was not too strong, but it could have the power of all the human rings. Sauron originally taught the method of making the ring in order to control humans, dwarves and elves.

The One Ring has all the powers of the Nine Rings of Men and the Seven Rings of Dwarves. Only the Three Rings of the Elves were not controlled by Sauron. Therefore, the One Ring does not have the power of the Three Rings of Elf Tears.

But even so, with the power of the Nine Rings of Humans and the Seven Rings of Dwarves, the One Ring is also very powerful. You know, the Ring is small to begin with, and the space for engraving runes is limited. As a result, Sauron actually came up with this method.

Using one magic ring to control nineteen secondary rings almost increases the power of one ring by nineteen times, and those nineteen secondary rings can also be used by other people.

This Soran is a genius!

After getting the Supreme Ring, Richard also understood why the Supreme Ring was so tempting. With nineteen rings stacked together, ordinary people could not resist it at all.

Richard began to let the system analyze the One Ring in detail and infer the forging method of the One Ring. At the same time, he also planned to get the Nine Rings of Humanity. With the Nine Rings of Humanity and the One Ring for analysis and deduction, the design drawings of the complete ring could definitely be deduced. Or he could capture Sauron and directly extract his memory.

Although Soran was still powerful at this time, only his soul was left, so it was not too difficult to capture him. Moreover, he still had divinity, and Richard deduced that there were at least five points.

Creatures with more than five points of divinity are demigods, and those with less than five points are divine creatures. As the most powerful Maia, Soran's strength must be more than this.

Richard sealed the power of the One Ring.

"Bilbo, this ring was made by Sauron. He forged the One Ring with a part of his soul, and used it to control the nine most powerful kings in human history. He wanted to rule the world, but ultimately failed under the attack of the coalition of elves, humans, and dwarves."

"The voice you heard was the Ringwraiths tempting you to fall. If you are tempted, you will become the Gollum you saw under the Goblin's lair."

"Is it so terrible?" Bilbo couldn't help feeling scared when he thought of Gollum's appearance.

"That Gollum is one of your kind, a Hobbit. He was eventually transformed by the Ring into that form, a monster with a long lifespan."

"I don't want this ring anymore!" Bilbo was so scared that the ring on his hand almost fell off, and he quickly stuffed the ring to Richard.

"Richard, you are a wizard, you must have a way to deal with Him, right?"

"I will seal it up!" Richard said with a smile, "Don't worry, the One Ring has not succeeded in tempting you to fall during this period, so it will not be able to tempt you for the time being. Of course, it also has weaknesses. Putting magic-sealing metal into it will trap it to death."

Richard said as he took out a heavy metal box made of high-purity anti-magic metal.

Then he placed the Supreme Ring in it, and in an instant, the power of the Supreme Ring was imprisoned in the box. As the box closed, the voices of temptation and threat that had been constantly in his ears also disappeared.

Bilbo was relieved to feel that the tempting voice in his mind had disappeared. Although he had resisted the temptation of the One Ring, it was still annoying to have a voice buzzing in his mind like a fly.

"Well, finally I don't have to endure that sound anymore." Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad you're okay. They're going to fulfill their promise next. You go and take a look. If you need anything, you can call me through the amulet I gave you." After saying that, Richard waved at him, and then disappeared into the air.

Richard found a place to dispose of Smaug's body. There are still many good things on a legendary fire dragon.

Scales, blood, bones, flesh, tendons, claws, hearts, eyes, etc. These are all excellent materials. Blood can be made into magic ink screens and dragon blood potions, scales can be made into armor or amulets, claws can be made into weapons, and eyes can be made into magic items.

Misty Mountains.

The orc army has begun to advance towards the Lonely Mountain. A dark cloud in the sky is flying towards them quickly. When it gets closer, it is discovered that the cloud is actually countless bats gathered together.

"Woooooo~"

Heavy horns sounded, and a large number of well-equipped orc armies poured out from the Fortress Night of Gundabad.

"Full speed ahead!"

On the other side, in the wilderness not far from Lonely Mountain, there were constant rumbling sounds and a lot of vibrations coming from the ground. Suddenly, a huge and ferocious monster emerged from the ground.

The monster had a terrifying huge mouth full of spiral teeth, which could crush anything as big as a millstone. The monster was over three meters in diameter and over ten meters long, looking like a giant worm.

The worm shook off a lot of rubble, then burrowed into the ground again and began to dig a subterranean passage beneath the earth.

A large number of orcs came out of the cave, and then followed the opened passage again.

The giants, about seven or eight meters tall, were carrying a catapult on their backs. The heavy catapult was fixed on their bodies and could easily throw hundreds of pounds of boulders hundreds of meters away.

Behind them were a large number of ogres, siege beasts, etc. The entire army was a group of elite troops, ready to capture the Lonely Mountain in one fell swoop.

On the other side of the hillside, two elves looked at the army in front of them with serious expressions.

"We must go back and report immediately!" Two elven scouts rode their horses quickly towards the woodland forest.

The town of Changhu has become a ruin. The townspeople came to the original River Valley City under the command of Bard. As for the original mayor and his assistant, they have been ordered to be killed by Bard.

After being persuaded by Richard, Bud was no longer confused. He understood that if he wanted to control River Valley Town, he had to kill all opponents and threats, so this time he showed no mercy and just kept him under guard.

After seeing the ruins of Riverdale, Bard immediately took a few soldiers to Lonely Mountain, hoping that the dwarves would fulfill their promise and pay them gold and food.

But the dwarves didn't have any extra food, and Thorin didn't want to give them gold, so he refused with the excuse that he was counting the gold treasures.

Bard could only lead everyone back to the ruins of River Valley Town.

Just as Bard and his men returned to the ruins, the elves arrived. Thranduil led the elven army to the ruins of Dale City, marching in neat steps to the left and right.

The discipline of these woodland elves can be said to be no weaker than that of the valley elves, and the entire elven army is as orderly as one.

Soon, the elves came to the streets and began to distribute food and supplies to the refugees. The arrival of the elves immediately won the cheers of the townspeople.

Bard saw everything in front of him and said excitedly: "Thank you for your generosity, Your Majesty! We will always remember your helping hand."

The elves brought a large amount of food, which directly solved the food crisis in Long Lake Town.

"It's just a piece of cake." Thranduil didn't care about these questions and said directly: "I came here to get my things back."

"You have something here? Maybe I can help." Bud said.
