Wizard: This witcher is not doing his job properly

Chapter 250 Fenghuo and the Crisis in Changhu Town

It is well known that the woodland elves of Mirkwood and the dwarves of the Lonely Mountain are at odds with each other.

The Woodland Kingdom regards the Lonely Mountain Dwarves as thieves and liars because they were unwilling to return the necklace of the Woodland Elf King's deceased wife as agreed, and even raised the price without complying with the contract.

The dwarves of the Lonely Mountain were resentful because the woodland elves did not save them when Smaug attacked the Lonely Mountain.

As soon as the two races met, they immediately became tense.

However, unlike the original work, this expedition has Mr. Wayne, who is not short of money, as the logistics. In today's expedition team, every dwarf is equipped with a mount, sophisticated armor and various weapons. They are not unarmed like in the original work.

Although the number of woodland elves appearing in the surroundings was much greater than that of the expedition team, the deathclaw's thunderous roar and the terrifying size of the eight-meter-tall beast had already made these woodland elves understand that the other party was not It's so easy to mess with, it makes people feel like they don't know where to start.

The two sides held weapons and looked at each other. No one dared to relax, and there was a sense of tension.

But at this time, the leader of this elf team was a very handsome and delicate male elf named Legolas, the prince of the Woodland Elf Kingdom, nicknamed Green Leaf.

This elf prince has a very brave character and hates evil. Even when facing the more powerful Death Claw, he has no fear. After the two sides observed, he did not blame Wayne for his action just now, but just observed him with cautious eyes. After a while, he asked everyone in a serious tone:

"Who are you? This is the territory of the Woodland Kingdom. Outsiders are not allowed to act randomly here."

As he spoke, he looked at Thorin and the other dwarves, his tone full of suspicion.

"I have seen you, Thorin Oakenshield, and the other dwarves. You left the Lonely Mountain a long time ago. What do you want to do when you come back now?"

Although Legolas's tone was not aggressive, the elves' arrogant temperament still made the dwarves feel uncomfortable.

But this time, Thorin did not act too irritable, and there was also the gray robe wizard Gandalf in the team. Before the two sides really provoked a conflict, the old man with white beard stood up and attacked the elf. The prince said:

"Dear Elf Prince, I am Gandalf the Gray Wizard."

"We are old friends with your father, Thranduil."

"Please don't get me wrong, our purpose this time is just to go to the Lonely Mountain, and we will not do anything in the Woodland Kingdom that will affect the Woodland Elves."

Seeing Gandalf taking the initiative to stand up, Legolas' expression softened slightly and he looked at the gray robe wizard seriously.

As an outstanding prince, he has read many books and knows that from ancient times to the present, every time he fights against the forces of darkness, there are always a group of wizards who have made silent efforts, so this elf prince still respects Gandalf quite a bit. .

He thought for a few seconds, then waved his hand, and the elf guards around him also put away their weapons.

Legolas bowed slightly to Gandalf and said politely:

"Welcome, gray robe wizard."

"If these people are all your friends, I invite you to attend our banquet."

"Today is the day when we hold a banquet in the palace. I believe that my father also welcomes you."

Although it was an invitation to a banquet, perhaps the dwarves felt unhappy because of the arrogant attitude of the Elf Prince. Before Thorin could speak, several other dwarves immediately shouted:

"We will not attend the elves' banquet."

"Who knows if the elves have any conspiracy, they are not good people at all."

"Yes, they refused to save our people and allowed us to suffer heavy casualties under Smaug's dragon flames."

Although the voices of the dwarves were not loud, the elves had very good hearing and everyone could hear clearly.

The dwarves in Middle-earth are like this. They are paranoid and stubborn, petty thieves, and very greedy for money. It is precisely because of various character flaws, coupled with birth problems, that the two races of dwarves and elves are always divided. Together they create many conflicts.

Seeing that the dwarves' words were getting more and more unpleasant, and the faces of the surrounding elves were getting more and more ugly, Gandalf quickly coughed loudly, interrupting the dwarves' complaints.

However, at this awkward moment, a slender female elf wearing a green robe, carrying a bow and arrow on her back, suddenly jumped from a distance to the Elf Prince Legolas and whispered in his ear Bian whispered:

"Legolas, we have to get back to the palace quickly."

"The beacon fire in the west has been lit. Judging from the signal, there should be a problem in Changhu Town."

"King Thranduil will definitely summon us."

When Legolas heard this, his expression changed. He bowed slightly to Gandalf and saluted, and said in a regretful tone:

"Sorry, gray robe wizard, there is a military emergency in the Woodland Kingdom. Please forgive me for not being able to accompany you back to the palace."

After saying this, regardless of whether everyone in the expedition team agreed or not, the Elf Prince left a guard to lead them. After apologizing, he jumped onto the branch and left quickly with the other guards.

Only the elf guard and the members of the expedition team were left looking at each other.

However, as a witcher, Wayne's hearing was much better than others, and he had already heard the conversation between the female elf and Legolas.

He was a little surprised. According to the female elf, it seemed that there was danger in Changhu Town, so the elves lit the beacon.

But in his memory, there should have been no problems in Lake Town until Smaug flew out of the Lonely Mountain and the orc army invaded. Although it was poor, it had not been disturbed by war.

Thinking this, he turned to Gandalf and Thorin and said:

"You go to the palace of the woodland elves first. Smaug is the enemy of all the forces in the north. Maybe we can reach cooperation with the woodland elves."

"However, I will go to Feng Huo Liang's side to take a look first. After the matter is over, I will come back to you."

Thorin hesitated when he heard the words, but looked at the elf guard beside him and still did not speak.

Gandalf was a little confused about Wayne's purpose, but he didn't stop him. He nodded and told him to be more careful.

Without any further explanation, Wayne drove the magic flying carpet into the sky, and at the same time whistled to Robin on the ground. After hearing this, the big guy immediately spread his legs and ran wildly.

One person and one pet are flying in the sky and the other is running on the ground, but their speed is very fast, much faster than the speed of the woodland elves.

After flying in the direction of Changhu Town for about half an hour, Wayne was able to barely see what was happening there because he flew high enough.

I saw a small town built of wood and located by the lake. Many places were already ignited by flames.

The witcher's excellent eyesight allowed Wayne to see clearly that a large-scale robbery seemed to be taking place in that small town. A group of people were fighting each other, some were desperately escaping, and some were driving small boats from the lake. Escape.

From a distance, most of the town has fallen and is burning everywhere, but because the distance is too far, even with the eyesight of a demon hunter, it is impossible to see the specific details.

But judging from the size, equipment, and combat style of the raiding team, there is a high probability that it is a group of orcs.

This discovery made Wayne very confused. Why, before the Battle of the Five Armies, would the Orc army attack Long Lake Town in advance?

He thought about it for a long time but didn't think of the answer. The only thing he thought was possible was because he destroyed the Orc town and killed Azog when he was in the Misty Mountains.

It is precisely because of this change from the original work that the current butterfly effect is caused.

However, Wangshan ran to death. Although the speed of the magic flying carpet was much faster than that of a galloping horse, and it could fly straight in the sky, reducing many obstacles, but even so, when he flew to Changhu Town, , several hours have passed.

He almost watched helplessly as the orcs left Changhu Town with large and small bags of loot and groups of prisoners.

Perhaps it is because the purpose of these orcs is not to completely destroy the residents of Changhu Town, but more to rob Changhu Town's supplies and population.

After defeating the few guards and soldiers in Changhu Town, the Orc army did not waste too much time causing massacres, but concentrated on collecting supplies and kidnapping prisoners.

A large amount of food, supplies and the population of the town were packed away by them.

Excluding the killed men and soldiers, the remaining people in the entire town were estimated to be less than a quarter of the original number, and many people were seriously injured. They were lying on the streets and in various buildings, lingering and waiting to die.

Not only that, the orcs were very professional when it came to plundering.

The main buildings of this small town were made of wood. After less than half a day of looting, most of the buildings had been set on fire. The entire town was in flames and was in danger.

After driving the magic flying carpet and landing in Long Lake Town, Wayne only considered it for a moment before giving up the idea of ​​chasing the orcs.

You can kill the orcs anytime you want, but these refugees in the town will probably all be dead if they miss the time.

But looking at it now, there are not many people in the entire town who can stand up. His strength alone is too limited.

Wayne thought for a while, reached into his space bracelet, and immediately took out five white scrolls. These were scrolls he had drawn a long time ago to summon skeleton warriors.

Holding these five scrolls in his hands, after infusing them with magic power, he tossed them casually, and with a few soft bangs, five skeleton warriors holding shields and swords, and made of white bones appeared on the ground. .

Wayne glanced at them and immediately ordered:

"Put down your weapons and move the wounded in the town here."

The eyes of the five skeleton warriors were shining with blue soul fire. After hearing his order, they immediately dropped their shields and swords without any hesitation, and then walked in different directions towards the burning town. Got in.

Wayne sighed. If he didn't have helpers around him, he wouldn't want to use these misleading skeleton warriors to help.

But saving people comes first, and every one can be saved.

Thinking like this, Wayne did not wait for the wounded on the dock where he landed. He also joined the rescue team and rushed into the burning Changhu Town.

The first thing he found was a middle-aged man with a knife in his abdomen. He was wearing a linen vest often worn by workers. He was opening his eyes weakly and covering the wound with his hands, trying to stop more blood from flowing out. Waiting to die.

After seeing him, Wayne walked up to him and slapped him on the face to cheer him up. Then he opened his jaw and filled him with a glass of magic wine flask containing an intermediate healing potion. DaKou took out the needle and thread from his pocket and quickly sewed it up for him.

After about three minutes of treatment, regardless of whether the guy was cured or not, Wayne gave him a roll of bandages and said:

"Band up yourself and go to the open space on the dock to wait for rescue."

"If you can still hold on, you can also go to the town to find other people in need of rescue and bring them to the dock."

After treating the first man, he found another soldier who had been stabbed in the chest and whose left foot was cut off.

However, because of the protection of the armor, the soldier was not fatally injured. He covered his chest with a rag, his face was pale from excessive blood loss, and he was crawling hard in the burning town on his hands and feet. , seemed to be escaping from the surrounding fire.

After seeing him, Wayne didn't say anything. He forced him to drink a large sip of healing potion, and then took out strong liquor to disinfect his broken leg.

The soldier couldn't help but let out a shrill scream as the strong alcohol invaded the wound.

But time was urgent now, and Wayne had no time to be pretentious with him. He directly used his powerful strength to restrain his struggling body and forcibly bandaged his broken leg.

Then he carried the soldier, who was suffering from pain and was in a daze, back to the dock where he first landed.

At this time, the five skeleton warriors he sent out had also brought back five injured people.

However, due to their limited intelligence, two of the five wounded had almost died. They were fatally injured and could not be saved at all. The other three looked horrified because of the terrifying image of the skeleton warrior, until they saw Wayne After that, the originally fearful expression softened slightly.

Wayne just took one look and gave up on the two seriously injured people and began to treat the other three.

Speaking of medical skills, Wayne's skills can only be regarded as very average. At most, he has a little experience in surgery and suturing and bandaging wounds. Most of them were learned from Kaer Morhen.

It has been three or four years since he debuted, and he has basically never suffered any injuries. Treating other people's injuries is only in the theoretical stage.

However, fortunately, the effect of the intermediate healing potion is very powerful. With the vitality of ordinary humans in Middle-earth, as long as the damage is not fatal, a few mouthfuls of the potion will basically start to get better and will not continue to worsen.

Most of the injuries suffered during the war were flesh wounds and external injuries. As long as the wounds were sutured and disinfected to prevent excessive bleeding, most people could be saved.

In this way, from the beginning, one person treated the wounded, and later some of the wounded regained their vitality and assisted Wayne in the treatment. With a commander like him, more and more people began to unite together and help each other.

A few hours later, there were already more than a hundred wounded people in the town, who survived because of his healing potion.

These hungry, cold, panic-stricken survivors, who seemed to have lost their souls, gradually began to gather here because of Wayne's presence, comforting each other, or crying and venting their fears.

Until night fell, the entire town was reduced to ashes due to the ravages of the fire, and the still-burning fire illuminated everyone's face.

After all the wounded who could be treated were carried out of the town, they were handed over to Wayne for treatment. The number of survivors gathered around him reached close to two to three hundred people.

With no food, no shelter, and having gone through the previous great joys and sorrows, the survivors all huddled together, and many fell asleep due to excessive sadness.

Fortunately, as the owner of the space bracelet, Mr. Wayne has no shortage of food. Although it will definitely not be able to supply hundreds of people for a long time, there is still no problem in persisting for a few days.

He took out his food and distributed it to the refugees present. Amidst the profuse thanks from the refugees, he sighed tiredly. In addition to sympathy and intolerance, he felt more disgust for the orcs in his heart.

This was his first close contact with these poor people who had been devastated by the war. After a whole afternoon of treatment, although many people were saved due to the effect of the healing potion, there were still thirty or forty wounded people because their injuries were too serious. , was mortally wounded and died soon after.

When he killed the orcs, Wayne didn't feel any pity or guilt at all. He just thought that he was killing some monsters and beasts.

But when facing these human civilians, he would remember that he was the same race as them.
