Chapter 252 I Have Experience in Prison Escape

"You have seen my sincerity. Now tell me, how to restore his appearance?"

"This sincerity is not enough!" Aaron answered irrelevantly, "Your Highness, we are still in the cell!"

Legolas was stunned for a moment, "If you cure him, I will naturally release you two. I guarantee it in the name of the elven prince."

"What if your father disagrees?"

"I might disobey him for the first time!" Legolas smiled bitterly.

Aaron looked at Legolas's firm expression and nodded thoughtfully, "I have seen your attitude, but your promise means nothing to me. What I need is practical action.

And your father also made the same promise. In other words, your sincerity is only one more dagger than your father. What's the difference between this and getting something for nothing?"

Legolas was silent for a while, raised his head and looked at Aaron, "What else do you want? I will not refuse anything I can do."

"First of all, you must return my wand to me." Aaron said seriously, his tone tolerant.

"Yes, but only after the matter is done."

"Secondly, release the dwarves."

"That won't do."

"Listen to me, release the dwarves except Thorin Oakenshield, this condition is acceptable, right?"

Hearing this, Legolas took a deep breath, "I will try my best to convince my father."

"Go ahead!" Aaron waved his hand, "Before I change my mind."

After Legolas left, Aaron leaned against the prison door calmly, "Done, everything is under control."

"Why are you so confident?" Bilbo looked at Aaron unexpectedly, "The bargaining level is not like a child at all."

"I have received professional training."

Aaron raised his head proudly, but his mood was quite complicated.

Those cram schools were really not in vain, but when I recall them, I shed a lot of bitter tears.

"Gaius, why didn't you save Thorin?" Dwalin asked in a deep voice.

"Can you be a little wiser?" Aaron rolled his eyes at him disdainfully. "The most important thing in negotiation is to know the other party's bottom line. In Thranduil's eyes, Thorin is the treasure of the elves. Do you think he will let him go easily?

I have tried my best to gain benefits for us. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

Dwalin was stunned for a moment. "No matter what, we can't abandon Thorin."

"I was wrong." Aaron scratched his hair. "I thought you were simple-minded and strong-limbed, but now it seems that you really have no brains."

"You..."

"What do you mean you?

If it's just me and Bill If Bilbo is released, then we two will save you all.

But if it is changed to my condition just now, then we fourteen will save Thorin alone.

Which one has a higher success rate? Do I need to tell you?"

"This, this, this..." Dwalin was incoherent, hesitating for a long time, and bowed solemnly to Aaron, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood."

"Aaron, didn't you say there was another way before?" Bilbo asked, "What is it?"

"What can it be? Break out of prison."

"What, break out..."

Bilbo's eyes widened, and he was about to shout out subconsciously.

Aaron quickly covered his mouth, "Brother, take it easy, don't attract the elves."

Bilbo nodded hurriedly and said in a low voice: "Maybe I heard it wrong, you mean jailbreak?"

"Don't worry, I have experience.

Give me some time, this cell can't stop me."

"You have experience in jailbreak?" Bilbo was already a little numb, "What do you do?"

"Sorry, I said it wrong, I don't have experience in jailbreak." Aaron smiled awkwardly, "But the second half of the sentence is true, I am sure I can escape from here."

"How to do it?"

Aaron hesitated for a while, looking at Bilbo with a smile, "Although I'm not a thief, I also know a little about the technique of picking locks."

Hearing this, Bilbo raised his eyebrows and silently distanced himself from Aaron.

"My intuition tells me that you are telling me this for no good reason."

"Uh... I just want you to lend me something to help me unlock the door."

Bilbo smiled awkwardly, "Borrow what? Not hair, right?

That won't work. I tried it when I was a kid, and hair can't unlock the door at all."

"Mr. Baggins, you really have a talent for being a thief. You tried to unlock the door with your hair when you were a kid?

Don't think too much. I'm not interested in your hair. I just want your sword."

"Sting?" Bilbo was confused. "What do you want it for? That sword can't cut through the prison door. Otherwise, Legolas wouldn't be so confident to return it to me."

Aaron didn't say anything. He spent two magic points to buy the wine in the mall and picked out the cork with Sting.

Groin took a deep breath and licked his lips. "Where did the wine come from?"

"Don't worry about the details. It's not difficult to hide something under the eyes of the elves."

"No, I mean this wine is too mellow. I have never drunk such a good wine in my life."

"Aaron." Ou Yin in the next cell stretched out his arm directly, "Give me a sip, just one sip."

"You wish." Aaron blocked the bottle mouth with his fingers directly, "If you drink too much, I will open the cell door and you can't get out.

The few people near the entrance help me to be on guard. Cough if an elf comes."

After that, he used the thorn to cut the cork according to the keyhole on the cell door.

Sawdust flew everywhere. Bilbo stared at Aaron's actions and the quickly formed wooden key in amazement, and wiped his eyes in disbelief.

"You, how can you be so skilled?"

"As an excellent chef, your knife skills and carving skills are both up to the test." Aaron said seriously.

Bilbo:......

Who are you kidding? But I really can't find a reason to refute.

"Dangdangdang!"

In less than two minutes, Aaron had an extra key in his hand, but the back half of the key was half a piece of wood.

"Next is the moment to witness the miracle." Aaron said to Bilbo, carefully inserting the wooden key into the keyhole and turning it slowly.

"Success?"

Bilbo was very excited. Although he could not accept this method, he had to admit that it was still very fragrant when he heard the "click".

Aaron nodded proudly, and just as he was about to push open the cell door, he heard continuous coughing.

Someone is coming?

Aaron was startled, quickly pulled out the key and inserted it into the bottle, and then stuffed the bottle into Bilbo's arms.

After doing all this, he sat down as if nothing had happened, closing his eyes and resting his mind.

Tariel walked down the stairs, and the female elf who looked a little bored stopped at the door of Qili's cell.

She watched Qili gently stroking a black stone and asked curiously, "What is the stone in your hand?"

"This is a rune stone.

It is attached with a powerful spell. Anyone who reads the runes above, except the dwarves, will be cursed forever."

Tariel was startled and was about to turn around and leave.

"Maybe not." Qili said with a smile, "It depends on whether you believe in this kind of thing. It's just a stone.

The rune stone was given to me by my mother to remind me of my promise."

"What promise?"

"I will return to her." Qili played with the stone in his hand, "She is very worried about me and thinks I am reckless."

"Really?"

"No."

When he threw the stone up, he accidentally fell outside the cell and was stepped on by Tariel.

Then Tariel told Qili about the elves' love for light. She was an Eldar elf and liked any light, while the wood elves liked the bright starlight the most.

Tariel imagined the scene of walking under the stars, and Qili also told about the fire moon he saw.

This conversation brought the two closer together, and Tariel returned the stone to Qili.

After she left, Aaron whistled with a smile, "Qili, I take back what I said before, maybe you can really snatch the woman the prince loves."

Qili remained silent, but the upturned corners of his mouth and the slight blush on his cheeks still revealed his joy.

"But I still advise you to be realistic and not pursue her?"

"Why?"

"You are different races!" Aaron spread his hands, "Elves can live for hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands of years or even longer, but what about dwarves?

Unless your life span can reach the same level, otherwise you will just be a passer-by in her life...

In short, if you don't have the diamond drill, don't take the porcelain job, you can't control it."

"Ahem!" Bilbo coughed, "Aaron, what you said makes sense, but everything is a mirage before we escape."

"Yes, the key."

Aaron took the wine from Bilbo, pulled out the cork, and opened the prison door under the gaze of everyone.

"The breath of freedom." Aaron smiled proudly, "I said this door can't hold me."

The dwarves all laughed, and Bilbo was even more excited.

He was about to walk out of the prison door, but was quickly pulled back by Aaron.

"Don't worry, jailbreaking is a big project, opening the door is just the first step." Aaron said patiently, "There are elves everywhere outside. Once we are discovered, we will be caught soon."

"What should we do?"

Aaron patted his shoulder and said meaningfully: "It's up to you, top-notch thief."

Hearing the words "top-notch thief", Bilbo immediately reacted. He could use the magic ring to become invisible, and it was not impossible for him to find the best evacuation route in this woodland kingdom.

"I will find the way."

"And the key." Balin reminded immediately, "The key to our prison door."

"Got it, I'll get it."

"And weapons." Dwalin added, "Anything can be missing, but weapons must not be missing."

"And wine." Groin said, "It would be even better if there is food."

"Hey, hey, hey, don't go too far." Aaron couldn't listen any more, and turned to look at Bilbo, whose face was dark, "Don't listen to them, it's a blessing to find the key and the way.

But if you can, bring my wand back."

Bilbo sighed helplessly, "I'll try my best!"

After leaving everyone's sight, Bilbo put on the magic ring and entered the invisible state.

He was cautious all the way, not daring to make any sound. After wandering around for most of the day, he finally found the elf with the key to the prison door and followed him into the wine cellar.
