Perhaps the kind-hearted Duke Stark did not expect that Gu Xiaoheng, Baron of the Shire, would encounter such difficulties because he was not familiar with the situation in the Shire. After all, in the past few decades (that is, during the period when he was the Duke)

) The Shire has never been invaded by foreign enemies.

But today, the world has changed, and winter is coming! The threat of the dead and other dark creatures is more powerful than ever, and all living people will do their best to seek shelter from more powerful military forces.

Regarding this, even the Hobbits, who have always lived their lives in peace and contentment, are no exception!

Just as all the sheriffs and mayors were anxiously waiting for Gu Xiaoheng's reaction to their excessive demands, they saw Gu Xiaoheng burst into laughter.

"What! Your request is quite simple. It is not difficult for me to complete it."

Isn’t it difficult to accomplish? The Hobbit managers present looked at me and I looked at you. They were all a bit confused by Gu Xiaoheng’s words.

"By the way, on the way to Bilbo's house, I saw a big statue erected in the town square. It's quite tall and majestic! Do any of you know his origin?"

Upon hearing Gu Xiaoheng's almost off-topic question, an old mayor, the oldest and most knowledgeable among the hobbits present, raised his hand to indicate that he knew the answer to the question.

"If you are asking about the giant stone statue in the center of the square that looks as tall as the high wall, Lord Baron, then you may be asking the right person. Regarding that stone statue, there is a very ridiculous legend passed down from my grandparents.

, they said that this tall and mighty stone statue came from a distant country - a stone statue sculptor in the Kingdom of Demacia. It is rumored that these stone statues will come to life when magic appears around them. But the problem is that so many years have passed.

Yes, countless magicians have visited the Shire and cast magic but they have never brought it to life. Do you think this legend is ridiculous?"

Hearing this, all the hobbits present at the meeting were laughing so hard that they almost couldn't close their mouths from ear to ear, as if they had heard some funny joke. Only Gu Xiaoheng, who still maintained his serious attitude, raised objections.

"It's not ridiculous, gentlemen. Because those ridiculous magicians all use the wrong magic, or in other words, their magic is used in the wrong place!! Maeve, come and help me-"

As soon as the words fell, the Hobbits saw gorgeous curtains of holy light appearing in front of their eyes. The dancing holy light elements were flipping up and down with Maeve's slender white fingers and weaving them into a very cool curtain.

of magic enchantment.

Maeve, who has absorbed a lot of the heavenly blessing power originally stored in the teleportation crystal, has already restored her power to a level far stronger than before.

boom--

Along with the earthquake, the hobbits who were still in the square looked at the giant sculpture that had been standing in the square for hundreds or thousands of years in surprise.

I wonder if they were dazzled and saw it wrong. It seems that the decorative colossus sculpture just seemed to have really moved?

As soon as this absurd idea appeared in the minds of the ordinary townspeople who were watching, its owner refuted it at the speed of light.

What are you thinking? How can stone sculptures come to life like living beings? They are not elemental creatures...

Let's turn our perspective back to Bilbo's house at Bag End.

When the earthquake from the square reached the feet of the hobbit officials, their expressions suddenly became a little unbelievable.

However, under everyone's suspicious and anxious gazes, Gu Xiaoheng finally recited the magic spell that brought him countless surprises.

"Shidun is dispatched! It's time to wake up. The big guy in Shire will be protecting me next!"

Bang bang bang bang——

A roar like muffled thunder came from the direction of the square.

Following the sound and looking toward the square from the window, the hobbits realized where the shadow that had just fallen over everyone's heads came from - the giant statue that had been placed in the square for hundreds of thousands of years now had a pair of wings behind it covering the sky.

Stand upright to block the sun.

Almost half of the town can only crawl under its shadow fearfully at this moment!

Just as described in the legend, this forbidden demon stone colossus came to life.

And for such a miraculous, almost miraculous scene, the Hobbits who witnessed all the processes in person knew very well that all this was thanks to Gu Xiaoheng, the newly appointed Baron of the Shire.

"This... this is simply a miracle!" A Hobbit mayor muttered incoherently.

Looking at the shivering and stammering hobbits who didn't know what to say, Gu Xiaoheng clapped his hands happily, and then said pretentiously:

"Look, let me tell you, it's very simple to make this stone statue come alive! Then who can tell me, do you have any extra similar colossus sculptures?"

Hearing this, the hobbits present were completely Spartan.

When it comes to feelings, the human Baron Charles is still a master with vast magical powers, and even a Forbidden Demon Stone Colossus can't satisfy his appetite.
