Start with the Lord of the Rings

Long Lake Town is silent late at night.

The screeching sound from the weapons storeroom was especially harsh on this night.

"Quick, the weapons warehouse."

"There are thieves"

"Catch the thief"

"quick!"

"Have you finally waited for those people?"

"Rush me all in."

"Don't let one go"

The dwarf Kili fell, and the weapon in his arms fell to the ground for a short time.

The originally dark houses around the weapons warehouse quickly lit up with bright lights.

A large number of voices and footsteps were heard from outside immediately.

As if prepared for this.

"Run!"

Thorin Oak Shield's complexion suddenly changed, and with a loud roar, he was about to run to the window he had passed through.

"whoosh"

An arrow shot in immediately from the window below.

Sorin Oak Shield flew past in front of his eyes in an instant, and slammed into the wooden board above the window.

Thorin Oak Shield immediately stopped, looking at the arrow in front of him, his expression extremely ugly.

If he was just taking a quick step, the arrow would not hit the wooden board but his body.

Seeing that the window could not escape, Bilbo and Boffer immediately wanted to run downstairs.

"bang bang bang"

Suddenly, the sound of breaking the door came from below.

In a moment, the entire dark weapons warehouse was quickly illuminated by a large number of torches into daylight.

A fully armed human soldier armed with a sharp lance and a long sword quickly poured into the weapons warehouse.

The archer with the long bow followed closely behind him, and the bow and arrow were aimed at the crowd.

Seeing such a big battle, the dwarves immediately dared not move.

At this moment, even Morgan did not dare to move.

He still wanted to force himself when Kili fell just now.

Now it is not necessary.

However, these town guards in Changhu Town actually have such a reaction speed.

It can only show that they are well prepared for this.

Morgan couldn't think of any other possibilities.

Yes, the mayor of Long Lake and the vile Clerk Everd stared so closely at Bud.

Why not carefully guard the only arsenal in town that holds weapons.

This time, the expedition team members were regarded as Tibald and they lay their guns.

In just a short time, Morgan quickly figured it all out.

Of course, the possibility of Bard's whistle-blower who might have found out Thorin Oakenshield's identity could not be ruled out.

However, this possibility can only be possible.

Morgan believed that Bud would not do such a thing.

You must know that in the plot of his memory, everyone in the expedition team failed to steal weapons and was captured.

Bud rushed to persuade the residents of Long Lake Town to confront Thorin Oak Shield and others.

After being humiliated by everyone present, he was still able to take in the dwarf Kili when he was seriously injured and desperate, and tried to heal him.

From here you can see the character of Bud.

This is why Morgan is willing to befriend Bud.

There is no possibility of Bud's whistleblowing, there is only the first reason.

"Walk"

"Come on."

"I know these dwarves are not honest"

"Short, bearded and ferocious"

"What happened"

"My God, what's wrong with these dwarves."

"I heard that I was caught stealing weapons"

"Shh, be quiet."

"I heard that dwarves killed people"

"Hey, didn't you say you were caught stealing something?"

"."

On the roads on both sides of Changhu Town, many residents who were awakened by the battle of the town guards got up and opened the doors to watch and discuss.

The world's entertainment activities have been pitiful.

Especially the lower class civilians, in addition to making people at night, they almost always turn off the lights and go to sleep.

It's as lively as this evening, and it also involves the rarity of dwarves, which I haven't encountered once in many years.

So when the town guards pressed the expedition team to the mayor's mansion.

Along the way, I followed a large number of residents of Changhu Town, and the chatting in the back was very lively, comparable to the New Year.

In the crowd, a small figure looked at the large team that was going away, squeezed out the crowd with force, and ran quickly to the house.

At this time, Bud was sitting in front of the oil lamp at home, frowning.

Hearing the door suddenly opened, his son Baan ran in panting and said loudly: "Dad, the dwarves in the daytime were all caught by the town guards, and I heard that they were caught stealing weapons from the weapons depot. "

"I also saw Uncle Morgan, and he was caught with the dwarves."

Baan stood in front of his father and finished speaking in one breath.

I heard the crisp voice of my sister Tilda from the cot in the corner: "Uncle Morgan?"

"Brother, have you seen Uncle Morgan? Where is he?"

Hearing his son's words, Bud immediately couldn't sit still.

Immediately got up and held Baan's shoulder and said, "You take care of your sister at home."

After speaking, Bud immediately strode out, slammed the door, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

The tallest building in Changhu Town.

The large square in front of the mayor's mansion was extremely lively and noisy at this time.

The town guards escorted the expedition team very quietly.

The residents of Changhu Town who followed behind to watch the excitement were even more noisy.

Braga, the commander of the town guard, said a few words to the guards who were guarding outside the town mayor's gate.

The guards knocked on the gate of the mayor's mansion immediately.

Soon, everyone saw the bloated and cursing Lord Mayor, and the despicable clerk Alford, who was always in a dark suit, walking out.

"What the hell is going on, what are you arguing about?"

The mayor looked at the crowd below, and then he looked at the commander of the town guard, Braga, in front of the square below, and shouted loudly.

"My lord, we have caught the dwarves trying to steal weapons from the arsenal."

Braga looked up and said respectfully.

"A weapon in our arsenal?"

"Look at this, it's the public enemy of the whole people!"

A quick glance at the bottom of the square was full of residents of Changhu Town. The mayor was delighted and decided to try this matter well, just to gain his reputation among the commoners.

"My lord, these are a group of desperate mercenaries."

Secretary Everd looked at the dwarves below and said with a sneer.

At this moment, Everd saw the human behind the dwarf who was outstanding in both height and stature.

The man who had insulted him early in the morning with Bud, the lowly boatman.

The so-called noble guest of the dark jungle, at this time, was actually standing with the dwarves and was arrested.

The moment he looked at Morgan, Everd's eyes lit up immediately.

So Alfred immediately approached the mayor and said in a low voice, "My lord, I saw the Gloomy Forest guest who slandered your lord that morning. It's that human being."

Alfred reached out to Morgan in the crowd, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect the dwarf's irritable Godvarin to finally be able to bear it.

Devalin came out of the dwarf battle and looked at the two on the steps, especially the wretched guy in a black suit with a hunchback and a shriveled neck: "Speak with respect!"

"Do you know who you're talking to?"

"We are not mercenaries, let alone outlaws."

Devalin spoke unceremoniously, and pointed at Thorin Oakenshield in the crowd.

"Do you know the Kingdom under the Mountain?"

"He is Thorne's son, Thor's grandson!"

"Sorin!"

Devalin's loud shouts fell, and there were some chattering noises in the crowd immediately.

The Kingdom under the Mountain was once under the Lonely Mountain opposite the Long Lake.

These residents of Changhu Town are no strangers.

The interesting stories of the king's noble family are very popular among the commoners.

Not to mention the Yamashita Kingdom that was once so close.

Thorin Thorne's name may not be known to many Long Lake residents.

But the name of the King of the Mountain, Thor, is very familiar.

Dewalin's opening naturally caused some discussions among the residents who knew these names.

At this time, Thorin Oakenshield stepped forward under the introduction of Dwarin.

"We are the dwarves of Elub."

"We are here to regain the lost kingdom."

Thorin Oak Shield walked to the front of the square, looked around the crowd, and said in a deep voice.

Speaking of which, Thorin Oakenshield is really selling well.

Tall, of course, in relation to dwarfs.

He was tall, strong, handsome, and determined. Just by looking at his stature and appearance, he knew that Thorin Oakenshield had an extraordinary bloodline.

The voice fell, and the discussion in the surrounding crowd who could clearly see the appearance of Thorin Oak Shield grew louder.

Even the mayor of Changhu Town above the steps, and the wretched secretary Aifud beside him were somewhat stunned.

That was the once extremely powerful and wealthy mountain dwarf kingdom.

Facing even the destitute king under the mountain, it is far from something that a dilapidated Changhu mayor and secretary in this district can compare and provoke.

Thorin. Oak Shield not to mention the other, the appearance and momentum are all good.

Coupled with the growth over the years, he is also outstanding in terms of acting skills.

Realizing the effect, Thorin Oak Shield immediately acted in his true colors: "I used to remember the prosperity of Long Lake Town."

"At that time, there was a large fleet of ships moored by the lake."

"Ships full of precious silks and gems"

"Here, Changhu Town, it's not as dilapidated as it is now, like the ruins by the lake!"

"This used to be the trading center of the North."

Thorin Oak Shield looked at the crowd around him and spoke in a deep voice.

This made the surrounding poor and needy bottom-level residents of Changhu Town too emotional and immersive.

So, following Thorin Oakenshield's speech, the surrounding crowd's discussion grew louder.

"I will rekindle the great fortress of the dwarves"

"From the king's hall in Elub, a great quantity of gold and silver treasures have been brought."

"I can let Changhu Town, let this place, return to prosperity and prosperity!"

Thorin Oakenshield's loud voice fell.

The chatter of the surrounding civilians grew louder and louder.

"die!"

"You only brought death!"

Just when Thorin Oakenshield's speech successfully aroused the hope, desire and extravagance in the hearts of the residents of Long Lake Town.

A sudden, harsh voice came in from outside the crowd immediately.

Hearing this voice, Morgan sighed slightly in his heart.

Bud came as he remembered the plot.

But Morgan wouldn't say anything.

He is a winner, and nothing can stop him.

Soon, everyone saw Bud walking in from the crowd, looking at Thorin Oak Shield on the square and said solemnly: "Death, Dragon Flame, and Destruction!"

"That's what you can bring!"

"If you wake up the giant dragon, you will only ruin everyone and Changhu Town."

Bud looked directly at Thorin Oak Shield in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Although the troublesome human boatman appeared unexpectedly.

But Thorin Oakenshield knew that he had aroused the hope and greed of all the commoners around him.

Next, you just need to stimulate and maintain the greed of the surrounding crowd and the mayor of Changhu Town on the steps.

"You can listen to him, but."

"But I can assure everyone present!"

Thorin Oak Shield looked around and said solemnly to the crowd: "As long as I succeed, I will definitely share with you the huge treasure in the Lonely Mountain."

"By then you will have enough gold and silver treasures!"

"Even if this place is destroyed, you can rebuild it, even ten times is enough!"

Thorin Oakenshield roared loudly.

At this moment, with the assurance of the new King of the Mountain, all the residents finally couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately cheered.

They had forgotten what they were here for in the first place.

All they knew was to trust the assurances of this sudden king under the mountain.

Anyway, they won't lose anything, and they still have the opportunity to become rich. What reason do they have to be unhappy and not cheer?

"Why should we believe you?"

"Trust your guarantee?"

At this moment, the cunning clerk Iford poured down a basin of cold water.

"We know nothing about you!"

"Who here can guarantee your personality, your credibility, and your guarantee?"

Everd's voice fell.

The whole square fell silent in an instant.

Yes, if no one can prove that this dwarf can claim that he is the king of the mountain, then he can also say that he is the mayor of Changhu Town.

The whole square was quiet and silent, and everyone looked at Thorin Oak Shield.

If he can't find someone to prove that he is the real king under the mountain, then everything he tried to win before will be invalid in an instant.

Once there is no halo, he can only join the entire expedition and be imprisoned in the Longhu Town prison for theft and deception.

But this kind of guarantee is not something that just anyone can do.

First, it can't be a dwarf.

Who knows if they will be together.

At this time, there are only two people in the square who are qualified.

One of course is Morgan.

As a human, as long as Morgan is willing to vouch for Thorin Oakenshield, the humans around him will believe it even more.

The other, of course, was Bilbo.

As a Hobbit, Bilbo was naturally qualified to guarantee Thorin Oakenshield's identity.

With Bilbo around, Morgan was naturally not interested in vouching for Thorin Oakenshield.

He clearly remembered what Thorin Oakenshield said when Smaug died and Bud wanted to claim the castle promised by Thorin Oakenshield for the residents of Long Lake Town.

Perhaps the current Thorin Oakenshield really has the idea of ​​sharing a part of the treasure to the residents of Long Lake Town.

But after Thorin successfully captured the mountain-like treasure in the Lonely Mountain.

Thorin. Oakenshield changed.

Morgan didn't want to vouch for an untrustworthy person.

Leave it to Bilbo.

Anyway, he opened the mouth in the memory plot.

The square continued to be quiet and silent.

Just when everyone quickly consumed the few patience.

"I!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.

"I can vouch for Sorin."

Bilbo stepped out of the crowd and stood in front of the square, just as he was about to speak, he heard the question from Evred above, "Aren't you a dwarf?"

"No, I'm The Hobbit."

Bilbo's voice fell.

The surrounding voices of discussion immediately came to mind.

"What The Hobbit?"

"It's actually a halfling."

"What is a halfling?

"The Hobbits are also called halflings, and they seem to live in the Western Shire of the world."

"I've only seen it in books before, this is the first time I've seen a halfling"

"He seems to be no different from the dwarves."

"No, there are still some differences, you see he doesn't have a beard"

"It also looks cleaner."

"I said we humans are good looking."

"of course."

The constant chatter around said Bilbo's identity.

Everd was speechless.

Seeing this, Bilbo continued loudly: "I have traveled with these dwarves for a long time, and have experienced many dangers."

"I know what Thorin is like, and if he says what he promises, he will definitely keep it."

As soon as the voice fell, Bilbo confirmed the identity of Thorin Oakenshield, and immediately made everyone in the square cheer immediately.

The cheers became bigger and louder because Thorin Oakenshield's identity was proved.

Watching the whole scene spiral out of control.

Bud couldn't wait any longer. He immediately stood in the center of the square and said loudly to everyone, "Everyone!"

"Please listen to me!"

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Bud still holds a great place in the hearts of the residents of Long Lake Town.

He spoke eagerly, and the surrounding civilians quickly quieted down.

"Have you all forgotten what happened to Riverdale?"

"Have you all forgotten the residents of Riverdale who were buried in the dragon's flames?"

Bud's two loud roars immediately shocked the hearts of the ecstatic and frenetic residents around him.

Yes, the dragon Smaug still sleeps in the treasure below the Lonely Mountain.

When the dwarves go, they will surely wake up the dragon.

Now Riverdale has long since been destroyed.

Of course, the closest one to Lonely Mountain is here.

Who knows if the awakened dragon will destroy this place like the river valley town.

"for what?"

"For a king under the mountain who has blind ambition and interests, and only has his own desires in his eyes?"

"Are you going to be in danger with the dragon's flames?"

Bud's roar fell, and the surrounding residents were obviously a little more awake, and they immediately started talking.

Such a change immediately made Thorin Oakenshield's complexion change.

He really didn't expect the boatman to be bad for his own business.

above the steps.

The bloated mayor was very reluctant to see Bud have such appeal, so he immediately said: "Okay, you don't have to blame each other like this!"

"Don't forget everyone!"

"It's Girion, King of the Valley States!"

"Is it your Bard's ancestor, the serious consequence of failing to kill the dragon?"

The mayor's voice fell, and the surrounding residents began to discuss again.

Thorin Oak Shield and a group of dwarves also looked at the boatman in shock.

No wonder the other party will try his best to speak for Jirion when he talks about blaming Jirion.

It turned out that he was a descendant of Jirion.

Seeing this, the despicable secretary Aifud immediately followed the knife and said, "Yes, my lord!"

"We all know that story."

"Girion shot one arrow after another, but every shot missed."

"It's all the fault of his ancestors"

If speaking of the mayor, he just let the surrounding residents transfer the blame for Thorin Oakenshield to the ancestor of Bard, Jirion.

Then the clerk Iford's supplementary knife made the surrounding residents even Budd to blame.

who made Gerion an ancestor of Bard;

who made Girion fail to shoot the dragon;

Who let all the residents of Changhu Town be deceived, blinded by desire and greed;

"Yes, it's all Girion's fault"

"If only Jirion could shoot the dragon to death."

"If we can shoot the dragon, the residents of Riverdale will not die, and we will no longer be in danger."

"It's all about Bud's ancestors"

"."

The surrounding discussions rang out one after another, and quickly got into Bud's ears.

Facing the accusations of close neighbors, friends, and colleagues on weekdays.

Looking at Bud, who had always been calm, strong, and a tough guy, his eyes quickly turned red, and there were even crystal tears in his eyes.

Morgan sighed in his heart, common people are the cutest, and common people are also the most ignorant.

At this moment, Morgan suddenly understood why Smaug died at the hands of Bud in the memory plot.

Because of the depression and the burden of too much Bud needs to repay the debt for the ancestors and needs to be recognized.

At this moment, Morgan suddenly felt that Smaug seemed to have nothing to do with Bud.

shook his head.

Morgan looked at Bud, whose eyes were red and tearful, facing the accusations of thousands of people. Still insisting on his attitude and belief, he walked to Thorin Oak Shield and said angrily, "You have no right to enter the mountains!"

"You are wrong, only I have this right."

Thorin Oak Shield looked at Bard and shook his head, and said softly.

With a few words from the mayor and the secretary, the scene was quickly turned, and Thorin Oakenshield had already achieved his goal.

From the original prisoner, he quickly transformed into the most popular person in Changhu Town at this time.

Thorin Oakenshield is almost a winner now.

Of course, everything Thorin Oakenshield said requires the consent of one person.

That is the mayor of Changhu Town.

So, Thorin Oakenshield turned forward, looked at the bloated mayor on the steps and said, "I promise the mayor of Changhu Town in the name of the King under the Mountain."

"Will you help me and make my promise come true?"

"Would you like to share the huge treasure of my Turin family?"

At this moment, everyone present looked at the bloated mayor on the high platform.

Morgan watched from a distance the flexible and greedy eyes of the mayor of Changhu on the high platform.

He knew that tonight was stable and there was no suspense.

next second.

Everyone saw the bloated mayor suddenly open his hands and laughed loudly: "Of course!"

"I do!"

The voice fell, and everyone in the square quickly cheered and jumped into a ball.

Morgan turned his head and saw that Bud closed his eyes in despair, with tears dripping from the corners of his eyes.
