Chapter 109 The Elegy of a Hero 【Big chapter, please subscribe】

Long Lake Town was silent and late at night.

The piercing noises from the armory were especially piercing this night.

"Quick, armory."

"There is a thief"

"Catch the thief"

"quick!"

"Have you finally waited for those people?"

"Let me rush in."

"No one is allowed to let go"

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

The originally dark houses around the weapon depot quickly lit up with bright lights.

A lot of voices and footsteps came from outside immediately.

As if prepared for this.

"Run!"

Thorin Oakenshield's complexion changed suddenly, he roared and was about to run towards the window he passed through when he came.

"whoosh"

An arrow shot out from the window below.

It flew right in front of Thorin Oak Shield's eyes, and slammed into the wooden board above the window.

Thorin Oakenshield immediately stopped in his tracks, looking at the arrow in front of him with an extremely ugly expression.

If he had just taken a quick step, the arrow would not have hit the board but his body.

Seeing that there was no escape from the window, Bilbo and Bofur immediately wanted to flee downstairs.

"bang bang bang"

Suddenly, the sound of breaking doors came from below.

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

Human soldiers who were fully armed and armed with sharp spears and long swords quickly rushed into the weapon storeroom.

Behind him was an archer holding a longbow, who aimed his arrows at the crowd.

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

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

When Qili fell just now, he still wanted to be strong.

Now it is unnecessary.

But the town guards in Changhu Town actually have such a reaction speed.

It can only show that they have long been prepared for this.

Morgan couldn't think of any other possibility.

Yes, the mayor of Long Lake Town and that despicable Clerk Alfred stared at Bud so closely.

And why not carefully guard the only arsenal in the town that contains weapons.

This time, everyone in the expedition team was regarded as Tibad and the others lying down with their guns.

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

Of course, the possibility of Bard's whistleblower who may have found out the identity of Thorin Oakenshield is not ruled out.

However, this possibility is only possible.

Morgan believed that Bud would not do such a thing.

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

When Bud rushed to persuade the residents of Changhu Town, he confronted Sorin Oakenshield and others.

After being humiliated by everyone present, he was still able to take them in when the dwarf Kili was seriously injured and dying and had nowhere to go, and he also tried to heal Kili's injuries.

From here we can see Bard's character.

This is why Morgan is willing to make friends with Bud.

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

"Walk"

"Come on."

"I know these dwarves are dishonest"

"Short, bearded, and menacing"

"What happened"

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

"I heard that he was arrested for stealing weapons"

"Shh, keep your voice down."

"I heard the dwarves killed people"

"Hey, didn't you say you were arrested for stealing?"

"."

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 their doors to watch and discuss.

There are very few entertainment activities in this world.

Especially the common people of the lower class, besides creating human beings for night activities, they almost turned off the lights and went to sleep very early.

It is so lively like this night, and it also involves a rare event of dwarves, which has not been encountered once in many years.

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

Along the way, a large number of residents of Changhu Town followed, and the whispering behind them was very lively, comparable to the New Year.

In the crowd, a small figure looked at the large team going away, squeezed out the crowd with all his strength, and ran quickly towards the house.

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

Hearing the door was suddenly opened, his son Barn ran in panting and said loudly: "Father, the group of dwarves in the daytime were all captured by the town guards. I heard that they were caught stealing weapons from the armory. "

"I also saw Uncle Morgan, who was arrested along with the group of dwarves."

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

I heard my sister Tilda's crisp voice from the small bed 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 Bahn'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 small building in Changhu Town.

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

The town guard escorted the expedition team and moved very quietly.

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

The captain of the town guard, Braga, spoke to the guards outside the mayor's gate.

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

Soon, everyone saw the mayor in bloated and cursing clothes, and Alfred, the despicable clerk in a dark suit at all times, coming out.

"What's going on, what are you arguing about?"

Looking at the crowd below, the mayor looked at the town guard captain Braga in front of the square below and shouted loudly.

"My lord, we have caught a dwarf trying to steal weapons from the armory."

Braga raised his head and said respectfully.

"A weapon in our arsenal?"

"Look at this, he is an enemy of the whole people!"

Quickly glanced at the densely packed residents of Changhu Town below the square, the mayor was delighted, and decided to settle this case, just to brush up his reputation among the common people.

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

The clerk Alford looked at the dwarves below and said with a sneer.

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

The human who was with Bud the cheap boatman early in the morning and insulted him.

The so-called guest of the Mirkwood was caught standing with the dwarves at this time.

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

So Alfred immediately approached the mayor and whispered: "My lord, I saw the guest of Mirkwood who slandered you that morning, and it was that human being."

Everd pointed to Morgan in the crowd, and was about to speak, but he didn't expect that the irritable Godvalin of the dwarf finally couldn't help it.

Dwalin fought out from among the dwarves, looked at the two on the steps, especially the wretched guy in a black suit with a hunched neck and said coldly: "Speak with respect!"

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

"We are not mercenaries, let alone desperadoes."

Dwalin spoke loudly and unceremoniously, pointing to Thorin Oakenshield in the crowd.

"Do you know the Kingdom under the Mountain?"

"He is the son of Thorne, the grandson of Thor!"

"Shorin!"

After Dwalin's loud shout fell, there were some chattering noises in the crowd immediately.

The Kingdom under the Mountain used to be just under the Lonely Mountain across from the Long Lake.

These residents of Changhu Town are no strangers.

Interesting stories about kings and noble families are very popular among commoners.

Not to mention the kingdom under the mountain that was once so close.

The name of Thorin Thorn may not be known to many residents of Changhu Town.

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

Dwalin's opening naturally aroused discussions among some residents who knew these names.

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

"We are the dwarves of Irubor."

"We are here to recover the lost kingdom."

Sorin Oakenshield walked to the front of the square, looked around the crowd, and said in a deep voice.

Speaking of which, Thorin Oakenshield looks really good.

Tall, of course, this tall refers to the dwarves.

Tall, strong, majestic, handsome, and resolute, you can tell that Sorin Oakenshield has extraordinary bloodlines just by looking at his figure and appearance.

After the words fell, the discussion among the surrounding crowd who could clearly see the appearance of Thorin Oaken Shield became louder.

Even the mayor of Changhu Town at the top of the steps, and the wretched clerk Alfred beside him were a little stunned.

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

Facing even the down-and-out king of the mountain is far from something that a dilapidated Changhu mayor and clerk can compare and provoke.

Sorin Oakenshield, not to mention other things, is very good looking and imposing.

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

Realizing the effect, Sorin Oakenshield immediately acted in his true colors and said, "I used to remember the prosperity of Long Lake Town."

"At that time, there were a large number of fleets moored by the lake."

"The ships were filled with precious silks and precious stones"

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

"This was once the trading center of the North."

Thorin Oakenshield looked at the crowd around him and spoke loudly.

This made the surrounding poor and poor residents of Changhu Town at the bottom very touched, and they had a sense of substitution.

So, following Thorin Oakenshield's speech, the surrounding crowd became even louder.

"I will light again the great fortress of the dwarves"

"A large quantity of gold and silver treasures has been brought from the king's hall in Erubor."

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

Thorin Oakenshield's resounding voice fell.

The whispering among the crowd of civilians who were watching became louder and noisier.

"die!"

"All you bring is death!"

Just when Thorin Oakenshield's speech successfully aroused the hopes, desires and extravagant hopes of the residents of Long Lake Town.

An abrupt and piercing voice came from outside the crowd immediately.

Hearing this voice, Morgan sighed slightly in his heart.

Bud still came as in the memory plot.

But Morgan wouldn't say anything.

He is a beneficiary, and nothing can stop him.

Soon, everyone saw Bard coming in from the crowd, looking at Sorin Oakenshield in the square and said in a deep voice: "Death, dragon flame, and destruction!"

"That's what you can bring!"

"If you wake up the dragon, you will only ruin everyone, and ruin Long Lake Town."

Bard looked directly at Sorin Oakenshield in front of him and said in a deep voice.

Although this troublesome human boatman appeared unexpectedly.

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

Next, it is only necessary to stimulate and maintain the greed of the surrounding crowd and the mayor of Changhu Town on the steps.

"You may obey him, but."

"But I can assure everyone present!"

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

"At that time, you will have enough gold and silver treasures!"

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

Thorin Oakenshield roared.

At this moment, with the promise of the new king under the mountain, all the residents finally couldn't help it, and immediately cheered.

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

All they knew was to trust the word of the sudden King of the Mountain.

Anyway, they have nothing to lose, and they still have a chance to get rich and become rich. Why should they be unhappy and not cheering?
"Why should we believe your word?"

"Trust your word?"

At this moment, the cunning clerk Alfred poured cold water on him.

"We don't know anything about you!"

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

Alfred's voice fell.

The whole square fell silent in an instant.

Yes, if no one can prove that this dwarf can claim to be the king of the mountain at will, then can he also claim to be the mayor of Changhu Town?

The entire square was quiet and silent, and everyone looked at Thorin Oakenshield.

If he can't find someone to prove that he is the real king of the mountain, then everything he has worked so hard to create will be invalid in an instant.

Once there is no halo, he and the entire expedition team will be imprisoned in Changhu Town Prison for theft and deception.

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

First of all, it cannot be a dwarf.

Who knows if they will be together.

And in the square at this time, there were only two people who were qualified.

One, of course, is Morgan.

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

The other, of course, was Bilbo.

As a hobbit, Bilbo is naturally qualified to vouch for Thorin Oakenshield's identity guarantee.

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

He clearly remembered what Sorin Oakenshield said in the memory plot when Smaug died and Bard wanted to claim the castle promised by Sorin Oakenshield for the residents of Long Lake Town.

Perhaps Thorin Oakenshield really has the idea of ​​distributing part of the treasure to the residents of Changhu Town.

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

Sorin Oakenshield changed.

Morgan didn't want to vouch for a dishonest person.

Leave it to Bilbo.

Anyway, he also spoke in the memory plot.

The square continued to be quiet and silent.

Just when everyone quickly consumed their few patience.

"I!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from the crowd.

"I can vouch for Thorin."

Bilbo walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the square. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Alfred questioning from above: "Aren't you a dwarf?"

"No, I'm a hobbit."

Bilbo fell silent.

Discussion voices immediately came to mind.

"What hobbit?"

"It turned out to be a halfling."

"What is a halfling?
"Hobbits are also called halflings. They seem to live in the western Shire of the world."

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

"He seems no different from dwarves."

"No, there are still some differences, you see he has no beard"

"It also looks cleaner."

"I said we humans still look good."

"of course."

Bilbo's identity was revealed by the constant chatter around him.

Alfred was speechless.

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

"I know Sorin's character. If he makes a promise, he will definitely keep it."

As soon as the words fell, Bilbo confirmed the identity of Thorin Oakenshield, and everyone in the square immediately cheered.

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

Watching the whole scene get more and more out of control.

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

"Please listen to me!"

"Everyone, please listen to me!"

Bud still has a lot of status in the hearts of the residents of Changhu Town.

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

"Have you all forgotten what happened to Hegu Town?"

"Have you all forgotten those residents of River Valley Town who were buried in the flames of the dragon?"

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

Yes, Smaug the Dragon still sleeps in his treasures below the Lonely Mountain.

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

Now River Valley Town has long been destroyed.

Of course, the closest to the lonely mountain is here.

Who knows if the awakened dragon will destroy this place like it destroyed River Valley Town.

"for what?"

"For a king under the mountain who is blindly ambitious, obsessed with profit, and only has his own desires in his eyes?"

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

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

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

He really didn't expect that the boatman would ruin his business.

above the steps.

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

"Everyone, don't forget!"

"It's Girion, the king of the Valley State!"

"Is it the serious consequences of your Bard's ancestors failing to kill the dragon?"

The voice of the mayor fell, and the surrounding residents started talking again.

Thorin Oakenshield and the other dwarves looked at the boatman in shock.

No wonder the other party would try to speak for Ji Rui'an when he talked about blaming Ji Rui'an.

It turned out that he was a descendant of Ghirien.

Seeing this, the despicable clerk Alfred immediately followed up and said: "Yes, my lord!"

"We all know that story."

"Giraon shot arrow after arrow, but every arrow missed."

"It's all his ancestors' fault"

If it is the mayor, it just makes the surrounding residents transfer the blame for Thorin Oakenshield to Bard's ancestor Ghirian.

Then the clerk Alfred's last knife made the surrounding residents even Bud blame it.

Who made Ghirien an ancestor of Bard;

Who made Ghirian fail to shoot the dragon;
Who caused the residents of Changhu Town to be blinded by prejudice, desire, and greed;
"Yes, it's all Jirian's fault"

"If only Giraon could shoot that dragon."

"If you can shoot the evil dragon, the residents of River Valley Town will not die, and we will no longer be in danger."

"It's All Blame on Bard's Ancestors"

"."

Discussions around him rang out one after another, and they quickly entered Bud's ears.

Facing accusations from close neighbors, friends, and colleagues on weekdays.

Looking at Bud, who had always been calm, strong, and a tough guy, his eyes turned red quickly, 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 Bard in the memory plot.

Because of being depressed and burdened too much, Bard needs to pay off the debts of his ancestors and needs to be recognized.

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

shook his head.

Morgan looked at Bard, whose eyes were red and teary, faced the accusations, and still insisted on his attitude and belief, walked up to Sorin Oakenshield, and said angrily, "You have no right to enter the mountains!"

"You are wrong, only I have such a right."

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

The scene was quickly reversed by a few words from the mayor and the clerk, and Thorin Oakenshield had achieved his goal at this time.

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

Thorin Oakenshield was almost the winner now.

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

That is the mayor of Changhu Town.

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

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

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

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

Morgan watched from afar the flexible and greedy eyes of Mayor Changhu who turned quickly on the high platform.

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

next second.

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

"I am willing!"

After the words fell, everyone in the square quickly cheered and jumped into a ball.

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