[Hobbit+HP] The truth of elves

From the moment the dwarf came in, Thranduil showed a dull look.Bend his elbows to support his center of gravity pressed to the right. Although Thranduil kept following the object of his voice, his attention was not as concentrated as he showed.

It wasn't until Lucius let go of his restraint and raised his final tone that the Elf King's eyes were truly focused.

Turning his head to look at Bahrain who was stunned and Bahn who still didn't understand the situation, Thranduil suddenly felt very strange and curious.

Lucius did not further persecute Bahrain's behavior, and Shi Shiran's attitude was like a businessman with confidence in the negotiation-very human.

Thranduil subconsciously looked at Lucius' ear.

But there was nothing there except a head of blond hair combed smooth and tame from head to tail, just like his own.

When he arrived in the snowy night, Thranduy only noticed Lucius' completely different attire, but he took it for granted that he missed this detail.

And Lucius actually spent mana to adjust his actual shape.This discovery made the Elf King slightly startled, and then he was distracted by Balin's difficult words: "This is... this is unreasonable. A mining area mined by dwarves..."

"But it's located on the territory of Changhu Town, on the territory of humans." Lucius added briskly.

"Without the dwarves, no mining would be possible. Even if the mining area is on human territory."

"And Changhu Town paid the fee for hiring dwarves to survey the mining area."

"But!" Balin shook his fist up and down slightly, as if thinking of something, his tone suddenly became more excited, "This is because the dwarves need to pay for the stone you need. We use this to pay, not from Ere Boyun comes here. Yes, that's it!" Balin looked at his fist and nodded.

Lucius didn't speak at this time, but just watched leisurely, waiting for the words that Balin would say after a short deliberation.

"We use this to pay for stone materials, so what we just said is wrong. We don't need Changhu Town to pay the employment fee. We just need you to wait for a while." Balin tightened his fingers and looked at Lucius.Seeing that the latter seems to be about to speak, he quickly added: "It takes so long to transport the stone from Erebo."

"Of course, it's reasonable." Lucius took back the scroll that was just sent to Bahrain with his backhand, and gave the other party a nod of approval, "However, I heard you right, you mean, the dwarves are going A stone production area belonging to the dwarves was excavated on the territory of the town, and the purpose is to pay for the materials needed for the construction of Changhu Town?"

Balin took a breath, opened his mouth, and suddenly found that he couldn't catch up.

"This is obviously unacceptable." Lucius' tone seemed to be coaxing a child, "Let mining that has nothing to do with humans happen on the land under my management. This is not related to humans mining from Erebor. Is it reasonable to use gold to pay for the purchase of weapons from the dwarves? Or should we abandon this plan and wait for the stone materials to be delivered from Erebo. Anyway," Lucius drew two horizontal lines in the air with a scroll of paper , "We all have to wait for the same amount of time."

"Of course it's different!" Bahrain shook his head hastily, "Of course it's better to mine nearby."

"For Long Lake Town, it is obviously not a better choice." Lucius simply put away the scroll in his hand, "The original environment has been changed, and I cannot predict what changes will happen to Long Lake Town. Furthermore, for what we are discussing now, I still need to bear the risk that you can't find the production area. And even if you find it, is it what I need? Will the location of the production area affect the original production area of ​​Changhu Town? Our planning? Our planting area is not sufficient, and of course the number of people is not large. These are all factors that I need to consider..."

"Since I said yes, there must be. Dwarves will never read these things wrong!" Balin snapped back unconvinced, "As long as you agree to our survey."

"I won't do anything I'm not sure about." Lucius still shook his head, "There's no need to say any more, I've already made up my mind."

"And what if you find it?"

"Finding a production area is a discovery, and finding a dozen tons of stone is also a discovery. Do you think this is meaningful?"

"Of course we found enough for your Changhu Town. Not to mention the small area now, even if you build another River Valley City, it will be enough."

"Then, still according to the original contract, the dwarves will promise to find at least enough stone materials for us to build an entire town of Long Lake, and Long Lake Town will use the cost that River Valley City and Erebor should pay as your employment fee. I hope that you can find more than one valuable mining area, but at least you must promise that all possible mining rights within the scope of Changhu Town belong to Changhu Town, and of course the output is the same." Lucius once again Spreading out the roll of paper, he handed the pen to Bahrain with an unquestionable attitude, "If you still have any objections, we don't need to discuss any more, just follow what was written in the original signed agreement. "

Balin was stunned for a moment.

"Ah, I forgot, I remember the price of hiring a team of dwarves in various places. Even if it takes half a month to hire all of you who came this time, Erebo still needs to add some more minerals to cover my price. Let’s include the bill sent this time in this new agreement.” Regardless of Bahrain’s mournful expression, Lucius pulled the scroll back to him, and added a small list of materials he had selected. Signed his name.Then he handed the scroll to Bahn as a witness.

When the agreement of Long Lake Town's complete victory was handed over to Thranduil, two names had already been written on it in the lingua franca of mankind. One was Bahn, and the other started with L. Two words, connected by a black dot.

Lucius Malfoy.

Thranduy's fingertips slowly slid across the name, looked up at the owner of the name, and happened to catch the moment when Lucius turned his face away.

"In addition, I also want to inform you. As agreed at the beginning, the construction of the hotel exclusively for dwarves can also start. You can choose an area within the range I gave, and organize your people to start construction." Lucius turned his face away, and seemed to speak to Balin naturally, urging the other party to sign the final name.

"Shall we build it?" Bahrain asked again in surprise just after finishing his last stroke.

"Of course, it will be an excellent location next to the main road of Changhu Town. The dwarves will build and operate it themselves. You only need to pay the rent of that piece of land to Changhu Town regularly to keep your land use rights. We will not interfere." Lucius quickly withdrew the agreement and responded naturally, "If you want Long Lake Town to be responsible for the construction and operation, the dwarves who lived in the past need to pay the operator for accommodation. This is not with you Does it contradict your request?"

"But this is on the territory of Changhu Town!" Balin clenched his fists again, "You can't..."

"It's because it's normal to pay rent on the territory of Changhu Town." Lucius explained innocently, "This is a right that is only required by the original agreement. If you want to spend the night in Changhu Town in the future, you can only pay rent." There are two methods. One is to pay the rent of the land and the house. If the transaction is to be made, a fee must be paid to obtain a transaction license. The second method is in addition to the fees mentioned in the first method , you also need to pay one-tenth of your income as the tax of Changhu Town. Of course, with the second method, Changhu Town will also undertake the responsibility of protecting them accordingly."

"Everyone who comes here has to hand in these? Everyone?" Barn was also surprised after hearing this.

Lucius nodded: "Naturally. Long Lake Town is a trading area. Caravans pay fees to obtain the qualifications for entering and staying in trades, and we are responsible for providing such an area. It's reasonable, isn't it?"

"However, what about the people who have lived in Changhu Town for a long time? Will there be other people who want to settle here?" Barn asked puzzled.

"If you settle here, apart from the two types just now, the only job left is to serve the people in Changhu Town. In fact, it's the same. Turning in one tenth of your income is equivalent to being protected and recognized. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Speaking of protection, I haven't seen any city walls here." Bahrain asked.

"This is the main point I want to say." Lucius stood up and waved to Qi Lier who was waiting by the door, "Bring the sand table up."

"Sand table...what is it?" Thranduil uttered the first sound of the day as if he had just woken up.

Lu Xiusi paused invisibly with his arm in the air, and did not turn to face the Elf King: "This was made by Qi Lier and Caleb Rose for me...to show the future of Changhu Town. appearance."

"The future? Why..." Bahrain was taken aback, but the question was cut off by the darkness brought by the extinguishment of the candle and the lowering of the curtains.

In the momentary darkness, Thranduil subconsciously tightened the back of his hand holding the armrest, and then saw the first faint blue light spot light up in his field of vision.As if the crystal clear liquid poured out of the water bottle, the water flow composed of faint blue light spots spread out, and Lucius' confident smiling face was first lightly reflected.

The movement of light spots brought to life by the invisible hand is also like the ink drawn closer by the invisible pen tip, flowing densely in the air, and finally depicting a prosperous port with the mysterious brush strokes.The dock stretches along the shore of the long lake, a road runs straight from north to south, houses are lined up on both sides, and there are figures like real life walking through.

"How could there be so many people!?" Barn exclaimed.

"I have read the books recorded in the Woodland Kingdom. Changhu Town has always been the only choice for the northern trade center. It does not need a solid city wall. As long as it is such a place, it is destined to create such prosperity. The current Changhu Town Although Hu Town only has a simple population like us, what about the future..."

A gust of wind, mixed with a beam of light, instantly blew away the beautiful mirage that seemed to be echoing in the bottle.

Thranduil frowned subconsciously, and looked at Hadion who opened the curtain to break everything.

"Report Your Majesty, there is a group of people from Rohan outside, and they want to migrate to Changhu Town to live." The commander of the imperial guard received the glance of the Elf King, but failed to respond accordingly. He spoke directly, With a hint of excitement that could be captured in the aftertaste, "They brought a letter." Hardion paused before turning his gaze from Thranduy to his right, hesitating slightly, "To Lucius of."

"Do you know any other human beings?" Thranduy asked without thinking, turning his head sideways.

Lucius did raise his eyebrows, but it was Haden holding the letter who answered the Elf King: "This is a letter from His Royal Highness Legolas."

Thranduil sat up straight and repeated unconsciously: "Who?"

The author has something to say: Heck, don’t ask me who ate up the previous chapters and when will I spit them out... Yuanyuan said that I can only ask the sky speechlessly, let’s see fate~~~
