Chapter 60 Changhu Town
It was another peaceful night, and Ronan and Taorel did not sleep well, but don’t misunderstand it, it was not that there was something ulterior motive between them, but that it was simple and unaccustomed.
"Ao~" Ronan sat up from his sleeping bag and hit a big Hache, "Good morning, Taorell.
Taurel stared straight at the top of the tent and replied softly: "Good morning, Master Ronan."
Then, the two of them never communicated again.
Luo Nan was familiar with the clothes, climbed out of the tent, washed his face by the river, brushed his teeth, and waited for the arrival of breakfast.
Looking at the busy dwarves, Ronan suddenly thought of something. He seemed to have not let Harry out for a long time...
God is sorry to see, it was not Ronan on purpose, but the recent environment has not been very good. I hope Harry won't be too angry with him.
At this moment, Qili and Philip mysteriously pulled Ronan aside and asked, "Master Ronan, how did you do last night?"
"ah?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid. We have all seen it. Master Luo Nan, you are in the same tent as that female elf!"
Ronan glared at his eyes and scolded, "Why are you still looking at us?"
"How can we know if we don't look at you? When did you happen to you? Why didn't we react?"
"Nonsense, I couldn't even react!"
"Don't pretend..."
OK, Ronan's crotch was falling off at this time. It was nothing but that.
Especially when Tao Ruier came out of the tent like he escaped, the eyes of everyone looking at Ronan changed.
What a guy, love saint! Although the conditions of Taorel are so ugly to the point of earth-shaking in the dwarves, they also know that from the perspective of humans, the ugly things among dwarves are treasures.
What's more, the elves usually see that nostrils are facing the sky, but now they are getting married to an outsider. This is the great news! Happy, happy!
The dwarves now regard Ronan, not only as a wise man, but also as a warrior, a legendary warrior!
Ronan: “…”
Ronan immediately had nothing to say, so he had to finish his breakfast rush and then continued to drift in a small boat. During this period, they caught up with a row of wooden barrels that were drifting.
"Ha, it seems that someone was quietly rushing in front of us when we were not on the way." The dwarves were very excited.
Chili and Fili paddled to the next to the barrel, leaned over and smelled it, and said happily: "It's the wine, the kind of wine we drank before!"
Taurel and Ronan whispered for a while and Ronan explained to everyone: "These are the barrels of the Woodland Kingdom. They usually rely on this river to trade with the town of Changhu downstream. They should have set out shortly after we set out, and then passed us at night while we were resting, and now we have caught up with them again."
"Oh, it seems that our Master Ronan's understanding of the Woodland Kingdom has suddenly come to a higher level, right?"
The dwarves laughed loudly, Ronan was embarrassed and didn't know what expression to show, and Taorel also blushed. This change not only did not let the dwarves let her go, but instead laughed louder.
After laughing for a while, Solin pointed to the northeast: "Are you resting enough? Keep cheering and paddling hard!"
Going down the water not only saves physical strength, but also saves time. Everyone walked along the winding dense forest river for about three days. During this period, the barrels of wood elves were accompanied by the barrels of wood. At night, they quietly walked in front. During the day, everyone rowed the boat and surpassed these barrels of day and night, until a quiet harbor.
"We're here, Changhu..."
The sight crossed this harbor, a huge lake lies in front of everyone's eyes, and the huge water surface could not be seen at all. It was like a quiet sea. The waves gently patted the boat under the breeze, causing everyone to shake gently.
The famous Changhu Town is located in this quiet harbor. It is built in the quiet shallow water of the Mulin Bay. It is nailed into the bottom of the lake through huge and thick wooden stakes, and then their house is built on these wooden stakes. There is only a long plank road connected to the shore.
All the houses were built around the market, and the town hall was located next to the central circular pool, and their mayor was said to be the most prestigious and wisest person who had been elected.
"There is a pier over there, let's go there to dock." Solin saw a very obvious small pier, not sure what it was for.
When everyone finally rowed to the shore, they found that there had been guests here. This was a barge, about ten meters long and two meters wide. The two ends were slightly narrowed, the hull was flat, and the deck could just match the plank road at the dock.
"I think this must be the transport ship that Changhu Town accepts elves barrels, isn't it?" Balin said.
"Yes, I just didn't see where the ferryman was. Normally, he should be nearby." Ronan added.
"The ferryman is indeed nearby, but after he discovered your whereabouts, he hid until he found an elf in your team." A strange voice rang beside everyone.
When he turned around, he found that it was a long-haired human man wearing an old windbreaker. He held a long bow and looked at Ronan and the others, and asked, "Who are you? Why are you carrying an elf, and why are you sitting in a ship made by elf?"
“Uh…we are…”
"No, you answer." The ferryman Bud pointed the bow and arrow at Ronan.
"Me?" Ronan nodded, "Okay, but please put down the bow and arrow first. Is that easy to get accidents?"
"First of all, allow me to introduce myself. I am Ronan, the bard. I like to collect legendary stories, so I like to travel around Middle Earth. This is my assistant, the elf Taorel."
"Then these people are the dwarf caravans I found. They set out from Blue Mountain and were going to visit the relatives in the Iron Hill..."
Bahrain nodded quickly, "Yes, we are Blue Mountain dwarves, and we are going to visit relatives in the Iron Hills."
Iron Hill is just northeast of Changhu Town, and is another kingdom of the dwarves, led by Solin's cousin, Dann. Gushan is directly north of Changhu Town, and now that direction is no longer inhabited.
"Visit relatives?" Bard put away his bow and arrow. In fact, the dwarves' reputation in Middle Earth is not very good, but it definitely does not mean danger. Because the dwarves' stone minds are well-known as stubborn. They will kill people because of treasures, but they will never kill people because of evil faith.
"But ordinary dwarf merchants will let the elves give ships? Do you think this world is crazy or am I crazy?"
"Uh... Actually, it's impossible, but that depends on the situation."
"Depending on the situation? What will happen?" Bud asked while carrying the wooden barrels downstream onto the ship one by one.
Bahrain shook his head: "You don't need to know this, after all, there is no intersection between us."
"No, there is intersection, very intersection!" Bud looked at the dwarves and said, "You may think of me as ordinary humans, but I know what the possible purpose of you people is.
Gushan! Right? I felt strange. At this time, a group of dwarves came to Changhu, and the participation of this elves and humans, and you want to return to that mountain and recover the dwarves' homeland, Eribo."
Thorin stopped Bahrain, who wanted to argue, and asked the maniac, "So what advice do you have?"
"The advice is not enough. I just want to warn you that the dragon is still in the mountains. I advise you to give up your itinerary. It was impossible to do it when you were in full swing two hundred years ago, and it was even more impossible after two hundred years, not to mention that there are only a dozen people now."
"I'm afraid this is not your business, right?"
"No, of course it's our business! If you can't enter the mountains, you will wake up the dragon!"
"So what?"
"How is it? Have you forgotten how the Eribo was destroyed? Have you forgotten the tragedy of River Valley City? Our people finally rebuilt Changhu Town on the ruins. I can't allow you to do this!"
"But this still doesn't matter to you. The ferryman, you are not the leader of Changhu Town, you cannot represent the people here, you can only represent yourself!"
Finally, the quarrel between the people attracted the attention of the guards of Changhu Town, and soon a group of soldiers surrounded everyone tightly.
"These people are not dwarfs, are they? Look at their size, then look at their hands, feet and soles!"
"I think it's a dwarf, but I haven't seen any dwarfs."
"Nonsense, there have been no dwarves in the north for more than two hundred years."
"Hey, I seem to have seen a female elf! Oh my God, she is so beautiful!"
The dwarves who were besieged in the center rolled their eyes. Human aesthetic abilities are really uncommon.
The mayor in the town hall is following the briefing of his secretary Alfred.
"What? The dwarves came to Changhu Town?" The mayor even squirted out the brandy in his mouth in shock.
Alfred took the empty wine glass from the mayor and added: "Sir, among them there are humans and elves, and there is said to be a hobbit."
"Uh...Alfred, don't you remember that prophecy?"
"Sir, you mean..."
"It seems that it's necessary for us to meet our old friends."
"You really thought about it!"
The mayor shook his head and smiled, "You can shut up and bring my guests here and tell the chef that we are going to have a banquet."
