The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 50 Long Lake Town

Long Lake Town, also known as Esgalos, is located on Long Lake in the south of the Lonely Mountain, which is a lake in the middle and upper reaches of the River Run.

In the past, when Gushan was not ruled by the evil dragon, relying on the convenient transportation of the rushing river, it developed extremely prosperously.

From here, a large number of merchants go north to the Lonely Mountain, or go to the woodland kingdom of the Black Forest to start trade.

The people in Changhu Town make some handicrafts for sale, or do some business to entertain passing tourists, which is enough to live quite well.

It's just that since the lonely mountain was abandoned, all of this has disappeared. The population of Changhu Town has decreased year by year, and the area of ​​the town has also shrunk.

Now, most of them rely on growing some crops on the shore, or rely on fishing in the long lake for a living.

And people of some powers can still live well by holding on to the trade with the woodland elves.

At this time, a group of gorgeously equipped and sturdy cavalry came from the south along the road along the bank, shouting loudly, and rushed towards Changhu Town quickly.

At this time, it was already the third day after Borg died,
Allen was leading his personal guards and rushed up the wooden bridge in Changhu Town. The guards in front of the wooden bridge didn't even dare to make a sound to stop them.

In the past few years, when Allen went to Iron Hills to visit Dyne, he also entered Changhu Town as a businessman and experienced the different customs here.

Because Allen really didn't like the fat mayor, and the distance was too far away.

In the past four or five years, Allen's Wilderness Town has not established any decent diplomatic relations with Changhu Town.

At this time, Allen took his own guards covered in black blood, drove the horses fiercely, and rushed along the wooden bridge to the gate of Changhu Town. The people and businessmen along the road avoided Allen's team one after another.

And Changhu Town, which has been peaceful for a long time under the protection of the woodland elves, is really lax in defense. It was only when Allen rushed to the front that he was noticed by the lazy guards.

All of a sudden, the alarm sounded, and the wooden gate was immediately closed.

Soon, a slightly panicked voice came from the door.

"Everyone, my lords, this is Changhu Town, please tell me why you are here?"

I can't help but feel that these guys are not nervous. Although these guards say that their equipment is not too bad, their combat effectiveness is so-so.

The problem is that due to the greed of the mayor, their number is very small, and they should be vigilant and maintain law and order. Under the leadership of Braga, it is still okay to bully the common people. If you really want to fight the elves, forget it .

And the guard captain who spoke, when he saw Allen and his party coming to Changhu Town so flamboyantly, knew that the visitors were not kind.

And the team seemed to be full of elves, what could make the elves block the gate of Changhu Town with all their armor?

At this time, he was already guessing, could it be that the mayor tricked the elves when he was doing business?
As a result, he was now being questioned by others, which brought an unbearable disaster to himself who was on duty today.

Allen, who was riding on the horse, felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he said in a bad tone: "Braga, is that you?"

Braga, who was inside the door, was terrified when he heard that the people outside still knew him.

He usually only did some small things to eat and drink, at most he used the name of the mayor to bully the townspeople.

Now, the leader of the elves named Braga, which made him a little scared and dared not speak.

A day ago, when Alan passed by the edge of the woodland kingdom, he had a conversation with the Silvan elves working there.

It was only later that I found out that Thorin Oakenshield and his party had escaped from the king's dungeon on the day he left.

He calculated the date, and it has been four or five days, which is too long, which makes Allen a little worried.

In the original book, although Thorin Oakenshield and his party stayed in Changhu Town for more than two weeks, they only stayed for one day in the movie.

Although Allen told Thorin Oakenshield specifically to wait for him in Long Lake Town.

But who knows if these anxious guys will leave Alan and go to the lonely mountain by themselves.

According to Alan's understanding of them, Thorin Oakenshield is very likely to do such a thing.

At that time, Allen will not only spend a lot of time looking for their group in the lonely mountain.

If they find the secret door before Allen arrives, will Allen's mission be considered complete?Still not done?

Allen was extremely depressed, and led his subordinates in anxiety, rushing all the way here.

In fact, from yesterday to now, he just slept on the horse for a while.

Alan, who lacks sleep, has a bad temper and can barely maintain basic courtesy.

"Hurry up and open the door, I'm here to find Bud."

When Braga heard that he was not looking for himself, nor the mayor, but the mayor's nemesis, his heart dropped immediately.

In fact, he didn't remember who Alan was for a long time. After all, at that time, Alan was just a small businessman who needed to pay him tolls.

Since it had nothing to do with him, Braga's head protruded a little bit from above the wooden door, and shouted loudly:

"Your Excellency, you can find Bud, but the law of Changhu Town does not allow anyone to carry weapons except guards, you see"

At this moment, Allen stared at him with bloodshot eyes, and Braga shrank his head back in fright.

Alan was really in no mood to talk nonsense with him, so he handed over his weapons and horses to Horimion.

And whispered to them to wait for him on the other side of the bridge. After Horimion turned around, he shouted loudly: "Braga, I'm the only one who will go in. Open the door."

After Horimion and the others left, the wooden door slowly opened, and Braga walked out slowly, with a smile on his face.

He lowered his waist and said to Allen: "Master Allen, if you don't mind, let me take you to find Bud. I know him very well."

Allen also knew about Bud's situation in this town, so he nodded.

Thorin Oakenshield did not leave at this time, he was waiting at Bard's house, and he was waiting very impatiently.

Several times he wanted to lead the team to leave here and go to Gushan.

But Mr. Bahrain persuaded them to come down, because they had no money to buy supplies and ships.

Allen did say before, let Thorin Oakenshield wait for him here.

After all, Alan will not be searched when passing through the Woodland Kingdom. He must be rich, and everything can be solved after he arrives.

It's just that they have been waiting here for almost a week, and the lonely mountain dangled in front of their eyes every day, and they were really anxious.

Finally, on this day, Allen, led by Braga, appeared near Bud's house.

Qili, who had been looking out the window, was the first to spot Allen.

"Alan is here."

Regardless of the danger of being discovered, he shouted excitedly. Thorin Oakenshield, who was walking around in the house, sat down after hearing this, and breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Alan, who heard this shout, also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Thorin Oakenshield was finally obedient for once, which was not easy.

Allen took out a few gold coins and sent Braga back.

Originally, this guy wanted to see why Alan was looking for Bud. After all, Alan and his personal guards were too imposing.

But in the face of Allen's expulsion, he changed his mind and felt that he should report this matter to the mayor in time.

Thinking of this, he quickly ran towards the mayor's residence.

And Allen also met with other members of the expedition team on the second floor of Bud's house.

As soon as Allen entered the door, he greeted everyone, especially Bilbo. He leaned over to Bilbo and said quietly: "You are doing very well, Bilbo. I have already said that you will be a great snitch."

When Bilbo Baggins heard it, he was a little surprised and a little embarrassed. He just scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Bud, the owner of the house, was not there, only his children stayed in the house.

To be honest, a dozen dwarves and Bud's family live in such a two-story building, which is very inconvenient.

Fortunately, the dwarves paid some rewards, otherwise the Bard family would be too sad.

Thorin Oakenshield had had enough of living here a long time ago. He looked at Alan with an excited expression on his face. He knew that he had finally left here.

But before he could say anything, Allen took out a bundle, and when he opened it, there was Borg's head inside.

Alan looked at Thorin Oakenshield and asked.

"do you know him?"

Thorin Oakenshield looked at the pale head, nodded, and shook his head again.

He nodded because of his family's mortal hatred for the pale orcs, and shook his head because he didn't recognize the ugly head.

He said in a low voice: "I don't know him, but I think he must have something to do with that fellow Azog, right?"

After hearing this, Alan nodded, resting his right hand on his forehead, rubbing his middle finger and thumb on his temple, and said wearily: "He is Borg, the son of Azog, he was ordered to hunt you down, and I stopped him." It's a gift I gave you."

Looking at the head on the table and Alan's tired expression, Sorin's eyes showed gratitude.

But this quickly disappeared, and he said calmly: "I will never forget your friendship, don't worry, after retaking the Lonely Mountain, I will definitely give it to you, which is in line with this gift in return."

After hearing this, Allen smiled with some relief, how could he not see Sorin's eyes.

He shook his head with a smile and told Sorin: "Okay, Sorin, don't be so polite, we are still friends, aren't we? Let's go, let's meet the mayor of Changhu Town for a while, the supplies we need are still there You have to get it from them."
