The Journey of the Demon Hunter

"Yes, Legolas."

The 709th chapter is out of the siege

Looking at the dense forest left behind, the dwarves hiding in the carriage heaved a sigh of relief. They raised their heads and laughed at the forest, or raised their fingers to express their contempt, not knowing whether it was to the orcs or the elves. Zelin also slowed down the speed of the carriage. Running fast is a great loss to the truck itself. Fortunately, the mayor gave him a cart of low-quality wine instead of a scrapped cart. Living in Diangpo and falling apart, it is estimated that these dwarves will not be able to escape by then.

"How is your partner? I just heard someone hurt."

Zelin asked the dwarves behind.

"Killie was shot and has been bandaged."

The group of dwarves surrounded the dwarves known as Kili, the dwarf Devarin was helping to bandage, and the dwarf shot an arrow in the leg, but it seemed that the situation was not serious. The dwarves had just escaped from the prison of the elves and fought with the chasing orcs. When the battle was over, they seemed to have lost their strength, sitting in the carriages one after another, panting. Bilbo is no exception. The dwarf hobbit has courage no less than that of a dwarf warrior. A lot of orc blood is glued to his short sword.

"Thank you, man, we will pay you the money now. Can you continue to take us to Long Lake Town?" Bahrain walked over to Zelin and asked, "When we return to the Lonely Mountain and regain the inheritance, we will Repay you with more coins, thanks to you this time. Are you really the wizard sent by Gandalf to help us? You did a beautiful job when you destroyed the tree."

"I think we'd better talk about compensation and your next actions." Zelin avoided this topic, and Bahrain nodded wisely.

"You're right, human beings. After we take back the Lonely Mountain, you can get your share of the dwarf's treasure, but you can take us over, right?"

Although Bahrain said very well, Zelin could only shook his head in this regard.

"Although Bilbo and I said something about you and the elves, regardless of whether the elves did the right thing, you did conflict with the elves." Zelin took a deep breath, and he could already hear the sound of the water in the long lake. "In Long Lake Town, the mayor's wealth depends entirely on the trade with the elves. If he can, he will never defy the requirements of the elves on the surface. As long as the elves send one person to the town, the mayor will order Let the guards tie you up and send you back to the woodland kingdom."

"But you will definitely help us, right?" Bahrain looked at the Demon Hunter. "We really need your help."

It was almost noon, but from time to time a large cloud of clouds made the sun shining on the earth not so bright. The wind was very strong, and the sun shone on the tumbling waves on the long lake in the distance, sparkling. The surrounding shrubs and bushes shook gently with the wind, making a rustling noise, as if the woods were whispering and talking to each other. The carriage drove along the road between the bushes in the direction of Long Lake.

"I can't bring you in. Look at the appearance of the carriage. The guards will definitely come and check it." When he returned to Changhu Town, Zelin would definitely go to the mayor. But for the dwarves, he couldn't bring these dwarves to the past. The carriage was full of traces of being attacked, as well as arrow marks. The barrel was used as a shield by the dwarves, causing the orcs to chop off several of them. "There is no place to hide. But... I think someone might help you. But you need to prepare enough money."

Hearing Zelin's words, the group of dwarves gathered together and began to discuss.

While these dwarves are discussing, Zelin can take a breath and start evaluating the world again. Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, and wolves. Maybe there are more other races or races. There are many races in this world, and it seems that there is no one race dominating the world. Unlike Zelin's world, humans occupy an absolute advantage. Here, any race has its own foothold. But this is even more dangerous. The orcs are not far from the dense forest, and so are the elves. Humans have their own towns, and these dwarves are planning to retake the Lonely Mountain Kingdom.

If so many races can coexist peacefully, that would be a ghost. Not to mention that elves and dwarves hate each other, and wolves and orcs are hostile to elves and dwarves at the same time. This is not good news, he should go back and warn the humans in Long Lake Town, the orcs are near them. Judging from what happened today, the orcs and the wolves are definitely not races that can shake hands with humans.

"Have you thought about it?"

Seeing that the lake has appeared in the field of vision, Zelin asked the dwarves behind.

"Can you make sure we get supplies? We need a place to rest, food, and weapons." In the end, Thorin said to Zelin as the representative.

"I think these things, you can talk to the people I introduced to you when you arrive. I think there should be no problems with food and resting places." The person Zelin thought of was Bud, so he told the dwarves to prepare What a coin to pay. For Zelin, he certainly does not need these dozen coins. He hopes to have the opportunity to get something valuable from the legendary Lonely Mountain Treasure. But Bud needs it, and the Bud family needs it.

The demon hunter gave Bud some diamonds, but he could not use them directly, otherwise the mayor's guards would come to the door, and the archers did not want his children to be harmed. But these dwarves are different, they can directly pay for the coins that Bud needs most.

"Where is the person you are talking about?"

"I can take you over, right by the river in the dense forest. Today should be when he came to the river to fetch the wooden barrel." Zelin thought of the elves he had seen in the elf storeroom before, and the elves poured the empty barrels into it. The scene of the dense forest river.

"Then take us, humans. We must enter Long Lake Town tonight and arrive across the lake tomorrow." Thorin raised his head and looked at the position of the sun. "Hurry up, our time is urgent."

"If you don't want to break the carriage and walk over, you'd better come at this speed." Zelin shrugged. Not only the carriage, but the horses also need to rest. "But don't worry, you can see the mouth of the Milin River right away. The dock."

The Demon Hunter is not a native of Long Lake Town, he doesn't know much about the town, but Bud should have some ways. Since Zelin has helped the dwarves escape here, there is no need to throw them here. Helping people to the end, he is not used to giving up halfway.

Chapter 710 The Wizard

Close to the Milin River, the carriage could not continue to drive past. Zelin found a place and tied the reins of the horses to the stakes, which happened to allow the horses to rest for a while.

"Bilbo?"

Zelin said to the hobbit while tying the reins.

"I'm here, what's wrong?"

"Tell me about the wizard Gandalf you talked about before."

The wizard, the real spellcaster, although Bilbo will be invisible, he should be using some kind of magical props. Zelin noticed that the hobbit always inadvertently touched the pocket of his clothes, as if to determine whether there was something in it. . But wizards, real wizards, wizards who use offensive magic and various wizards. Thorin said that Gandalf lit a flame to drive away a wolf, which was obviously something the caster would do.

This is a good opportunity to understand the mysterious power of this world.

"Gandalf, I don’t know much about him. He helped us a lot except for our journey." Bilbo scratched his head. "Sometimes, he will come to the Shire. The things that Hobbit children are extremely looking forward to."

Bilbo is good at telling stories. He told Zelin in general about their adventure with the wizard Gandalf. They dealt with the ogres together, escaped from the underground goblin kingdom together, dealt with the chase of the wolf and the orcs together, along the way they also met acquaintances or friends that Gandalf knew. The King of Eagles and Beyon, the former leads a group of giant eagles living in the mountains, and the latter is a powerful warrior who can become a giant bear. They went through a lot of hardships along the way, starting from the Shire, it took about ten months to get here.

"Without Gandalf's help, we would definitely not be able to get here."

Bilbo said so.

"He sounds like a very clever old man?" Zelin pulled in the reins, making sure that he wouldn't let them go after he left, and then walked with the hobbit to the waiting dwarves on the other side.

"Of course, he is very wise and can always give us the right advice. My ancestors have seen Gandalf when I was a child." Gandalf is an old friend of the Hobbit Tucker family, but he is listening. When Bilbo was leaving with the dwarves, just to celebrate his fiftieth birthday, Zelin was still surprised.

"In that case, Gandalf must be very old."

The older people are, the harder they are to deal with, not to mention that this elder Gandalf is still a powerful wizard.

"Yeah, I don't know how old he is." Bilbo rubbed the tip of his nose.

"But how did you separate?" Zelin asked suddenly, "If the wizard was there, you would definitely not be imprisoned by the elves."

"We separated before entering the dense forest. Gandalf said that he had very important things to do." Bilbo did not seem to know much about Gandalf. It is certain that in this world, wizards are a group of very mysterious characters. As for most people, they don't know much about them.

"Well, thanks a lot, Bilbo."

At the mouth of the dense forest, Bud was loading the barrels washed down by the elves onto the barge. He was surprised by the group of dwarves who suddenly appeared. He hadn't seen a dwarf for a long time. But Thorin didn't want to say too much to Bud. He just asked if he could get weapons and food. They were willing to spend money to buy them.

Unsurprisingly, Bud agreed to such a request in one fell swoop. Even the weapons were, Zelin didn't know that Bud had secretly hidden the weapons in his own home. But life in Changhu Town is indeed getting worse and worse every day. It is not a small financial pressure for him to raise three children at the same time. Especially the mayor is targeting him. In order to protect the children, he cannot let the children go to work in the town. No one knows what the mayor will do.

"We'll see you in the city then, Bud."

Standing on the dock, Zelin waved to Bud who was sailing to Long Lake with a boat of dwarves. Archers have their own ways to allow these dwarves to enter the town. As for what Bud has done or smuggled, the demon hunters don’t care about these things. The mayor’s policy makes people’s lives more difficult and people don’t stay at home. Waiting to be starved to death.

In any case, he and the mayor still have some accounts to settle.

He urged the horse to return to Changhu Town, and when he reached Changqiao, it was already afternoon. The guards were still standing listlessly at the door, as if they hadn't been energetic before. It was only when Zelin, who had gone to the forest to deliver goods, returned, one of them opened his eyes in surprise.

"Hey, look, the delivery guy is back!"

A guard pointed his finger at the demon hunter who was walking up the long bridge in a carriage.

"How is it possible?" Another guard lying on the side basking in the sun pushed away the top hat that blocked his eyes and looked at the bridge. "He, is he back?"

"I thought our dear mayor hoped that his goods were lost halfway?" Zelin asked coldly, turning over and walking off the driving table, and threw the rein to one of the soldiers. "I think the mayor must have explained to you. Some things, right?"

"Uh, I thought it would be an elf coming... Hey, what are you talking about, we don't care if you can come back or not, we only care who is coming." A soldier pointed to the demon hunter. "Since you are back, go quickly. Get the reward from the mayor, don't talk nonsense here."

"Um..." Zelin folded his chest, he could almost infer that the mayor asked these guards here to wait for the elves who came to town to rush the goods. At that time, these guards will testify and put out a picture trying to go to the woods. The appearance of delivery. The one-sided words of a person are definitely not as good as the words of a group of people to convince the elves
