Chapter 588: The Reason Why the Dwarves Were Trapped
When the guards opened the gate, Nightblanc was greeted by a shelf full of weapons, including hatchets, swords, spears, and more.
Then, when Alfred took out the warrant from one of the guards, the guard immediately waved his hand, and then more than a dozen guards entered the arsenal one after another to transport some weapons that looked a little dilapidated.
More than half of the weapons were made of spears, occasionally mixed with a small number of short axes and sharp swords, and at the same time, dozens of simple wooden shields made of pure wood were also carried out, and these wooden shields were so simple that even the thin layer of iron on the outside was not wrapped in a layer.
To be honest, such a wooden shield can only defend against arrows fired from a distance, and Night Edge has no confidence in the sharp blade slash used in melee combat.
However, this was also expected by him, after all, what he spent was only the price of a cabbage of 5 gold coins, and it was already very good to be able to get a weapon of this quality, and the most important thing was that these wooden shields were not purchased with additional money, they were given away like a giveaway.
Therefore, for the quality of these weapons, Yefeng really can't ask too much.
Subsequently, at Alfred's instructions, the guards distributed the weapons to all the slave warriors in the rear.
It can be seen that although the guards knew very well in their hearts that these slave warriors were tamed, when they distributed these weapons to the slave warriors, their vigilance also increased dramatically.
After all, no matter how worn out these weapons are, they can also be fatal when they penetrate people's bodies!
Therefore, after distributing the weapons, these guards couldn't help but subconsciously use some force in their hands, and at the same time, in the corner that everyone couldn't see, there was actually a team of more than twenty archers guarding and hiding nearby.
At this time, after finishing the work of distributing weapons, I saw Alfred also walking over with a pile of paper documents with a smile on his face.
"This is the contract of these slaves, and we will keep a copy of this contract, and we will also record the information of the families of these slave fighters."
"Now the lives of these slave warriors are in your hands!"
After taking these documents from Alfred's hand, Night Feng casually opened these documents and browsed them roughly, and found that in addition to recording the slave warrior's name, place of origin, specialties and why he was demoted to a slave, these documents also recorded the slave warrior's family information.
At the same time, he also discovered that now all the people of these slave warriors have also changed to his name - B?M.
Smiling and holding Alfred, he held out his hands: "Thank you so much for your help!" ”
"That's right! Now I'll give you the rest of the balance. ”
As he spoke, Ye Feng also took out two large bags from his arms, which were naturally filled with gold coins in advance, one bag contained 1,050 gold coins, and the two bags together were the remaining 2,100 gold coins.
Alfred waved his hand, and the guards who followed him stepped forward to take the two bags from Nightblad.
Then the two guards, who were carrying bags full of gold coins, were also escorted by a dozen guards in the direction of the town hall.
At this time, after the guards escorted the gold coins away, Night Blade quietly handed over a small bag of gold coins while shaking Alfred's hand.
When Alfred quietly opened the bag, he saw dozens of golden coins lying quietly in the bag.
At the same time, Ye Feng's seductive voice came to his ears: "Because of my business, I really can't help but let you be busy for a day, and this little heart is not respectful." ”
"That's right! My lord has one more thing that I would like to ask for my help, and I would like to ask my lord to help me find a few small boats so that I can transport these hundred slave warriors to the opposite shore. ”
"Please, sir!"
"Hey, hey!" I saw that Alfred put the small bag handed over by Yefeng into his arms very unnoticed, and said with a very righteous and awe-inspiring smile: "It is naturally obligatory to be able to help a friend. ”
"Don't worry, but it's almost afternoon, so if you're not in a hurry, then wait until early tomorrow morning."
"After all, it's really dangerous to camp in the wild at night."
For Alfred's proposal, Night Blade only hesitated for a moment and readily agreed, after all, he did need a certain amount of time to find the dwarven warriors and his party.
Alfred then summoned a few guards and whispered a few words, and then he left in a hurry.
As for the remaining dozens of guards, they took these slave warriors to the ferry, and waited until the next morning to get on the boat and set off.
At the same time, these guards also knew very well that Yefeng was a rich man, so they were also very diligent in serving him, and the purpose was naturally to be rewarded after being able to please Yefeng, the rich man, in luck.
For these guards, who are just mixing to the level of food and clothing, a little reward from some rich people can greatly improve the living environment of their families.
Therefore, in such a warm atmosphere, Yefeng also easily asked for some information about this town, such as the location of Bud's home, and of course, where he could spend the night very happily, about the latter, but the guards took the initiative to tell him this information.
Subsequently, after generously rewarding each of these dozens of guards with a few gold coins, the enthusiasm of these guards for their work became more and more intense.
After separating from the guards, Nightfront also walked in the direction where the Bard family was located that he had heard from the guards.
After a few questioning of the fishermen, he soon came to the front of Bard's house.
In fact, the town is not very big in the first place, and if you look at it in a straight line, it would have taken half an hour to walk from one end of the town to the other.
It's just that the dense labyrinth-like roads on the town are full of twists and turns, and it is easy for people to fork the road.
Therefore, if a stranger has just entered Changhu Town, it is likely that it will not take a day to get out.
At this time, when Nightfront finally found the location of Bud's home, he also discovered that there were some suspicious spies-like human beings on the edge of Bud's home.
For example, the two fishermen sitting in front of the Bard Gate pretending to be fishing, but they did not pay attention to the fishing rod at all, but were more cautiously observing the movements around them.
And they were fishing alternately on the left and right, so that they could observe almost all directions, and what convinced him even more was that he later found that the line on the rod of one of the fishermen had clearly shaken, so it seemed that some prey had been hooked.
But the fisherman did not lift the rod until the line was calm again.
Obviously he is a fisherman, but he doesn't harvest the fish after it has been hooked, is there a problem with this?
Then, when Nightfeng walked up to the door of Bud's house and knocked on the door of his house, he instantly felt as if he was being watched by several streams of gaze.
"Knock knock!"
When there was a rhythmic knock on the wooden door, after a while, the door was carefully opened.
At this time, Ye Feng saw a rather delicate and cute girl carefully poking out of the portal, and she was obviously startled when she saw Ye Feng: "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Huh!" Ye Feng smiled and said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, I'm here to find someone!" ”
"I don't know if your dad is at home now, can I go in now?"
Hearing this, the little girl's face instantly showed embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry, my dad just went out!" ”
"If you're looking for him, you can tell me your name, and I'll pass it on to him."
Ye Feng waved his hand: "Hehe! That's not necessary, because the people I'm looking for aren't your father, but the dwarves that your father brought back! ”
"You ......" Hearing the dwarf from Yefeng's mouth, the little girl's face was instantly filled with a panicked expression.
At this time, Ye Feng hurriedly put his finger in front of his mouth and said, "Don't worry, little girl!" ”
"Actually, I'm a friend of those dwarves, but I'm just temporarily separated on the road."
"If you don't believe me, then you can go in and ask them, and I'll be standing here waiting."
"Okay!" I saw the little girl hesitate and said, "Then I will close the door now, you wait a minute!" ”
Then, the little girl quickly closed the door again, but after a while, the door was opened again, this time it was the same little girl, but this time the girl's face was not as vigilant as before.
After inviting Ye Feng into the room, the little girl quickly closed the door again, and in the next second, Ye Feng suddenly felt his body being violently impacted.
When I looked down, I saw a dwarven warrior hugging his body warmly, which was actually the etiquette between the best friends of the dwarf clan.
Don't look at the dwarves are not big, their strength is definitely not small, and their short bodies contain huge energy.
At this time, a familiar voice sounded in Ye Feng's ears, and when he looked around, he saw more than a dozen dwarves walking out of the corner of the room.
Dwarven King Thorin! Bahrain! Dewalin!
and the dwarves such as Chili and Fili were all present.
Seeing the appearance of the night blade, the dwarves present were also very happy, and under his inquiry, they knew why the dwarves and his party were still trapped here in Changhu Town, and did not arrive at the observatory of the lonely mountain as expected.
It turned out that after separating from Nightfeng and the wizard Gandalf, the dwarves on the raft also arrived at the shore of Long Lake smoothly and safely.
However, at this time, the dwarves were in a rather embarrassing situation, that is, the raft they were setting up had unfortunately hit the rocks several times in the process of drifting, although they were lucky enough to reach the shore of the long lake, but the raft itself was already crumbling, and it seemed that it would fall apart in the next second.
At this time, the dwarves happened to run into Bud who had just returned the empty barrel from the forest elves, and then when the dwarves wanted Bud to take them into Longlake Town, they were rejected by Bud.
In fact, because most of the wealth of Changhu Town relies on trading with forest elves, the status of forest elves in Changhu Town is very important.
It is precisely because of this that the number of dwarves going to the Lonely Mountain pilgrimage has been decreasing in recent years, in fact, the main reason is that the mayor of the town deliberately blocked the dwarves' gateway to the Lonely Mountain.
In fact, it has been clearly stipulated in the town for a long time that dwarves are strictly forbidden to enter Changhu Town without the permission of the mayor, because Changhu Town is built on the only way to go to Lonely Mountain, and if you want to go to Lonely Mountain, you can only go to the edge of Changhu Town.
And the dwarves who have lost their rafts, the only hope is the small boat in front of Bard.
In the end, though, Balin the Dwarf offered twice the price to get Bard to agree to take them into Long Lake and send them to the other side.
However, because Bard's current ship does not belong to him, but belongs to the town's public property, he must first bring the boat and the barrels back to Longlake, and then wait until a few days later, and then send the dwarves out again, and then carry the boat to the forest elf kingdom to deliver the barrels, and then send the dwarves to the other side by the way.
Because it is not every day to transport wine barrels to and from the Forest Elf Kingdom, it is almost once every two or three days or so.
It is precisely because of this that the dwarves and their party can only be trapped here temporarily, but fortunately, there are still several days left before the last day of the Turin Day stipulated on the map, so although they are irritable, the dwarves and their party can only endure and wait.
In fact, if Nightfront hadn't arrived today, the dwarves would have left early tomorrow morning with Bard's barrel-carrying boat.
It is worth mentioning that although the dwarves were forced to give up long weapons such as shields because they had to hide in barrels to enter Long Lake Town, weapons such as short axes and blades were successfully brought in.
Therefore, the dwarves were not forced to risk stealing from the town's arsenal because of the lack of weapons as in the plot. 166 Reading Network
