08. Iron Hills
Wang Bo took in everyone's expressions and said slowly: "Since no one has come forward, it means that you agree with me. In that case, I'm going to appoint the mayor of Long Lake. ”
He glanced around and said, "I remember that in the town of Long Lake, there was a man whose ancestor once fought against Smaug, where was he?" ”
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows what Wang Bo means by this, is it possible that he is settling accounts after the autumn?
A down-and-out long-haired man walked out of the crowd, he stood in front of the red dragon, raised his head and looked directly at Wang Bo and said: "My ancestors once fought against Smaug, if you are to avenge Smaug, please kill me, this has nothing to do with the other people of Changhu Town." ”
"What's your name?" Wang Bo lowered his head and looked at the down-and-out man.
"Bard."
"Good name." When Wang Bo heard this name, he couldn't help but sigh in admiration, he remembered that in the plot of The Hobbit, Smaug seemed to be killed by this man.
Wang Bo looked at Bard carefully, he was an ordinary person, who knew neither witchcraft nor magic.
But it can kill Smaug.
Thinking about it this way, Smaug seems to be very aggrieved when he dies.
A dignified dragon, even against Gandalf, may not lose, but died at the hands of an ordinary human, this is simply fate.
"You're courageous, Bud." Wang Bo said, "But don't worry, I am not a tyrant, but a benevolent and great king, and your courage has won my appreciation, Bard." ”
With one hand and a finger, gold coins appeared out of thin air and landed on the ground with a pleasant sound.
Under the gaze of the crowd, the gold coins piled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a small mountain.
This pile of gold coins was carried by Wang Bo from Gushan, and for the entire Gushan, it was just a drop in the penny.
The residents of Changhu Town looked at the pile of gold coins, their eyes gradually became greedy, if it weren't for the red dragon here, maybe this group of people would have swarmed up and snatched up the gold coins.
Human nature is like this, Wang Bo has no choice but to turn a blind eye.
"Bard." Wang Bo said: "From now on, you are the mayor of Changhu Town, and you will manage this pile of gold coins, I will give you a task, you dare to take it." ”
Bard didn't expect a man who had tamed the dragon to appreciate himself so much, and after hesitating for a few moments, after making sure that he had no way to resist, he bowed his head and agreed.
"I do."
"Good." Wang Bo nodded with satisfaction and said, "My purpose is very simple, I want to make Rivervalley Town glorious again, from now on, you will use these gold coins to help me rebuild Rivervalley Town." ”
When Bard heard that Wang Bo wanted to rebuild River Valley Town, he couldn't help but be more and more surprised, in fact, he also had such thoughts, but he had the heart but was powerless, and now with Wang Bo's support, he suddenly became excited.
He hurriedly knelt on one knee, "Do as you command, great king of the lonely mountain. ”
"Good." With a wave of his hand, Wang Bo took out a large pile of food from the Time Villa and placed it next to the gold coins, still piled up into a hill.
"I gave you all this food and gold coins, as long as you are willing to accept my rule and work for me, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Seeing that Wang Bo was so generous, the people of Changhu Town learned from Bard one by one and knelt at Wang Bo's feet.
"We are willing to accept your rule, great King of the Lonely Mountain."
Wang Bo jumped off the red dragon and walked in front of Bud, "It's up to you to rebuild Riverdale Town, Bud, don't let me down. ”
"Rest assured, great King of the Lonely Mountain." Bud patted his chest vigorously and said with a resolute face, "I will never let you down." ”
"Good." Wang Bo pointed at the red dragon Margaret and said, "I will leave this red dragon here to assist you in your work, if you have anything that you can't solve, you can ask the red dragon for help at any time." ”
Bard was stunned and looked at the red dragon.
The red dragon nodded and said to Wang Bo, "Follow the master's orders." ”
Wang Bo patted Budd on the shoulder and left.
The reason why he left the red dragon here was to let the red dragon protect Bud and maintain order by the way.
After all, Bard was brought up by Wang Bo, and his foundation is still shallow, while the former mayor of Changhu Town was elected by everyone and has a certain skill and ability.
If he starts from his heart and plots against Bud, Bard may not be able to bear it.
So Wang Bo left the red dragon Margaret, with her, even if the former mayor was unwilling, he didn't dare to act rashly.
The red dragon Margaret is different from the disgraceful Smaug, she is a rare dragon with magic power in the Marvel world, and later after the baptism of the magic pool, the magic power has increased dozens of times, and she has learned a lot of magic from Wang Bo.
Don't look at the size and size of Smaug, but if you really fight, with a lot of magic, it will not be a problem to defeat Smaug.
In this world, there is probably no one other than Enu who is Margaret's opponent.
Not even Maia.
So as long as Wang Bo keeps the red dragon Margaret here, he is not afraid of Bud's accident.
After settling the matter in Riverdale, Wang Bo returned to the Lonely Mountain, summoned a group of mechanical soldiers from the Time Villa, dressed them as humans, and sent them to Iron Hill.
Iron Hill is not far from Gushan, just in the northeast of Gushan Mountain, is a continuous hill. The Iron Hills are the source of the Karnen River and, as the name suggests, are rich in iron ore and are home to the longbearded dwarves.
Iron ore is produced in the iron hills, but gold may not be so abundant. The Dwarves of the Iron Hills, though prosperous, are not so wealthy compared to their other relatives.
After the fall of the Lonely Mountain, the dwarves of the Lonely Hill once asked the dwarves of the Iron Hills for help, hoping that the Iron Hills would send the dwarves to help them retake the Lonely Mountain.
But there is no doubt that the dwarves of the Iron Hills refused.
They didn't want to sacrifice their strength to Smaug's.
After all, Smaug's strength is obvious to all.
Wang Bo sent people to Iron Hills for a very simple purpose, that is, he wanted to establish trade relations with the dwarves of Iron Hills, after all, the dwarves are skilled craftsmen, and the weapons they create are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
The difference between the high-quality weapons created by humans and the high-quality weapons created by dwarves is too far.
For example, the weapon that killed Smaug was crafted by the dwarves.
Without such a weapon, Bard might not have been able to kill Smaug.
Therefore, Wang Bo wants to buy some weapons from the dwarves as a collection, of course, if the dwarves can create weapons that are not inferior to Gangenir, it will be even better.
