17. Brings friendship
A few days later, there was good news that the town of Riverdale had been rebuilt.
Riverdale was once a human town at the foot of the Lonely Mountain, and before Smaug's arrival, it was very prosperous because of its proximity to the Lonely Mountain, but after Smaug's arrival, Riverdale was in ruins.
The remnants left Riverdale and moved to Long Lake.
After Wang Bo came, he conquered Smaug, appointed Bader as the mayor of Changhu Town, gave money and food, and asked Bader to lead people to rebuild Riverdale Town, and Bader did not live up to Wang Bo's trust.
With a large amount of money and food, as well as the people of Changhu Town, he threw himself into the work of rebuilding River Valley Town.
After so many days of hard work, with the help of Margaret of the Red Dragon, Riverdale was finally rebuilt.
However, when Wang Bo took the time to come to Rivervalley Town, he found that the rebuilt Rivervalley Town was not the same as the previous Rivervalley Town, not even one-third of the previous Rivervalley Town.
No wonder it was completed so quickly.
But in Bard's view, this is enough, and the rebuilt town of Riverdale will still be more than enough to move all of the people of Long Lake.
Even if other places are rebuilt, no one lives in them, and it is still a waste.
So Bard didn't clean up the whole of Riverdale, but only a part of it.
However, Bard believes that more and more people will come to Riverdale when the King of the Lonely Mountain conquers Smaug and news of Riverdale's rebuilding spreads around the world.
When the time comes, he will take the newcomers with him and clean up the rest of Riverdale.
It may not be long before Riverdale will return to its former prosperity.
After listening to Bud's story, Wang Bo couldn't help but look at Bud, this guy is good, not only full of courage, but also flexible, and he is a material for the mayor of the town.
"As of today, you're the mayor of Riverdale, Bud." Wang Bo patted Bard on the shoulder and appointed Bard as the mayor of Riverdale.
Surprised and delighted, Bard bowed his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
To be honest, when Wang Bo asked him to rebuild Riverdale Town, Bard had a vague guess, and now he was naturally happy to see Wang Bo admit it.
He was originally just a small businessman who set up a stall to buy things, but now he has become the ruler of River Valley Town, all of which stems from Wang Bo's attention, and I am naturally extremely grateful to Wang Bo.
As a result, Wang Bo also gained the first diehard member in this world.
Just as Wang Bo was about to visit Riverdale Town under the leadership of Bud, someone suddenly came, and a team appeared outside Riverdale Town. When Wang Bo and Bud came to the outside of Riverdale, they saw a team of dozens of people, riding horses galloping towards Riverdale.
Wang Bo's gaze was sharp, and before the others could see who it was, Wang Bo had already judged the identity of the uninvited guests from the long ears of this group of uninvited guests.
Genie!
Yes, this group of white horses is the elves who live in the dark forest.
At the head was a young elf.
It looks like he is about twenty years old, but the elf is an immortal species, and although he looks young, he is estimated to be older than Wang Bo's grandfather. Maybe the other party is hundreds of years old.
After the young elves arrived in Riverdale with a group of people, the residents of Riverdale were relieved and warmly welcomed the elves.
Back when the inhabitants of Riverdale still lived in Long Lake, they traded with elves, dwarves, and other humans living in this land.
For example, the Iron Hills are rich in iron ore, but there is very little grain, so the dwarves of the Iron Hills often trade with the people of Changhu Town, using sickles, kitchen knives and other tools to exchange food.
The situation in Long Lake is also often traded with the elves who live in the dark forests.
The relationship between the two sides is not hostile, but very friendly.
Therefore, when the elves came, the people laughed very happily.
Bard told Wang Bo, "Your Majesty, the elf at the head is the son of the Elven King of the Woodland Kingdom, Legolas Greenleaf!" ”
When Wang Bo heard it, this name was like thunder.
After all, decades later, during the Holy War of the Ring, Legolas attended the Elon Council in Rivendell at the behest of his father, during which Legolas decided to join the Fellowship of the Ring and escort the Ring bearer Frodo Baggins to Mount Doom to destroy the Ring with Aragorn.
Wang Bo still remembered that in addition to the Holy War of the Ring, this guy also participated in the Battle of the Five Armies with his father and was a superb archer.
Wang Bo looked at this group of elves, although there were dozens of them, but this time they brought very few goods, obviously not like they were here to trade.
Sure enough, when the elves arrived in Riverdale, they asked the local residents about Bard's whereabouts.
It was clear that the elves already knew that Bard was their leader.
Bard glanced at Wang Bo, and Wang Bo said, "Let's go over and have a look." ”
So the two men went up.
Legolas had been to Longlake Town a few times and had met Bud, but the two of them were not actually familiar with each other, he was more familiar with the former mayor of Changhu Town, but that guy was dismissed by Wang Bo.
Seeing Bard this time, Legolas still maintained a anxious and humble attitude, and expressed his intention to Bard, "We came here this time in the hope that Mayor Bard could help us and introduce us to the King of the Lonely Mountain. ”
Bard subconsciously looked at Wang Bo.
Seeing Bud's actions, Legolas turned his gaze to Wang Bo, and seemed to understand something between the lightning and flint, and hurriedly said, "Legolas Green Leaf of the Woodland Kingdom, I pay tribute to you, the great King of the Lonely Mountain. ”
Although the elves live in the dark jungle, they also have their own eyeliner.
This time, they learned from the bird's mouth that a wizard had defeated Smaug, occupied the Lonely Mountain, became the king of the Lonely Mountain, and even made friends with the dwarves of the Iron Hills.
So the elves, after consultation, sent their prince to the Lonely Mountain, to try to meet the king of the Lonely Mountain, and if they could, they also hoped to establish friendship with the king of the Lonely Mountain.
It's just that Legolas didn't expect that after he came to Riverdale, he immediately met the legendary King of the Lonely Mountain.
"Welcome, Prince Legolas, and the other elves." Wang Bo smiled slightly, "I don't know what Prince Legolas is coming all the way to?" ”
Legolas said solemnly: "On behalf of the Woodland Kingdom, I hope to establish diplomatic relations with the Lonely Mountain, and I wonder if the great King of the Lonely Mountain is willing to accept our friendship." ”
