Chapter Forty-Nine: Take the Black Arrow

I don't know if it's fate or coincidence, by the lake, Xiao Yechen and they met a man named Bard, that is, the hero who slays the dragon in the original book.

Seeing Bud, a man who supported the whole family by himself, Xiao Yechen had a slight affection, and asked him to help his group cross the river and go to Changhu Town for the price of a bag of gold coins.

Bade thanked Xiao Yechen and said that Changhu Town refused to allow outsiders to enter, and persuaded them to enter without concealing their whereabouts. But Xiao Yechen shook his head and said: "Don't worry, we won't cause you trouble, and the mayor won't dare to trouble me, you just need to drive the boat." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yechen could not be persuaded by Bad Bud, he stopped saying a word, and directly drove the boat into Changhu Town with the team.

When he came to the level, Xiao Yechen and his entourage, just like in the original book, still met the mayor's dogleg - Alfred, a greedy and shameless villain who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

Seeing Xiao Yechen and the others on Bud's boat, Alfred's eyes lit up, and he shouted to Bard arrogantly: "Hey, Bud, my boatman, don't you know that outsiders are not welcome in our Changhu Town?" Or is the mayor's words just nonsense for him? Or do you want to go to jail? ”

"Alfred, are you sure you're going to put me in jail? Do you know who my boat is? They are guests of the forest kingdom! ”

After sailing on the lake for more than half an hour, from Xiao Yechen's mouth, Bard also knew that they were coming from the Elven Castle, although he didn't know their purpose, but the fox and the tiger were arrogant and intimidated Alfred, and Bard was still very happy!

Alfred was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly looked at Xiao Yechen and the others, and then frowned, the contradiction between the elves and the dwarves is that the children in Changhu Town know that just these dwarves, plus a human, are the distinguished guests of the Forest Kingdom?

Although there was a special temperament in that human, it was not a reason for him to believe it!

Alfred's face was full of doubts, Bud's words made it difficult for him to choose, although he doubted the facts, but if the other party was really a distinguished guest of the Forest Kingdom, it was not something he could provoke!

With his eyes rolling, Alfred came to Xiao Yechen's side and asked cautiously, "Sir, I don't know if you have any evidence to prove that you are a distinguished guest from the Forest Kingdom?" If you have one, please show it up! You know, I'm the captain of the escort team in Long Lake Town, and I need to be responsible for the safety here! ”

Xiao Yechen frowned, and then the silver light flashed in his hand, and the elf sword was already on Alfred's neck: "You-aren't afraid of death?" ”

"Ah———! Sir, there is ...... If you have something to say, sir! Please, I'm just a little person! Xiao Yechen's movements startled Alfred, feeling the coldness on his neck, he couldn't help but tremble his legs, his head broke out in a cold sweat, and he was almost about to kneel.

"Humph! Do you know this sword? A trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, Xiao Yechen didn't have a good air.

"Huh? Sword? Know, this is the elven sword, I know! Alfred was stunned for a moment, then glanced at it and quickly replied.

"Very well, since you know each other, then go and call your mayor, I'll wait for him at Bud's house, understand?" Retracting the elven sword, Xiao Yechen commanded.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll be there right away! Xiao Yechen's words made Alfred feel pardoned, and immediately ran to the mayor with the guards.

Looking at the stunned Bud, Xiao Yechen smiled slightly and said, "Let's go, Bud, take us to your house!" ”

"Oh, okay! ......" While rowing, Bard opened his mouth in a trance, but said nothing.

When he came to Bud's house, Xiao Yechen met several of his children, each of whom was cute and sensible. After chatting with Bard for a while, Xiao Yechen began to get down to business: "Bud, sell me your black arrow!" ”

"Huh? What the! You...... How do you know? Bard was shocked and incredulous.

The dwarves next to them were also surprised, they didn't expect to meet someone casually, it turned out to be a descendant of the former mayor of Changhu Town, Ji Ruian.

"You don't have to worry about how I know, now, give me the black arrow!"

"No, you have to tell you what to do with the Black Arrow?"

Bard changed his previous smile and said in a firm tone.

"Clever don't you think I'm going to do?" The corners of Xiao Yechen's mouth were slightly raised, and there was an inexplicable taste in his words.

"You! You're going to slay a dragon?! Bard's face was full of shock, and as if he remembered something, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, you can't do this, Smaug's ferocity is not something you can imagine!" Anger it, and the entire town of Long Lake will be destroyed! ”

As a descendant of Girion, Bard deeply understands the power of Smaug, and understands the consequences of angering Smaug, so he did not hesitate to reject Xiao Yechen.

"Alas! Do you have no faith in me! You know, your grandfather Girion was able to shoot a scale from Smaug, so why can't I slay a dragon? ”

Xiao Yechen's faint words sounded in Bud's ears, Bud's pupils shrank, and he said in surprise: "Do you believe this legend?" Even the dwarf next to him was shocked.

Xiao Yechen nodded, got up and walked to the kitchen, reached out and took off the stick that was hanging in the air to hang sundries, and then with a shake, a sharp black arrow feather appeared in his hand.

The black arrow was dark throughout, with a leaf-like hole at the tip of the arrow, and the body of the arrow was covered with mysterious runes, and an inexplicable aura flowed on it.

Seeing Xiao Yechen directly take out the black arrow he had hidden, Bard was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand how Xiao Yechen found it at all, you know, this was hidden by him with his own hands, except for him, no one else knew!

Completely unable to figure it out, Bard shook his head helplessly and bitterly, and had no idea of recapturing the black arrow, he knew that since the other party had the idea of slaying the dragon, his strength would not be weak. And even if he takes it back, when the mayor comes, he still has to hand it over obediently.

With a gloomy look, Bud silently returned to the room, no longer speaking, Xiao Yechen put the black arrow into the space, threw a bag of gold coins to Bade's son, and also sat on the seat to recuperate.

Not long after, the mayor of Changhu Town arrived, and after confirming that Xiao Yechen and the others were honored guests of the Forest Kingdom, the mayor showed ten thousand favors and invited them to the mayor's mansion as guests.

Xiao Yechen shook his head and refused, but only ordered the mayor to prepare a ship immediately and send them to Irub. The mayor's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Xiao, did you go to Irubor to reopen Irubor for that prophecy?" ”

Facing the other party's expectant eyes, Xiao Yechen nodded, and without waiting for the other party to speak, he said, "Okay, I know what you have to say." If we can get the job out of Irubour, Thorin will give some of his fortune to the town of Long Lake, and we won't let you work in vain! ”

He then turned to Thorin and asked, "Did you say yes, Thorin?" ”

Thorin nodded, walked up to the mayor, and said cautiously: "Don't worry, I, Thorin, as the heir of the King of the Spirit Capital, promise you that as long as we dwarves recapture Irub, I will definitely give you a part of the property!" ”
