Going back a long time, before Riverdale was destroyed by Smaug, Long Lake was just a small village under its jurisdiction. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Later, because of the ravages of Smaug, the town of Rivervalley inevitably fell into decay, and the people who lived there left their homes one by one and came to the town of Changhu outside of Smaug's sight, which led to the phased growth of the population of the town and the prosperity of the town.

Like Bard, there are many people in Long Lake who are descendants of the original residents of Riverdale. What they brought from Riverdale was more than the black arrow from Bud's house.

The current mayor of Long Lake, Parod, the concubine of the sister of Barblog the Dock Keeper, is also a descendant of the original residents of Riverdale.

Unlike Bard, Parod's ancestor was not a lord or councilor, or even a commoner of status or status, he was just a thug thief who roamed the streets.

In fact, if it weren't for the chaos and the death of Lord Jillian in battle with Smaug, leaving no one to manage the chaos, Parod's ancestors would have been killed by the fleeing residents of Riverdale. You know, in that messy situation, he quietly stole a lot of money from other people.

Luckily, he escaped the limelight, and with the help of his stolen belongings, Parod's ancestors were transformed in the town of Long Lake and offered a position as a sheriff. Then, taking advantage of this position, and finding an excuse to strengthen the security of Long Lake, Parod's ancestors returned to the ruins of Riverdale after Smaug's departure, and quietly got back the dragon hunting bow that had been placed at the head of Riverdale.

Decades passed, and Parod's ancestors grew old, and his fellow refugees died of old age. Taking advantage of the fact that no one knew his origin, he took out the dragon hunting bow that he had collected for a long time, and told a lie to his juniors - decades ago, I was the sheriff lieutenant of Riverdale, and this bow and arrow was handed over to me by the lord during the battle at that time, and in the future, you can also use this bow to prove the origin of your bloodline.

In this way, from generation to generation, lies gradually became facts, and it was with false 'facts' that the Paraud family was able to thrive in Changhu Town, repeatedly succeed in elections, and obtained various positions with real power.

In the end, it is the blood of the gangsters, although they have become the 'big shots' in Changhu Town, the people of the Parold family still can't change those problems that can't be put on the table. For example, greedy for money, and lustful.

"You're talking about the dragon hunting bow that Parod's house keeps, right?" Hearing Chu Xiaobai's words, Bard immediately guessed his thoughts.

If others don't know the history of the Parod family, can he, as a descendant of Jillian, not know? If it weren't for the fact that 'the ancestors failed to kill Smaug' made every generation of his family feel guilty about it, and if it weren't for the fact that the Parod family already had a lot of power and was not so easy to deal with, his ancestors would have stood up and exposed the lies of the Parod family a long time ago.

Bard, like his elders, was very disdainful of Parod. As soon as he thought that the guy had stepped on the face of his ancestors and ascended to the position of mayor, he hated it so much that he wished to knock his stuffy stick at night.

However, anger is anger, but Bard will not put his thoughts into practice, he is not a reckless man, considering that he still has three children to take care of, he can only 'regain the honor of his ancestors' secretly hidden in his heart, endure the humiliation and continue the existing life.

Seeing the twitching corners of Bud's mouth, Chu Xiaobai guessed what he was thinking: "Parod? Is that the mayor's name? Forget it, it doesn't matter. In short, you don't have to worry, we'll get the dragon hunting bow in our hands, well, we won't leave any trouble in our hands. ”

"You don't mean to kill him, do you?" Bud's expression was a little hesitant, and he struggled for a while before he shook his head and persuaded, "No, you can't do that." Well, though I'd love to see that happen. ”

Although I wish that Parod would choke to death while eating, drinking, and walking to death, but, considering that Parod's sudden death will bring chaos to Changhu Town and cause the residents of the town to be affected, Bard still thinks that he can't act rashly.

"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not a demon who kills people at every turn." Chu Xiaobai smiled and shook his head: "That's it, if you're not at ease, you might as well go with us." ”

"Okay, then you wait for me a little, and I'll tell the two children a few words." Nodding with a serious expression, Bard greeted his two daughters: "Tilda, Higrid, children, come here, Dad has a few words to say to you~." ”

The two little ones were sharing fruit in the room, and when they heard Bard's call, they ran out of the room happily. Tilda, who was running in front, was holding a piece of toffee in her mouth, and Higrid, who was in the back, was holding a red apple and happily greeted Bud: "Dad, the apple is so sweet, you can eat it too~~!" ”

"Hehe, Dad is eating later. By the way, leave a few apples, and Dad will make you apple pie at night~. He picked up his daughter and kissed her delicate little face, leading to a burst of laughter as crisp as a bell. Bard's expression was very soft, and he was completely free of his previous resentment: "Children, Dad is going to go out with them and will be back soon, you guys stay at home and don't go out, you know?" ”

"But Dad, didn't you say you were going to wait for Brother Bane to come back and have dinner together? By the way, when will Brother Bane come back? "Bane is the son of Bard and the older brother of the two sisters.

"Bane should be back soon." Bud smiled and pinched his daughter's nose, "You two are waiting for Bane at home, and I'll go out with them." Well, I'll be back soon, I promise, before dinner, okay? ”

"Bud, why don't we leave someone to stay with the kids? I mean, if you trust us. Seeing that Bud was still a little uneasy, Chu Xiaobai made a suggestion on the side.

Without waiting for Bard to answer, he waved his hand again, summoning Xiaobai out of the space. (He has just arrived in Changhu Town, and Xiao Xiaobai has not yet begun to advance, and has not become a light cocoon form that cannot move freely outside the space casually.) ）

Whether it was Aragorn or a dwarf or elf, Bard probably wouldn't be at ease - after all, it was the first time they met, and no matter how generous they were, it was impossible to trust each other unreservedly. However, Chu Xiaobai summoned Xiao Xiaobai, and the situation was different.

Xiaoxiaobai looks delicate and cute, and her body is still glowing with gentle white light, and her image is extremely positive. Moreover, she is small, and she doesn't look like she has the ability to hurt her daughter. Seeing Xiaoxiaobai, Bud was immediately relieved.

The attitude of the two little girls was also one of the reasons for Bard to nod his head in relief. The little ones have never seen such a magical creature as Xiao Xiaobai, and Xiao Xiaobai is as cute as a hardcover version of a doll, which happens to be very good for the little girl's appetite, so the two little ones immediately focused all their attention on her and couldn't wait to get close to her.

With Xiaoxiaobai by her side, you don't have to worry about your two daughters getting lost. Bard finally put his mind at ease, and left the house with Chu Xiaobai and the others, and walked to the town mayor Parod's house.

Like many wealthy people, the Parod family was not in the center of the town, but occupied a large area on the edge of the town, with a garden far larger than the average home. Although it is not the size of a lord or a king, it is enough to be called a luxury.

"Bud, what are you doing here instead of fishing on the lake?" Seeing Bard from afar, the guards at the gate of the garden stepped out first. However, he didn't welcome Bud, but laughed at him with a smile and disdain.

Perhaps afraid that Bard would expose his family's lies, or perhaps because he was afraid that Bard would assume the identity of a descendant of Jillian to win the support of the townspeople, and then threaten his position as mayor, Parod has been secretly stumbling and pouring black water on Bard.

The top is good, and the bottom is effective. Under the influence of Parod, the people around him also do not have a good face for Bud, and some people with a snarky personality will even take pleasure in bullying Bud. For example, the guard in front of him, he is one of Parod's doglegs, and he is also one of the people who usually like to bully Bud the most.

"Carl, I'm looking for the mayor for something, please inform me ......."

"Something? Yo~~, you little fisherman, what can you do to find the town chief? Do you want to send two good fish to the mayor? Hahahaha~~! The guard named Carl laughed provocatively, and looked at Bard several times with a very rude look: "By the way, where is your fish?" If you don't take out the fish, how can I inform you? ”

"You~!" Being humiliated is just a common thing, but being humiliated in front of Chu Xiaobai and others still makes Bard a little angry.

But he couldn't make a big fuss, so Bard could only endure the anger in his heart, and once again put on a requesting attitude: "That, I really have something to find the mayor, Carl, you ......." ”

"Bud, that's enough~." Not only can't see the attitude of the guard in front of him, but also thinks that a good person like Bard should not be insulted like this. When Bard wanted to continue to ask for help, Chu Xiaobai suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him: "No need to be so polite, just a little minion." In fact, after today, you don't have to be polite to them anymore. ”

"Yo~, who are you? Can you say that? You won't be afraid ....... ”

"It's really verbose~." Too lazy to talk too much to this kind of little minion, Chu Xiaobai shook his head and continued to walk towards the gate, while casually pulling out his wand and tapping at the guards who were still arrogant: "All petrified~." ”

In an instant, a living person was turned into a stone statue.

Not only because the scene in front of him was too magical, but also because he misunderstood that Carl had been killed, Bard was shocked and froze in place.

"What are you waiting for?" Turning his head and seeing Bud's expression, he realized that he might have misunderstood, Chu Xiaobai explained with a smile: "Don't worry, he's not dead, I'll untie him when we come out." Now, let's catch up, there's still business to do. ”
