Chapter 159: Trading with the Black Bear Bisorg
After putting away the magic flying carpet, Wayne looked around at the surprised crowd around him, and saw that they were all looking at him with a look of surprise, and Wayne didn't pay much attention to it.
If it was in the wizarding world, he would most likely put away the flying carpet outside the city and walk into the city on foot, which would not attract attention.
But when he came to Middle-earth, Wayne was not ready to be so low-key, and if he wanted to make a name for himself in this world of good and evil, he was supposed to do something high-profile to make people remember your reputation, your story, and your great power.
To sum it up in one simple sentence.
The world needs heroes.
Although he has not yet had the idea of going on a mission to fight against the dark forces, and is in the stage of cultivating obscurity and honing his skills, such things as fame and prestige need to be accumulated slowly.
After looking around, Wayne quickly noticed the location of the blacksmith shop, and also saw the handsome dwarven man with an extraordinary temperament.
Although his memory is a little vague, after seeing the dwarf's appearance and temperament, Wayne quickly determined that this is the famous dwarf handsome guy in the movie, the dwarf prince, and Thorin Oak Shield.
Seeing that the other party was also staring at him carefully, Wayne showed a polite smile on his face, nodded at Thorin, and then walked in front of him instead of the eyes of others, and said directly:
"This dwarven gentleman, my name is Wayne, came to Brie Town in the hope of finding a group of dwarven builders to build a manor for me."
"It's a bit presumptuous, but I've heard that the dwarven craftsmen are highly skilled, and you look like a figure of considerable status among the dwarves, can you introduce me to some dwarven craftsmen?"
Sonny maintained a silent and majestic expression on his face, and looked at the strange man in front of him with sharp eyes, and suddenly noticed that his ears were actually pointed ears like elves, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
Although the man in front of him was strong, not like those tall and weak elves who lived in the forest, he couldn't help but ask:
"What's the matter with your ears, are you an elf?"
When Wayne heard this, he just shook his head lightly and said:
"No, I'm not an elf, but I have some special bloodlines in my body, so I have pointed ears."
"But it has nothing to do with my request, you can treat me as a regular guest, and my manor will definitely need to do business with the blacksmith in the future."
"Of course, if you don't want to tell me the answer, I'll ask the others."
Thorin shook his head, as the leader of the dwarves in Brie Town, he certainly wouldn't refuse the business that came to his door.
Although he was quite curious about the bloodline that Wayne was talking about, and his various wonderful methods, including flying, out of a sense of responsibility to his kindred, he still put down the hammer in his hand, handed it to the dwarven apprentice on the side, and said to Wayne:
"I know all the dwarves in this town, they are all excellent craftsmen, and if you are looking for an architect to help you build a manor, no one will be more suitable than them."
"Let's go, I'll take you to find Bahrain, a master builder among the dwarves, and a group of workers work with him."
"Discuss the specific deal with him yourself!"
After saying these words, Thorin bowed politely to Wayne and said:
"I am the Thorin Oak Shield of House Durin, the leader of the dwarves in this neighborhood."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wayne."
When Wayne heard this, he pretended to be very surprised on his face, and then politely replied, saying:
"I'm glad to see you, too, Prince Thorin."
"I have heard of your bravery in battle with the orcs, and under your leadership, the dwarves of the south live a peaceful life."
"You once cut off the arm of the orc chief Azog, and the name of the oak shield has been passed down to the world."
Hearing Wayne mention Azog and the orcs, Thorin's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred, his grandfather and father, as well as a large number of his kindred, all died at the hands of the orcs, it can be said that every dwarf and the orcs are enemies of life and death, and they will fight for life and death when they meet.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded at Wayne, and then took the initiative to walk in front of the two, preparing to take this mysterious stranger to meet Bahrain together.
Wayne didn't hesitate either, following behind Sonny while admiring the scenery of Brie Town.
To be honest, the scenery of Brie Town is quite peculiar, dwarves, humans, hobbits three different styles of buildings are mixed together, it is difficult to see such a harmonious scene in the wizarding world, on a street, people of different races walk together in harmony, greet each other cordially, smile, and help each other in trouble.
Not many people are surprised to see a human with pointed ears like Wayne here, and in this world, as long as you are not a dark race like an orc, no one will have malicious thoughts about you.
Thorin was silent along the way, and the dwarves on the road would salute him respectfully when they saw him, and Wayne would follow him, drawing the attention of the dwarves as well.
However, as a witcher, he has long been accustomed to all kinds of eyes, and he still calmly admires the scenery of Brie Town.
Suddenly, Wayne's footsteps froze, and he spotted something quite familiar in a square that resembled the center of town, which was a sign standing in a crowded area.
The sign wasn't far from him, and with Wayne's eyesight, he could see the huge bounty on the sign at a glance.
"Please wait, Prince Thorin."
"I'd like to go and take a look at the sign, can I delay for a moment?"
Hearing this, Thorin also turned his head to look at Wayne and the sign, knowing at a glance what he wanted to see.
"Would you like to see the bounty on the black bear Bisorg?"
The dwarven prince had a good temper, neither angry nor impatient, but walked with Wayne towards the sign, explaining as he went:
"It was a huge black bear that only started roaming the nearby forest last year."
"Lying on the ground is two meters tall, standing up four meters tall, can slap a small tree with one claw, bite off the enemy's thigh with one bite, its roar can scare the hearts of ordinary people, and it can run faster than a wild boar."
"No one knows where it came from, and no one knows where its nest is?"
"Since the discovery of this black bear, there have been hunters, travelers, woodcutters, and almost eight people who have died at its hands."
"Later, I heard that some human boys wanted to challenge it, but in the end it seemed that two were dead, two were disabled, and three escaped with their crippled companions."
"The officials of the town issued a bounty, three hundred gold coins, a large bounty, and it is said that some of it was made up by the families of the deceased."
Listening to Thorin's introduction, the two of them also walked to the billboard, looking at the lifelike giant bear painted on the billboard, as well as some hints marked under it, the amount of the bounty, and the location of the giant bear.
Wayne suddenly asked Thorin with interest:
"Prince Thorin, do you know who painted the black bear on this bounty?"
"His painting skills are very good, I'm afraid that just seeing the terrifying black bear on this portrait can scare off some of the Leng Tou Qing!"
Hearing Wayne's slightly mocking tone, Thorin frowned, and then said:
"You don't need to call me Prince Thorin, you are not my subject, just call me Thorin."
"I remember that this painting must have been painted by a female painter in the town, and I didn't pay attention to the name, as if one of the dead was his brother, and part of the bounty was also made by her."
After saying this, Thorin looked at Wayne with meaningless eyes and said solemnly:
"Do you want to take this commission?"
"This black bear has rough skin and thick flesh, and the human lads who escaped say that ordinary bows and arrows can barely penetrate its fur, and cannot cause substantial damage to it at all."
"You look strong and have some magical skills, but if you want to challenge the black bear Bizog, you'd better think about it."
Hearing Thorin's advice, Wayne nodded to him in gratitude, and then said:
"Thank you for the reminder, Thorin."
"Actually, in my hometown, what I'm best at is hunting down monsters that are causing trouble."
"I'll take the bounty, but before we do that, let's go meet the Mr. Balin you mentioned."
When Thorin heard this, he didn't say much, but after taking a deep look at Wayne, he continued to lead the way.
