Chapter 1078 1060 Bard

Chapter 1078 1060. Bard

Long Lake Town is mostly built with wooden boards, which results in very poor sound insulation. Basically, the noisy voices of people two streets away can be heard.

The townspeople are busy and noisy, and the noise basically fills most of the day.

Originally, because of this problem, Lan En had no confidence in being able to find the dwarves by hearing in such a noisy environment.

If he had implanted the enhanced organ [Leman's Ear] at this time, it would be possible.

But this place is different.

Many people around are monitoring this two-story wooden house, and these monitors are not as noisy and busy as ordinary people.

They are all doing their own things quietly.

This reduces a lot of the surrounding noise content, allowing Lan En to use his extraordinary senses as a demon hunter to hear some information in a not-too-far location.

The voices that he cares about are rough and jumpy, and even if they are mixed with angry complaints, they sound quite interesting.

It's the dwarves!

"Found it."

Lan En's expression was not very surprised. After all, he and Flannel Ball had searched almost a quarter of the area of ​​Changhu Town, so it was not surprising to encounter it.

Immediately, Lan En turned over and jumped down from the second-floor corridor of the wooden building where he was, and walked towards the two-story wooden house.

There were three surveillance personnel in front of the wooden house. They immediately found this abnormal figure walking straight towards their surveillance target.

But the three people did not dare to move at all.

After all, they were just surveillance, not even fighting. Such a character who was two heads taller than ordinary people and whose muscles seemed to be able to crush people approached them, and they had no intention of standing up to block the way.

"But don't you think that it is abnormal that you didn't react after seeing me?"

The man who was sitting on the fishing boat in the middle of the waterway and seemed to be fishing with a hook trembled uncontrollably.

His fishing boat was across the middle of the waterway and also served as a floating bridge.

When Lan En came over, the big hand just pressed on his neck, and the man rolled his eyes and lay limply in the boat.

The other two people who were looking at the main entrance of the two-story wooden house were already drooling nervously when they saw Lan En walking towards them.

When he really made a move, they simply threw away the pottery and tapestries in their hands, pretending to appreciate and ask about the price, and turned around to run.

But before they could really take two steps, a flannel ball fell from the sky, holding his helmet in one hand and a white radish that he got from nowhere in the other.

After two "dong dong" sounds, he stood between the two people.

Then the human body fell to the ground.

The kitten threw away the white radish, put on his helmet again, and stretched out his paw to make a "yeah" gesture.

"Handsome cat!"

Lan En nodded twice to agree with the flannel ball's self-intoxication, and then climbed up the stairs to the two-story wooden house.

At this point, the vague words of the dwarves just now were finally confirmed.

"What is this? I've never seen such a weapon."

"This is a barbed spear, modified from a harpoon. That's a square-headed hammer, modified from a blacksmith's hammer."

"We paid! Real silver coins! You give us these broken copper and iron?"

When the dwarves were in Rivendell, they had a good relationship with Lann, Flannel Ball, and Kirin, and they could play together.

So the witcher could distinguish the voices of these thirteen dwarves and a hobbit, but there was a strange tone mixed in.

And this strange tone sounded helpless to explain to the dwarf customers.

"We are going to the wilderness full of dangers. To face danger, we need to use real good swords and guns! Steel, top-grade steel! Not iron! And soaked in water!"

"Do you want to kill us?"

From the sound, it was Bofur, a guy with a good personality among the dwarves, but he was also very angry at this time.

Lann did not delay, and simply stood outside the door on the second floor and knocked on the door.

The knock on the door was "dong dong dong", and the quarrel inside suddenly stopped, followed by a noisy collision.

Presumably, the weapons that the dwarves had sneered at just now have now been used by each of them.

And the unfamiliar voice of Lan En hurriedly whispered to comfort the dwarves.

"Don't do it! Do you want to kill someone in my house? Stop, I'll handle it!"

After a while of chaos, the thin wooden door that was better than nothing in front of Lan En opened a crack cautiously.

"What's the matter." The face of a human man who had a handsome foundation but was now weathered was revealed in the crack. "What's the matter?!"

After he opened the door, the first half of his sentence was quite fluent, but he was wary.

But when he found that he could only see a person's chest when he looked out of the door, he stuttered and realized that something was wrong.

His height was just right for Lan En's bearskin cape.

The bearskin cape treated and enchanted by Berengar was undoubtedly shiny and slippery, revealing preciousness and ferocity.

The man who opened the door raised his head stiffly, and cold sweat could be seen on his forehead.

Until he finally looked into the eyes of Lan En who was looking down.

"You can call me Lan En, sir. I am at your service."

"Oh, I am in Bad, and I am also at your service."

Lan En's eyes narrowed slightly. The man in front of him was polite, but a little unfamiliar.

And this windbreaker looks like it has been patched a lot and has been worn for several years.

The family is in trouble?

Mentos quickly combined the information and came up with a guess. But Lan En lowered the filing level of this information in his mind. He was not here to be a detective now.

"I'm here to see a group of dwarf friends. Is it convenient?"

As Lan En spoke, he stretched out his hand towards the room as if questioning.

"Friends?" Bard was a little surprised. Do these dwarves know elves?

Aren't they not willing to deal with it?

But before he could react or think, the dwarves behind him shouted happily.

"Hey! It's Lan guys!"

Hearing the cheers of the dwarves, Bard still gave way to the door, although he still frowned suspiciously.

The witcher lowered his head and walked in, followed by Velvet Ball, and raised his little paw to greet the confused Bard.

"Hello, gentlemen."

Lan En came in with his head lowered and was careful not to collide with the clothes drying pole hanging in the room.

"It's so nice to meet you, Lan!"

Thorin's nephew, Fili, jumped over and patted the witcher's lowered hand.

The other dwarves were also beaming. Only Thorin stood by the window, looking out with deep eyes. Balin, who looked like Santa Claus, was accompanying him.

Seeing Lan En walking in, they just forced a smile at the witcher.

What Lan En didn't hear just now was that there were three children in Bud's family.

A big boy, a big girl, and a little girl.

When they saw a room full of strange dwarves, they were not too alarmed. They just sat quietly in the corner of the crowded room.

The boy was okay, but after seeing Lan En's face when he came in, the two girls started covering their mouths and laughing softly, and occasionally jumped excitedly.

It feels like seeing characters in fairy tales come to life. The girls were very polite and, although excited, did not come up to interrupt.

However, the witcher had seen this kind of situation before, so he just nodded politely towards them, which was regarded as a greeting.

"What's going on with you?"

Lan En turned to look at the group of dwarves. They were all wet. In the temperature of this lake, this state was not good.

"He even lost his weapon, as if he was being hunted and had no choice. Gandalf didn't tell me about this."

"Did Gandalf invite you here? What is he doing?"

Bilbo asked, draped in a blanket and sniffling.

He cares about Gandalf.

"He has his own things to do, which is very important, so he asked me to tell you something new."

Lan En looked around at the dwarves and hobbits, and then glanced vaguely in the direction of the Bard family, indicating that it was best to talk about this matter in private.

So the dwarves ignored it with a wink.

"Everything was fine."

Bahrain's now iconic white beard was stuck together from the water, he said with a sigh.

"Gandalf guided us through the magical Mirkwood, but when he received a message from a bird, he turned back into Mirkwood in a hurry."

"We didn't care, after all, Mirkwood came here. But not long after Gandalf left, we encountered a large group of orcs, and they desperately wanted to kill us."

"We had no choice but to jump into the river, hoping that the current would carry us out. And as you know, carrying weapons and armor in the water will only sink to the bottom, so we had to give up most of the equipment."

Speaking of this, Bahrain stroked his beard out of habit, but it hurt him because his beard was wet and tangled, so he smiled bitterly.

"Thanks to the fact that we walked out of the Dark Forest, the remaining river is not very long, otherwise we might have drowned in it."

They lost all their leather armor, chainmail, and all their heavy weapons, such as warhammers and axes, and spears.

Everyone was left with only their personal clothes and a small dagger or a short sword. Only Thorin and Bilbo were not lost in the river because the elves' weapons were light and powerful.

Lan En nodded silently, indicating that he understood what the current situation was. He tilted his head again and saw Thorin's other nephew.

"Kili." Lan En called to him with a frown, "What's wrong with your leg?"

One of the two dwarves who used to be the youngest, lively and trouble-making one in the team is now sitting quietly on the bed with a pale face.

"No, I'm fine."

Kili forced a smile at Lann.

Next to him, Ou Yin, who is a doctor in the team but has bad ears and often has to insert a metal speaker into his ear as a hearing aid, said.

"He was hit by an arrow in his leg, an orc's arrow. I dealt with it in time. We have to wait and see how the effect is."

Lan En nodded and said nothing more.

But Bud next to him intervened in surprise.

"Wait!" This man who should have been handsome when he was young, but now has gray hair on his temples, frowned with a serious look on his face. "Did you just say orcs? Was it the orcs who chased you near the river and jumped into it?"

"Those ugly and cruel murderers."

Thorin said bitterly.

"No, this must be a mistake. How could the orcs appear near here? They disappeared in this area even longer than the dwarves!"

"Maybe history is like this, but now we have to face reality, Bud." Lan lowered his head and said to him. "The orcs are indeed coming."
