legend begins with lord of the rings

Bard spent a day in the Woodland Kingdom, and his personality was very compatible with Thranduil.

Early the next morning, he came to the Woodland Kingdom Hall again.

"I'm going back to Chang Lake Town to have a look. I would like to ask you to take care of the residents of Chang Lake Town here." Bard stood in the hall and asked Thranduil who was sitting on the throne.

"As far as I know, Lake Town is very dangerous now. Why do you want to go back?" Thranduil asked in confusion.

"I want to stop Smaug. This is my mission. The honor of my ancestors does not allow me to escape. Moreover, Lake Town is the place where I grew up after all. If possible, I hope it can be preserved." Bard was carrying a bag behind his back.

Black Arrow's expression gradually became firmer.

Back then, his grandfather Girion failed to hunt a dragon, and was described in various legends as a clown who overestimated his ability to provoke the dragon.

No one wants to believe that Jilian has the ability to hunt dragons.

As a descendant of "Dragon Hunters", Bud wants to make up for the regret left by his grandfather. Being able to kill the dragon with his own hands has been Bud's obsession for many years.

"I wish you a smooth trip. The door to the Woodland Kingdom will always be open to the residents of Long Lake Town." Thranduil sensed Bard's determination to leave and did not try to persuade him.

"Thank you~" Bud bowed slightly to thank him, then turned and walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the port of the Woodland Kingdom, a medium-sized ship was already ready.

Driving this boat, Bud only needs one day to reach Long Lake Town.

However, before the ship left the Woodland Kingdom, Bard heard a slight abnormal noise coming from below the deck before it had traveled far.

"Who is it? Come out!" Bard grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand and shouted towards the bottom of the deck.

This ship was arranged by Bard, so logically there shouldn't be anyone else on board.

"Dad, it's me..." Bayin's voice came from below the deck.

Hearing the voice of his son Bayin, Bader lowered his bow and arrow.

Not long after, Bayin was pulled out from below the deck. The father and son sat down facing each other on the deck.

"Tell me, why did you sneak onto the ship?" Bud asked with a serious expression.

"Because of that..." Bayin pointed to the black arrow package behind Bard and continued: "I know you are going to hunt the dragon, and I also want to help."

"Nonsense, how did you know I was going to hunt dragons?" Bud said with a dark face: "Also, we have left, who will take care of your sister and sister."

"Tilda and the others also know your plan. My action this time also has their support.

As for that package, I secretly opened it before. I already knew it contained our family's ancestral dragon-hunting weapon - the black arrow." Bayin showed a sly expression on his face.

At this point, Bard knew that there was no point in hiding his son anymore. He opened his mouth and said to Bain: "I do intend to kill Smaug this time. If you want to follow me, you must first tell me

I promise: after encountering the dragon, you will not do anything dangerous, everything will be under my command."

"Don't worry, I will listen to you in everything then..." Bayin promised, patting his chest.

…

At this time, in the house of Braga, the old mayor of Changhu Town, Abel was lying leisurely on the rooftop of the tall building.

Under him is a large and comfortable rocking chair, with parasols above his head.

The winter solstice has just passed, and this moment at noon is the perfect time to bask in the sun. Abel said he enjoyed this activity very much.

Black Force was standing sentry on the roof of the building, always observing the surroundings to prevent Smaug from sneak attacks.

While Abel was half asleep, Bilbo climbed up to the rooftop carrying a big tray.

"Abel, it's time for dinner." Bilbo called to the two people on the rooftop and put the tray on the table next to Abel.

"Is it noon?" Abel stretched lazily after being woken up, and then he woke up.

"By the way, Abel, I still haven't learned the thing called "dumplings" you mentioned. When you have time, can you explain it to me in more detail. I still want to try making dumplings again..." Bill

Beau handed a piece of barbecue to Abel and discussed with him how to make dumplings.

The hobbit suddenly fell in love with cooking recently, as if he was possessed by it. Especially after Abel provided him with many unique recipes for delicious food. He could even stay in the kitchen all day long.

"It's really not easy to learn how to make dumplings just by talking about it. I'll show you when I have time... If it doesn't work, I also have quick-frozen dumplings here." Abel said to the hobbit.

The story of dumplings started on the day the three of them returned to Changhu Town. Because that day happened to be the winter solstice, Abel took out a bag of quick-frozen dumplings.

As a result, the hobbits fell in love with this kind of food after eating it. They even humbly asked Abel for advice on how to make it.

Abel was very generous and recommended the method of making dumplings to the hobbits. He also encouraged them to make handmade dumplings.

As a result, the hobbit's nightmare began. No matter how many times he experimented, he still couldn't make delicious handmade dumplings.

Failure did not make the hobbit give up, but made him even more obsessed with making dumplings.

"Heili, you don't have to be so wary of Smaug all the time. That dragon is so big. As long as it comes to Lake Town, it will definitely cause a lot of noise." Abel ignored the hobbit and said to the big man.

Advise.

When the big man heard what Abel said, he nodded honestly.

…

After a boring day, night slowly fell to Changhu Town.

Abel had been basking in the sun for most of the day. At this time, he had returned to the house from the rooftop and had an extra leather jacket on him.

He saw that even now, Black Force still hadn't come in. So, he shouted outside: "Black Force, it's so cold outside, why don't you come in? I told you, you don't have to keep an eye on Smaug."

"I'm fine, I'm not cold..." Hei Li still didn't come in.

In the wide Changhu Lake, a medium-sized boat also arrived at the entrance of Changhu Town.

"We will go directly to the high platform where the dwarf wind crossbow is in a moment. Only there will we have a chance to kill the evil dragon." Bard said to his son huddled at the stern of the boat.

"Okay, Dad. I understand." Bayin replied, wrapping his coat tightly.

"Put this on." Seeing this, Bud took off his coat and threw it to his son.

"I'm not cold..." Bayin said.

Winter has arrived, and it is very cold on the water at night. Although Bain is a little cold, he still does not want his father to have any problems because of taking care of him.

"Put it on when I told you to. There's so much nonsense. Do you think I look very cold?" Badxu said, wiping the sweat on his head.

In order to get to Changhu Town as early as possible, Bud was holding on to Changhao all the way. The heat generated by exercise alone was enough for him to withstand the severe cold.

…

In the middle of the night, when Changhu Town was quiet, a huge black shadow flew over from the mountains in the distance.

It has only been two days, and the wounds on Smaug's body have already scabbed over, which does not affect his movement.

"Death~Fire~"

"Changhu Town, prepare to face my wrath!!!"
