legend begins with lord of the rings

When Abel saw Bard, he was teaching his son swordsmanship. Although Bard was called a sharp archer, his close combat ability was not bad either.

"Uncle Abel, you are here." Bayin greeted Abel happily when he saw him coming in.

Bayin is now fifteen years old, which is the time when his body is growing. In the past six months, his height has reached almost 1.8 meters, and he looks only half a head shorter than Abel.

Logically speaking, Abel is not much older than Bayin, but out of respect, Bayin still calls him Uncle Abel.

"You are becoming more and more like a man, which is very good..." Abel patted the other party's shoulder and said with a smile: "I promised last time that I will give you a gift when you reach the third level of adventurer."

Under Ba Yin's expectant gaze, Abel took off the big sword from his waist and handed it to him.

That's right, Bayin also joined the adventurers early on, and now he has a three-stripe sun pattern pinned to his chest.

Watching Abel take off his sword, Ba Yin's eyes flashed. He looked at the sword reluctantly, then looked at his father, but still did not dare to pick up the sword.

"Take it, I don't have any use for this sword anymore, so I just gave it to you." Abel said with a smile.

Although this sword is easy to use, judging from the last battle against the Balrog, it can no longer keep up with Abel. In the future, Abel's enemies will only become stronger and stronger.

In addition, Abel is now well-known, so he has purchased a more powerful sword for himself.

Abel was very optimistic about the little guy Bayin. Abel had taught him swordsmanship and archery skills a few times before.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that Bayin was half of Abel's disciples. It was appropriate to give this sword that had followed Abel to him.

Seeing his father nodding to him, Bayin happily took the sword. Touching the exquisite sword in his hand, Bayin couldn't put it down.

"You need to strengthen your strength training in the future, otherwise you won't be able to exert its power." Abel rubbed Bain's hair and said.

"I know, thank you Uncle Abel." Bayin said seriously.

At this time, Bud's youngest daughter, Tilda, heard the noise in the yard and ran out.

"Uncle Abel, I also want a gift." Tilda hugged Abel's arm and started acting coquettishly.

"Okay, here's it for you." Abel skillfully took out two bags of candies from his pocket and handed them to the other party.

"Thank you, uncle~" Tilda took her favorite toffee into her arms and thanked her sweetly.

"Eat less sugar, be careful of tooth decay." Abel reminded the other party, and then said: "Don't forget to give your sister a bag too."

"I know! Uncle Abel is always partial, and he won't give me an extra bag even though I'm so cute." Tilda said like a little adult.

"Definitely next time." Abel smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, twisting her hair into a ball.

"Oops, disgusting~" Tilda pouted and ran aside, arranging her hair.

After smiling and watching Abel play with his two children, Bud called the eldest daughter at the door to take Tilda away. After letting Bayin go to train by himself, he took Abel with him.

Came to the living room.

Now Bard is no longer short of money. As the king of the River Valley Kingdom, he also has his own building.

This house is even more magnificent than the previous building owned by the mayor of Changhu Town.

"What's the matter with this visit?" Bud asked after the servant brought tea.

"How is the situation near the capital recently?" Abel took a sip of tea and did not answer the other party's question directly. Instead, he asked a very realistic question.

The River Valley Kingdom is located on the edge of the green forest. Although it covers a large area, it does not have a large population, and there are not many young adults who can fight.

A while ago, Bard gave adventurers a mission to clear out the orcs and giant spiders near the capital.

"The escort team encounters orcs every day, and from time to time they also encounter those giant spiders." Bard answered truthfully.

The residents of the capital mainly rely on farming and animal husbandry to make a living, and residents who go out often encounter harassment from orcs and giant spiders, which also gives Bard a headache for a long time.

"I want to join you and Thranduil to go to the ancient capital of Dol, which is the nest of the giant spider. If the giant spider is eliminated, the green forest will be much safer." Abel said the purpose of coming here.

Bud thought for a while and said: "I can provide money, but I can't provide too many manpower."

This is also the current situation in the capital of the River Valley State. Since the last Battle of Gushan, there has been no excess combat power in the kingdom.

In addition to the Kingdom Guards, some will be lost during normal patrols.

Although the current kingdom seems to be growing rapidly, it is actually in decline.

In this way, the Adventurer's House is an anomaly. After half a year, not only did the adventurers not suffer much losses, but their team has grown stronger and stronger.

"Then let's do this for now. Next, I need you to accompany me to the Woodland Kingdom to see Thranduil's attitude. After all, attacking Dol Gudu is not our family's business," Abel said.

Abel still doesn't know the specific situation in Dolgu City, and he doesn't dare to fill in all the adventurers.

"Okay, I'll go tell Bayin and the others and then I'll follow you." Bud agreed.

"Actually, you can annex some small villages near the Misty Mountains and give them some discounts. I believe many people will be willing to come to the River Valley Kingdom to develop...

With a population base, the Kingdom of River Valley will be able to grow in ten or twenty years." Abel couldn't help but give Bard a few words.

The development of the kingdom and the adventurer's home are actually two development models. The kingdom needs to cultivate its own talents, while the adventurer only needs to absorb immediate combat power.

It seems that the Adventurer's House has taken a trick and has strong combat effectiveness without cultivating talents. In fact, in the long run, if the kingdom is well established, it will have more vitality.

"I will seriously consider it." Bud couldn't digest too much nutrients for a while, so he stood up and walked out the door.

After instructing his son to take care of the house, Bud and Abel came to the Adventurer's House.

It was already very late today, and Abel decided to let Bard stay at the Adventurer's House for one night, and the two of them would go to the Woodland Kingdom tomorrow.

Bard has been to the Adventurer's House several times, and there is a room specially reserved for him. After having a sumptuous dinner, Bard went back to his room to rest.

On Tariel's side, after hearing that Abel was going to the Woodland Kingdom tomorrow, she worked hard all night and finally got Abel to agree to take her with him.

The next day, after Tariel handed over the matter of the Adventurer's House to Heili, he followed Abel and Bard towards the Woodland Kingdom.

After the three of them passed through a narrow path, they arrived at the gate of the Woodland Kingdom.

Seeing the arrival of the former guard captain Tariel, the gatekeeper elf took the three of them into the Woodland Kingdom simply.

This is the first time the female elf has returned to the Woodland Kingdom since she was expelled from the guard team for half a year. Looking at everything familiar around her makes her a little sad.

Abel quickly hugged her to reassure her.
