legend begins with lord of the rings

When Bud drove the big ship to the port in Changhu Town, he saw some suspicious people gathering around the port.

"We're being targeted," Bud whispered to Abel.

Abel looked around, and sure enough he found a dozen homeless people in the crowd. Their clothes were ragged, but their faces and hands were clean, and their eyes were always looking towards this side.

Not long after everyone arrived in Changhu Town, the only person they offended was Fred. Abel soon figured out the whole story.

"They should be the mayor's escort. I have some impression of them...Only the mayor and Freyr can command them." Bard also identified the group of people at this time.

"Haha, there are people who really care about eating but not playing... I don't mind having fun with them." Abel looked around generously with a gentle smile on his face.

When they came into contact with Abel's gaze, the homeless people in disguise began to avoid their eyes.

"You'd better be careful... Fred is not a good person." Bud saw Abel's actions and quickly persuaded him.

The locals all knew that Fred was in cahoots with the mayor, and they took pleasure in squeezing the people and plundering wealth.

If anyone dares to challenge their authority, they will be brutally retaliated against.

"What is the reason that makes you have the illusion that I am a soft persimmon?" Abel turned his head and looked at Bud with a smile.

"you……"

Bud reminded him kindly, but ended up being choked on his words.

"Okay, since the other party wants to play, I also have to show something." Abel smiled and took out a handful of gold coins from his pocket again, waved it in front of Bud's eyes, and said, "This batch of my goods is very valuable. I

One hundred laborers are needed to help transport it."

"You want to attack the escort?" Bud asked in surprise.

"No, I am a legitimate businessman... I just care about the safety of my goods. Isn't this okay?" Abel opened his palms and weighed the gold coins in his hands.

Gold coins glow charmingly in the sun.

"Of course...as you wish, sir." Bud took the gold coins and hurriedly walked into the port.

Looking at Bard's retreating back, Abel turned back and said to the dwarves: "There may be some conflicts in a while, so be prepared first."

"No problem, leave it to me later, I'm good at fighting..." Dwalin said loudly.

"And me..." Fili also started to make noises.

Seeing that the dwarves were all eager to try, Thorin stood up and said with a stern face: "There are only a few days until Turin Day, and we have to reach the Lonely Mountain before then."

Although he did not directly oppose Abel, he still secretly reminded the dwarves not to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Abel said no more.

…

Alfred, whose face was swollen like a pig's head, arrived at the tall house of the mayor's house.

"Mayor, you must make the decision for me~

Bud, he dares to unite with outsiders to bully me. Obviously, he does not take you, the mayor, seriously.

If Bud gathers more untouchables in the town, who knows how much trouble there will be.

I have long seen that Bud is not a law-abiding person. Now that they dare to beat me, it might be your turn tomorrow, Mayor~" Fred began to cry as soon as he saw the mayor.

When the mayor wasn't paying attention, he secretly wiped a little saliva from the corners of his eyes to make himself look even more pitiful.

"Bard...the Bard you are talking about is the Long Lake Ferryman Bard?" The mayor scratched the top of his head with only a few hairs and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's that Bard. His grandfather is the legendary Girion who fought against the dragon...

Their family has not been a peaceful owner for generations. Bud has been providing small favors to the untouchables in Long Lake Town to win their hearts.

I think he wants to re-elect the mayor..." Fred provoked the mayor's anger.

"Bold~

How dare he, I don't agree...I don't agree to re-election." The mayor slammed the table angrily. Then he quickly put his swollen hand to his mouth and blew hot air.

"Calm down..." Seeing this, Fred quickly walked to the dining table behind the mayor, poured a glass of red wine, took a secret sip himself, and handed it to the mayor.

"It's unreasonable. I've been so good to them. They couldn't survive without me, and now they actually want to overthrow me..." The mayor cursed and took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The anger in his heart still did not subside.

"You are right, those mud-legged people are all ignorant white-eyed wolves. They are not only stupid but also ignorant...

Bard just wants to confuse them by imitating you, and then take your place in Lake Town." Fred continued to provoke.

"Imitate me?" the mayor asked in confusion.

"Yes, as wise and powerful as you, with outstanding temperament, Bard is the one to imitate. He has been learning your style of doing things to win people's hearts..." Fred said to the mayor's bright face.

A sincere compliment.

"You're right... we can't let him continue to imitate like this. There can only be one mayor in Changhu Town, and that's me." The mayor was so excited that he wanted to slam the table.

However, the redness and swelling on his hands had not subsided, so he reluctantly put his hands on his belly and patted it. This also made the three layers of fat on his belly tremble.

"Now Bud is at the port preparing to make trouble, and we need to teach him a lesson.

It also happens to let those ignorant idiots in the town know about your wisdom and prowess." Fred continued to point the finger at Bud.

"That's good. Assemble my escort immediately. I'm going to the port~" The mayor stood up excitedly.

"Everyone is ready for you..." Fred said quickly and earnestly: "As soon as you show up at the port, I believe that Bud's group will definitely kneel down and beg for mercy from you."

"Haha, okay... let's go..." The mayor took a step forward and walked out happily.

When the mayor turned his back to Fred, the flattering expression on Fred's face disappeared instantly.

He stared at the mayor's back with evil eyes and cursed a few words in a low voice. Then he followed him like a dog.

…

At the port, Bud returned to the big ship with a large group of people.

"These are all people I trust in this town..." Bard first introduced the laborers behind him. Then, he handed the remaining gold coins of the hired laborers back to Abel.

Most of the wealth in Changhu Town is concentrated in the mayor's family. Therefore, the labor force here is very cheap. A handful of gold coins employs a hundred people, and more than half is left.

"No need..." Abel did not go to receive the gold coins. He said to Bud: "Split the remaining money among them, and ask them to contribute more in the future."

Bud could see that the young man in front of him was a man who was not short of money and was not afraid of big troubles.

Looking at the townspeople behind him who were looking eagerly at him, Bard finally chose to distribute the gold coins.
