legend begins with lord of the rings

Bud commanded the residents of Changhu Town to transport away all the gold coins collected by Braga.

While sweeping the mayor's house, everyone found a bunch of keys in the bedroom. The dwarves took the keys to the warehouse, tried them one by one, and finally opened the door to the warehouse.

The warehouse is divided into several areas, with grains stacked on the outermost edge and cotton-padded clothes hanging on the inside...

In the innermost corner, there are neat rows of weapons, and several sets of high-end armors stand next to them.

"Great, this is what we want..." Dvalin picked up a giant ax with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"Bilbo, come and try this armor. It's tailor-made for you..." Balin held a helmet in his hand and was about to put it on the Hobbit's head.

Abel also saw it. There were all kinds of bows and arrows on a shelf, and a huge amount of arrows were piled next to the bows. He was not polite, opened his leather bag and put enough arrows inside.

After the dwarves had selected suitable weapons and armor, Bard ordered people to lock the warehouse again. The supplies inside will be the foundation of the residents of Changhu Town in the future. Bard will come over tomorrow to coordinate the deployment.

After leaving the warehouse, the dwarves separated from Bard. The dwarves decided to go to Braga's house to make a living for the night.

Bud has just become the mayor of the town and has many things waiting for him to arrange when he returns.

"Bud~"

Just when everyone was saying goodbye, Abel called Bud aside.

"If the evil dragon is awakened this time, it will definitely go crazy around the river valley. You'd better take the residents across the rushing river and go to the green forest to hide.

I have a little relationship with Thranduil there, if you can't, you can ask him for some help." Abel said.

"Okay, I'll think about it." Bud said calmly.

After becoming the mayor of Changhu Town, Bud needs to think more carefully about things.

"There have been giant spiders and orcs in the Greenland Forest recently. You must be careful if you take the residents there.

There, there is a team I formed, all of which are adventurers. If possible, I hope you can let some residents of Long Lake Town join in." Abel continued to tell Bud.

"Adventurer?" Bud asked doubtfully.

"Yes, adventurer... In fact, my true identity is an adventurer. After joining the adventurer team, there will be no mandatory tasks. They are still your people." Abel explained.

"I understand." Bud nodded.

"Also, the elves are not as inaccessible as you think. You can visit Thranduil in person when you have time. I believe you will gain something."

Abel had finished what he wanted to say. He smiled, patted Bud on the shoulder, and said in an encouraging tone: "You will be a good mayor, you have to believe in yourself."

Abel could tell that it was a lot of pressure for Bud to suddenly become the mayor.

"Thank you, I also believe I will be a good mayor." Bud showed a smile on his face.

"We'll see~" Abel waved goodbye to Bud and walked towards the tall building in Braga.

Heili was looking here not far away. When he saw Abel coming, he quickly followed him.

When Abel and Heili returned to Braga's house, they saw that the dwarves had emptied Braga's wine store and were now having a banquet around the gorgeous table in the living room.

It has to be said that the dwarves are very good at using local materials. They chopped the wood that could be burned in the living room into firewood.

They lit a bonfire next to the table, took some food from somewhere, and were cooking a barbecue for the dinner.

"Abel, come and try it. This red wine is very sweet and delicious..." Fili called Abel with his tongue wide open.

"Okay..." Abel walked over with Heili.

After sitting at the table, Abel also took out some food and wine, and invited the dwarves to eat and drink.

After Pang Bo drank a few glasses of white wine, he took out his tape recorder, played a cheerful song, and sang along loudly.

Soon, the dwarves also joined the team of howling ghosts and wolves.

Groin also jumped on the table and danced a dance unique to the dwarves.

Abel sometimes admires dwarves. They are optimistic and cheerful by nature, and this personality can often infect others.

"Come and drink..." Feili came to Abel's side, holding a glass of white wine, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he said, "This white wine... has more... taste..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fili fell under the table.

The party lasted until midnight, when all the dwarves were drunk. Abel asked Heili to extinguish the fire in the middle of the room, and he took out a blanket and fell asleep in the corner.

…

The next day, early in the morning.

Before the sun even came out, Abel heard rustling sounds coming from around him.

He opened his eyes and saw Thorin getting up.

"Fili, Kili...Dwalin, get up quickly~" Thorin shouted to the dwarves.

"Ugh... I feel so dizzy..." Fili sat up, covering his head, and then hit the table with a "bang" sound, causing him to roll on the floor in pain.

Everyone else in the room was also woken up, and after learning that Fili hit his head, they all laughed. Among them, Kili laughed the loudest.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Today is Turin Day. We have to set off early and reach Lonely Mountain before the sun sets." Thorin shouted to everyone.

His voice made all the dwarves wake up. They quickly got up, packed their weapons and packages, and prepared to hit the road.

Abel also got up quickly, washed briefly, and followed the dwarves outside.

Downstairs, Bud was already waiting at the door with a brand new, fully armed escort.

"This is the food we have prepared for you. There is also a big boat prepared by the river, which can take you directly to River Valley City. When you get to River Valley City, you will not be far from Lonely Mountain." Bard said to the dwarves.

His son Bain also handed the two large packages he was carrying to the dwarf. They contained food and some daily necessities.

Thorin wasted no time and took the dwarves to the river. More residents of Changhu Town gathered here to see the dwarves off.

It can be seen from their eager eyes that they regard the dwarves as their own.

"I will definitely keep my promise and bring you wealth~"

After the boat started, Thorin shouted to the residents of Changhu Town on the shore.

"You will definitely succeed..."

"Long live the dwarves..."

"come on……"

The residents of Changhu Town were all excited because of Thorin's words. They applauded enthusiastically, and some waved their arms crazily towards the dwarves.

The dwarves left Changhu Town smoothly and headed towards River Valley City unimpeded.

The direction of the river happened to flow towards Riverdale City, and the dwarves did not need to row hard. After a brief lunch on the boat, the Lonely Mountain was already in sight.

"Gushan~ Here we are..." Feili shouted excitedly when he saw that he was about to reach Gushan.

The ship sailed for a while and docked at a dilapidated port. This was the former port of River Valley City, and the dwarves climbed ashore.

The moment he set foot on the ground, Thorin's eyes flashed with crystal tears. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.

"What is that?" Bilbo asked, pointing to a dark place not far away.

For several kilometers next to the port, there is no other color except black.

"That was Riverdale City. It was once the largest human city around the Lonely Mountain... Unfortunately, it was burned like this by Smaug's flames in that disaster..." Balin explained to the hobbits in a low voice.

Bilbo looked carefully and could still vaguely see the outlines of some towns among the burnt ashes.
