When the dwarves had gone upstairs, Bard opened the door and carried out the three barrels full of fish.

"You take these fish to eat, and besides, please don't tell me about today's events."

"Thank you, thank you!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Bud, we will never tell you about today!"

Residents said happily.

Bud nodded, closed the door casually, and then walked up to the second floor with Xu Feng and the others.

"Daddy!" The two plainly dressed little girls pounced on Bard as soon as they saw it.

The older girls were fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones were seven or eight years old.

In addition to the two girls, there stood a boy in the room, who was only a head shorter than Bud, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old, with a clever look in his dark eyes.

Obviously, all three children were Bard's children.

Bard happily hugged the two girls in his arms and said with a smile, "Daddy is back." ”

He doted on his daughter infinitely, hugged and said hello, but to the son next to him, he patted him on the shoulder.

But the boy seemed to get used to it, he just smiled and didn't care about anything.

The eldest daughter said, "Dad, there are a lot of strange people in our house. ”

Suddenly Dwalin's irritable voice came from the back room: "Little girl! Pay attention to your wording, we're not weird people! We are dwarves! ”

The youngest daughter whispered, "They are strangely shaped dwarves. ”

Although such a statement was very rude, Bard couldn't help but smile.

His son asked, "Daddy, are these dwarves my friends?" ”

Bud shook his head: "No, they're not, they just gave Dad a sum of money, and according to the agreement, Dad was going to send them out of Changhu Town." ”

His son nodded, "Oh I see, then we don't have to treat them like friends." ”

Bud smiled: "Although they are not friends, but as hosts, we should still entertain, and besides, although these are not our friends, Dad is very willing to entertain them." ”

Bud said as he pointed at the maple and them.

Bud's son's eyes lit up, "Wow! What a beautiful hammer! ”

The hammer he is talking about is naturally the silver fist war hammer in the hand of the iron hammer.

Ever since he got the hammer, he has held it in his hand and placed it in the most visible place.

In fact, this hammer has not been coated yet, so the hammer cannot really use it, and it can only be used as an ordinary decorative weapon in her hand, and its effect and effect are even inferior to her previous forging hammer.

However, the hammer is such a love affair.

Hearing Bud's son praise his Silver Fist Warhammer, Iron Hammer suddenly raised the corners of his mouth proudly: "Young man, you have a lot of vision." ”

Bud's son asked, "Sister, what kind of hammer is this?" ”

A sister screamed the hammer even more excitedly.

She hurriedly said, "This is called the Silver Fist Hammer. ”

"Silver Fist?" Bud's son blinked, "That sounds familiar." ”

"You know Silver Fist?" Iron Hammer said in surprise, "That's right, he is the elven master who created the Supreme Ring." ”

Bard's son shook his head, "No, I don't know who Silver Fist is, I remember there was a ballad that seemed like you had the word Silver Fist. ”

The eldest daughter next to her laughed: "Stupid, you remember wrong, that word is not Silver Fist, but Silver Spring." ”

"Really?" Bud's son looked puzzled: "Why can't I think of anything?" How is that ballad sung? ”

"I will, I will!" Bud's youngest daughter sang happily, "Lord of the Silver Spring, Lord of the Stone Cave, King of the Mountain!" He will return to his throne! The people will celebrate his return! But it will all end in tragedy! The lake is shining! The war is back in flames! The people will celebrate his return! But it will all end in tragedy! ”

Budd's son rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, "Well, it's true that I'm mistaken, but the ballad itself is problematic!" Who is the Lord of Silver Spring? Who is the King of the Cave? Who is the king of the mountain? ”

The dwarves in the back room were silent.

Even many people hid their faces and cried after hearing the little girl's singing.

That's right, this song is about their lonely mountain dwarves!

It's just that they don't dare to stand up and tell the truth......

Bard stroked the hair of his two daughters with a smile, and patiently explained: "The Lord of the Silver Spring, the King of the Stone Cave, and the King of the Mountain actually refer to one person, which is one person's three titles, and this person is the king of the dwarves of the lonely mountain. ”

Bud's son asked suspiciously, "This doesn't make sense, Dad, isn't the lonely mountain already extinct?" ”

Bud smiled: "No, the Lonely Mountain has not perished, and countless riches are stored in the Lonely Mountain Palace, but there is an evil dragon guarding it. ”

Bard's son still asked after him, "I can understand the names of the Lord of the Stone Cave and the King of the Mountain, but the Lord of the Silver Spring...... There is no spring water in the lonely mountain? Why did the king of the Lonely Mountain have such a name as the Lord of the Silver Spring? ”

Bard didn't look impatient because of his son's question, but looked at his son with encouraging eyes, and said with a smile: "You can ask such a question, it means that you are thinking about this very well, but ...... Dad doesn't know why the King of Lonely Mountain has the title of Lord of Silver Spring, so let's study it together if we have a chance. ”

"Okay." Although Bard's son did not get an answer, he was very happy to receive his father's patient encouragement.

Bard was about to say something more when he saw Thorin standing in the doorway with red eyes.

Bard was puzzled when he heard Thorin say in a deep voice, "The Lord of the Silver Spring does not mean a silver spring, but an ore. This ore is necessary for all high-level elven weapons, and the name of this ore is Mithril Ore, which grows in the mountains and joins together like a babbling spring, so the dwarves affectionately call this Mithril Ore Silver Spring. Therefore, the so-called Lord of the Silver Spring refers to the Lord of the Mithril Vein, that is, the King of the Lonely Mountain. ”

Bud's son suddenly realized: "I see! You're a learned dwarf. ”

Thorin's mouth opened slightly, but eventually turned into a sigh.

He is not only a learned dwarf, he is the true king of the lonely mountain!

This ballad sings about their return to the lonely mountain!

Bard nodded slightly at Thorin, "Thank you for helping my son out, but...... You'd better go take a shower, the smell on your body is too great......"

Thorin was slightly stunned, and then silently returned to the back room.

Bard looked at Thorin's back and frowned slightly.

Fifty years had passed since the battle in Long Lake, and Bard had never seen a real Lone Mountain Dwarf, but a strange feeling haunted him.
