Four hundred and ninety-nine, the villain Alfred
At this checkpoint in the town of the Valley, there is still a railing that prevents the ferry from continuing into the centre of the town.
A man dressed as a steward, walked out of the wooden hut next to the checkpoint, looked at the oak barrel on the ferry, took out a handkerchief to cover his nose, and looked at Bard coldly, as if he was thinking about something.
"Stop, cargo inspection, please show the documents! Oh, it's you, Bud! ”
The guard at another checkpoint followed suit, beckoning to Bud.
"Good morning, Posey!"
Bard beckoned to the guard, too.
"Is there anything I need to declare? Also, who is this? ”
is a little different from the original plot, this time the guard named Bo Xi did not directly finish the Bard document as in the original plot, but looked at Zhu Linglu and asked unexpectedly.
"Oh, this is Mr. Haven, an adventurous traveler from the South, who wants to take my ship into town!"
The archer Bud casually introduced Zhu Linglu, deliberately trying to make things more casual and bland.
"Hello! I don't have a problem with what you need to pay, I just want to have some warm food and something nice to drink in the town! ”
Zhu Linglu also greeted the people at the checkpoint with a smile.
At this moment, the man in the steward's uniform suddenly walked in front of the checkpoint guard again, pushed the guard behind him, and then he saluted Zhu Linglu, "Good evening, dear sir, I am Alferred, the deacon personally appointed by the mayor of Rivervalley Town, so which country in the south are you from?" ”
Now Zhu Linglu is not wearing a cloak, after all, it is the summer of July and August, even if Zhu Linglu is not afraid of the cold and heat, it is impossible to be stupid to wear thick clothes and wrap a cloak that can be used as a blanket.
In this way, others can naturally see at a glance Zhu Linglu's black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and appearance that obviously does not belong to Westerners. Just looking at Zhu Linglu's dress, and the gems and gold decorated on the outer sheath of the enemy fencing sword worn around his waist, it obviously gave people a feeling of aristocratic origin.
Therefore, the dog leg beside the mayor of Hegu Town didn't dare to snub Zhu Linglu too much, but he still didn't understand what Zhu Linglu's origin was.
"I'm a wizard from the East, I've traveled all over the world in West Middle-earth, I've been to the Shire, I've been to the Southern Gondor and the Rohan Kingdoms, and recently I accepted the invitation of the dwarves to go to the Iron Hills!"
Zhu Linglu held the hilt of the enemy's fencing sword in his hand. returned a salute to him, although this person is a villain, but this villain in the world needs to be more polite to face it, and he is secretly black.
Therefore, Zhu Linglu directly revealed his identity as a wizard, perhaps this identity is more convenient for him to walk in River Valley Town.
"It turned out to be a wizard from the East, well, I think Riverdale will definitely welcome you, so please come with me, I will personally lead you to the mayor!"
The villain, named Alfred, looked at Zhu Linglu. His expression flickered obviously, and then he warmly invited Zhu Ling to go ashore.
Then he looked at Bard the archer, and whispered to him, "Bard." You're lucky this time, otherwise, if you actually use these oak barrels to pack fish, I will never let you go easily! ”
Then the villain also deliberately kicked on the barrel. Because of Zhu Linglu's existence, he finally didn't take these fish to embarrass Bud this time.
It's just that Zhu Linglu hesitated for a moment, but soon Zhu Linglu laughed again. He turned to Bard and said, "Alright, Mr. Bard, thank you for sending me to Riverdale, so I'll take my leave to you first, and ask for your help with other things!" Of course, I'll come back to see you when I have time! ”
"Mr. Haven, this is just a boatman who drives a ferry, and it doesn't deserve your other attention, so please come with me!"
Alferred was very dissatisfied with Zhu Linglu's attitude towards Bud, because Bad's identity in River Valley was a threat to the mayor.
So the mayor of the town is actually secretly suppressing Bud, and Alfred, as the dogleg of the mayor, naturally regards Bard as a thorn in his side.
Therefore, in the original plot, he deliberately made things difficult for Bard, but only after Bard threatened him, he was afraid that Bard might provoke the townspeople and cause a bigger riot, so he let Bard enter the town.
But soon Alferred went to the mayor to make a small report, trying to secretly get Bard more shoes to wear.
But now, he just wanted to do his good duty as a dog, and he couldn't let Bard get too close to a wizard, and deliberately slandered Bud's identity in front of Zhu Linglu.
"Mr. Alfred, please lead the way!"
Zhu Linglu didn't care about this villain's words, but politely asked him to lead the way.
Alferred really bowed to Zhu Linglu again, and respectfully led Zhu Linglu into the town through the wooden bridge corridor in River Valley Town.
Naturally, Bard entered the town without any trouble, and maybe something would happen later, but he should bring all the dwarves back to his home.
Soon Alferred also brought Zhu Linglu to the largest wooden house in the town, which was the mayor's council chamber.
Through Alferred's report, the mayor of Riverdale also personally came out to greet Zhu Linglu, and the status of wizards in the world is still very high, so Gandalf went to the king's hall in Gondor and Rohan in the Lord of the Rings plot, and he was also rampant.
After the two sides hypocritically said hello, they sat down in the mayor's hall, and the mayor naturally asked people to bring wine and food, and invited Zhu Linglu to share dinner.
After almost three rounds of drinking, and half full of food and drink, the mayor of the town chatted with Zhu Linglu about Zhu Linglu's next destination.
For the mayor of the town, entertaining such a wizard as Zhu Linglu now naturally hopes to get closer to Zhu Linglu, and also hopes that Zhu Linglu can show his ability in Gantian Town.
This is not only a verification of his inner suspicion of Zhu Linglu's identity as a wizard, but also hopes that through Zhu Linglu's ability display, his status in River Valley Town will be enhanced, indicating that he has the support of a wizard, so that his position as mayor of the town will be more stable in the future.
Zhu Linglu didn't have any objection to this, didn't he just put on a show.
But tonight will definitely not work, that night the mayor asked Alferred to arrange a room for Zhu Linglu to live, and the next day the mayor will introduce the identity of Zhu Linglu as an oriental wizard to all the townspeople.
And Zhu Linglu naturally accepted the mayor's kindness unceremoniously and stayed in the guest room...... (To be continued......)
