"Death! You will only bring us this, Dragon Flame and Destruction, and if you awaken that dragon in the Lonely Mountain, it will destroy us all! ”

Just as the townsfolk of Riverdale were about to be conquered by Thorin's words, Bard the Archer finally thought of the last words of the prophecy, and everything would eventually turn to sorrow, and the lake would be filled with fire.

Thinking of this, he suddenly regretted that he should not have coveted the gold coins and brought these dwarves and wizards into Riverdale.

He knew very well that everything in front of him was probably the sorcerer's plan, he knew that the sorcerer had already known these dwarves, but now the sorcerer pretended that he and the dwarves had met for the first time.

So the archer Bud tried to stop this, and he came out of the crowd and shouted, "Everyone, listen to me! You've got to hear me, have you all forgotten what happened to Riverdale? You have all forgotten those who died in the fire, for what? A mountain king is consumed by profit, and his selfish desires blind his eyes! ”

Bard was well-known in Riverdale, and listening to his words, the townspeople, who had been a little excited, seemed to hesitate again, especially the old ones, as if they remembered the terrible scene again.

It's just that the performance of the archer Bard made two people frown, that is, the mayor of Riverdale and his dogleg Alfred.

"We, no one, should blame others too easily! Let's not forget, it was the original lord of Riverdale, Girion, your ancestor, who failed to kill the dragon! ”

The town of Riverdale cleared his throat and spoke aloud to the crowd as if he were speaking fairly.

Then his dog-legged Alferred immediately said as well, "That's right, my lord! We all know the story of how he shot arrow after arrow, and every arrow missed! ”

Archer Bud's face changed slightly when he was robbed by the two of them, but he quickly turned to look at Thorin again, "You have no power. No right to enter the mountains! ”

"Only I have the right!"

Thorin didn't expect Bard to jump out and ruin such a good situation, and at this moment he looked at Bard, and all the help that Bard had provided before had been left behind.

So after he replied lightly, he turned his head to look at the mayor of Riverdale Town, "I want to ask the mayor, would you like to see the prophecy come true?" Are you willing to share in the great wealth of my people? How do you decide! ”

The mayor of Riverdale Town glanced at Thorin, and then at Zhu Linglu, who was standing beside Thorin and seemed to be looking at him with a smile. Turning his head, he glanced at the townfolk around him with complicated expressions.

"I want to say to you, welcome! Welcome! ”

So, the matter was settled, and the mayor of Riverdale quickly invited all the dwarves, hobbits, and Julinglu into the town chamber for lunch.

Later, as the townspeople dispersed, the news spread like wildfire throughout the town.

Most of the townspeople of Riverdale were excited and happy, for they were now too poor, and rumors about the golden treasures of the dwarven king's capital Irubone were being heard everywhere.

The townsfolk of Riverdale only want to believe what they want to believe, and they haven't seen any riches in a long time. So the old story about the dwarven royal capital will only bring them hope.

As for Bard's warning, not many people cared, because life in Riverdale could be worse. They can't live anymore.

So under the mayor's arrangement, Thorin and the other dwarves and hobbits were given a large house to recuperate, and many people gathered outside to sing all day, as long as the tip of the dwarve's nose was exposed. Immediately there was a warm cheer.

The townspeople of Rivervalley Town welcomed these dwarves even more than Zhu Linglu, a wizard from the east.

Because the sorcerers will only demand from them for their possessions, and these dwarves may bring them endless wealth in the future. So that everyone who is rich can sleep on gold coins.

Fueled by deliberate rumors from the mayor of Riverdale and the doglegged Alfered, rumors spread among the townsfolk of Riverdale that the dragon had died and that its treasures had flowed into Riverdale from the river.

The dwarves didn't leave Riverdale right away, they stayed there for at least a little more than a week.

Everyone had recovered to their best condition after a well-fed and well-fed recuperation, and the dwarves were dressed in bright clothes, even with the armor and weapons provided by the mayor of Riverdale, which made the dwarves look a bit like the elite dwarven warriors they once were.

However, although there was still plenty of time, Thorin proposed a plan to the mayor to go to Lone Mountain.

So on the first Friday of August, a ferry left Riverdale with Dwarves, Hobbits, and Julinglu, along with many supplies from Riverdale.

In addition, Riverdale once again has pony mounts for the adventuring party, and in fact there is still a long way to get from Long Lake to Lone Mountain.

Of course, the townspeople of Riverdale didn't dare to live very close to the dragon's smaug's lair, so even if there was a mount, it would take some time to get there.

At the same time, the road from Changhu to Gushan is almost deserted, and there is no need to worry about encountering other accidents.

It took three days for the ferry to reach the shores of Long Lake, and then the men began to pack up and pack supplies on pony back, and the adventuring party had to prepare enough supplies, as it would be difficult to find new supplies for the rest of the journey.

Although the road from the shore to the Lonely Mountain was almost a flat plain, there was hardly any trace of any living creature here except for the lifeless earth that the evil dragon Smaug had once caused with dragon flames.

There is no vegetation here, neither shrubs nor trees can survive here, and the only thing left is the broken and charred stumps, which tell the beauty of a long time ago, and of course these stumps have been charred and petrified.

It feels like a lava field formed by a volcanic eruption, with only a few places where moss grows for ponies to eat.

Then the party set out on their way, but everything they saw on the way weighed the dwarves, who seemed to recall the sight of their escape from Irubour.

And there wasn't any normal road here, after all, after the dragon Smaug took over here, almost no one dared to come here.

With the erosion of the landscape, the landscape has naturally returned to its most primitive state, so the adventuring party must have someone in front to open the way to find a passable road, and someone in the back also needs someone to lead the horses carrying the supplies, so that the horses and the adventuring party do not run away.

Therefore, the journey here is very tiring, and everyone does not dare to talk rashly or act rashly.

There was no laughter, no songs, and in silence, the adventuring party moved slowly, knowing in their hearts that the end of the journey was near, and that they were about to face a terrible dragon...... (To be continued......)
