early morning.
Shrouded in morning mist, the long lake is covered with ice floes.
A ferry is slowly approaching from a distance.
The human boatman looked ahead at Changhu Town, which was right in front of him.
He raised his foot and kicked the tall wine barrel where whispers were heard in front of him, and whispered: "Don't make any noise, we are about to reach the inspection gate."
The ferryman is the human Bard.
And there are thirteen tall wine barrels neatly arranged on the ferry.
Naturally, they were the members of the expedition team who had just escaped from the orc interception yesterday.
In front of the ferry yesterday evening.
Bard saw the exquisite wine barrel that the dwarf Bofur fished out of the river.
Thus, he realized that the uninvited dwarves had unusual identities.
But because of financial constraints.
Not only did Bard not push away this group of dwarves who were very likely to bring big trouble to Chang Lake Town.
Instead, he took the opportunity to kill these dwarves.
Also because of the issue of dwarf identity.
Bud bought thirteen old large wine barrels from the first entrance of Long Lake Town.
I also bought a batch of fish that was not very fresh, but was enough to cover up thirteen troublesome customers.
At this time, the group of dwarves were inside these neatly arranged old wine barrels, which were covered with fish that had begun to smell faintly.
As for the human among the dwarves.
At this time, he was in front of the bow of the ship, looking at Changhu Town not far away.
"Morgan, is this your first time in Lake Town?"
Bud looked at the tall figure on the bow of the boat and said.
"Yes, I have only heard of a prosperous town built on a lake in the north before. I have always wanted to come and see it."
Morgan said, turning his head, looking at Bud and continuing: "This time I finally got my wish."
"bustling..."
Hearing Morgan say this word, Bud just shook his head and continued: "Prosperity only belonged to the former Long Lake Town."
"Instead of now..."
"Why, what do you mean, Changhu Town now is different from what it used to be?"
Seeing the dark look on Bud's face, Morgan, who had plot memories, asked knowingly.
"What should I say..."
"Perhaps you will understand after you go in..."
Bud continued to shake his head, as if he didn't want to say more.
Morgan is also very "interesting" and doesn't ask any more questions.
At this moment, a wine barrel filled with smelly fish in front of him, well, it wasn't very smelly, just had a slight odor, moved.
Morgan immediately laughed, cleared his throat, then patted the barrel and shouted: "Hey, don't move."
As soon as he finished speaking, the wine barrel started shaking crazily.
Along with the shaking of the barrel, a slight curse immediately came out from the barrel: "Damn it Morgan, come in and try it instead..."
"Ahem..."
"We're about to enter the checkpoint, Groin, you'd better shut up."
"I do not believe!"
"You just want me to shut up..."
Groyin's voice continued to come.
"stop!"
At this moment, a ferry slowly arrived in front of the arch of the bridge in Changhu Town, and a strong voice immediately came from the houses inside the arch bridge.
The tall wine barrel in front of Morgan immediately became silent.
"Cargo inventory!"
"Please take out your ID!"
The loud sound continued, and Bud immediately stepped forward quickly and took out a note from his arms.
"It's actually you, Bud."
In front of the inspection house inside the waterway arch bridge, an old man wearing a warm hat looked at Bud approaching and immediately smiled kindly.
"Good morning, Percy."
"Good morning Bud, do you have anything to report?"
"No, I'm cold and tired now."
"I just want to go back and rest early."
Bud said, controlling the ferry to stop at the gate of the checkpoint, and handed the note in his hand to an elderly man named Percy.
"we are the same."
The old man smiled and took the note from Bud, and stamped it without looking at it.
When he reached out to hand it back to Bud, he was very impolitely snatched away by a guy who came out from behind, wearing black exquisite clothes, a black felt hat, and a forehead so thick that it formed a straight line.
"Let me see." Picking up a distinguished guest from Mirkwood? ""
The middle-aged man in dark clothes read out the handwriting on the pass slip in a strange voice. Looking at Bud in front of him, he pointed to Morgan who was wearing it and asked: "Is it him?"
"So what's going on with these fish?"
"I remember I got a ferryman's license, not a fisherman's license, right?"
Throwing away Bud's pass, the middle-aged man in black walked onto the ferry, picked up a fish, looked at Bud and said in a cold voice.
"This is none of your business, Alfred." Bud said coldly.
"No, this is the mayor's business, and naturally it is also my business."
A middle-aged man in black named Alfred said proudly.
"Ahem..."
At this time, Morgan spoke: "Let me tell you, if you want to seek revenge and cause trouble, please pay attention to the presence of outsiders."
"Is this the courtesy that Changhu Town should have towards its guests?"
"Also, please put down the fish in your hands, it's my product."
Morgan stepped forward, looked down at Alfred, who was shorter than him, and said coldly.
As he spoke, he took the fish from the hands of Alfred, who had written from top to bottom that he was not a good person, and put it back into the wine barrel next to him.
"you..."
Alfred was a little confused by Morgan's rebuke, but he reacted very quickly. After turning his eyes quickly, he immediately pointed at Morgan and said coldly: "How dare you talk to me like this, Braga, did you hear that? I suspect he has other motives for coming to Changhu Town, so arrest him!"
Alfred said loudly and immediately looked at the man behind him.
A tall man wearing a burgundy cape and silver armor was about to step forward with the soldiers behind him.
Morgan sneered without fear: "Hehe, this is the way of hospitality in Lake Town?"
"Can you so despicably slander a guest who can bring benefits and prosperity to Changhu Town with just one sentence?"
"Or are you the mayor, and everything you do can represent the mayor of Changhu Town?"
"If this is really the case, then I will definitely advise the elf prince of the Dark Forest, His Highness Legolas Greenleaf, to ask him to carefully consider the next trade with Long Lake Town."
Morgan spoke coldly, and the big hats went straight to Alfred's head one after another.
Not only did it immediately stop the guard captain Braga, but it also made Alfred a little confused behind him.
In the past, he was the one who brought the big names to other people in Changhu Town and found them guilty.
When had I ever seen anyone dare to do this to him?
Especially the other party's last words can persuade the Elf Prince of Dark Forest to cancel the trade with Long Lake Town.
This immediately frightened Alfred, let alone Braga, the captain of the guard.
"Who are you, who can persuade that prince?"
Alfred reacted very quickly. After quickly taking a look at Morgan's clothes, he immediately asked with a gloomy face.
"You don't need to test it. You can just send someone to the Dark Forest to find His Highness Legolas to collect evidence."
"But let me tell you, I can not only persuade that prince."
"I am more familiar with Captain Tariel of Mirkwood."
"If you don't see the female elf guard captain appearing in Changhu Town with his troops, feel free to try to arrest me."
Morgan sneered arrogantly after realizing that the Alfred in front of him was a villain who was willing to take the easy way, adapt to the situation, and be greedy for life and fear of death.
"Damn it, wait until I get back from Mirkwood to collect evidence!"
"If you dare to lie to me, I will let you know what will happen if you lie to me!"
Being frightened by Morgan's momentum, Alfred was filled with hatred, but he could only quickly put a smile on his face, looked at Morgan and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, you are joking."
"There is no need to bother His Highness the Prince with such a small matter."
"It is Changhu Town's honor that you come to Changhu Town. There is no problem with this ship. You can go."
Alfred spoke very politely, as if he didn't want to get into more trouble with Morgan.
But Morgan refused to let him go. He hated this guy when he watched movies in his previous life.
Now that I have borrowed the reputation of the elf prince Legolas, I naturally have to use it to the end. By the way, I will see how low the bottom line of this guy in front of me can be and how far he can go.
Anyway, the expedition team will leave tomorrow, and the messenger heading to the Dark Forest will take three days to go back and forth at the earliest.
Morgan is not afraid of this guy at all.
"Wait, come here and smell these fish. Do they smell strange?"
Morgan said, reaching out and waving to Alfred.
Alfred's smiling face looked a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to smile and walked onto the boat again.
"It smells a little strange..." Alfred said with a smile.
Looking at the other party's appearance, Morgan became even more arrogant. He grinned and said softly: "Since it was your hands that touched these fish that caused the odor, then you should pay for these fish."
"What do you think, Alfred?"
Alfred: "..."
