"Morgan, as much as I appreciate you..."
"But you really don't have to offend Alfred like that..."
The ferry left the checkpoint toll dock and continued to the interior of Changhu Town.
From the boatman's position, Bud looked behind him at Alfred, who was standing at the checkpoint pier and staring at his ferry. He turned to Morgan and continued: "Alfard is the clerk of Long Lake Town and the mayor's lackey."
"As long as you are in Changhu Town for one day, he will cause trouble for you."
Bud looked at Morgan and said worriedly, his voice sincere.
Morgan stopped listening, suddenly turned to look at Bud and asked: "Bud, are you worried that I will anger Alfred and cause you trouble?"
Hearing Morgan's words, Bud was slightly stunned, but looking at Morgan's calm face, he shook his head and smiled: "Of course not. Alfred is targeting me, and the entire residents of Long Lake Town know it."
"I no longer care."
"But you are different. He is still the secretary here. You really don't need to..."
"Bard, how long is the fastest round trip from here to the Elf Kingdom in the Dark Forest?"
Morgan suddenly interrupted Bud and asked.
"From here to Mirkwood... four days, it will take four days at the fastest."
"did you mean..."
When Bud was asked this, his expression changed slightly as he thought of something.
"That's it. I just need to leave Lake Town within four days, before Alfred's messenger returns from Mirkwood."
Morgan said as he shook the ten silver coins in his hand, which were the money he had just squeezed from Alfred to compensate for the fish.
As for those smelly fish, of course they are still in the tall old wine barrels on the ferry.
It was impossible to hand over the dwarves.
Even if you give it to the other party, you may not be willing to accept it.
But after Morgan accepted the fish payment of ten silver coins from the other party, he didn't even mention giving the fish to Alfred.
He extorted ten silver coins from the opponent's hand.
Morgan looked at the other person who was angry but didn't dare to get angry, and could only smile with a complacent face. It really made him feel so happy.
No wonder so many people like to show off.
"So that's what you think."
"But, Morgan, Alfred is very cunning. He may also think of this. I think the other party may not let you go so easily..."
Bud continued.
The human named Morgan in front of him gave him a very good feeling.
Not only because he had just helped him, but also because he could feel it in the previous conversation on the way to Changhu Town.
The identity of this group of dwarves may not be that simple.
But that doesn't care about Bud, he just takes money to help him do what he promised.
The dwarves were repelled and suspicious of him, and Bard knew it and didn't care.
It's just a transaction between the two parties.
But the Morgan in front of him was different, perhaps because they were both human beings.
Bud liked Morgan.
Plus the scene where Morgan severely offended Alfred.
Although Bard knows that Morgan may not be doing it all for him, but more probably because he is afraid that the dwarves hiding in the wine barrel will be exposed.
But Bud has to remember that Morgan helped him.
Anyone who has helped him is a friend, and Bard naturally doesn't want his friend to be in trouble by Alfred.
"Of course I know that."
Morgan nodded and smiled, but didn't say much.
Bud knew what was going on and asked no more questions.
The ferry moved slowly into the crowded waterway.
There are obviously more residents on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
"Hi, Bud, have you just come back..."
"Good morning, Aunt Rice..."
"Bud, you have returned home with a full load..."
"Good morning, Andy, you're lucky this time..."
"Good morning, Uncle Bud..."
"Good morning, Rosie..."
"..."
Many people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait greeted Bud enthusiastically.
Watch as Bud patiently replies to everyone one by one.
Morgan suddenly remembered that the mayor in the plot was greedy, selfish, extravagantly amassing money, and had no regard for the life and death of the people below, and the secretary Alfred, who was a real villain who bullied the weak and feared the strong, and acted according to the circumstances. Makes sense.
Pass through lively waterways.
The ferry stopped at a small pier.
Bud threw the cable to the old man watching the boat on the shore of the pier.
After looking around, he raised his hand and overturned the tall wine barrel in front of him to the ground.
The smelly fish immediately fell to the ground, and Ori's head immediately emerged from the dilapidated wine barrel.
Seeing Bud's movements, Morgan immediately stepped forward to help, and kicked the wine barrel containing Groin to the ground with his foot.
Seeing that his hair and beard were covered with fish scales, and his whole body exuded the fishy smell, Groyin quickly climbed out of the barrel and muttered curses in the air.
Morgan laughed. Fortunately, he had been smart before and didn't get into the fish bucket like these dwarves.
"Damn, this stinks!"
“Stinky and fishy...”
"vomit..."
"Huh, the air outside is better..."
"I swear, there will never be a next time..."
"Damn it, don't you know how to buy some fresh fish?"
There were rude words in front of this grumpy dwarf with a bald and smooth forehead.
Bud just shrugged: "Fresh fish is not cheap."
After speaking, he walked aside, put a silver coin into the hand of the old man watching the ship, and said, "Just pretend you haven't seen these people."
"Also, those fish are given to you for free."
After Bard finished speaking, he stretched out his hand to call for the dwarves to follow him.
Looking at the silver coins in his hand and the boat full of fish in front of him, the old man swallowed hard.
"This way..."
Bud was in front. He looked around and found no guards, so he immediately called on everyone to follow him quickly.
Morgan was right next to Bud.
Everyone followed Bud into the lively market area.
Look at the humans around you, and then look at the group of short dwarves behind you.
Morgan felt like he was followed by a group of children.
"What are you laughing at, Morgan?"
Seeing Morgan laughing to himself, Bilbo, who was following Morgan closely, asked.
Morgan shook his head: "Nothing, I just remembered that I had been away from town for a long time."
Bilbo looked around at the lively and busy scene with tall people everywhere, and asked curiously: "Is this the world of humans?"
Morgan nodded: "Of course."
"This way!"
Bud continued to lead the way.
Perhaps it was because he had exhausted all his bad luck when he met Clerk Alfred at the inspection and toll booth in Changhu Town.
This time everyone was very lucky. They didn't meet a single town guard until they arrived at Bud's house.
at this time.
A boy with a handsome appearance quickly ran over from the front. He ran straight to Bud with an eager face and gasped: "Father, our home is under surveillance."
The words fell.
The expressions of Thorin Oakenshield and the dwarves behind him suddenly changed.
"It's fine."
He patted his son on the shoulder.
Bud's mind immediately started spinning at high speed.
Soon, he turned around and looked at the leader, Thorin Oakenshield, and said, "I have a way..."
After quickly informing the dwarves in front of him of his only solution.
After hearing Bard's method, the dwarves immediately looked ugly.
It turned out that the special characteristics of the waterway were used to let them swim directly under the toilet of Bud's house and then get out.
This way he won't be discovered by anyone watching outside Bud's house.
When Ge Luo Yin heard this method, he immediately started muttering.
The irritable Godwalin looked at Bard with an evil look in his eyes, and seemed to have the urge to beat Bard.
Bard understood the character of this bald-headed and violent dwarf, and didn't care about the other person's eyes at all. He just looked at the handsome dwarf who led him.
Thorin Oakenshield just sat and considered it for a moment, then quickly nodded in agreement.
Just kidding, I have gone through many hardships and ups and downs along the way.
Seeing that success is so close, it doesn't matter just getting into the toilet.
Seeing that Thorin Oakenshield agreed, Bard immediately led the expedition team towards another road.
Not long after, I stood on the edge of a remote wooden house.
Bard pointed to a few houses ahead and the water surface and kept giving directions quickly to the dwarf beside him.
After confirming that the dwarf heard clearly.
Bud took Morgan and his son and turned to leave.
At this time, the dwarf Groin suddenly asked: "Wait, why isn't Morgan with us?"
After the words fell, all the members of the expedition team looked over.
Well, we all get through the toilet together, and no one can laugh at anyone else.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Morgan was about to speak when he heard Bud say for him: "Morgan was already seen by those people when he came in."
"So, he doesn't have that need."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bard felt the vicious and resentful looks of the dwarves around him.
He quickly added: "Of course, if Morgan wants to accompany you, of course you can."
"What do you think, Morgan?"
Bud said and looked at Morgan, spreading his hands with an innocent expression.
"I already offended that clerk when I was at the checkpoint dock."
"They also saw me and Bud together."
"It would be inappropriate for me to disappear now. I'm afraid that I will anger that despicable clerk and come to trouble us."
"So, I can't accompany you."
Morgan finished speaking with a smile, and the mischievous expression of regret on his face made the dwarves feel itchy when they looked at it.
But Morgan's reasons are obvious enough and reasonable.
Naturally, the dwarves couldn't say anything else.
Soon, I watched the dwarves enter the water and swim away.
Morgan left behind Bud, and when he turned around, he thought to himself: "I don't want to be toilet superman."
