Outside the ruins of Riverdale Town.
Bard looked at the dwarves going away and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the dwarves have survived."
Morgan nodded: "Of course, the dwarves are still pretty good."
"But Bard, I don't think you need to think about the treasure the dwarves promised you."
Looking at Kili's retreating back, Morgan turned his head to look at Bard and said.
Bud immediately frowned and looked at Morgan: "Why?"
"Why..."
"Of course it's because the king under the mountain may not even think about sharing his treasure with you."
"I've known him longer than you. Maybe he might still keep his promise."
"but now..."
Morgan shook his head softly and said.
After the words fell, Bud fell silent.
When it comes to his familiarity with the King Under the Mountain, he is definitely not as good as Morgan.
If someone else had said this to him, Bud might not believe it.
But what Morgan said now, plus what he just said to the three dwarves.
Bard had to doubt and worry about the credibility of the king under the mountain.
Most of the properties of the surviving residents of Changhu Town were almost completely destroyed by the evil dragon's attack last night.
Now the residents under his command are in urgent need of treasures to rebuild their homes.
Originally, I thought that coming to Hehe Town would be close enough to Gushan.
Regardless of whether the dwarf survives or not, he can lead the residents to obtain treasures from the Lonely Mountain.
Now Morgan told him not to think about it at all, how could this make Bud not worry.
After being silent for a while, Bud said solemnly: "I have to give it a try."
"The king under the mountain won't be devoid of credibility at all and even lose his face, right?"
Morgan nodded: "Of course, maybe he has changed his mind."
"I'm just warning you, don't have your hopes too high."
"Let's go, Tilda and the others are impatient."
Morgan withdrew his gaze from the dwarves in the distance, turned to look at Bard and said.
Bud nodded, and the two quickly caught up with the three brothers and sisters who were waiting for them, and walked quickly towards the town of River Valley.
On the middle road from River Valley Town to Gushan.
The dwarf Fili looked at his silent brother Kili and said, "You should call him teacher."
Qili nodded: "Of course, what he taught me is enough to be my teacher."
"That's what I've always done."
"It's just that after this separation, I don't know when I will see him next time."
"I don't want to leave any regrets..."
Kili shook his head softly and spoke.
Fili was silent, he had always known Kili's respect for Morgan.
His own impression of Morgan is still very good. He is powerful, has a good personality, and is sincere towards his friends.
Just thinking of the conflict between Morgan and his uncle Thorin.
Fili sighed inwardly, not knowing how to speak.
Dwalin was silent.
His relationship with Morgan was not as good as that of Kili and Fili.
He was thinking about how to return to Thorin.
Morgan, who has become a dragon-slaying warrior, is joined by another dragon-slaying warrior, Bud.
The two dragon-slaying warriors were not easy to deal with.
Perhaps, this could be an excuse for him to reply to Thorin.
that is it.
Deep in the lonely mountain.
In the huge treasure hall.
Thorin Oakenshield was walking slowly in the treasure house filled with golden treasures. Looking at the treasures all around him, he felt that he couldn't see enough.
The white-bearded dwarves Balin and Bilbo were standing on an open high platform above the treasure hall, quietly looking down at the obsessed Thorin Oakenshield.
At this moment, a burst of footsteps came.
The dwarf Bofur on duty today walked quickly to the edge of the treasure hall with his weapon in hand. He looked at Thorin Oakenshield not far away and said loudly: "Thorin, Dvalins and the others are back."
"Also, the survivors from Chang Lake Town have entered River Valley Town. The number of people seems to be at least several hundred."
When Bofur finished speaking, Thorin Oakenshield paused, immediately turned around, looked at Bofur with a gloomy face and said, "Tell everyone to go to the front door."
"immediately!"
After saying that, Thorin Oakenshield took the lead and strode outside.
On the high platform, Bilbo looked at Balin.
Balin sighed and said, "Let's go."
When Thorin Oakenshield arrived at the gate of Lonely Mountain.
Dwalin and Kilifili also arrived at the gate.
"what happened?"
"Where's the thief I asked you to catch?"
Thorin Oakenshield looked at the three of Dwalin expressionlessly and asked.
Dwalin was about to speak when he saw Kili speaking first: "Thorin, you would never have imagined that the dragon Smaug died at the hands of Morgan and the boatman we met before..."
"Where's the thief I'm looking for?"
"I asked that damn thief who stole the Arken Stone."
Thorin Oakenshield interrupted Kili's words, looked at the three of them and said calmly.
But everyone present could see that Thorin was suppressing anger in his words.
Upon seeing this, Dvalin immediately took a step forward and said directly: "Thorin, Morgan and the boatman are together. We are not sure about dealing with the two of them."
Dwalin's direct words made Thorin Oakenshield look stunned.
Yes, although the thief is annoying, he is indeed very powerful.
Now add another equally annoying boatman.
Although Thorin Oakenshield's mind and temper have changed drastically now, it does not mean that his IQ will also change accordingly.
Although Dwalin and Kilifili were the most proficient tribesmen in the expedition team, it was indeed a bit difficult to deal with the thief and the annoying boatman.
Seeing Thorin being persuaded, Dvalin immediately continued: "What's more..."
"Besides what?"
Dwalin hesitated to speak, and Thorin Oakenshield immediately asked coldly.
"Morgan said that he did take treasure from the treasure house, but it was only his reward..."
"I knew that damn thief stole our treasure!"
"He actually dares to talk to me about remuneration now!"
As soon as he heard that Morgan had stolen his treasure from his treasury, Thorin Oakenshield was immediately furious.
But realizing that he had no way to deal with the other party now, he had no choice but to continue: "What else did he say?"
Dwalin spoke calmly: "He said the Arken Stone was not with him and he didn't take it."
"Didn't take it..."
"Hmph..."
Thorin Oakenshield snorted coldly.
He now knew how Morgan got away and stole the treasure.
It must have been while he was leading a group of expedition members to deal with the evil dragon.
Du took the opportunity to go to the treasure house and steal the treasure.
Among them, when he dealt with Smaug before, Smaug said that he diverted it just to let the thief steal the treasure.
Thorin Oakenshield didn't understand the meaning at that time, but now he understands it very well.
The thief could only be Morgan.
"What a nasty thief!"
Thorin Oakenshield became increasingly disgusted with Morgan.
But in his heart, he believed what Dvalin had just said.
After walking together along the way, he learned about Morgan.
The thief probably wasn't lying when he said he didn't get the Arken Stone.
Since the thief didn't take it, the Arken Stone must still be in the kingdom.
But now is not the time to track down the whereabouts of the Arken Stone.
It's better to block the door first.
Preventing those refugees from Changhu Town is the most important thing.
Thinking of this, Thorin Oakenshield stopped asking about Morgan. Instead, he turned to look at the dwarves and said, "Across from us, in the ruins, are the refugees from Long Lake Town. They are poor and cowardly, and they have nothing." .”
"However, our numbers are too small now and we have to defend ourselves."
"Now, I order everyone to take action together. We must block the front door and seal it as soon as possible..."
Thorin Oakenshield said as he looked at the dwarves and said in a deep voice: "Let's do it."
As soon as the words fell, the dwarves took action.
Bilbo looked at Thorin Oakenshield and wanted to say something.
But thinking about what Thorin had done during this period, he finally said nothing.
Upon seeing this, Balin the Whitebeard reached out and patted Bilbo on the shoulder, smiled, and then walked towards the city wall and began to block the door with a group of dwarves.
In River Valley Town.
As the refugee army walked into this ruined city.
The tragedy of Riverdale, which was destroyed by the dragon Smaug many years ago, was immediately revealed to everyone.
There are collapsed houses and walls everywhere.
The road is filled with all kinds of debris and fallen leaves.
There are weeds, thorns and dead branches of vines everywhere, covering all kinds of mottled and broken buildings.
In addition to the snow and debris on the roadside, you can also see some dark human skeletons from time to time.
Just looking at the dilapidated appearance of River Valley Town in front of me.
Everyone can imagine the tragedy when this city was ravaged by the evil dragon.
Fortunately, the dragon is dead now.
"Quick, everyone, follow..."
"It's getting dark and getting colder..."
"We need to find a suitable place to light a fire to keep warm..."
"Follow me quickly..."
Bard commanded the large team from behind.
Morgan led Xue Ge and Tilda at the front of the team and kept moving forward.
He decided to take everyone to live deep in the city.
When the orc army attacks the city in the future.
Everyone can have more time to prepare and escape.
So Morgan led the huge team of refugees behind him through the deserted market, the garden square, and the clock tower.
They stopped in front of the large square where the city hall is located.
Because the buildings here are very large and can accommodate more people, the wide squares can also help people gather together.
According to Morgan's rough estimate, the number of this huge group of refugees is about four to five hundred.
This is just the right place.
Standing in the middle of the square and looking around the square.
Morgan decided this was it.
A suitable place for repair has been found.
Morgan walked back and waved to Bud.
Soon, Bud ran over quickly.
After looking around, I decided immediately.
"We'll stay here tonight. Let's find a warm place out of the wind and make a bonfire..."
Bud said to the refugees.
Because when the refugees gathered by the lake in Changhu Town, Bud had several familiar people help take care of the refugees.
Even Alfred, the former secretary, was being manipulated by Bard.
A large group of refugees began to be resettled on the spot.
Morgan took Barn Snow Song and Tilda into the tallest spire building around the city hall.
After choosing a place to live, Baan, Snow Song and Tilda quickly started to pack up.
Morgan walked alone to the top spire attic.
From here, you can overlook the houses and streets in front of the entire river valley town. It is a good place.
Morgan decided to sleep here tonight.
Although there is some air leakage from the surrounding windows, it can be repaired.
Just do it.
Morgan immediately went downstairs and looked for materials to start repairing the windows.
It was already dusk.
The sky was dark and the wind was freezing.
Dark clouds cover the sky.
The sky is a sign that it's going to snow.
When Morgan simply repaired the window on the top floor attic and walked downstairs.
The spacious room below has been tidied up and cleaned by the three Barn brothers and sisters.
A huge bonfire was lit inside the house.
A pot was boiling on a grill set over the campfire.
These things are simple for the three brothers and sisters who grew up in a poor family.
"Uncle Morgan..."
Watching Morgan go downstairs and sit in front of the fire to warm herself quietly, Tilda immediately stood up and smiled.
Xue Ge, who was on the side, was adding things to the cooking pot. When he saw Morgan, he immediately said hello.
Smaug came too hard and too fast last night.
The residents fled in such a hurry that they had no time to take many things with them.
Therefore, almost all the refugees are now gathering in the corridor of the city hall below to cook a big pot of soup.
The soup contains wild vegetables picked by the refugees on the roadside where they came from, and a small amount of dry bread is torn into pieces to make a wild vegetable bread crumb soup.
If Morgan hadn't been there, Snow Song and Tilda would have had the same dinner today as all the refugees.
But now with Morgan, it's naturally different.
Morgan, who had brought dry food, naturally did not want to eat those unpalatable wild vegetable soups with the refugees.
At this time, Xue Ge added dried pork to the cooking pot.
The food was taken out by Morgan from the dimensional space, and was a dry food gift from the former bloated mayor of Changhu Town.
"Where's Barn?"
Morgan asked casually as he glanced around the room.
Tilda replied obediently: "Bane went to find his father."
"Then we won't wait for them."
Morgan smelled the rich meat-scented soup boiling out of the pot and felt hungry. He stood up and picked up the huge bloody package on the side.
He took out a bloody piece of meat, then pulled out the dagger on his leg and began to cut it apart.
Morgan cut three large pieces, one for each person, skewered them on sharpened wooden sticks and started roasting them.
Speaking of which, raw meat grilled directly in the wild did not taste good in the past.
But there is no way, the conditions are like that.
What's more, when you are really hungry, as long as you can have a hot bite, you don't care about the taste.
But Morgan was prepared this time.
Handed a large meat skewer to Tilda.
Morgan's finger with the space ring stretched into his arms.
When he took it out again, a small bottle of salt and a packet of spices suddenly appeared in his hand.
Naturally, the salt and spices were also given by the former mayor of Changhu.
A few days ago, at the farewell banquet, Morgan specifically asked for it from the bloated mayor.
But spices are expensive in this world, and Morgan only needs three small bags.
"Uncle Morgan, what is that?"
"It's salt..."
"Is it salt? Why is it different from what I had at home?"
"The packaging is just different..."
"What about this?"
"This is spice..."
"Wow, spices, are they the spices that are said to turn food into delicacies when added to it?"
"Well, I don't know if it can be turned into delicacies, but this is indeed a spice..."
“Then can it turn barbecue into delicious food?”
"Well, it should work. You'll know after you try it..."
"Thank you Uncle Morgan..."
Morgan was grilling meat while chatting tirelessly with the chirping Tilda.
Xue Ge stood by and barbecued quietly with a smile on his face.
Time passed slowly.
The roasted dragon meat in Morgan's hands exuded a strong fragrance under the combination of spices.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the room.
Morgan raised his head and saw Barn walking into the room quickly and said: "Uncle Morgan, there is someone outside looking for you."
Morgan frowned: "Someone is looking for me? Who?"
Baan: "They are two elves, one male and one female."
...
It was dark.
In the empty and desolate square of the city hall.
Tariel looked at the back of the human boy who was quickly leaving in front of him, his face was calm, but his heart was quite uneasy.
Morgan was finally found. Not only did she not have the slightest anger in her heart after traveling thousands of miles, but there was a trace of excitement, a trace of excitement and a trace of panic.
On the side, the woman's thoughts were different from those of Tariel.
The elf prince Legolas had mixed feelings in his heart.
He believes that regardless of bloodline, identity, strength, body shape, appearance, etc...
He was much stronger than that human being.
But why, Tariel refused to accept his love.
He has already shown it clearly enough in his daily communication.
"call..."
He let out a long breath.
Legolas was depressed but didn't show it on his face at all.
Tauriel advised himself.
This is what I insisted on.
"call..."
Legolas was taking a deep breath.
When a gentleman encounters something he cares about but is unable to do anything about it, he can only take a deep breath.
"call..."
...
Inside a steeple-shaped house.
"Two elves, one male and one female?"
Looking at Barn in front of him, Morgan reacted immediately after hesitating for a moment, his eyes immediately lit up, and he confirmed.
Baan nodded: "Yes!"
Morgan immediately stood up and asked, "Where are they?"
"It's right in the square, I'll take uncle down..."
Barn said, turning around to go out, but Morgan held his shoulders and asked, "You haven't eaten yet, have you?"
Barn looked at the strong-smelling barbecue in Uncle Morgan's hands, swallowed his saliva and nodded.
Seeing Barn's greedy expression, Morgan immediately smiled and said, "I won't give you this skewer. The knife is there and the meat is there. You can cut as many as you want."
"You can eat well here with Tilda and Snow Song, and I will talk to your father at his place."
After Morgan finished speaking, he walked straight out with the huge barbecue. The moment he walked out of the door, the barbecue in his hand disappeared.
Walk quickly downstairs.
Thinking about what Barn just said, two elves, a male and a female, came down below.
The female elf, Morgan was almost certainly Tariel, was here.
As for the other male elf, if his guess was correct, he should be Legolas Greenleaf, the elf prince of the Woodland Kingdom and Tauriel's flower protector.
Morgan has only been in this world for half a year, and he doesn't know many people, and even fewer elves.
Apart from the two above, he couldn't think of anyone else.
Just as he walked down the stairs, Morgan heard the noise coming from the front.
Then I saw that the corridors on both sides were crowded with the surviving residents of Changhu Town.
Small bonfires were burning one after another, keeping the corridor warm.
Morgan walked quickly through the corridor, and the residents he met on the road smiled and greeted Morgan.
Morgan showed a cold and cold attitude, and the way the residents greeted Morgan with a smile was considered a very bold act.
Faced with the kindness shown by these residents, Morgan smiled back one by one.
Walked all the way through the corridor and strode outside.
Morgan met Bud head on.
"Morgan..."
"There are elves outside looking for you."
Bud said, turning his head and looking at the dim square behind him, he spoke.
Morgan nodded: "I know..."
Bud continued: "Would you like some help?"
Morgan smiled, reached out and patted Bud on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I can handle it myself."
As he said that, he strode past Bud and walked forward.
By this time, it was already dark.
There is no moon tonight.
The night was extremely dark.
The cold wind howled and was biting to the bone.
In front of the empty City Hall Square.
Morgan walked into the darkness and saw a pretty figure standing in the darkness from a distance, her skirt swaying in the cold wind.
Morgan strode forward, looking at the increasingly clear figure in front of him, feeling excited.
Although he had thought about whether Tauriel would be looking for him just like he was looking for Kili in the memory plot.
However, Qili in the memory plot was seriously injured and dying due to the poison from the Demon Cave.
After learning about it, Tauriel ignored the orders of Thranduil, the king of Mirkwood, and left Mirkwood brazenly.
I am not injured in the real world.
Therefore, Morgan didn't have much hope that Tariel would show up to look for him.
As the guard captain of the Woodland Kingdom, Tariel's status is not low.
For her to deliberately disobey the Elf King's order to find him, Morgan is not that selfish.
But rationality is one aspect, and sensibility is another.
Emotionally, people are often the easiest to lose their rationality.
Like now.
Looking at the fair and pretty figure caught in the cold wind.
Morgan strode forward, looked at Tariel who was looking at him with a smile, and without saying anything, he opened his arms and hugged Tariel tightly in his arms.
At this moment, Morgan could clearly feel Tariel's body stiffening instantly.
"Ahem..."
At this moment, a cough came from the darkness not far away.
Morgan raised his head and looked at the source of the sound.
I saw a slender figure standing in the darkness not far away.
Who else is Legolas, the Elf Prince, if not a giant lightbulb?
A cough suddenly sounded.
Tauriel, whose face was red with embarrassment, immediately struggled out of Morgan's arms.
Morgan didn't feel embarrassed at all.
He already knew that Legolas was there, and he couldn't help hugging Tariel, but he also did it deliberately for Legolas to see.
Although I know that even if Tauriel and Legolas' actions are okay, they will be safer.
But he just didn't like Legolas.
This is the instinct of all men.
Morgan is no exception.
The only one who is not embarrassed is others.
Morgan calmly let go of the struggling Tarell and said with a smile: "Long time no see, I was a little excited for a moment."
"Huh, is it a long time? It's only five days..."
Seeing the gentle smile on Morgan's handsome face as always, Tarell's dissatisfaction with Morgan's reckless and enthusiastic actions quickly disappeared and he snorted coldly.
"Only five days?"
Morgan looked stunned, then slapped his forehead and said with a bitter smile, "I was confused."
"There were too many things going on during this period, so I had misconceptions..."
Morgan shook his head and said, then turned to look at Tariel and continued to smile: "But what I just said is right, Tariel, I am indeed very excited to see you."
"If you keep doing this, I'll be really angry."
Tariel looked at Morgan with a calm expression and said softly.
Legolas was still there.
She knew that Morgan was brave.
This was the case when I was arrested in the Woodland Kingdom, but I didn't expect that I would be bolder now.
Tariel has feelings and affection for Morgan.
But she didn't want to embarrass Legolas who was present.
After the words fell, and seeing that Tariel was really angry, Morgan immediately raised his hands slightly to show surrender, and then said with a serious smile: "Why are you here?"
"As an ally of the Woodland Kingdom, Changhu Town has also been a trading partner for many years..."
Before Tariel could speak, Legolas' voice and footsteps could be heard not far away: "Lake Town was attacked by an evil dragon, so we naturally have reason to come here to take a look."
After the words fell, Legolas finally stood in front of Morgan, his human love rival, and continued: "It's you, aren't you with the dwarves?"
"Why are you here?"
Legolas looked directly at Morgan, raising his fighting spirit for the first time.
