Chapter 258 The King Is Starting to Paint Pancakes

Jing Shen Tian Si
The door opened in a hurry, and Bud looked at the room where only his three children were left. He was at a loss for a moment and then became a little nervous.
"Dad, I've tried my best to stop them," Bane said.
"How long have they been gone?"
"Almost two hours."
"Two hours?" Aaron opened his mouth in astonishment, "They left shortly after we left?
Wait, did they leave me any words? "
"Stayed." The younger daughter nodded, "Sorin said he believes you will follow by yourself, and the others also said the same."
Hearing this, the corners of Aaron's mouth twitched slightly.
It is a good thing to be trusted, but this kind of trust makes people laugh and cry.
"Where's Kili? Did he say anything?"
"He said let's say thank you for him," Barn said, "and I'm sorry."
"Hehe! I can't bear it!" Aaron sneered and waved his hands, "I worked so hard to save his life, but I didn't expect him to not cherish himself."
"Why are you still talking about this?" Bud was burning with anxiety, "The point is where did they go? Did they leave Changhu Town?"
"Definitely not." Aaron said firmly, "Dwarves are more stubborn than you can imagine. They will only leave if they get what they want."
Bud froze for a moment, "You mean?"
"The arsenal is only there, and it can only be there."
"Then let's go..."
"Go to what?
Your home is already under surveillance. What is the difference between going to the arsenal and setting yourself on fire in this situation?
And they will not steal weapons during the day, the best time to act is after dark. "
Bud was stunned for a moment, "Then shall we go in the dark?"
"No." Aaron resolutely refused. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The pier is the closest to the arsenal. After they get the weapons, they will definitely board the ship and leave there."
"It makes sense." Bud suddenly realized, "I'm going to the pier right now, and I must stop them."
"How many times do you want me to say it, you can't stop it."
"But the townspeople will let them give up." Bud said, putting on his bow and arrow, and walked out of the room freely.
"Will my dad succeed?" Sigrid asked worriedly.
"No." Aaron sighed and shook his head. "He is doomed to fail, but there will be no danger. The dwarves will not hurt him."
He is extremely confident in his own judgment. Bud is not a bad person, and he can't make a killer. Facing the dwarf who treats death like home, he can only back down.
As for appealing to the townspeople, it is even more impossible. The townspeople hope that Sorin will succeed, only in this way can they live a good life.
"But why did Dad stop them?" Bain asked puzzled.
"Because of a prophecy." Aaron pouted, "Our destination is the Lonely Mountain. He worried that we would disturb the dragon in it and bring destruction to Changhu Town. Do you believe in this illusory prophecy?"
The three brothers and sisters looked at each other, then nodded in unison.
"Uh...maybe I didn't explain clearly.
If Sorin becomes the King of the Lonely Mountain, Changhu Town will change the world, and you will live comfortably in the rest of your life. "
"But these seem worthless compared to life!"
Bahn's tone was complicated, but his attitude was extremely firm, and his two younger sisters also gave him affirmative looks.
Aaron: …
Bud is definitely a qualified father, and there is no one in this family education.
As long as they don't die halfway, these three children will definitely have a bright future.
"What about you?" Sigrid looked at Aaron, "How are you going to keep up with them?"
"I'm a wizard, and this question couldn't be easier for me." Aaron pointed to the lonely mountain road outside the window, and said with a meaningful smile, "Knowing the end point, I can go wherever I want, and no one can stop me. "
"But before that, there is something that needs your help." Aaron scratched his head in embarrassment, and then put the package behind his back on the floor, revealing various medicinal materials.
"What are you buying so much medicine for?" Bahne asked.
"Why do you care so much?" Aaron took out three gold coins directly, "You are all locals, please help me classify these medicines, and leave me the ones you don't know."
......
As night fell, there was a commotion in the town.
Aaron, who was decocting the medicine, heard the sound of warning, and looked at the torches that were quickly lit outside the window, and his face couldn't help turning ugly.
Because a team of guards was pressing the dwarf to walk to the mayor's residence, the residents didn't go to sleep anymore, and spontaneously went to watch the excitement.
"They were arrested?" Barn's face turned pale, and he looked at Aaron in surprise, "Then my dad doesn't have to stop them?"
"Maybe!" Aaron spread his hands, "I thought of everything, but I didn't expect them to fall on the first step.
You stay at home and take care of my casserole. After the medicine is boiled, pour it into a bottle and seal it. "
After leaving the door, it was snowing heavily outside, exaggerating a solemn atmosphere.
Aaron wrapped himself up so that only half of his face was exposed, walked slowly among the crowd, and stopped in front of the gate of the mayor.
After a while, he felt someone patting himself on the shoulder, and turned his head to see that Bud was looking at him depressedly.
"It's a big mess, and it's hard to end if it's not done well."
"Then let me give you an idea." Aaron lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "Don't be the first bird."
"But..."
"No, but, I'm a wizard, and I'll save them if necessary." Aaron said, it's not too difficult for him to kill them, but the hard part is to get them out.
But in the face of so many guards and ordinary residents, ordinary magic may not be able to handle it. Should we use large magic?
Bud's heart tightened, "What are you going to do? I warn you not to hurt innocent people."
"Don't worry, I won't hurt people casually." Aaron's eyes flashed brightly, "What do you think of kidnapping the mayor?"
Bud: …
Does that sound like something a teenager would say?
"Are you sure?" Bud was a little skeptical, "Although the mayor is a piece of trash, there are quite a few guards around him."
"Rest assured, I have experience, and a lot of it.
I have hijacked trolls and orc kings. If it wasn't for me, Thorin and the others would have died countless times. "
The corners of Bud's eyes twitched slightly, and he no longer doubted in his heart, but he moved a little to the side unconsciously.
Nima, what kind of family taught such a cruel person?
The door opened, and a middle-aged man with a fat head and thinning hair came out, and Alfred stood beside him respectfully.
"What's going on?" the mayor asked angrily.
"We caught the weapon thief on the spot, my lord."
"Oh!" A wicked smile appeared on the mayor's face, "Our enemy?"
"They may be a group of mercenaries, my lord," Alfred said.
"Shut up," Dwalin snarled, "Do you know who you're talking to?
This is no ordinary thief, he is Thorin, son of Thrain, grandson of Thror. "
Thorin slowly stood up and confessed his identity in front of everyone in the town.
He didn't want to do this either, it was too high-profile after all, but there was no other way now.
"We are the dwarves of Irubor, and we have come to reclaim our homeland.
I still remember the prosperity of Changhu Town in the past. The port was moored with a fleet full of silk and precious stones. At that time, Changhu Town was not dilapidated at all. It used to be the trading center of the whole north. "
This passage resonated with the townspeople, and they all recalled their past life, which was completely different from the current life of muddling along or even lingering on one's last breath.
"I hope to see the prosperity reappear, I hope to revive the glory of the dwarves, and let the wealth flow from the hall of Irubor again."
As soon as the voice fell, cheers erupted from all around, and even the mayor's heart beat.
What kind of thief is this!Obviously the God of Wealth.
But among the crowd, Aaron was struggling to pull Bud who wanted to rush out, "Don't go, it's useless to go."
"But if you let him continue to speak, you really can't stop him."
"You can't stop it anymore. Look at these people. Their eyes are full of longing and joy. They won't listen to you at this time."
"But life is more important."
"I quite agree with this, nothing is more important than life.
But the problem is that everyone thinks so. At this moment, money is more important to these people.
Do you know what it means to cut off one's wealth is like killing one's parents? "
Bud was silent for a few seconds before he opened his mouth and said, "Let me try, otherwise I will feel guilty even if I die."
Hearing this, Aaron pursed his lips and let go of his arm.
Bud breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the crowd solemnly, and said loudly: "Death is what you will bring to us. The dragon flame that destroys everything. If you wake up that giant beast, he will kill us all."
Sorin looked at Bard in surprise, but quickly adjusted, "You can also listen to this naysayer, but I assure you, if we succeed, we will..."
"Cough cough!"
Continuous coughing interrupted Thorin, and Aaron walked out from the crowd.
"Gaius, what do you mean?"
"Uh, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just feel that the king's promise can't be too casual." Aaron smiled awkwardly but politely, "I suggest at least rebuilding the entire Long Lake Town, what do you think? ?”
Thorin was taken aback for a moment, he was almost about to say that he shared Irubor's wealth just now.
But in fact, this is really impossible. If all the money is given to these townspeople, how can the dwarves rebuild Irubor.
"That's right." Thorin silently lowered the standard, and roared loudly: "We will help rebuild the entire Esgalos."
The townspeople all showed joy. They have lived in such a messy environment for decades, and it is natural for someone to help rebuild their homes.
Aaron secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not everyone can restrain himself in the face of huge wealth.
Now that this verbal agreement has been reached, it won't be too ugly if it turns out at that time, and if it doesn't work, just take out your share of the reward.
He doesn't pay much attention to money, one-fifteenth of the treasure should be enough to rebuild this place.
"Dad, I've tried my best to stop them," Bane said.
"How long have they been gone?"
"Almost two hours."
"Two hours?" Aaron opened his mouth in astonishment, "They left shortly after we left?
Wait, did they leave me any words? "
