[The Lord of the Rings - The Hobbit] The era of poverty alleviation in the dark jungle

The speed of the ship was not fast due to the head current going north.After three days and three nights, Rosewen's boat finally arrived at the next stop - Hegu Town.

It was a cloudy day at that time, and the veil-like mist shrouded the distant lonely mountain in the morning, and the conspicuous town at the foot of the mountain stood proudly in the thin mist.

The Dense Forest River passes through the Misty Dense Forest from west to east, and diverges into two rivers heading south and north in the east, and Changhu Town is located at the diversion.And along the river going north until the end of the river, you can reach Hegu Town.River Valley Town is located just north of Changhu Town, built at the foot of the lonely mountain, and prospered by relying on trade with dwarves.

In times of peace, it has always been considered the domain of the dwarves, even though its townspeople claim to be completely independent.

Probably influenced by the architectural style of the dwarves, the buildings here are majestic and unrestrained, and the towns built along the terrain leaning against the lonely mountain are integrated with the tall lonely mountain and are majestic.It's not as small and dilapidated as Changhu Town. The houses here are all built of huge stones. If you get closer, you can see the exquisite carvings on the stone walls.Rosewin knew it was written by a dwarf just by looking at it.

Ingenious, the word is tailor-made for dwarves.

As soon as Luothwen's boat arrived at the shore, it attracted a large crowd of people watching--few elves set foot in this place, because the dwarf king hates pointy ears.The last time a sharp-eared hobbit came to buy goods, they were all rudely kicked out.

"Mom, I just said that you are too polite to those guys." The little gray wolf muttered, extremely dissatisfied with the mayor of Changhu Town's move to drive them away, and complained endlessly along the way.

Luo Siwen endured the endless nagging of this guy all the way, and when he heard it chattering again and again, he immediately pushed it aside: "Shut up!" Well, the weight is a bit heavy, it's time to lose weight Alright, go back and let it eat less barbecue.

Stepping on the solid stone street with black boots, Rosewen raised his head and squinted at the stone dwarf statue that was as high as the mountain in the distance.

"My lord," there was a thick and powerful roar, those who didn't know it thought it was to drive away the guests, "my king has been waiting for you in the palace for a long time."

Luo Siwen bowed his head, and it was a young dwarf who was less than his knees.This cute little man held a spear in his right hand, put his left hand on his chest, and solemnly bowed to her as a dwarf. His well-wrought armor fit his fat little body very snugly.

Seeing her looking at him, the dwarf's small gray eyes stared very vigorously, and he tried hard to straighten his chest.

"It's my honor, and may Aoli always be by your side." Luo Siwen leaned down and responded cordially.

Hearing this sentence, the young dwarf gave a rough laugh and was no longer so restrained.The arrogance and enthusiasm that belonged to the dwarves burst out at once, and he took small quick steps and urged her: "Come on, dear friend of the dwarves, our king has been looking forward to your arrival, and I think he probably can't wait. up.

They entered the town, through wide, clean bluestone streets.Noisy noises poured out from the street all of a sudden, and the unique hospitality of the dwarves seems to have infected this small town, and the people in the town greeted guests with full enthusiasm.

"Come and see, pass by, the strongest and purest barley beer, drink it once and think about it again."

"Hey, delicious barbecue ~ eating a piece will make you full for a day, and we will work harder!"

……

Luo Siwen slowly visited, and the dwarf who led the way urged her with a little temper.

"My lord, after seeing the king, I will show you around again, what do you think?"

"Okay, thank you."

"Hey, we're all friends, thank you for everything," the dwarf was in a better mood, and he became familiar with his words, "I'll invite you to the best tavern here later, it's a friend for a drink!!"

"Hahaha..." Luo Siwen wiped off her cold sweat, she was so enthusiastic, although she had seen dwarves treat guests before.

In order not to embarrass this cute dwarf, Rosewin quickened his pace and followed him.When entering the Lonely Mountain, Luo Siwen was stunned. Decades ago, this town had just taken shape, and the kingdom at the foot of the Lonely Mountain had just been established. At that time, this place was relatively primitive.Unexpectedly, in just a few decades, this group of little men created such an extraordinary miracle with a body of less than one meter.

The two gatekeeper statues are more exquisite. If you look at them from a distance, they seem to be two giants standing silently in front of the mountain.

"This is our Turin ancestor," said the little man proudly. "They led our Turin tribe to found the glorious kingdom of Khasad-Dum."

These little guys are really not crazy or alive!Why do they think that there is money to fry chicken there, and that is our territory, but they never think about the reason for the destruction of the kingdom.

The extreme paranoia of wealth has caused them to be fearless.

"We have heard about you since we were young," the little man said with admiration, "I heard that you were once the wealth manager of Khasad-dum and brought us a lot of wealth. The group of tall businessmen talked about You're all terrified..."

Rosewin twitched the corners of her mouth, and followed him into the cave.

"My dream is to become someone like you, to become a super rich man..." The little man would not look at Luo Siwen's face at all (Luo Siwen's slander: I am not rich, it seems that I am still working for others. Got it), pointed at the two elf guards following Rosewen with a spear, "You guys, wait here, don't go in!"

The faces of the elf guards were obviously very ugly, but Rosewen ordered them to stay with the little gray wolf in elf language.

A crow-like black bird rolled its small eyes a few times, and suddenly spread its wings and flew out with a clatter.

"Oh, that is our messenger bird, and it has gone to announce your arrival to the king!" said the little man.

Thorne had been waiting for a long time, Duwu notified that Luo Siwen had arrived, he jumped off the throne in a hurry, and rushed out: "Let her in quickly!"

After thinking about it, his fat body was fired like a cannon.The entourage behind hurriedly ran out, he had never seen a king run so fast in his life, he thought to himself.

"Respected King, it is my honor to be invited by you." Luo Siwen bent down and looked at him.

"No, I have been waiting for your arrival since Duwu brought your news this morning," Thorne rubbed his fat little hands, "I am very glad to meet you. Since you left in a hurry last time, I have been waiting for you." I've been wondering if I could see you again."

Rosewin smiled and said, "I've seen Hegu Town at the foot of the mountain. You have managed it very well, not inferior to your grandfather at all."

Thorn, like a little friend who has been given a little red flower, laughed happily: "Thanks to Oli, with your help, I believe that Lonely Mountain will be the next Khasad-dum!"

Come on, Luo Siwen didn't put herself in again this time.

"It's a pity that those pointed ears attacked too quickly!" Thorne muttered, kicking a golden vase by the pillar out.

"Of course, I didn't mean to accuse you, you have unusually sharp ears." He added another sentence trying to cover up.

Luo Siwen coughed and asked, "How does the annual gold and silver output of Gushan compare with that of Kezadum?"

"I don't know, but I heard from an uncle of mine that it's less than one-tenth of what it was in the heyday of Khasad-dum. God, I really can't imagine it." Thorn took her to his small vault.

"This is all my wealth!" He proudly announced to Rosewen, his small eyes exuded a radiant light, "Although I think it probably doesn't count for you who used to be in charge of the largest treasury of the dwarves What... well, let me ask, how much does that pointy ear pay you?"

Thorne continued to dig Thranduil's corner without giving up.

Rosewin admitted that the gold in this room really almost blinded her dog's eyes, but Thorn probably didn't know that she still had nearly a box of Mithril stored in Khasad-dum - probably no employer could pay more than that. Fatty gave more salary.

"I have enjoyed my work in the kingdom of my people, and this is the best salary the Elf King can give me."

Thorne was obviously very dissatisfied with her answer, but he didn't force Rosewin anymore (mainly because he was afraid that this time it would scare people away again).

"Okay, okay..." he said dissatisfiedly, "I hired a painter in my palace recently, would you like to try his painting skills with me?"

"It's my honor." Luo Siwen said with a smile, this is like the so-called photo-taking in the previous life!

A dwarf in a short robe stood in front of Rose and Thorne, holding a large brush in his right hand and a paint tray in his left.

"Closer..." Thorne asked Rosewen, who was behind him, to stand closer.

The dwarf drew for a whole afternoon, and by the end of the day Rosewen was too tired to look at the result.

"Hahaha, I'll ask the artisan to frame it in a gold frame later." Thorne showed the painting in front of her energetically, and Rosewen saw black lines on her face in the painting, I can't help but understand Cixi's mood back then.

Ugly as hell!No wonder Gimli's cute little dwarf was drawn as a half-orc in the mouth of Legolas.

But Thorne was very satisfied, and patted her arm: "Although those with pointed ears are very sinister and cunning, the dwarves trust their friends very much."

"At night, we will cleanse you up..."

Luo Siwen rubbed her sore waist and said, "No, let's talk about cooperation..."

"Don't say no to the dwarves," Thorne said hoarsely. "I'm so tired, I'm going to rest. If you have something to say, you must speak, and my waiter will serve you."

He stretched his waist, and walked away quickly.

Luo Siwen's teeth gritted for a while, and she would rather die than jump to this place because of the bad temper of the dwarf, and she was very troubled.Every boss never listens to persuasion, does whatever he wants, and never cares about other people's life or death for money.

At this time, the young dwarf came up to her again and looked at her excitedly: "Come on, I invite you to dinner, please teach me how to get rich."

Recently, there has been a lot of discussion on the forum about this problem of no Xipi. People who are hard at emotional dramas have been diving to watch

There are big differences in definitions, and I can't tell, but if Wu Xipi really comes out, I guess I will switch to writing plot streams.

I used to be scolded for writing romantic dramas while wearing a vest (similar to the relationship between the male and female protagonists who are clearly classmates/siblings/friends...I felt cheated when I didn’t see the emotional drama at the end), so I wrote pure plots in a fit of anger, but instead Fire.Now I can’t find Wu Xipi in the category. If you choose unknown aptitude, there is no list at all.

Looking secretly... But few pure readers will look for Wuxi Piwen, worrying...

But don't doubt me, after some training, my current romance scenes are much better than before. This article is a real romance.In the next chapter, Xiao Yezi will have a part in it, um, I guess there will be...
