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

A band of Elven warriors traveled westward along the Jungle River to aid Beorn.

Luo Siwen and Legolas were busy with their affairs, leaving these days, the pile of documents on the desk almost drowned Luo Siwen.

Legolas stayed on to help with the paperwork, though he was not good at clerical work.

"Recently, several humans escaped from Changhu Town by swimming overnight, saying that they saw the recruitment advertisement of Lord Wizard." Legolas stared at Rosewin with a playful smile, "Ada received a message from the mayor of the town. I wrote a letter, but because it was long and tedious, I let me handle that letter. The mayor accused you of spreading rumors in Changhu Town to confuse his people, and asked us to send back all the humans who smuggled in... ..."

He put his face close to Luo Siwen, snorted warmly, and said in a rising and elegant tone: "My lord wizard, what bad thing did you do to let that human being try his best to discredit you in front of Ada?"

"As you can see, I tricked a group of humans into working for us. The number of wood elves is not enough, and the dense forest river section has always needed a lot of people to patrol."

"What can that group of humans do?" Legolas said. "Let them patrol and resist spiders? They are simply a group of people who enjoy peace and are used to it. Send them to the battlefield to die."

"I intend to let them do other things such as fishing, and the patrolling can only be done by the wood elves."

Legolas chuckled: "Honey, those humans will be scared away by giant spiders, you don't understand humans."

"Money makes ghosts work, and you are the one who doesn't understand humans, my dear Legolas."

"Then make a bet," Legolas said, raising his head, "I bet that none of the humans who come here will stay here for a year."

Luo Siwen turned his face to look at him, and said, "One year is too short. I bet that more than half of the group of humans who came this year will not only stay, but also settle here forever."

"Okay, otherwise, you lose."

"Deal, what about the bet?"

Legolas said with bright eyes, "I have won, you go and beg Ada to let me walk freely outside Mirkwood."

"Did you lose?"

"I'll be reluctant to work for the wizard!" Legolas's abacus was crackling (^0^)/

"It's not fair."

"What do you want?"

Luo Siwen thought for a while, then showed a sly smile: "Why don't you marry me with your whole body!"

"Ah, ah?"

At this time, there were three knocks on the door outside the study.

Legolas stopped joking with Rosewin and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

"The humans in Changhu Town want to see the wizard." The male elf guard outside the door said.

"Let them go to the living room, and the wizard will go to meet the guests immediately."

"clear."

The people in Changhu Town waited for their employer with all kinds of thoughts.They are all low-level people. They belong to the kind of people who don't need to bring a lot of luggage when they leave. They are all bachelors and come to join the wood elves for various reasons.

Of course, the only thing that attracted them was the pie painted by Luo Siwen.

"You all introduce your past occupations and directors one by one, and I will arrange different positions for you according to your resume. Of course, not everyone can be arranged. If you have no specialties and are unwilling to accept the arrangement, then I can only say sorry to you."

There was a commotion in the crowd immediately, Luo Siwen felt that their expressions were a little strange, but no one stepped forward to introduce themselves, and couldn't help but said: "If you have other questions, just tell me."

At this time, the crowd discussed in a low voice, and a tall man was pushed out.

"what is your job?"

"I'm a blacksmith..." the man said a little uneasy, "But I, we are not here to ask the wood elves to take us in. Rather—we hope that the wizard can ask the mayor to accept us back."

These words rolled over Luo Siwen's heart like a thunderbolt, making her unable to react for a while.

With a lot of thoughts, Luo Siwen vaguely thought of the reason, and nodded for him to continue.

"We escaped the mayor's guards and came to you because of the beautiful scene you described, Mr. Wizard. The rich reward, the comfortable environment... But, we soon discovered that everything was not the same. We stayed In just a few days in the city, there have been several attacks by giant spiders. Last time, this group of disgusting creatures even broke through the defense line of your soldiers and dragged away one of our compatriots..." At this point, the man couldn't help crying stand up.

"We came here after listening to your words, now we ask you to ask the mayor for forgiveness as a wizard, let us go back to the East!" They said confidently.

"You all think so?" Luo Siwen said, "Wood elf fighters have defended here for decades, and you are afraid after only staying for a few days? You even accused our soldiers of not protecting you well. If one day, this outpost No more, giant spiders will cross the jungle river unceremoniously, and orcs will drive straight in without restraint, reaching the land of the east."

The crowd was silent, but at this moment, a teenager's clear voice broke the silence.

"Master Wizard, my brother and I are willing to follow you around."

Luo Siwen looked up at the source of the sound, and an obviously malnourished teenager walked out of the crowd.All eyes in the room were instantly focused on this fearless young man.

"Crazy!" Someone in the crowd cursed in a low voice.

"Then he will be a lunatic with courage!" Luo Siwen said coldly, and looked at the boy again.

The boy was dressed in shabby clothes, but his back was straighter than anyone else, and his head was raised higher than anyone else.His rags still did not conceal his imposing manner. This young man must have received a very good education, perhaps he was originally from a well-to-do family.

"My child, I appreciate your courage," Luo Siwen said with an amiable face, "You should also know that death is always around, and you may die without bones tomorrow. You know, giant spiders like The meat of young creatures, you are definitely the primary target of their predation... When you are young, you will have some chivalrous actions, but if that is the case, I suggest you hide in the east with your compatriots!"

"I understand that since I was 15 years old, I have been a boatman to earn money for my family. I have long been a man who can take care of himself."

"The wood elves don't need a boatman," Rosewen said bluntly, looking at his thin body, "we are too busy to take care of ourselves, and we can't do charity at all. If you have other skills, I will let you get what you deserve of."

The boy straightened his face and said loudly, "I know how to make wine. My grandfather was once the largest supplier of wine to the Wood Elves. Our wine was once exported to the edge of the continent."

"Then why are you in such a desperate state?" Luo Siwen frowned.

"Because the mayor's relatives also opened a wine shop." Another voice came in, speaking of the man who just introduced himself as a blacksmith.

He said with a miserable face: "If it wasn't for our livelihood, we would never hide here. Unexpectedly, what we have to pay here is a life."

Luo Siwen sighed inwardly. Some people would risk their lives for money, and some people didn't think of dying for a bite of food. It's useless for this group of people to forcefully stay.

But if they were to go back, she would definitely not be able to give in to the mayor.

"I won't ask the mayor," Rosewen said, looking at their panicked faces, "but I will give you another way. But, before that, I have to let you understand that the consequences of your choices I am not obligated to bear the consequences, you must bear the consequences for your wrong choices."

The crowd below didn't make a sound, just looked at her quietly.

"To the north of Changhu Town is Hegu Town, maybe you can go and settle there. The mayor there is sensible and wise, he is a good person, and he is worthy of your service."

Legolas, who was sitting quietly, suddenly said: "This is the only way out for you. Those who want to go back to Long Lake Town can go back on their own. Those who are willing to go to River Valley Town, the elves will send a letter to inform the dwarves."

"I heard," another person complained dissatisfiedly, "you were attacked by spiders in the forest leading to the Lonely Mountain last night. What you are doing now is to let us die."

Rosewin's face was very ugly. Legolas knew that she was angry, and replied aloud: "We have cleared the forest north of the Jungle River, and the elf warriors will escort you safely out of the territory of the Woodland Kingdom."

These people couldn't wait, the wizard replied, and they couldn't wait to set off.

"What's your name?"

"I'm from the Tario family, but people call me Tario."

"Very good, Tario, where's your brother?" Rosewen asked the boy standing in front of him.

"He's sick and can't come here. He's at the hotel," the boy replied. "Although the benevolent elf waived our lodging and meal expenses, it still cost me all my savings to come here."

Only then did his face show a sad look, and he said: "My brother is very smart and a good fisherman. Your lord wizard must need him! He is your admirer."

"I'll let the elf doctor accompany you to treat your brother. Don't worry too much." Luo Siwen rubbed her temples, feeling that today was really troublesome.

After the boy left with gratitude, Rosewin glared at Legolas with a bit of anger.

"If you knew it earlier, you should have told me earlier! This kind of thing shouldn't be a joke!"

Legolas was really angry when he saw her, and thought for a while and said, "It's useless to keep these humans anyway."

Immediately afterwards, he said: "I would like to accept the bet, Master Wizard will not break his promise!"

"Don't worry, there is still more than half a year to write who wins and who loses!" Luo Siwen was so angry that after thinking about it, she suddenly stared at Legolas.

"What's the matter?" He suddenly had a bad premonition, wouldn't... offend this tough apprentice, right?

A large basin of water suddenly appeared in the air, splashing him with chills.

"Summer is so hot!" Rosewen walked into the room slowly with her hands behind her back, leaving behind Legolas who wanted to cry without tears.

The summer sun baked the floor like a toaster, several fast horses drove into the outpost, the leader was dressed in gray magic robes and had silver hair.

This year, Estali and Misranda came to the jungle outpost.

The author has something to say:

Qi: I think dwarves and dragons have a view of money that can only come in and out, so it’s better to let Brother Simao be the administrator of the dwarf’s treasury, just like Grandet, who sits and sleeps in the golden mountain every day, and then the dwarves Responsible for earning more gold coins. For Brother Simao, all the finances in the treasury belong to him, and for the dwarves, the entire treasury belongs to them. Isn’t this a happy ending?

——As mentioned in the last chapter, these two races are too possessive.However, the idea is good, add a finer to my dear

Cactus: After forming an alliance, the dwarves are in trouble. Would King Se want to support them?I don't think he will be happy, but the hostess must help, after all the dwarves are so friendly to her.

——I will support, even if I hate dwarves, I still have a moral sympathy.King Se is a benevolent king.If you have an idea, give it a shot
