Chapter 1092 1074. Your own decision

"I see."

After Bilbo stood up, Lan sighed and nodded.

It is natural for the dwarves to retake their hometown, and there is no reason to stop them in the first place. These words are just Lan En's reminder to Thorin for peace of mind.

After nodding, Lan En was ready to greet the flannel ball and leave.

But wait until the kitten jumps lightly from the opposite roof to Lan En.

“Meow~”

Ellu stood up, its two white front paws drooping, and its furry head looked hesitantly at the two dwarf boats, especially its friend Bilbo on the boat, and then at Lan En.

“That, boss meow! Why don’t you let me go with them too!”

"Um?"

Lan lowered his head and looked at the flannel ball strangely, and so did Bilbo.

"They mainly need to act secretly this time and steal a gem, right?"

Flannel ball raised his head and said softly.

 Mao Mao has also heard a rough idea of ​​Thorin's plan for their restoration of the country.

“Bilbo’s feet have flesh pads, and I also have flesh pads. His scent is unfamiliar to the dragon, and Smaug must have never smelled my scent either, meow!”

 flannel ball was a little unsure at first, but the more he talked about it, the more confident he became.

Finally, he straightened up his chest and stood with his front paws on his hips.

“You’re stealing things! I’m very skilled at it, meow!”

“As long as you are not discovered while stealing, the evil dragon will not wake up and everyone will not be in danger, meow! After all, stealing gems is the most critical part!”

“I can help, meow!”

The kitten's declaration caused a small discussion among the dwarves.

The dwarves were also excited by the flannel ball.

"Yes!" Groin scratched his lush beard and said, "The important thing is to steal things. It would be best if you don't have to meet Smaug!"

"We have Bilbo! He is a master snitch, everyone can see it!" Bombo sat in the boat like a big soft ball. "But wouldn't it be better to have another kitty master snitch? Double master snitch! Double master success rate!”

Even Dwalin, who has always been the toughest member of the dwarves’ Lonely Mountain Expedition Team, couldn’t stop nodding at his bald head with his hands crossed.

"For the sake of our hometown, we are not afraid of death or facing the dragon. But if we can proceed safely as planned, why not?"

But now, it was Bilbo himself who bravely stood up to speak just now and waved his hands repeatedly.

“No! Stop it!”

He said loudly, and stood up from the boat unsteadily, looking at the velvet ball on the shore.

"This is dangerous, flannel ball. I can't, I can't let you take risks with me just because we are friends. I don't have that right. That's a dragon! It's my job to steal from under its nose."

“But after successfully stealing something, many people will be safe!”

The flannel ball’s furry little face looked at the hobbit seriously.

“I’m not helping because I’m your friend, meow! This is my own decision, meow!”

After saying that, Eluma turned around and looked up at his boss, his big watery eyes full of expectation.

“Can you meow, boss?”

But now, only half of the ship's hull is left floating in the waterway. Only a few gold coins are scattered in the gaps between the planks of the ship's hull. The rest of the gold and silver treasures have sunk to the bottom.

The mayor with a big belly was also lying on his back on this half of the boat, with his legs soaked in the water. Only his upper body was prevented from sliding down due to friction.

The lace scarf around his neck has been filled with blood flowing from his neck.

The whole person was pale from blood loss and bluish-white from freezing.

Until now, he was still holding the handle of a golden cup tightly in his stiff hand.

“Dragon disease.”

 Lan En murmured as he watched the half of the boat with the body drifting away in the waterway along with the ice floes.

There are still many wisps of smoke from the fire floating upward in Changhu Town.

From the ruins came muffled or heart-wrenching cries.

 Lan En headed towards the square. As expected, the closer he got to the square, the louder the noise from the crowd became.

The square in front of the mayor's residence was originally a gathering place. People who were frightened last night still stayed here nervously, not wanting to leave even if it was snowing.

The safety here last night was what these townspeople who had suffered changes cared about most.

The shield-bearing guards were replaced in the square to rest, and a group of male townspeople took over the shields, weapons, and armors. They were still standing nervously at the position of the defense line last night, staring at the dark corners and dilapidated ruins outside the defense line, and taking precautions. Looking at the orcs who have left.

The mayor's official residence has already begun to have people coming in and out, and many female townspeople are bringing out large basins of hot water and food from inside.

Bard was busy in the middle of the square.

“Thank God! You’re here!”

As soon as he saw the tall figure outside the square, Bud immediately walked over while shouting.

“It seems you did a good job, Mr. Bud.”

With the curious and amazed eyes of the townspeople, Lan was welcomed in by Bard.

"Stop talking." Bud frowned, looking like he had a headache, "People were frightened last night, and now they stay in the square and refuse to leave, but now it's starting to snow again, so we can't live in the open air. "

After finishing speaking, Bard looked at the witcher seriously.

"Thank you, Lan En. We all heard from the townspeople you brought here yesterday that you saved many people. And because you reminded the mayor, these guards were able to wear shields at that time. Build a line of defense.”

“And if something happens to my children, I really don’t know if I have the courage to live now.”

Bard said sincerely and looked behind him.

 Lan En also turned his head. His three children were helping others as much as they could.

“Maybe I can’t repay your help now, but please believe that our family will always remember this kindness.”

"Don't say too much." Lan En waved his hand and smiled, "Just have some food. It's been a busy night and I haven't eaten anything hot yet."

Bard nodded and called to his little daughter behind him.

“Sigrid, bring me some food. It needs to be hot!”

Then he turned his head and looked at Lan En.

“Let’s eat together and let’s talk while we eat. My mind is in chaos right now, with problems everywhere and problems that need to be solved everywhere.”

“But I heard that you are a descendant of the Lord of River Valley City.”

“I am a descendant of the city lord, but I grew up in Changhu Town. I can fish and shoot arrows, but I have never done these things.”

Bard's little daughter brought over two steaming dinner plates, but before Lan En and Bard could sit down and start eating, there was another commotion outside the square.

That was two elves appearing in front of people.
