Chapter 160: Transaction and Black Bear Bisog
After putting away the magic flying carpet, Wayne looked around at the surprised crowd and saw that they were all looking at him in surprise, so Wayne didn't pay much attention.
If he were in the wizarding world, he would most likely put away the flying carpet outside the city and walk into the city without attracting attention.
But when he came to Middle-earth, Wayne was not ready to be so low-key. If he wanted to be famous in this world where good and evil are clearly divided, he had to do some high-profile things to let people remember your reputation and your story. , remember your great power.
Summarize it in one simple sentence.
The world needs heroes.
Although he has no idea of going on a mission to fight against the dark forces yet, and is in the stage of keeping a low profile and honing his skills, things like reputation and prestige need to be accumulated slowly.
After looking around, Wayne quickly noticed the location of the blacksmith shop and saw the handsome dwarf man with extraordinary temperament.
Although his memory was a little fuzzy, after seeing the dwarf's appearance and temperament, Wayne quickly determined that this was the famous dwarf handsome guy and dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield in the movie.
Seeing that the other party was also staring at him carefully, Wayne showed a polite smile on his face and nodded to Thorin. Then without looking at anyone else, he walked up to him and said directly: "This dwarf
gentleman , my name is Wayne, I came to Bree Town, hoping to find a group of dwarf builders to build a manor for me." "
Although it is a bit presumptuous, I heard that the dwarf craftsmen are very skilled, you look like a A person of considerable status among the dwarves, can you introduce me to some dwarf craftsmen?"
Sony kept a silent and majestic expression on his face, looked at the strange man in front of him with sharp eyes, and suddenly noticed that his ears were actually It has pointed ears like an elf, and I can't help but feel shocked.
Although the man in front of him was strong and not like those tall and weak elves living in the forest, he couldn't help but asked:
"What's wrong with your ears? Are you an elf?"
Upon hearing this, Wayne just shook his head lightly and said,
"No, I'm not an elf. I just have some special blood in my body that makes me grow pointed ears. "
But this has nothing to do with my request. You can treat me as an ordinary guest. My manor will definitely need to do business with the blacksmith shop in the future." "Of course,
if you are not willing to tell me the answer, I will go Ask others."
Thorin shook his head. As the leader of the dwarves in Bree Town, he certainly would not refuse the business that came to him.
Although he was quite curious about Wayne's bloodline and his various magical methods including flying, out of his sense of responsibility for his fellow tribesmen, he still put down the hammer in his hand, handed it to the dwarf apprentice on the side, and faced Wayne said:
"I know all the dwarves in this town. They are all excellent craftsmen. If you are looking for a group of architects to help you build a manor, no one will be more suitable than them." "Let's go
. , I will take you to find Balin, he is a master builder among the dwarves, and he has a group of workers working with him." "
You can talk to him yourself about the specific deal!"
After saying these words, Thorin was polite to Wayne He bowed and said:
"I am Thorin Oakenshield of House Durin, the leader of the dwarves here." "
Nice to meet you, Mr. Wayne."
Wayne heard this, his face pretending He looked very surprised, then politely returned the greeting, and said:
"I am also happy to see you, His Royal Highness Prince Thorin."
"I have heard about your heroic performance when fighting the orcs. Under your leadership, the South The dwarves have lived a stable life."
"You once chopped off the arm of the orc chief Azog, and your name was passed down to the world as Oak Shield."
Hearing Wayne mention Azog and the orcs, Thorin's eyes flashed with hatred. His grandfather and father, as well as a large number of his kin, all died at the hands of the orcs. It can be said that every dwarf has a life and death relationship with the orcs. Enemies, the kind who will decide life and death when they meet.
He suppressed the anger in his heart, nodded to Wayne, and then took the initiative to walk in front of the two of them, preparing to take this mysterious stranger with him to meet Bahrain.
Wayne did not hesitate and followed Sony while admiring the scenery of Bree Town.
To be honest, the scenery in the town of Bree is quite strange. Dwarves, humans, and hobbits have three different styles of buildings built together. It is difficult to see such a harmonious scene in the wizarding world. On one street, people of different races live in harmony. Walking together, greeting each other cordially, smiling, and helping each other when encountering difficulties. Even if you see a human with pointed ears like Wayne here, not many people are surprised. In this world, as long as you are not a dark race like the orcs, generally no one will have any malicious thoughts towards you.
Thorin was silent along the way. When the dwarves on the road saw him, they would salute him respectfully. Wayne followed him, which also attracted the attention of the dwarves.
However, as a witcher, he was accustomed to all kinds of stares, so he still calmly admired the scenery of Bree Town.
Suddenly, Wayne's footsteps froze. He found a very familiar thing in a square that resembled the center of a town. It was a notice board in a crowded place.
The notice board was not far away from him. With Wayne's eyesight, he could see the huge reward posted on the notice board at a glance.
"Please wait a moment, Prince Thorin."
"I want to go to the notice board to take a look. Can I delay for a while?"
Hearing this, Thorin also turned to look at Wayne and the notice board. He knew at a glance What he wanted to see.
"Do you want to take a look at the bounty of Bisog the Black Bear?"
The dwarf prince had a pretty good temper. He was neither angry nor impatient. Instead, he and Wayne walked towards the signboard, explaining as they walked. :
"It was a huge black bear that started running rampant in the nearby forest last year." "It is
two meters tall when lying on the ground and four meters tall when standing up. It can break a small tree with one claw and bite off the enemy's thigh with one bite. Its The roar can scare the hearts of ordinary people, and it runs faster than a wild boar." "
No one knows its origins, and no one knows where its lair is?" "
From the moment this black bear was discovered, it died after it There are hunters, travelers, and woodcutters on hand, so there are almost eight people in total." "
Later, I heard that some human boys wanted to challenge it, but in the end it seemed that two died and two were disabled. Three people escaped back with their crippled companions."
"The officials in the town issued a reward, three hundred gold coins, a generous reward. It is said that part of it was collected by the families of the deceased." Listening to the request
. Following Lin's introduction, the two of them also walked to the notice board and looked at the lifelike giant bear painted on the notice board, as well as some prompt information marked below, including the amount of the reward and the location of the giant bear.
Wayne suddenly asked Thorin with interest:
"Prince Thorin, do you know who painted the black bear on the bounty?"
"His painting skills are very good, I'm afraid he just saw the horror in this portrait. Black bears can scare away some green bears!"
Hearing Wayne's slightly teasing tone, Thorin frowned, and then said:
"You don't need to call me Prince Thorin. You are not my subject. Call me Thorin. That's good."
"I remember that this painting should have been painted by a female painter in the town. I didn't pay attention to the name. It seems that one of the deceased was his brother, and part of the bounty was paid by her. "
After saying this, Thorin looked at Wayne with unclear eyes and said seriously:
"Do you want to accept this commission?"
"This black bear has rough skin and thick flesh. The human boys who escaped said that it is ordinary. The bow and arrow can barely penetrate its fur and cannot cause substantial damage to it."
"Although you look very strong and have some magical skills, if you want to challenge the black bear Bisog, you'd better think about it carefully." After hearing Thorin
's advice, Wayne nodded to him in kind and thanked him. Then he said:
"Thank you for the reminder, Thorin."
"In fact, in my hometown, what I am best at is hunting those monsters that cause trouble." "
I will take this bounty, but before that, we still Let's go meet Mr. Balin you mentioned first."
After hearing this, Thorin didn't say much, but took a deep look at Wayne and continued to lead the way.
