Women's Friend - Alfred

Bud is indeed in a very high mood today, because he feels that his luck has never been as good as it is now.

This time he went out, he not only harvested a lot of catches, but also met a group of dwarves.

Of course, the dwarves were not the point. The point was that they actually entrusted him to send them to the other side, and the reward was a bag of gold coins.

That is a generation of gold coins. Think about what you can do with so much money?

Should be enough to help him keep the impoverished residents of Long Lake going through the icy season.

He was happy in his heart, but thinking of the current situation of the townspeople in Changhu Town, Bud couldn't help sighing again.

Today's Changhu Town is not as developed as it was back then.

Since the dwarves attracted the dragon Smaug many years ago, the town of River Valley was destroyed by the dragon, and the economy of Changhu Town has also become worse year by year, and it has been a bit sluggish.

Many people have left this dangerous place, no one will buy fish here, and few people here will venture further afield to trade.

So, the economy here is starting to decline, it's going downhill.

And back then, what did Changhu Town look like?

Tens of thousands of buildings, wharves in front of the houses, and countless ships, how can it be as depressed as it is now?

Whenever Bud thinks of these, he feels a little heartache.

The residents of Long Lake Township shouldn't have such a hard time. It was all due to the dragon Smaug, or rather to the innumerable riches that the dwarves had stored up in the Lonely Mountain.

Money touches people's hearts, and the evil dragon is no exception. Sure enough, money is the root of all evil.

However, although Bud was heartbroken, he couldn't change anything.

The facts of the past have happened, and he is just an ordinary person.

All he can do is to do his best to help all the residents who need his help today.

Therefore, Balin was very happy to suddenly get so many gold coins from the dwarves, which made him feel very good.

However, when the boat approached Changhu Town and saw a figure from a distance, his mood suddenly became a little worse.

Alfred, that damn villain, whore, lackey of the mayor of Long Lake.

The person standing at the mouth of the waterway into the town was the villain whom Bard and all the residents of Changhu Town hated—Alfred.

"Hurry up and hide in the barrel!" Bard had no choice but to turn his head and said to the dwarves, Bilbo, and Carl.

He clearly knew the virtues of Alfred, a villain. If he knew that he would earn a lot of gold coins from these dwarves, how could the money continue to stay in his hands?

Alfred will definitely keep these things for himself, or tell the mayor about them.

In short, no matter what kind of ending it is, it is not what Bahrain wants to see.

Hearing this, the dwarves were a little puzzled, since they just entered a town, is it necessary to act like thieves?

Carl followed Bud's gaze, and saw the man standing on the pier in the distance. The man had a sarcastic look on his face, his eyes rolled around, and he didn't look like a good person.

In connection with Bud's anxious appearance, Carl could guess that Bud should have conflicts with this treacherous man in front of him.

With a sour appearance and conflicts with such a good guy as Bud, then there is only one possibility.

This man must be the mayor's deputy who committed suicide in the end—Mr. Karl was very impressed with this man, of course, not only because of his traits of being greedy for money and fearing death, but also because of his shameless but not ashamed self-righteousness.

This guy doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with all his actions.

Whether it was pretending to be a woman when the orcs invaded, trying to leave with old women and children, or filling his chest with gold coins and holding his head high when running away, he felt that he was doing the right thing.

This guy is a rare villain, a complete and pure villain.

From a certain point of view, such a person can be regarded as a strongwilled person.

So Karl was really impressed with him.

"Hurry up!" Bud's urging voice came again, "That guy is not easy to deal with. If he finds out, you may be caught and locked up in jail."

In terms of Alfred's personality, if he really knew that the dwarves were hiding gold coins, he would definitely do such a thing. In this regard, Bud will not think it is impossible.

The dwarves looked at each other and looked at Thorin.

The wooden barrel was full of fish, and it smelled really bad. Although they didn't care too much, Zhong still felt a little aggrieved.

Sorin also frowned, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but, thinking that the Lonely Mountain was right in front of him, and he had experienced so much before, it would be okay to be patient now to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Just as he was thinking about what to say, Carl suddenly said, "Bud, let's row over, I think he won't make things difficult for us."
