"No." The archer said coldly.

Bahrain was slightly stunned and hurriedly said, "We can pay the ship fee, each of us has 10 gold coins!"

The archer's eyes moved quickly. He was not a greedy person, but 10 gold coins were indeed very tempting.

After all, there are 13 dwarves, plus the Hobbit Bilbo and the 5 people from the Snow Emperor team, so the total number is 19.

19 people are equivalent to 190 gold coins!

Judging from the archer's outfit, even if he worked hard for a whole year, he would not be able to earn 190 gold coins.

However, he just hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Although this money is a lot, it is not worth my risk. If you want to enter Changhu Town, you need normal clearance procedures, or you can find a smuggler to bring you in."

As he said that, the archer was about to turn around and leave.

Bahrain quickly said, "Don't leave, we can... pay a little more now. How about 200 gold coins in total?"

The archer sneered, "My dwarf men, you are so generous. But I'm very surprised. You said you are merchants, but you don't even have goods. Why do you want to enter Changhu Town? And, don't you know, Changhu Town does not welcome dwarfs?"

Bahrain said with a blushing face: "Because the jungle is too dangerous, we want to find a place to rest and avoid shelter. Good-minded people, just treat it as helping us. If you leave us in this place, it won't take long for the orcs and wolf cavalry to catch up with us."

The archer said loudly: "There are no orc wolf cavalry here."

Bahrain quickly said, "Some, some, look at the wound on our friend's leg, which was injured by the poisonous arrows of the orc wolf cavalry."

Then your archer glanced at Qili, and the bow and arrow in your hand also relaxed slightly.

But he still said, "Sorry, I can't help you. Changhu Town is not allowed to enter, and I don't like dwarves either."

Bahrain quickly said, "You don't have to like us. As long as you are willing to help us, we will pay you enough gold coins! Think about it, friends, help us this time, enough for you and your family to live for a whole year!"

The archer did not respond, but jumped to him on the boat and untied the cables and prepared to leave.

Bahrain said anxiously: "We are willing to pay double the price! 400 gold coins! How about it?"

The archer's body was obviously shocked.

To be honest, so many gold coins are really exciting.

While the archer was still thinking about it, Xu Feng came over from a distance.

The archer immediately grabbed the bow and arrow in his hand and stared at Xu Feng with vigilance.

Xu Feng smiled faintly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not an enemy."

The archer said coldly: "It's hard to say, after all, you stand with the dwarves."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "That's because we have a mercenary agreement with them, and we must protect their safety."

The archer smiled coldly and said, "Haha, this is really interesting. You have to spend 400 gold coins to Changhu Town for merchants who have no goods and bring 5 human mercenaries? If I were such a businessman, I would have lost all my money long ago."

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "The brain circuits of dwarves cannot be understood with normal thinking."

The archer thought for a while, "What you said is the same."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "My friend hasn't asked you for your surname and name?"

The archer paused, and then said, "My name is Bud."

Xu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

The archer Bud of Changhu Town!

His ancestor was the first mayor of Changhu Town, and he was also the one who had injured Smaug!

The magic dragon Smaug is covered with magic-level scales. This scale can make Smaug immune to almost any damage, including physical damage and magic damage. Therefore, Smaug is almost invincible.

However, Bud's ancestors used a special elf black arrow to shoot a scale in Smaug's heart!

That also became Smaug's only weakness!

But unfortunately, Bard's ancestors only shot a scale and did not really hurt Smaug, which became an eternal regret for the Bard family.

The Bad family has been lords of Changhu Town for generations. However, 50 years ago, that is, Grandpa Bud's generation, the Gushan dwarf soldiers were approaching, and Grandpa Bud committed suicide as the mayor of the town, and the Bad family also lost the power to hereditary mayor of Changhu Town.

The new mayor of Changhu Town was elected.

The mayor elected in the first generation was quite good, and Changhu Town has also been fully developed.

However, when the second generation elected the mayor, the election completely changed. People continued to use despicable means to attack the mayor's position, and Changhu Town began to become turbulent.

When he was the third generation mayor, he first promised to give the people many preferential welfare conditions, but when he came to power, none of these preferential conditions were implemented, but instead he increased taxes more and prohibited different voices, and even did not allow others to enter Changhu Town.

Election is just a political situation, and it is just a trick to rule the people. People with truly talented people cannot use this conspiracy, but they cannot be elected. After those who can use this conspiracy come to power, they will not be able to manage Changhu Town at all, and they will not care about the interests of the people.

Therefore, although Changhu Town has unique lake resources, the gap between the rich and the poor has further widened in recent decades, and the people at the bottom are suffering.

I really didn't expect that the archer in front of me was the descendant of the Lord of Changhu Town. He should have become the mayor, but unfortunately, he no longer had the power to inherit and could only be a poor boatman.

Seeing Xu Feng a little surprised, Bud couldn't help asking, "What? Do you know me?"

Xu Feng quickly smiled and said, "No, I just know the name of your ancestors, the Dragon Slaying Warrior."

Bard smiled bitterly: "No, my ancestors never recognized this title, because he did not kill Smaug. He only shot a piece of Smaug's scale. Smaug was angry because of this. His anger destroyed the town we used to live in and slaughtered half of the residents of the town. My ancestors had been resentful about this and finally ended with hatred."

Xu Feng smiled and said, "No matter what, you are the descendants of heroes. Let's do this, Bud, we will give 1,000 gold coins, please help us pass through Changhu Town."

"1,000 gold coins!" Before Bud could speak, Groyin next to him screamed.

The dwarves are greedy by nature. So far this expedition, they have not earned a penny, but now they have to take out 1,000 gold coins as travel expenses!

Of course they were a little reluctant.

Xu Feng said coldly: "Either you stay here and wait for the orc wolf cavalry to chase you, or you can take out 1,000 gold coins to leave here, you can choose your own choice."
