I'm In Middle-Earth: Going To Slay A Dragon At The Start

Chapter 31 Request (three shifts, please evaluate!)

Night gradually fell, and after eating and drinking, the crowd picked a corner and started snoring.

Halfway through the night, the cool breeze from the distant mountain breeze caressed the small village, but it made it look extra peaceful.

…

“Ah—” Suddenly there was a scream, breaking the quiet night sky.

“Bang bang bang!” The lights in the village began to light up.

Then, there were constant footsteps and a commotion outside the house.

Sorin and the others were woken up and opened their eyes, full of doubts.

what happened?

With suspicion, they all took up their weapons and walked out of the door slowly.

After they went out, they found that there was a large group of people in front of a house not far from them. They were all wearing sackcloth, old or young, all standing there.

“What happened?” Seeing this scene, everyone was puzzled.

As I approached slowly, I gradually heard the chatter coming from the crowd of onlookers.

“This is too cruel.”

“Poor Briers, it’s so unfortunate.”

“Hey~ I saw their family go into the woods to pick fresh fruit this morning, but I didn’t expect it, alas.”

“What kind of monster is at work? Did Captain Rogge still not catch it?”

“When Captain Rogge came, it was already like this. You know, this is the third time this month.”

“Can’t we just move from here?”

“…”

Everyone was talking a lot, they were all lamenting, they were all sad, and their anger was inexplicably heavy.

“I’m sorry, what happened?”

In the interrogation room, the dwarves also squeezed through the crowd, but they also saw what happened in the house.

The two figures were lying on the ground, having lost their breath.

Their limbs were twisted, and their faces were full of horror, as if they had suffered huge torture and abuse before their death.

And those blood spilled all over the room, and there was a strong smell of blood from the narrow house.

This is the body of two villagers.

This is… a tragedy, and it just happened.

Seeing the dwarves appear, the man who brought them today, Captain Rogge, came over.

Now his face is a little ugly, his brows are wrinkled, and the look of unease is completely on his face.

Rogge looked at the shivering figures of his villagers hugging each other, as well as the faint worry and fear.

He suddenly felt that he maybe… really didn’t have the ability to deal with the trouble that had befallen their village.

Thinking about it, he looked at the dwarves in front of him and felt a little dazed.

Then, in a daze, I glimpsed the weapons they were carrying around their waists, but a thought suddenly flashed in my heart, and then my spirit was shocked, followed by a flash of joy in my eyes.

Yes, the manpower in their village is not enough, so they can ask these foreign dwarves to help.

Ask them to help him deal with the murderers, monsters, who have come and gone without a trace, until now he still can’t catch their shadows.

…

The dwarves were invited to Captain Rogge’s house, and the grim-faced Captain Rogge changed his attitude of keeping no strangers in during the day, and added tea cloth seats for everyone.

Seeing this attitude, Dwarf Groin felt very comfortable. Everyone was also confused by Rogge.

However, after listening to what he said, I understood what happened.

The village is called Dasen Village. The residents have lived here for ten years. They peacefully cultivated, hunted, and fished, and slowly developed, and finally formed the small village they are today.

Everything should continue like this, but since a month ago, bad things have happened in the village.

People started to be killed and children started to disappear.

When the villagers first saw this scene, they were very frightened, so the village selected a few strong men, led by Captain Rogge, to find out what was threatening their safety.

However, in the following month, there were still many murders in a row, and several children were taken into captivity.

They found nothing.

They failed to resist the erosion of this force, and failed to save the lives of innocent villagers from it.

So it makes them more vigilant and stricter about all foreign things. That’s why they treated Thorin like this yesterday.

They even sent people to take turns on duty all night, patrolling.

But even so, tonight, tragedy struck again. This proves… what they did, seemed to be in vain.

…

Captain Rogge said, his eyes were full of sadness.

At the end, he finally opened his mouth and said his request, looking a little excited, and said with a trembling voice:

“So, I have a request, please help us deal with the murderer, please do justice for those poor souls, and those children.”

After all, he seemed to find that he was too excited and a little immodest, so he closed his voice and continued:

“I can’t think of any other way. If you are willing to help me, I am willing to pay any price for this.”

Seeing Rogge, who had a determined look and then was miserable, the last trace of everyone’s emotions towards him dissipated.

It turned out that what he did was for those villagers.

“Don’t worry.” Groin jumped out and patted him on the shoulder, “Although your request is a bit sudden, we won’t stand idly by.”

Sorin also nodded slightly, the responsibility of the person in front of him was similar to his, which made him feel good, he said:

“Although we have to hurry, the time is limited, but your performance surprised me, so… I decided to stay for a day.”

Gandalf and Bilbo naturally disliked the suffering and slaughter of people, and agreed.

Although Carl was looking forward to the Evil Dragon of the Lonely Mountain, it wasn’t a bad day. Seeing that everyone agreed, he didn’t say anything more.

Everyone reached a friendly agreement, and they all gave up the prejudice they had created before.

…

Captain Rogge was delighted, and happily introduced Sorin and others to the villagers.

He told the villagers that they had the help of heroic dwarves.

And assure them that the bad news that is coming will soon be resolved.

However, the villagers were still worried.

Because the combination of dwarves in front of them is indeed uneasy.

In this strange combination, except for the tall and handsome man and the mighty and majestic man, the rest of the team looked either thin and short, or old, weak and sick (special).

They looked like a group of rogue soldiers who were casually caught from that mountain. They were rambunctious and irregular. They had neither uniforms nor good looks.

It looks like… a rude, untrustworthy mercenary group.

And can such a worrying team really help them solve this disaster that has plagued them for a long time?

The villagers expressed doubts about the strength of the dwarves, and expressed concern that they would be willing to do their best.

ps: The grades are average, and I have to be criticized. I am a little speechless. *
