Marvel’s Princess Chapter 441: Changhu Town
Bella can now reach the Eye of Agamotto and get the Time Stone, but she is very hesitant.
With the Time Stone in hand, there is no problem at all in killing Smaug, but what’s the cost?
"Smaug, I'm here to negotiate terms!" It sounds easy to say this, but all the gifts of fate have already been secretly marked with a price.
She didn't know what the consequences of her actions would be.
Bella seemed to see Gu Yi chuckle at her, and seemed to see Gu Yi saying to her, "No one is forcing you, Miss Bella, this is your own choice." ’
Fatty Wang didn't rush her, just stood aside and waited.
Bella thought for a long time but couldn't make up her mind. She turned around and asked Fatty Wang: "Isn't this for me?"
The other party looked at her in surprise: "What are you talking about? This is Kama Taj's treasure! How could I give it to you! Delusion!"
Bella breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay, okay: "Then I'll feel relieved."
She stepped forward, gently took the Eye of Agamotto, and then hung it around her neck with some solemnity.
Bella crossed her hands on her chest, made a magic spell, and closed the protection on the Eye of Agamotto, and the light green brilliance disappeared.
She is not a newbie. With her own psychic powers, she can already initially control the flow of time.
But it is precisely because of understanding that she can appreciate the power of the Time Stone. With this stone in hand, she is almost invincible. There are too many ways and means to choose from to deal with Smaug, a mere evil dragon.
“Thank you, I will return it as soon as possible.”
......
Gushan is named Gushan because there are not many mountains around it and it is so lonely.
During the Irube Kingdom, the valley town at the foot of Gushan Mountain was an important transportation hub connecting the east and the west.
The ores of the dwarves, the exquisite weapons, clothing and crafts made by the elves, as well as many of the food and daily necessities of humans are transported to all parts of the world through River Valley Town, either to the west or south.
This place was once known as the Pearl of the North. River Valley Town, River Valley City, and Dale Town were all named here.
South of Lonely Mountain is Riverdale Town, and to the south of Riverdale Town is Long Lake. When Riverdale Town was burned to ruins by the evil dragon Smaug, many survivors and some travelers from north to south established a gathering place by the lake. Over time, this place developed into a small town, Changhu Town.
Chang Lake is an elliptical branch, long from north to south and narrow from east to west. The snow water on the isolated mountain melted to form Long Lake. White mist floats on the lake all year round, and there are large ice floes in the water.
With the loss of Gushan, Changhu Town does not have the iron tools, gold and silver products provided by the dwarves, and its attractiveness to merchants has been greatly reduced. Even if the elves are still doing business with humans, the income level and living conditions of the residents of Changhu Town have been greatly reduced. It is still falling at a speed visible to the naked eye. The former Pearl of the North now seems to be just an ordinary lakeside town.
With the fish and shrimp in the lake, the townspeople did not starve to death, but it would be nonsense to say how wealthy they were.
"Open the door, open the door, a businessman is coming!" Several gatekeepers were dressed in rags, and their tone was as if a fat sheep was coming.
A slightly weird and gloomy-looking three-masted sailboat appeared in front of several soldiers. They stood on both sides and looked at it. They could only see a woman in a white robe standing on the bow of the ship. This woman could be it's beautiful! Several soldiers were stunned. Not to mention the ordinary women in the town, not even the mayor's wife had such good skin and temperament.
Their sluggishness lasted for more than ten seconds, and then they returned to normal. No matter how beautiful they are, they are not as useful as money.
There are ice floes on the lake, and the temperature in Changhu Town is very low. Even if you have some thoughts in your mind, you will be quickly enveloped by the cold.
A few soldiers shouted loudly: "Stop the ship and inspect the cargo! Are there any documents? No? Then pay the tax, the city entry tax!"
A short man wearing a black cotton coat, with his head slightly protruding because of his stoop, shouted loudly from the side: "According to the order of the great mayor, all merchants should pay 30% of the goods as commercial tax. This is the mayor’s reward for protecting the townspeople and you despicable businessmen for a long time!”
"Thirty percent of the goods are treated as commercial tax?" Bella was laughed out of anger. The shameless faces of these people were simply undisguised. No wonder the town is getting more and more dilapidated. If 30% of the goods are collected as commercial tax, which businessman would dare to do this? Passed by here.
The hunchbacked man was not impressed by her appearance at all. At this time, he stared at a pair of dead fish eyes. Even looking up from the bottom did not hinder his arrogance: "Yes! This is the sanctity of the mayor. Right! Your boat looks pretty good, I’ll buy it and you go over there to go through the formalities..."
He pointed at Bella, but before he finished speaking, Snake-Eye Baiqiu raised the iron cannon thicker than an ordinary person's thigh and fired it. The hunchbacked man's hat was blown off, and his scalp was also attached. A chunk fell off.
"Ah! -! They are the enemy, they are the enemy! Attack, attack!" He panicked and commanded several soldiers around him to fight back, but after Jason and A Lin joined the battle, those ordinary soldiers did not attack at all. The slightest bit of strength to fight back.
Bella slowly got off the boat. Legally speaking, this land and the people and things on it were given to her by Thorin, so there is no need to be polite.
They are just a few rural bullies, there is absolutely no need to give face.
She holds a staff in her right hand, a fencing sword hanging on her waist, and the Eye of Agamotto on her neck. The water vapor on the lake automatically adheres to her dress. As she steps, white The ice crystals on the long skirt also emitted bursts of fluorescence.
Wearing a hockey mask, Jason held the hunchbacked man with one hand, like a giant carrying a baby. He followed Bella and walked slowly toward the center of the town.
The Snake Eyes clan lined up on both sides, following quietly behind the team.
"Uh... won't you go with me?" Bilbo Baggins asked Alin beside him. The sword master of the aquatic village pulled the shamisen twice. The hobbit could only shake his head and said, I went to write my own travel diary.
“Enemy attack! Enemy attack!”
“Ah! My leg is broken!”
"Sound the alarm! Report to the mayor..."
“Ah! I surrender, I surrender, don’t kill me!”
There are probably more than 3,000 residents in Changhu Town, less than 4,000. The touba mayor here also knows that he is unpopular, so the size of the guard is very large. Bella and the others walked through and defeated more than 10,000 soldiers. Two hundred. Finally, when I saw the mayor in the center of the town, there were more than a hundred soldiers beside him.
"Mayor, save me! Save me!" The hunchbacked and greedy man in black kept calling for help.
"Elfred? This is a rebellion! Hurry! You guys go and rescue Alfred! Then kill all these lowly idiots who are making trouble!"
The mayor saw his cronies in trouble, and he was somewhat sympathetic. He raised his voice and asked his soldiers to attack.
