Bilbo followed Sorlin and the others, openly walking out of Bard's house, preparing to receive equipment in the square in front of the mayor's mansion as Lann had instructed.
This was Bilbo's second time walking the streets of Long Lake Town; the first was when they had just disembarked from Bard's smuggling ship, stealthily heading to his home.
However, this town still didn't leave a good impression on Bilbo.
Bilbo had never visited a human town before today; Long Lake Town was very different from what he imagined in his mind.
Very...undignified.
The streets were filled with the smell of canvas soaked in fish oil, which had hung on fishing boats for years, long since rotted into an unhealthy rancid odor.
And every human here was undignified as well, wearing tattered clothes, their faces full of worry and hidden anger.
Trash was carelessly strewn on the ground, and even the pigs raised by humans weren't as cute as the pigs in Hobbiton where Bilbo lived.
