Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 143 Frodo Baggins
Frodo Baggins was born on September 1368, 9 in the Shire calendar.His father was the respectable Drogo Baggins, and his mother was Primula Brandybuck.

Frodo lived in Brandyhall until the age of 12, where he was raised by his mother's people.Until Bilbo Baggins was 99 years old, he adopted Frodo as his heir and brought him back to live with him in Bag End, Hobbiton.

Frodo liked this "weird" uncle who was born on the same day as himself - Bilbo would teach him to read, tell him all kinds of old legends and stories, and even give him a word or two of Elvish.So Frodo lived happily with his uncle Bilbo for many years.

It was also at that time that Frodo met the King of the North and the wizard Gandalf.

But unlike the kind and kind wizard, Frodo, to a certain extent, was more in awe and curiosity about the prestigious silver king.

Every time, when the majestic and majestic big man came to the Shire, came to Bag End, and reunited with his uncle Bilbo, Frodo played more of the role of spectator and junior.

Frodo had also heard much about Bilbo's adventures many years ago.But he really couldn't equate the big man who was almost famous in Middle-earth with the "old friend" who talked and laughed happily with his uncle Bilbo.

Even Turka Aracano greeted him with a smile every time.

In fact, every time Turka came to Shire to reunite with Bilbo, Frodo would hide far behind the door, even in the shadow of the cabinet, carefully watching the legendary King of the North and his own... Uncle talks and recalls the past and imagines the future.

He would also curiously ask uncle after he left.

And every time, Uncle Bilbo would say to him with a smile: "Frodo, Lord Turka is a friend of Baggins at Bag End. You don't have to be so shy. If you are really curious, you can be more generous next time." asked him.

Each time, Frodo told himself, next time, next time he would be more courageous.

But each time, Frodo became submissive again when the great man came.

As if he were a Gamgee and not a Brandybuck or a Baggins.

Maybe it was because of those eyes of his.

Frodo said so to himself.The iconic vertical pupils of the silver king are so majestic. When Frodo was young, when he saw Turka Arakano for the first time, Frodo was frightened and cried on the spot—Little Hobbit It is unimaginable that a person actually has the eyes of a giant dragon.

He still had lingering fears about it until he was an adult.

It was also from that time that Frodo became more attached to the kind-hearted wizard than to the majestic King of the North.

So Frodo seemed very happy to see the wizard again after three months—uncle Bilbo was celebrating his 111th birthday, and he was just coming of age.All of Hobbiton was in some sort of revelry.A lot of people were invited, and a lot of people came uninvited.

But whoever it was, there was a grand reception that night.

Among them are the wizard and Bahrain who met unexpectedly.

In addition, after the evening banquet, the silver king also took advantage of the night to come to Baggins's house in Bag End to celebrate his old friend's birthday.So Frodo was particularly impressed.

"What distracted you, Gandalf." Young Frodo looked at him strangely, his blue eyes showing the agility and liveliness that should be expected at his age, "I thought you would go a long way this time. Time, just like you used to!"

"Ah? Ah."

The wizard said with a smile: "Because I suddenly remembered an important thing in the middle of the walk, so I turned around and came back."

"Is it because of the fact that the King of the North led the army to go to war?" The young hobbit showed an expression that he thought he had seen through a lot of things, and said happily: "People in the Ivy Tavern on the waterside road are all telling, Anu Minas sent a full 20 thousand! There are elves and dwarves! And the enemy is the orcs in the mountains! Er... Are there any orcs in Middle-earth? I thought they were all gone."

Seeing that young people now regard the evil race that once threatened the entire Middle Continent as a legend, Gandalf and Bilbo even felt that young people still suffered less beatings.

"That's not funny." Bilbo was still the same as he was all those years ago.This has almost become an anecdote that the whole Hobbiton and even Shire are talking about.Many people praised him for his 'beautiful appearance' or even 'youthlessness', but secretly, many people also think that this is not a good thing.

"It's unnatural," they said, "and it's not fair. Old Baggins has more happiness than any hobbit, with eternal youth and wealth! There's a price to pay for that!"

Frodo had always thought, though, that it was only the jealousy of the men.For Bilbo had always been generous and well connected, and he was the greatest hobbit he had ever known.That's why those people disliked him so much-the most disgusting of them was the Sackville Baggins family.For they were always thinking of inheriting the riches in Bilbo's burrow.But Bilbo's longevity and the appearance of a new heir made their plan come to nothing.

"You have never experienced being attacked by orcs and wolves; you have not seen their disgusting mouth drooling, greedy eyes, fangs and claws, and scimitars; you have not seen countless lives being trampled by them, many people lost A tragic scene in life."

Bilbo looked at his nephew with an unprecedented seriousness: "But I have seen it! You don't know the world, and think that the safety and tranquility outside are falling from the sky! But the truth is, Frodo, the legends you think are not only The few cold words in the book! Every word and every sentence in the book was written by someone else with their living life and blood!"

The young man was a little embarrassed and a little overwhelmed.He squirmed his lips and said, "Then, I hope such legends never befall the Shire. Yes, that's it."

As he said that, he ran out of the house in shame, just like those children who have been criticized by their parents.

"You were too hard on him," said Gandalf. "Frodo is a good boy, and perhaps you should be more patient."

Bilbo froze for a moment, as if he had just recovered from running away angry at his nephew.

"I, I'm actually... yes, he's a good boy." He sat down on the chair discouraged, and said distressedly: "Maybe I'm not a good guardian. Maybe... I mean: I shouldn't adopt him , I can't even take care of myself..."

Bilbo's fingers moved unconsciously to the pocket of his jacket, caressing the gold ring.

Yes, different from the original history.

Bilbo, who was supposed to have set off for Rivendell, was still in Hobbiton, and he hadn't used his ring at the 111th birthday dinner.Therefore, even though the wizard had doubts, he was still not sure that what his old friend possessed was the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

"You've done well, Bilbo. But sometimes, you're too sensitive." The wizard narrowed his eyes, as if trying to see through. "For example: Don't you think, is there anything you want to say to me?"

"What?" Bilbo became vigilant. He gripped the treasure in his pocket tightly, and his voice was so stiff that he couldn't believe it: "I don't understand what you say, Gandalf!"

"Don't take me for a fool! The one who does this is a fool!" The wizard only felt a disturbing darkness coming from his old friend, which was so familiar that he couldn't help cursing himself for being stupid, The fact is so obvious, why have I been turning a blind eye to it all these years?
He couldn't help saying aloud: "It is not a hobbit's lot to be young forever! Bilbo, what have you got in your pocket?"

"Don't you ask me that question!" Bilbo nearly jumped up, and shouted hoarsely, "What's in my pocket is my freedom!"

No one knows where the hobbit got the courage to look at the wizard and even resist, but he said angrily with a hint of grievance: "Your tone seems like I did something wrong, but in fact, I just entertained you , Gandalf!"

The wizard's momentum languished, his tone softened again, and his eyes showed deep worry, "I just care about you, old friend. Don't you believe me?" He said, "And so is Lord Turka, He asked me to come and live with you in the Shire during this time, do you understand? We are all worried about you."

Bilbo froze for a moment, and there was a twinkle of struggle and doubt in his eyes.A voice kept whispering in his heart, like the whisper of a devil.

Don't trust the wizard, he is lying to you!He wants to grab something from your pocket!

our baby!
But at last Bilbo let go of the ring, and took his hand out of his pocket.

He said: "Master Turka asked you to come? How?"

The wizard kept staring into his eyes until Qingming returned to his old friend, and Gandalf couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

He said: "Bilbo, my friend. Do you think the peace and quiet these years in the Shire, the home of the Hobbits, have really been only because all the bad men in the world have died? No, Bilbo, in the place you don't know In this place, the spies and rangers from the north have been secretly guarding the roads to the south, and they have isolated all malice and evil from the outside world. This is how Shire has enjoyed peace for decades..."

Bilbo opened his mouth, hearing such secrets for the first time.The evil in his heart was temporarily overshadowed by curiosity. "Is this all true? Gandalf. Lord Turka has been secretly protecting Shire, protecting..."

"Protecting you? Yes." The wizard said with emotion: "Lord Turka has paid more than many people imagined! Many people misunderstood him, including me!"

"But now, Bilbo, even Lord Turka is worried, the evil has grown beyond our imagination and prediction! That's why he asked me to protect you." There was a trace of tenderness in the wizard's voice, and a trace of Worried, he said: "If you have anything to tell me, please do so now! I know, there has always been a little secret between you and Lord Turka, an amazing secret!"
