Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 64 Hobbiton
A beautiful morning in April.

Mr. Bilbo Baggins, whom we have not seen for a long time, cleaned up the kitchen counter and table as usual, walked out slowly, walked out of the round door of the house, which was painted last week, came to the bench at the door, and ordered Smoke, with his long, oversized wooden pipe, enjoying the morning sun beautifully.

The sky was blue, the ground was green, the sun was shining, the lake was clear, and everything was so beautiful that Bilbo Baggins was so comfortable that he almost wanted to lie down.

Ah, what could be more comfortable than a hobbit idyllic life.

he thought.

Back then, I must have lost my mind and went crazy to think of taking any risks.As a result, I met a group of unreasonable people-not a group, but just one.Humph, that female elf is really evil, she hurt my neck so badly, and she even scares us on purpose.

Although she is very beautiful, she is not pleasing at all.

Even though ten years have passed, Bilbo still remembers everything that happened that day, every face every time, as if he can still remember the smell of the old tree at that time, and the legends in the air. The breath of nature in the race.

particular.

A pair of majestic golden vertical pupils suddenly imprinted in his mind.

"Ah~"

He jumped up, almost unable to tell whether he was frightened or choked by the choking white smoke.Because the smoke magically turned into a butterfly and rushed into his nostrils.

When Bilbo stopped coughing, he realized that there was an old man with a cane standing in front of him.

"Good morning."

The hospitable hobbit greeted immediately reflexively.Although he always felt that the old man in front of him looked so familiar.

A blue peaked hat, a long gray cloak, a silver scarf, a long white beard that hung down to his waist, and huge black boots on his feet.

"what!"

He jumped up a second time.He recognized the wizard.

"It's you!"

Bilbo was as surprised as a frightened quail.He looked around quickly, always suspecting that a few elves would suddenly jump out from behind the old man.

"What do you mean by that?"

The wizard Gandalf just looked at him with a smile, his long eyebrows twitching, kind and funny. "Are you saying hello to me, or wishing me a good morning; or is it a good morning whether I like it or not; or are you feeling good on a morning like this; or are you simply Is it a good morning?"

It can be seen that our Mr. Bilbo was quite bewildered, and said primly, "I suppose there is all?"

Then Bilbo finally remembered that the old man in front of him had spoken to help him, that morning.

So he suddenly became bold again: "Aside from these, this is a very suitable morning for smoking a pipe outside the door. If you have a pipe with you, then you might as well sit down and fill your pipe with my tobacco leaves." Full!"

"After all, you also saved me." He said honestly, with a look of gratitude in his eyes: "I can still pay for a cigarette."

Gandalf was dumbfounded.

"I'm glad you remembered me. Although it's not the one I thought I remembered, but things finally got off to a good start." The wizard muttered, talking to himself, regardless of the other side. Foggy look.He said, "I am Gandalf! I am looking for someone to join me in my adventures, and this is a good chance if you want to repay your favor."

Instead, the words stung Bilbo as hard as a bee, and he jumped up for the third time in a fit of rage and panic.

"Adventure? No, I don't think anyone west of Bree would be interested in adventure! Especially me! You've got the wrong guy! It's a disgusting, annoying, uncomfortable thing, and dangerous! It's even Keeping you late for dinner! And lunch! And breakfast!"

"In particular, it will let you meet unreasonable female elves."

Our Mr. Baggins, speaking displeasedly, stuck a thumb behind the suspenders and exhaled a still larger smoke ring.Then he took out the letter he had received in the morning, pretended not to pay attention to the man in front of him, and began to read it.

It seems that in this way, he can express his rejection clearly and unmistakably.

But the old man didn't even move. He leaned on his stick and looked at the hobbit without saying a word, until Bilbo felt that something was wrong with him, and he was even a little unhappy!
"Yes, yes, I admit, you saved me." Bilbo was a little annoyed, but he didn't dare to explode. He said aggrievedly: "But you can't force me to do what I don't want to do just because of this." You're a good old man, I can see, you wouldn't do it! Would you?"

The wizard suddenly laughed. "If you really don't want to go, I won't force it," he said, "but don't you really think about it? You know, this ain't like the Bilbo Baggins I knew. The Bilbo Baggins I knew. Baggins is a big shot at Turca Aracano, lol."

The hobbit, who was still angry, suddenly got stuck. He looked at the old wizard suspiciously, and stammered, "Turka Arakano, what does this noble name have to do with me?"

Yes, even halflings who are as ignorant as halflings are spreading the deeds and names of the Silver King.

But it never occurred to Bilbo that the majestic king whom he had met to decide his fate was Turka Arakano.Back then he was still called Dragon Bourne.

"You do not know?"

Gandalf was a little surprised, but also a little funny: "I thought you could guess who that person was from the story behind! But that's okay."

The old wizard suddenly thought of something funny, and he immediately put on a straight face.This is the expression he often uses when playing pranks.

"Since you agree, let's make this decision! This may not be a bad thing for you, it is also very interesting for me-by the way, if this adventure is completed, you will get a very rich reward."

"Wait," said Bilbo, almost tongue-tied. "I'm sorry! I don't want any adventures, at least not today. But tea is welcome--anytime you want! Why not tomorrow! Or The day after tomorrow is fine too! Yes, it’s settled like that! Goodbye!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the hobbit turned around, stepped quickly into the round green door, and closed the door as fast as he could without appearing to be running away!Although it is really rude to treat your savior like this, but let him go!As long as it doesn't have anything to do with adventure, anything is fine!

thought Bilbo Baggins.

Meanwhile Gandalf stood outside the door, laughing long and silently.

After laughing for a while, he went to the door, and with the point of his stick he carved a strange mark on the handsome green door of the hobbit.Then he strode away.

Bilbo watched him go from behind the bright glass window, and he was relieved.And start to feel like I've dodged the adventure.

But he didn't know, how could he, a hobbit, refuse the fate that even the dragonborn couldn't shirk?
the next day.

Bilbo spent a long day almost in fear, so anxious that he rushed to the window every few minutes to look out, lest he suddenly see some unwanted figures at the end of the road.

It wasn't until night fell, when the quiet and peaceful Hobbiton house started to light up, and everyone began to eat dinner, that Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief.

Maybe the adventure or something was just a joke.A bad joke.

The hobbit consoled himself thus.Then excitedly start making dinner.

For this race, dinner is an extremely important ritual.They'll even eat two dinners if they can.

When he carefully cooked a fresh fish, served with a small piece of bacon and mashed potatoes, a sumptuous dinner was complete.

"Although today is not very good, the ending is still good."

Bilbo quickly adjusted his mentality, began to tie the scarf, and sprinkled pepper and lemon juice.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

An ominous premonition flooded my mind instantly.

Bilbo tore off his scarf indiscriminately, and ran to open the door in a panic.But it turns out that the person standing in front of him is not Gandalf at all.It was a dwarf, with a blue beard tucked into a golden belt, and a pair of bright eyes under a dark green hood.

As soon as the door was opened, he broke in, as if the master had been waiting for him for a long time.He hung the cloak with the hood on the nearest coat hook, and said, "Duvalin is willing to serve you!" He bowed slightly as he spoke.

Bilbo was very surprised. He reflexively said, "Bilbo Baggins is willing to help you!"

Then he realized, "Do I know you?"

"Do not."

The familiar dwarf warrior looked Bilbo up and down and shook his head: "I don't think so. But he said, you have dinner here, and it's very rich."

As he spoke, he broke into the hobbit's house on his own.

"Who? Who said?"

Bilbo hardly knew what to do, he wanted to get the guests out, but he was afraid of the dwarf's strong body--for the hobbit.

I could only feel aggrieved, and curiously asked the stranger.

But Duvalin didn't care about him, anyway, all this was the wizard's idea, and he was just following his orders, so he couldn't do anything, so he walked to the kitchen smelling the smell, and sat down on the seat where Bilbo was sitting before. position.

We all know what happened next.

jingle.

jingle.

The doorbell rang again and again, and the dwarves appeared one by one, making Bilbo flush with anger.

"I'm a hospitable hobbit myself, but I hope my guests know each other!"

"Go away! Fuck somebody, I've got too many dwarves in my living room already! If... I mean, if this is some stupid prank, then it's a very bad idea!"

Then, after Bilbo had finished speaking, the last wave of dwarves ushered in.They are Dory, Norrie, Ori, Oin, and Groin, and Beaver, Bofur, and Bumber.

Bilbo even wanted to laugh a little when the dwarves fell on his doorstep in a stacked posture.

But soon he scowled again as he saw the mastermind behind the prank.

"Gandalf?"

"Good evening." Outside the door, the old man who met yesterday morning bent down and looked in through the round door with a smile. "Afternoon tea may be late, but I think it's time for supper, don't you think? Bilbo Baggins."

Mr. Baggins felt that his mind was in a mess, and he might even be thinking that it would be better to just let the female elf kill him, and it would be over once and for all.

"You rushed in with these dwarves in such a mindless way, and brought so much trouble to people!" He said with a droopy head, "Is this what you mean by adventure?"

"No, dear Bilbo."

The wizard came in through the round door stooping, then stood up carefully so as not to hit his head on the hobbit's chandelier, and said: "This is where we are, our adventure has not yet begun, and the people have not arrived yet." together."
