Chapter 151 Farewell
As soon as he entered the camp, the first thing Bilbo saw was Thorin Oakenshield, who seemed to have nothing unusual, sitting on the bed so relaxed and comfortable.

Bilbo looked at Gao Yuan suspiciously. He didn't know why Gao Yuan and Thorin Oak Shield came to him.

The war outside seemed to be coming to an end, and the alliance and the dwarves seemed to have settled down.

Could it be that he came here to settle the matter of handing over the Aken gem to the coalition forces?
Thinking of this, Bilbo still felt a little guilty, and he didn't dare to look Thorin in the eyes.His previous behavior, no matter how he explained it and what reason he had, was indeed a betrayal.

He had failed Thorin Oak Shield's trust in him, although this trust did not seem to be very strong.

Or maybe Thorin Oakenshield has figured it out and is ready to fulfill his promise?

Thorin looked up at Bilbo as Bilbo walked tremblingly to Thorin's oak shield bed.

There was no longer the anger in his eyes when the two met for the last time; nor the greed for treasure.

His eyes looked so clear to Bilbo now, clearer than the eyes of a newborn child.

It reminded Bilbo of the look in his eyes when he first saw Thorin's Oakshield at Bag End.

There is a kind of feeling like a spring breeze.

"Farewell, you snitch with great skills," Thorin Oak Shield gently placed the written will on the bedside, "I am now, about to return to the palace of my fathers to live with them, Only when the world reincarnates will I leave there."

When Bilbo heard Thorin's Oakshield's words, he had an inexplicable premonition.

"Farewell?" Bilbo turned to look at Gao Yuan with an inquiring look, "Wait, you... what do you mean?"

"This...you must be joking with me, right, what palace?" Bilbo's tone became more and more flustered, and he had already realized something.

"The palace of Mandos, Bilbo! In Middle-earth, all races except humans are at the end of their lives." Gao Yuan explained to Bilbo with a sad face.

It is the terminal station of the souls of other races after death, and the transfer station of human souls.

"It's not funny, Mr. Gaoyuan. Thorin looks like he usually does. Look at his body, it's still intact, not even a single wound." Bilbo thought Gaoyuan and Thorin were colluding We are teasing ourselves together.

"This is not a joke, my dear Snitch, Mr. Bilbo." Thorin said with a sigh. "My life has now come to an end, and even Rivendell's doctor can't do anything about my injury."

"As for my injuries..." Sorin was a little sad. This was the first time he showed a sad expression after knowing his fate.

If he could survive, who wouldn't want to? He also hoped that all of this was just a joke.

"It's Aceras grass, Bilbo, you know its effect, it can make Sorin less painful, and persist until your arrival." Gao Yuan continued to say what Sorin hadn't finished.

Bilbo was silent for a while, still having difficulty accepting the fact.

"Since I have to give up all my gold and silver and go to a place where gold and silver mean nothing, I at least hope to have your friendship back."

Sorin didn't want the relationship between the two to continue in this sad atmosphere.He also didn't want to leave this world with a sad face on his face.

He still has a lot to say next.

"I want to take back what I said and did to you on the city wall. You did what a friend should really do, and I hope you can forgive me."

Only then was Bilbo really convinced that all this was true, and he knelt down on one knee beside Thorin's bed full of sorrow: "Farewell, my friend King of the Mountain!"

"If this expedition is destined to end in this way, no matter how much wealth we gain, it cannot conceal the fact that it is a tragedy."

Bilbo began to sob as he spoke.

"No matter how much effort we have put in and how much we have gained, it is all in vain at this moment."

"However, I am glad to be entitled to this adventure, and to have been with you, Thorin Oakenshield, the great King of the Mountain."

Bilbo was a little incoherent when he said this, but Gao Yuan barely understood what he meant.

"Very few of us in the Baggins family have that qualification."

"No!" Thorin Oakshield raised his voice suddenly, "my hobbit friend from the west, don't be too modest."

"Your ambition and courage are far beyond what I can compare. In our expedition team, your wisdom and courage are not much worse than Mr. Gao Yuan's."

These words actually came from the heart of Thorin Oakenshield.

When he went out to look for Bilbo in Gaoyuan, he finally figured it out.

Why, Gao Yuan and Gandalf value this seemingly inconspicuous Hobbit so much.

In fact, they have already seen Bilbo's heart, which is full of courage and wisdom.

He regrets very much now that he has not really become a heart-to-heart friend with Bilbo since he was on this journey.

The relationship between Gao Yuan and Bilbo made Sorin Oakenshield feel envious, and he didn't cherish this sincere friendship that originally belonged to him.

Sorin sighed and continued, "If everyone in this world, like you, valued homes and food more, and despised gold and silver, then this world would not know how wonderful it is. "

"No matter what the future of this world will be, I have to leave. After I die, all this has nothing to do with me."

"Farewell! My dearest friend, my brother Snitch!"

Bilbo turned and left sadly, found a corner and sat down, and Gao Yuan wrapped him in a thick blanket.

Believe it or not, sad Bilbo wailed and cried until his eyes were swollen and his voice was hoarse.

He was a very kind and considerate man, and in fact, he didn't get over the grief until long after the incident at Lonely Mountain had passed.

That was the fact that he had been in Rivendell for a year.

"For the first time I'm so thankful for my own luck!" he said to himself.

"Fortunately, I woke up immediately. How much I hope that Sorin can continue to live, but it is very happy to let him leave without regret, even if the only thing left between us is friendship and mutual memories. things."

"You're a fool, Bilbo Baggins, for the way you mess with gems and you screw everything up."

"Even if you try so hard to buy peace and tranquility, war is inevitable. Although it can't be blamed on you."

Gao Yuan stood aside, waiting for the end of all this. Sometimes the way to stop a person from being sad is to let him vent.

Thorin Oakenshield also awaited the arrival of his dwarf brother in his irrepressible death.

Although all this has been settled, the dust has not yet settled.
