Chapter 38 The Meeting at Bag End.

The Hobbits living in the Shire are a branch of human beings. In Sindarin, they are called Perrians, which actually means halflings. They have no objection to this title, but they prefer to call themselves Hobbits. bit people.

The ancestors of these little guys can be traced back to ancient times, and they traveled all over half of Middle-earth before finally settling in Shire.

They like a comfortable life very much and are very proficient in farming, craftsmanship, cooking and other work.

The most commendable thing is their cooking skills.

The roast meat is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a tangy aroma; the stew is rich in ingredients and the soup is delicious; the ham is moderately thick and not greasy;

These made Alan who lived here very satisfied. He felt that only when he lived in the Green Dragon Tavern for a period of time could he truly satisfy his appetite.

For this reason, Allen often wondered if he could bring the cook here back to Wilderness Town.

It's an impossible idea, and hobbits hate accidents, don't like adventure, and especially love their homeland.

If the owner of the Green Dragon Tavern knew about this, he would definitely throw Alan out of his tavern immediately.

In order to be able to eat great dishes every day, Allen has never expressed his thoughts.

And these days, Alan and Gandalf have almost turned around here, and tonight is the time agreed between Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield.

Early this morning, Gandalf went out to do errands by himself.

Allen was not in a hurry. He stayed in the tavern alone, planning to go there at night. After all, it was very close to Bilbo Baggins' home.

In the evening, after Ellen ate his fifth meal today, he got up with a gift and walked towards Bilbo Baggins' home.

This future snitch lives in a very luxurious place, and has his own name, Bag End. It is the largest and most luxurious house in this area. Allen has passed by here many times.

At that time, Ellen could often see Bilbo sitting in front of the door smoking a cigarette, and sometimes Ellen would also talk to him.

After the two got acquainted, Bilbo was also very hospitable. He would pack a bag of cigarettes for this big man who often chatted with him, and then they smoked together and chatted.

This is a simple and very polite hobbit.

If he didn't know the plot, Alan wouldn't be able to see that this hospitable hobbit, who knows how to enjoy himself, would take part in the adventure and become the future snitch Bilbo Baggins.

By the time Allen came to the entrance of Bag End, he could already hear the sound of chaos inside. It should be that the dwarves had arrived.

Allen stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and soon, amidst bursts of complaints, Bilbo opened the door with a depressed face.

After he saw clearly that it was Alan, he wailed: "No, no, no, Alan, you came at the wrong time, although I wanted to invite you to have afternoon tea many times."

As he spoke, Bilbo looked into the lively room and continued, "But you heard it too. I really saw a ghost tonight. I don't know why. Suddenly, a lot of dwarves came. The family reunion is messed up now, Alan, please come back at another time, okay?"

Maybe seeing someone he knew, Bilbo said a lot of complaints, and Alan listened patiently.

Then Alan showed an embarrassed expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Although it's a pity, what I want to tell you is that I also have a part in this party, please accept my gift."

Allen bowed slightly to Bilbo, handed over the wine in his hand, and continued jokingly: "Then, Master Bilbo Baggins, Allen is willing to serve you."

Bilbo was stunned for a while, finally accepted Alan's gift, sighed, resigned, and said: "Bilbo is willing to serve you, please come in, Alan, at least you are not a dwarf, are you?" ?”

After entering the house, Allen tidied up and found a corner to sit down. He was full and didn't want to join the ranks of "looting" Bilbo's warehouse.

However, just as Allen sat down, the doorbell rang again.

The expression on Bilbo's simple and honest face was almost manic. He put down the wine in his hand and walked to the door again, and then a large group of dwarves followed Gandalf into Bag End.

Then, Bag End went into complete orgy.

I have to say that even in the face of such a sudden interruption, Bilbo still maintained a good upbringing, and still had time to serve Alan a pot of tea and a pipe of cigarettes.

After Ellen greeted Gandalf who just came in, he smoked a cigarette and wandered around Bag End.

Enjoy watching everything that happens here.

It's much more comfortable than being in a movie theater, it's truly immersive.

It was not until the tobacco had been smoked, the tea was drained, and the dwarves had packed everything up that Thorin Oakenshield arrived at the gate of Bag End.

It has to be said that this dwarf prince is full of aura. When he came, all the dwarves stopped making noise and watched him eat quietly until the end.

In the original book, Thorin Oakenshield came with Gandalf, and he was pushed to the bottom of the crowd by four or five dwarves, so he was not very happy at first, until Bilbo apologized for a long time, The mood is considered to ease a little.

Now, the future king of the mountain is late, actually because he is a road idiot and got lost on the way here, so his mood is still not very beautiful.

Especially when he learned that the snitch Gandalf found for him was actually a hobbit with no combat effectiveness, and that Mr. Bilbo Baggins had fainted in front of him, which made him feel even more depressed. unhappy.

Sorin Oakenshield is a proud, stubborn, responsible and charming person. He has been leading the clansmen who have lost their homes and looking for a life suitable for them. I have to say that he is relatively successful. The dwarves living in the Color Mountains respect him very much.

But as he got older, Thorin Oakenshield's demands for returning to his homeland became more and more intense. This demand also made his character more sensitive, suspicious, deep, and very arrogant and vicious.

Thorin Oakenshield attached great importance to this expedition, otherwise the commission would not have been equally distributed among his ancestral treasures.

At this time, the dwarf prince stood up, pointed to Bilbo on the ground, and pointed to Alan, and said helplessly to Gandalf: "Why can't the humans over there be my snitches? He can take part-time job as a scout."

Gandalf quietly answered Thorin's question: "Sorin, you also know that Aaron is the human leader of a large town, and his town is in the wilderness. You know what this means. If you need to fight the dragon, He'll help you too, he won't take a snitch job, and I like Bilbo better."

Allen, who was looking at the terms of the contract in the corner, didn't know that the conversation between the two could affect him.

However, Allen didn't care about this matter, but paid more attention to the content of the terms.

Of course, there is also Alan's part in this, and Gandalf will inevitably ask Thorin for a contract for Alan, otherwise, how can Alan accompany Thorin to the end?

This clause is similar to that in the plot, except that Allen's job content is to ensure that everyone can reach the Lonely Mountain safely, and assist the dwarves to enter the Lonely Mountain, and also get at least one-fifteenth of the share.

Allen thought it was okay, and signed his own name, which he still learned.

After signing, Allen got up and handed the contract to Balin, a dwarf with white beard and hair.

This old man is also a ruthless person. In the original book, the 230-year-old is going to recover Moria, which is really admirable.

Alan chatted with the old man for a few words, and after confirming that there was no problem with the contract, he walked towards Thorin Oakenshield.

Alan looked at the gloomy dwarf prince and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't you believe that Bilbo will become a successful snitch?"

With that said, Allen looked at Bilbo who was still lying on the ground, and said, "I think this hobbit will make a great snitch, even a master snitch."

Thorin Oakenshield didn't pay attention to Alan's words, he just looked at Alan, thinking about something in his mind.

Seeing that Thorin Oakenshield didn't respond to him, Allen knew that he didn't believe it, and that's right, no one would believe it.

He thought for a while, then continued with a smile, "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet."

Thorin Oakenshield finally had some reaction, and said slowly: "What's the bet? I don't even think that Master Baggins will join our expedition."

Many dwarves nearby echoed Thorin's words. Although they didn't dislike the hobbit who entertained them, this did not increase their confidence in Bilbo.

Did they think Bilbo, the good man, should live better in this comfortable house, the moor?That didn't suit the hobbit at all.

They even made a bet on whether Bilbo would participate in the expedition, and even Gandalf participated.

Allen looked at them and shook his head, and said to Thorin Oakenshield: "I don't bet on this, I think Mr. Baggins will definitely join the expedition, I will bet, one day, you will definitely change yourself to Bilbo Baggins' opinion, he will definitely get your approval, how about it, do you want to bet, Thorin Oakenshield?"

Thorin frowned. According to his temperament, he was unwilling to participate in such things as gambling.

But now he doesn't have the slightest confidence in Bilbo Baggins. On the contrary, he especially hopes that Allen can take on the responsibility of the snitch.

So Thorin Oakenshield asked back: "What about the bet? What about the time? Does it take a lifetime?"

Alan saw that Sorin agreed, smiled happily, and said: "No, no, the time is up when we reach the Lonely Mountain. The bet is to promise the other party one thing within our ability. When the time comes, you You can even ask me to be your snitch to face the dragon."

Thorin thought for a while, and agreed to Alan's bet.

At this time, someone finally remembered Master Baggins who had fainted on the ground, and hurriedly lifted him onto the reclining chair.
