As soon as Zhang Chu's words fell, the other three couldn't help but widen their eyes, and Sun Ruiqi even took a step back and suffered a blow of 10,000 points!

Housing prices in Yanjing are astronomical, and many people can't afford to buy a house here after working hard all their lives.

Although they don't know what the price of a courtyard house is, it will never fall below nine figures!

"Did you really buy this?"

"Yes, it's not rented, it's not borrowed, it's what I bought. Zhang Chu pointed to the stone table over there, "Come over and drink some tea, this is a Longjing given by someone else, I don't think I can make any difference in drinking." ”

An Mi carefully looked at Zhang Chu's house, "Tut, when did you buy it?" I guess I have to start working from the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty to buy a set here." ”

"The house is just for living. I originally wanted to buy a villa, but most of the villas are a little far from the city, and I just fell in love with this kind of single-family courtyard when I came to visit "Farewell My Concubine" that day, and it was very good to be quiet in a big city like Yanjing!"

It can be bought and lived, and it is still an investment that will not depreciate, which is quite cost-effective.

Zhang Chu looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock, but Zhou Kang and Ye Shumei hadn't come over yet, and he didn't plan to continue waiting, let them read the book first.

"Come, take this first. ”

He pulled out a stack of colorful papers from his bag.

Anmi took it and took a look, only to realize that it was a map!

"I said big brother. If you read a book, you can read a book, what are you going to do with this map?"

Although he was complaining, he still checked it carefully.

Yang Ling's mind was more delicate, and he quickly matched this complete version of the map with the general outline that Zhang Chu drew on the napkin when they were eating before, "This should be the map in "The Lord of the Rings", right, Middle-earth? ”

The big country, the small bridges, the ferries are marked.

What Charles, Hobbiton, Amunsur, Spirits Bridge, that misty mountain range that runs north and south, and what Rohan, Gondor, Mordor, Romanian, this seems to be a new fantasy world indeed!

It's just that this is supposed to be just a corner of that world, and the entire map only draws the western part of the continent, and it seems that there is still a large area of land on the eastern side.

The first time Anmi encountered this situation, he sent a map before reading the book, and he smiled and said to the other people, "What is this map for?

Zhang Chu took a stack of bound A4 paper and said: "There is this meaning, anyway, you should need it at that time, just have a more intuitive impression." ”

"Don't be busy, I'll wash my hands and wait for me. ”

"You just go and burn incense and bathe. Zhang Chu joked, he put these thick books on the stone table, and said to Yang Ling and the others: "You can watch it as you like, you can read it wherever you want, and you can read it wherever you want, just at your own home." ”

Although it is a bit strange to look at the tea ceremony of the West with ancient China, he pays attention to a casual one, and he can come as comfortable as he wants.

I don't know where Matcha has gone at this time, but now that the courtyard has become larger, its playground has also become much larger.

After Yang Ling calmed down, he turned the pages of the book, only to see the word "Lord of the Rings" standing directly above the document, which was very conspicuous!

Before the text was a small poem, the information revealed in it made Yang Ling unable to crack it for a while, so he could only briefly guess it.

The meaning is actually not too difficult, that is, the elves, dwarves and humans have cast 3, 7, and 9 rings, and there will probably be changes in this place of Mordor.

When he was looking at the map just now, Yang Ling had seen the location of Mordor, which was probably in the southeast direction of the entire map.

While different races have forged these rings, there is also one One Ring that was secretly forged by the Demon King.

"Since the name is called the Lord of the Rings, it must have something to do with this ring, right?"

Yang Ling thought briefly in his mind.

It's a self-explanatory thing!

Originally, he thought that there was only one ring, but he didn't expect that there were so many elves, dwarves and humans.

For the particularity of the protagonist, it is estimated that it is the Supreme Ring.

What kind of function or magic does this One Ring have?

With such doubts, Yang Ling continued to read.

[When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of the Bag Bottom Pit announced that he would soon be hosting a grand banquet for his 111th birthday, the entire Hobbiton residents were excited. 】

When Yang Ling saw this, the whole person was stunned.

"Don't tell me, this hundred-year-old Bill Expo is the protagonist, that's too old, right?" Yang Ling touched the lower right corner of the paper with his hand, "Maybe the first effect of this Supreme Ring is to rejuvenate!"

However, he didn't make any presumptuous remarks, there are often many magical races in fantasy, and their lifespans will be very long.

Maybe the 111-year-old is just an adult!

However, when he continued to read, he vaguely felt that this Bilbo Baggins was very unusual.

It is true that he is an old man, but this man has a lot of great wealth brought back from his adventures, and he seems to be a legend in Hobbiton and even the Shire region.

At the age of ninety, he looked like he was fifty, and time didn't seem to leave any mark on him.

If it's not a racial talent, it's definitely an adventure!

A person can sit on the legendary mountain of gold, and at the same time have the ability to live forever.

Isn't this the protagonist's life?

What's more, this old man is still a maverick, and he is not an ordinary supporting role at first glance.

It's just that Yang Ling is curious, who is this hobbit, how does it feel like to live in a cave, this is not a cave!

Zhang Chu did not write the prequel to "The Lord of the Rings", so the setting about the hobbit can only be slowly discovered in the text.

Reading carefully for several pages, it turns out that it is all about Bilbo Baggins.

This strengthened Yang Ling's view!

If the content that follows is not the adventure of a centenarian who left home, it must be a reminiscence of the fantastical life of Bilbo Baggins in his youth.

"Sure enough!"

An old man who came by car turned out to be a wizard.

Under normal circumstances, how could ordinary people intersect with wizards and become good friends?

The description of this wizard named Gandalf was very similar to what Yang Ling had imagined in his mind, and it seemed that the wizard should be Zhang Chu who depicted it like this!

He wears a tall pointed blue hat, a long gray robe, and a silver scarf, and a long white beard with eyebrows that extend out of the brim.

To put it simply, there is a kind of image of a wise master!

As the title suggests, this is the long-awaited banquet.

And when Bilbo Baggins finished his birthday greeting, the whole person suddenly disappeared!

The Lord of the Rings also officially appeared in front of readers.

"Uh-huh, I wrote it down, the Lord of the Rings has a stealth function. ”

When Bilbo and Gandalf confronted each other, Yang Ling noticed something wrong between the lines.

Is the old hobbit teasing the wizard?

How did he leave the ring to his nephew Frodo, but it always ended up being in his hand.

For this ring, the two old friends quarreled with each other.

Under the hint of Zhang Chu's words, Yang Ling instantly understood that this magic ring could actually affect a person's emotions!

Bilbo admits that he found the ring himself, not that he stole it from Gollum.

The Lord of the Rings is indeed the Lord of the Rings, and there is a hint of magic in it, which makes people love it!

"Did you really leave the Ring to your nephew?

Leaving everything in the pit to his nephew, the 111-year-old hobbit hummed a song about a literal centenarian going home.

Who says seniors can't be the protagonists?

Who says seniors can't take risks?

Yang Ling really thought that he was going to write the story of Bilbo's departure from Hobbiton next, who made Zhang Chu's story always so unexpected.

But after turning the next page, the focus of the story is on his nephew, Frodo Baggins.

He probably understood that Bilbo was probably the protagonist of the previous story, which was about how the old hobbit found the ring when he was younger, and how he used it.

The protagonist of this story is supposed to be Frodo, could it be that the young hobbit wants to follow his uncle's example and go on a wonderful adventure as well?

Fifty-year-old Bilbo has experienced a lot of others at this age, and fifty-year-old Frodo is also faintly aware that maybe his own fifty years old will be very magnificent!

Something big seems to have happened to the whole world.

The normally peaceful Charr suddenly had a lot of passers-by, with elves rarely seen migrating through the forests preparing to leave Middle-earth, and groups of dwarves taking refuge in the mines of the Blue Mountains in the West.

And Gandalf hasn't been seen for a long time since he last attended Bilbo's birthday party!

Different races emerged at this time, and different forces also appeared.

The White Council, the Dark Jungle, and the evil Black Tower of Mordor have been re-established, and the entire world of Middle-earth has been plunged into the shadow of war.

Rumors of trolls have also appeared, and Mordor is no longer the legendary carnivore, but has become a weird half-orc!

The world is changing upheaval, and the vanished wizard has reappeared.

It turned out that Gandalf had been looking for information about the Lord of the Rings over the years, and in his conversation with Frodo, he explained the various effects and dangers of the One Ring.

There is no such thing as a free thing, and if you enjoy the effect of the Lord of the Rings, you have to suffer the side effects of it.

Yang Ling was curious about how this kind-hearted hobbit would choose to use or treat it after learning about the dangers of the Ring!

It's just that Gandalf's memories made Yang Ling more and more curious about Bilbo, how did a hobbit who didn't have any strength get this ring, and what the so-called battle of the five armies was, he felt very shocked and atmospheric when he heard it!

Zhang Chu's words are not fancy, but they firmly attract the eyes of the people in this courtyard, making them reluctant to put it down, making them want to read it in one breath.
