Chapter 12: The Hobbit's Friendship

"Chirp~Chirp~"

Thousands of miles away, after a day and a night of flight, the bird landed in a green messy nest!

Suddenly, a black cloud overheaded, and a worn hood completely covered the bird's nest, but no frightened bird struggled to take off. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Dressed in a brown robe, Redagast put on his hat to cover his messy and funny hair, and patted the top of his hat again, as if to comfort him, and then complained to Gandalf:

"Look, there's nothing wrong with that kid. Although his female companion will use some strange powers, and even have some dragon breath on his body. However, you and I both know that Smaug is already the last evil dragon in Middle-earth. ”

Gandalf, who is also the guardian of Middle-earth, an emissary from Valinor, and a member of the White Council, is obviously a higher status than Rydagast, which can be seen in their demeanor and tone of conversation.

Radagast never assigned Gandalf what to do, but he always listened to the advice of the Grey-robed wizard.

This is also normal, when Gandalf was still using the name Oroin, he was stronger than Ridagast, and his name was more resounding. And when he arrived in Middle-earth, Saruman the White, or Kurunel, was the most powerful of the five messengers. Gandalf's knowledge, however, was so rich that even Saruman was jealous.

Even when the White Council was formed, Gandalf was proposed to be Speaker by Galadriel, the elven queen of Lothlorin, but he himself refused. Obviously, no fool would elect a brown-robed wizard to be Speaker, which is completely unrealistic.

But now, the revered gray-robed wizard, who was even able to rival Saruman to some extent, didn't have the slightest hint of what Maia should be.

He sat on a low stone pier, his tall stature making the stone even more pitiful, and the staff, made of some kind of wood, leaned casually against the stump.

Just looking at the wooden cane, which is the same as a dead branch, no one will believe that it is even harder than alloy steel!

Sitting among the dead branches and leaves on the ground, Gandalf smoked dry tobacco and puffed out smoke rings.

"It's too early to draw conclusions. ”

"Before Morgoth and Sauron did evil, no one thought they would become the Demon Kings who would nearly destroy the world. In fact, they were just a little rebellious at first. ”

Gandalf tapped his pipe, cleaned up the remaining ash, and took new tobacco from the pouch and lit it.

Redagast sat down across from Gandalf, frowning, refusing to say anything more on the subject.

Sauron is just like them, just Maia, though it's stronger. Morgoth is the real Vera, and even the most powerful and elite of the Vera.

As for Gandalf saying that they were just a little rebellious at first, that's a joke. Those guys were bad from the very beginning.

"Maybe you're right, Gandalf. ”

"But don't forget, that kid is only a mortal after all. ”

"Even if he has a slight amount of elven blood, he will probably live longer than ordinary mortals, and his soul will never be able to live forever or even return to Valinor. ”

There is no eternal life, and there is no need to treat Maia as an equal, including the enemy, who has an infinite life.

The enemies of the Guardians of Middle-earth are always the ones who will never die.

Evil mortals, how many years can they be arrogant?

"I felt another extremely large dark force in him, not inferior to Smaug, if not at all!"

Gandalf said slowly, but Redagast remained silent, saying that he did not approve of his friend's concerns.

Smaug: Even if it's the strongest dragon, so what!

With the strength they can show, of course, any dragon slaying legend is blown out, and any wizard vs. dragon can only be heard as a joke. However, if they can use all their strength, the power that truly belongs to Maiya, then even if they occasionally slaughter a dragon, it is nothing!

Vera is a god, Maia is a god servant, there are countless of them, some of them don't even have names, but the few of them are not the kind of people who are at the bottom.

"Gandalf, I think you've been blinded by the fog. We should pay more attention to what Dolgodo is going on, rather than being distracted by watching such a small guy, or trying to get those greedy and stubborn dwarves to unite and slay some dragon!"

"Only the necromancer of Dolgothor is our great enemy! I think you should know what it is, a mortal wizard can't induce us to be so clearly alerted, though we don't have any evidence that it has anything to do with that guy. ”

Redagast bluntly warned, and he didn't even dare or would not even say Sauron's name directly.

From this, it can be seen that Gandalf has traveled deeper and farther on a certain path, although he also does not say those forbidden names in front of mortals, lest they cause unnecessary trouble. His true realm was no worse than that white-robed wizard and the Dark Demon Lord, barely at the same level.

However, Ridagast, who is extremely jealous of the Demon Lord, does not have to be hypocritical and polite to Gandalf, not only because they are limited to the rules and can only show limited strength, but also because they are old friends and friends!

"I understand, don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on Dolgoto. ”

"In fact, the reason why I am intent on bringing about this alliance is that I want to get rid of the great enemy from the north in advance, so that I can concentrate on dealing with the changes in the south. ”

"Smaug has never shown loyalty to anyone, but I believe that if evil reigns over the earth again, it will certainly not mind flying out of its lair for a spin. ”

"With the power we have at our disposal at the moment, do you think it will take a few Gandalf or Redagast to take on a Smaug. ”

Gandalf put down his pipe and quipped with a smile.

A few flickering sparks fell to the ground, scalding three holes in a palm-sized leaf that had already withered yellow.

The brown-robed wizard flattened his mouth, as if he was a little aggrieved, and as if he was complaining and dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, even if you're right, is it really necessary to keep an eye on that little guy every day? ”

Gandalf smiled, shook his head, extinguished the fireworks, then got up, dusted the hem of his clothes, and picked up his leaning staff from the stump next to him.

"Old friend, you can grasp the specific degree yourself, but don't be too lax. ”

Gandalf looked up and looked at the sky, as if he was remembering something.

"I believe in the bravery and loyalty of Otodo, but I don't know the current prince or king?"

"If he is really looking after our future companion in my place, then I don't even mind using some forbidden means to remove him from the sins and evils that have been corrupted and infiltrated after this incident, as an apology to my great-grandfather. ”

Gandalf's eyes were deep, and the implication of his words made Ridagast, who was also a wizard, awe-inspiring. Before he could ask or warn, Gandalf said:

"But if he has another purpose, then pray that he will not hurt the descendants of Old Tuk, or I will make him regret what he did. ”

Gandalf began to walk out as he spoke, farther and farther away.

The brown-robed wizard stopped talking, but finally only turned into a helpless sigh. He never doubted his threats, for Gandalf had never been a philistines, though he seemed to have acquired a little dwarven rigidity and elven pride during his millennia of travels.

Three months later, in the new manor house to the east of Shire, known locally as "bee stinging honey", the laid-back Lingqi welcomed a special guest in the evening after receiving good news in the afternoon.

"Haha! It's Mr. Bilbo Baggins here, and I'm glad to see you!"

Lingqi, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, leaned over with a smile on his face and hugged the hobbit who was just above his waist.

"Mr. Bilbo is here in person, it can't be a honey bar that has invented something new. ”

"I think the name of bee stinging honey is more suitable for your abode than the hole in the bottom of the bag, and even I wonder how many delicacies you have hidden in your house. ”

The Hobbies are delicious and hospitable, and if Ling Qi compliments him on his wealth, Bilbo probably won't be too happy. But Ling Qi praised his craftsmanship and the food in his home, and did not even hide his hidden jealousy, which made Bilbo's heart flutter.

As a special hobbit, Bilbo has a little bit of adventure and innovation that other hobbits don't have. This also means that he tends to be stricter than other hobbits when it comes to choosing his friends and guests. There is no doubt that Lingqi, who is not a hobbit but knows the habits of hobbits quite well, has succeeded in winning Bilbo's favor by virtue of his extraordinary charm.

This favor is not easy to come by, based on the tacit transaction of nearly 100 days, it is always easier to rise from acquaintance to friend than to start from stranger.

"Hehe, Master Lynch said with a smile, the hole at the bottom of the bag is the name given by my grandfather's grandfather, and it can't be changed arbitrarily. ”

Bilbo, who had a fairly handsome face, waved his hand again and again, showing a look of fear, and then said:

"Besides, it's just the mead manor, and I like the name. As for bee stings, you know we hobbits have never been good at fighting. ”

Bilbo smiled faintly, meaningfully, obviously surprised by what he had seen in the courtyard earlier, but Hobbi was too much of a Hobbit to mind about it.

Bee stinging honey wine, in addition to referring to the manor where Ling Qi sits hides the best honey wine, but also refers to it like a bee's nest that cannot be provoked, otherwise it will not stab a bee needle, but a spear as sharp as a bee needle!

"Haha, Mr. Bilbo laughed, it's not because the honey wine you brew is so delicious that it is easy to attract bees and butterflies, that I have to guard more. ”

Ling Qi snorted haha, that is, in the face of hobbits, he could still be so casual. Otherwise, any human nobleman will not believe his nonsense when he sees the "manor guards" he trained!

Where are the private guards, they are simply the most elite warriors and dead soldiers!

"Mr. Bilbo, what do you have to say here? ”

After a polite gesture, Ling Qi pulled the topic back.

Bilbo patted his head and smiled:

"Look at me, I almost got down to business!"
