Ling Qi shook his head and turned sideways, refusing to accept the salute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Thorin, you don't have to, you and I have already made an alliance covenant. In the dictionary of the phonetic people, there is never a word to sit back and look at the suffering of allies. ”

"And you've already paid for food and clothing, haven't you?"

Ling Qi smiled, and so did Thorin.

"Dwarves never forget the help of their friends, just as they never forget the taste of being betrayed. ”

Thorrin's words made the other two dwarves look like they were enemies, Gandalf sighed slightly, and Alex, who entered through the door, had a disdainful sneer on his face, as if he was extremely disdainful of this false warmth.

"Lynch, my lord, the new batch of goods has been loaded, do you want to send it to the scheduled location now?"

Alex expressed his dissatisfaction with Ling Qi in his own way, he was reminding Ling Qi that they were grasshoppers on a rope, and they couldn't be just one person forever!

As a retainer, it's rude to disturb the host when he is entertaining, or for such a trivial matter.

Alex never seemed to care about the details, he only cared about the result.

Ling Qi didn't want to push him too much, so he immediately walked up and grabbed his hand, dragging the young man who instantly stiffened his footsteps, and came to Suorin and the others.

"Alex, you've just come just in time to meet a few of our companions who will be with us soon. ”

"Thorin, this is Alex, you've seen him, he's my right-hand man. ”

"In fact, the supplies he just mentioned are meant to be sent to the territory of my loveliest dwarven friends. ”

"Alex, this is Bahrain and Dwarin, they are brothers, although they don't look alike. ”

Ling Qi introduced and joked to ease the atmosphere.

"This is Gandalf, you've seen it too. ”

Alex was a little stunned by Ling Qi, and he didn't understand why he suddenly seemed to be a different person.

Alex, who was not good at socializing, could only squeeze out a stiff smile and a few polite guests, and he was more jealous of Gandalf, just nodding his head.

His performance immediately wasted all the opportunities that Ling Qi had just created for him that could have won the favor of the dwarves and wizards, which was not beyond Ling Qi's expectations, how could he be a wedding dress for others.

"Ling Qi, I shouldn't have ordered more goods. ”

Just after Ling Qi had struck the iron while the iron was hot and introduced the Dragonborn Girl to a few people, Thorin suddenly came to him and asked in a low voice.

"It's going to be very cold this winter, so I've taken it upon myself to buy an extra batch of supplies to send to your territory. ”

"Don't worry about money, you know I'm not short of wealth. If you want to worry about it any more, our poor friends won't have to do anything. ”

Ling Qi also replied in a low voice, as if he was taking care of Thorin's face.

Thorin suddenly lowered his head, not knowing what to say for a moment.

He is stubborn and proud, but not a fool. If he had just met Ling Qi and the other party behaved like this, he would definitely be vigilant and wary. But now, after stepping up again and again, he understands that the other party is "sincere".

The clansmen will always be his weakness. For the sake of those young and old, he can sacrifice the few warriors he already has, lead them on an adventure, or complete an impossible mission. He can even sacrifice himself if necessary!

"Thank you!"

Thorin whispered, like a mosquito.

Ling Qi laughed quietly:

"It doesn't have to be like this, the friends of the people of the music are only more precious than gold and silver. ”

With a little trick, Thorin, who might have been the biggest obstacle to Bilbo joining the team, remained silent during Gandalf's subsequent speeches and introductions.

Of course, Ling Qi had already secretly told him that no matter what, he would also bring the people they had predetermined. As for Gandalf... Let him toss as much as he likes!

Since the people had not yet arrived, Gandalf's speech was shallow, and he himself looked unsatisfied.

In the next two days, the members of the internal team who received the summons arrived one by one, and as Ling Qi expected, all of them were dwarves.

As a result of the incursions, the Shire are now more prosperous, including the surrounding areas.

The land of mead wine has not only become synonymous with happiness, but also a barrier to the east of the Shire.

Here, you can rarely see people of all ethnic groups getting along well, and everyone can have enough food and clothing.

Perhaps it was feared that the population would be lost, but the land of honey had a bad reputation in farther afield, and even Gandalf was angry when he heard the slander of the land of depravity and filth. If you can't do it yourself, you slander other people's credits as forgeries?

The prosperity of a place will not affect just one person, but a group of people, and the first to benefit are those closest to them.

The impoverished dwarven king of the mountain, after his friendship with Ling Qi has grown, even has his own exclusive mount, instead of running on two legs all day long as he used to do.

Within two days, the dwarves who came one after another all formed a friendship with Ling Qi in different shades, and the sugar-coated cannonballs contributed a lot!

Balin, Dwalin, Oyin, Groin, Beaufer, Pomber, Beaver, Nolly, Ori, Dori, plus the mostly teenager Fili, Chili, and Thorin, the king of the mountain.

Gandalf's original adventure party members have finally arrived on the seventh day of the Furnace Month!

This configuration was probably the best and best among the dwarves that Gandalf and Thorin could think of.

Bahrain, who had seen the powerful armament of the land of honey wine, couldn't help but sigh secretly at this time.

After Ling Qi proposed to lead his troops to Lonely Mountain for the third time, but Gandalf insisted on refusing, Bahrain, who once respected wizards the most, also firmly sided with Thorin!

If he is not familiar with Ling Qi, or does not understand his personality, Bahrain is also worried that Ling Qi will be a virtue with those elves, bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and shrinking at a critical time, he will definitely support Gandalf's choice.

The problem is that with contact and understanding, he, like Thorin, regards Ling Qi as a friend and ally of the dwarves, and his own people!

Except for the three brothers Nuoli, Oli and Dori, who only arrived today, all the dwarves have already recognized the bold Ling Qi, and what they admire the most is that at yesterday's dinner, Ling Qi and they drank together, and they all fell down alone.

And they've already seen Ling Qi's skills. Able to fight, drink, and bold, and occasionally shouting like a dwarf, Dewalin even expressed regret that Ling Qi was not reincarnated into the dwarven clan.

If your family wants to help, why should you refuse? Your own people have strength, why don't you use it!

Whether it's going to the lonely mountain to slay the dragon or stealing something, in short, since you want to recover the lonely mountain, your friend said that you want to take the army to cheer, you don't want to, you want to gather a large group of stragglers, and find an unreliable snitch!

When no one is available, it is just that, and now their team seems to be unavailable?

The regular armed forces in the Land of Honey Wine have more than two hundred people, and half of them are elite, and they can be pulled out to fight with elves!

"Ahem, respected wizard, since everyone is here, why don't we eat directly, and get to the point as soon as possible. ”

Of the three dwarven brothers who had just arrived in the afternoon, Nolly, who had behaved the most inappropriately, sat at the huge dining table and couldn't help but remind Gandalf, who was the first on his left.

He's been hungry all day, and the table full of food makes his mouth water, even if he is a chef himself, he dares to say that he has never seen so many things that look delicious in his life!

Cooks, blacksmiths, hunters, leathermen!

Not all of you here are warriors, and all kinds of professional configurations are absolutely complete. It's a pity that this is not a game, full-time warriors and archers are what they need most.

The only strength of this group is that they are strong, they look powerful, and they are loyal and reliable.

"Be quiet, Nori, don't you see that your master hasn't spoken yet?"

Boss Dori couldn't help but remind him that the oppressive extravagance in the restaurant and the fact that at least half of the food on the table could not be named made the blacksmith a little nervous.

In fact, he doesn't have to be like this, because everyone else is very relaxed, talking and laughing, which shows that the host is not a bitter character.

"Ahem! Nori, I see your movements!"

"Not now! Not now! At least not today! Because there is an important guest who is not here today!"

The dwarf Noli had only been persuaded by his brother for less than three minutes before he couldn't bear his hunger and wanted to make a small gesture. The table was big enough, the food was piled high enough, and everyone seemed relaxed, and he didn't think it would be rude to order a pre-dinner dessert.

As a result, the sharp-eyed Gandalf put down his cigarette stick and spoke earnestly to the dwarf, causing others to look at him, and the ashamed Nolli almost went straight under the table.

It can be seen that Gandalf and this person are almost all old acquaintances, and they really have a wide range of friends.

Balin and Thorin were whispering something, not noticing the smallest details.

Ling Qi had been laughing with Charles, who was sitting beside him, and then threw a relieved, friendly look at Nori.

Alex plays the wooden man and stands aside, what a loyalty!

"Sir, sir, Lord Baggins has arrived, he's in a little trouble on the way, I'm taking him..."

The wooden door to the dining room was pushed open, and a guard in chain mail trotted in.

"It's okay, just bring Mr. Bilbo here, the other guests should be in a hurry, and there happens to be an old man who wants to see him. ”

Ling Qi meant something, and the guard was ordered to leave.

"Tsk, the equipment is really good. ”

"Hey, Fili, where did you guys come from, it can't be the one who sponsored it, then a few of us..."

"Well, it's all your fault, Nori, if it weren't for you..."

The dwarfs whispered, but no one paid any attention to Mr. Bilbo or Lord Baggins, even though he was an important guest of the wizard.

That's when Bilbo came on the scene.

With a hobbit upbringing, he wouldn't have been rude. But as the guard had said lightly, he had a little trouble on the way. In addition, Bilbo is no stranger to bee stinging honey, which means that he and Ling Qi will not be hypocritical and polite.

So when he wiped the stains on his face with his sleeve and the mud on the soles of his feet, he pushed open the door of the restaurant...

This representative of the landlord class of the hobbits was directly stunned by the formality and extravagance of the banquet.

"Ahh You didn't say that there were so many people invited today, and that it was such a formal gathering!
