After seeing Yang Pan, Gandalf and the dwarven prince Thorin both stood up from their seats.

Looking at Yang Pan's body, which had recovered as before, Gandalf said with some surprise, "Oh, Mr. Axe, are you awake, it seems that your injuries have almost recovered, this recovery power is really amazing." ”

"Now that you're awake, let's sign the contract, the crappy snitch has already signed it." Thorin looked at Yang Pan for a moment, and then said to the old dwarf beside him, Balin, "Balin, give him the contract of the Axe King." ”

Bahrain didn't talk nonsense when he heard this, and directly took out a small notebook and handed it to Yang Pan.

Yang Pan directly reached out and took the small notebook handed over by Bahrain, and while opening it to check it, he said, "Oh, just sign the contract, I thought there would be another team test." ”

Thorin glanced at Gandalf beside him, and then said, "With the strength of the gentleman and Gandalf's recommendation, there is no need for those useless tests. ”

Looking at this contract book that was more than a meter long after it was stretched out, the corners of Yang Pan's mouth twitched slightly, and then said, "Well, that's good, it's a little troublesome, but this contract is a little longer." ”

After a general glance at the contents of this contract, Yang Pan turned his attention to the task prompt that suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Mission Name: Lonely Mountain Expedition,

Description: After being recommended by Gandalf, introduced by the Dwarven Balin, and seen your prowess firsthand, the Dwarven Prince Thorin Oakshield has decided to hire you on their sacred expedition.

Requirements: Help the dwarven prince Thorin Oakshield drive away the dragon Smaug and recapture Elber for one day.

During the mission, the dwarven prince Thorin Oakshield must not die, and the hobbit Bilbo Baggins must not die, and more than half of the dwarves are alive.

Rewards: 70,000 trading points, Lonely Mountain's Treasure Chest (containing one-tenth of the treasure in Lonely Mountain) (Quality: Gold, Material Miscellaneous),

Failure Penalty: 100,000 trade points are deducted, and your reputation in Middle-earth is greatly reduced.

Note: The greedy dragon Smaug will fight to protect its wealth, so make sure you have the strength to slay dragons when completing missions. ”

"Yes/No Yes."

After reading the task information, Yang Pan's eyebrows raised, and then he looked at the contract in his hand again, and the useless content in front of him was skimmed, and Yang Pan looked directly at the reward marked on the contract.

With the help of the infinite space of the universal translator, Yang Pan clearly saw that what was written on it was 'one-tenth of the wealth of the lonely mountain'.

Sure enough, the rewards given by Infinite Space are not groundless.

"The contract is fair, I agreed."

As he spoke, Yang Pan bit his finger and pressed a bloody fingerprint on the contract.

As Yang Pan's bloody fingerprint was pressed, the task of 'Lonely Mountain Expedition' automatically appeared on his task list.

After pressing the handprint, Yang Pan folded the contract again and handed it to the old dwarf Balin, and nodded to Thorin.

When the contract was signed, Yang Pan didn't say anything to Solindo, but turned to the hobbit who was busy in the kitchen and shouted, "Mr. Bilbo, is my food ready, or are you ready to put yourself on the grill." ”

With a slightly noisy sound of footsteps, Bilbo walked out of the kitchen with two plates in his hand, somewhat flustered.

"No, no, Mr. Axe, your food is already partially ready, please don't worry, I'm not tasty."

As he spoke, Bilbo carefully placed two plates of bacon, grilled fish, bread and fruit in front of Yang Pan, and then quickly turned around and ran back to the kitchen.

However, when Bilbo walked out with two plates again, he found that Yang Pan was not burying his head in the food he had just brought out, as he thought, but was still sitting there as if waiting for it.

Gandalf and Thorin, who were also sitting at the table, looked at Yang Pan with wide eyes at this time, as if they had seen something incredible.

As he walked forward with his plate, Bilbo asked a little strangely, "Did something happen?" Why doesn't Mr. Axe eat it, is it because the food is not appetizing? ”

At this moment, Gandalf, who was on the side, suddenly spoke, "Bilbo, why don't you consider roasting yourself." ”

Listening to Gandalf's words, Bilbo's expression froze, and he stammered a little, "Gandalf, don't be kidding. ”

Gandalf glanced at Bilbo, then at the empty plate in front of Yang Pan, and muttered quietly, "I'm afraid we'll starve today." ”

Under the watchful eyes of Gandalf and Thorin, Bilbo walked over to Yang Pan, and when he saw the two empty plates on the table, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

This time, after placing the food in his hand in front of Yang Pan, Bilbo did not leave immediately, but watched Yang Pan with Gandalf and Thorin.

Then, Bilbo saw a very shocking scene, a whole plate of food disappeared in just a dozen seconds.

Yang Pan's mouth is like a shredder that can crush all food, and Yang Pan's stomach is like a bottomless pit that can never be filled.

Faced with this terrifying pair, Bilbo only felt that his future was bleak.

After eating a plate of food, Yang Pan glanced at Bilbo, who was sluggish behind him, and then whispered, "Mr. Bilbo, are you ready to bake your own grill?" ”

"No, no, no, I'm going to prepare food."

Just witnessed Yang Pan swallow a roast chicken the size of his head in one gulp, Bilbo was really a little afraid of Yang Pan's appetite now, and immediately rushed back to the kitchen.

……

Although the eating habits are slightly different, the food made by the hobbits is quite exquisite, although the amount is a little small, but the taste is not bad, so Yang Pan is quite satisfied with this meal.

However, although Yang Pan was satisfied with this meal, the others, including Gandalf and Thorin, were hungry and had nothing to eat, or should I say that they had nothing to eat.

After drinking the last glass of fruit wine, Yang Pan wiped his mouth and burped, and then said with Gandalf, Thorin and the group of dwarves on the side, "Yo, it's all here, I'm full, so when will we start acting." ”

After listening to Yang Pan's words, the group of people gathered around the dining table looked at each other a few times, thinking that you are full, but we are still hungry.

But although their hearts are full of complaints, they will not say it.

On the one hand, where is Yang Pan's combat effectiveness, and on the other hand, last night's battle, Yang Pan's contribution did make them speechless.

Eventually, the dwarves led by Thorin asked Bilbo to help prepare some dry food, and then their Lone Mountain Expedition officially set out on its journey.

Since he has already joined the team, Yang Pan doesn't mind revealing some of his special abilities, anyway, as long as he doesn't expose his 'evil' abilities, it won't affect the relationship between Yang Pan and the dwarves and Gandalf.

After rejecting the little pony with some weak feet handed to him by Thorin, Yang Pan took out the Poké Ball and released the Iron Head, and jumped directly on the back of the Iron Head in the surprised eyes of everyone.

After riding on the iron head, Yang Pan saw that everyone was not moving, so he had no choice but to say to Gandalf and Thorin who were in the lead, "I said everyone, you don't plan to let someone who doesn't know the road lead the way." ”

After a long silence, Gandalf motioned to Thorin for the dwarves to lead the way, and then said to Yang Pan, "Mr. Axe, your mount is indeed very powerful, but it may not be very suitable for an expedition. ”

Looking at the dwarves who had already begun to move forward and still looked back from time to time, Yang Pan asked Gandalf in some surprise, "How do you say that?" ”

With Yang Pan's questioning, Tietou subconsciously turned to Gandalf, who was riding a horse next to him.

Gandalf, as a demigod, Maia naturally did not fear the beast of Ironhead, but the ordinary horse he rode did not.

The horse Gandalf was riding when the beast of Ironhead stared at him, and he was already so nervous that he raised his front hooves high and let out a terrified neigh.

Gandalf, who was sitting on horseback, was almost knocked off the back by the frightened horse, but fortunately, with his comfort and a little magic, he managed to calm the horse.

While patting the horse's neck, Gandalf, who was startled by the horse, looked at Yang Pan, and the meaning in his eyes was very obvious.

And after witnessing the scene where Gandalf almost fell from his horse, Yang Pan patted the iron head on the head to tell him not to move, and then said to Gandalf, "You go first, I will follow behind and try not to affect you, and when you get to the front, I will see if I can meet any suitable animals to walk." ”

Glancing at the huge and hideous iron head under Yang Pan, Gandalf couldn't do anything for a while, he couldn't let Yang Pan run with him.

"Okay then, but I'm afraid you'll have to solve your own food problem for this beast."

"Don't worry, I'll prepare the food for the iron head myself, and I won't let it go hungry and eat you and the horses."

"I hope so."

……

Although for the dwarves, going to the Lonely Mountain was a very sacred expedition, but for Yang Pan, the beginning of this sacred expedition was indeed a bit boring.

At the end of the day, the only thing Yang Pan and the others had encountered was the enemy, that is, two wild dogs with hungry red eyes, and they immediately ran away with their tails between their legs after seeing their large group.

However, this journey is just the beginning, and it is normal that there are no difficulties, and it just so happens that Yang Pan's state has not fully recovered at this time, so he can take advantage of this gap when he has not encountered enemies to bask in the sun and recover the energy consumed in his body.
