Originally, the owner of the Prancing Horse Hotel thought that if Chu Ming was beaten up and even killed, then he didn't even need to pay for Chu Ming's meals, the Prancing Horse Hotel did not prohibit fighting, but it was forbidden to do anything to the boss, and it was forbidden to cause huge damage to the store, but who would have thought that Chu Ming would be so violent, in the face of five or six outlaws, not only did he not have any cowardice, but killed them with a sword, this time it was the turn of the owner of the Prancing Horse Hotel to panic completely, he hurriedly went to the back kitchen, instructed the hobbit who was in charge of cooking that Chu Ming's food must be made delicious.

After Chu Ming went up to the second floor, the rest of the people hurriedly began to discuss, discussing Chu Ming's origin, discussing Chu Ming's strength, these outlaws killed by Chu Ming are very famous, there is no one who doesn't know those outlaws in the Prancing Horse Hotel, as long as they give money, they don't dare to kill, humans can kill dwarves, half-orcs, and even elves if they pay money, and if half-orcs pay money, they can kill humans, dwarves, and even spy on human intelligence to half-orcs, The martial arts of these outlaws are not low, especially with the cooperation, they are even more brave, several of them have killed a whole team of half-orcs, there are twenty half-orcs, so there are generally few people willing to conflict with these outlaws, but unfortunately, these people provoked Chu Ming's body, and they deserved to die, in the midst of everyone's chatter, the bodies of these outlaws were taken away by the owner of the Prancing Horse Hotel, and their weapons and money were also stripped off. It became the personal belongings of the owner of the Prancing Horse Hotel, and in a dark corner, a figure taller than the average human, shrouded in a gray shabby robe, thoughtfully took a puff of his pipe.

"Sir, your dinner" After Chu Ming waited for half an hour, a pretty maid sent Chu Ming's dinner to Chu Ming's room, Chu Ming had just finished taking a bath, her upper body was exposed, her angular muscles, and the maid was itching for a while, and she hurriedly left after putting down Chu Ming's dinner, Chu Ming was a powerful existence that killed four or five outlaws with one sword, even if the maid had a colored heart, she was afraid that Chu Ming would also split herself with a sword.

"Taste the craftsmanship of the hobbit" Chu Ming looked at the meat steak, bread, and a cup of coffee that were placed on the table, and then began to enjoy this set meal made by the chef of the hobbit with a knife and fork, Chu Ming ate the meat steak and nodded with satisfaction, the meat was full of gravy, smooth and smooth, and there was a faint smell of vanilla, in the Middle-earth world where there was not enough seasoning, it was already very remarkable to be able to make the meat steak to such a point, the bread was also crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a strong wheat aroma, and the coffee was even more mellow, The freshly ground coffee is much better than the ground coffee sold in the market, Chu Ming finished eating this dinner that was not enough to fill his stomach, and when Chu Ming was thinking about whether to order another dinner, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside Chu Ming's door, and the gold coin that Chu Ming gave was enough for Chu Ming to eat in Middle-earth for half a year.

"If you have something, you can come in and talk about it, if there is nothing to do, please leave as soon as possible, I am a person with a strong sense of self-defense, I am very worried that others will have ill will towards me" Chu Ming wiped his mouth and said to the person outside the door, "Ahem, that is really rude" A gentle and old voice came into Chu Ming's ears, and then Chu Ming's door was pushed open, and Gandalf, who was dressed in a tattered gray robe, appeared in front of Chu Ming, Gandalf held his long black wooden wand, like a cane, Coupled with the standard harmless smile of humans and animals, it is easy to think that he is a kind old grandfather.

"You are?" Chu Ming pretended not to know Gandalf and asked Gandalf, "Oh, my name is Gandalf, Gandalf in gray robe, he is a pyrotechnician, and his sub-profession is a wizard" Gandalf introduced himself to Chu Ming, indeed, Gandalf was right, during the long time that Sauron was in hiding, Gandalf just thought that others were performing fireworks to support himself, after all, Gandalf was also flesh and blood, and he also needed to eat and drink, "Hello, Gandalf, my name is Chu Ming, I am from a distant eastern country, and I am a, um." , Traveler, yes, I'm a traveler" Chu Ming introduced himself to Gandalf, "Oh, Chu Ming, this is the first time I've heard of this name, there are few such simple names, human names and surnames are almost not so simple, elven ones will be more complicated, your name reminds me of dwarves" Gandalf said to Chu Ming, obviously guessing Chu Ming's identity, Chu Ming said that he was a traveler's expression, Gandalf didn't believe it.

"In our country, most of the names are two or three words, and more than four words are different, and there is a feeling of killing Matt" Chu Ming said some words that Gandalf didn't understand at all, and the scene suddenly became a little cold, "Okay, Gandalf, the pyrotechnic performer, what is the matter with you?" Chu Ming asked Gandalf, Gandalf hesitated a little after listening to Chu Ming's words, he originally wanted Chu Ming to participate in his next important operation, with Chu Ming's strong skills, he was fully qualified to participate in this matter, but because Chu Ming was too powerful, Gandalf felt that Chu Ming was difficult to control, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let Chu Ming participate in this operation.

"Gandalf?" Chu Ming saw that Gandalf was stunned, so he called him again, "Huh? Oh, since you are a traveler, I happen to have an action here that is related to a trip, I wonder if you are interested? Gandalf said to Chu Ming, and then handed a piece of paper to Chu Ming, Chu Ming took it and looked at it, good guy, it turned out to be an employment agreement, Chu Ming read it roughly, and he knew what Gandalf was going to do, and he also understood what time period he was in, this employment contract is the beginning of the movie Hobbit trilogy, it is to go to the Lonely Mountain to find the heirloom of the dwarf clan, the employment contract of Akon Gem, and the main characters of the six movies that run through The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, Bilbo Baggins signed this employment contract, and then embarked on the journey to the Lonely Mountain, and finally Bilbo got the Akon Gem from the hands of the awakened Smaug, and got the Ring from the hands of Gollum, and also completed his journey, which is the big winner in the whole movie, and Baggins is the person who is the most able to resist the temptation of the One Ring, there is no one, and the rest of the people who come into contact with the One Ring will not take long to be confused and lose their minds and become servants of the One Ring, Even Frodo, the male protagonist of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, was bewildered by the Lord of the Rings within a few days, but Bilbo has lived with the Lord of the Rings for hundreds of years, although he was also a little reluctant to give up the Lord of the Rings, but in the end he gritted his teeth and gave up the One Ring, which shows that Bilbo is the nemesis of the Lord of the Rings, and Gandalf is far inferior to Bilbo in this regard.

"It seems very dangerous, there are things that make me feel creepy when it comes to burning, being torn apart, being eaten, etc., and once the contractor dies, then he will automatically lose the commission of the employment contract, and if this operation is not successful, there will be no commission, to be honest, I think you are a liar, a very unreliable liar" Chu Ming said after throwing the employment contract to Gandalf, Gandalf also smiled bitterly after listening to Chu Ming's words, indeed, Gandalf didn't think it would succeed this time, After all, it was Smaug, the last dragon in Middle-earth, who stood guard on the lonely mountain.

"Yes, this operation is indeed very dangerous, there is a high probability of casualties, since Your Excellency is not willing to participate, I will not force it" Gandalf finished saying that he was going to put away the contract, he was originally two-faced about whether to hire Chu Ming, Chu Ming himself was unwilling to participate, this is better, it can be regarded as making a decision for Gandalf.

"Wait a minute, I wonder if the rest of the people in this operation are as strong as me? It's not that I'm boasting, just an outlaw like that just now, I can fight a hundred by myself! Chu Ming naturally would not give up the opportunity to go to the Lonely Mountain, so he asked Gandalf, wanting to join Gandalf's team, "Oh, this, this is not necessarily, I have signed employment contracts with many people, they are basically not as powerful as you, you are the most powerful human being I have ever seen, there is no one, maybe there are only a few noble guardians in this world who are stronger than you, whether I can recruit you or not, I still need to recruit a snitch, Only a snitch with an adventurous spirit and ambition can do it," Gandalf said to Chu Ming.

"Then I have something to say, since this operation is very dangerous, this is what you said, and I am the strongest in the team, and I will definitely contribute the most at that time, so why can I only take the same share as the others? I need to increase my share, and if you agree, I'll join your team, and accept the terms of the contract, and there will be no reward for unsuccessful actions, and no reward for death, how about it? Chu Ming said to Gandalf that money had no value to Chu Ming, and the reason why Chu Ming did this was so that he could join Gandalf's team as a relatively high-profile person, and not be suspected by Gandalf of having another purpose.

"This ..... I can't promise you this, because I am not the owner of this contract, the owner of this contract is a descendant of the Dwarven King, Thorin Oak Shield, the legendary dwarven warrior who defeated the most powerful pale and strong orc Asog with an oak shield, he is the owner of this contract, and the changes to this contract can only be changed by Thorin Oak Shield, but I can take you to meet him" Gandalf looked at Chu Ming at this time and said, he felt that it was not a bad thing to have a strong protector in his team, Chu Ming naturally had no problem wanting more treasures, because Gandalf knew that although there were more than a dozen dwarves when he set off, when he was really able to defeat Smaug, recapture the Lonely Mountain, and re-establish the bridgehead of the human, dwarf, and elven camps, he didn't know how many dwarves could be alive, and the dead would not be qualified to share the treasures at that time, so just give Chu Ming some more.

"It's okay, I'm bored anyway, so I'll go with you for a while" Chu Ming stretched and said, and then dressed himself, Gandalf looked at Chu Ming, he couldn't see Chu Ming's origin and purpose, but he could feel that Chu Ming did not belong to the orc camp, but a powerful and arrogant ranger in the human camp, as long as you belong to the human camp in Middle-earth, then you are the enemy of the orcs, just like that, Gandalf is not worried that Chu Ming will betray them or anything like that, because orcs rarely accept human traitors, Humans are often rations for the orcs, and although many human armies collectively defected to the orcs in the later period to help the orcs attack Gondor, it happened when the orcs were about to win, and now it seems that there is no sign of surrender for humans.

"In that case, sir, you probably have lost a good night, because we have to travel all night to find the last member of our team, an adventurous and quiet snitch, I have a good candidate, because I am good friends with his father and grandfather, and the blood of adventure flows in his blood, and he showed a strong adventurous spirit when he was a child" Gandalf explained to Chu Ming.

"Very good, one more teammate means more strength" Chu Ming agreed, in fact, it is not a big problem who comes and who does not come from those dwarves, but Bilbo must join the team, Chu Ming needs to know from Bilbo's body why he can resist the corrosion and temptation of the Supreme Ring for so long, and when Chu Ming gets the Supreme Ring, then before Sauron is completely dead, it will be difficult for Chu Ming to control the Supreme Ring, which Chu Ming needs to learn from Bilbo.
