Chapter 247: An Unexpected Journey
"Thorin" The dwarves hurriedly put down the food in their hands after seeing Thorin, stood up and saluted Thorin, after all, Thorin's identity is there, even if Thorin is down, he is also the prince of the dwarves, and the first heir to the throne of the Lonely Mountain, after Thorin greeted all the dwarves, the dwarves greeted Gandalf one after another, and it can be seen that Gandalf's status among these dwarves is very high, "Gandalf, this is your favorite dragon orchid tongue wine, I didn't expect to be able to find it in the hobbit's kitchen," the old dwarf with a gray beard and hair, Balin, handed Gandalf a glass of black wine, "Oh, thank you, Balin," Gandalf took a sip and looked very satisfied, it seemed that Bilbo's dragon orchid wine was very delicious.
"Who is this?" At this time, Bahrain was the first to see Chu Ming standing aside, and felt very strange about Chu Ming's human identity, although humans and dwarves are not hostile to each other, but humans have been too weak over the years, so weak that they can almost be ignored, and after their original plan, they did not say that they would find a human to mix in, Bahrain couldn't help but have a strong curiosity about Chu Ming's identity, he wanted to know who Chu Ming was, and he was able to make Gandalf change his original plan.
"This is Mr. Chu Ming, from the far east, Mr. Chu Ming is a very powerful warrior, you must respect him as if you respect me" Gandalf didn't open his mouth, Thorin took the lead in saying, by Thorin said this, all the dwarves looked at Chu Ming curiously, it will never be a simple task to be able to be favored by Thorin, Thorin is originally an existence with eyes above the top, and what can make Thorin respect must be an extremely powerful existence.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'll interrupt your conversation, you want to know, why did you suddenly appear in my house, and, and you want to eat all my food, I don't remember I invited a group of dwarves and a wizard and a human" At this time, Bilbo finally squeezed into the dining room, plucked up his courage and asked the dwarves, dwarves, look at me, I look at you, and suddenly burst into laughter, which made Bilbo a little overwhelmed, "Hahaha, He even said that we had eaten all his food, hahaha, laughed at me" The stout and stout Dwarin among the dwarves laughed at his own tears and snot came out, Bahrain hurriedly pulled away the food in front of Dwarin, so that Dwarin's tears and snot did not squirt into the food, "We dwarves always eat all the food when they eat, and he even asked us why we ate all his food?" Hahaha, that's funny, it's to blame that we have a big belly, and your food storage is too small, hahaha" Fat Ball Pang Bo laughed as he stuffed a large piece of cheese into his mouth and swallowed it without even chewing.
"Dear Bilbo, after reading this, you may understand, now I have to eat something too" Gandalf handed Bilbo a contract book, and then he sat down with Chu Ming and Thorin, and began to enjoy the food that Bilbo had hidden, I have to say that the hobbit's cooking skills are much better than those made in ordinary restaurants.
"What's that? Employment contract? Well, it looks very formal, let me see, anyone who participates in this journey, can get their own share of the reward after the mission is successful, and the amount of reward is calculated according to the total amount of items obtained, well, this is very good, very fair, but if the task fails, there is no reward, wow, this is a bit unreasonable, and this, you can get additional compensation after being injured, and all the expenses spent on the journey can be reimbursed when the time comes, well, this is also very good, If the contractor dies, the death here includes being bitten to death, burned, trampled into mashed meat, eaten, etc., and will not be paid anything, hissing sounds so dangerous" Bilbo took the contract letter given by Gandalf, and after reading it for a long time, he saw all the places in the contract clearly, making sure that there would be nothing missing, and Chu Ming and Gandalf also finished eating, there was no food left on the table, all the plates were licked by Pombo, and Pombo said that he could still eat ten catties of cheese.
"I've read your contract, I have a question, where are you going? What to do? I think I need to know" Bilbo walked over to Gandalf and asked Gandalf, Gandalf looked at Thorin, Thorin nodded, and then Gandalf said, "Lonely Mountain, we are going to Lonely Mountain, once the royal city of the dwarves, the capital of the dwarves, there are mountains of treasure in it, all gold and diamonds, silver is not even qualified to lie there, as long as our goal is achieved, then you can get a lot of riches, more gold than you can fit in the bottom of your bag, and we have only one enemy, That's Smaug," Gandalf said to Bilbo.
"Wow, that sounds tempting, but who's Smaug?" Bilbo is not particularly excited after hearing about the mountains of gold and silver, for this kind of thing, Bilbo is not very powerful, Bilbo likes his life now, he doesn't want to break his own life, if Gandalf said his words to Jonathan in the mummy world, then Jonathan himself can overturn Smaug and recover the lonely mountain, and he doesn't need any help, not even need to wear armor, and he doesn't need to hold a sword, Jonathan can overturn Smaug with his bare hands, Jonathan would show Smaug that dragons weren't the only ones who liked gold, he did, and that he loved it much more than dragons.
"This is Smaug" Gandalf took out a map of Middle-earth in his arms, pointed to the lonely mountain and said, there was a flying red dragon drawn in the sky above the lonely mountain, Chu Ming completely lost interest in this map after looking at it, the map only showed a few mountains, and the geographical location of several countries, even the rivers and forests were not marked, extremely simple, not even the borders of the country were drawn, it was like writing a few names on a piece of paper, And then it took a few peaks and that's it.
"This is, Dragon? Dragon? Are you saying that our enemy is a dragon? Bilbo tentatively asked Gandalf, "That's right, our enemy is a dragon, Mr. Bilbo, you are not wrong at all" Gandalf said to Bilbo, Chu Ming clearly saw Bilbo's throat squirm, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, Bilbo trembled at the mention of the word dragon, let alone let him fight the dragon.
"Gentlemen, I don't think I'm going to sign this contract, absolutely not, definitely not," Bilbo threw the contract to Gandalf as if he had seen something terrible, and took a few steps back, "I knew that talking to a hobbit about this thing was like talking to a mouse about a cat, the hobbits were too timid for Smaug to move, and the hobbits would be scared to death just by seeing Smaug's size," Dwarf Dwarin taunted Bilbo, Bilbo tried to refute but had no choice but to sigh and pretend that nothing had happened.
"Let me say, we'll do it ourselves, we dwarves have nothing to fear!" At this time, the two twins, Fili and Chili, stood up and said, "No, Smaug killed and ate so many dwarves, he is already very familiar with the breath of dwarves, as long as you appear near Smaug, you will be discovered by Smaug, this is something that will definitely happen" Gandalf directly rejected the dwarves' proposal to go to the anus of Smaug alone without thinking about it, although Chu Ming has the ability to face the anus of Smaug alone, but Chu Ming will not do that, no way, in Chu Ming's eyes, The most valuable thing in the Lord of the Rings Chrono is the Supreme Ring, if there is no Bilbo, how can Chu Ming get the One Ring? According to the inertia of the plot, the Supreme Ring will definitely come into Bilbo's hands, and Chu Ming needs to ask Bilbo how to hold the Supreme Ring for a hundred years without being eroded by the Supreme Ring.
"Bilbo, I know your grandfather and father, I remember when you were a child, you always liked to go to the farthest place to chase the most beautiful butterflies, at that time you always asked Charr what the outside world was like, you now have a chance to get out of the Charr, to see the outside world, as long as I am alive, I will keep you safe, our team is much stronger than you think, Bilbo, the blood of adventure flows in your bones, even engraved into your soul, Don't deny it, it's true, go with your heart, if you miss this opportunity, you will regret it" Gandalf poured a belly of chicken soup into Bilbo, "The contract is for you to stay here, we leave early tomorrow morning, I hope you will come" Gandalf left the contract and left with a vote of dwarves.
"Yes, it looks like I'm going to sleep on the street again tonight" Chu Ming muttered in his heart, but he still reluctantly followed Gandalf out of Bilbo's bag hole, when everyone left, Bilbo looked at the restaurant with messy cups and plates, and then looked at the contract book that was placed on the table, and for a while Bilbo's mind was very chaotic and chaotic.
"Why was this guy able to take thirty percent of the treasure himself? It's not fair, we have thirteen dwarves, a wizard, a snitch, a human, and he can only take one-sixteenth of the treasure according to the agreement! "When the dwarves learned from Thorin that Thorin allowed Chu Ming to take a third of the treasure of the Lonely Mountain, they completely broke out, they roared angrily, wanting to tear something apart, they didn't believe that Chu Ming had the strength to take a third of the treasure by himself.
"Dvalin, your hammer is good, can you show me?" Chu Ming said to the dwarf strong man Dwarin, Dwarin angrily threw his hammer to Chu Ming, he hoped that Chu Ming could understand how powerful he was with his hammer, Chu Ming took Dwarin's hammer and flipped it in his hand, indicating that the hammer was very light, Dwarin immediately blew his beard and glared and rolled up his sleeves to teach Chu Ming a lesson, but he was horrified to see his huge hammer being pinched by Chu Ming's hammer head, as the strength of Chu Ming's hand gradually increased, the hammer head was pinched and deformed, And Chu Ming still looks calm and breezy.
"Give it back to you" Chu Ming threw the hammer to Dewarin, and after Devalin caught it, he immediately took a breath of cold air, because there were Chu Ming's deep and clear finger prints on the head of the hammer, and Chu Ming's five finger prints were firmly embedded in the solid hammer, what a powerful force? When Dwalin was shocked, Thorin didn't say anything, he knew that Chu Ming didn't use all his strength, Chu Ming only exerted a small part of his own strength, a person who could break the stone floor with one punch, plus smash a hole more than half a meter in diameter, Thorin didn't think he would be able to pinch Dwalin's hammer.
