Mo Tie and Gandalf hit the road together, and Elon sent them out of the forest.

Several female elves also followed, filled Mo Tie with several pots of elven arrows, and folded Mara talismans with leaves and put them in his clothes.

The Mara amulet is an ornament worn by men who travel far away, and Mo Tie can't laugh or cry.

After walking for a long time, the two came to Brie, a well-known hamlet.

It was raining, and on a night like this, there were hardly any people on the streets.

Gandalf walked into the "Yuema Tavern" with Mo Tie in a familiar car.

"I've been here many times, and there's a honey berry bunch that's delicious, you can't miss it." Gandalf took off his hat, shook the rain from it, and said.

"There, it seems, fate is very accurate." Suddenly, Gandalf looked at a room in the middle of the lobby and laughed.

Mo Tie also took off his fur hat and looked in that direction, a dwarf.

Gandalf walked over and said, "I hope you don't mind if we sit down." ”

The dwarf looked at Gandalf and Mo Tie warily, and when he saw that Mo Tie was an elf, his brow was visibly furrowed, but out of respect for the gray-robed wizard, he nodded in agreement.

Mo Tie didn't care about Thorin's attitude, he knew that this guy blamed part of the fault for the destruction of the country and the family on the elves, and he also spread to all the elves, belonging to the kind that catches and bites whom.

After sitting down, Mo Tie stopped the maid passing by, ordered two deer steaks and honey wine sets, and asked for a few honey berry bunches.

Gandalf had already started a conversation with the dwarves.

Gandalf bluntly told Thorin that he hoped that the descendants of the King of the Mountain would reclaim the Lonely Mountain, and that the glory of the Durin family had been lost for too long.

"You didn't happen to meet me, did you?" Despite Thorin's heart, he was wary of not wanting to be used as a gunman. If his operation fails, which seems more likely, the dwarves of Durin will never have a chance to reclaim the Lonely Mountain.

Gandalf took the plate from the maid, thanked him, and then took an old piece of parchment from his bosom and spread it out on the table.

"Smaug has occupied the Lonely Mountain for too long, and I fear that it will attract more evil." Gandalf did not hide his intentions, his purpose did not conflict with Thorin's, "It wasn't until I remembered this map that I realized that the road was already under my feet. ”

Mo Tie got the honey berry bunch and tasted it, isn't this a rock sugar gourd!

How Gandalf used the map to convince Thorin. How to explain that the origin of the map and the key has nothing to do with Mo Tie, he is reminiscing about the taste of his hometown.

After he finished eating and drinking, the conversation between the other two was coming to an end.

"I still have a question, why is this elf following us?" Thorin had no objection to Gandalf's plan, he just couldn't accept an elf coming with him.

Gandalf was a little irritated: "Thorin, don't let hostility blind your eyes. Even if you hate Thrandil, why are you angry with Ain? Just like when you were in trouble, there were dwarves on the continent who were enjoying their wealth, would you hate them for that? ”

Thorin looked down in thought.

Gandalf explained, "Aine has been wandering in Middle-earth since he was a child, and he has never seen any other elves. If you refuse to join him, don't you think it's very unfair to him? ”

Thorin raised his head, a little unconvinced in his eyes: "I want to know, why do you have to be him?" Dwarves can take home to their own gardens on their own. ”

"Because he once destroyed tens of thousands of orcs on his own, Thorin, you have been targeted, and you need the power of Ain." Gandalf said earnestly.

Thorin was taken aback and asked, "Darkblood Lord?" ”

"Yes." Gandalf replied with a smile, knowing that Mo Tie didn't like the title.

"I see, I was wrong. I apologize to you, honorable strong. Thorin's attitude changed suddenly.

Hearing Mo Tie's title, he certainly understood how much risk would be reduced in this business. With only the wrong name and no wrong nickname, the "Dark Blood Lord" is much stronger than the "Oak Shield".

Mo Tie shook his head absently, indicating that it didn't matter.

"We still need a snitch, please meet at the appointed time for the charles, and I will leave you a mark."

Gandalf packed up his things and left with Motie.

On the way, Mo Tie asked, "Is our snitch in the Shire?" I've heard that it's full of hobbits, and it's not very good. ”

Gandalf pulled on his wizarding hat and explained, "Yes, they enjoy peace and are content with the status quo. But they really are born snitches, and if there's one race that can dance in front of the sleeping Smaug without waking the dragon, it's the hobbits. ”

I can too, I've walked around Smaug's treasure, Mo Tie thought to himself.

……

Cape Shire.

Bilbo Baggins sat on a bench and smoked his pipe leisurely, the best shreds of the Shire that intoxicated him.

Suddenly, two tall figures blocked out his sunlight.

One was a white-bearded old man in a gray robe, and the other was a handsome young man with a long backpack.

He could tell at a glance that people of this height would never be hobbits, so where did they come from?

Oh no, the serene hobbit would never think about it, Bilbo had no interest in people from the outside world, he didn't want to ask about their adventures, and even the thought of the word "adventure" made him too daring.

So, how can you appear a little polite?

"Good morning." Bilbo hesitated.

Gandalf's bark-like face spread into a smile and teasedly, "What do you mean? Say hello to us? Or do you want to say, whether I like it or not, this morning is not bad? Or are you feeling good on this particular morning? ”

Mo Tie rolled his eyes speechlessly, and the old man's bad taste appeared.

Bilbo rolled his eyes twice, but Gandalf didn't let him go, and continued, "Or are you just saying that it's a good morning?" ”

Bilbo gave up thinking and wittily replied, "Maybe it's all of them." ”

Gandalf began to examine Bilborough, as if looking for a former companion in the hobbit.

"Do you want my help?" Bilbo sat on pins and needles, still maintaining basic politeness.

"Let's see." Gandalf may have been in the middle of his memories before he continued, "I'm looking for someone to venture with me. ”

Bilbo was so frightened that he even pulled his pipe out of his mouth and said with some nervousness, "Risky? No, I don't think anyone in Brie West is interested in the term. ”

He got up and checked the mailbox next to him, looked at Gandalf with a sneaky look, and said goodbye to Gandalf with the same phrase - "Good morning".
