Chapter 11 Departure (Second Update, Today's Update)

Gandalf fiddled with the flame of the butter candle in his hand and said to the crowd, "As he said, I thought of using this secret door to find this snitch, Mr. Bilbo Baggins. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Okay," said Thorrin, "perhaps the professional snitch can give us some advice," he said no more than two wizards, and turned to Bilbo Baggins politely.

"First of all, I need to know more about the situation," now that he had signed a contract to sit at the table with the dwarves on an equal footing to discuss this confidential issue, he simply let go: "I mean the ins and outs of this matter, I want to have an understanding!" ”

"Oh my God!"

As arrogant as Thorin, he was suddenly lost his reserve by his words, and said in surprise: "Don't you see this map?" We've been talking about it for over an hour? ”

"Whatever, I hope you can explain it a little bit clearly," he patiently changed to a business-oriented attitude, "We just talked about the risks, the additional costs, the time it takes, the rewards, etc., but we didn't explain the root cause of this operation. ”

What he meant was, in fact, "Is this action an act of justice?" ”

"Well, as you wish," Thorin began to explain the past of the dwarves of Turin to the hobbit, "my grandfather Thor's generation, our family was driven from the north and came to this mountain range on the map with all their wealth and tools, and after years of hard work my grandfather became king of the mountain again, and the humans living in the south near him were very respectful. Those humans settled in the valleys next to the mountains. ”

"What does it have to do with this expedition?" The hobbit asked.

"There are many dragons in the north of Middle-earth, they plunder the treasure from other races, and since most of the dwarves have been killed or fled south, the dragon has also flown south from the sky, and unfortunately it has found us!"

"The town of Riverdale founded by humans was almost defenseless and destroyed, and after that, we dwarves...... The dragon Scor's spear will kill us and flee to death, and then take all the wealth for yourself! ”

His words led all the dwarves into silence, all the surviving Turin dwarves were deserters, deserters who did not fight with the kingdom until the last moment!

But Thorin wondered if the map was in Gandalf's hands!

Gandalf saw his confusion and said, "Your father disappeared long after your grandfather was killed, in fact, after your grandfather was killed, your father was going to use this map to try his luck, he went through all kinds of terrible adventures, but he didn't have time to get close to this mountain. I don't know how he ended up there, but I found him in a necromancer's dungeon. ”

The dwarves were even more silent, they misunderstood their old king, thought him to be a coward, and fled!

"I tried to rescue your father, but he became demented and lost almost all his memories except for this map and key," Gandalf said with some sadness, "but he remembers you, and I must give you this map and key!" ”

Thorin reached for the key on his chest, tears welling up in his eyes, he remembered his father, remembered that he had been tortured in the necromancer's prison to the point of losing his memory, but still remembered him, and for a moment he was overwhelmed with emotion.

Thorin touched the oak shield resting on his lap and said in a low voice, "The orc who killed my grandfather died at my hands!" I want to go to the necromancer, I'm going to kill him to avenge my father! ”

"That's right! Avenge! ”

"Revenge!"

12 The dwarves were excited, raising their arms and shouting!

Wang Yonghao listened for a long time, and then stopped them: "Even Gandalf and I can only barely save our lives in the face of that necromancer, even if you can regather all the dwarves, it will be in vain, or fulfill your father's last wish to deal with the evil dragon and recover your family's treasure land." ”

His words were really shocking enough to crush the enthusiasm of all thirteen dwarves at once!

But the hobbits were a little sleepy, and Bilbo Baggins said to them, "If you want me to say let's rest for the night now, and then talk about departure tomorrow morning!" ”

Wang Yonghao looked out the window and said to him, "Where is there a night for you to rest?" Look at the sky outside, the sun will be up in half an hour! ”

Only then did everyone realize that they had been talking secretly for hours in a nervous mood, and they were a little sleepy for a while!

"You rest for a while, I'll prepare breakfast for you, and we'll leave after breakfast!"

The crowd did not need a hobbit to arrange a place to live, but sat on the ground or lay flat on the spot, seizing the time to rest for a while before the sun rose.

Wang Yonghao said that he wanted to prepare food for them, but in fact, he just took some out of the backstage of Terra, which had not been sealed.

So there was some unfacted fact that he took out the subpage of the agreement that belonged to him and looked at the message on it.

"We are honoured to accept your professional assistance and to offer you the utmost sincerity we can provide, on the following conditions: cash, up to one-sixteenth of the net profit (if any), including all expenses incurred during the journey.

If events do not turn out as expected, we or our representatives will be solely responsible for the funeral costs......"

Bilbo Baggins probably never dreamed in his life that he would be involved in such an adventure, that the blood that represented the glory of the Tuck family had cooled, and that his stupid fever brain had returned to normal.

It would be impossible for him not to regret that he had just recklessly signed his name Bilbo Baggins on that contract.

So when he was holding his own sub-page and seeing the section on funeral expenses, Bilbo Baggins had insomnia!

The unsleepy hobbits did not pack their bags and prepare the daily items they needed to take out the door, nor did they think about the expedition of dragons and gold as they had just done.

In a panic, he took his subpage and found Wang Yonghao, a hobbit who had also not slept yet, wanting to get some comfort from him.

"Do you always go out? I don't know what the weather is like for this trip? ”

The hobbit clumsily found the topic, while hiding his own nervousness that anyone could see.

"Don't worry too much, I will take care of you if you go with me, whoever lets us be two hobbits among these sixteen!" Wang Yonghao comforted this nervous guy.

The two had nothing to say, and soon it was dawn, everyone got up for breakfast, and the expedition was about to depart.
