Li took up residence at Bilbo's home. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Luan's physical injuries were well recovered, and with the help of recovery potions, it only took two days for Li Luwei to be able to go to the ground, which made Bilbo, who had been paying attention to Li Luan, cry out for miracles, but Li Luan's mental injuries were different, and the overdraft of mental power shook the foundation of Li Luan's mental power, and the recovery was very slow, so it took a long process.
At this time, Li Luwei had been living at Bilbo's house for a whole month.
In the past month, Li Luwei and Bilbo have become very familiar.
To be honest, whether it is Bilbo or the hobbit race, their talents have made Li Zhiwei admire.
It is true that in the hearts of the people of Middle-earth, the hobbits are useless, weak, timid, and lazy, and the only thing they can do is to have a very good crop cultivation technique, even if the hobbits spend very little time a day taking care of the crops (most of the time is spent eating and playing), they can also get a good harvest. In fact, it is right to think about it, according to the record of hobbits who have at least six meals a day, they cannot go out to hunt and gather, and if they can't grow crops, they will starve to death.
But in Li Luan's eyes, the talent of the hobbit is undoubtedly much better.
After Li Zhiwei's research, it was found that hobbits have keen eyesight, superb hearing, and the ability to move quickly, they are born to hide themselves quickly and silently, and their speed of action seems to be magic in the eyes of humans, which is simply a natural thief and scout. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the hobbits who do not have strong combat effectiveness, if they want to live in this war-torn Middle-earth, must have their own ability to survive, and their professional skills that come and go without a trace are half out of talent and half out of hard work.
Of course, these talents are not enough to attract Li Luan's attention, even if the hobbits' hidden skills are good, they have no magical power, and they have nothing to hide under Li Luan's witchcraft.
What really caught Li Luan's attention was the hobbit's spiritual talent.
The most important thing for a wizard is the spirit, and the excellence of the hobbit is precisely in the spirit.
The spirit of the hobbit is strong, and the will is tenacious, so that Li Luwei can't help but admire it, if it weren't for the fact that the hobbit's mental power is not high, Li Luwei would have thought that the hobbit was born to reach the height of a first-class official wizard.
This is fully illustrated in the original plot.
Bilbo's grandfather, Tuck Sr., is the only known person who can resist the corruption of the One Ring; Smigo, who is also a hobbit, was also corrupted into a monster "Gollum" by the One Ring after getting the One Ring, but pay attention to this time, it is a full 500 years, and compare how much time it took several human kings who were also corrupted by the One Ring into a ring spirit, you can see how tenacious the spiritual willpower of this "Gollum" is. Again, look at Bilbo? Baggins, also a hobbit, wore the One Ring for fifty or sixty years, although at the age of 111 he became obsessed with the Ring, suffered from insomnia and "felt as if it were drying up", and when Gandalf advised him to give up the Ring and give him a head drink, Bilbo eventually agreed to give up the Ring. After that, Bilbo's nephew and the protagonist of the next episode of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo, resisted the erosion of the One Ring and destroyed the One Ring with his own hands. How many people can give up on the One Ring after possessing him? Throughout history, only these three people from the Hobbit family, whether they are humans, dwarves, elves or wizards, they cannot, and those with strong mental willpower will refuse to have the One Ring, or even touch it, because they are afraid that they will not be able to resist the temptation of the One Ring, and those with weak mental willpower are even more fascinated by it at a glance, and fight to the death with their partners in order to get the One Ring.
With this kind of spiritual willpower, if it is placed on ordinary people, there will definitely be a large number of wizards who will rush to accept apprentices, because it means that he has no bottleneck before breaking through to the first-level official wizard, even if it is the future promotion path, at least before the fourth-level great wizard, it is definitely much easier than others.
But success is also Xiao He defeated Xiao He, such an excellent talent, the bad thing is that it appears in the hobbit.
Hobbits like tranquility and peace, hate troublesome things, and are content to enjoy them, and spiritual meditation is undoubtedly very boring, which is comparable to the pain of not being able to eat for hobbits, so no hobbit will suffer this kind of sin in order to become a wizard.
Take Bilbo as an example, after seeing Li Luan's magical power, he once wanted to learn, and Li Luwei was not stingy with professors, but after a few days of perseverance, Bilbo couldn't stand it anymore and retreated directly. Bilbo is already considered an outlier among hobbits, and if he puts it on an ordinary hobbit, he won't be able to hold out for even a day.
Tyrannical Creatures!
This is Li Zhiwei's final evaluation of the hobbit.
However, even if he is very forced in his heart, but everyone has their own ambitions, Li Luwei will not force it, which will not hinder the normal friendship between Li Luwei and Bilbo.
On this day, after enjoying an exquisite breakfast with Bilbo, Li Luwei went out for a walk, he wanted to collect some information about Middle-earth, and also check the resources of Middle-earth by the way.
Bilbo, on the other hand, was smoking a cigarette leisurely on the recliner in front of his house.
The breeze gently supported Bilbo's face, a little flower fragrance surrounded the tip of his nose, holding his beloved pipe, taking a beautiful puff, Bilbo closed his eyes comfortably.
That's life! That's the life of a hobbit!
Bilbo likes the feeling now, the warm sun on his body, which makes Bilbo feel comfortable and want to sleep.
But fate played a joke on Bilbo again, and according to the clichΓ©, the gears of fate had already begun to turn.
Just as Bilbo was enjoying his life, an old man dressed in a gray robe and holding a long staff quietly appeared at Bilbo's doorstep.
The old man looked at the smoke ring that Bilbo spit out, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, with a light touch of his finger, the smoke ring turned into a butterfly shape, flapping its wings, vivid, and immediately attracted Bilbo's attention.
Looking at this old man with a long beard, Bilbo was very puzzled, who was he? I certainly don't know this person, at least not in my memory.
Bilbo and the old man looked at each other and didn't speak for a long time, which made Bilbo a little embarrassed.
Perhaps, should I say hello first?
Although he was very embarrassed, Bilbo still decided to take the initiative to speak, and straightened his clothes strong and calm, and Bilbo took the lead in saying hello, "Good morning?" β
After saying that, Bilbo felt more embarrassed, and the strange atmosphere made Bilbo feel that he should get out of here, so Bilbo turned around, and he was going home.
"Good morning? What do you mean? Is this a greeting to me, or is it meant to say, whether I like it or not, this morning is good? Or do you mean to say that you are feeling good this morning? Or did you simply say 'good morning'? β
The old man was obviously a little abnormal, crackling a long list of words, and Bilbo was stunned for a moment.
I'll go, how do I know what it means, it's just a simple greeting, you actually gave me so many meanings, you can't be a crazy person, or do you, there really is something wrong with your brain, Bilbo complained silently in his heart.
But undoubtedly, the old man's words still made Bilbo very embarrassed, and in order to break this embarrassment, Bilbo had to answer, "Is there anything you need my help with?" β
"I don't know, maybe I need your help, I'm looking for someone to go on an adventure with me."
The old man's gaze was very deep, this was a gaze full of wisdom, especially the faint smile on the corner of the old man's mouth, which was a very satisfied expression, but the old man's satisfaction made Bilbo's heart uneasy.
"Adventure? No, no, no, sorry, I guess you won't find anyone here who is interested in taking risks, which tend to represent disgust, criminals, danger, and all the uncomfortable things, and it will also make you lose the time and energy to eat dinner. "Well, maybe that last sentence is what Bilbo is saying.
Bilbo felt like he still didn't want to keep talking to this crazy guy, what? How do you know this guy is a lunatic? Isn't it a madman who would say such outlandish things? Not crazy, who would want to go on an adventure with a hobbit who is not good at fighting?
Pulling his letter out of his mailbox, Bilbo shrugged his shoulders and said "good morning" before turning around and going back to his home, he didn't want to have any more trouble with the strange old man.
As if angered by Bilbo's attitude, the old man frowned, "I can't imagine, Brother Bon? Barggins' kid would think I'm a liar! Good morning? Bilbo, I have to say, you have changed, and it is not for the better. β
Bilbo was stunned again, he didn't exchange names with the other party, this strange old man actually knew his name, and he also knew his father's name, who was this strange old man?
"Who are you? We knew each other before? β
"You may remember my name, but I think you've forgotten what I am, I'm Gandalf."
That's right, this old man is the first supporting role in the whole plot, a big supporting role who is more than the protagonist, the incarnation of the sub-god Maia, one of the five wizards sent by the main god to save Middle-earth, and finally one of the absolute main forces to destroy the dark lord Sauron, known as Dry Tofu, and Gandalf who is still a gray-robed wizard.
