Gandalf didn't speak, but smoked his pipe in silence until a long time later, when he said, "We need help, Thorin, with the dwarves alone, and with only these dwarves, we can't recover your country, you have to know what we're up against, Thorin ......"
Thorin slapped the table hard and said, "But how do you know that these people are reliable?" My country, the kingdom of Yamashita, is rich enough to make the elves look sideways! How do you know if these people are reliable!? My kingdom cannot be ......"
Gandalf frowned and corrected: "It's the kingdom that hasn't been recovered, Thorin, you can't be rash, don't use your dwarven stubbornness at this time, the enemy we have to face is too strong, and the wealth you said is just a mirror in the water, you can't use the wealth you haven't gotten to doubt possible external help, you understand what I said, put away the pride of your king under the mountain, now, at least for now, you need all the power you can get to help!" ”
Thorin was silent, he looked at Chu Hao and the others with a scrutinizing gaze, and he no longer stopped Gandalf from taking out the map from his arms, and just like that, in everyone's eyes, an old map was spread on the table, this map was earthy yellow.
"In the far east, across mountains and rivers, through forests and deserts, there is a lone peak, and that is ......," Gandalf said, pointing to the map.
Bilbo stood behind Gandalf with a candle, and he looked at the map and read the words on it: "The name is Lone Mountain, Iruber." ”
One of the dwarves next to him said, "Yes, Quirin has seen the signs, and the prophecies say that when the former ravens fly back to the Lonely Mountain, the reign of the Demonic Beasts will end, and this is the time for us to reclaim our kingdom." ”
After Bilbo heard this, the kind of exploration ** in his blood came out again, and he asked curiously: "Warcraft? What Warcraft? ”
The other dwarf was smoking a cigarette, and he said as he breathed on the cigarette: "Warcraft refers to the most terrifying kind of Warcraft in the world, the dragon, the fire dragon Smaug, it is one of the most terrible disasters of the Second Age, it breathes fire, it can fly, its teeth are as sharp as razors, its claws are as sharp as steel hooks, and it is especially fond of precious metals, such as gold, silver, Mithril and so on......"
Bilbo nodded and said, "Yes, I know what a dragon is, I've read many novels with the adjective dragon in it, dragon ......"
Another dwarf stood up and shouted, "I'm not afraid of it, I'm going to knock it to the ground with a dwarven weapon, I'm not afraid of it!" ”
The surrounding dwarves also cheered up, and the oldest of the dwarves said: "Unfortunately, even if you use an army to fight it, you may not be able to succeed, it is a dragon, a fire dragon, and we don't have an army here, we only have thirteen people, well, plus the mercenaries who may have it, we only have more than twenty people, I really don't know how we can defeat this evil dragon alone." ”
There was a sudden uproar among the dwarves around him, and at this time, another dwarf slapped the table and said, "Although we are not many in number, we are all warriors, we are all elites, and don't forget jì, there is also a wizard in our team, Gandalf!" ”
One of the dwarves next to him also said, "Yes, Gandalf must have killed dragons for hundreds of years when he was younger, right?" Gandalf. ”
Gandalf hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uh, this, no, what I want to say is that these things have passed, so ......"
The dwarves did not give up, and they asked how many dragons Gandalf had killed, and Gandalf could only keep his mouth shut, not even the cigarette, suppressed in his nose and throat, while the dwarves made a noise and kept asking how many dragons he had killed.
The scene was already in chaos, and at this moment, Thorin slammed the table and shouted, "Enough! ”
Then he stood up and looked at all the dwarves, "Since we can see the signs that the ravens are flying back to the lonely mountain, do you think that others can't see it?" Now the rumors have begun to spread, the humans, the dwarves, and even the elves, they all say that the fire dragon Smaug has not appeared for sixty years, many people think that it has left the lonely mountain, or has died, many people are looking at the lonely mountain in the east, they are looking, they are guessing, I don't know when someone will come to our kingdom! ”
"So, are we going to sit here and watch others take the wealth of our ancestors, own our land, and occupy our homeland, or will we take advantage of the signs and reclaim our country and our Irubi!?"
Suddenly, all the dwarves shouted excitedly, and they slapped the table to express their feelings, as if the previous fear of the dragon had begun to dissipate.
Then the oldest dwarf said again: "Don't forget jì, everyone, the main gate of Irubor is sealed, and when we fled from Irub, it was sealed forever, and there was no way into the mountain, and even if we went to the lonely mountain, it would be in vain." ”
At this moment, Gandalf suddenly said, "Dear Balin, you may not be right. As he spoke, a key appeared in his hand, which looked dark gold, neither bronze nor gold, and it was impossible to tell what material it was made of.
Thorin seemed to know the key, and he looked at it and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get it?" ”
Gandalf exhaled and said, "It was Thorne who gave it to me, your father, who entrusted me with the custody of this key, and now, it is yours." ”
Thorin thoughtfully took the key, and a dwarf next to him said, "Since there is a key, there must be a door that it can open." ”
Gandalf nodded, and continued: "The corner of this map, this is here, and these runes represent a hidden passage to the bottom of the Lonely Mountain, where you can enter the interior of the Lonely Mountain. ”
The dwarves seemed to be excited, and one of the dwarves patted the dwarf on the shoulder who had just spoken and said, "There is another entrance, we can go back to the lonely mountain......"
Gandalf glanced at him and said, "If we can find it, the dwarven gate is invisible when closed, and it is difficult for us to find it, and the location of the gate is hidden on this map, it's just ...... It's a pity that I can't find it, and I can't decipher these words, but don't worry, someone in Middle-earth can find it, and decipher, this is my plan, let's go to Middle-earth first, of course, this requires concealment, after all, we can't let people know that we can enter the lonely mountain, and this journey also requires courage, after all, we are facing a fire dragon, when we find the hidden entrance, we can sneak into the lonely mountain, and in that narrow place, Whether or not the dragon Smaug is still there, we have a chance to defeat it, provided that ......"
One of the dwarves said, "If it's stealthy enough, we need a snitch, right?" ”
Bilbo listened to the words of the crowd, and he was already attentive, and he immediately answered: "Yes, a snitch, and it must be top-notch, so that it will not be discovered by the fire dragon." ”
Thorin pondered for a moment, then asked Bilbo, "So are you a snitch?" And it's top-notch. ”
Bilbo only came to his senses at this point, he looked left and right, confirmed that Thorin was asking him, and he quickly replied, "No, no, I'm not a snitch, I haven't stolen anything in my life, yes, I'm not a snitch." ”
The dwarves burst into laughter, and one of them said, "He said he was the top snitch." This caused more laughter.
Then the oldest dwarf said, "I am afraid I must agree with Mr. Bilbo, who is not a snitch, not even a warrior. ”
The other strongest dwarven warrior also responded: "I think so, he can neither fight, nor survive in the wild, nor even protect himself, he is of no use at all." ”
Bilbo was a little embarrassed, but he didn't have anything else to say, so he could only promise not to speak, and the dwarves began to laugh at Bilbo, and the words became more and more excessive, several times, even the three newcomer girls of the North Ice Continent team couldn't listen to it, and when they were about to interrupt their conversation, but the three of them were afraid that Chu Hao would be angry, so they could only do it there in a hurry, and at this moment, Gandalf stood up violently.
"Enough!"
Just as Gandalf said this, a huge momentum came in the air, this momentum was extremely large and condensed, for a while, all the sounds stopped, and even everyone in the Arctic Continent team felt the horror, and the only person in the team who seemed to be unaffected was Nian Xikong, who was still there taking small bites of some fruit.
"What if I say Bilbo? Baggins is a snitch, then he's a snitch! ”
The momentum came and went quickly, and when the momentum completely subsided, Gandalf turned into an ordinary-looking bad old man again, as if the previous momentum was a complete illusion.
"Hobbits have exceptionally sensitive legs and feet, they walk silently, and their actions can fool even any creature if they want to, this is a natural snitch, and don't forget jì!"
Gandalf sat down again, and he said seriously, "Smaug the fire dragon has been through great battles with you dwarves, and it has remembered the smell of your dwarves, but it has never been exposed to the smell of hobbits, so if you must act covertly, then the hobbits must be the best choice for you!" Thorin, this is the snitch I picked for you, and you, trust me. ”
Thorin stared at Gandalf for a long time before he said, "Well, in that case...... Give him the contract, and the mercenaries, and give them the rest. ”
The oldest dwarf took out two contracts from his bosom, both in ancient writing written on parchment, and handed one to Bilbo? Baggins, while the other was handed to Chu Hao.
Chu Hao took the contract, and was stunned for a moment, before he had time to take a closer look, the lawyer next to him, Nuohan, came over and said, "Captain, do you need my help?" Contracts or something, it's my old job. ”
Chu Hao handed the contract to Nohan with a complicated expression, but Nohan didn't have any abnormal expression at all, and he immediately understood that this was the voice of the main god that only the team captain could hear.
"The contract (vice) allows the reincarnation team to form an alliance with the team in the horror movie world, and there can be no violation within the terms of the contract, otherwise the violator will be wiped out by the main god (the plane consciousness)."
