Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Adventure Begins

In the early morning, in the grove outside Habitun, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on the grass in speckles. The forest is quiet, and the crisp birdsong is heard from time to time.

Suddenly, a seemingly murderous aura came, startling birds and birds.

Fifteen figures were slowly driving their horses, sitting on their mounts, and walking beyond the Charr.

There were three of them, led by a young and handsome human man in the middle, flanked by a dwarf and an old human man.

It was Zhang Shuo, Gandalf, and the thirteen dwarves.

Last night, when Zhang Shuo said that he was going to the Lonely Mountain to meet the long-known dragon of Middle-earth, all the dwarves and Gandalf were stunned.

Thorin obviously didn't expect to recruit an obviously powerful comrade so easily, but out of caution and protection against Zhang Shuo, Thorin finally signed a contract of duty and power with Zhang Shuo.

Zhang Shuo has to become a scout and warrior in the team, and according to the contract, if Zhang Shuo can kill Smaug, he will have half of the wealth of the kingdom under the mountain!

After a period of deliberation and questioning by Zhang Shuo, Gandalf finally decided that his final goal was to be with Bilbo. Baggins spoke, and when he learned that he might face the dragon Smaug, Bilbo fainted.

After being doused with a glass of water by Zhang Shuo, Bilbo immediately persuaded Zhang Shuo: "Mr. Shuo, I know you like adventure, but you must know that it is a huge fire dragon, we hobbits believe in a truth, if you don't look for trouble, trouble won't come to you"

After Bilbo finished what he wanted to say in one breath, Zhang Shuo patted Bilbo. Baggins shouldered and said: "Baggins, this world is very big, but it is also very small, if a person does not go out for a walk, then he can't imagine how many meaningful things in this world are waiting for him to do, how many beautiful scenery are waiting for him to see, I just need to continue to use various adventures and experiences to prove the meaning of my life!" “

This is what he said in his heart, Zhang Shuo longed for adventure and conquest in his bones, so after obtaining the main god space, he immediately began to cross. After persuading, Zhang Suo didn't say much, but went back to the bedroom to make up for sleep, and recalled the plot by the way.

Thorin, Gandalf, and the others discussed plans until late at night. With Zhang Shuo as a strong teammate, Thorin and Gandalf will definitely have to change their original plans.

As for Bilbo's hesitation as the original Snitch candidate, Gandalf and Thorin didn't care much about it......

At this time, the crowd was walking through the woods, and Gandalf and the thirteen dwarves were arguing about whether Bilbo would come by himself.

Of course, with the exception of Gandalf and Zhang Shuo, the other dwarves still didn't believe in the courage of the weak hobbit.

No one could convince anyone, and Groyin suddenly said, "Why don't we make a bet!" Bet on whether this hobbit will show up! ”

"How much is the bet?"

"Of course it'......"

Dwalin suddenly shouted, "Quiet! ”

The corners of Zhang Shuo's mouth curled, and sure enough, the protagonist is the protagonist, and Bilbo still caught up.

"Mr. Shuo! Gandalf~" Everyone turned around and saw that behind them, Bilbo was sweating after him and the others.

"Nope! No! Our bet hasn't been made yet, so it doesn't count! ”

"Uh, did I tell me?"

“……”

Thorin smiled and asked Nori to give Bilbo a pony that was suitable for the dwarven body and had more stamina than ordinary horses, just as strong as dwarves were strong.

Bilbo took the reins awkwardly, in fact, he thought that the pony was so hairy, and it was not clean, he would be allergic!

Gandalf said earnestly to Bilbo, "Bilbo, your home has been left behind before the end of our journey, and the world is in front of you, so be sure to keep up with your team!" ”

Bilbo nodded; "Okay, Gandalf."

The Lonely Mountain is roughly located a little north to the east of the Shire, separated by vast meandering wilderness, towering misty mountains, and vast and dense dark forests.

Therefore, everyone had to start from Habiton, cross the Brandy River from the Brandy Bridge through the East End Forest, and then cross the range of the old woods to the Prancing Horse Hotel in Bray Town, and from here they embarked on the Oriental Avenue to their destination.

The Prancing Horse Inn is also mentioned in The Lord of the Rings, where Aragorn appeared and saved Frodo.

After arriving at the Prancing Horse Inn in Bray Town, the group rested there.

The dwarves, in particular, drank beer and joked loudly in the lobby. Because they don't know how long it will take for them to come into contact with this refreshing beer again.

Of course, they discreetly did not mention anything about the venture.

After relaxing, the whole adventuring party began to work again, preparing all kinds of supplies more completely, because of this shimmering storage space, this time the dwarves loaded almost all the food and weapons they could prepare.

If it weren't for Zhang Shuo's famous words, only food and weapons would be loaded, otherwise, the dwarves would even want to bring more stinky clothes.

During the journey, Gandalf proposed to go to Rivendell as in the original book to find Elond, the elven king of Rivendell, because the information about the back door of the secret passage of the lonely mountain was recorded and hidden in the map, but the map, only a few people in the entire Middle-earth 6 could understand, and Elund's elven king Elon of Rivendell was one of them.

It's just that Thorin has a lot of resentment towards the elves, because when the lonely mountain was broken by the fire dragon Smaug, the king of the elven woodland kingdom did not lend a helping hand to save him, and Thorin believes that a large part of the reason for the destruction of the lonely mountain is that the elves did not rescue according to the covenant of the year, so he has no good impression of all the elves.

Zhang Shuo knew that on the last day of autumn, the moonlight would shine on the keyhole at night. But seeing the way Thorin and Gandalf were arguing, Zhang Shuo didn't bother to interject.

It is precisely because of Thorin that they insist on not going to Rivendell that they can meet trolls, and in the nest of trolls, they find a number of sophisticated weapons, and Zhang Shuo is also very curious about the weapons created by the High Elves in this magical world.

"It's not like you, Thorin, what the hell are you afraid of?" Gandalf couldn't convince Thorin and said angrily.

"It has nothing to do with you? Gandalf! Thorin said without hint of weakness.

"You, you're unreasonable!"

Sure enough, as in the original book, after a quarrel, Gandalf left the group in a rage, and Bilbo looked at Zhang Shuo, and saw that he didn't move, so he didn't squeak and ask.

As a result, the whole team just silently watched Gandalf leave, and no one stopped him. This chilled Gandalf even more.

Without Gandalf, Thorin and the others chose to move on.

In the evening, after the dinner had been cooked, the dwarf, who was in charge of guarding the horses, said that he had lost two horses.

Zhang Shuo knew that the horse had been captured by the troll, so Zhang Shuo suddenly got up and said, "I'll go and see, you guys are waiting here." ”

"Okay, Mr. Shuo is out, we are all relieved!" Solin Road.

For Zhang Shuo's combat power, Solin knows very well, and what can make Zhang Shuo take the initiative to come forward, there must be something hidden in the disappearance of the sycophant. quietly glanced at his subordinates and motioned for them to follow.

At this time, Zhang Shuo's figure flashed several times in the forest, and he had already reached the place of light. Then he saw three trolls, who had grabbed several horses, lit a bonfire, and were about to eat them.

Can you give me back my horses, several? With his hands behind his back, Zhang Shuo had no intention of hiding, and walked out directly and said to the three trolls.

"Wow, it's actually a human being, it looks like it's much better than the meat of these two horses" The three trolls who were barbecuing, when they saw Zhang Shuo, their eyes lit up, and they looked like they had seen food.

"Okay, communication failed, let me see what the trolls of this world are capable of!"

Zhang Shuo helplessly spread his hands, and immediately slammed his feet, swung his right palm to the ground, and then pushed forward, and the more and more skillful dragon descending palm was instantly used.

"Shocked!"

A loud dragon roar resounded through the deep forest, and the surging palm power, once launched, split into three in the air, striking at the three trolls respectively.
