Although extremely reluctant, in the end, Gandalf's carriage still had two more passengers, Qin Shao and Aljeta.

Maia and Vera are both Enu, both born in the mind of Iluvita, don't look at Maia as Vera's attendant and servant, but in essence, there is no difference between the two. Maia fears Vera, worships Vera, and rebels against Vera when it comes to their bottom line.

Because he can't see through it, Gandalf doesn't want to have too much contact with Qin Shao, who is suspected of being a Vera, but when it is unavoidable, he will not run away with his head like a coward!

"Two guests, Bilbo and I are also friends, but I have never heard him mention them, I wonder where they came from?"

The uncovered carriage creaked slowly along the flat road, and a gust of wind blew from the distant sky, startling the birds that preyed in the woods. A group of children chase the carriage and shout, but Gandalf ignores them.

"We have come from afar, and we will go afar. I heard that Bilbo had a prestigious treasure in his hands, so I came to see it and blessed him on his 111th birthday...... You should come back in a bigger carriage! ”

Maybe he didn't expect two passengers in his carriage, or maybe he had only rented it from a hobbit, and Gandalf's carriage was small enough to fit one person, but a little cramped for two. After some movement, Aljeta had to sit on Qin Shao's lap before he could take the two of them.

Hearing Qin Shao's answer, Gandalf's first thought was Bilbo's Mithril robe.

Weapons made of Mithril are hard to find in Middle-earth, and the one in Bilbo's hand is made of rings made of Mithril material, with the elasticity of cloth and the same temperature as ice, tough as dragon scales, and light as a feather. It's that the wealth of the entire Shire is concentrated together, and it is not as precious as it!

However, thinking of Qin Shao's unfathomable strength, he ruled out this idea. Only the weak need protection, and a person like him, even with Mithril treasures on his legs, is also useless when encountering enemies of the same level, as long as he can't cover his whole body, he can pierce his sword through the gap!

"Of the hobbits, this one is the largest. Even if I wanted to, they wouldn't have anything bigger for me to trade. Gandalf took a few puffs of tobacco and puffed out the clouds.

The Waterfront Road is one of the main roads of the Shire, running from east to west throughout the Shire. The Pocket Bottom Cave, where Bilbo is located, is located in the upper part of the Shire, not far from the woods where Frodo is located.

After the two talked for a few words, the atmosphere fell into calm, Gandalf did not find out Qin Shao's origin, and Qin Shao would not take the initiative to tell him, the scenery between heaven and earth was just right, and several people enjoyed the scenery in the shaking of the carriage.

Exotic, this is a word that Qin Shao will appear every time he opens a new world, even the clone world that is closest to the real world will give him a strange and novel feeling.

And the charr, where the hobbits live, undoubtedly brought him a deeper sense of novelty.

Each world has its own beauty, and this feeling is experienced by everyone who travels through the world, and Aljeta is no exception.

Sitting on Qin Shao's lap, the tip of her nose was only a stone's throw away from Qin Shao's cheek, and she could even feel the touch of her long silver hair as it crossed Qin Shao's ear. In her memory, she had never been so close to any man except her brother.

The familiar breath intoxicated her, just like the kindness that wafted from the thin air three thousand meters away when they first met, and broke through the closed door of her heart in an instant!

The bright sunshine and the small bridge and flowing water add a quiet and timeless atmosphere, and the delicate low houses and the lazy hobbits lying on the chairs with pipes in their hands complement each other, forming a different picture.

"It would be nice if we could keep going like this." Aljeta whispered with her head down.

But time did not change with her mind, it still flowed unhurriedly, as if in a moment, as if a century, the carriage finally stopped.

Gandalf jumped out of the car and said, "The Shire have fertile water and grass, and the hobbits have lived here for generations, and I hope your arrival will not break their lives." This is the Bag Bottom Pit, where a hobbit lived, and where Bilbo's home was. If you want to go now, I can show you the way. ”

Qin Shao patted Aljeta's shoulder, who was still immersed in his own world, and Aljeta jumped up like a frightened cat.

"Old friends reminisce, it's inconvenient to disturb, I have time, don't rush at this moment."

"In that case, then we'll leave first." Gandalf gave Qin Shao a salute to each of them, and then turned around and left with Frodo.

The Ring was forged by Sauron alone in Mount Doom, and the ring was infused with most of his power and brutal thoughts, and he had his own independent consciousness, which could be said to be half a living being. However, its power is not strong, at least for users who are not recognized by the Ring, it can only make it invisible and prolong its life and longevity.

It was because Qin Shao only wanted to see the magic ring purely, and he didn't mean to plunder. A person who is less than a god-level cultivator uses ordinary materials, even if he infuses most of his strength, he will not be able to forge a treasure.

Since he didn't snatch it, there was nothing to worry about, Qin Shao knew that at the birthday party, Bilbo would use the magic ring to stealthily and then escape, and then he could see the same, the difference was only in the morning and evening.

"The charre's tobacco is good, and the food is far inferior to the name of tobacco on the mainland, but it also has a different flavor. On the way, I saw a restaurant at the entrance of the village, would you like to try it? Qin Shao proposed.

"Hobbit food? Will there be tobacco residue in it? Aljeta said with some concern.

"There may be when entertaining their own people, but we are guests, and according to their character, we will not make such a lowly mistake."

Although throwing tobacco in a meal is not as good as throwing flies, it is also a sundry, unless it is a black shop, otherwise Qin Shao can be sure that the chance of them eating tobacco is definitely lower than winning the lottery!

And when Qin Shao and the two walked into the restaurant, and plates of dishes appeared on the table, the staff of the restaurant also proved that they had no luck in winning the lottery.

But Sam next to the two of them has it!

"Distinguished guests, tobacco with beer is a delicacy in the world, and it's a shame that you don't enjoy it!" Sam said as he swayed as he held a glass of beer.

"Do you hobbits have a gathering place other than the Shire?" Qin Shao asked.

"There are quite a few people in the far hills to the west, the south hills to the east, Breland, and the area south of Charbourne. We hobbits don't like to travel far, and these places are the furthest we've ever reached, except for Bilbo, who, sixty years ago, had gone to the Iron Hills east of the Erid Misling Mountains! Sam didn't hesitate and replied immediately.

Yuangang and Nangang are around the Charles, and Brelan is a gathering place for the Terrans, which is also close to the Charles, and it is not surprising that there are hobbits in these places. As long as they didn't often run around to Linton, further west, Qin Shao didn't have to worry about the Holy Alliance's army being exposed to the sight of the various clans in Middle-earth.

"How many humans are there on the site of Arno?"

Sam, who was drunk, looked like he knew everything and said everything, and after gulping a glass of beer into his stomach, he said: "It's not much, the kingdom of Arno has been restored and disintegrated several times, after the kingdom of Angmar established by the Witch King of Angmar broke up the restored Arno again, until now, there has been no sign of restoration of the kingdom of Arno, and the human gathering places in the territory are also divided and ruled, and they do not belong to each other. The population has not been counted, but it is about four million, perhaps less. ”

"The population has really increased!" Qin Shao said secretly in his heart.

From the distance between Linton and Shire, combined with the map of the entire territory of Middle-earth, Qin Shao came to the conclusion that Middle-earth was twice as large as Altria. This is a full tenfold increase compared to the original area of 3.6 million square kilometers of Middle-earth Continent!

As the area expanded, so did the population of Middle-earth, with the decayed Arno alone having a population of four million, not counting the two human kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan, as well as the elves and other races in Mordor, the Dark Forest, Lorian, and Rivendell.

Qin Shao estimated that if the total population of the Zhongzhou Continent were all combined, its number would be close to or even more than 30 million!

After so many years of development and migration, the world of Dragon Nest has only 30 million people today. Middle-earth is twice the size of the Altrian continent, the size of four Americans, and has a population of 30 million.

Qin Shao waved his hand, called the boss in front of him, then took out a gem, and said, "Boss, I asked for this guest's wine money, this gem is enough to buy this restaurant, I only have one request, let him drink until he vomits!" ”

"Drink until you vomit?!"

Sam's original swaying body suddenly straightened up, for a hobbit, there is nothing more happy for a hobbit than drinking until he vomits, smoking until he is dumb, and eating until he is sick to his stomach, even if he is given a peerless beauty!

Happiness came so suddenly that Sam pinched his thigh in disbelief, and the pain immediately reached his brain—it was real!

"Honorable guests, your kindness is like the sun in the sky, and your heart is like the sea in the distance, I wish you will never be troubled by troubles and tormented by sickness!" Sam's nose twitched, his tone sincere and sincere.

This is a blessing for a hobbit.
