Bilbo's words made Gandalf lose his mind for a long time, and he looked at his friend in disbelief, as if he had known him on the first day.

"Why, I told you about your sore spots! I knew you had been peeking at my ring and you wanted to keep it for yourself! Bilbo smiled sinisterly, the laughter was so strange to Gandalf's ears.

"Shut up, Bilbo! I'm not a charlatan, and I have no intention of taking your love! ”

Gandalf said excitedly, the whole room was deprived of light, and only Gandalf's angry words resounded in the room: "Bilbo, don't be deceived by the power of the ring, or you will only perish!" Think of what you yourself said, you said you would leave the ring to your dearest Frodo, and never be tempted by the ring again! ”

"Give the ring to Frodo!"

The corners of Bilbo's mouth twitched as he roared, this was the first time Gandalf had been angry with him, it turned out that wizards were so terrible when they were angry.

"My friend, I really want to help you."

Gandalf also noticed the difference in his tone, he rubbed his eyebrows, and smiled a little self-deprecatingly: "We have known each other for most of our lives, and I have always believed that you can resist the temptation of the ring, why don't you believe me again?" Know that we never had a disagreement! ”

Belief and trust had always been Bilbo's credo with his friends, and at Gandalf's roar, Bilbo came to his senses and looked at his hands with a frown, as if wondering how he could have said something like that.

"Bilbo, are you willing to believe me once?" Gandalf's tone was a little low, and he didn't even look Bilbo in the eye.

"Gandalf! I, what did I do! Feeling Gandalf's low demeanor, Bilbo woke up.

He took two steps forward and hugged Gandalf tightly, and said with self-reproach: "Gandalf, I believe in you, we are best friends. I'm going to leave the ring to Frodo, just like I said in my letter! ”

Bilbo and Gandalf hugged each other, feeling countless memories of each other welling up in their hearts, Gandalf smiled with relief: "Bilbo, I knew you wouldn't be tempted by the power of the ring, I shouldn't doubt you!" ”

"Uncle Bilbo, Gandalf! What's wrong with you guys? ”

As the two of them were silent in their memories of the past, Frodo, who had put Gandalf's luggage away, pushed open the door and saw the difference between the two at a glance.

"Nothing, good boy!" Bilbo quietly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and changed the topic: "How is the banquet prepared, I don't want to get drunk today!" ”

As soon as Bilbo asked about the banquet, Frodo also put the consternation behind him and said excitedly: "It's completely ready, many guests are now arriving, and the banquet will start soon!" ”

The excited smile on Frodo's face infected the two Gandalf, and they both looked at each other with a smile, and Bilbo waved his hand and said, "Prepare more beer and barbecue, today is a big day, we don't want to get drunk!" ”

Bilbo's pun on the big day was a pun, but Frodo didn't understand the meaning of the words, but happily answered, and then turned and ran out.

"What do you think of Frodo?" Bilbo looked in the direction of the doorway and asked Gandalf beside him.

Gandalf put his pipe back on his mouth and said, "Very nice lad, like you did when you were younger!" ”

"Let's go, go to the banquet. Such a great young man deserves my favorite Kui Bao! Frodo was so satisfied that he nodded at Gandalf as if he had made a difficult choice.

Gandalf didn't seem to understand Frodo's words, and asked, "Do you really want to give that ring to Frodo?" ”

This time, Frodo nodded without hesitation, and the reluctance just now: "I've always thought so, but you just misunderstood what I meant!" ”

"What, you don't believe it?" Seeing that Gandalf was a little dumbfounded, Frodo looked at him defiantly.

"No, I've always believed in my friend!" Gandalf shook his head and walked out side by side with a wry-smiling Frodo.

Outside, the sky had darkened, and countless lanterns and bonfires lit up the meadow.

Many of the hobbits who arrived at the banquet sat together in twos and threes. With beer in their hands and pipes in their mouths, they all raised their hands to Frodo as he walked out of the room, and even clapped their hands and cheered.

Gandalf looked at the crowd and patted Bilbo on the shoulder. Bilbo looked around, stepped forward in front of the crowd, grabbed a beer, and stood on a wooden barrel.

"Bilbo! Bilbo! Bilbo"

All those who had come to the banquet cheered loudly as Bilbo stood on the barrel, cheering his name and raising their glasses enthusiastically.

"I want to thank all my friends who attended the banquet today!" Bilbo raised his glass in cheers and pointed his hand to the crowd: "Welcome to the Bo Splitter!" ”

"Oooh!" The named Bo Splitter bowed slightly to applause, and then drank the beer from his glass under Bilbo's gaze.

"Tuke's house!"

The crowd once again drank a glass of wine to the cheers of the Tuke family members as they stood up.

"The House of the Deer, the House of Gruber, the House of the Trumpeter, the House of the Borg"

One family name after another was called out by Bilbo, and the earth-shattering cheers mingled with laughter as they slowly drifted off into the distance.

"Today is my 111th birthday, thank you all for coming to my birthday party. I've been living with you for a century, but I still feel that time is too short, because there are still many of you who I can't give up and don't want to give up! ”

Bilbo looked very emotional, and Frodo and Gandalf, who were standing together, glanced at each other, and both saw a knowing smile in each other's eyes.

Fireworks were lit up and the night sky was lit up with colorful light, and everyone watched in fascination, smiling and sharing the food on the table, listening to Bilbo's passionate speech.

"Really, I'm really reluctant to let you go. I can't bear to drink with you, and I can't bear to let go of my beloved little Frodo! Bilbo changed his words in the middle of his speech, leaving Frodo, who was called by name, stunned.

Bilbo waved to Frodo, who was standing beside Gandalf, and the eyes of the entire banquet were on him.

"Go, your Uncle Bilbo has something to say to you!" Gandalf nudged Frodo, pushing him towards the center of the venue.

Frodo was a little shy under the friendly gaze of everyone, and walked up to Bilbo's side step by step, and whispered, "Happy birthday, Uncle Bilbo!" ”

"Good boy!" In the middle of his sentence, Bilbo was already in tears, smiling and stroking Frodo's head, and slowly raised his arm under the gaze of everyone.

"Today is a day of great joy. Not only is it my 111th birthday, but it's also the day I declare my legacy! ”

Bilbo glanced down as he spoke, and unlike many exclaims, his friend Gandalf was smiling in satisfaction.

Seeing his friend's encouraging smile, Bilbo took a deep breath and announced loudly, "I declare that everything I have will be inherited by my nephew Frodo!" ”

"Whew!" The young hobbit howled and the others raised their glasses and waved their arms at Frodo, pushing the scene to ** for a while.

"Be quiet, everyone, be quiet!" Bilbo waved his hand after a moment of cheering, and after a moment of silence, under Gandalf's encouraging gaze, he released an even more exciting message.

"Everything I just said is not my most cherished treasure. As my heir, I have something even more precious to pass on in the presence of an important person! ”

Countless hobbits who had come to the banquet were shocked, and everyone looked at Bilbo with incredible eyes, as did Gandalf who stepped forward.

"Child, you are my pride!" Bilbo nodded lightly as he looked at Gandalf coming up, reached into his underwear with trembling hands, and pulled out a ring in the midst of all the attention.

There were many expressions in Bilbo's eyes, reluctant, sad, relieved, and happy.

All kinds of contradictory complex emotions were staged one after another in Bilbo's eyes, but these expressions finally turned into a smile: "Frodo, in fact, you are the biggest Kui Bao in my life!" ”

The golden ring was grabbed by the wide palm, and Bilbo and Frodo's hands were tightly closed, and the picture was now immortalized.

"The Lord of the Rings, Frodo, Your Majesty"

A faint hoarse sigh rang out in his ears, and Frodo, who was being grabbed by Bilbo's arm, looked to the side to meet the smirking face of his friend Sam.

"Did I hear me wrong?" Frodo thought so, and was drowned out in the earth-shattering cheers.
