Chapter 250: Birthday Banquet and the One Ring (Part I)
"Have a cup of tea? Or a drink or two? Closing the door, Bilber asked, taking Gandalf's magic hat and staff, placing them away.
"I have a few good bottles of good old wine from 1926, very good vintage, almost as old as me, my dad treasured it, how about opening one?" Bilber said with a smile as he ran into the passage.
"I'll just drink tea, thank you!" Gandalf responded, taking two steps back, but bumped into the hanging chandelier, startling Gandalf.
Then he carefully straightened it, turned around, and accidentally hit the beam with his head, and couldn't help but cry out in pain.
made Lin Yifeng and Susan couldn't help but snicker.
"You know, I'm too tall." Looking at Lin Yifeng and Susan, Gandalf touched his forehead and said with a smile.
But this is indeed true, Gandalf's height is even a little taller than Lin Yifeng.
"You should have arrived last week, you've always wanted to come and go, but I was a little caught off guard, there was only frozen chicken and pickled cucumbers and cheese at home, no, it was shabby, I had raspberry jam and apple pie, but there would be no leftovers Oh, no, we have no problem, I found some sponge cakes."
Bilber, who was busy inside, was busy talking to himself loudly while he was busy.
Gandalf, on the other hand, was observing Bilber's house closely, while Lin Yifeng and Susan were following behind Gandalf.
Pick up a wooden frame from the table with a somewhat torn yellowed piece of paper on it. Drawn on it is a map with a giant dragon hovering over a volcano, with the word Lonely Mountain written next to it.
"I can boil a few eggs." Bilber walked out with a plate of bread inside, Bilber had a strange look on his face, only Susan and Lin Yifeng were in front of him, and Gandalf was gone.
But Lin Yifeng and Susan were a little surprised, and Gandalf disappeared directly into the eyes of Lin Yifeng and Susan, and appeared on the other side of the wall.
"Tea will do, thank you." Poking his head out from behind Bilber, Gandalf said with a smile.
"Okay." He looked back with a smile on his face. Bilber said, "Come on." You two, although it is a little shabby, but I think the evening, it will make you feel that you have come to the right place. ”
"Mind if I eat first?" After speaking. Bilber tore off a loaf of bread. He said as he looked at Gandalf.
"Eat it." Laughing. Sitting on the bench, Gandalf said.
"Knock knock!" At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Bilber's name is on the outside.
"Say I'm not home! I was so disturbed by these mortal relatives that I wanted to see the towering mountains again, and then find a quiet place to write a book! Suddenly Bilber became agitated, put down the plate in his hand, walked to the kitchen window, and then turned to Gandalf and said.
"Oh, the tea is rolling!"
"Are you really going to make your plan come true?" Looking at the busy Bilber, Gandalf said.
"Yes, everything is planned, I've arranged it all." Holding the teapot and pouring four cups of tea, Bilber said.
Frodo became suspicious. Looking at Bilber, Gandalf said.
"Of course, he's from the Baggins family, not a stupid kid with a hard bottle." Nodding, Bilber said. (Hardbottle, a place name in Middle-earth.) )
"You'll tell him." Looking at Bilber, Gandalf said.
"Yes."
"He likes you very much."
"I know."
Suddenly, Bilber's mood was a little low, and he paced back and forth: "If I spoke, he would go with me, but he still loved the Shire's home with all his heart, the green woods and meadows, the babbling stream, I am old, Gandalf, although I don't look old, but my heart is old." Walking towards Gandalf, Bilber's right hand unconsciously inserted into his pocket, and his index finger and thumb were placed in it, as if grasping something.
Seeing this scene, Gandalf couldn't help but stare at Bilber's movements, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"My will has become very weak, everything is tasteless, like bread is not buttered enough, I need a long vacation, I don't plan to come back, I am determined not to come back." As if it were a different person, he looked at the closed window and whispered Bilber.
"I'm sorry for making you laugh, I don't think you tell anyone about me." Standing up, as if he had returned to the same Bilber just now, he looked at Lin Yifeng and Susan Dao.
"Of course." Nodding slightly, Lin Yifeng said.
"Oh, great, I guess I'll have to go out and get some stuff up, even though I'll run into those annoying relatives." Standing up, Bilber said with a smile at Gandalf.
If it was a normal Gandalf who would have stopped Bilber, but this time Gandalf didn't.
"You're right, he doesn't look normal." When Bilber left the house, Gandalf looked at Lin Yifeng and said.
"I admire him." Nodding slightly, Lin Yifeng said to Gandalf.
"Huh?" Gandalf wondered.
"What a strong willpower, what a strong belief in carrying the One Ring with him for decades, but still being able to keep his heart and not be tempted by the One Ring and fall, what a strong willpower, what a strong faith, shouldn't I admire him?" Looking at Gandalf, Lin Yifeng spoke.
"If that's really the legendary One Ring, then he's something to be admired." At this moment, Gandalf finally believed in Lin Yifeng and Susan.
He didn't see the ring, but even from Bilber's appearance, Gandalf could tell that the magic ring wasn't a pretty thing.
At least it was capable of demagoguery, and it was inconceivable that Gandalf could not have imagined if his old friend had not been able to keep his heart in his heart for decades, and had been seduced and degenerated.
"You should ask Bilber for the ring and take a look at it, and you'll understand. It's all true, not speculation. Looking at Gandalf, Lin Yifeng said to him.
In fact, Lin Yifeng also wanted to take a look at the legendary Supreme Demon Ring that could lure people to depravity.
The Supreme Ring contains the huge magic power of the Demon Lord Sauron, and if you get the Supreme Ring, you can get the supreme power, this is the introduction of the Supreme Ring, but in the movie, the Supreme Ring Lin Yifeng doesn't seem to be surprising at all, it's just the function of stealth.
Lin Yifeng firmly believed that the Supreme Ring could never have such a weak ability, the Supreme Ring must have a strong power, but ordinary people could not use this huge power.
"No, I can't do that. Bilber is my friend. I heard Lin Yifeng's words. Gandalf shook his head without hesitation and said to Lin Yifeng.
Asking Bilber to bring his magic ring over for observation, Gandalf believed that if he offered it, Bilber would definitely not be stingy. But out of Bilber's friendship. Gandalf would never do anything to hide it.
"I'm just talking." See Gandalf's reaction. Lin Yifeng nodded slightly, then looked at Gandalf in contemplation and asked, "Then what are you going to do?" You know, you can't let Bilber take the One Ring away, and you can't let him have the One Ring anymore. Although his will is very strong, but today you can also see that in fact, his will has been slowly disintegrated, and if he continues, then he will become a slave of the Lord of the Rings. ”
"There will be a way, I will have a way, everything is tonight, tonight will be over, today is Bilber, my old friend, one hundred and eleven years old, I don't want to talk about anything more." Looking at Lin Yifeng, Gandalf gently picked up the tea on the table, took a sip and said to Lin Yifeng.
"Yes, you will, let's go, Susan." Looking at Gandalf, Lin Yifeng stared closely at Gandalf's eyes, and Gandalf also looked directly at Lin Yifeng, and after about ten seconds, Lin Yifeng took the initiative to look away, bent down and walked out of the kitchen, and said to Susan.
"Hey, friends, where are you going?" Bilber, who happened to be carrying a pile of food in his hand. Baggins had already returned, and when he saw Lin Yifeng and Susan walking outside, Bilber asked strangely.
"We want to go out and have a look, the scenery outside is really amazing, the outside world can rarely see such a beautiful scenery, and Bilber, you and Gandalf haven't seen each other for so many years, there must be a lot more to say." Looking at Bilberlin, Yifeng said with a smile.
"Oh, that's so understanding, I hope you have a good time, but it's a shame you can't eat the cheesecake, but it's okay, it's still there at the birthday party in the evening." Raising the bag in his hand, Bilber didn't keep Lin Yifeng and Susan, but said with some pity.
"Yes, I think at night, it will be spectacular." Hearing Bilber's words, Lin Yifeng said with a smile.
"Of course, then, have fun." Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Bilber smiled, and then said goodbye to Lin Yifeng.
Bending down and walking through two small doors, Lin Yifeng opened the door and walked out with Susan, and then closed the small green door with a lot of personality.
"What are we going to do now?" walked out, glanced up at the blue sky, and then Susan asked Lin Yifeng.
"Didn't you say that? It's good to have a good time and relax, after all, there are so few moments to relax. Hearing Susan's words, Lin Yifeng smiled on his face and said to Susan.
"Really?" Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Susan's face also showed a hint of joy.
"Of course, isn't that an incredible thing?" Seeing Susan's reaction, Lin Yifeng was also a little strange.
"No, it's just that I thought that if you brought it up, you would go to find out the news." Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, he quickly shook his head, and Susan said to Lin Yifeng.
"Well, when I heard Susan say that, I suddenly felt that this was also a very necessary thing." Touching his chin, Lin Yifeng smiled on his face, nodded deeply and said.
"Feng, you're really hateful." Seeing Lin Yifeng's contrived appearance, Susan couldn't help but smile, clenched her right hand into a fist, and gently hammered Lin Yifeng's shoulder.
"Haha, alright. Let's go, you know, this kind of scenery is really hard to see with your own eyes. "Looking at the green woods and meadows in the distance, there is a large area of golden yellow, like gold in the sun, the rape flowers that shine brightly, and the birds flying back and forth in the sky, and the clear lake. Sheep strolling through the meadow. Lin Yifeng said to Susan with a smile.
"yes, it's really hard to see such a beautiful view." Following Lin Yifeng's side, he pushed open the small fence and walked outside. Susan looked at the beautiful view. Whispered to himself.
In a field not far away, groups of hobbit children. is frolicking happily, bursting with joyful laughter.
"I think it's wonderful to be able to live here quietly." While walking on the trail. Looking at the tall trees on both sides, Susan sighed.
"It's better to live there all the time, although it's beautiful, but I can't bear this quiet rural life." Hearing Susan's words, Lin Yifeng couldn't help but interject.
"Feng, you're really good at spoiling people!" Glancing at Lin Yifeng, Susan couldn't help but complain.
"Perhaps, but I'm just telling the truth." Hearing Susan's words, he pursed his lips, and Lin Yifeng spoke.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――。
At night, tents were set up on the meadows of the Charles, and hobbits, young and old, gathered in the middle of the meadow, carrying fireworks, tables, chairs, benches, and food.
"Hey, Gandalf, Bilber, you two are so laid-back, obviously Mr. Bilber, you're the protagonist of the night." Coming to the top of a small hill and looking at the two people sitting on the hillside with smoking guns, Lin Yifeng said with a smile.
"Oh, human friend, would you like a bite? This is grown by Old Toby and is the best tobacco in the South End. Holding the cigarette gun in his hand and looking sideways at Lin Yifeng, Bilber said to Lin Yifeng with a smile.
"No, no, I don't like that." Shaking his head, Lin Yifeng refused.
"That's a shame." Hearing Lin Yifeng's words, Bilber nodded, took a breath and said in a circle.
"Old friend Gandalf, tonight is going to be a night to remember." Looking at the circle he had spit out, Bilber said to Gandalf on the side.
But hearing this, and looking at the hobbit's unique red face, Lin Yifeng felt strange how he looked at it.
"Alright, I think the banquet will start soon, Bilber, we should go." Gandalf put down the cigarette gun in his hand and said to Bilber.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――。
"Dear Baggins and Boffin, Tuck and Spirits, Grouber, Chuber, Trumpet, Bozhe, Belly and Proud Feet." Standing on the high platform, Bilber. Baggins shouted.
Before this, there was often nothing to make Lin Yifeng worthy of interest, but I have to say that the food of the hobbits is indeed very delicious, and now that I have seen Bilber's speech, Lin Yifeng still has some influence on the plot of this scene, and then it seems that Bilber will borrow the power of the One Ring and be invisible in front of everyone, and it is because of this that Gandalf discovered the secret of Bilber's magic ring, but Gandalf at that time, I didn't know that Bilber was holding the One Ring.
And Lin Yifeng also wanted to see what kind of power this Supreme Ring had, so after hearing Bilber's speech, Lin Yifeng and Susan immediately stared at Bilber tightly.
"Today is my one hundred and eleventh birthday, but one hundred and eleven years is too short, I really want to be with you more, I only know you a little, and you are not worthy of my liking at all." Looking at everyone, Bilber said with his fingers.
Hearing Bilber's words, everyone in the audience also looked at each other.
"I'm going to do something." Looking at the crowd, Bilber slowly put his right hand into his pocket.
Then he took it out again, putting his hands behind his back.
"I've been putting this on for too long, and I'm sorry I'm going to announce the end of the banquet, I'm leaving, I'm going to say goodbye to everyone, goodbye." Biller. Baggins' whole person disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but exclaim loudly, and the scene was chaotic.
"Do you feel it?" However, Lin Yifeng's eyes shrank.
This, this kind of power, the breath of the whole person disappeared in an instant, and it was not stealth in the general sense.
"It's the same as my Xenodimensional Hidden Style, no, more powerful than mine, at least my stealth is definitely not able to attack others in stealth, and the Supreme Ring can do it." The whole breath, not even the fluctuations of mental power, were not left, Bilber. It's as if Baggins had never been there.
"I think you're right, Bilber's magic ring is really not simple." Standing up, the pipe in his hand had been put away for some time, and Gandalf's face was unusually serious.
"Grab my hand, I think it's time for us to meet Bilber." Looking at Lin Yifeng and Susan, Gandalf stretched out his hand.
"I guess that's a good idea." Hearing Gandalf's words, Lin Yifeng's eyes showed a burst of surprise, but he still stretched out his right hand, and at the same time grabbed Susan's hand with his left hand.
The moment he touched Gandalf's hand, Lin Yifeng only felt that the world was spinning for a while, and when he recovered, what appeared in front of him was Bilber's home. (To be continued......)
