Chapter 38 The Eve of Departure

Today is definitely the strangest day he has ever encountered in his life for the Hobbit Bilbo Baggins.

In the morning, he met Gandalf, a famous gray-robed wizard on the continent, and was invited by the other party to participate in an adventure, but he was ruthlessly rejected. Since then, the whole day has become unsmooth.

That damn adventure just took root in his mind and couldn't get rid of it. You know, he was Bilbo Baggins, Baggins of the Baggins' bottom pit. This is what the Baggins family is proud of. They were born and raised here and were happy to die here. No accident happened in their lifetime.

But he just couldn't control himself, so that he swayed all over the Charles in an abnormal manner, and was very afraid of seeing any figure suspected to be a wizard. But he hadn't seen Gandalf any more in Charles anyway?

This question is easy to answer, he went to welcome the dwarves, and even more overwhelmingly, he brought Ronan with him.

"So what reason do I have to come to greet those dwarves?" Ronan was really confused and let them find them all by themselves. Charles was not very big.

"Well, the main reason is that the dwarves don't know you. It's good to see you in advance. It's almost time. If they want to come here, it should be soon."

"Okay." Luo Nan had no objection. Although he was too lazy to move, he didn't mind if someone pulled him. Anyway, he had come.

Gandalf said it was indeed correct. In the afternoon, they met the first dwarf on the trip.

"Gandalff! My God, I've seen you. Thorin said he asked us to go to Charles and then follow your arrangements. I'm still worried that I'll miss you."

"Hahaha, Duvalin, I'm very happy to see you. Come and let me introduce you to you. This is another partner of this trip, Master Ronan."

Duvalin looked at Ronan, looked up and down carefully, nodded and said, "You are the story king of Brie? Thorin said you can help us..."

It can be seen that he is still a little suspicious, because in this era, whether a person is powerful or not can be seen at a glance. Except for elves, other races can basically judge his approximate combat power by looking at their body shape and muscles. Ronan is obviously a human, but he is as thin as an elf.

Duvalin still trusted Thorin. Although he was a little suspicious, he was still loyal and did not make things difficult for Ronan. Then he looked at Gandalf and asked about the next arrangements.

Gandalf happily ordered, "You walk east along the East Avenue and stop to a place called Paidi Cave. There is a family where the gate carved the Rune words of Gandalf's first letter, and where is the Hobbit thief I have found for you."

"Is it reliable?" Duvalin was already a little suspicious of the wizard's vision.

"Very reliable! And there is also a dry and comfortable house, delicious food, intoxicating wine, go, don't wait here, let's notify the remaining people."

Duvalin looked at Gandalf, Ronan, and then at Harry at Ronan's feet, shook his head and complained: "I think this person is here for vacation, and he is actually taking care of his children!"

After saying that, he left, leaving Gandalf and Ronan trio behind. Harry looked at Gandalf and asked, "I think I'm redundant?"

Gandalf looked at Harry and thought that the child was really smart, but since Ronan had decided, there was no way, so he said, "No, this trip is for them. As for you, just treat it as an outing. Ronan's ability is still very convenient."

Ronan also nodded to Harry. Anyway, his abilities are placed here, and the dwarves love whether they want them.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the dwarves rushed to the place one by one and followed Gandalf and Ronan's guidance to Bilbo's home.

"Duvalin, Bahrain, Fili, Chili, Oin, Groin, Beaver, Pofor, Bonbo, Dori, Nori, Ore, and there is still a Thorin who is heading north to attend the kin meeting. It's all right, and it's time for us to leave."

Harry asked in confusion: "What are we going to do?"

Gandalf shrugged and replied, "Of course it's supper. If we don't go, we won't be able to catch up with the supper. Those dwarves, you don't know how much they can eat."

Ronan, Harry and Gandalf rode back on horseback. Of course, Harry was sitting in Ronan's arms. A large group of people marched eastward in a mighty manner, attracting a large number of hobbits' curious eyes.

"I'm disturbing, Lord Gandalf, what are you going to do with such a group of dwarves?"

Gandalf responded with a smile: "Go to Billbo's house as a guest, and then go to the East for an adventure!"

As soon as everyone arrived at Billbo’s house, good guy, Billbo’s food reserves have dropped significantly, and now there are a lot of people coming, Billbo feels that he is completely broken.

He pointed at Harry in a collapse and asked, "You even brought a child, what exactly are you doing?"

Finally Gandalf and Ronan entered the house. Billbo grabbed Gandalf and asked, "Didn't I say I don't want any adventure?"

Gandalf comforted Bilbo and then everyone ransacked Bilbo's food warehouse and put them on the table.

"Okay, now there is only one dwarf left yet..."

Bilbo's eyes widened: "What? And the dwarf?"

Duvalin explained to Bilbo: "He is not an ordinary dwarf. He is the king of the mountain, the leader of our dwarfs, and the co-lord of all dwarfs. He went to attend the meeting of dwarf relatives in the north some time ago to seek support for us."

"support?"

Bilbo's lack of life experience made him unable to imagine the experience of these dwarves. He now thinks about his own storage room, his mother's dowry box, and his grandfather's antique chair.

He really regrets it. Didn’t he just poked your butt with a wooden sword when he was a child? As for how cruel it was? I emptied my family.

Ronan was laughing at the side, while Harry looked at the group of dwarves at a loss.

"What a little guy, do you want some meat? You can grow up quickly after eating meat!"

Harry stared at the meat piece that was as big as his head and shook it like a rattle. If this piece was stuffed into his stomach, it would feel like his stomach would explode.

Although this meal was held at the Hobbit's home, it had a completely different style from the Hobbits. The dwarves sang and danced, played and made fun of joy. Harry, Ronan and Gandalf also enjoyed it, only Bilbo was sulking.

After eating and packing the tableware, the doorbell finally rang again.

Bilbo understood that the king of lovers, Thorin, who only heard of his name but did not see him, has arrived.

Sure enough, as soon as the door was opened, a dwarf coach stood at the door. Perhaps he had received some material support at the kinship meeting. This outfit is really worthy of his name as the Dwarf King.

The long black hair in the shawl, the national face, and the beard are obviously the kind of man who is so steady and has a kingly style.

"This place is really hard to find. I've been lost several times, but it's not too late, right?" Solin walked straight into the cave house.

Bilbo didn't even stop him this time and made a move away from the position. He had no other choice. He had a really strong aura. Even the noisy dwarves in the room were watching this person in silence.

The stars in the little guy Harry's eyes were almost overflowing, it was really cool. He originally thought that his father might be a reliable person like Ronan, but now he saw Thorin, wow, this person is the ideal backer type.

As soon as Thorin entered the house, he saw Bilbo and Harry. He looked at Bilbo and said, "It seems that this is the thief you are looking for for me?"

"Thieves? Wait..." Bilbo found himself speechless at all.

Since Thorin had already walked to Harry, he asked, "So anyone can explain why there is a human child in my adventure team?"

Everyone looked at Ronan. The guy was not embarrassed at all and said openly: "What does it matter? Harry also wants to see this vast world."

"Yes, the world is very vast, but it is also dangerous. We cannot take this burden on the road. It is troublesome to have a thief. You can't put a burden on us alone!"

Who is Solin referring to? Ronan and Gandalf present know it.

Gandalf explained: "Bilbo must be a good thief. I have a very accurate view of people!"

Ronan also said: "Although Harry will not bring us any help, it will never become a burden. For some reasons, Harry is a person who will never die, and like this."

Ronan slapped his hand on Harry's shoulder, and then Harry disappeared.

"Wow!" the dwarves shouted together, this was a completely new version they had never seen before.

"That kid, that Harry, just disappeared!"

"Really, it's not a fool!"

"How did you do it?"

Ronan explained: "That's why I'm taking Harry with me, you don't need to worry about Harry's safety."

Thorin Oak Shield looked at Ronan's ability and was not calm. He looked at Ronan and asked, "Can this be used to help our journey? For example, let my warriors arrive at Arribo quickly, and for example, shelter allows us to disappear under the dragon's nose at any time?"

"No, I'm sorry Thorin, this is my agreement with Vera. I can't use my ability to help you cheat."

Thorin took a deep breath, but then he thought that it was indeed the case. If Vera and others were willing to interfere in Middle Earth, then this place would not have become like this at all. The legendary First Era War is an example, and the entire Middle Earth was beaten into chaos.

Since the Vera gave the stage to them mortals, they could no longer use their power to help mortals cheat. This is the rule.

Thinking of this, Solin no longer struggled and sat down and said, "I understand, so let's discuss about entering Gushan."

What happened next was the same as the original work. Bilbo indeed refused to become a thief, and Gandalf also showed everyone the wrath of Maiya, and then went to talk to Bilbo.

He couldn't tell Bilbo directly that he had bought insurance for him at Ronan, which would make the whole journey meaningless, and he really wanted to see Bilbo grow.

"Then you think about it all night, we'll set off tomorrow."
