"It's a tragic story, but ......"

Bilbo shrugged, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

Gandalf said, "Of course it does. It has been 50 years since Smaug occupied Lone Mountain, and the Oak Shield tribe wants to return to their homeland every moment, and if they want to fight the powerful Smaug, and if they want other tribes to recognize their right to rule and inherit Lone Mountain, they must get the token of the Oak Shield tribe, the Heart of the Mountain. ”

Bilbo frowned, "You just said that the Heart of the Mountains was crushed under Smaug?" ”

Gandalf laughed, "Yes, but Smaug is asleep, he has gold all over him, and his nose is very sensitive to dwarves and humans, but he doesn't feel anything about hobbits, so you are the best candidate for the Snitch." ”

Bilbo was horrified and said, "You made me steal from a dragon!" ”

"It's to help us get back to the country!" Dwarin thumped the table.

Bilbo shook his head, "I'm sorry, I'm really not interested, and you can't force me!" There are so many hobbits in the Shire, you can ask for another skill! ”

Gandalf waved his hand, "Let's not discuss this topic for now, everyone is hungry, let's eat first!" ”

Then the dwarves took up their food and began to eat it.

The whole restaurant was in shambles, filled with loud quarrels, pounding tables, and a dwarf with a Mediterranean hair standing on the table and dancing.

Bilbo was really going crazy, and he wished the day was over sooner.

When the dwarves had eaten and drunk enough and began to pack up their dishes, there were several heavy knocks at the door.

The dwarves in the room all pricked up their ears.

Gandalf smiled with relief: "He's finally here." ”

Bilbo said angrily, "I'm not going to open the door again." ”

All the dwarves gathered at the door, and Gandalf himself pulled the door open.

Outside the door, a middle-aged male dwarf wearing a black fur coat with a majestic face stood there.

"Gandalf, long time no see."

The man walked in with majestic steps, and said with a light smile: "I remember you said that this place is easy to find, but I didn't expect that it is so easy to find, your noisy sound can be heard from several kilometers away, and there are marks on this door, I can't get lost even if I want to get lost." ”

"Marking?" Bilbo looked at his clean door in astonishment, "Where's the mark?" ”

Gandalf laughed, "It's a magic mark, only dwarves can see it." ”

Bilbo was horrified and said, "Gandalf! Why are you doing this! ”

Gandalf laughed, "Of course it's to bring everyone together!" Let me introduce you to Thorin Oak Shield, the grandson of King Thor's Oak Shield, a true prince who is also the captain of this mission to the Lonely Mountain. ”

Bilbo was surprised to find that the dwarves in the room, who had been noisy, had become extremely quiet, and they were all bowing to the Thorin Oak Shield.

Although the country of Oakshield has been overrun by the dragon Smaug, the old king has been killed in battle, and the legal crown prince (Thorin's father) has disappeared in the war against the orcs, all the dwarves of the Oak Shield tribe have faced Thorin Oakshield with the attitude of seeing the prince.

Only Thorin's bloodline is the real royal bloodline, and only under Thorin's leadership can they complete the great cause of restoring the country.

Bilbo took a deep breath, bowed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were a prince. ”

Thorin looked at Bilbo with a smile.

Despite the smile on his face, his deep dark eyes unconsciously put a lot of pressure on Bilbo.

This is the innate aura of the king!

Thorin said lightly, "So, you're the hobbit that Gandalf recommended?" ”

Bilbo hurriedly said, "Recommended? I don't want to be recommended, I'm not short of money, actually, let's be honest, we hobbits don't have a royal family, but if there is a royal family, then I should be a prince. ”

Thorin smiled and said, "Tell me Bilbo, have you ever fought?" How many people have you killed? With an axe or with a sword? What kind of craft do you have the most confidence in? ”

Bilbo opened his mouth, deciding to answer the last question first: "I'm most confident in the art of sleeping." ”

Thorin looked at Gandalf in surprise, "He said he had faith in the art of sleeping, Gandalf, did you find us a duck?" ”

Bilbo exclaimed, blushing and yelling, "No! I'm not a duck! I'm not! I'm just saying, I love sleeping! The longest time I've ever slept was 36 hours! ”

Gandalf laughed.

Thorin laughed too, "I'm sorry, Bilbo, I misunderstood. ”

Gandalf pointed to Xu Feng and Hammer and said, "These two are mercenaries I hired temporarily, this one is called Diedy, and this one is called Hammer. ”

"Mercenaries?" Thorin frowned slightly, "I don't trust human mercenaries. ”

Gandalf said: "This Hammer Lady has one-sixty-quarter of dwarven blood, you can rely on her, and as for this Terran swordsman, his strength is very strong, and most importantly, he is an upright person with a full sense of justice, and he will definitely be of great help to us in this mission to the Lonely Mountain." ”

Thorin first looked at the hammer, and finally nodded slightly, acknowledging the hammer's identity, and then, Thorin looked up at Xu Feng again.

In terms of Thorin's height, he is definitely tall among the dwarves.

The average height of a dwarf is 1.5 meters, and Thorin is 1.7 meters tall!

This height is almost the average height of a human being.

And Xu Feng's height is close to one meter nine, so when Solin looks at Xu Feng, he can only look up.

"You're a swordsman?" Thorin asked.

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Yes." ”

"What sword?"

"A good sword."

"Take it out and I'll take a look."

"Sorry, no." Xu Feng bluntly refused.

The dwarves present all let out a roar of discontent, and Xu Feng refused their prince's request, which in their eyes was extremely disrespectful.

Thorin raised his hand, motioning for the dwarves to be quiet.

"Why?" Thorin asked coldly, "Could it be that your sword is too bad, embarrassed to show it?" ”

Xu Feng smiled lightly: "A swordsman's sword is not used to show off what is good and not good-looking, but to kill. ”

The corners of Thorin's mouth furled, "Well said, swordsman!" ”

Xu Feng smiled, "You can call me Diedi." ”

Thorin smiled: "It's a pity, it's useless to just say it, after all, this mission to the lonely mountain is related to the life and death of my clan, and I can't just entrust my fate to someone I don't trust." ”

Xu Feng asked, "Then what do you want?" ”

Thorin said coldly, "Let's fight." ”
