Chapter 156: A Guy Who Sells His Reputation
Bilbo was stunned for a moment, then blushed and said, "Diedi, at this time, you will make fun of me, okay?" Even you can't save them, how can I save them? You just saw how ridiculous I look in armor! I now feel that I made a mistake this time, and I can't help anything! I'm a piece of shit! ”
Bilbo's eyes turned red as he spoke.
Xu Feng patted his immature shoulder, and said with a light smile: "Bilbo, don't be so arrogant, you have your advantages." ”
Bilbo smiled wryly, "What are my strengths?" Can't wear armor, can't hold a sword, it's also an advantage? ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Of course." ”
Bilbo frowned and said: "Diedi, the more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, this is obviously a disadvantage, how can it become an advantage!" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "The so-called advantages and disadvantages originally coexisted, in the face of a certain situation, you can't wear armor and can't hold weapons, that's indeed a disadvantage, but in the face of another situation, this is a big advantage." ”
Bilbo looked at Maple in surprise.
At first, he thought Xu Feng was joking, but Xu Feng said it so resolutely, it was definitely not a joke.
Xu Feng smiled and said, "Now, the only question is whether you have the guts to save Thorin and them." ”
Bilbo gritted his teeth and said, "If I can really save it, if I really use it, then I want to, however, I don't have any confidence in myself now." ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Confidence will come, I just need your courage now, tell me Bilbo Baggins, are you a hobbit without courage?" ”
Bilbo clenched his fists hard, "I'm not!" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Your voice is too quiet, like a mosquito, I can't hear it clearly." ”
Bilbo yelled, "I'm not! ”
Xu Feng shook his head, "I still haven't heard clearly." ”
Bilbo used all his strength to roar, "I'm not! I'm not a coward! I'm small, but I'm not like any other hobbit! I have courage! ”
Xu Feng laughed, "That's good, then Thorin and they will be saved." ”
"But......" Bilbo still didn't understand what Xu Feng meant.
Not only Bilbo, but the others didn't understand what Maple was planning, especially Mayor Crane and Captain Thomas.
Mayor Crane felt in his heart that this was probably a deliberate dumping of the pot by Lord Diedy, who must have been afraid that he would not come to Thorin for rescue, so he deliberately found a hobbit like a weak chicken to carry out this rescue mission.
Captain Thomas is also full of despair in his heart, he believes in Xu Feng, but he does not believe that a hobbit of about 1.2 meters can be a savior.
Xu Feng turned back to them and said, "You just stay here, and I can go with Gandalf, Hammer, and Bilbo." Oh, and remember to prepare a dinner party, and we'll be celebrating when we come back in the evening. ”
The muscles on Mayor Crane's face twitched slightly.
If people are boiled and eaten by ogres, what is the achievement......
Mayor Crane complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, "Yes, yes, let's go and prepare." ”
Xu Feng smiled: "That's good, Lao Gan, let's go." ”
Gandalf knocked his cigarette pouch and said with a smile, "Okay, let's go." ”
Bilbo was stunned and said, "Wait, let's go like this?" Don't you plan ahead? "School bag
Xu Feng smiled: "Time is pressing, while walking, I will tell you the plan - open the east city gate!" ”
"Yes!" Captain Thomas hurriedly ordered, "Guards, open the city gate and let Master Diedi and them out!" ”
The broken gate on the east side creaked open, and Xu Feng took Gandalf and the others out of the gate and walked in the direction of the entrance to the canyon.
Mayor Crane stood on the arrow tower, looked at the backs of Xu Feng, and muttered a sigh, "It seems that this Lord Diedi is not as powerful as the legend, judging from his current performance, he is more like a guy who sells his reputation." ”
Captain Thomas next to him also said in a deep voice: "Hmph, I have long seen it, how can he be so young, how can he make such a big difference?" I think eighty percent of them were abducted and tricked, hmph, this time something happened, he couldn't hold back, and he could only use the hobbit as a substitute for the dead ghost, but unfortunately, the hobbit seemed to trust him very much! ”
Mayor Crane sighed, "It's a pity that it has hurt our Canyon Town!" ”
Captain Thomas asked, "So, about the dinner...... Are we still ready? ”
Mayor Crane raised his eyebrows, "Ready?" Prepare him for a big-headed ghost! Let's wait to see how he comes back in embarrassment and how he shirks responsibility! ”
"Good!" Thomas nodded heavily.
The other side.
Xu Feng took Lao Gan and them to the entrance of the canyon.
The terrain here is narrow and surrounded by ancient trees, which is indeed a good place for ambushes.
Gandalf said in a deep voice, "We need to go and reconnoiter first, lest we encounter an ambush as well." ”
Xu Feng smiled faintly, "No, there is no ambush here." ”
Gandalf was stunned, "Are you sure?" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "Yes, I can be sure. ”
As he approached the canyon, he scanned it with his vision, and there were no ogres at the entrance to the canyon.
This is actually very easy to explain, the ogre has caught so much "food", and now they are busy boiling the pot and boiling water, how can they be in the mood to run out of the ambush again?
What's more, in the eyes of the ogres, human beings are vulnerable, they have already hit humans hard, and human beings dare not come over to cause trouble in a short time, even if they want to deal with them, they don't have that strength.
Gandalf trekking into the canyon entrance.
Sure enough, until they reached the center of the canyon, they were not attacked in any way.
The ogre's cave was just ahead, and Xu Feng could already hear the ogres laughing.
These six ogres escaped from the cave at the outpost, and they did not think about going back to save their people, but lived happily here.
Hammer couldn't help but ask, "What do we do now?" Rush in and kill them on their backs? ”
Xu Feng shook his head and said, "No, they have hostages in their hands." The ogres are very cunning, they will let four people come out against us, and leave two people in the cave to guard the hostages, and if the tide of battle is not in their favor, they will immediately take the hostages against us. ”
"So what the hell are we going to do?" Hammer asked impatiently.
Xu Feng smiled: "Didn't I say it all? It's up to Bilbo. ”
Bilbo said helplessly: "But I can't beat the ogre at all!" ”
Xu Feng smiled: "You don't need to fight, you just need to get into another small hole." ”
