Chapter 31: Gandalf's Invitation

The next morning, after eating an exquisite breakfast early, Dongfang Yu left Charles in Bilbo's reluctant gaze, looking at Dongfang Yu's departing back, Bilbo's eyes were deep with a trace of envy.

After walking for more than half an hour, there was a big tree beside the path, and there was a nest of small sparrows on the treetops, a colorful poisonous snake, which was coiled on the trunk of the tree, crawling towards the nest of small sparrows, and a mother sparrow, chirping, but it could not stop the poisonous snake from advancing.

Finally, when the poisonous snake approached the bird's nest and was about to lower its mouth, the anxious mother sparrow could not care so much anymore, and rushed over without hesitation, and the bird's beak also pecked at the poisonous snake.

How strong can a sparrow's beak behold? Although it hurts to peck at the viper, it is not enough to hurt it.

The poisonous snake coiled up, spit out the snake letter, and also looked for an opportunity to fight back, a snake and a bird, just like this for a few rounds, the sparrow's mouth pecked at the poisonous snake seven inches.

The poisonous snake was in pain, and the snake's tail swung and hit the bird's nest, and the bird's nest flew up, and the three little sparrows in it, chirping in horror, fell from the trunk of the tree, and their little wings fluttered, but they could not fly at all.

The mother sparrow was even more eager to scream, but when the three little sparrows fell, it had no choice but to watch.

Swish......

Dongfang Yu, who was passing by, saw it, a little under his feet, Ling Bo started with a small step, his movements were elegant like a fairy, but the speed was as fast as lightning, Ling Bo was already familiar with it, his toes tapped a few times between the branches, and he easily held the three little sparrows in the palm of his hand, and his body fell to the ground like a feather.

Twittering.

The mother sparrow was even more anxious when she saw the three little sparrows falling in Dongfang Yu's palm.

Dongfang Yu naturally had no intention of harming these three little lives, grabbed the bird's nest that fell, put the three little sparrows in it, jumped over, and put the bird's nest back in its original place.

For Dongfang Yu, saving these three little sparrows is just a gesture, but the mother sparrow flew around Dongfang Yu several times, chattering, I don't understand, but I think it means thanks.

This made Dongfang Yu smile, in this world, even animals are so spiritual.

"This gentleman has some good skills", at this moment, suddenly an old voice sounded.

Following the prestige, Dongfang Yu's heart was stunned, not far away stood an old man, looking at himself, although he looked eighty or ninety years old, but his figure did not look rickety at all, but was as straight as a young man, wearing a long gray robe, wearing a high wizard hat on his head, holding a magic wand, with Dongfang Yu's vigilance, he didn't even find out when he appeared.

"Gandalf?" , Seeing this old wizard, Dongfang Yu was slightly stunned, from the perspective of time, when Gandalf and Bilbo met, it was indeed in the morning, that is, he was about to go to Charles to find Bilbo, but on the way to Charles, did he meet himself first?

"Thank you for your appreciation", Dongfang Yu didn't think about following Gandalf and their adventure team, so there was not much intersection, and he replied very politely, and was about to turn around and leave.

"I don't know what to call him, sir?" , but Gandalf was very interested in Dongfang Yu, and asked.

"Dongfang Yu, I am a traveler from the far East, I don't know what the old gentleman will call me?" , Dongfang Yu replied, although he knew Gandalf's identity, he still pretended not to know and asked.

"Traveler?" Although Gandalf said that his face was old, his eyes were very clear and wise, and he stared at Dongfang Yu tightly, as if he could see people through completely.

"Sir, is there anything wrong with you? If it's okay, I'll continue to travel", Gandalf's eyes made Dongfang Yu feel as if he had been stripped of his clothes, very uncomfortable, and in the face of the supernatural power of the wizard, Dongfang Yu did not dare to underestimate it.

"What's the point of traveling aimlessly? Even if it's traveling, you should find a goal, right? Gandalf suddenly spoke, saying this.

Without waiting for Dongfang Yu to answer, he bowed very solemnly, with an extraordinary bearing: "Gandalf, gray-robed wizard Gandalf, it's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Dongfang Yu from the Far East."

What do he mean by that? Want to invite me to join his adventure team?

Gandalf's words made Dongfang Yu slightly stunned, and when he met Gandalf, Dongfang Yu thought it was just a coincidence, and separated after saying hello, but he didn't expect that Gandalf would invite him.

As if seeing the doubts in Dongfang Yu's eyes, Gandalf said frankly: "Mr. Dongfang, in fact, I am looking for a companion now, a companion who is on an adventure with me, and I met by chance today, I think this is the guidance of fate, I wonder if Mr. Dongfang is willing to embark on an adventurous journey with me?" ”。

"Mr. Wizard, you and I have just met, and you invited me to go on an adventure together? Do you think I'll say yes? Dongfang Yu looked at Gandalf and asked rhetorically.

"It is true that I am abrupt, then I will wait for you under this tree for three days, and if you agree, then within three days, come to me under this tree", Gandalf thought about it, and said this, and went straight to sit under the tree of the sparrow's nest just now.

"......", looking at Gandalf's appearance, Dongfang Yu felt a little chaotic in his mind for a while.

Originally, when he met Gandalf, Dongfang Yu thought it was just an episode, but looking at the current appearance, the plot has not started yet, and it seems that a huge change has occurred?

Gandalf, who was supposed to go to Bilbo, joined the adventurers, and became the thief and scout of the team, because he fell in love with the hobbit's short stature, thick pads of flesh under his feet, and walked endlessly, plus Smaug, the fire dragon in the lonely mountain, was unfamiliar with the smell of hobbits, and Bilbo's own adventurous heart.

However, as soon as he saw how he saved a few little sparrows, Gandalf decided that he was himself? Replace Bilbo with yourself?

Leaving Gandalf, Dongfang Yu walked between them, slowly clearing these thoughts.

Judging from the original book, there is a time limit for the adventurer team to go to the Lonely Mountain, and it takes a specific day to open the door to the secret room of the Lonely Mountain, and the time is very tight, I remember that in the second Battle of Smaug, it seems to have been shown that from the agreement between Gandalf and the dwarven prince Thorin, to their adventurers' journey, it seems that there is a year.

But the adventurer team went to the Lonely Mountain, and it was only one to two months at most, so in this way, Gandalf searched for at least seven or eight months in order to find a suitable snitch, and finally chose Bilbo?

If you think about it carefully, although the hobbit Bilbo is a candidate, he has never left home, and he doesn't even have the slightest ability to fight, which is indeed a big shortcoming, and it took at least seven or eight months for Gandalf to find Bilbo, isn't it? Gandalf also felt that Bilbo was just a choice in the end?

This argument does work, after all, when he first joined the adventurer team, the dwarven prince Thorin, as the leader, said more than once that Bilbo was just a liability, an experienced snitch, and an ordinary person who didn't know anything and only had the potential of some snitches? If it weren't for Gandalf's repeated assurances, it is estimated that Sorin would have kicked Bilbo out of the squad long ago.

Slowly, Dongfang Yu's thoughts cleared up, it seems that just now Gandalf saw the elegance of his Ling Bo micro-step, and felt that he was more suitable for the adventurer team, so he chose himself, right?

But should I say yes? Dongfang Yu's heart hesitated.

Promised, this road is full of dangers, a careless, maybe you have to die in a foreign land, but in the same way, danger and opportunity coexist, in the fairy cave, the Supreme Ring in Gollum's hand makes Dongfang Yu very eager!

If you don't agree, your life is really not in danger, but it is difficult to find an opportunity, and it is very likely that you will just return to reality empty-handed in the end.

"When did I become so cowardly?" After thinking about it, Dongfang Yu gritted his teeth.

Bilbo in the original book has no combat ability, but in the end he is unharmed, he has not weak strength, coupled with the foresight of the plot, is it not as good as a novice Bilbo?

One Ring!!

This alone is enough to make Dongfang Yu take risks, if he can get the Supreme Ring and bring it back to modern times, then no matter who he faces, he can be regarded as having the ability to protect himself, right?

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yu resolutely turned around.
