"If I knew the way east, it would take us a long time, and ......."

Listening to Thorin's words, Gandalf couldn't help but interrupt and said, obviously he already had an itinerary in mind, but it wasn't like this.

"From there, we can go up the Rapid, so we can come to the ruins of Riverdale, the remnants of the old town that used to be in the shadow of the mountains. None of us wanted to enter through the main entrance, though. The river flows out of the main gate and falls down on the cliff on the southern side of the mountain, and unless the dragon changes its habits, it usually enters and exits from that side. ”

Thorin didn't care about Gandalf's interruptions, but just talked about his arrangement, which also showed his stubborn nature.

"That's not good, unless we have an invincible warrior, or even a hero. I've tried to find these guys, but the warriors from afar are busy fighting each other, and there are even fewer heroes in the vicinity, so I can't find them at all. That's why I recommended this wizard from the East, Mr. Haven, to join the team, and I also wanted to find a snitch to help us achieve our goals, especially when I thought of this secret door, so I found this Bilbo. Mr. Baggins. Let's move on and see what we can do. ”

Gandalf felt that Thorin's statement was obviously ready to be tough, so he also directly refuted Thorin's words somewhat unceremoniously.

From Gandalf's words, Zhu Linglu understood how Gandalf could have allowed himself to join this adventurous team so easily.

It turns out that Gandalf was looking for someone who could help, but unfortunately there are no famous warriors and heroes near the Shire and the Lonely Mountain (Gandalf also seems to have ignored Bard the Sharpshooter).

And several human kingdoms in the south are also in civil wars, Gandalf naturally can't form a Ring Squad like the Lord of the Rings plot later, and gather heroic warriors among humans, dwarves, and elves to form the current adventure team.

Of course, the current situation is also a little different, and the reason why the Ring of the Ring can be formed after that is related to the safety of all races in the entire Middle-earth world.

And now it's just an internal matter for the Dwarves of the Lonely Mountain.

The dragon Smaug didn't threaten any more places, and for more than a hundred years it was only entrenched in the closed dwarven capital of Irubane. Sleep within the countless gold coins and treasures accumulated by the dwarves.

Therefore, the other elves and humans don't care too much about this matter at all, at most they are just greedy for the dwarven wealth of Irubone.

Just like when the last five armies were fighting, the elven lord of the jungle, Serandui, led the elven army to Ilubo to ask for the elven gem, but in fact, he heard that the evil dragon Smaug was dead, and wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob.

Therefore, Gandalf really couldn't find the right people to join the adventure team during this plot period, and only Zhu Linglu was bumped into by him.

Now listening to Thorin's own plan, Gandalf sensed Thorin's arrogance and stubbornness, and naturally could not let Thorin play.

"Okay. Perhaps this professional snitch can give us some advice. ”

Thorin listened to Gandalf's words and nodded at Zhu Linglu, but he still didn't look down on Bilbo, so he couldn't help but ask Bilbo politely.

Bilbo looked at Thorin and blinked, and after a moment he realized that Thorin really seemed to be waiting for him to give advice, and he hurriedly shook his hand.

"Sorry to interrupt you, but I hope I didn't interrupt your discussion. I don't want to pretend to understand what you're talking about, or why you're mentioning the Snitch. But I think you've got the wrong person! No, no, no, I'm not a snitch, I've never stolen anything in my life. ”

"yes, I have to agree with Mr. Baggins. He doesn't look like a snitch! ”

"Not really!"

"Yes, the wilderness is not for a gentle people, he can neither fight nor defend himself!"

"He's actually okay!"

Listening to Bilbo's words, the other dwarves couldn't help but gossip. Apparently the vast majority of dwarves don't see Bilbo as a snitch.

Well, only the fat dwarf Bombo had said a nice word for Bilbo, perhaps because he was satisfied with the food Bilbo provided.

"Enough! If I say Bilbo. Baggins is a snitch. Then he's a snitch! ”

Gandalf couldn't help but get angry as he listened, and shouted out all the dwarves' words, but soon he spoke again, "Hobbits are surprisingly light on their feet, and in fact they can avoid most people's eyes and ears if they want to, while dragons are very familiar with the breath of dwarves, but they know nothing about hobbits. ”

"This gives us an unusual advantage, so I chose Mr. Baggins, who not only looks like he looks, but who can do so much more than you might expect, and you have to trust me! If you can survive in the future, don't forget to thank me. ”

"Alright then, just do what you want!"

After listening to Gandalf's words, Thorin finally made a decision on behalf of all the dwarves.

And Bilbo listened to Gandalf's words, and couldn't help but open his mouth wide, and for a moment he seemed to be a little unable to react, and then listening to Gandalf's words, he sniffled and crooked his mouth, as if he also felt that he might really be as good as Gandalf said.

"Then, Mr. Baggins, please give us our advice!"

Thorin seemed to pick up some sense in Gandalf's words, so he turned to Bilbo again and asked him again.

"First of all, I need to know a little bit more about the situation, I mean the gold and the dragons, and, how do you get over there? And whose are these things? And so on and so forth. ”

Bilbo felt that he should fit in with Gandalf's compliments to him, so he couldn't help but try to appear calm, professional, and calm as if he were doing his job.

"Oh my God! Don't you see this map? Didn't you hear the ballad we chanted? We've been talking about it for over an hour? ”

Thorin saw through Bilbo's feigned composure, and deliberately asked Bilbo in surprise.

"Whatever, I want you to be able to explain it a little bit more clearly, I want to know the description of the risks, additional costs, time required, rewards, etc."

Bilbo continued to pretend to say, of course, the meaning behind his words was, what good am I? Can you come back alive?

"Well, a long time ago, in the generation of my grandfather Thor, our family was driven out of the north...... Unfortunately, this also attracted the dragons. As you know, dragons steal gold and jewels from elves, humans, and dwarves, and as long as they live, they guard these treasures to the death, not even a dime at all. ”

Thorin looked at Bilbo, and finally patiently talked about a plot background story that Zhu Linglu already knew...... (To be continued......)
