Chapter 1149 1131. The moment of separation
Bilbo is unclear about what Gandalf said, but fortunately they have been old friends who have been traveling together for more than a year.
The hobbits have adapted to Gandalf's mysterious and incommunicative appearance.
Master Baggins himself summed up a set of rules: when the situation is not critical and the wizard speaks to you in riddles, it is best to listen to him.
So although he was already very irritable about gold, Bilbo still kept Gandalf's words in his heart.
They were preparing to dig out the money from a troll lair that they had discovered when they broke into Rivendell before, and took it with them on their way home.
Bion, the skin-changer, followed them for a while because he was on his way.
This seemingly ferocious big man is similar in stature to Lan En. Lan En feels that if the talents of his race can receive formal druid training, they should have a bright future.
But people have their own lives and fun, so what can others say?
Bion laughed and sang boldly along the way, and when they arrived at the big wooden house where he lived, the three of them also enjoyed his hospitality.
The skin-changer is a big man, but a vegetarian.
He lived on wheat, nuts, vegetables and fruits, and entertained the three guests with fine mead and milk.
It’s just that Bilbo and Velvet Ball found it difficult to use the tableware here. After all, this tableware was made for people of the size of Beorn and Lan.
After saying goodbye to Bion, the three of them returned along the same path as the Restoration Expedition.
The overall destination is the Shire, the home of the Hobbits, a peaceful and peaceful place. Gandalf and Lan couldn't let Bilbo, a hobbit, go on the road alone in the dangerous wilderness.
To be honest, if a place was full of hobbits, Lan En really didn't know how that place could not be peaceful, peaceful and leisurely.
Maybe the aroma of cooking smoke and food will continue to float out? After all, each hobbit normally eats seven meals a day, and more when his appetite improves.
And it just so happens that the celestial sphere intersection that Lan En is looking for is in the old forest, and Shire is right next to the old forest.
In the fresh air and unhurried journey, Bilbo often dragged his small box containing treasures onto his horse, and then hurriedly took out parchment and quills from his own package. .
I began to lie on the box and write paragraph after paragraph in deep thought.
"By the way, what are you writing, meow?"
The kitten, who got along well with the hobbit, squatted on the back of the pony and watched curiously as the hobbit wrote the handwriting it didn't recognize.
This is to increase the weight of the already impatient pony, but thanks to the flannel ball, while eating the snacks brought from Beorn's house, he also leans over the pony's mouth from time to time. Stuff a handful.
So the Hobbit ponies are fine with that.
"I'm writing, uh" Bilbo was a little embarrassed at first, but after experiencing so many adventures, he was no longer the hobbit he once was.
So he finally said calmly: "I have always wanted to write a memoir, my memoir. I want to record all this adventure, everyone and everything."
"That's it. When I get old in the future, I can also sit on a comfortable recliner in Bag End and watch what I have experienced."
At this time, they walked to the area outside Rivendell. On the hilly fields.
Back here, Radagast led the way, and Lan En and the Gushan Restoration Expedition met for the first time.
At that time, the dwarves had just killed three trolls, searched their caves, and found three good swords from the elves of the First Age.
It was mid-morning, and what they saw when they looked back was the sun shining on the endless land.
In the distance is the dark jungle, which is dark green even in this season.
On the edge of the horizon is the lonely mountain. The snow on its highest peak has never melted and still reflects dazzling light.
“After the fire is white ice and snow, even the evil dragon will have its end.”
The Hobbits summarized their previous journey in a tone filled with emotion. It seemed like countless fatigue and homesickness suddenly popped up.
"I wish I could just lie down on my comfortable chaise longue in Bag End." Inspirations are recorded and written into memoirs.
The witcher and the unicorn walked past the pony. The human head and the ancient dragon's head were very synchronized. The two heads stretched out curiously, looking at the hobbit's brushstrokes.
"How about adding 'all things have an end' at the end?"
The witcher tasted Bilbo's words and gave suggestions based on his own artistic accomplishment on horseback.
But before Bilbo could react, Lan shook his head.
"No, it's not good. Just leave it as it is."
"The style of the Hobbit's autobiography should be lighter. It's just enough for a superficial exploration of in-depth discussions. This level is very suitable."< br>
Mr. Baggins nodded casually and complacently, expressing his recognition of Lan En's appreciation.
"It's so well written, Bilbo. The writing style is casual, natural and elegant, much better than those verbal poems that show off literary talent."
The witcher then sighed, but Bilbo looked at Lan En in surprise.
"Huh?"
The hobbit looked at the parchment in his hand, then at the witcher, his expression a little embarrassed. "Actually, I have also used a lot of uncommon and gorgeous affixes. It's really not gorgeous enough. I mean 'complicated'?"
"Believe me, Bilbo ." The witcher made an accordion-like gesture with his hands on the horse. "No one understands the so-called 'gorgeous writing style' better than me."
"I know a very talented poet, but he always uses his brains to write poems to please women. Although he has fulfilled his talent in the end, if he writes too much, it will seem very pretentious. Do you understand?"
"Oh."
Bilbo, who obviously wanted to write his memoirs in a more gorgeous way, couldn't tell whether he was encouraged or discouraged at this time. He could only nod his head frustratedly.
Gandalf was blowing smoke rings leisurely in front, and only listened attentively when he was talking about poetry in the back. His old face closed his eyes and nodded, as if he agreed very much.
Then I was immersed in the fragrance of pipe grass.
The three of them walked together for several weeks, and finally reached the edge of the old forest at a leisurely pace.
Further ahead is Ciel. This is already a tacit moment of farewell.
"May your heroic deeds be immortalized in the epic, Lan En."
When they walked to the peaceful land covered with green grass, the hobbit moved towards the witcher. Reach out.
The tall demon hunter bent down and held it.
On his shoulder, the ball of flannel also smiled and waved to Bilbo with his eyes narrowed.
“Goodbye Meow!”
Ello is naturally optimistic and cheerful. Although she is reluctant to leave her new friends, she feels very happy when Bilbo returns home as he wished.
Lan bent down and looked seriously into the hobbit's eyes.
“I must reiterate that it is an honor to meet you, Mr. Baggins.”
"I have a gift for you."
"What?" Bilbo was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head in rejection. "No, no need, Lan En. I have got enough."
"It's not gold." Lan En withdrew the hand he was holding, but did not straighten up, but just took it off his fingers. A ring with a square sapphire was handed to the hobbit.
"This is magic. No, the soul stone ring. It can protect your soul, to a certain extent."
The magic of the flame world is to shape the soul and then project it Go out and form an offensive force.
The magic square stone ring can improve the wearer's resistance to magic. To a certain extent, it improves the soul's resistance.
Bilbo didn't know why Lan En gave him this. It was obvious that the dangerous adventure was over.
"Gandalf told me on the way that you might need this."
The witcher tilted his head towards the old wizard standing up straight behind him.
The old wizard now looked at the Hobbit with an unpredictable and uneasy smile on his face.
"You don't think I didn't notice it, do you, Mr. Baggins? You can come and go without a trace and save the day all the way. It's not just luck and courage that can do it."
"You are here." I got a magic ring on the way, right? Although I don’t know who made that gadget, I have to give you a piece of advice: It’s best to use it less.”
Gandalf was vaguely aware of it. It seems that Bilbo got a magic ring while crossing the Misty Mountains.
This is not a big deal. After all, the magic ring is precious and rare, and it is ordinary and ordinary. Being invisible is not a very powerful ability.
But out of concern for Bilbo, he decided to make the problem more serious and scare him.
Sure enough, Bilbo, who had returned to his hometown to relax mentally, quickly waved his hand to the wizard.
"Come on Gandalf, why should I use it if it's not dangerous?"
"But you'd better accept it." Lann thrust the ring into Bilbo's hand, "Just in case. 1. "
"But this is too valuable, Lan En!"
"Take it, just for our friendship. Besides, I have a condition."< br>
The witcher said slyly, but paired with the face with silver hair scattered in front of his forehead, it looked unflattering.
"Please just say it." Bilbo's expression was serious and solemn, as if he was ready to start a long adventure again in the next moment.
"We will always be true friends, Bilbo." Lann said with a chuckle.
“I heard that your afternoon tea time is at four o’clock, but as you know, I am an elusive person. If I pass by your door in the future and knock on the door, it is not on the hour. I hope you won’t turn me away.”
The hobbit looked at each other seriously and took a long breath.
"I will never turn you away at any time, Lann. Never."
"Great friendship." Gandalf put his hands on his hips and smiled, " If everyone could value laughter and despise gold and silver as you do, there might no longer be a place for evil in this world.”
