Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 11 The way forward

"We are not enough in number"

"But we are all fighters, we will never retreat, and we will never surrender!"

"Yes, we will never be afraid of dragons"

The dwarves talked about it in a hurry, and their opinions were basically divided into two types.

The young dwarves such as the dwarf Kirifirioli are impulsive and seem to have no fear of anything.

Most of them are Bahrain, who are older, and the dwarves who have experienced the tragedy of the dragon Smaug attacking the old capital of Iruber, are more rational and cautious.

"Knowing that you are invincible, but still go up, that is not heroic, that is stupid!"

"Hey, who are you calling stupid?"

"I am talking about you!"

"."

Seeing that the two dwarves with opposite opinions are arguing more and more loudly, and the smell of gunpowder is getting stronger and stronger, it seems that there is a possibility of fighting in the next second.

Morgan quietly moved the bench back.

But he saw that Gandalf had already moved to the back one step ahead of him.

at this time.

"enough!"

Thorin Oakenshield slammed on the long table suddenly, and stood up with a snarl.

"If we can see the signs, do you think others won't?"

"By then, the rumors started to spread."

"Smaug hasn't been seen in 60 years!"

"How many eyes are paying attention to the east, thinking, weighing, and coveting our wealth!"

"In short, we must take back Iruber!"

"must!"

Thorin Oakenshield clenched his fist and said loudly.

The dwarf was immediately encouraged by him, and immediately responded with cheers.

But as the oldest, calmest and most cautious dwarf in the whole team, Balin immediately poured cold water on Thorin's oak shield:
"Did you forget that the entire Lonely Mountain was sealed off?"

"We can't get into the mountains"

Bahrain shook his head and said, not so much the cold water, but the biggest problem in the expedition to the Old Kingdom.

Because Irubor is completely an underground city inside a mountain.

The front door of the Kingdom has been sealed by the dragon Smaug, and it is impossible to enter from other places. If you cannot enter, it is useless to say anything.

Barrin's voice fell, and Thorin's oak shield fell silent.

This is indeed the biggest problem right now.

"Bahrain, maybe it used to be, but not now."

At this moment, Gandalf's voice suddenly sounded.

Afterwards, everyone saw him take out a delicate key the length of a palm and the thickness of a thumb like a magic trick.

"How did you get this?"

Thorin Oakenshield murmured while looking at the key in Gandalf's hand.

"This was given by Thor to your father, Thorn, and your father kept it for me."

"Now, he's yours."

Gandalf spoke slowly, reached out and handed the key to Thorin Oakenshield.

At this time, a dwarf suddenly said: "If there is a key, then there must be a door."

"That's right, that's the new problem."

Gandalf nodded, pointed to the map on the table and continued: "The door is hidden in this map, but I have no ability to find it."

"But don't worry, in Middle Earth, someone can find it."

"Our mission must be concealed and careful."

"So, we need a snitch."

Seeing that the full martial arts of the dwarves failed to be staged, Gandalf brought the party process back to a scene similar to the memory plot.

Morgan, who seemed to have a God's perspective, suddenly looked at it and deserted.

Brush brush.
A series of virtual data exuding pale white light began to jump and flicker in the void.

No one present noticed Morgan's strangeness.

【Time Traveler: Morgan】

【Race: Human】

[Biology Level: Tier [-]]

【Soul Power: 0】

[Attributes: strength +; constitution +; agility +; spirit +]

[Ability: Common Language; Muay Thai LV2; White Crow Sword LV1; Bow and Archery LV2]

[Talent: Intimacy (Special Skill)]

[Current world exploration progress: 0.3%]

【.】

Look at the data that keeps appearing in front of you.

When seeing the data behind the column of world exploration progress.

Morgan's eyelids couldn't help twitching violently a few times.

"0.30.3%!"

From 0.01% world exploration progress before meeting Gandalf, it has skyrocketed to 0.1%.

Then grow from 0.1% to 0.3% exploration progress!

If it hadn't been for the fact that nothing had changed in the half a month since he left, Morgan would have suspected that the system was malfunctioning.

Facts have proved that his previous thoughts are very correct.

The current world exploration progress is closely related to the plot characters.

This pointed the way for Morgan's future path, no, it lit a bright light.

Just by meeting the main plot characters, the exploration progress has increased so much.

If they participate in the event together, the increase will definitely be even greater.

The more he explores, the more he will definitely understand the system.

What's more, Morgan has another main purpose: to obtain soul power and become stronger.

The best way to do this is to follow Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield as well, as there will be no shortage of enemies.

Just when Morgan was thinking about his own system.

Gandalf, who was sitting by the side, stood up suddenly. Under the reflection of the fire, the originally tall shadow immediately became extremely huge, and the shadow enveloped the entire living room.

"enough!"

"If I say Bilbo is a Snitch, he is!"

The seemingly calm voice resounded in the ears of everyone present, but it was extremely deafening.

After the voice fell, everyone in the house was stunned.

It has always been said that Gandalf is a wizard, but none of the dwarves have actually seen Gandalf perform witchcraft.

With this shot, the dwarves immediately looked at Gandalf in awe.

Even Thorin Oakenshield is the same.

Morgan, who was originally self-absorbed, was also taken aback by Gandalf's move.

Immediately dissipated the system in front of him, and returned his attention to the desktop in front of him.

"The hobbit is smaller and they are light on their feet."

"Although there are some of you dwarves who can do this."

"However, you must know that Smaug has long been used to you, and he can easily smell you."

"Unlike the hobbits, Smaug never saw a hobbit."

"You asked me to find the No. 14 person, and I choose Mr. Baggins."

"His ability far exceeds his appearance, and he can make more contributions than you or even himself know."

"So, you must trust him."

Gandalf sat down again, and Morgan quickly understood the cause and effect from his words.

The dwarves despise Bilbo, but Gandalf recommends it wholeheartedly.

"Very well, we will do as you say"

Thorin Oakenshield looked at Gandalf for a while, and finally seemed to be convinced.

But Morgan, who was paying attention to Thorin Oakenshield, knew based on the plot in his memory: Thorin Oakenshield still didn't trust Bilbo, he just trusted Gandalf and gave Gandalf face that's all.

"Take out the contract, and Morgan's copy."
