Chapter 189 Dragon Slaying, Expedition Team Gather 【Subscription】

Rivendell.

In the exquisite and luxurious hall.

When the dwarf Groin wrapped a pack of gray cloth in his hand.

Morgan felt the weight of the package, and realized that this was the dragon scale armor he had asked Sorin Oakenshield to forge ten years ago.

"Thank Sorin for me."

Morgan took the package, his eyes were slightly dazed, and he immediately reacted, looked at Groin in front of him and smiled.

"If you want to thank Sorin, you should go to Erebor, but you haven't been there for a while." Groyin said directly.

"Of course, I'll find you guys for a drink when I'm done with my work."

Morgan responded with a laugh, meeting old friends made him feel better.

In the main hall, we briefly recounted the past.

The crowd quickly separated.

Because Lord Eldron has ordered to go down to prepare the banquet.

In the past few days, not only Groin and Jin Li, who represent the Lonely Mountain Erebor, have come to Rivendell, but also several other important members from other forces have arrived one after another.

Recently, Rivendell has had a lot of guests.

It just so happened that Morgan Aragon and several hobbits also arrived, so naturally there was going to be a banquet.

There were quite a few people at this banquet.

To avoid impoliteness, Morgan, Aragorn and a few little hobbits naturally need to take a good bath first to get rid of the dust on their bodies.

Just before the banquet starts, there is still some time.

Gandalf has always had his own room in Rivendell.

Morgan now has it too.

The place where the four little hobbits lived was a little far from where Morgan lived.

As for Aragorn, he grew up in Rivendell since he was a child and has lived in Rivendell for decades, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about where he lives.

Send away the elf attendant.

When walking into this room that I have lived in many times.

There is a huge bathtub in the room, and the fog in the bathtub rises.

"click"

After closing the door, he casually put the package that Glo Yin gave him on the table.

Morgan stripped herself naked as fast as she could, and stepped into the tub.

When his whole body was soaked in the scalding hot water, Morgan couldn't help moaning, it was so comfortable.

This road escorted several hobbits from Hobbiton to Rivendell.

Although it seemed majestic, he did not fall into a disadvantage in the battle against those terrifying ring spirits.

But only Morgan knew the danger and the fatigue accumulated in his body.

At this time, it was soaked in scalding hot water.

Morgan only felt that all his fatigue during this time had been dissipated in this bucket of hot water.

So, naturally, he fell asleep in the bathtub.

When Morgan opened his eyes again, the water in the tub had already cooled down.

But no one came to knock on the door. Obviously, not too long had passed, and the banquet had not started yet, otherwise someone would have knocked on the door.

Morgan slept very comfortably during this short sleep.

Of course, this comfort does not mean the comfort of sleeping in a bathtub.

After all, sleeping in a bathtub is not as good as sleeping in a bed.

This comfort refers to Morgan's constant vigilance when Rivendell can let go of being in the wild.

Let the mind relax, let the spirit relax.

Take a nap in such a comfortable state, and wake up naturally in a good state.

In the cold water of the bathtub, Morgan carefully scrubbed his whole body clean at this time.

After getting out of the bathtub, he took out the spare clean clothes from the dimensional ring, a set of luxurious and delicate light green robes.

This was prepared for Morgan by his daughter-in-law Tariel, who was far away in the woodland kingdom, before his departure.

Putting on his robe, Morgan walked to the table, looked at the gray package on the table, and stretched out his hand to untie it.

Soon, a piece of armor with exquisite shape and fine lines appeared in front of him.

Atmospheric, heavy, dignified, also, very conspicuous.

This was Morgan's first impression of the armor forged from the scales of Smaug the dragon.

very good!

When Morgan saw the armor in front of him for the first time, he immediately let go of his worries.

It has been ten years since the material was handed over to Thorin Oak Shield.

The other party promised from one year at the beginning, to two years, to three years.

In the end, Morgan had almost given up hope, and almost forgot time in his heart.

Thorin Oakenshield gave him a surprise.

What a pleasant surprise, he didn't expect it at first, after all Thorin Oakenshield and Balin had explained to him the difficulty of forging the dragon scales.

But even Thorin they gave a surprise.

While looking forward to it in Morgan's heart, he was also a little worried.

The scales of the dragon were difficult to forge, and he was worried that the armor would be forged ugly.

But the crimson armor that appeared in front of him completely shattered Morgan's worries.

He was very satisfied with the shape and color of the armor.

The craftsmanship of the Lonely Mountain Dwarves is indeed extraordinary.

Morgan reached out and touched it, the armor scales were cold, smooth, thick, and hard.

This kind of touch immediately reminded him of the hardest armor he had come into contact with so far: the armor of the Nazgul.

But Morgan felt that the dragon scale armor in front of him was obviously harder than the armor on the ring spirits.

This dragon scale armor is a half body armor, that is, it can only be worn to the waist and abdomen.

However, in addition to this half body armor, there are two relatively small leg armors (leg armor, as the name implies, are strapped to the legs) in the package.

And, there is also a dagger, a dagger half a meter long with a handle and a blade, and the blade is dark red.

This dagger should be forged from the dragon horn he gave to Thorin Oakenshield.

Although there is only one handle, Morgan is already satisfied.

"very good."

Morgan played with the dark red dagger casually, feeling happy in his heart.

"An armor can have no name."

"But this short sword is no good. At least it was forged from the horn of the famous northern dragon Smaug. It deserves a name anyway."

Morgan looked at the dagger in his hand and thought to himself.

At this moment, a name popped up in his mind inexplicably: "Slaying the Dragon".

60 years ago, although Morgan said that he and Bard killed the dragon Smaug.

However, only Morgan himself knows.

Although he put in a lot of effort in that battle.

But for killing Smaug, he did take credit for Bard.

Although Bud doesn't think so.

But Morgan himself knew better.

Name this short sword "Dragon Slaying".

It can be regarded as a goal and a wish Morgan has set for himself in his heart.

One day, he must kill a dragon with his own hands.

"bang bang bang"

At this time, there was a knock on the door suddenly.

"Who's knocking on the door?"

Speaking casually, Morgan reached out and quickly put the dragon-scale armor and leg armor in front of him into the dimension ring, and then inserted the dagger Slaying Dragon into the dagger scabbard at his waist.

"bang bang bang"

The people outside the door did not speak, and the knocking on the door continued.

Morgan turned and walked towards the door, but the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

The only ones who can be so rude are definitely friends.

"click"

As soon as Morgan opened the door, he saw a small old man with white hair and beige clothes standing in front of him with a smile.

"Bilbo"

Morgan cried out in surprise, and immediately bowed slightly and hugged Bilbo.

Although he knew that Bilbo left the Shire and went to Rivendell.

But not long after Morgan hurried to Rivendell, the dwarf Gloin brought the dragon scale armor, and he really didn't think of Bilbo for a while.

"Morgan, my friend"

Bilbo let go of Morgan and said with a smile: "I got the news from the elf that you came here, so I came to see."

Bilbo smiled happily, his face was wrinkled, but he was in good spirits.

"where do you live now?"

Morgan asked Bilbo with a smile, and Bilbo immediately pointed to the side not far away: "It's still the same room."

"That's great, we live as neighbors again, and we don't have to go far to call people for barbecue at night."

"BBQ, I haven't had BBQ in a while"

Bilbo spoke with a smile on his face. Although he was in a good state of mind, he was indeed old, and his tone of voice had become a little weak. He was far different from the young Bilbo 60 years ago.

"It's not just me coming here this time, but also Gandalf, and there are others that you won't be able to guess."

Morgan smiled and said, "Wait for me, I'll pack up and come out."

Then he turned around and entered the room, and quickly tidied up the clothes on the ground.

Morgan walked out of the room with short shoulder-length hair and a delicate light green robe.

"Come on, let's visit old friends together."

Morgan led Bilbo to the road ahead, and said, looking at his old friends beside him: "Bilbo, you must not guess who else came to Rivendell except me and Gandalf?"

"Who else"

Bilbo laughed and said, "Wait a minute, you'll have to let me think about it."

"Okay, you can think about it anyway, you won't be able to guess it anyway."

Morgan smiled calmly.

Among the many friends he came to this world to make friends with were wizards, dwarves, hobbits, elves, and humans.

Among them, the wizard Gandalf and the elves are excluded first.

Their lifespan is so long that there is no end in sight.

As for dwarves, most of them live between 300 and [-] years old, and a few dwarves can live to more than [-] years old.

Hobbits live between ninety and one hundred years.

Average human life expectancy is comparable to that of hobbits.

Because of the different life spans of different races, Morgan has sent away several friends.

First, the king of the Valley Gang, Bard the Dragon Slayer;

Then there is Bud's eldest daughter Xuege;

Then Barn, son of Bard;
Sending these three away in a row, Morgan understood some of the mentality of those long-lived races.

But even so, looking around him was almost looking at Bilbo getting older.

Morgan still has mixed emotions in his heart.

Speaking of which, he is now in his 80s.

When it was first passed through, the body was 26 years old, and with the following 60 years, it was 86 years old.

An 86-year-old human. Fortunately, he is different from ordinary humans.

Otherwise, even if he is not dead now, he will be too old to be shameful.

Thinking about it this way, Tariel was indeed very courageous when he dared to fall in love with him.

"I see, it's Frodo, isn't it?"

At this time, Bilbo's voice came from beside him: "You and Gandalf are here, and you will certainly not leave Frodo behind."

Bilbo looked at himself with a smile.

Morgan recovered, nodded and smiled, "You guessed it right, Frodo has indeed come."

"But there are others, and you know them."

Morgan continued with a smile.

But Bilbo froze: "There are others, or do I know them?"

Bilbo: "You'll have to make me think."

Morgan: "Of course."

Bilbo hesitated: "The ones I know, are they Sorin Balin of Erebor?"

Morgan shook his head: "No, let me give you another hint, they also belong to Shire."

"Charles, I know."

"How can I guess, I know all the big families in Hobbiton."

Bilbo was confused by Morgan's prompt.

at this time.

"Frodo"

A voice came from a distance in front of the side.

Bilbo looked up, and saw four hobbit figures of about the same size standing in the distance in front of him.

One of them was running towards him excitedly.

It was Frodo he had adopted.

"Bilbo"

Frodo rushed up excitedly, and embraced the gray-haired Bilbo.

Bilbo patted Frodo on the shoulder with a kind smile, and said happily, "Frodo, my good boy!"

At this time, the three hobbits, Sam and Meripipin, also came over at this time.

Bilbo and Frodo chatted briefly, looked at Morgan with a smile, and said, "Now I know."

"of course"

Morgan smiled and said, "The three of them are standing in front of you."

"Let's go, the banquet is about to start."

Morgan turned and walked on as he spoke, Bilbo beside him.

Frodo and Sam four followed behind.

Speaking of which, Sam and Meripipin naturally knew Hobbiton, and even Bilbo, the richest man in Shire.

But, just as they were with Morgan, they were also a little cautious with this somewhat legendary Bilbo.

Apart from a brief greeting with Bilbo just now, there was nothing else to say.

A group of people walked along the road.

Before he had gone far, he saw an elf approaching in front of him.

Morgan is very familiar with Rivendell now, and knows many elves, and this is the one in front of him.

After saying hello, I found that the other party was here to ask me to wait for someone to have a banquet.

Follow the elf all the way through the Garden Fountain Loft.

Finally walked into a huge open-air garden.

A group of people walked into the garden, only to find that many people had gathered here.

Morgan took Bilbo and the four little hobbits for a big battle.

Gandalf, who was chatting, saw Morgan coming, and immediately saw Bilbo beside him, and immediately walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Bilbo"

"Gandalf"

The two simply hugged each other.

Gandalf let go of Bilbo, took two steps back and looked at Bilbo with a smile, "You look very good."

"Of course, there is no noise here, which will affect my writing."

Bilbo said happily.

"Bilbo"

Suddenly, a rough voice came over.

The red-haired and red-bearded dwarf Gloin came forward with his son Gimli. Bilbo was slightly taken aback, and immediately said excitedly, "Gloin, you are Gloin."

"Of course it is me."

Seeing that the former strong and brave little friend had turned gray-haired, Groin couldn't help but sighed, "Bilbo, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

It's been a long time indeed.

Since the Battle of the Five Armies 60 years ago, the lonely mountain has been farewell.

The two never saw each other again.

Gloin was not the only one who had never met Bilbo.

In the former Lonely Mountain Expedition Team, except that Whitebeard Balin and Morgan went to Shire to visit Bilbo more than 20 years ago.

None of the other dwarves had ever seen Bilbo.

As for the lonely mountain with high mountains and far distances, Bilbo also never went back to the lonely mountain because of his age.

Compare the dwarves and Bilbo in "The True House".

Morgan, who runs around, is very diligent.

at this time.

Suddenly there was a sound at the garden gate.

Morgan turned his head and saw Lord Eldron walking in with "Lord Golden Flower" Glorfindel and a tall human man with long black hair.
