Marvel World Traveler

Looking at the "contract" in front of him, Liu Ruian's face was full of embarrassment.

"Cash payments shall not exceed one-sixteenth of the total profits, if any."

The first half of this sentence is quite reasonable. There are thirteen dwarves plus Gandalf, as well as Bilbo Baggins who couldn't resist the temptation of adventure after all, plus Liu Ruian's sixteen people just now.

In this life-threatening journey, it is indeed fair for sixteen people to share the possible wealth equally.

But adding the second half of the sentence gives people a very embarrassing feeling, but this is not the end.

"We are not responsible for any harm permitted or caused below."

"Including but not limited to body tearing, removal of internal organs, and burning to ashes..."

Seeing that there were obviously more "disclaimer" clauses than the contract with only one income clause, Liu Ruian wanted to say that compared with this contract, all insurance companies in the real world were models of fair transactions!

Unfortunately, Liu Ruian hesitated for a moment before signing the contract with the expectant eyes of the dwarves.

However, before signing the contract, Liu Ruian added a clause in the contract on the grounds that he contributed the most.

Once you discover a treasure during your journey, you will have priority.

Gandalf and the others agreed to this without any hesitation.

After all, this trip is not really about going out for fun. In their opinion, it is not an exaggeration to describe the future as having no bright future.

But with the addition of a powerful mage like Liu Ruian, not to mention safety, the comfort level will definitely be much better.

In this case, it is just a dispensable requirement. Not only will no one feel that they are losing money, but everyone including Thorin Oakenshield feels that they are making money!

It is different from Bilbo Baggins who left home in a hurry and almost lost his home when he returned in the original plot.

Before Liu Ruian set off, he not only stored the goods that could not be taken away at Bilbo Baggins' home.

At the same time, he also notified the most prestigious elders in Hobbiton that his Bilbo Baggins was just going on a trip.

It could be as fast as one or two years, or as slow as three to five years. Therefore, it is normal to not come back for a long time. There is no need to think that the two of them are dead and then divide the things in the house.

Although Liu Ruian said this in a joking tone, the hobbits present laughed and wrote down the incident.

There was no other way. Before Liu Ruian left Bilbo Baggins' house, he cast several spells in front of everyone.

Even if these spells are only used to prevent dust, water, fire, corrosion, and theft, out of awe of the mysterious power, no one dares to mess with it, at least not in the short term.

After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Liu Ruian and his party left this paradise with the farewell of all the residents of Hobbiton.

The journey just started and it was pretty good.

Blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, grass, fresh air, beautiful scenery, everything is so beautiful.

But not long after the group entered the forest, it started to rain.

Bilbo Baggins, who was completely unprepared, was embarrassed. In fact, everyone, including Gandalf, was embarrassed.

Of course not including Liu Ruian.

A bit of magical light bloomed on Liu Ruian's head before the rain fell, and the invisible power turned into a hemispherical shield to completely block the rain that was changing.

Even the ordinary horse under Liu Ruian's seat also enjoyed the benefits of this spell.

"I

Said Mr. Long, can't you also cast such a spell on us? "Bilbo Baggins, who was soon soaked in the rain, said.

"Of course, but casting spells requires my strength." Liu Ruian shrugged and said with a smile:

"The terms of the contract do not include such services, so I have to charge money."

"What?!"

Bilbo Baggins, who didn't expect such an answer at all, had a very pained expression.

However, a few minutes later, Liu Ruian had several dirty money bags in his hands.

There is no other way. When they don't see anyone enjoying themselves, Thorin Oakenshield and the others can only endure this damn weather.

But now that there are more comfortable options, who can bear it?

What's more, for everyone, as long as they can return to Elpol, they are still afraid of not having money? !

After getting the money bag, Liu Ruian carefully took out the coins and counted them.

After finding a few old coins for Bahrain and others to exchange, they were satisfied and put these silver coins into their luxurious money bags.

As for the original old money bags, Liu Ruian threw them back into the hands of their owners with a look of disgust.

I have to say that although the money was spent, Thorin Oakenshield and the others were very heartbroken because someone was too dark.

But when you enjoy it, the feeling is worth it in one word!

Watching the transparent rain falling from the sky, it slid down around my head.

Not only did the people on the horses avoid the hardship of being soaked in the rain, but they could also enjoy the strange scenery in front of them.

Moreover, although Liu Ruian killed everyone on the grounds that his magic was priceless, the service he provided was excellent.

Not to mention that the rain-proof spell itself also has a certain defensive effect, which can avoid some accidents on the trees and in the sky.

For example, snakes on the trees, poisonous insects flying in the air, etc.

At the same time, Liu Ruian also used the excuse of buying one and getting one free, and used a "cleaning up" spell on everyone who had been soaked in water before.

Not only did it make the originally damp clothes dry, but it also made everyone's clothes much cleaner.

With Liu Ruian's magic, the whole trip was obviously much easier and faster than before.

What made the dwarves depressed was that the rain that was getting heavier actually stopped soon after leaving the forest.

Thorin Oakenshield and the others, who originally thought that choosing pay-per-view would be able to use up more time, felt quite depressed.

According to the significantly improved traveling speed, it is said that everyone can walk more distance.

In Gandalf's opinion, it was just in time to rush to the Buried Valley and get supplies from the elves.

It is a pity that due to the hatred between the Turin dwarves and the elves, Thorin Oakenshield not only distrusts the elves but is even hostile to them.

In addition, Liu Ruian said that there is no magic to find a safe place to live in, but a suitable environment can reduce his mana consumption.

At the same time, if you consume too much of your own strength, once you encounter any sudden danger, you will obviously lose more than you gain.

For this answer, Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield quite agree.

After all, this trip is basically either in the mountains or somewhere special.

Coupled with the possibility of orcs appearing, the risk factor is relatively high.

Instead of forcing ourselves to travel a little longer, it is better to find a safe place to rest before we go deep into the mountains. (To be continued.)
