At a much faster speed than when it came, the flying boat finally arrived at Bilbo Baggins' hometown, Hobbiton.

"Are you actually home?!"

Looking at the familiar scenery below the side of the ship, Bilbo Baggins, standing on the chair, had a look of surprise on his face.

"Would you like to go down and take a look?" Liu Ruian nodded and asked with a smile.

"Will it scare them?" Bilbo Baggins asked worriedly, looking at his fellow villagers who didn't notice anything strange in the sky.

"There is a secondary phantom on the flying boat that ordinary people cannot detect." Liu Ruian shook his head and said with a smile.

After receiving this answer, Bilbo Baggins finally chose to go down and take a look after confirming that he could not be discovered.

By the way, he moved some of the harvest from this trip back to his storage room, including Liu Ruian's share.

As for Thorin Oakenshield and Gandalf, they did not go down. Instead, they returned to Rivendell together after Liu Ruian and Bilbo Baggins finished moving their things.

This test flight was not a long one, but the result made everyone quite satisfied.

While Elrond was simply surprised by someone's alchemy, Gandalf and Thorin Bilbo valued the strategic significance of this spaceship more.

With it, the trip to Gushan is not only faster, but also safer.

It was precisely because of this consideration that Liu Ruian decided to stay in Rivendell for more time.

While discussing some magical knowledge with the Elf King Elrond and Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield wisely chose to wait patiently.

Sitting in a round pavilion wrapped in magic vines, Liu Ruian said with a smile:

"Elrond, a total of twelve zero-level spells."

"Gandalf, you also have twelve zero-level spells here."

"There are still six magic items, and we are clear on both."

After a period of bargaining, Liu Ruian finally exchanged 24 zero-level spells and six magic items for a batch of magical knowledge in this world from Elrond and Gandalf.

Liu Ruian was not surprised that the zero-level spells chosen by Elrond and Gandalf were not repeated.

You don't need to think about it to know that these two people will definitely have a deal in private, which means that one person gets 24 zero-level spells.

Regarding this transaction, it seems that Liu Ruian suffered a big loss.

After all, every zero-level spell with very practical value cannot be compared with those vague magical knowledge.

Not to mention that Liu Ruian also equipped with six magic items, including Gandalf's new wand and the Elven King Elrond's new sword.

But for Liu Ruifa, he took advantage of this transaction.

After all, whether it is zero-level spells or magic items, they are themselves tools to corrode the world.

If it weren't for the fact that both Gandalf and Elrond were not fools, there was an Elf Queen behind who was even more of a master, a master, a master.

Liu Ruian planned to vomit blood and have a huge sale, directly trading all the spells below the fifth level in the entire spell book.

As for the magical knowledge obtained through transactions, it may be obscure and difficult for others, but for Liu Ruian, he can easily deduce what he wants.

Just after the transaction was completed, when Liu Ruian was about to take Thorin Oakenshield and the others on the road again, two distinguished guests came to Rivendell.

"Dragon, are you really not coming?" The rejected Elf King Ai

Erlond, asked.

"No, according to what we say there, this is your housework, and I won't participate as an outsider." Liu Ruian shook his head and said with a smile:

"I will be ready with Thorin and the others, and we will set off as soon as Gandalf's side is over."

Faced with such an answer, Elrond just remained silent for a short while and did not press any further.

"Dragon, what do you think will happen?" Thorin Oakenshield couldn't help but ask as he stepped forward as he watched Gandalf and the Elf King Elrond leave.

"It should have something to do with Ludgeist." Liu Ruian, who knew the plot very well, replied pretending to be uncertain.

"That brown-robed wizard?" Thorin Oakenshield was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Yes, I have a bad feeling." Liu Ruian nodded, deliberately saying with a solemn expression.

"Is it related to Elbor?" Thorin Oakenshield, who looked a little ugly, asked eagerly.

"Of course not, this matter should have nothing to do with us." Liu Ruian, who suppressed the smile in his heart, shook his head and replied:

"At least it won't matter for now. As for what will happen in the future, who can say clearly."

"But according to what we say there, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up, so we can just take a look."

Seeing that the person was not joking, and feeling that there was no need for the person to joke about such a thing, Thorin Oakenshield's expression immediately softened a lot.

As long as he can kill the dragon Smaug and take back the Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield doesn't care about other things.

"So, how have you considered that matter?" Thorin Oakenshield couldn't help but ask after he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two days, although Thorin Oakenshield did not openly talk about his thoughts, he did test them with words several times.

"I can agree to help you kill that fire dragon and take it back to Gushan, but..." Liu Ruian said with a smile.

"As long as you can help me kill Smaug and take back the Lonely Mountain, I can agree to any conditions." Thorin Oakenshield promised before anyone could finish his words.

Regarding this promise, Liu Ruian only showed a playful smile.

That's right, Thorin Oakenshield's performance along the way is definitely not outstanding.

But to say that the other party is stupid is absolutely nonsense.

Take the promise just now, it looks pretty good.

But in reality?Just draw a big pie.

Yes, Thorin Oakenshield is indeed the most orthodox prince of the Turin dwarves. As long as he can take back the Lonely Mountain and Elbor, the benefits he can pay are huge.

But don't forget, both the Lonely Mountain and Elbor are now occupied by the dragon Smaugan.

It would be an exaggeration to describe Thorin Oakenshield as penniless at the moment, but he absolutely cannot afford to hire Liu Ruian.

There are too many people who make empty promises of benefits, but then burn bridges and turn their backs on them afterwards.

In fact, in the original plot, this guy did exactly that!

It was clearly written in the expedition agreement that all harvests would be shared equally on a per-person basis.

But after driving away Smaug and regaining Elbor, Thorin Oakenshield made the same mistake as his father and grandfather!

Fortunately, for Liu Ruian, this problem is not difficult to solve.

"Since you said so, let's sign a magic contract." Liu Ruian took out a magic contract from his body and said with a smile. (To be continued.)
