Lord Stark

Under Loki's inducement, Bilbo Baggins explained clearly what happened at that time, and while Loki quickly sorted out the information of this world, he exclaimed: "Oh, Mr. Baggins, you are really a noble man. To be honest, in the face of the temptation of such a huge wealth, no one can do better than you!"

Bilbo Baggins blushed, he waved his hands, and said, "Honestly speaking, sometimes I still regret it. One fourteenth of gold is also a mountain of gold, but after thinking about it, for Huo No amount of gold coins is really useful to a bitman, is it?" Bilbo Baggins looked around his pocket hole happily: "I think I'm rich enough, I have enough food, A lot of collectibles, you can sit in front of the warm fireplace, if there is a lot of gold in my house, should I be like a dragon guarding my wealth, thinking about whether someone will steal from me every day wealth? Oh, that would be a nightmare!"

Matthew looked at Bilbo Baggins in amazement. He really admired this hobbit. To be honest, if Matthew encountered so much wealth, he would not be able to calm down. For wizards, knowledge is money , money also represents knowledge, God Mani is the most powerful god, poor brave people often only exist in the praises of troubadours, but in reality, the ending of poor adventurers is often not so beautiful, unless they A blind cat can bump into a dead mouse, and get rich overnight!

"What's going on over there on the Lonely Mountain?" Loki asked curiously, "Have the dwarves occupied it?"

Bilbo Baggins hesitated, then said: "Perhaps, after all, it was the country of the dwarves! Do you want to go there too? But it's not a good way to go, and there may be no goblins now, but neither are the elves." What a talkative person, they arrested the dwarves and almost starved them to death!"

Matthew couldn't help laughing. Many people think that elves are beautiful creatures. In fact, in his previous life, none of the elves he met was easy to mess with. In a long time ago, high elves and even the whole world Because in that era, the elves were the gods who held the throne high. If the elves fell into civil strife later, and the powerhouses of other races took the opportunity to enshrine the gods, the elves would not have retreated to the forest.

Those long-eared elves have always been a relatively violent race. For their fellow race, they are indeed as warm as spring. It is normal to sing and dance together when they meet them, but it is very bad when they meet other races. Without further ado, let's have some arrow rain as an appetizer.

He was not surprised, therefore, to hear Bilbo Baggins speak of the elves.

Matthew asked with a smile: "Mr. Baggins, do you still have contact with that mage Gandalf now? You see, we are also mages, and we hope to communicate with other mages!"

Bilbo Baggins shook his head and said: "Gandalf has always been elusive. Sometimes he will appear suddenly and set off fireworks at festivals, but sometimes he won't show up for a long time. At least I have I haven't heard from him for three years!" After thinking for a while, Bilbo Baggins said, "If you want to go to the Lonely Mountain, I have a map left over from that time, and you can take it with you!"

Rocky smiled and said: "Thank you so much, Mr. Baggins, you are such a warm-hearted person!"

Bilbo Baggins waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, I don't need those anymore anyway, I think that adventure was probably the most impulsive decision in my life, and I probably won't make an impulsive decision a second time." !"

Both Loki and Matthew laughed. To be honest, they really liked such a hobbit, with a really cute personality.

The two quickly got the map drawn on the parchment. To be honest, this map is really too rough, there is no scale, and the lines on it are not accurate. The person who drew the map is probably an artist, not a realist. kind of.

Bilbo Baggins is used to this. After all, maps of this era look like this. He has never seen that kind of satellite high-definition map that is accurate to centimeters.

Rocky and Matthew still expressed their gratitude to Bilbo Baggins, and they took out some handicrafts as gifts for Bilbo Baggins. The handicrafts from modern times were obviously very popular with Bilbo Baggins, and he even I felt a bit ashamed, so when I heard that the two of them didn't plan to stay here in Shire and were about to embark on a journey again, I immediately packed the jam, ham and boiled syrup that I made. He bought a lot and asked the two to take it with them, saying that they might have a long time to eat and sleep on the road, and it would be more reliable to bring some food. Both Matthew and Rocky accepted his kindness frankly.

Matthew drew out his scepter and cast a guardian blessing magic on Bilbo Baggins: "Dear friend, this is a parting gift for you, may the magic bless you!"

Bilbo Baggins was a little stunned as he watched the magic halo flash past him, but he didn't ask about the effect of the magic, and he didn't think Matthew would harm him, so he was very calm about it, and he said with a smile: "Oh, of course, we're friends! If I didn't really want to leave the Shire again, I'd like to go on an adventure with you! Well, goodbye, my two mage friends, er, may magic bless you! "

After saying good-bye to Bilbo Baggins, Loki said in a low voice, "Do you feel it?"

Matthew nodded: "Yes, that adventure did bring this Mr. Baggins a great gift!"

Loki sighed lightly: "An unusually dark and evil breath, to be honest, I've only felt this kind of breath from those high-level demons in hell!"

Matthew also said: "That's right, the water in this world is very deep! I don't know how powerful those gods can exert in this so-called Middle-earth world!"

Loki touched his scepter and said coldly: "If they really threaten us, then let's see how far we are from those so-called gods!"

Middle-earth is too big, and another problem is that the population here is relatively small. After leaving the Shire for a long time, they have not seen any people. However, Matthew and Loki are not in a hurry. They need to adjust their own strength. There is no magic net bonus here, and Matthew's injury is not completely healed. Therefore, the strength that Matthew can exert is only about half of the original strength. They need to adjust to make their own strength become stronger. Comply with the rules of this world.

"I don't know what a mage in this world looks like!" Matthew said while analyzing the unique rules of this world with his omniscient eyes.

Loki used his magic wand to cast a prophecy. They didn't intend to go to Lonely Mountain according to the map's guidance. Lonely Mountain is not the place where the dragon was entrenched in the past. For Matthew and Loki, there is not much As for the gold there, to be honest, it’s really nothing. You know, the main body of Asgard is made of gold, and this thing is really not worth much in Asgard.

After finding out a vague direction through divination, Loki said: "We will definitely meet a mage in this world if we walk more. According to Baggins, that Gandalf is not an unreasonable person. We can Communicate with each other!"

Matthew nodded: "I hope so! I really want to know what kind of magic in this world will be!" However, Matthew was quickly disappointed.

They followed the direction guided by the prophecy, and it didn't take long before they arrived at a human settlement. It was a small town, and there were not many people in total. Matthew and Loki were dressed brightly. It attracted people's attention, and the two went directly to the only hotel in the town, which also functions as a tavern.

Loki directly threw a money bag on the counter, which was full of gold coins. After the two saw the gold coins of this world at Bilbo Baggins, Matthew stamped them out with a mold. I bought tens of thousands of gold coins, which is enough for anything.

Immediately, the attention of everyone in the tavern was attracted, and the eyes of many people showed incomparable greed.

Loki chuckled, and looked around at the people in the tavern contemptuously. Some of them sensed the danger immediately and turned their heads away, but there were still some people, probably some desperadoes. It seemed that the bloody smell on his body could hardly be washed away.

Rocky knocked on the counter there, and said in a commanding tone: "We need two good horses!"

The bartender behind the counter immediately came over with flattering eyes: "Dignified gentlemen, I am happy to help you! If you want a good horse, we have it here, and you can choose whatever you want!"

Matthew nodded, and also put on a condescending posture: "Of course, as long as the goods are good, money is not a problem!"

Immediately, the bartender looked even more obsequious: "Of course, absolutely no problem, gentlemen, please come this way!"

Loki and Matthew followed the bartender to the back of the tavern. There was a stable with many horses tied in it. The bartender bowed his waist and introduced: "Gentlemen, look at this horse. Walking in the mountains and forests, there will be no problems! Look at this horse, its coat color is so bright, although its temper is a bit grumpy, but other aspects are absolutely top-notch..."

Matthew and Rocky only need to use the identification technique on these horses, and they quickly picked out two suitable horses. Of course, in such a small place, you can't expect any thousand-mile horses, but ordinary healthy horses are enough for the time being. used!Matthew said directly: "It's just these two horses, give us a full set!" As he said, he threw another shiny gold coin, and saw that the bartender's eyes almost started to shine.

The purchasing power of gold coins in this world is absolutely strong. The bag of gold coins that Loki just bought could buy half of the town. There is no reason for the tavern to flatter a big customer like him.

Matthew and the others are not in a hurry to leave after buying a horse. They are going to inquire about some news at the tavern first. It is impossible to expect good news in this kind of place. After all, this is the limitation of the times, and a place like a small town , even the passing adventurers and travelers have traveled so far, and what they know is probably the news within a radius of a hundred miles, but Matthew and Loki only need to know the news, and then they heard the news of Gandalf.
