Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 65 Unexpected Visitor (please order first)

At this time, the dwarves had moved all the food out of the hobbit storage room on their own initiative, and then brought three tables, stacked one on top of the other to form a long dining table.

"Thorin was a bit later." Balin, the most polite of all the dwarves, thanked Bilbo, and then explained: "You know, we heard he was back, so we walked to the Sorin made a detour to Anuminas when he was at Lake Ao."

Bilbo heard several key words again, among which Thorin, him, and Annuminas were the ones that made Bilbo most curious: "He? Who is he?"

Turns out everyone, I mean the dwarves, was more surprised than he.

"You don't know?" Kili, the youngest and most handsome dwarf said excitedly: "He is almost the greatest man of our time! His name is Lol Odegon, he used to call himself Dragon Bourne, but now he is called Turka Arakano..."

This name seemed to have magical powers. When the young dwarf prince blurted out, everyone fell silent and looked serious, as if this was the only way to show their respect.

"Yes, I know about the Silver King," said Bilbo dryly, which was when he was nervous: "Has he anything to do with our adventure? I mean, I've heard from several people in the past two days." heard the name."

What he didn't realize was that he had turned your adventure into ours.

"Because if there are no mistakes, he is one of the people who will take risks with us." There was a hint of slyness in the wizard's eyes: "And in fact, you have seen him before, but you haven't yet identified that person with the person you know. It's just a coincidence."

So our Mr. Hobbit is completely stupid, and he keeps chanting something that no one can understand.

The dwarf looked even happier.They arranged the trays and all the cutlery like a breeze!Then, while eating Hesse crazily, he clapped his hands and sang some ditties to annoy the Hobbits.

"He rode the Holy Ghost, breathing fire

The sound is like the roar of a dragon.

He opened his eyes and there was light inside
Taller than a giant.

He is Turka Arakano, the Silver King.

Judge of Bilbo Baggins! "

Our Mr. Baggins blushed even more now. He didn't know if he was angry or because he finally remembered something and was frightened.

Or just plain shy.

"Please don't do this, watch the table. Oh no, my floor. Please, the knives and forks will be blunt, can't you be quiet?"

But the dwarves can make trouble even at the banquet of Cirdan and Elrond, how can they give face to a little hobbit?

Seeing the distraught and shy hobbit, the dwarves laughed and sang another ditty.

Break the glass and throw the plate!

Dull the knife and bend the fork!
Break the bottle and burn the cork!

Bilbo Baggins hated it!

The tablecloth was torn and oil stained!

Milk spilled on the floor!

The wine was spilled on the door!

Bones left in the bedroom carpet!

Throw it in the big pot;

Take a big stick and pound hard;

If it is still intact after pounding,

Send it to the living room when the ball rolls!

Bilbo Baggins hated it!

careful!Don't smash the plate!

Listen, Bilbo is almost pissed off by these dreadful dwarves.But that's what they are, rude and enthusiastic, always rowdy, but get used to it.

"No, I don't want to get used to it at all," Bilbo shouted at his wizard, with tears of grievance in his eyes.

Well, it was a bit like ten years ago.

thought Gandalf.

at this time.

bang bang.

There was a loud hammering on the door.

"he came."

Everyone fell silent.

"I think you can go and open the door, my dear Bilbo." The wizard said with a smile, his eyes and expression seemed to be watching a good show: "I think your answer is right outside the door."

Bilbo's heart beat faster, and he wondered if he had even heard what the wizard was saying, and went stiffly to open the door.

In came a very imposing dwarf.

He was wearing an expensive fur waistcoat with a gold belt pinned around his waist, and a ruby ​​ring in his hand was particularly conspicuous.

"Gandalf."

As soon as Thorin came in, he frowned and said, "I remember you said that this place is easy to find, but we got lost twice."

Suddenly Bilbo's memory came alive.

This was the dwarf king back then.

"and."

That voice that Bilbo will never forget all his life came out.

Behind Thorin, a tall figure almost blocked all the moonlight: "Hobbit houses are not a suitable place for banquets! I'm not saying they are bad, hobbit caves are notoriously comfortable . But for me, it's really inconvenient."

The giant shadow even needs to bend down completely to see the people and things inside.

"Turka!"

The wizard happily called out the name that almost every household knew.

The dwarves also cheered suddenly.

Among them, Kili and Fili were the happiest. The two young dwarves ran to the door excitedly, and said respectfully, "My lord."

Immediately after that, Bahrain and Bumble came over curiously.

Several of the dwarves also saw the dragonborn for the first time, and they were also very curious about the great figures who are now being praised among dwarves, elves, and humans.

As a result, the dwarves first saw Bilbo Baggins standing at the door of his house like a stone statue, motionless.

Until Thorin even frowned and said: "This hobbit like a grocer actually let the famous silver king stand at the door of his house. Should he be said to be brave or rude?"

Our poor Mr. Baggins was suddenly awakened.He stammered, he was at a loss, and he bowed to the distinguished guests outside the door with a flushed face and said: "Bilbo Baggins is at your service, my lord."

Then the guest outside the door smiled and said, "You're welcome, Bilbo Baggins, we took the liberty to come here and disturb you."

"Oh, please forgive me."

The wizard stepped forward and said, "My lord, I forgot about this. Maybe you can just sit on the floor. At least it's warm here. It's much more comfortable than being outside."

But even Bilbo caught the schadenfreude in his words, as if speaking to an old friend whom he hadn't seen in years.

Actually.

Turka Arakano wasn't really angry either.He raised the hood on his head, revealing that handsome face, and the crown on his forehead made even Bilbo slightly distracted.

particular.

Bilbo will never forget those golden vertical pupils.

"I can hear your schadenfreude, Mythrandil," said the Dragonborn, and bent over awkwardly in a gesture that made Bilbo feel for the first time that a hobbit's cave was really not a good place to entertain people. , and with the help of other dwarves, walked (actually drilled) in.

It's much better to go all the way into the living room.

Kili took a low solid wooden box and let Turka sit on it, which saved the dragonborn from sitting on the floor.

It was Bilbo's mother's dowry box, but now, who cares.

But even so, when the distinguished guest came in, his head still hit the ceiling many times.

This almost made Bilbo more embarrassed and uneasy. "I'm sorry, my lord." He said with shame on his face.

"Why are you apologizing?"

Turka smiled at him.I haven't seen him for many years, but the dragonborn still remembers the little guy who dared to peek at the marching army (here refers to the height), and thinks of his teary eyes.

It's just that compared with the young man back then, the hobbit in front of him can already see the traces of the years to some extent.

The corners of the eyes and the forehead are wrinkled, and the expression and posture have changed from the fearless and energetic look of the past to more cautious and trembling.

Obviously, what Arazon said back then had some effect in the end.

In addition, when people reach middle age, they become less courageous.

Turka thought very rudely in his heart.

"Isn't this your home?" He said, "Guests do as they please. How can guests dislike the host's hospitality? This is very good, please don't take it to heart."

Bilbo stared blankly at the man in front of him.Although he was sitting, he was still taller than most of the dwarves and halflings present.He was wearing a gray cloak that covered the elf robes underneath.Ah, Kili helped him hang up his cloak.

Now he is even more dignified.

Although her hair has grown to her waist, her voice and appearance remain unchanged.

The power of time seems to have no effect on him, just like those immortal elves.

An emerald green gem is pinned to the neckline.

There was a strange sapphire ring on her finger, which was forged from mithril. It was shaped like two snakes holding each other and holding the gemstone on the face of the ring.

It's just that compared to the sharp-edged look at the beginning, the expression of the dragonborn at this time has become softer, and the light of the candlelight shone on his face, bright orange, like a holy light.

So slowly, the hobbit finally believed that the figure in his memory was the great hero sung on the Middle Continent today.

"Perhaps, would you like a cup of tea?" Bilbo regretted saying this.Although it is correct to say so according to the etiquette, but in this situation, let the guests sit on the wooden box and drink tea... eh.

"I think you can bring him a glass of wine." The wizard jumped out to help him out with a familiar tone. "I thought you would be with Lord Elrond, and I can mention it when I think about it, but I just heard that you returned to Annuminas, and it turned out like this."

"Something happened to Annuminas lately, so I hurried back." The two distinguished guests were playing charades, saying some things that Bilbo understood and some things that he did not understand.

For example, the aquatic production of Nengwei'ao Lake has decreased, the trees in the Twilight Hills have withered, the earth is drying up, there has been no rain in the north for many months, some things have come out again, and so on.

most important.

"plague?"

While Bilbo was going through his wine cabinet, he pricked up his ears to listen in on the conversation of the great people, and he heard a word that made his hair stand on end: "Excuse me, gentlemen, did I just hear the word plague?"

The dwarves stopped at the same time as the wizard.

Turka looked at him with a smile, took the miniature wine glass in his hand, looked helplessly at the wizard, and wet his lips: "Ah, please don't care, this has nothing to do with the Hobbit, my friend, you It sounds like you're just asking for trouble. Why don't you focus on the adventure? Bilbo Baggins, are you sure you want to join this mission?"
