Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 69 The Troll

at the same time.

Bilbo also encountered the first crisis since he went out to venture out of the house.

The day after the suspected encounter with a group of half-orcs.The squad crossed a small river.

Because of the rush of the river, a pony carrying supplies was washed away.Dorrie and Ori nearly drowned trying to save the pony.

Although the pony was rescued safely, the team lost most of their supplies.

So the dwarves, wet and tired, decided to camp early.The wizard saw that it was still early, and said that he wanted to go ahead to find the way.But no one came back until night.

So everyone can only decide to light a fire and cook.Use their already scarce supplies.

The accident happened at this time.

Bilbo took the cooked supper to Fili and Kili, who were keeping the horses.

"We have a disaster." The brothers drooped their faces. "We had 16 ponies in total, now we're down to 14."

And there was chaos.Trees were uprooted and pushed down; ponies panicked; giant footprints spread deep into the forest.

"We've been stolen." Mr. Snitch turned pale with shock.

"Do you think so too?" said Kili, one of the brothers. "It seems our Mr. Snitch sees the same way our hero sees."

Bilbo could not even tell whether he was speaking ironically or complimentingly.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Fili said, "As the master snitch in the team, you should have the most say in this matter."

But where does our poor Mr. Baggins know this?He had heard many stories about thieves in books, but none of them were really him.

He was still a good old man at this moment, as lukewarm as a ball of soft dough.

However, on the surface, he did not show timidity.The hobbit pretended to check around, which frightened the dwarf for a moment.Just when he couldn't help it, Bilbo saw a glint of fire out of the corner of his eye.

"Look! What's that!" he exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, you really deserve to be Master Baggins."

The three followed the firelight to a hidden place where three rock trolls sat.

They are cooking food and intend to eat any ponies they catch if they have time.Listening to their chat, I learned that the three silly guys are named William, Bert and Tom.

"If there is no situation, come back quickly; if there is a situation, come back with all your might! If you can't come back, just imitate the barn owl twice, and then imitate the long-eared owl, and we will find a way to meet you." Fili and Kili told him so.

and pushed him out.

what.

Bilbo swore he missed his warm home in Bag End more than ever at that moment.Miss his armchair, and his books.

I shouldn't have come out to take risks.

So he said to himself, and tiptoed into the shadows behind the three trolls.

He intends to secretly untie the bound pony.

Many of us know the rest of the story.

Mr. Baggins, who was a thief for the first time, was obviously not skilled enough, and soon he was discovered by the three trolls and arrested.

But when William, Bert, and Tom threatened him to tell if the hobbits had any companions, our master snitch, trembling like chaff, was courageous in the end not to tell the dwarves.

He said: "Good gentlemen, please don't roast me! I am a good cook myself, and I cook much better food than I can cook, if you understand what I mean. I will give Show off your culinary skills and make you a great breakfast, as long as you don't eat me for dinner."

"Poor little bastard," said William.He's fed up and drank a lot of beer: "Poor little bastard! Let him go!"

Burt said: "No, he's lying! There must be plenty of hobbits around here, and we might catch 'em all and make a pie! Grab his toes and put them on the fire, and see He said no!"

Tom said it was a good idea.

And so our Mr. Snitch was nearly out of luck.He almost became the first hobbit to be sacrificed on the adventure.

Fortunately, at this moment, the dwarves rushed out to save his life.

"Let him go, you idiots!"

Kili took the lead, gripping his dwarven broadsword, and shouted.

Fili, Nori, Dory, Ori, Groin, Oin, Beaver, Bofur, Duvalin, Balin, Bumbur, and especially Thorin, rushed out together.

They hacked with axes, struck with hammers, stabbed with swords, and William, Bert, and Tom were caught off guard, and Bilbo was saved.

But don't get too excited too soon.

As we said, trolls are thick-skinned, stupid guys with low IQ, but they are not low in force.Dwarves' weapons can hurt them, but they can't kill them.

In the melee, the little hobbit who was frightened and paralyzed soon became their prisoner of war again.

Said the wicked big fools, "Thiefs ought to die like thieves, and we might cut the little hobbits apart, what do you think?"

At this time, they are smarter and know how to threaten people.

Thorin was very angry.

The gloomy eyes can even spurt fire: "If you dare to hurt him, I will cut off all your heads."

However, seeing that the hobbit was shaking like chaff, but still did not beg for mercy, the dwarf king finally dropped the weapon in his hand.

"Never mind."

"Maybe our journey ends here," he said.

what.

Even in the days of the Westlands, Bilbo never forgot the dwarf's choice that day, and at that moment his heart left a place for his friend Thorin forever.

But there is no rush to grieve.

Because the dwarves and our Mr. Baggins are all right.While William, Bert, and Tom raised a bonfire, they were ready to roast the dwarfs.

"no no."

Through the chatter of the three trolls, Bilbo learned that they were afraid of the sun, and the hobbit trapped in a smelly sack couldn't help saying, "That's not the right way to cook dwarves!"

If neither the silver king nor the wizard can save us, then at least let me do my best, which can be regarded as repaying the dwarves for their choice.

No one knows how much courage burst out in our hobbit at that time, but he jumped up and stood among the three trolls, posing like a master chef.

These stupid big guys were really confused for a moment, because Bilbo said at the beginning that he was a cook, so they subconsciously thought that hobbits really knew how to cook dwarves.

"Do you know how to cook a dwarf?" William asked.

"Of course!" Bilbo said with a serious face, threatening it, "I have my own secret skills. Just like my thief skill."

"But you don't do too well as a thief," said Tom.

"That's because trolls have such sensitive noses." Master Bilbo was buying time by complimenting them again. "I just missed it."

"Don't interrupt!" said Burt. "I wonder what the dwarves should do. Maybe we should listen to the hobbit. He seems to understand."

At that time, the dwarves thought that Bilbo had really betrayed, and they shouted angrily.

Only the wise Balin saw something. He looked at a hobbit without saying a word, chatting with three trolls there.

"My secret trick is: before cooking, it's best to skin the dwarves first! Then check them for worms. You know, some dwarves like to have worms in their intestines! It's disgusting and dangerous. I usually don't risk it. This is a risk, because if you eat a dwarf with worms, you will also have worms in your stomach."

This passage could have been included in a bestseller of thrillers in Middle-earth, if ever there was one.

Sure enough, not to mention the trolls, even the dwarves were instantly frightened and broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Bilbo's terrible description.

"You despicable guy!" Du Valin yelled angrily: "I remember you! I remember you!"

"You've got worms in your belly! You black-hearted hobbit! I misread you!" said Kili.

The others also condemned the kind hobbit.

Only Balin gave Thorin a hard kick and motioned to him.Then Thorin kicked Kili, who screamed the most, and everyone realized it.

Because at this time, they all saw the faint red light that lit up in the sky.It was slim, but thanks to the eloquence of Master Bilbo Baggins, he really delayed for a long time.

"Yes, we are all infected with parasites, the ones with long arms, if you are not afraid, eat us." These elm-headed dwarves finally got the hang of it, and everyone changed from anger to agreement .

"Then what do you want us to do?" The ogre was a little impatient after hearing a lot of nonsense, William said angrily: "Let you go? No, you are taking us for fools, you little fox! "

What worried Bilbo the most happened, the troll decided to eat without listening to anyone.

"Sit down and be quiet."

A voice rushed into everyone's ears like the wind, and like the sun in the morning, it made people feel joyful and hopeful.

Sure enough, William, Bert and Tom sat down stupidly.

The voice said again, "Very well, now, let out that little snitch and master chef next to you!"

In the end, they really let Bilbo out obediently.

There was even a hint of confusion in the eyes of these trolls. Their low intelligence prevented them from understanding what was going on.

Only Bilbo and the dwarves, who had been let go inexplicably, woke up, because the voice was not aimed at them, so they broke free from the terrible magic.

"I've only been away for two days, why are you in such a mess?" A figure came out from the edge of the forest and asked gently.

The dwarves recognized the owner of the voice, and instantly boiled over. "Haha, it's Turka! The silver king has come to save us."

Facing the morning light in the east, Turka Aracano smiled and said to Bilbo: "Very clever words, Bilbo Baggins, your eloquence is better than your craft, whether it is cooking, or On the snitch side."

Bilbo blushed suddenly. "Trust me, it was just a miss." He emphasized: "I can do better, I mean the Snitch."

Turka couldn't help laughing, and the fatigue of rushing and worrying was swept away.

"Where is the wizard?"

The Dragonborn looked around and asked Bilbo and the dwarves a question that they were curious about too.

Sorin, who was rescued, said angrily: "He said he was going to explore the way ahead, but he never returned."

At this time, Ya Ruien jumped out of the horizon like a big disc, illuminating the earth orange.And the three rock trolls, who were suppressed by the magic power of the dragonborn's voice, screamed and turned into three real stone statues.

"It seems that I missed a good show." The wizard's voice sounded.

"Indeed." Turka looked towards the east road with a smile on his face, which was the direction of the valley.Gandalf ran over in a hurry from there.
