Chapter 157 Wayne Manor
Bilbo ran barefoot through the Shire village, and soon came near the village market.

It was still early in the morning, and before he got close, he saw that the entire market was crowded with people, and it was very lively. Almost half of the residents of Shire Village were crowded here.

The current governor of Shire Village, that is, their village chief, Ford Constant, 83 years old, stood on a half-circular wooden box, holding a horn made of oiled paper, and shouted loudly :
"The villagers of Shire Village are recruiting workers. This is a big project!"

"Dear Mr. Wayne, I want to recruit some workers from our Shire to build a large manor outside the birch forest on the other side of the river."

"The construction period is one year, and the salary is twice the market price. Now we need masons, carpenters, stonemasons, blacksmiths, porters, and handymen. The number is not limited. Three meals a day are included. There are three days of vacation every month. It rains heavily. And paid vacation.”

"This is an unheard of high salary. Mr. Wayne is such a generous man."

"Sign up now and start work the day after tomorrow. Regardless of whether you join this project or not, Mr. Wayne will invite the villagers of our Shire village to hold a grand open-air party next to the birch forest this afternoon."

"This is a noble and generous gentleman. As hospitable hobbits, we should be more enthusiastic to help this future neighbor of ours."

"Okay, Mr. Wayne's ingredients have been purchased, I'm going to pick ten hobbits with excellent cooking skills, and bring your kitchen utensils later, and go to the birch forest on the other side of the river with me to prepare for this time. prepare food for open-air banquets."

"We're going to entertain this gentleman who came from afar with the food that Hobbits are best at."

After saying this, Consul Ford smiled and nodded to a handsome man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters behind him. The handsome man also nodded in response, looking at the short hobbit residents who were only half his height, with a gentle look on his face. smile.

Then the old consul took up the trumpet and shouted:

"Move, move, lads, show your enthusiasm and show us hobbit hospitality."

"Today will be a happy day, but also a memorable day."

Listening to old Ford's rough smoking voice, Bilbo stood at the end of the crowd, stood on tiptoe, and finally got a clear view of the big man over the heads of his companions.

Handsome face, short blond hair tied into a ponytail, wearing a gorgeous satin robe, strong figure, looks young, with amber pupils, and a pair of pointed ears.

It was very different from the big man he had seen decades ago. At least, Bilbo had never seen a big man with pointed ears, but he was somewhat similar to the legendary elf.

And Bilbo also noticed that although the big man named Wayne was wearing silk and satin clothes that decent people had money to make, he was carrying a huge sword on his back. A hobbit is a head taller.

This made Bilbo, who was born with an adventurous gene in his blood, full of curiosity. He guessed that Wayne must be a man with many stories, and he was also an experienced fighter.

If you can drink milk tea, eat snacks, and smoke a pipe while listening to these adventure stories from the outside world, it will definitely be an unforgettable time.

Although the consul old Ford is old, he is very efficient in his work. Soon, under his leadership, a group of people went home to pack the pots and pans, surrounded Wayne, and went to the birch on the other side of the lake. Forest.

And Bilbo also took advantage of this opportunity to sneak up near Wayne. The cat was in the crowd, secretly looking at this strange big man, especially the huge sword with a gorgeous blue scabbard behind him. , This weight, at first glance, is not a weapon that ordinary people can use.

………………

And Wayne, who was surrounded by a group of hobbits, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

This group of lovely halflings is indeed as shown in the movie. They are kind-hearted and hospitable. When facing guests from afar, they will always bring out their best food to entertain them.

Today, with the mentality of giving it a try, he found the consul in the village, hoping to hire a group of workers to help him build a house.

Unexpectedly, the consul old Ford would be so enthusiastic. Not only did he accompany him to complete the work of recruiting workers, but he also enthusiastically advised him. Even when he proposed to hold an open-air banquet to entertain new neighbors, the old Ford was very enthusiastic Enthusiastically helped him and arranged related matters.

It can only be said that the Middle-earth world described by Mr. Tolkien is really a fantasy world with a clear distinction between good and evil.

In this world, the power of darkness and light is clearly defined, and the races on the light side are all kind, brave, and noble, representing all kinds of positive emotions.

And the race on the dark side is a born bad embryo, evil, depraved, filthy, and hopeless.

In this world, there are not many conspiracies and tricks, and there are not many falsehoods. As long as you are on the side of justice, you will be loved, respected and admired by many people, you can make close friends, and you can find unforgettable love. love.

But if you stand on the side of evil, you will be disgusted by all righteous races, corrupted by the power of darkness, and become an out-and-out monster.

All in all, it is far better than the bloody and barbaric social environment in the world of demon hunters.

A group of halflings surrounded him, and after leaving the village, he could still see a group of hobbit children reluctantly standing at the entrance of the village, watching them go further and further away.

Apparently they were too young to be allowed to leave the village.

Wayne, who was looking at the beautiful environment of Shire Village, suddenly noticed that among the group of halflings following him, there was a very familiar figure. After a few glances, he immediately guessed who this person was.

Bilbo Baggins is the hero in the Lord of the Rings series of movies he once liked very much. He is a good man with justice in his heart, and even the Supreme Lord of the Rings cannot corrupt his heart.

Although it is slightly different from the appearance in the movie, it is still recognizable overall.

However, after seeing him, Wayne didn't feel any surprise, this was what he expected.

According to the information he received last time, Bilbo Baggins should be 41 years old this year, and there are still nine years before his 50th birthday and trip to the Lonely Mountain.

And nine years is quite a long time. Even if it is converted to the world of the witcher, it will take close to two years, so it is still early, and he still has a lot of time to plan, a lot of time to get to know the heroes in this world, There is no rush to get in touch with this future protagonist now.

Time passed quickly. Under the command of Old Ford, the enthusiastic Hobbit villagers quickly built a banquet venue for Wayne. Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans were all provided by these villagers for free. Saved Wayne quite a bit of trouble.

However, Grandpa Wayne is not short of money. He bought all the good wine, good food, snacks and fruits in the market. He was not stingy about entertaining these future neighbors, and took all these things Come out and let the villagers enjoy it as they please.

Moreover, in order to respond to the enthusiastic help of these hobbit villagers, he also prepared a few special dishes by himself, such as creamy mushroom soup, roasted whole lamb, roasted whole pig, roasted whole fish, etc., making full use of his superb With his cooking skills, he has cooked many gourmet recipes from different worlds.

As the hobbits who pay the most attention to food and life in the entire Middle-earth world, these dwarves were immediately conquered by Wayne's superb cooking skills.

Coupled with his handsome appearance, gentle personality, and generous means of dealing with affairs, the hobbit villagers in Shire Village quickly accepted this mysterious Mr. Wayne from other places as their new neighbor .

In the next few months, the kind-hearted workers in Shire Village received high wages and benefits, and under the command of various foremen and consul Old Ford, they all turned into hardworking architects. With the help of his father, he began to build this huge building named Wayne Manor.

During this period, Wayne lived a few hundred meters away, in a simple wooden house built by a small river.

The most work every day is to train the little direwolf White Fang and the hatched Deathclaw cubs. While improving his animal taming level, he establishes a true master-slave relationship with these two little guys.

However, the money spent on building a manor is undoubtedly very huge. Although Vivienne helped him exchange the coins of Middle-earth World, which saved him a lot of trouble and expense, it is not Wayne's character to sit on the mountain and eat nothing.

After he stayed in Middle-earth for two or three months, he gained a certain understanding of the local environment and customs through the books he bought from the hobbits.

As a demon hunter and a quest master, he decided to visit those gathering places with large populations.

In this world full of all kinds of magical creatures, there are often some rewards, waiting for the warriors to pick them up.
