Hearing Li Zhuoguang's words, Gandalf frowned deeply: "Oh! Can't we discuss it? What are you looking for? I will find a way to help you find it. If it doesn't work, I can ask my friends for help." Li Zhuoguang shook his head: "It's not that I don't trust your character, but there is a difference between looking for yourself and looking for someone else. Even if you have friends all over the world and they promise to help, they are just helping. I want them to act for their own interests, so that they can do whatever they can. " Gandalf tried to persuade again: "You can also choose to help Thorin. If he becomes the king of the Lonely Mountain, he can also mobilize the dwarves to help you find things." Li Zhuoguang stared at Gandalf dumbfounded: "I remember you know Thranduil from Mirkwood? Good guy, that old man ordered a necklace for his wife. His wife has been married for many years, and the necklace has arrived. It is still kept in Gushan today. All of them, the forest dwarves, all have dragon disease and are insane. The promises they made are as worthless as the orcs' crotch cloth. " Hearing Li Zhuoguang mention the long-standing allusion between elves and dwarves, Gandalf showed a hint of embarrassment on his face: "Thorin is different from his grandfather." Li Zhuoguang still shook his head: "Perhaps the Durin dwarves are still reliable in normal times, but when they see enough wealth... Forrest Gump, I'm not telling you, sometimes you can't think too well of people. Appropriate Doubt it and you can prevent a lot of bad things from happening.” If Gandalf didn't believe in Bilbo so much, there would be no Fellowship of the Ring sixty years later. The Battle of the Five Armies had just finished, so we took advantage of this momentum. Gandalf, Thranduil, Galadriel, King Elrond, Ironfoot, five fierce men led the troops to escort a Baggins on the road. Isn't this much more reliable than the Fellowship of the Ring?
Gandalf smiled, but still said: "Although dwarves are sometimes covered in mud like minerals in the ground, if you polish them a little, you will see their hearts of gold." Li Zhuoguang shrugged: "Maybe. By the way, if Solin and I fight, you won't help them, right?" "I will try to stop you from starting a war." "Okay, I understand. When the time comes, I'll try not to kill anyone. At most, I'll just humiliate him in public." With that said, he greeted everyone and walked towards the Ciel one step ahead of Gandalf. As soon as he entered the Shire, he saw a hobbit smoking a pipe leisurely outside a cave on the left side of the road. "Good afternoon, Bilbo." Li Zhuoguang waved to the hobbit. "Hello sir, have we met before?" Bilbo Baggins looked at Li Zhuoguang and his group with some confusion. In his impression, he had no human friends. Oh my gosh, there's an elf among them. "No, this is the first time we have met, but I know other hobbits from the Took family, so I know you." "Which Took?" "Uh...Hildefons." "Oh, that's my distant uncle, and my mother is his sister." Li Zhuoguang dug in his pocket, took out a gold bar, and threw it to Bilbo: "Go on." "Hey!" Bilbo saw something being thrown towards him and quickly grabbed his pipe and caught it in a hurry. Hold things in front of you and look at them: "Is this gold?" "Yes, maybe later today, a group of dwarves will come to your house for dinner, and this will be considered as food. Their hard work is in vain, so I will treat them to this meal." With that, Li Zhuoguang turned to Xia Go deep into you. "Wait a minute, I don't run a restaurant!" Bilbo shouted behind Li Zhuoguang. "What did you say? I can't hear you." "I said I don't own a restaurant!"
"Oh, you run a restaurant? That's just right. I wish you a prosperous business!" "I said I'm not... forget it." Looking at Li Zhuoguang's retreating back, Bilbo gave up. He sat back on the bench in front of the door and looked at the gold bars in his hands. Later, dwarves? Shire, in the west of Middle-earth, far away from Mordor, is a major settlement of the Hobbits, and its business is quite prosperous. Not to mention the rich products, even the map of Middle-earth can be purchased here. Li Zhuoguang originally wanted to buy a few horses for transportation, but unfortunately they only sold ponies for hobbits to ride. Although this kind of horse is docile and hardy, it is smaller than the pony ridden by dwarves, and is similar in size to a large dog. On the Shire side, Li Zhuoguang bought some bread, cold chicken, ham, cheese and fruit wine made by the hobbits themselves, and found a grassy spot to sit on the ground. While eating, he explained his ideas to everyone. Li Zhuoguang used ham slices, wrapped fruits and cheese and stuffed them into his mouth, unfolded the map of Middle-earth, and said to everyone: "Look, this is where we are, Shire. Let's go east along the East-West Avenue. Walk through the Stormy Hills and Troll Forest to reach Rivendell. There is an elven settlement there, and the elves there are relatively friendly. We can ask them about the method of passing through the Misty Mountains, and if possible, we can also make a deal. Beyond the Misty Mountains is the Dark Forest, where another group of elves live. Of course, there are also a lot of disgusting giant spiders. The Elf King in Mirkwood is Thranduil. Their clan has many soldiers. We can go meet him and discuss some cooperation. " Then Li Zhuoguang poked his finger heavily on a spot on the map: "Here next to Mirkwood is our destination, Lonely Mountain. That was the former capital of the Durin Dwarves. The hall at the bottom of the castle is filled with countless gold and silver treasures. Its value can be compared with McDuck's collection." Aliana's mouth was full of fruit, and she asked vaguely: "Who is McDuck?" "It doesn't matter. What matters is that we need to get these treasures." Xiong Facai frowned: "Since there are so many treasures here, why didn't anyone take them before?" "You asked the point, because there is a giant dragon living in the castle of Lonely Mountain. If you want to get the treasure, you must first kill the dragon." Everyone was shocked: "Giant dragon?!" Wei Changfeng was a little embarrassed: "If you want to kill the dragon, will the Dragon God agree?" Li Zhuoguang explained: "It's called a dragon, but it's actually a big lizard with wings." Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Aliana swallowed the fruit in her mouth and asked, "I've read the literature about dragons. Don't all dragons look like that? And dragons are not easy to deal with." Li Zhuoguang asked, "What do your dragons look like?" "The appearance is similar to what you said, but their magic attainments are not low, plus they have strong bodies. Even when our elves were at their strongest, we needed to send out an army to defeat an adult dragon." Li Zhuoguang waved his hand: "That dragon doesn't know magic, it can only spit fire." "That's a sub-dragon. This kind of beast with low intelligence and can't even speak is quite easy to deal with." "Well, it can talk, but it's just strength. A little short of it. "
"I understand, a useless dragon with no heritage." "...That's right." Li Zhuoguang took a sip of fruit wine and concluded: "In short, our initial goal is to kill the dragon and get the treasure inside. The gold inside can be used to drive humans, the Arken gem can be used to trade with dwarves, and there is a white gem necklace that can be traded with Thranduil. Let these three parties send people to find what we want. After all, Middle-earth is so big, and we don't know how long it will take to find the quest items with just a few of us." After speaking, Li Zhuoguang looked at Wang Shuyun: "This is our arrangement, what are your plans?"
