Journey to Infinity from the Witcher

Chapter 4 When the protagonist in the story becomes himself

After a while of fuss.

The team headed by Thorin Oakenshield and Gandalf finally agreed to Gordon's joining.

"Bilbo, please make this place brighter."

At this time, Gandalf put away his cigarette rod, looked up at Bilbo and said with a smile, and then took out a light yellow paper roll from his arms.

The paper was opened, and mountains, forests, rivers and wastelands were clearly drawn on it. It was a map.

In the center of the map, a slightly larger mountain peak stands out.

When the map was placed on the dining table, a group of dwarves had already gathered around it.

One of the dwarves read the text marked next to the prominent mountain.

"In the far east, over mountains and rivers, through mountains and wastelands, there is a lonely mountain peak - Gushan."

"Yes, Ouyin read the omen, and the omen said that the time has come."

Another dwarf answered and continued: "There is a bird flying to the lonely mountain, just like in the prophecy."

"When the birds of old fly to Erub again, the reign of monsters will come to an end."

"Monster? What monster?"

"The evil dragon, the evil dragon that breathes fire, the largest and most brutal monster in the world..."

The dwarves were all talking and the scene was very noisy.

Gordon crossed his arms and leaned on the bench, watching the performance of the dwarves quietly.

"The dragon Smaug has not been seen for sixty years."

"Too many people and too many forces are looking at Gushan, coveting our wealth..."

"In short, we must take back Erub!"

Thorin Oakenshield slammed his hammer on the table, ending the quarrel.

Discussions are still going on.

Balin talked about the gate of the Lonely Mountain being sealed by a huge stone, and Gandalf then took out a key.

Gordon continued to watch with cold eyes.

The scene in front of him was different from the movie scenes in his memory, yet so similar.

It's just that Gordon was watching others interpret the story at that time.

But this time, the protagonist in the story became himself.

This feeling is absurd and wonderful.

He didn't know if he would really become one of the protagonists of the story.

Is it possible that viewers or people in other worlds are watching this fantasy story in which they themselves are personally involved?

This possibility must exist, and the probability is very high.

Because the entire universe is so fucking mysterious and magnificent.

Absurd and wonderful at the same time.

Gordon also felt a kind of excitement, very exciting.

Because I, who was familiar with the plot, felt as if I was watching the performances of Gandalf, Thorin Oakenshield, Bilbo, and the dwarves from a God's perspective.

"Gordon, Gordon..."

At this time, a calling voice came from my ears.

Gordon came back to his senses and saw Gandalf next to him, holding a wooden wine glass and shaking it in front of his eyes.

All the dwarves on the long table, including Bilbo Baggins who was already at the table, were holding their glasses and looking at him.

"Sorry, I just remembered something and got lost in thought."

Gordon came to his senses immediately, apologized, and immediately raised a wine glass filled with hops and smiled at everyone.

"It's nothing, I also get distracted occasionally."

Gandalf smiled and helped Gordon out by the way. He still had a very good impression of Gordon.

"No, this won't work. We are talking about such an important matter. You kid is actually distracted. You have to drink for free. You have to drink for free. Don't you think so?"

At this time, a handsome young dwarf suddenly said loudly.

The other dwarves immediately started cheering: "That's right, that's right..."

"Let's talk about important things again. Gordon, you kid, you dare to be distracted. You have to drink three times as a penalty, no, five drinks as a penalty..."

"We are all adventure partners now. How can we get distracted while we are talking about business? We have to drink for free..."

"Wait a minute, listen to me. Gordon, it's okay if you don't want to be fined with alcohol. Unless you tell us what happened when you were distracted, then we'll forget it and just forgive you. What do you think?

"

"This is a good suggestion, I agree..."

"I also agree..."

"Speak quickly, Gordon..."

The dwarves were chattering away, and the scene was very joyful and noisy.

Although everyone was talking about himself, Gordon was not angry.

He felt that these dwarves were indeed noisy and rude, and they didn't have many rules for joking with each other, but they unexpectedly made him feel good.

Because it's not awkward when we get along with each other, it's natural, and it feels good.

The dwarves and Gordon were making a fuss, while Thorin Oakenshield watched with a smile.

He has noble blood, respected status, and is also the leader of the team. Naturally, he will not joke easily with a group of people, and the dwarves also dare not joke with him easily.

Gandalf was also watching, holding a long cigarette stick in his mouth, smoking in his mouth, and smiling at everyone.

He has known this boy Gordon for a short time, but he believes that he is a strong and eloquent boy.

Gandalf believed in his own vision, just like the tobacco given by Gordon, which he liked. The dwarves' noisyness could not stop him.

"Listen to me, listen to me..."

Gordon suddenly shouted and stood up, but unexpectedly bumped into the beam at the top of the room. He grinned, and then he remembered that this room was a hobbit's house.

He could only sit down again and continued loudly: "As a companion, I was distracted when the team was discussing important matters. This was my mistake."

"I volunteered to drink three drinks as a penalty, and also told me what happened when I was distracted. How about this kind of punishment?"

Faced with Gordon's frank and self-conscious words, all the dwarves had no objections and all expressed their agreement.

Among them, a shorter dwarf suddenly raised his glass and loudly said: "I like your character, Gordon."

"So, I will drink these three glasses of wine with you!"

"Ouli, I see you want to drink wine, haha."

"No human being I have ever seen is as honest as you. Gordon, I will drink three glasses of wine with you..."

"Ouli, Doli, you two guys..."

"Forget it, Gordon, you made us feel pretty good. Let's drink three glasses of wine together..."

"Drink together..."

"cheers..."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank together.

It is said that these dwarves have a good drinking capacity. They drank three glasses of beer in succession and seemed to have no feeling at all.

After finishing three glasses of beer, a dwarf immediately said, "Gordon, we've finished drinking the beer. It's time to talk about your distraction."

"That's right, it's your turn to say Gordon..."

"Okay, I'll say it."

"Just now, I just thought of a girl..."

Gordon smiled and spoke, but as soon as he started speaking, he was interrupted again by the dwarves.

"Girl, what girl?"

"Gordon is a human being, of course she is a human girl."

"Could it be that we dwarf girls are the ones to blame, you idiot?"

"We dwarves don't have many girls, and I'm still single. How can I give them to humans..."

"Can you two stop arguing and listen to Gordon continue..."

Gordon looked amused and continued: "That's right, I met that girl in a tavern in the north..."
