legend begins with lord of the rings

Chapter 16: The Rude Dwarf (1)

"Thank you everyone, today's performance ends here.

I am Abel the adventurer.”

After singing "Once Upon a Time", Abel introduced himself again, and took the smiling face flag in his hand and waved it vigorously a few times.

Amid the cheers of the crowd, he put the loudspeaker and other items back into his bag one by one and walked off the stage. Behind him was Heili holding the smiley face flag.

"Gandalf, you are here too.

I just saw the dwarf go by."

The wizard, who is over two meters tall, stands out among a group of hobbits who are just over one meter tall.

"It doesn't matter, they will wait for us at Bilbo's house. By the way, Bilbo is our new teammate. I have communicated with him before." Gandalf looked like he had everything under control and looked very reliable.

"Your name is Abel, right?

My friend, do you still have that thing called a tape recorder?"

A rosy-faced hobbit next to him spoke to Abel familiarly.

He is Galen, the commander of the Shire. Today he has heard about Abel from Gandalf. He has also seen a magical tape recorder from a wizard. He can not only listen to songs but also listen to stories. He likes it very much.

Abel also noticed the hobbit next to Gandalf, a very kind old man.

"This is my friend Galen Took, who is also the captain of the Shire. He likes your tape recorder very much." Gandalf briefly introduced the hobbit to Abel.

When Abel heard that he was the chief of the Shire village, he became "enthusiastic".

"Mr. Galen, thank you for your like. I happen to have a few extra tape recorders here. If you want..." Abel deliberately drawled his voice slowly.

"Of course, of course I want it... I can use my gold coins to buy it." Galen smiled happily, as if he had already obtained the tape recorder that he had longed for.

"No need for gold coins, we are friends. How about this, I will give you a tape recorder, and you can give me some souvenirs." Abel smiled brightly.

Of course Abel would not accept payment. He planned to let the tape recorder be passed down in the Shire on his behalf.

Several people came to Galen's home, an exquisite wooden house with exquisite carvings on the walls.

"Watch your head," Galen reminded Abel.

The door opening of a Hobbit house is only 1.6 meters high, which is just right for the Hobbits who are only 1.2 meters tall. But for "giants" like Abel, it looks small.

Everyone came to the table. Abel took out five tape recorders from his bag and arranged them in a row. He also took out a loudspeaker, followed by reels of tapes and a bunch of electromagnetic fields.

Looking at the pile of items made Chief Xiaertun's face become even more rosy.

When everything was ready, Abel took out a seal with a smiling face on it. After applying it with yellow printing paint, he stamped a smiling icon on all the electrical appliances.

"This represents my friendship with the Shire people. You can use them as gifts and share them with the most hard-working and upright hobbits in the Shire." Abel smiled and pushed the things to Galen.

Abel had already planned to give these gifts to the hobbits when he performed on the round platform. He originally planned to lend them to Bilbo, but now he has a better candidate.

As the captain of the village, Galen's influence in the Shire is undoubted, and his friends will certainly be no less influential.

So the value of these five recorders given away is very high.

When the wizard came here to "show off" in the afternoon, Galen had already learned how to use the tape recorder, which also saved everyone a little time.

Next, Galen led Abel to the storeroom of his home. There was a lot of food piled here, and Abel found a piece of cloth to wrap some.

When the matter was over, the three of them walked to Bilbo's house under Galen's farewell.

The three of them came to Bilbo's house in the afterglow of the sun and found a dozen horses in his yard. These horses made Bilbo's small yard a mess.

The wizard stepped forward and knocked on Bilbo's door with his wand. After a while, the hobbit opened the door.

Bilbo didn't know what he had done wrong today, and God wanted to torture him like this.

In the morning, a strange wizard came to him and told him that he wanted to participate in some adventure. And in the evening, a group of dwarves rudely broke into his house to eat and drink.

Bilbo, whose hair was as messy as a henhouse and with a haggard face, opened the door. He carefully looked outside the door and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was not a dwarf.

When he saw that it was the tall wizard, his face was still ugly: "Mr. Gandalf, I told you that I am not interested in your adventure."

"Bilbo, this time I'm here to meet my companions." The wizard said with a smile.

"There is no..." Bilbo was about to say that there is no companion here. The dwarf's happy voice came from behind: "Gandalf, come in quickly~ You are already late. If I hadn't seen the mark you left, I would have

I thought you wouldn’t come.”

"Mark? What mark??" Bilbo discovered the point.

"Of course it's a sign to entertain friends. I left it on your door this morning." As he said that, the wizard pointed to the dwarf writing on the door, a glowing sign.

Only then did Bilbo realize why the dwarves came to his house. It turned out that it was this tall wizard who was causing trouble. He glared at the wizard angrily and wanted to say a few curse words, but his good rest prevented him from speaking.

"Oh, don't block the door.

Wizard Gandalf, please come in." The dwarves pushed Bilbo aside and enthusiastically invited the wizard in.

"Welcome Gandalf, I have been waiting for you for a long time." Thorin welcomed the wizard with a smile.

"Oh, Thorin. You look good, much better than when you were in the tavern." The wizard also smiled.

Abel followed the wizard into the room. Bilbo's house was also messed up. The table that should have been in the dining room was dragged by the dwarves to the living room because there was more space here.

The carpet was covered in dirt and food residue.

There was only food for one person on the dining table. It seemed that Abel and the others had been spending time at Galen's house and the dwarves' banquet was over.

"Abel, Black Power, Bilbo, please allow me to introduce to you our leader this time." Gandalf looked at Thorin and introduced the three of them to Abel: "Thorin Oakenshield..."

Then, he introduced Thorin: "This is Bilbo Baggins. This is Abel. Next to him is his friend Heili."

Thorin looked at the three of them and frowned slightly, then said, "Tell me, gentlemen, do you often fight?

What weapons do you like to use when fighting?

Is it an ax or a sword..."

Bilbo was the closest to Thorin. He was confused by the question and stammered: "What 'battle'... I have only seen it in the theater... I do have some skills in Conker."

But...I don't think there is any...relationship between these..."

"I think so too,

Look at your place, it looks like a merchant's warehouse! You are not a warrior at all!" Thorin glanced at Bilbo and lost interest in him.

The weapons made by the dwarves are not popular among the hobbits who love peace. In the eyes of the dwarves, this is a sign that the hobbits are afraid of fighting and a sign of cowardice. In their eyes, the hobbits are just a group of people who can farm.

Just farmers.

"So, where are you two? Who will be the person I am looking for?" Thorin looked at Abel and the two.

Before Abel could speak, Gandalf hurriedly explained: "This is Mr. Abel, he is an adventurer. Next to him is his friend Heili, who is also our companion in this adventure."

Thorin raised his head and glanced at Abel and the two, his expression turned cold, and he said dissatisfiedly: "This big guy looks okay, but this one, I can't see any merit at all."

In the eyes of the dwarves, Heili, who was tall and muscular, looked good. As for Abel, he noticed it from the moment he walked in. He smelled a nasty "smell" on his body, which belonged to the elves.

odor.

The hatred between dwarves and elves can be said to be a historical issue accumulated from generation to generation, and their personalities are naturally conflicting.

As for Abel, who had a beautiful appearance and a unique temperament, Thorin didn't like him at first sight.

"I know that you are going to Gushan to regain your home, and you will definitely encounter many difficulties along the way. As an adventurer, I can help you." Abel, adhering to a good-natured attitude towards others, promoted himself. His trip

Taking risks just for fame does not conflict with the purpose of the dwarves.

"We don't need any help from you.

Look at your arm, which is thinner than a hemp rod. I'm really afraid that it will break at any time. Go home and feed yourself for two more years before you come back!" Thorin's eyes showed deep contempt.

The other dwarves laughed when they heard Thorin's words.

When Heili saw the dwarf offending Abel, he was about to step forward to "reason", but was pulled back by Abel.

Legend has it that dwarves have bad brains and bad tempers. Abel finally saw this this time. How could he attack someone personally when they could sit down at the table and discuss things?

"Ha~ Who do you think I am? Who do you think you are? Thorin Oakenshield.

You are just a poor man who has lost his home. Who gave you a sense of superiority?" Abel had long been unhappy with the king of dwarves.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a "bright" smile, and he was not used to the other person at all.

I originally planned to have a good exchange, but since the other party was unwilling. Well, Abel said that he had never been afraid of anyone.
