legend begins with lord of the rings

Chapter 168: Bilbo's Birthday (1)

After dealing with little Tom's affairs, Bilbo and Abel prepared to return to Bag End.

"Frodo, look who's here." On the way, Bilbo saw his nephew sunbathing on the hillside.

Frodo inherited all the characteristics of Bilbo. He was a pure hobbit who loved smoking, drinking, sunbathing, and playing with flowers and plants.

At the same time, he also possesses the kindness and optimism of a hobbit.

"Hello, Mr. Abel." Frodo ran to Abel happily and greeted him happily.

Frodo was filled with admiration for Abel, a legendary figure in Middle-earth.

"Hello, Frodo." Abel responded to Frodo with a smile.

"I have good news for you. You will be an adventurer like Abel in the future." Bilbo said to his nephew who was giggling beside him.

"Really? Didn't you let me join the adventurers before?" Frodo asked in surprise.

Before this, Frodo had proposed to Bilbo many times the idea of ​​joining the adventurers, but Bilbo rejected them all.

"You have grown up, and it is time to take over my identity as an adventurer." Bilbo said kindly.

"Take over..." Frodo then realized that Bilbo was about to quit the adventurer. He asked: "You gave me your identity as an adventurer, what will you do in the future?"

"Silly boy, it's time for me to retire when I get old." Bilbo said, "After this birthday, I decided to go out for a walk by myself. Maybe the beautiful Rivendell is a good place to go."

"Rivendell...I can say hello to King Elrond." Abel said. Rivendell is the home of the elves, and not everyone can enter it. Unless they can be like Abel and Gandalf.

, has a deep friendship with King Elrond.

"Okay Frodo, I'll take Abel back to Bag End first." Bilbo said, "Go to the village and watch. Gandalf will also come to the Shire in the next few days."

"Is it true that the wizard who can perform fireworks magic is also coming to the Shire?" Frodo asked happily.

"Yes, that's the wizard who can set off fireworks." Bilbo responded with a smile.

"Promise to complete the mission." After Frodo said goodbye to Abel, he went to the entrance of Shiretun.

Over the years, Gandalf has traveled around Middle-earth, but his reputation is not great. Frodo's only impression of him is that he comes to the Shire every Spring Festival to perform a beautiful fireworks show for the residents here during the Spring Festival.

Yes, in Frodo's mind, Gandalf is a magic wizard.

Of course, Frodo also liked magic wizards who could perform beautiful fireworks.

On Abel's side, he followed Bilbo to the cozy Bag End.

As soon as Bilbo returned to Bag End, he went into the study and soon took out his books.

Sixty years later, "Journey to the Lonely Mountain" written by Bilbo through his own first-person perspective is still unfinished.

Perhaps because Bilbo put so much effort into it, writing this book was particularly difficult.

"Please help me see if there is anything that needs to be revised here." Bilbo handed a thick notebook to Abel's hand.

"Okay, I'll help you look at it again. But when will you finish this book?" Abel asked, holding the notebook.

Abel had read "Journey to the Lonely Mountain" many times, and he had almost memorized the content. However, Bilbo wrote the subsequent stories slower and slower.

"It's almost finished. I've already written the War on the Lonely Mountain." Bilbo explained.

"Your writing techniques are very mature. I look forward to the day when you finish writing The Lonely Mountain." Abel encouraged Bilbo.

Abel didn't lie. Bilbo was very talented in writing. Ever since he went to Rivendell's library, his writing skills had improved rapidly.

In addition to "Journey to the Lonely Mountain", Bilbo has also written several excellent books that have been published in recent years.

"You watch first, I'll prepare dinner for you." Bilbo couldn't stop smiling when he heard Abel's compliment.

After Abel watched Bilbo enter the kitchen, he continued to study "Journey to the Lonely Mountain".

Alta glanced at Abel who was reading a book seriously, then walked to the side and stood up quietly.

That night, not until the moon was high in the sky, did Frodo come back for supper.

Gandalf, whom he wanted to pick up, didn't come today.

"It's okay Frodo, Abel said that when Gandalf comes back, he will definitely arrive before my birthday." After Bilbo comforted his slightly disappointed nephew, he continued: "After dinner, we will go to the warehouse to take stock.

Inventory. I decided to invite everyone in Charlotten for this birthday, and I want to have a lively birthday."

"I know, Uncle Bilbo." Frodo's emotions came and went quickly.

The next day, before dawn, Abel saw Frodo carrying a cart to the entrance of Shireton.

It seems that Frodo is still a little bit unwilling to not receive Gandalf yesterday.

Abel shook his head and continued to sleep. He didn't get up until three o'clock in the morning.

Under Alta's contemptuous gaze, Abel had a hearty breakfast. Then, he discussed "Journey to the Lonely Mountain" with Bilbo.

Frodo, who went out early in the morning, waited boredly at the entrance of the village for a long time, but still did not see Gandalf's shadow.

"Master Frodo, what are you doing here?" When Frodo was dizzy from the sun, Sam came over with a bag of fruit in his clothes.

Sam is Frodo's playmate, and he is also a servant of the Bilbo family. He earns some gold coins to support the family by doing odd jobs for the Bilbo family.

Sam, who has never left the Shire, has a very simple character.

"I'm waiting for Gandalf, the wizard who comes to the Shire every Spring Festival to perform fireworks." Frodo took the apple handed over by Sam, wiped it clean on his clothes and took a big bite before saying.

"Really, it's summer now, what is Gandalf doing here?" Sam said and put all the fruits in the clothes on Frodo's cart.

"My uncle Bilbo's birthday is coming soon. Gandalf will perform fireworks for my uncle on that day." Frodo said uncertainly.

"Really, then can we see beautiful fireworks again?" Sam showed a happy look on his face, and then he quickly said goodbye to Frodo: "I'm going to help my dad collect the fruit, wait for me

When I'm done, I'll go to Bag End to help Master Bilbo."

"Okay Sam, everyone in the Shire will be invited to Uncle Bilbo's birthday. You bring this news to your father..." Frodo shouted in the direction Sam left.

"knew……"

When Sam's voice came back, the man had already climbed over the hillside and disappeared into the wilderness.

On Frodo's side, after eating some fruits, he found some big leaves and came back. After using them to block the sun, he lay down comfortably in the car.

At ten minutes at noon, a tall figure wearing a pointed hat walked into Shertun on foot under the bright sun.
