legend begins with lord of the rings

Orcs can be said to be the first difficulty the team encountered. Although no one saw the orcs, they heard the sounds of the orcs being very close to them.

The next day, early morning.

When Abel climbed out of his sleeping bag, he saw Bilbo staring with a pair of big panda eyes.

"What's the matter, Bilbo?" Abel slept well last night. It was warm and comfortable inside the sleeping bag.

Bilbo was still staring in confusion. He shook his head to show that it was okay.

In fact, Abel saw Bilbo's embarrassment during this period, and he was happy to help as long as the other party asked, whether it was materially or spiritually.

But the hobbit didn't know what was going on during this time, as if he was trying to keep his poor self-esteem and deliberately alienated Abel.

Since the other party didn't speak, Abel certainly wouldn't do it.

…

The team walked for several days.

At noon that day, it suddenly started to rain from the sky.

Abel took out two umbrella hats and handed one to Heili. This kind of waterproof disposable transparent hat is very practical.

"Oh! Groin, have you brought soap?" Bofur, who was wearing a hat, asked.

Dwarves have thick hair, so there is water for them to take care of in the wild. So it is common to take a bath and wash their hair on rainy days.

"Then..." Groin found some brown soap and handed it over.

…

After a while, the dwarves behind them were each holding bubbles on their heads and faces. They were having a great time throwing bubbles at each other.

Bilbo, who was watching the fun, was "accidentally" injured by Fili, and a huge foam ball covered his face.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Mr. Bilbo." Fili apologized with a smile. It was obvious that he did it on purpose.

Bilbo wiped the foam off his face and spat out the soap in his mouth.

He mounted his horse and ran to the wizard and asked: "Gandalf, do you have magic that can prevent it from raining?"

"I can't do this. The magic of changing the weather is a very powerful magic. Maybe someone can do it..." Gandalf looked at Bilbo and said with a smile.

Bilbo was soaked in the rain, his hair fell on his head. His red dress was half soaked.

This is actually what the wizard wants to see. Bilbo needs to grow, need the watering of rain, and the burning of the sun.

Here Bilbo heard the wizard say that it couldn't be done. He turned to look at the umbrella hat on Abel's head: "Mr. Abel, do you still have a hat that you can lend me?"

Abel smiled and took out another umbrella hat from the leather bag behind him: "Take it and use it. It's a one-time thing. I gave it to you. You don't have to return it."

The wizard originally wanted to chat with Bilbo, but when he saw Bilbo holding an umbrella on his head, the wizard took out his pipe depressedly, lit it several times before lighting it, and then hung it back on his waist.

…

Sunrise and sunset.

In the evening of that day, the team stayed in a lush jungle. Thorin found a slope sheltered from the wind for the team and chose to set up camp here.

The adventure team set out from the Shire at the end of July and has been traveling for almost two months now. It is almost October.

Before the sun went down, everyone got busy. The dwarves went to collect firewood, and Bilbo and Blackli set up the cooking pots.

…

"Abel has no salt." Bilbo, who was cooking, shouted to Abel who was lying on the blanket.

Among the team, Bilbo was the best cook. So, all the rice in the big pot was given to him.

Bilbo himself also enjoyed cooking, at least he didn't have to eat dry food...

Abel took the leather bag, took out a bag of salt, and threw it towards the hobbit.

Now everyone in the team knows that Abel's leather bag is magical. But no one knows how many things are inside.

"Oh~" Bilbo carefully caught the salt that almost fell to the ground and muttered: "It's such a precious thing, Abel, can't you be careful? What if it falls to the ground?"

The bag of salt in Bilbo's hand is much better than the yellowish and bitter coarse salt out there. This kind of refined salt, which is as white as snow and very delicate to the touch, seems to Bilbo to be better than the coarse salt.

Gold is more valuable.

Hearing Bilbo's nagging, Abel turned over and showed his back to the hobbit.

After nearly two months, Abel has accumulated 450,000 reputations in the system, and he is no longer the same person he used to be.

Refined salt may seem valuable to other people, but to Abel, it is only worth twenty-five dollars.

Now Abel is still receiving more than 6,000 from the public every day. He estimates that the town of Godot provides more than 1,000 per day and the Shire is about 5,000.

"Abel, can you give me two more batteries?" At this time, Kili squeezed over and asked in a flattering manner.

"Oops, my legs are a little sore today." Abel smiled and said in an extremely exaggerated tone.

"Understood~"

Qili knelt down on the ground and gently tapped Abel's leg with a very skillful movement: "How is it? Is the intensity still appropriate?"

…

After knocking for more than ten minutes, Abel took out four batteries from his pocket: "It's very comfortable. This is the reward."

After getting the batteries, Qili thanked him. He happily walked back to the dwarves and quietly handed two of the batteries to Thorin.

Recently, the dwarves have discovered that Abel is actually very talkative. As long as they make reasonable requests and use some labor, they can get many magical things from Abel.

This discovery was something Fili learned from Bilbo.

For a while, Bilbo let go of his nature and stopped going out with Abel. His thickness of face and optimism have improved significantly.

Of course, those things here in Abel are not given for free. If you want to exchange for batteries, tapes, blankets, etc., you need to use "labor" to exchange them.

The scope of labor is very wide, sometimes it is small tasks such as helping Abel lead his horse or helping Abel lay the floor.

This kind of equal exchange made Abel unknowingly the most popular person in the team.

"Everyone, get ready, it's time to eat."

Bilbo made dinner and called to everyone.

The food was placed on a long tablecloth. At this time, Gandalf also ended his conversation with Thorin and came to sit next to Abel.

It can be seen that when everyone dines together, they are actually divided into two groups. One group is the dwarf, and the other is the other four groups except the dwarf.

As usual, Abel took out fruits, desserts, and fruit wine from his purse and placed them in front of him.

That's why Gandalf sat here.

After a while, Kili came over. Abel looked at him and handed him a ten-pound bucket of loose wine. High-end liquor is quite expensive in the system, but the loose wine can satisfy the dwarves, and they like it.

Plant a stronger wine.

As long as you don't waste food or drink, Abel will never be stingy.

It was also during this time that the dwarves discovered another pattern of Abel's.

Because of the supply of wine, the dwarves even held a small meeting. The meeting decided to wait until they reached Gushan and asked Abel to pack another bag of gold coins.

Therefore, every time I eat during this period, I can see a shy dwarf coming over to ask Abel for white wine or dried meat.

With the food provided by Abel, everyone's life was much easier. Especially the fat Pangbo, who just couldn't recognize his eldest brother.

The dinner was very rich, and soon the dwarves started playing cheerful music, and a group of dwarves started drinking wine.

"You shouldn't have given them so much white wine." Gandalf was almost done eating, and he picked up a piece of cake to taste. Seeing that some of the dwarves seemed drunk, he whispered to Abel.

Regarding Gandalf's worries, Abel smiled and didn't care much. He said: "It doesn't matter, the dwarves know what they are thinking."

When the wizard saw that Abel could not speak, he took out his long pipe and lit a pot of tobacco for himself, and said no more.

Whoever calls the wizard is a cannibal and short-tongued now. It would be inappropriate to say more.

As the leader of the dwarves, Thorin is generally quite competent.

Thorin will personally supervise those who are assigned to watch the night during this period to prevent them from drinking. So even though the dwarves may think they are drunk, in fact no one is really confused.
