legend begins with lord of the rings

For the current Abel, whether Thorin Oakenshield is miserable or not has little to do with him for the time being.

In order to join this legendary adventure and increase his popularity, Abel ignored the wizard's sharp eyes and took the initiative to say: "Can you join me on the way to Lonely Mountain? You know that as an adventurer

Home, who can refuse such a journey."

In fact, Abel made a bet that Gandalf would not choose to kill and silence him. If he could not silence him and had to solve trouble, then the wizard would most likely take Abel with him.

Yes, Abel is now a big trouble in Gandalf's heart. Because Abel has revealed a lot of important information, and his identity is also a mystery.

Adventurer, this is the identity Abel weaves for himself. If circumstances permit, he can be a great entertainer, a bard, or even a ranger.

As for Gandalf, as a Maia, his mission is to maintain peace in Middle-Earth, and he needs to nip all unstable factors in the cradle.

"Well, no matter who you are and what your purpose is, you have succeeded. I will add you to this journey." Gandalf seemed to have figured it out, and poured himself a glass of sake and drank it in one gulp.

Sure enough, the bet was right.

Abel showed a bright smile.

In his impression, Gandalf was a well-known Maia. Although he had his own considerations, he was always a member of the good and orderly camp. He could be said to be the main force in Middle-earth's fight against evil forces.

military.

You must know that the five wizards who were sent to protect Middle-earth: The white-robed wizard (Saruman) finally rebelled because of jealousy of Gandalf and got involved with the devil Sauron.

The brown-robed wizard (Ladegast) is an otaku who rarely cares about things. He only cares about animals and the environment. The most useful thing he did after that was probably contacting the giant eagle on the Misty Mountains and saving two people from Gandalf and his group.

Second-rate.

As for the two blue-robed wizards (Romisthanu and Moreda), let’s not mention them. They went to the sea with Saruman to the east in the second era, and then they never came back and disappeared into the vast sea.

Only the gray robe wizard (Gandalf) worried about completing the mission from beginning to end. From this point of view, Gandalf was actually quite miserable.

"I'm glad to join your team." Abel said with a smile, this time it was a sincere smile.

"So when are we going to set off? I'm ready to start an exciting adventure.

By the way, do you have a map of Middle-earth? You know I got here because I got lost. And as an adventurer, an accurate map is crucial."

Looking at the smiling young man, Gandalf already regretted ever stepping into this room. He always felt that Mr. "Adventurer" didn't look so reliable.

However, now that the decision had been made, Gandalf did not refuse. He took out a parchment scroll from his robe and spread it on the table: "This is the terrain of Middle-earth, and we are here now."

Looking at the location of Gordo Town pointed by the old wizard's finger, there is Gray Harbor to the west, the Misty Forest above, the Blue Mountain below, and the Shire to the east, and it is quite close to the Shire, judging from the markings on the map.

Just four or five hundred kilometers.

If the road conditions are good, the drive only takes half a day.

Seeing Abel's thinking look, Gandalf continued: "The dwarves have set off from the Blue Mountains, and we have to get to the Shire before them, where there is a companion waiting for us.

Well... we can leave in three days in time."

On the map, the Blue Mountains are more than a thousand kilometers away from the Shire, and most of them are mountain roads. It would take at least six or seven days to travel on horseback without stopping.

As for riding a horse from Godot to the Charles, it would take two days without resting on the way. If you don’t want to be so tired, three days is just right.

In other words, Abel and Gandalf will definitely be able to reach the Shire in six days. It seems that the dwarves still need to refuel on their journey.

"Three days? That's enough time."

Abel murmured and had another drink with Gandalf. At this time, both of them were almost eating and drinking, and the party between them ended.

After the wizard left, Abel closed his eyes and recalled the "confrontation" with the wizard. He didn't seem to have revealed anything. The time was too short, and Abel was not sure how much the wizard believed what he just said.

Moreover, it was obvious that the wizard was very wary of him. Gandalf kept silent about many of the contents of this operation. Fortunately, as a "prophet", Abel did not really need the wizard's action plan.

"Oh, it's difficult..." Abel rubbed his face and opened his eyes.

Next, Abel went to explain to Haig that he was leaving. He also explained that he would write out the plan for the future development of the hotel tomorrow.

Not only does the hotel need a planning document, but also the development of the caravan, the operation behind the stage... and the water tanker promised to the mayor.

Returning to the second floor again, Hei Li had already cleaned up the room: "Sir, are you leaving? Can you take me with you?"

The big guy pinched his fingers and looked nervous.

"No, this journey is too dangerous and not suitable for taking people." Abel refused directly. This journey is really dangerous. Even people in the protagonist's team will die. If ordinary people join, it can be said that they will have a narrow escape.

"You can go, why can't I?" Hei Li frowned, looking angry.

Abel had just told Haig about going on an adventure, but Hei Li accidentally heard him.

"Be obedient, I really can't take you with me this time. I'll take you out again when I have the chance." Abel unknowingly used the tone of an elder. He was originally going to touch the other person's head, but after seeing it

Looking at the big guy about two meters tall, I just patted him on the shoulder.

Abel, who is about 1.9 meters tall, is not short, but compared with Heili, who is 2 meters tall, and Gandalf, who is 2.1 meters tall, he is considered "delicate".

"By the way, don't go out and talk nonsense about my departure." Abel warned the other party, and then said: "You will go to the leather shop later and ask them to sew a bag for me out of cooked cowhide, the size of which I marked.

Just the size is fine.”

As he spoke, Abel secretly took out a pen and paper and drew a simple shoulder bag with just a few strokes.

This is a cover for you to be able to pull things out of thin air in the future.

Hei Li took the drawings and left the second floor gloomily. Even the "dong dong" sound that he used to make when passing by the corridor was gone.

After the people left, Abel made a casual move and had a simulation model of a waterwheel in his hand. He originally planned to explore it slowly by himself, but unfortunately it was too late. Abel directly used three thousand famous names to buy the waterwheel.

Model.

Then, Abel purchased five more improved drawings of simple farm tools. In exchange for the drawings of farm tools, he spent more than 4,000 yuan.

This system is very smart when collecting popularity, and the prices of things related to technology in the system are very high.

For example, a casual success study book only needs more than a hundred popularity. But a thin tool drawing requires thousands of popularity.

A few speakers (amplifiers) need to be reserved for the store, and a few video recorders are also needed... The popularity of more than 6,000 people is gone again.

Today, he has received more than 1,000 popularity points. Abel originally had 16,000 popularity points, but he just used up 13,000, leaving about 3,000 left.

Abel is about to leave, and now we need to give more care (fertilization) to the people (leeks) of Gordo Town to ensure that we can continue to harvest popularity here in the future.

Not being stingy, Abel spent all his remaining publicity on batteries and blank tapes.

Looking at the table full of items, the act of shopping is really a relief. But when I glanced at the zero visibility, I felt heartbroken.
