"I am Gandalf..."
Looking at the familiar old man in front of him, Morgan was stunned as soon as he opened his mouth.
He likes to watch fantasy movies and TV series. During his break, he has watched the movies "The Hobbit Trilogy" and "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy".
Although not to the level of avid movie fans, I still have a certain impression of these two classic fantasy masterpieces.
Morgan was even more impressed by the "Wizard Gandalf", the soul figure who runs through the entire Middle-earth world in both works.
Such an image, such a dress.
Morgan had no doubt that he had met the real Gandalf.
After all, he can travel to this world, and he also has an even more fantastic time traveler system.
There was nothing he couldn't believe.
At this moment, Morgan thought of many things.
What he is most interested in right now is: "What period of time are I in Middle-earth now?"
It only took a moment for Morgan to react quickly.
Looking at Gandalf, he said casually: "We are friends if we meet him."
"Seeing as you are still on the road so late, you must not have had dinner yet."
"Cut it yourself wherever you want, you're welcome..."
As he spoke, Morgan threw his previous meat-cutting dagger to Gandalf, pointed to the giant bear corpse beside him and said, "By the way, you can call me Morgan."
After taking the dagger, he took a closer look at Morgan. Seeing that Morgan looked magnanimous, Gandalf smiled and said, "Then I'm welcome..."
After saying that, he put away the cigarette rod, picked up the dagger in his hand and stepped forward to cut the meat.
Friendships between men are sometimes very simple.
As the true first male protagonist in the six-part series of Middle-earth, Gandalf has a righteous and firm character, a humorous conversation, and a wide range of friends. This can be seen from the fact that his friends are all over the leaders of the major forces in Middle-earth.
As for Morgan, he has a thoughtful mind, an open and generous personality, and he also intends to make friends with Gandalf.
The two of them sat in front of the fire, eating roast bear meat. After a while, they became familiar with each other.
"Morgan, you look like a ranger?"
Gandalf cut off a large piece of bloody, hairy meat from the forelimbs and arms of the giant bear corpse, inserted it into a sharpened branch, and continued to place it on the fire, while roasting it he spoke casually.
"Ranger..."
Morgan was stunned when he heard Gandalf speak.
In fact, he has already figured out his identity for himself, that is, "bounty hunter".
Bounty Hunter: A master who obtains expensive bounties by completing difficult tasks commissioned by his employer.
Bounty hunters are somewhat similar to the "rangers" Gandalf calls them, with the former being rarer and more powerful than the latter.
But the latter is much more famous than the former.
When ordinary residents of Middle-earth mention rangers, they can more or less name one or two.
But when it comes to "bounty hunters", very few people know about it.
"Ranger, so be it..."
"I actually prefer the other term 'bounty hunter'!"
Morgan shook his head and smiled.
"Bounty Hunter?"
Hearing Morgan's words, Gandalf was slightly stunned. Bounty hunters were too rare.
However, looking at the huge giant bear that was nearly three meters tall and whose blood temperature showed that it had just died, Gandalf did not doubt Morgan's strength at all.
A ferocious giant bear with such a stature is far beyond what ordinary people can deal with.
This just proves Morgan's strength.
"That's really unusual..."
Gandalf looked up at Morgan and smiled.
"It's really not common. I haven't seen a single one of my peers so far..."
No, he took the title of bounty hunter from other fantasy movies and TV series and decided to use this identity to walk around the world in the future.
As for whether there were bounty hunters in Middle-earth, he had no doubts.
Because rangers in this world are equivalent to low-end versions of "bounty hunters".
Morgan shook his head and smiled, looked up at Gandalf carefully and asked, "What about you, Gandalf?"
"You look more like the legendary... traveling wizard?"
When Morgan asked, Gandalf smiled and simply said: "As you can see, I am a wizard."
"Formal introduction, wizard Gandalf..."
"Bounty Hunter Morgan..."
"Ha ha..."
The two of them talked happily, and the topics they talked about gradually increased.
"Morgan, are you here in the Shire because of your mission?"
Gandalf asked as he continued to chew on the roasted bear meat.
Giant bear meat is sold very expensive in many places because of its soft and tender texture and excellent taste.
However, because giant bears are huge and ferocious, they are rarely sold on the market.
Even if you occasionally catch one, it will soon be bought by a wealthy local noble, making it difficult for ordinary people to buy it.
Even if giant bear meat appears, ordinary people cannot afford it.
Now I met Morgan, a powerful bounty hunter, and such a big and ferocious bear.
Gandalf did intend to eat as much as he could.
"Is this Shire?"
Now that he knew he was in Middle-earth, Morgan reacted immediately when he heard Gandalf talk about it.
"If I said that I came to the Shire because I got lost, would you believe it, Gandalf?"
Morgan shook his head and said with a somewhat dumbfounded smile.
"Well, judging by your appearance...of course I believe it!"
Gandalf looked up at Morgan, finished the last bite of roast bear meat in his hand, wiped his mouth full of grease, and smiled.
As he spoke, he took out the cigarette rod, filled it with shredded tobacco, and motioned to Morgan if he wanted to take a sip.
Morgan waved his hand and smiled.
He knew he looked a little downcast.
He had sold all the trophies he had recovered from the corpses of the two guards in Ferro Town, as well as the damaged and inferior armor on them, just to be able to buy a horse.
Now he was wearing a short leather armor on the lower body, and an ordinary open-chested linen long-sleeved upper body, and the cuffs were torn off because he was too hot.
Now it is equivalent to a pair of short-sleeved sleeves with asymmetrical cuffs.
As for the ordinary cross sword and short sword, they were possessed by the original owner from the beginning.
Such a desolate appearance is a bit different from the identity of a bounty hunter.
"It's been a long time since I took over a mission, I made you laugh..."
Morgan spoke with a smile, but his face showed no trace of embarrassment at all.
"Gandalf, you are a wizard. If you have any good commissions, be sure to introduce them to me..."
Morgan continued, his expression open and casual.
Gandalf lit the cigarette, took a puff, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, I do have one thing here...it's just..."
"Is it finally here?"
Morgan was secretly happy. He had been friends with Gandalf for so long, and he had been waiting for this moment to receive the mission from him and successfully participate in the plot.
So he decisively activated his innate special skill "Intimacy".
[Intimacy: It can greatly increase the target's favorability towards you in a short period of time. 】
"Morgan, please treat me to roast bear meat, and I will introduce you to a commissioned task. This is a fair deal."
"Besides, that mission also requires the participation of a bounty hunter of your caliber..."
"In this case, if you come with me tomorrow, I guarantee that you will receive a very good commission..."
Gandalf, who was initially hesitant, suddenly changed his words and spoke with a smile.
