"Is the effect so immediate?"
Morgan was shocked when he heard Gandalf's rapid change in attitude from hesitant to eager assurance.
In Gandalf's heart, he did think that the bounty hunter named Morgan in front of him was pretty good.
But that's all. After all, the time we have known each other is too short.
He will next go to Hobbiton in the Shire to find the last member of the expedition team, a halfling snitch Bilbo Baggins.
At the same time, he joined the dwarf team led by the Turin dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield.
After hearing that Morgan wanted to accept the commission, Gandalf really wanted to introduce Morgan to Thorin Oakenshield.
After all, the journey to Gushan is long, arduous and dangerous, so it would be good to have a good bounty hunter.
But because the destination of this journey is the Lonely Mountain, the former kingdom of the Turin dwarves.
To add members to the expedition team, Gandalf had to obtain the consent of the dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield.
Originally, Gandalf wanted to introduce Morgan to a group of dwarves first, and then see if he could find a way to convince Thorin Oakenshield to let Morgan join the expedition team.
This might be able to find a commission for the bounty hunter in front of me who has been out of work for a long time.
But, just now.
Gandalf suddenly felt that the Morgan in front of him was very good: the stranger treated him to roast bear meat for the first time when they met, his conversation was humorous, and he had a cheerful and generous personality.
At the same time, he also felt that Morgan was very pitiful: As a bounty hunter, he was very powerful, but he became depressed because he had not received commissioned tasks for a long time, and even lost his way. He felt that Morgan was very unlucky.
Under the influence of two strong emotions, Gandalf felt that he should help this boy Morgan.
In this way, he made a promise to Morgan that he would find a commissioned task for Morgan.
Although it is not stated clearly, this commission is actually to let Morgan join the expedition team.
As soon as the words of assurance to Morgan were spoken, Gandalf immediately felt something wrong in his heart.
Of course, regret is not enough.
But this kind of thing should be discussed with Thorin Oakenshield first.
After all, this is no small matter.
But the words had been spoken, and Gandalf couldn't bear to break his words.
At most, he could just help Morgan speak up when the time comes.
Besides, he did think it would be a good thing for the expedition team to have one more powerful bounty hunter.
He doesn't need to pay commission anyway.
"Oh, Gandalf, you're not kidding me?"
Morgan quickly came to his senses, looked up at the gray-robed wizard in front of him and said.
"Of course, I never joke about serious matters..."
Gandalf took a puff of his cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke, shrugged and smiled.
"Well, I have to... say you have a good eye, Gandalf!"
"I am definitely one of the best bounty hunters in the world... and your choice will not be wrong."
"It's a pity that I have run out of wine, otherwise I would treat you to a drink..."
Morgan happily talked and began to fumble around very naturally.
Morgan's acting is consistently good throughout, and he does run out of wine.
"It doesn't matter, it's not far from where we want to go."
"We should be there tomorrow night. It won't be too late for you to buy me a drink then."
After taking the last puff of the pack of cigarettes, he blew out the smoke, tapped the long cigarette rod and smiled.
"Of course, one cup is not enough..."
The initial wish to participate in the plot has been achieved, Morgan said with a hearty smile.
Although Gandalf has not mentioned specifically what the entrusted task is to him.
But based on Morgan's observations of Gandalf and his understanding of the plot.
He guessed that Gandalf's trip should be the plot at the beginning of the first part of "The Hobbit Trilogy": "Gandalf and the members of the dwarf expedition led by Thorin Oakenshield were in Bilbo Baggins's bag. Gather at the bottom of the cave.”
This is the beginning of the magnificent and epic plot of the entire Middle-earth world.
The night was getting darker, and after they had eaten and drank enough, the two of them did not talk any more, and each leaned against the tree trunk behind him and closed his eyes to rest.
There are no ferocious monsters nearby, but with the presence of the huge corpse of a ferocious giant bear, ordinary beasts dare not approach it.
What's more, with the strength of Morgan and Gandalf, they can react even if something wants to get close to attack them at night, so naturally there is no need for someone to keep watch.
Morgan didn't know if Gandalf was asleep, but he wasn't asleep yet anyway.
Because the virtual panel of the Time Traveler system that appeared in Morgan's mind at this time was different from before meeting Gandalf.
[Time Traveler: Morgan]
[Race: Human]
[Biological Level: First Level]
[Soul Power: 1]
[Attributes: Strength +; Physique +; Agility +; Spirit +]
[Ability: Universal Language; Muay Thai LV2; White Crow Swordsmanship LV1; Archery LV1]
[Talent: Intimacy (Special Skill)]
[Current world exploration progress: 0.1%]
【......】
At first glance, it seems that it is no different from when Morgan's bear paw was burnt.
But if you look a little closer, you can find the "Current World Exploration Progress" column at the bottom of the virtual panel.
The exploration progress that was originally only "0.01%" has suddenly become "0.1%"!
Ever since the bear's paws were scorched, cough...
Morgan hasn't moved much since then.
In fact, from the time he came through the soul to the time he killed two guards and obtained the "Time Traveler System", the world exploration progress at that time was 0.01%.
Until now, half a month has passed.
Morgan rode for an unknown distance, but the world progress on the virtual panel was still 0.01%, unchanged.
Now in just a few hours, the progress of world exploration suddenly surged from 0.01% to 0.1%.
He could think of no other reason than meeting Gandalf.
This is also consistent with the idea he had thought about before.
The world exploration progress on the virtual panel is closely related to the plot characters of Middle-earth.
If Morgan wants to increase world exploration progress, he must participate.
This should be what the system requires.
And Morgan is increasingly aware of the importance of the progress of world exploration.
This thing may be equivalent to the task assigned to him by the Time Traveler System.
As long as the world exploration continues to increase, more information about the system will definitely be unlocked.
After thinking about this, Morgan stopped thinking about it.
He quickly shifted his attention to the soul power column.
Is it to strengthen and upgrade the four major attributes?
Or strengthen and upgrade three abilities and skills?
Morgan was lost in thought.
With four major attributes, this body is only twenty-one years old this year and is full of youthful vitality.
Now that I only have a little soul power, strengthening the four major attributes should not significantly improve my strength.
Gandalf had already said that he would reach his destination tomorrow.
According to his idea, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, he should be able to meet the stubborn and proud dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield.
The other party attaches great importance to this expedition. It is not easy to join the expedition team.
Morgan knew how stubborn that person was, and relying solely on Gandalf's recommendation would definitely be difficult if he couldn't show his strength to impress the other person.
So, what I should strengthen now is the thing that is most obvious and most important to improve my strength.
Thinking of this, Morgan immediately ruled out the idea of strengthening the four attributes.
Thus focusing on the ability column.
Muay Thai is a boxing technique that he has practiced hard for more than ten years in his previous life, although its individual attack power and lethality are not bad.
But thinking about this fantasy and magical world, there are still enemies to face in the future.
Morgan immediately changed his gaze.
White crow swordsmanship and archery are two abilities that this body is familiar with.
Over the past half month, Morgan has mastered it.
These two abilities are what he wants to strengthen most now.
The most obvious and conspicuous way to improve your strength is to impress Thorin Oakenshield and the other dwarves.
Morgan's eyes stopped decisively on the skill "Archery LV1".
The next second.
A pale white light flashed.
"Archery LV2..."
