Gandalf rode straight towards the smoking hobbits ahead.
Morgan followed behind, and as the distance quickly shortened, he finally saw clearly the appearance of the short hobbit sitting on the bench by the roadside in front of him.
It is the protagonist of the movie "The Hobbit" trilogy series: Bilbo Baggins.
Morgan was finally able to know exactly what time period he came to in Middle-earth.
His previous guess was correct, this was just before the plot of The Hobbit began.
It is also the beginning of all epic stories.
Follow the development pattern of the plot.
Gandalf's trip was to find Bilbo Baggins and join the adventure team of Thorin Oakenshield and other dwarves to execute the Lonely Mountain and prepare to seize the Heart of the Mountain.
According to Gandalf's suggestion, their team needs a snitch.
Thorin Oakenshield leads this group of dwarves with a great background.
They come from the bearded dwarf clan, which was once the most powerful of the seven dwarf clans in Middle-earth.
[The Longbeard Clan: regarded as a clan with sacred blood by other dwarf tribes, the nobles among the dwarves came from Mount Gundaba and Moria. They have a royal demeanor, are rich and traditional. 】
The Longbeard clan is the orthodox descendant of the Turin dwarves, also known as the Turin dwarves.
The leader, Thorin Oakenshield, is the grandson of Thor, the former king of the Kingdom under the Mountain (Kingdom of Erub), and the son of Thorne.
More than sixty years ago, the kingdom under the mountain was attacked by the giant dragon Smaug from the north and perished.
After the fall of the country, the Turin dwarves had no choice but to flee the lonely mountain and began to wander.
During this period, Thor, the king under the mountain, was ready to take back the old capital of Moria, which was occupied by the orcs.
After being dissuaded to no avail, Thor led the tribesmen who survived the Lonely Mountain to start a fierce battle with the orcs.
In the final battle of Moria, Thor, the king under the mountain, was killed by the orc leader Azog the Blasphemer.
Also in this battle, Thor's grandson Thorin lost his shield and fought fiercely with a piece of oak to turn the tide, thus earning the reputation of "Oak Shield".
Because of his bravery in this battle, Thorin Oakenshield was recognized by other tribesmen.
King Thor died in battle, and Thorne succeeded him as king under the mountain. However, due to other reasons, Thorne disappeared.
The King under the Mountain is inherited by Thorin Oakenshield who is still alive.
This is also the background before the plot of the Hobbit series of movies begins.
Quickly skipping the plot of The Hobbit in his mind, Morgan followed Gandalf and quickly approached the bench where Bilbo was sitting.
After dismounting, he followed Gandalf and stood silently outside the short fence, looking at Bilbo Baggins who was still sitting leisurely on the bench with his eyes closed and blowing out smoke rings.
Awakened by the silence, Bilbo opened his eyes and saw two strange humans, an old man and a young man, standing outside the fence of his house, staring at him strangely.
Bilbo felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the two people, and subconsciously said casually: "Good morning..."
"What's the meaning?"
"Are you saying hello to me?"
"Or do you want to say that this morning was pretty good whether I liked it or not?"
"Or do you still want to say you're feeling fine on this particular morning?"
"Or are you just saying it was a morning worth having?"
Gandalf spoke fluently while holding his staff, which made Bilbo Baggins, who was holding a pipe, a little confused and even more unnatural and uncomfortable.
But soon, he thought whether he was in Hobbiton or in front of his own Bag End. This was his own territory.
So he immediately calmed down, shrugged his shoulders to make himself look more relaxed and said, "I think it's all there..."
After Bilbo finished speaking, Gandalf fell silent again, just looking at Bilbo without speaking as before.
Morgan stood aside and said nothing, quietly watching Gandalf's performance and also looking at Bilbo.
The two of them, especially the tall old man in a gray robe, were a little embarrassed. Bilbo couldn't sit still and said hesitantly: "You... need my help?"
Gandalf finally spoke again: "Let's see..."
"I'm looking for someone to join me in my adventures..."
Gandalf looked at Bilbo and spoke quietly.
Bilbo was stunned for a moment, then finally reacted, and immediately shook his head and said: "Adventure..."
"No, I don't think anyone west of Bree would be interested in adventure."
"That's disgusting, annoying, uncomfortable..."
"It will also make it too late for you to have dinner..."
Realizing that the two uninvited visitors were up to no good, Bilbo said as he stood up and began to back away.
When the round door of Bag End was shut tightly from the inside.
Morgan finally spoke and looked at Gandalf: "What now?"
Gandalf didn't say anything, but just crossed the low fence, came to the door of Bilbo's Bag End house, and made signs with his staff on the round wooden door.
The staff, which looked like an inconspicuous piece of dead wood, continued to emit light when he was writing on the door, making Morgan's eyes widen.
This was the first time he had seen Gandalf cast a spell, and it was also the first time in his life that he had seen real magic.
Gandalf drew a pattern similar to a forked branch on Bilbo's gate. If you look closely, you will find that there are lights flickering on the pattern from time to time.
Because the mark is engraved on the corner of the door, it is difficult to detect it without looking carefully.
Morgan stepped forward and asked knowingly: "What are you doing?"
"Let's go, someone will come to persuade him for us..."
"We'll come back later..."
Gandalf smiled mysteriously and turned towards the horses on the roadside.
Morgan knew it well and naturally he didn't ask any more questions.
Soon, Morgan rode away with Gandalf.
When the noise outside faded away, Bilbo, who was leaning closely behind the circular door, lay down at the small window next to the door and began to look out.
Realizing that the two of them had left just now, Bilbo opened the door again and walked out.
After looking left and right and finding nothing strange, Bilbo muttered: "It's really inexplicable..."
Then he returned to the house, closed the door, and started humming a song to prepare for today's breakfast.
Even if someone disturbs him, it will not affect his mood to eat a delicious breakfast.
The day passed quickly.
It gets dark and night falls.
In the small, warm Bag End, Bilbo was busy preparing his dinner.
Fry the smoked fish until both sides are golden brown, and the sausage is grilled and fragrant. Add two pieces of cheese and a glass of fruity red wine.
Bilbo looked at the delicious dinner in front of him with great satisfaction and was about to enjoy it.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Who's coming to visit at this late hour?"
Bilbo was stunned for a moment, but quickly stood up and went to open the door.
Hobbits have always been very hospitable.
The same goes for him, Bilbo Baggins, as long as he's not the kind of customer he was in the morning.
"coming..."
Bilbo replied, walked briskly to the door, pulled the bolt, and opened the door.
I saw a tall dwarf standing outside.
"Dwalin, at your service..."
The dwarf bowed and looked very gentlemanly.
Bilbo was intimidated by the dwarf's professional attitude and immediately returned the greeting: "Bilbo Baggins, at your command..."
In this way, Bilbo's nightmare begins.
When Morgan follows Gandalf back to Bilbo's Bag End again.
Before you even get close, you can hear the noisy noise inside and Bilbo's powerless roar.
