"I'm right, coming here is a waste of time."
"No, not entirely..."
"At least we have a sharp archer like Morgan in our team."
"Not only that, I also won twice in bets, haha..."
"Hey, Bofur, you only won this once, you lost last night..."
"I wonder if you are too optimistic. This bet is not over yet..."
"Haha, although I admit that Mr. Baggins prepared a sumptuous dinner for us last night."
"But that doesn't mean he has the guts to take risks with us..."
"It's been this long, and Mr. Baggins can't possibly show up."
"So, I will definitely win..."
On the forest path scattered with mottled light spots in the morning.
The expedition team was talking and laughing.
"etc..."
At this moment, a clear and familiar voice suddenly came from behind.
Everyone reined in their horses and turned around.
I saw a short figure wearing a burgundy coat running barefoot and waving something in his hand.
"Haha, look, it's Mr. Baggins..."
"Damn, it's incredible. I thought that kid would never catch up..."
"So, don't draw conclusions too early."
"Bofur, you lost again, hahahaha..."
"I'm just unlucky..."
"Hey, it's a good thing that Mr. Baggins is here. You two should stop talking..."
The dwarves were chattering, and Bilbo was already catching up quickly.
"I signed..."
Bilbo walked into the group waving a contract that was longer than his height.
Balin, the white-bearded dwarf, reached out to take the contract, then took out his reading glasses and looked carefully at where the contract was signed.
Then he looked at Bilbo and smiled: "Welcome Lord Baggins to join Thorin Oakenshield's team."
After the words fell, the entire expedition team laughed kindly.
A hobbit who has never traveled far can give up his leisurely and comfortable life and dare to be invited to join the adventure.
If nothing else, courage alone is worthy of admiration.
"Give him a pony..."
Thorin Oakenshield looked at Bilbo and said.
Bilbo had never participated in battles or adventures, so naturally he couldn't ride a horse.
Riding a big horse is prone to accidents, but riding a pony is much safer.
After all, the pony is only about the same height as Bilbo, so even if it falls, nothing will happen to it.
Bilbo sat on the back of the half-sized pony, feeling a little nervous.
The expedition team continues on the road.
At this time, the voice of the dwarf Balin came from the front: "Hey, Groin, it's time for you to pay..."
The words fell.
"Wow..."
A money bag flew straight from the back to the front and was caught by Bahrain.
"Kili..."
Morgan also spoke, and before he finished speaking, a money bag also flew directly towards Morgan.
Morgan raised his hand and grabbed the money bag, shaking it subconsciously in his hand. It was a bet of ten silver coins, not much but not much, enough for him to have a full meal of wine and meat.
"What are they doing?"
Bilbo asked, carefully driving the pony closer to Gandalf.
"Are they making a bet on whether you'll show up?"
"Most people don't think you're going to show up."
Gandalf held the cigarette rod in his mouth and said vaguely.
"how about you?"
Bilbo was silent for a moment and then continued.
As soon as he finished speaking, a money bag flew over from the front. Gandalf caught the money bag and put it into his cloth bag.
Then he took out his pipe and smiled: "Bilbo, I have never doubted you."
"I can prove this..."
At this time, a voice came.
Bilbo turned his head quickly and saw Morgan approaching quickly from behind on horseback.
"I won by overpowering you."
Morgan smiled and threw the money bag in his hand and looked at Bilbo and smiled.
"Thanks for your trust."
Seeing Morgan's kindness, Bilbo immediately smiled too.
"You're welcome, we will be adventure partners from now on."
Morgan said casually.
He really didn't dislike him, nor did he mean to look down on Bilbo like the dwarves did.
As the protagonist of The Hobbit series, Bilbo has his own unique radiant charm.
He symbolizes the story of how little people can accomplish great things.
As the only holder of the Lord of the Rings in the entire Middle-earth continent who can give up the Lord of the Rings by his own will.
Bilbo's character needs no introduction.
Morgan does not have the "great love" character of Bilbo, nor can he do the things he did in the memory plot.
But that doesn't stop Morgan from admiring people like Bilbo.
What's more, as Bilbo is the protagonist, Morgan's friendship with him only has advantages and no disadvantages.
Although Bilbo is still a rookie who doesn't know anything.
"Adventure partners..."
Bilbo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the word Morgan.
"Yes, I am now a member of the team...my own adventure has begun."
"Maybe I can achieve the same achievements as my great-great-grandfather and great-great-grandfather in the future..."
Thinking of this, Bilbo felt a little excited in his heart, and he became more and more looking forward to the adventure in the future.
Morgan certainly didn't know what was going on in Bilbo's mind.
At this time, he was secretly thinking about the "Lord of the Rings" that would entangle Bilbo for the rest of his life.
If the plot remains unchanged, the "Supreme Lord of the Rings" will stir up troubles in the entire Middle-earth world.
At this time, it should still be in the hands of the mutant hobbit "Gulu" at the bottom of a mine in the underground Goblin Kingdom in the Misty Mountains.
Morgan was thinking about what would happen if the rest of the journey went as planned.
If we really get to the Goblin Kingdom, we should seize the Lord of the Rings from Gollum before Bilbo does.
Of course, Morgan is not the main character.
Let’s not talk about whether we can meet Gollum or not.
Even if you encounter it, whether you can take it away is another matter.
After all, you can become invisible by wearing that thing.
Gollum killed his own people and took away the Supreme Lord of the Rings. It was impossible for him not to know the power of the Lord of the Rings for many years.
That is, Bilbo, who has the halo of the protagonist, can easily pick up the Lord of the Rings when he falls off the cliff.
It's not necessarily the case if you switch to Morgan.
Middle-earth is a world with gods.
As for Bilbo's footsteps, in Morgan's current view, there is always a sense of being guided by fate.
Of course, as long as there is a chance to obtain the "Lord of the Rings", Morgan will never give up.
As for whether he can withstand the temptation of the Lord of the Rings and whether Morgan's will is firm enough, that is another matter after getting the Lord of the Rings.
After all, an artifact that can become invisible at any time is equivalent to having an extra life.
If Morgan said he wasn't moved, that must be a lie.
As for what will happen to Bilbo after taking the Lord of the Rings, that's none of Morgan's business.
It was one thing for him to admire Bilbo's character.
But when it comes to self-interest, that's another matter.
Comparing the two, the latter is definitely more important.
This will never change.
Of course, it is not easy to seize the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and he has to think long and hard.
