If you completely enter the core area of ​​Shire, you can see the Hobbits' very distinctive buildings. They still retain the living habits of ancient humans - they like to live in caves.

But it is definitely not the kind of dirty, narrow, and dark cave, but a warm, dry, comfortable well-developed cave. If there is no cave, they will dig one on the sunny slope, and in short, they will not be wronged.

But what is different from their ancient ancestors of the Hobbits is that they will not completely live in caves. In fact, the Hobbits live in groups based on families. Sometimes a large family with good relationships will have more than ten or dozens of members. Digging is a painstaking task. At this time, building a house becomes the best choice.

Of course, even when building houses, the Hobbits pursue a comfortable cave feel. Therefore, their houses are not only short, but also have large mats made of thick turf, moss, and soil, which are very distinctive.

Nowadays, houses have become mainstream, and only the richest and poorest Hobbits still live in caves. Of course, the conditions may be much worse.

Ronan and his friends warmly invited him to the Shire's spirits land, which is the territory of the Shire Deer family and the territory of Share's territory. This can be distinguished from their houses. The Share's house is the most luxurious in the entire Shire. If there is no better house in Shire, then it must be the main house of the Shire's commander Tuk family.

At the entrance of the Liejiulu Mansion is a row of houses that blend into the hillside behind. The white walls are spotless, and there are huge circular windows everywhere. The door is also a very huge round shape. When you walk into Ronan's body, you don't feel narrow at all.

The entire cave spreads to both sides with the house as the center. The sunny room is the bedroom, living room, study, kitchen, etc. of family members. Deep in the cave, the cave in the stable soil layer is a very neatly tidy storage room, studio, wine cellar, granary, vegetable cellar and other functional compartment, with a very reasonable planning.

The function of the big house itself is more like a hall. During major festivals, their family members will have dinner here, and usually, this is the government hall that handles the entire liquor affairs.

"Welcome to the Lijiu Lu family's mansion, where you can experience the hospitality of our Hobbits, salad, how about the food I prepared for the guests?" Shadalak asked inside.

Cook Sala answered at the top of her voice: "Okay, lord!"

"Okay, then let's start!" Shadalak clapped his hands, and the members of the family cleaned up the debris in the hall, then placed tables and chairs, and looked like a big banquet.

Luo Nan felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said no.

Shadalak, on the other hand, had the attitude of looking down on me if you didn't eat it, and he could not tolerate Ronan's rejection. Gandalf also persuaded Ronan that if he really wanted to respond to the enthusiasm of the Hobbits, there was only one way to eat all the food they prepared, which was the greatest respect for the owner.

"Wow!" Harry, who hadn't spoken much, completely lost his composure when the food was delivered. This poor child had never seen such a scene. The small table in front of him was full of food.

Toast, barbecue, broth, fish stew, lamb, lettuce, apples, oranges, in short, although each portion is not too much, it can definitely fill anyone's stomach bags in total, and it looks just right.

The baked stuff looks yellow on the surface and has a seductive aroma. It is definitely not the kind of dry and burnt, but the kind of oily and shiny. You can still see the still boiling oil in the cracks above.

The soup is also made in just the right way, with a complete color, fragrance and taste, and the vegetables and fruits used to relieve greasiness are all full and round, and it looks like a poster that makes people unable to bear to put their mouths.

Even Ronan, who comes from a big dry country, has to admit that this meal is really good! The Hobbits are indeed well-known and are all good farmers and chefs!

Harry held his belly and said that this was the fullest meal he had ever eaten since he was born, and it reminded him of the Hogwarts school dinner that Ronan told him about Harry Potter's story.

Another day later, Gandalf said that he needed to find the Hobbits suitable for this task. In fact, there were only a limited number of hobbits to choose from, because most of the Hobbits were scrupulous and timid. They basically never walked out of the Shire in their lifetime, nor had they seen any big mountains and rivers, let alone fighting the evil dragon.

Different Hobbit families have different family personalities, but this is not absolute. It mainly depends on family education. Generally speaking, the Hobbits of the Tuk family are more active and prefer adventure. Their direct ancestor, Bandobras Tuk, was a genius military general who once took the heads of the enemy generals from it. This branch has always been the commander of the Hobbits.

The Hobbit families such as Liew Deer are a little bit worse. As for the Baggins family, it is a tradition in tradition. However, if the other Hobbit families marry the daughter of the Tuk family as their daughter-in-law, their descendants will have more or less the "Tuk" characteristics. This is not bloodline, but family tutor.

But Gandalf needs to carefully observe who is the right one. In short, the dwarves are still on the way, while Thorin has already gone to the meeting, so there is still plenty of time.

"So are we just watching Gandalf check the right candidates all over the Shire?" Harry couldn't bear to watch an old man running around all day.

Ronan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "You are right, Harry, but we are indeed not as familiar with the entire Shire as Gandalf."

"But we can try to get familiar with it, Mr. Ronan."

"Harry, Gandalf is not an old man. He is a Maiya. Do you understand? He is not a human, or even a creature. He will never grow old or die. The most we see is his body. Don't have so much sympathy for him, he doesn't need it."

Harry still stressed stubbornly: "I think we need it."

Ronan was silent. This child was really kind and would be difficult to survive in the future. So he hugged Harry and said, "Don't worry about so many useless things. In this way, I will tell you the story of Harry Potter again!"

"Oh, but..."

Shadalak passed by outside the door, and when he heard the keyword "story", he immediately rushed to Ronan, "Please tell me too. Wait, I will get the pen and paper."

Ronan: "Aren't you the lord of the spirits? Are you so idle every day?"

Shadalak: "Well... I'm really idle. After breakfast every day, I handle official business for an hour, and then I'm basically fine. Just wait for dinner and sleep. This kind of life is really simple and boring, so I need some stories to polish. Okay, you can tell it."

...

More than a week passed, and Gandalf seemed to be increasingly sure of the best person in his heart, and he was talking to Ronan.

"I found Bilbo from the Baggins family. This is a good guy. He was very adventurous when he was young. Can you believe it? He was only six years old at that time, and he poked my butt with his own wooden knife. He also explored around Charles every day, and did not go home with a covered in dirt until it was dark..."

Gandalf talked a lot for a long time, but the core essence was that Bilbo Baggins was born for this adventure. He was honest and steady, but also full of adventure, and was simply a gift from God.

Ronan knew that this would be the result, which was not surprising at all, but Shadalak had a big opinion.

"Bilbo Baggins? No, Gandalf, you can't bring such a good guy outside. His parents passed away not long ago, and he has no family or children. If he had any accidents, I'm sorry to Bong and Belladonna. We can't be so ruthless!"

Gandalf hesitated again, because this is a journey where he cannot guarantee the outcome. Is it just to just drag an unprepared person into the whirlpool? But what is the meaning of personal honor, disgrace, gains and losses in the face of life and death of the entire continent?

If it was his own life, Gandalf could certainly give it without hesitation, but this is Bilbo Baggins' life and should be left to him to decide.

Ronan played his role at this time because he wanted to strengthen Gandalf's confidence.

“I think I can guarantee Bilbo Baggins’ safety.”

"What?" Gandalf looked at Ronan. Was he actually going to violate Vera's instructions?

"My agreement with the gods was to offer them an epic journey, but it did not say that I must die. In the last moment, if there was no way, I would take action to protect Bilbo Baggins' safety."

Gandalf glanced at Ronan and nodded deeply, "Thank you!"

Then he turned around and went to find Bilbo Baggins.

Shadalak looked at Ronan and said, "Then Master Ronan, please tell the story of "Harry Potter" before you leave."

Ronan had no choice but to pull Harry and Shadalak to tell the last few chapters of the series together.

After noon, Ronan looked at the clouds in the sky and thought that he was finally going to set out for an expedition. Since he arrived in Alda, he had never left Charles and Brie were finally leaving. He was still a little sad. Harry sat with him, feeling excited and scared. He knew that the world would no longer be peaceful after leaving this area, and the worst beating he had ever suffered was just a meal of hunger by his aunt.
