The hobbits living in the Shire are a branch of humanity. In Sindarin, they are called Perion, which actually means halfling. They have no objection to this title, but they prefer to call themselves Hobbits.
bit people.
The ancestors of these little guys can be traced back to ancient times, and their footprints traveled through most of the Middle Earth before finally settling in the Shire.
They like a comfortable life very much and are very proficient in farming, crafts, cooking and other tasks.
The most commendable thing is their cooking skills.
The barbecue is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a fragrant aroma; the stew is rich in ingredients and the soup is delicious; the ham is moderately thick and not greasy; the mead is sweet and sour and never overcooked.
Allen, who lives here, is very satisfied with these. He feels that only during this period of time living in the Green Dragon Tavern can he truly satisfy his appetite.
For this reason, Allen often wonders if he can bring the cook here back to Wilderness Town.
This is an impossible idea. Hobbits hate surprises and do not like taking risks. They especially love their home.
If the owner of the Green Dragon Tavern knew about this, he would definitely kick Allen out of his tavern as soon as possible.
In order to be able to eat great dishes every day, Allen never expressed his thoughts.
During these days, Allen and Gandalf have almost traveled here. Tonight is the time agreed upon by Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield.
Early this morning, Gandalf went out to do errands by himself.
Alan was not in a hurry. He stayed in the tavern alone and planned to go there in the evening. After all, it was very close to Bilbo Baggins' home.
In the evening, after eating his fifth meal of the day, Alan got up and walked towards Bilbo Baggins' home with a gift.
The future snitch lived in a very luxurious place with his own name, Bag End. It was the largest and most luxurious house in the area. Alan had passed by it many times.
At that time, Allen could often see Bilbo sitting in front of the door smoking, and sometimes Allen would chat with him.
After the two got acquainted with each other, Bilbo was also very hospitable. He would fill a bag of cigarettes for this big man who often chatted with him, and then the two of them would smoke together and chat.
This is a simple and very polite hobbit.
If he hadn't known the plot, Alan would never have known that this hospitable hobbit who knew how to enjoy himself would take part in the adventure and become the future snitch Bilbo Baggins.
By the time Alan arrived at the door of Bag End, he could already hear the commotion inside. It must be that the dwarves had arrived.
Allen stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and soon, amid bursts of complaints, a depressed Bilbo opened the door.
After he saw clearly that the person coming was Allen, he wailed: "No, no, no, no, Allen, you came at the wrong time, even though I have wanted to invite you to have afternoon tea or something like that many times."
As he said that, Bilbo looked into the busy room and continued: "But you also heard that there was a ghost tonight. I don't know why, but many dwarves suddenly came. They also said they wanted to be in my house.
The family party has become a mess now, Allen, please come back at another time, okay?"
Perhaps because he saw someone he knew, Bilbo said a lot of complaints, and Alan listened patiently.
Then Allen showed an embarrassed expression on his face and said with a smile: "Although it's a pity, what I want to tell you is that I have a part in this party, please accept my gift."
Allen bowed lightly to Bilbo, handed over the wine in his hand, and continued jokingly: "Then, Master Bilbo Baggins, Allen is willing to serve you."
Bilbo was stunned for a while, and finally took Alan's gift, sighed, accepted his fate, and said: "Bilbo is willing to serve you, please come in, Alan, at least you are not a dwarf, right?
?”
After entering the house, Allen tidied up and found a corner to sit down. He came here after eating and did not want to join the ranks of "ransacking" Bilbo's warehouse.
However, just as Allen sat down, the bell at the door rang again.
The expression on Bilbo's honest face was almost manic. He put down the wine in his hand and walked to the door again. Then a large number of dwarves followed Gandalf and poured into Bag End.
Then Bag End descended into a complete carnival.
It must be said that even in the face of such a sudden interruption, Bilbo still maintained a good upbringing and still had time to give Alan a pot of tea and a bag of cigarettes.
After Alan said hello to Gandalf who had just come in, he smoked a cigarette and wandered around Bag End.
Enjoy watching everything happening here.
This is much more comfortable than being in a movie theater, it is truly immersive.
It was not until the tobacco was smoked, the tea was drunk, and the dwarves had packed everything that Thorin Oakenshield arrived at the door of Bag End.
It must be said that this dwarf prince has a great aura. When he arrived, all the dwarves stopped making noises and watched him quietly eating until the end.
In the original book, Thorin Oakenshield came with Gandalf, and he was pressed at the bottom of the crowd by four or five dwarves, so he was not unhappy at the beginning until Bilbo apologized for a long time.
, the mood is somewhat relaxed.
Now, the future king under the mountain is late. In fact, because he is a road fool and got lost on the way here, so his mood is still not very beautiful.
Especially after learning that the snitch Gandalf found for him was actually a hobbit with no fighting ability, and that Mr. Bilbo Baggins fainted in front of him, this made him feel even more excited.
It's unpleasant.
Thorin Oakenshield is a proud, stubborn, responsible and charming man. He has been leading the people who have lost their homes to find a life suitable for them. It must be said that he is relatively successful. In Blue
The dwarves who live in the Color Mountains respect him very much.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But as he gets older, Thorin Oakenshield's desire to find his homeland becomes more and more intense. This desire also makes his character more sensitive.
, suspicious, deep, and also very arrogant and venomous.
Thorin Oakenshield attaches great importance to this expedition, otherwise the commission would not be an equal share of his ancestral treasure.
At this time, the dwarf prince stood up, pointed at Bilbo on the ground, and then at Allen, and said helplessly to Gandalf: "Why can't you let the humans over there be my snitches?
He can definitely do a part-time job as a scout."
Gandalf quietly answered Thorin's question: "Thorin, you also know that Alan is the human leader of a large town. His town is in the wilderness. You know what this means. If you need to defeat the evil dragon,
He will also provide you with help. He will not accept the job of a snitch, and I am more optimistic about Bilbo."
Allen, who was looking at the terms of the contract in the corner, didn't know that the conversation between the two people could also affect him.
However, Allen did not pay attention to this matter, but paid more attention to the content of the terms.
Of course Allen is involved in this, and Gandalf will definitely ask Thorin for a contract for Allen. Otherwise, how could Allen accompany Thorin to the end?
This clause is similar to the one in the plot, except that Allen's job is to ensure that everyone can reach the Lonely Mountain safely, and to help the dwarves enter the Lonely Mountain, and he can also get at least one-fifteenth of the share.
Allen thought it was okay and signed his name. He had learned this bit of writing.
After signing, Allen stood up and handed the contract to Balin, the dwarf with white hair and beard.
This old man is also a ruthless man. He still wants to regain Moria at the age of 230, which is really admirable.
Allen chatted with the old man for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem with the contract, he walked towards Thorin Oakenshield.
Allen looked at the gloomy dwarf prince and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, don't you believe that Bilbo will become a successful snitch?"
With that said, Allen looked at Bilbo, who was still lying on the ground, and said, "I think this hobbit will become a great snitch, or even a master-level snitch."
Thorin Oakenshield didn't pay attention to Allen's words. He just looked at Allen, thinking about something in his mind.
Seeing that Thorin Oakenshield didn't respond to him, Allen knew that he didn't believe it, and no one else would believe it.
He thought for a while and continued with a smile: "If you don't believe it, then let's make a bet."
Thorin Oakenshield finally had some reaction and said slowly: "What are you betting on? I don't even think that Lord Baggins will participate in our expedition."
Many dwarves nearby echoed Thorin's words. Although they did not hate the hobbit who entertained them, this did not increase their confidence in Bilbo.
They think that Bilbo, a good gentleman, should rather live in this comfortable house in the wilderness? That is not suitable for this hobbit at all.
They even agreed on a bet on whether Bilbo would participate in the expedition, and even Gandalf participated.
Allen looked at them and shook his head, and said to Thorin Oakenshield: "I don't bet on this. I think Mr. Baggins will definitely participate in the expedition. I bet that one day, you will definitely change your attitude towards Bilbo."
Baggins’s opinion will definitely gain your approval. How about you, do you want to bet, Thorin Oakenshield?”
Thorin frowned. According to his temperament, he was unwilling to participate in gambling.
But now he has no confidence in Bilbo Baggins. On the contrary, he now particularly hopes that Alan can take on the responsibility of the Snitch.
So Thorin Oakenshield asked: "What about the bet? What about the time? Does it take a lifetime?"
When Allen saw Thorin agreeing, he smiled happily and said, "No, no, no, the time will be when we arrive at Gushan. The bet is to promise the other party one thing within your ability. When the time comes, you
You can even ask me to be your snitch to face the evil dragon."
Thorin thought for a while and agreed to Allen's bet.
At this time, someone finally remembered Mr. Baggins who had fainted on the ground, and carried him to the recliner with all his hands.
