As the green-painted round door was slowly pushed open, a short and somewhat old figure slowly walked out.
Even though Bilbo in the original book lived to be over a hundred years old, he only looked like a man in his fifties or sixties, because wearing the Supreme Lord of the Rings on his hand originally had the effect of extending his lifespan, but now, it is gone.
With the One Ring in hand, Bilbo looks much older than in the original work.
"My old acquaintance? Who is it?" Bilbo walked out, his eyes looked a little cloudy, and his gaze naturally passed over Frodo and fell on Dongfang Yu.
Looking at Dongfang Jade, Bilbo was obviously stunned, with a look of confusion, confusion and thinking in his cloudy old eyes.
His old acquaintance? But looking at Dongfang Jade, especially Dongfang Jade's young appearance, Bilbo felt surprised, why didn't he know this person? But taking a closer look, Bilbo felt that he looked familiar, as if he was somewhere.
I have seen this person before.
"Bilbo..." Standing at the door of Bag End, looking at Bilbo standing in front of her, Dongfang Yu felt very emotional in her heart.
Back then, I was accidentally teleported to the Den Long Babu plane by a plane elevator, and I was completely unprepared. This Hobbit plane can be said to be the first time Dongfang Yu wanted to travel through.
.
Standing here now, this scene is so similar to the first time I stood at the door of Bag End. It's just that Bilbo looks much older than he did then.
"Sir, who are you?" Because of his height, Bilbo raised his head and looked at Dongfang Jade. After thinking for a long time, Bilbo didn't figure out who Dongfang Jade was, so he asked directly.
After all, the two of them only met once a few decades ago. It would be really strange if they could still remember Dongfang Jade.
"Huh? Uncle Bilbo and this gentleman don't know each other?" After hearing this, Dongfang Yu didn't answer yet. Frodo next to him asked strangely, didn't this gentleman say that he was an old acquaintance of Uncle Bilbo?
?Why doesn’t his uncle recognize him?
"It looks a bit familiar, but I just can't remember it. Forgive me for being old and my brain is no longer working well." Hearing this, Bilbo shook his head and said, somewhat mocking himself.
"Yes, you have indeed aged a lot." After hearing this, Dongfang Yu also nodded and said with emotion. While speaking, Dongfang Yu bowed politely and said: "Hello, I am from the far east.
Adventurer, I'm a little hungry, can you give me some food?".
Dongfang Yu's words seemed to have traveled through time and space. When Dongfang Yu and Bilbo met for the first time, they were standing here and said almost the same words. At this time, this scene seemed to be like each other.
That time and that scene...
"You...you are..." Sure enough, Dongfang Jade's words came out, and the adventurer from the far east immediately made Bilbo react. Looking at Dongfang Jade carefully again, Bilbo's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a while.
A little stuttered.
Dongfang Jade's appearance overlapped with the person deep in Bilbo's memory at this moment, and the blurry figure that had long been forgotten became clear at this moment.
"After decades, I didn't expect that I would come to your home again. I have to say that this is fate, no, it should be said to be God's will." Looking at Bilbo's appearance, it was obvious that he had recognized himself. Dongfang
Jade said with a smile.
According to the theory of fate, this plane does not seem to exist. Dongfang Yu then changed his words and said that it was God's will, which was obviously easier for Bilbo to understand.
"Mr. Dongfang Yu? Is that you? I didn't expect that after decades, you are still so young. Are you a wizard, sir?" Looking at Dongfang Yu's young face, it seems that he is older than Frodo in appearance.
They are not much older, Bilbo couldn't help but said in amazement.
The lifespan of human beings is not long, except for wizards. Decades have passed, and Dongfang Jade still looks so young and in his prime. No wonder Bilbo suspects that he may be a wizard.
"No, no, no, I am not a wizard, otherwise how could Gandalf and the others not see it?" Hearing this, Dongfang Yu smiled and shook her head and then continued: "By the way, Mr. Bilbo, after all these years
When we meet again, will you just let me stand at the door and talk?".
"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Dongfang, please come in quickly, hurry up..." After hearing Dongfang Yu's words, Bilbo realized that he had left him at the door of his house, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and welcomed Dongfang Yu in.
Inside his own house.
Dongfang Jade bent down and walked into Bilbo's house through the green-painted round door.
Although it is Bag End, it does not have the damp and cold feeling of a cave at all. Instead, it makes people feel comfortable and warm. The living environment is really good. Of course, this house is still too big for Dongfang Jade.
It's a little shorter, so if you're not careful, your head will still hit the lamp hanging on the ceiling.
"Frodo, hurry up and prepare lunch. Well, prepare a sumptuous lunch. This is an honored guest!" After sitting down, Bilbo turned around and said to Frodo next to him, and emphasized the "honored guest"
.
"Okay, Uncle Bilbo." After hearing this, Frodo nodded and said, but he felt surprised in his heart. It seems that this guest is really an old acquaintance of Uncle Bilbo, but he comes from the far east.
Adventurer?
What did Uncle Bilbo call him? Mr. East? East? Is it because he comes from the far east?
Dongfang Jade and Bilbo sat down. Although Bilbo was old, the adventure factor was integrated into his bones and it was not easy to disappear. So after sitting down, Bilbo couldn't help asking Dongfang Jade a lot about him.
Interesting things on the adventure, and even asked Dongfang Yu and Thorin carefully about their adventure trip to Gushan.
Although the events of that year have long been transformed into countless versions by bards and circulated in the Middle-earth continent, but what exactly happened in those years, naturally you still need to ask Dongfang Yu the person involved to know, right?
Back then, Dongfangyu had experience as a storyteller in Tianlong Babu, so she told Bilbo adventure stories. It was full of ups and downs. In order to hear more stories, Dongfangyu even stayed at home for one night. This time
, Dongfang Jade told Bilbo a story again. After experiencing so many planes, Dongfang Jade naturally saw more interesting things.
In modern society, people can watch TV and surf the Internet, and there are many entertainment activities. However, in this dimension, listening to stories seems to be the best entertainment activity. Zhu Yan's witty words spit out from Dongfang Yu's mouth, which can be heard
Bilbo looked beaming with joy, as if he was attracted by the adventure stories told by Dongfang Jade.
"Uncle Bilbo, Mr. Dongfang, lunch is ready..." When Frodo had prepared a sumptuous lunch, Bilbo was still immersed in the wonderful story of Dongfang Jade. Looking back, he was surprised.
Said: "What? Already ready? So fast?".
Being immersed in the wonderful story and unaware of the passage of time, Bilbo originally thought that Frodo was lazy, so he prepared some casually. However, he looked at his pocket watch and then looked at the sumptuous table. Bilbo was fine.
Only then did I realize the passage of time.
"Mr. Dongfang, your experience is really wonderful." After inviting Dongfang Jade to sit down, Bilbo said with envy in his eyes. His expression was almost the same as before.
"I have told you a long time ago that wonderful adventures are not in stories or in other people's mouths, but in your own feet. You should go out for a walk yourself." Looking at Bilbo, Dongfang Yu said.
.
Bilbo is indeed adventurous at heart, but unfortunately, because he has stayed in the Shire for many years, he is just like a flower in a greenhouse, and he is instinctively afraid of the outside world.
"It's a pity, I'm already old and can't walk anymore." When he heard Dongfang Yu's words, Bilbo's expression dimmed a lot, and he said, yes, when he was young, he was afraid of going out and the outside world, but now, he is afraid of going out and the outside world.
I want to go out for a walk, but my age is no longer enough.
"I'll tell you the truth. I think you knew that Gandalf and the others invited me to go to the Lonely Mountain back then. However, if Gandalf hadn't invited me, he would have definitely come to invite you. If you were bolder, really
If you are willing to go out, you will definitely be able to create your own legend. Perhaps, my reputation today is what you were able to obtain back then."
Looking at Bilbo's gloomy expression, Dongfang Yu thought for a moment and said.
These words are true. If he hadn't intervened in this plane, Bilbo's experience would have been extremely exciting. In the original book, Bilbo even faced the fire dragon Smaug alone and was entangled with him through words. Dongfang Yu liked it the most.
It's a bridge.
The Supreme Lord of the Rings changed hands several times in the plot of this plane, but in Dongfang Jade's view, the only person who could truly withstand the erosion of the Supreme Lord of the Rings for many years and give it up voluntarily was Bilbo Baggins...
"Can I do it? Can I do it? Can I do it?" Hearing this, Bilbo's eyes widened, and he said with some surprise and expectation. If he is bolder and dares to go out, he can get the same thing as Mr. Dongfang.
Experience?
"Okay, I absolutely believe it." Upon hearing this, Dongfang Yu nodded seriously without any hesitation.
"etc……".
Listening to the conversation between Dongfang Jade and his uncle, Frodo became more and more surprised. At this time, he finally reacted and exclaimed: "Mr. Dongfang, you participated in the trip to the Lonely Mountain that year.
?You? Are you the legendary dragon slayer Mr. Dongfang Yu?".
