Gandalf didn't speak after hearing this, but just sucked his pipe silently. It was not until half a day later that he said: "We need help, Thorin, with dwarves alone, and only so many dwarves, we cannot recover your country. You have to know what we are facing, Thorin..."

But Thorin slapped the table hard and said, "But how do you know that these people are reliable? My country, the kingdom at the foot of the mountain, the wealth there is enough for the elves to look at it! How do you know whether these people are reliable!? My kingdom cannot..."

Gandalf frowned and corrected, "It's a kingdom that has not been recovered. Thorin, you can't act voluntarily. Don't use your dwarf's stubbornness at this time. The enemy we have to face is too strong, and all the wealth you are talking about is just a mirror flower in the water. You cannot use the wealth you haven't obtained to doubt possible external help. You understand what I said, put away the pride of your king at the foot of the mountain. Now, at least now, you need all the help of the power you can get!"

Thorin was silent, and he looked at Chu Hao and others with a scrutiny, and he no longer stopped Gandalf from taking out the map from his arms. In this way, in everyone's attention, an old map was spread on the table, and the map was earthy yellow.

"In the far east, crossing mountains and rivers, passing through forests and deserts, there is a spire-topped lonely peak, that's..." Gandalf said, pointing to the map.

Bilbo stood behind Gandalf with a candle. He looked at the map and read the text on it, "The name is, Gushan, Irube."

One of the bunch of dwarves next to him said, "Yes, Quinlin has seen signs, and prophecies say that when the ravens of the past fly back to the Lone Mountain, the rule of the monster will end, and this is the time for us to regain our kingdom."

After Bilbo heard this, the desire to explore in his bloodline emerged again, and he asked curiously: "Warcraft? What kind of monster?"

Another dwarf was smoking a cigarette, and he said while spitting out cigarettes: "Warcraft refers to the most terrifying monster in the world, dragon and fire dragon Smaug. It is one of the most terrifying disasters in the Second Era. It can spit fire and fly, its teeth are as sharp as razors, and its claws are as sharp as steel hooks. It especially likes precious metals, such as gold, silver, mitral, etc...."

Billbo nodded and said, "Yes, I know what kind of dragon it is. I have read many novels that have the adjective of dragon, dragon..."

Another dwarf stood up and shouted loudly: "I'm not afraid of it. I'm going to beat it to the ground with the dwarf's weapon. I'm not afraid of it!"

The dwarves around them also cheered up together, and the oldest one of the dwarves said: "I'm sorry, even if we use the army to fight it, we may not succeed. That's a dragon, a fire dragon, and we don't have an army here, we only have thirteen people. Well, with the possible mercenaries, we only have more than twenty people. I really don't know how we can defeat this evil dragon alone."

The dwarves around suddenly burst into noise. At this time, another dwarf slapped the table and said, "Although we are not many, we are all warriors, we are all elites, and don't forget that there is also a wizard in our team, Gandalf!"

A dwarf next to him also said, "Yes, Gandalf must have killed a hundred years of evil dragon when he was young, right? Gandalf."

Gandalf waved quickly and said, "Uh, this, no, what I want to say is that these things have passed, so..."

The dwarves did not give up. They asked about how many evil dragons Gandalf had killed. Gandalf could only shut his mouth and could not even vomit out smoke. They were suppressed in his nose and throat. The dwarves were making noise and kept asking about how many evil dragons they had killed.

The scene was already in chaos. At this time, Thorin slapped the table suddenly and shouted loudly, "Enough!"

Then he stood up and looked at all the dwarves and said, "Since we can see the signs of the raven flying back to Gushan, do you think others can't see it? Now the rumors have begun to spread. Humans, dwarves, and even elves, they all say that the fire dragon Smaug has not appeared for sixty years. Many people think that it has left Gushan or has died. Many people look at the Gushan Mountain in the east. They look at it, and they guess, and they don't know when someone will go to our kingdom!"

"So, should we sit here and watch others take away the wealth of our ancestors, own our land, occupy our homeland, or take advantage of the signs to regain our country and our Irube!?"

Suddenly, all the dwarves screamed excitedly. They slapped the table to express their emotions. The fear of the evil dragon seemed to have begun to dissipate.

At this time, the oldest dwarf said again: "Don't forget, everyone, the main gate of Irube was sealed. When we fled Irube, the gate had been closed forever, and there was no way to enter the mountains. Even if we went to Gushan, it would be futile."

At this moment, Gandalf suddenly said, "Dear Bahrain, you may be wrong." As he spoke, a key appeared in his hand, which looked dark gold, neither bronze nor gold, and could not tell what material it was made of.

Thorin seemed to know the key, and he looked at it and asked in a deep voice: "Where did you get it?"

Gandalf exclaimed, "It was Thorne who gave it to me, your father, who entrusts me to keep this key, and now it is yours."

Thorin took the key thoughtfully, and a dwarf next to him said, "Since there is a key, there must be a door that it can open."

Gandalf nodded and continued, "The corner of this map is here. These runes represent a hidden passage leading to the bottom of Gushan, where you can enter the interior of Gushan."

The dwarves seemed to be very excited. One of the dwarves patted the shoulder of the dwarves just now and said, "There is another entrance, we can go back to the Lone Mountain..."

Gandalf looked at him and said, "The premise is that we can find it. The gate of the dwarf is invisible after closing, and it is difficult for us to find it. The location of the gate is hidden on this map. It's just... It's a pity that I don't have the ability to find it, nor can I interpret these words. But don't worry, someone can find it in Middle-earth world and interpret it. This is my plan. Let's go to Middle-earth continent first. Of course, this requires concealment. After all, we cannot let people know that we can enter the Gushan Mountain, and this journey requires courage. After all, we are facing a fire dragon. When we find the hidden entrance, we can sneak into the Gushan Mountain. In that narrow place, no matter whether the fire dragon Smaug is still there, we have the opportunity to defeat it. The premise is..."

One of the dwarves said, "The premise is that it is hidden enough, so we need a thief, right?"

Bilbo was already listening to everyone's words, and he immediately responded: "Yes, a thief, and he must be top-notch so that he will not be discovered by the fire dragon."

Thorin pondered for a moment, then asked Bill Bo and said, "So are you a thief? And you are a top-notch."

Bilbo came to his senses at this time. He looked around and confirmed that Thorin asked him. He quickly replied: "No, no, I am not a flying thief. I have never stole anything in my life. Yes, I am not a flying thief."

The dwarf suddenly burst into laughter, and one of the dwarves said, "He said he was a top thief." This caused more laughter.

The oldest dwarf then said, "I'm afraid I have to agree with Mr. Bilbo's words. He is indeed not a thief, nor even a warrior."

Another strongest dwarf warrior responded: "I think so, he can't fight, nor survive in the wild, and can't even protect himself. He has no use at all."

Bilbo was a little embarrassed, but he had nothing else to say, and he could only say no. The dwarfs began to mock Bilbo, and his words became more and more excessive. Several times, even the three newcomers and girls from the North Bingzhou team couldn't listen to them and planned to interrupt their conversation, but the three of them were afraid that Chu Hao would be angry, so they could only worry there. At this moment, Gandalf suddenly stood up.

"Enough!"

Just as Gandalf said this, a huge aura came into the air, which was extremely huge and condensed. For a moment, all the sounds stopped, and even the people in the North Bingzhou team felt the terror. The only person in the team seemed to be unaffected was Nian Xikong, and she was still eating some fruits in small mouthfuls.

"If I say Bilbo Baggins is a snitch, then he is a snitch!"

This momentum comes and goes quickly. When the momentum completely subsides, Gandalf becomes an ordinary-looking old man, as if his previous momentum is completely an illusion.

"The Hobbits have extremely sensitive legs and feet. They walk silently. As long as they want, their actions can even deceive any creature. This is a natural thief, and don't forget it!"

Gandalf sat down again and said seriously: "The Fire Dragon Smaug has experienced a great battle with you dwarves. He has remembered the smell of your dwarves, but he has never touched the smell of the hobbits, so if you must have hidden actions, then the hobbits must be your best choice! Thorin, this is the thief I have chosen for you, and you should believe me."

Thorin stared at Gandalf for a long time before he said, "Well, since that's the case... give him the contract, and these mercenaries, and give the rest to them."

The oldest dwarf took out two contracts from his arms, both of which were ancient texts written in parchment, and handed one to Bilbo Baggins, and the other to Chu Hao.

Chu Hao took the contract and was stunned. Before he could take a closer look, the lawyer Nuohan next to him came over and said, "Captain, do you need my help? The contract is my old job."

Chu Hao handed the contract to Nuohan with a complicated expression, but Nuohan had no abnormal expression at all. He immediately understood that this was the voice of the main god that only the team leader could hear.

"The contract (deputy) can make the reincarnation team alliance with the teams in the horror movie world. No violation can be made within the contract terms, otherwise the violation will be erased by the main god (the plane consciousness)."
