Bilbo took over the contract and didn't even look at it, so he signed his name directly.

Bahrain took the contract, verified it, and then smiled with satisfaction, "Welcome, Bilbo Baggins, you are already a member of us."

Thorin said calmly: "Find him a pony to ride."

"Pony?" Bilbo hurriedly said, "No, I can walk by myself, I don't need to ride that kind of furry."

Before he could finish speaking, Qili and Fili raised it from the left and right sides respectively, and placed it on the back of a short pony.

Bilbo protested strongly: "I don't want to ride a horse, it's very uncomfortable. I prefer to walk with my own feet and I can keep up with your speed."

Thorin said coldly: "Bilbo, I don't doubt your ability, but our journey is very long, so we have to save energy."

Bilbo sighed helplessly, "I suddenly began to regret it. May I ask, can I turn back now?"

Thorin said coldly: "No, you have signed it. If you leave now, you will betray our Oak Shield Tribe. Our entire Oak Shield Tribe will be enemies with you."

Bilbo shrank his tongue, "Okay, then that's it."

Gandalf drove the carriage and came to him with a smile, "I'm glad you can come, Bilbo, it seems, I believe you are right."

Bilbo smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know why I did this, it's too different from me."

Gandalf smiled and said, "No, maybe, this is the real you, the real you whom you haven't even realized it."

At this time, Solin, who was at the front of the team, took out a bag of gold coins and threw it to Xu Feng at the back of the team.

Xu Feng took the money bag and put it into his pocket without any politeness.

Immediately afterwards, Qili, Philip, Ouyin, and Ouli all took out their wallets and threw them to Xu Feng.

Bilbo asked in confusion: "What are they doing?"

Gandalf sipped the Charles tobacco and said with a chuckle: "They used you to bet on whether you can come. The swordsman Diedi said you can definitely come. Thorin and the others said you can definitely not come. Now, Diedi won, Thorin and the others lost."

Bilbo asked curiously: "What about you, did you win or lose?"

Gandalf smiled but said nothing.

After a while, Devalin threw a bag of gold coins at Gandalf, and Gandalf put them away without any politeness.

Although the secondary god does not need gold, silver and treasures, it is always a very happy thing to be able to win chips.

When Bilbo was about to express his gratitude, his nose itched and he couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row.

"This horse hair makes me allergic..." He took out his pocket, and then his face changed drastically, "No! No! Wait! Stop! Turn around! I have to go back!"

Gandalf asked quickly, "What's wrong?"

Bilbo said loudly: "I forgot to bring my handkerchief! I have a lot of handkerchiefs, and each handkerchief is thrown away after using it, so I need to bring a lot of handkerchiefs, and it is a handkerchief with the Baggins emblem! I have to go back and get it!"

Duoli laughed and then tore off a piece of his linen clothes, "I'll give it to you, no thanks!"

Bilbo took the greasy and dirty "handkerchief", and his whole face was almost twisted.

Thorin shouted in a deep voice: "Don't stop, keep moving forward! We must walk out of the Shire area before dark."

Gandalf smiled and said, "Bilbo, you have to get used to it. Now it is no longer the comfortable life you enjoyed before. Everything has to be simplified. You grew up by the hills and rivers of Charles. There were no strong winds or waves. But now your home is behind you, which will make you very uncomfortable for a while. But from another perspective, although your home is behind you, the world is already in front of you."

"...Okay." Bilbo tried to wipe his nose with a dirty handkerchief, but after trying several times, he couldn't do it.

The dwarf team was moving slowly, but it never stopped.

As Gandalf said, home is getting farther and farther behind Bilbo.

Bilbo felt sad, but in fact, he was very excited.

He could not wait to see the world outside the Charles region.

They first crossed a hill.

Bilbo said in amazement: "This mountain is so high."

The dwarves burst into laughter.

Bahrain smiled and said, "My dear Bilbo, how is this a mountain? This is just a hill. The so-called hill is nothing more than a pile of bulging stones. The real mountains are not only tall and majestic on the surface, but also deeper and larger roots in the depths of the ground."

Groyin smiled and said, "Bilbo, when you arrive at Gushan, you will understand what the real mountain is."

Bilbo shrugged, without responding.

He felt that the mountain in front of him was the largest mountain he had ever seen.

Of course, this idea lasted only half a day.

When they walked out of the Charles region and passed through the uninhabited desert, towering mountains appeared before Bilbo.

Bilbo was immediately in amazement and couldn't speak.

He really couldn't imagine what kind of power it could create these hard rocky mountains.

Thorin held his horse's head, looked at the sky, and turned around and said, "Qilifeli, you two go to explore the way forward. We will set up camp at this high point."

"yes!"

Qili and Fili immediately fought and quickly explored the way forward.

Bilbo asked Xufeng curiously: "Didi, I don't quite understand why we should go to the high ground to set up camp, can't we find a warm cave?"

Xu Feng smiled faintly, "Prince Solin is very experienced in this regard. He did right. In such a complex mountainous area, we should find a commanding height to camp and never hide in the cave."

Bilbo asked, "Why?"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "If we have enemies, we will not be able to find their whereabouts in the low places. Moreover, if we sleep in a warm cave, the enemy will set a fire at the door and burn us to death."

Bilbo smiled awkwardly and said, "There aren't so many enemies?" I mean, we just passed by here and headed to Gushan, and it didn't hinder anyone. Why were they targeting us?"

Xu Feng smiled and said, "One side of the alliance will naturally not deal with us. After all, Thorin is recognized as the prince of the Oak Shield Tribe, and Gandalf is still in the team. However, the Demon Lord side doesn't think so."

Bilbo was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Diedi, you are scaring me, right? In fact, there is no monster at all. You just want to scare me, and you still see that I am afraid of making a fool of myself, right?"

Xu Feng smiled faintly and rode his horse.
