Chapter 49: Home is behind and the world is in front of you
Unfortunately, according to the elderly mayor of the Hobbits, there is only this forbidden magic stone statue in the entire Shire area.
This means that Gu Xiaoheng's fantasy of making more money from a few powerful subordinates will be ruined.
After curling his lips, Gu Xiaoheng also dismissed the Hobbit officials.
When Bilbo, the owner of the bag bottom pit, opened the door, he happened to run into his head and faced with the mayors and sheriffs who had just discussed various matters with Gu Xiaoheng.
Many distant relatives who were familiar with Bilbo also smiled and said hello to Bilbo, like the old mayor who was familiar with the origin of the Forbidden Magic Stone Colossus, who was the elder of Bilbo on the Tuk family.
At this moment, the old mayor with a long white beard and wrinkled face seemed to have heard that Bilbo was going out for adventure with the new Baron Charles.
"Bilbo, I wish you all the best of your adventure! Don't worry, you will definitely gain a lot with the new Baron."
Perhaps because the Tuk family loves to pursue adventure and explore the glorious tradition of unknowns, the old Hobbit supports Bilbo's decision very much. Especially after witnessing the new human Baron Charles showing off his skills, his inner concerns about Bilbo's safety disappeared without a trace.
Seeing that his distant relative was more confident in future adventures than his client, Bilbo could only smile politely and embarrassedly. In fact, he now regretted death. Why did he promise the dwarves to join the risk yesterday to recklessly act.
If it weren't for the impulsive signing of a contract with the dwarves last night, the Hobbit, who valued every promise, would have long since withdrawn from this expedition adventure that seemed almost life-threatening to him.
And now, Bilbo was surprised to find that even his distant relatives of the Baggins family who had always opposed his participation in the adventure had silently acquiesced to his adventure. This made Bilbo, who was repentant, feel angry and amused.
However, no matter what the Hobbit thief of the Solin team thought, the agreed expedition still arrived as promised.
....
When Bilbo arrived at the gate of the town, he found that the dwarves had already made all preparations to start the expedition.
"Awesome, Bilbo, I'm proud of you! I knew you were a promised hobbit!" Bahrain, the dwarf standing at the gate of the town, cheered him.
After hearing the news, the other dwarves who turned their horses' heads and looked at them also caught Bill Bo's eyes.
The dwarves were riding ponies one by one, and each pony was dragging various luggage, packages and various portable tools on their backs.
At the end of the team, there was a homeless short horse horse, which was obviously flowing out and released for Bill Bo to ride.
Seeing the dwarves and Geralt riding on horseback, Bilbo couldn't help looking behind him curiously.
Having said that, where did Gu Xiaoheng, the newly appointed Baron Charles, go? And Maeve, the female warrior who has always been inseparable from Gu Xiaoheng, have disappeared.
"Bilbo, are you looking for the Baron of Eternity?" Gandalf rushed over with a breathless ride.
Seeing the Hobbit nodding, Gandalf happily pointed to the direction of the square, and then said:
"He was talking and communicating with Su Xing's Forbidden Magic Stone Colossus in the other side of the square! Oh my God, such an exquisite Forbidden Magic Stone Colossus is really interesting."
In fact, without Gandalf's reminder, just as everyone was talking, a huge shadow enveloped everyone's heads like moving mountains.
After a while, Bilbo only saw Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve who had disappeared for a short while jumping off the shoulders of the towering giant statue.
"Sorry, am I late? I was busy chatting with this guy who was responsible for guarding Shire for a while. I got to know each other for a while, but I almost stopped taking the time to set off."
For Gu Xiaoheng's apologetic words, Bilbo timidly glanced at the forbidden magic stone statue behind him. Even though he knew that the tall man in front of him, which was made of forbidden magic stone was a friendly force, his pressure still made the Hobbit's throat dry and his nose tight.
It was pitiful that Bilbo, who had been moving around Shire all his life, had he seen such a tall living creature colossus? This was really a bit embarrassing to him!
"It's okay, Baron Eternal. Okay, let's go!"
It seemed to be equally shocked by the might of the Forbidden Magic Stone Colossus, and Thorin's tone of speech was a little dull. This made Bilbo feel a little empathetic. This was the first time he saw such a shocked and restless expression from the cold and serious dwarf leader.
....
In this way, on a clear morning, this Lone Mountain Expedition team composed of humans, dwarves, hobbits, and of course an angel with never-exposed identity set off from Shire and embarked on this legendary expedition.
Adventures will never go smoothly, and there will always be all kinds of troubles coming to you. Bilbo was prepared similarly before leaving, but he never thought that the first trouble would appear so quickly.
At this moment, they had already ridden their horses and left the territory of Charles, far away from the beautiful land of Charles, which was composed of plains and hills. Their current location was a wilderness leading to the misty mountains in the distance.
Since it is closer to the foggy mountains where dark creatures frequently appear, there are no farms, and there are no inns, and the roads are even worse. Even many trees are in the color of cursed grayish white.
What made Bilbo even more unbearable was the bad weather. In the evening, heavy rain began to fall from the sky, causing the already primitive dirt path to become muddy.
As we walked, Geralt's warning shout came from the front of the team.
"Everyone stopped, there was a huge beast footprint in front of it!"
Boom-
As a loud thunder fell from the clouds hanging in the sky, Bilbo Gulu suddenly fell down from the saddle.
Like his tired pony, the Hobbit thief who had never rode a horse was exhausted, especially when he heard that the suspected large beast was active nearby, his physical strength was already excessively lost with the heavy rain.
At this moment, Bilbo, who had a wonderful eyes, saw Gu Xiaoheng and Geralt's wolf-shaped badge hanging around his neck, illuminating a silver-white light at the same time. The two badges were trembling, as if they were warning his master and other companions.
"When enemies approach, everyone pick up their weapons and prepare for battle! Get ready for battle!"
Just glanced at the series of familiar huge footprints on the ground, everyone except Bilbo roughly guessed the race of the footprint owner - the ogre!
The next development seems to be to verify everyone's conjectures.
Under the dim sky, the rain continued, and the wind was howling the roadside woods were shaking, and several huge heads with ferocious expressions appeared.
Waving the wooden stick made of broken tree trunks in his hand, more than a dozen ogres surrounded everyone in a semicircular smile.
In the tree canopy behind the ogre, dozens of slack clothes and ragged cloth appeared one after another, and also holding branches and sticks as weapons (a dark creature that resembles a goblin/goblin).
Plop, plop—
Just as Bilbo was about to hide behind the fully armed dwarves for protection, he was frightened to find that his dwarf companions around him fell down one by one. When he came to his senses, he was shocked to realize that a mass of purple-gray poisonous mist was sucked into his nose.
It was too late to stop inhaling this ball of poisonous gas after closing your mouth!
Another sound of falling to the ground sounded, and the Hobbit Bilbo also lost consciousness softly and his body fell down.
In the poisonous fog, only Gandalf and Gu Xiaoheng's trio were still standing.
It seemed that when the expedition team was facing the poisonous fog attack, a large number of people were lost. The ogre's ugly big face grinned excitedly.
Faced with such a provocative "half-time champagne" behavior, Gu Xiaoheng was not at all panicked.
I saw his right hand slightly exerting force, and the tip of Frost's sad sword was inserted into the ground.
A whisper of the undead summoning ceremony sounded, and a stream of black smoke slowly crawled out along the frost-sad sword body.
After a moment, Gandalf looked at the formed snake monster with surprise and hissed and stunned, firing gray petrified rays at all the ogres in front of him.
The next second, wherever the rays of the snake monster went, only a lifelike stone statue of the ogres died on the spot!
Once the snake monster appears, all the scenes will be cleared!
And this is far from over.
As Gu Xiaoheng waved his Nirvana magic wand and cast the spell of "Stone Pub Movement", the ogre stone statues that had just quickly moved to the destruction of destiny were reborn and started moving again.
With the terrified eyes of the lucky little monsters around, the ogre stone statues that had become like puppets in Gu Xiaoheng's hand waved their big sticks and smashed them at the group of "former friendly" brothers.
A bloody and brutal massacre began...
