No matter what the original intention of Gandalf's previous stories about the dark forces was, Frodo, who seemed to be frightened now, made the increasingly clear intelligence information counterproductive.

Even because he was afraid of being attacked by the orcs who had put Bilbo and Thorin and other dwarves into danger several times, the trolls should not come to him because of the existence of the Lord of the Rings. In desperation, Frodo quickly started to move.

Brain, trying to throw this hot potato to Gandalf.

"Gandalf, maybe I'm not as good as you say! Since you are so knowledgeable and wise, why shouldn't you be the owner of the Lord of the Rings yourself?"

"Of course not! That would bring terrible disaster to the world!" Gandalf suddenly jumped up. "If I had the Lord of the Rings, the Lord of the Rings might get the power it dreams of from me. At that time, it would be

There is no way to stop any conspiracy of the Dark Lord Sauron. Frodo, you don’t understand that the power of the Lord of the Rings to bewitch people varies from person to person. And I don’t have the tough soul and spirit of you hobbits.

will."

When it came to giving him the Ring, Gandalf's extremely violent reaction shocked Frodo.

Even as smart as Frodo, he never expected that Gandalf, who usually always smiled and showed off to others, would be so anxious when he mentioned giving the Ring to Gandalf.

As for the subsequent series of explanations given by Gandalf, Frodo finally felt proud for the first time in so many years that he was a hobbit with extremely tenacious spirit.

"Your proposal is a poor choice, not a good choice at all. Frankly speaking, the Lord of the Rings tempts the owner's mind, which is to distort a person's soul and corrupt his soul through the inner desire of its short-term owner.

Will. If I get the ring, it may use my kindness to control me...The temptation to hold it will then destroy my power. We haven't defeated Sauron yet! I still need to keep it.

These forces come to make some contribution to our great cause of peace."

He walked to the window and opened the curtains, letting the bright sunshine shine into the house again. Sam whistled and walked past the window. "Now," the wizard turned to face Frodo, "the choice is yours. No matter what, I

We will support you." He put his hand on Frodo's shoulder. "I will always stand with you. But we must make a decision soon. We don't have much time to hesitate."

Everyone was silent for a long time. Gandalf sat down again, enjoying his pipe, deeply immersed in his thoughts. The corner of his eye was still staring at Frodo. Frodo looked at the fire in the fireplace.

Yu Jin was finally as obsessed as a fan of the flames. He was thinking about the legendary doomsday rift and the terrifying scene of the volcano.

"Okay!" Gandalf finally said. "Don't be stunned for now. I want to ask you, have you figured out what to do?"

"No!" Frodo turned his attention back to the adventure itself. He was surprised that the sky was still bright, not at all like the darkness he had imagined when dusk fell. "If I think about it again, I will definitely come up with a comprehensive plan. That's it.

My understanding of you is that at least for now, no matter what impact it will have on me, I must keep the Ring and protect it."

"No matter what impact it will have, I think you need to hone your will more persistently, otherwise you will easily lose yourself in the process of holding the Ring."

"Maybe," said Frodo. "But I also hope that you can find a more competent guardian as soon as possible. But before that, I'm afraid I must leave my beloved Bag End, or even leave the Shire.

I have to leave everything I know behind to ensure that those dark forces will not destroy my hometown." He sighed.

"If possible, I still want to ensure that the Shire is safe. Maybe I used to resent the other relatives and neighbors who were ignorant and greedy for petty gains, but I don't think so now. As a Huo who was born in the Shire area

Bit people, I just want my people to live a peaceful and happy life. As for achieving that goal, my adventure will not be so unbearable. Even if the final price may be that I have never been able to return to the Shire,

Then I admit it."

"Of course, I have thought about leaving before, but in my imagination it was just a holiday. Just like Bilbo's wonderful adventure, it could end peacefully. But this time it is an exile. I must stay away from danger, but

Then I lured it after me. If I want to save Ciel, I have to leave alone this time. But I feel so small, so uneasy, even desperate. The Demon King is too powerful and terrifying."

Although Frodo did not tell Gandalf, when he made his passionate confession, his inner yearning for adventure and the fire of courage suddenly burned brightly.

At this moment, he only wanted to imitate Bilbo, or even meet him again! This thought was so strong that it overcame his fear, and he even thought about being like Bilbo back then, hurriedly picking up a few necessary luggage and running away

Venture outside.

"Dear Frodo!" Gandalf said with relief. "Now, perhaps I can declare with great honor that Bilbo has a very vicious eye in choosing his successor. As his successor, you are equally brave and fearless, and equally like

He also has a simple heart for good. Perhaps there is no one more suitable for this adventure than you, the owner of the ring."

"Of course, you don't have to worry about being alone on this adventure. If possible, you can summon a few friends you trust to go with you. But no matter what, you must remember to stay vigilant during the adventure.

Even when facing our closest friends, we cannot take it lightly! Our enemies have claws and claws all over the place and are pervasive."

He suddenly stopped, as if he was listening to something. For some reason, the sound of the gardener's scissors cutting grass and flowers that had been ringing completely disappeared. Gandalf tiptoed to the window. Only he was seen.

He sprinted forward and reached out his hand to grab at the window.

Along with the screams, Tom the gardener outside the window was caught by Gandalf.

"Hmm, look who's here!" Gandalf said, "Is it Sam Gamgee? Can you tell me why you are here?"

"God bless you, Lord Gandalf!" said Sam. "I am just gardening. If you know my job, you will know that I am just a gardener who cuts grass and keeps flowers blooming all day long.

"As he said that, he picked up the flower clippers and used them to prove his innocence.

"Oh, that's really interesting." A hint of amusement appeared on Gandalf's face. "In my opinion, what you said is not honest. Tell me, how long did you eavesdrop?"

"Sir, you said I eavesdropped? It's true, I never heard you two talking."

"Don't pretend to be stupid! What did you hear, and why did you do this?" Gandalf frowned and smoked, looking a little scary but very intimidating.

"Mr. Frodo!" Sam shouted innocently. "Help me, I didn't do anything. I swear, I mean no harm, my lord!"

"He won't hurt you." Although Frodo was a little surprised and confused, he still suppressed his laughter and said. "I believe you are a good person. But for your own good, you should answer Gandalf's questions honestly.

!”

"Okay, sir," Sam finally became calmer. "I heard a lot of things I didn't understand, such as rings, dragons, volcanoes, and my favorite elves! These are my favorite legends.

"My lord, no matter what others say, I sincerely believe that elves exist! I really want to see them. Lord Frodo, would you like to take me to see the elves with you when you go on an adventure?"

Gandalf suddenly laughed. "Come in!" he shouted, and then he used both hands to bring the surprised Sam in together with the gardening tools in his hands. "Will I take you to see the elves?" At this moment, it was actually

It was Gandalf's turn to look carefully at the eavesdropping little gardener in front of him. "According to what you said, you must have heard the news that Frodo was leaving the Shire?"

"Of course, kind-hearted wizard. It was precisely because I heard that Mr. Frodo was leaving here that I sadly took a breath and made a loud noise, and by the way, my own existence was revealed."

"Sam, I must leave the Shire." Frodo said sadly. Just as he had thought beforehand, I'm afraid he would have to say goodbye to his good friends quietly for a while. "Before I leave the Shire,

, please help me keep this secret. Promise me not to reveal this matter to any outsiders, okay?"

Sam lowered his head tremblingly. "Sam, please look at me!" Gandalf said. "I have thought of a better idea than this. This is both a punishment for your eavesdropping behavior and a test for you. You must and

Come with Mr. Frodo!"

"Really? Can I really participate?" Sam didn't feel any sadness at all about embarking on an adventure. Instead, he cheered as if he had gotten the most beautiful and precious job in the world. "I can also visit in person.

An elf in the forest, oh yeah!”

....

"Allow me to give you a small suggestion. You need to leave the Shire as quickly as possible without attracting the attention of other neighbors and relatives."

The reason why Gandalf said this was because it had been three weeks since he made up his mind to leave the Shire, but Frodo didn't even leave the house.

"I'm trying! But I need to come up with a reasonable reason for leaving and a perfect way to explain my whereabouts." Frodo shook his head in worry. "If I disappear mysteriously like Bilbo, those who are bent on seeing me will

My relatives and neighbors who are joking will definitely spread the news of my sudden disappearance throughout the world!"

"There is some truth in your worries, but who says you must disappear suddenly?" Gandalf said. "It is definitely not possible to disappear suddenly! Maybe you will have enough time in the next few days or just a few weeks.

Think of a sufficient and reasonable reason to explain your departure and whereabouts. But no matter what, I want to remind you that our time is relatively tight, so we must leave as soon as possible."

"Maybe I can set off a little later? Just after my birthday party in the autumn." Frodo asked. "I will definitely have everything ready by then."

In any case, Gandalf finally relented and agreed to Frodo's petty request.

"Okay," he said. "It's okay to leave after your birthday party, but that's already the latest departure date, and we can't afford a later departure date. During this period, not only you,

You also need to tell your good friends who help you buy things, you must remember to keep it secret!"

"Well, maybe that's not a question at all. After all, I don't even know where I'm going to end up!" Frodo's answer was extremely easy and freehand.

"Don't worry too much!" said Gandalf. "Remember, unless you make sure that you are far beyond the boundaries of the Shire, you must not let anyone know that you are leaving the Shire. Don't let anyone know that you can't believe it.

People know that you are leaving!"

"I'm just worried about how to say goodbye to everyone! I haven't even made a detailed plan on which way to leave the Shire. It would be great if someone could see through fate and tell me how to execute it..." Frodo said

.

"No one can see through the fog of destiny to understand the future, including me." Gandalf said. "Your mission is to take the Lord of the Rings to Mount Doom to destroy it. But you can't tell, so whatever!

Anyway, you are not mentally prepared to go right now..."

"I am indeed not prepared!" said Frodo. "But I will do it well! I swear to you!"

"Okay, I believe in you. Just like I trusted Bilbo back then. You two are both good in my eyes."

After hearing the wizard's unique praise and high praise, Frodo finally showed his first heartfelt smile in days.

....

One summer afternoon, a surprising news arrived at the "Green Dragon Inn", which has always been a well-informed place in the Shire.

Once upon a time, people were still talking about the sightings of various strange creatures that appeared on the border of Lisiel in recent days.

But today, all discussion of those strange events was overshadowed by a novel event happening in the town - Mr. Frodo, the legal heir to Bilbo Baggins's fortune, decided to sell his Bag End!

Moreover, when the news spread to the Green Dragon Inn, it had already been sold to the Sackville Baggins family!

"The final sale price of Bag End was quite good! Frodo made a lot of money from this transaction." After hearing this, one of the drinkers didn't seem to understand much about this, and the other drinkers who were watching the excitement also commented.

I joined in the lively discussion with one word.

Compared to the high price at which Bag End was finally sold, people were actually more interested in the reasons why Frodo sold Bag End.

People are trying to figure out whether it is said that after Frodo inherited Bilbo Baggins' huge gold and silver treasure, he really lost all the wealth so quickly?
