The old dwarf remained silent.
In fact, these dwarves didn't think Bella was so good-looking. She was too tall, her chin was too sharp, and her voice was soft and weak! In short, there are a lot of faults, but because of the desire for her and the natural reverence for the mage, the praise every day is still sincere.
Bella didn't know these little details, she nodded: "Well, it makes sense... It seems that the hobbits have bad vision, or you dwarves have vision! Dwarves are my true friends!"
In the evening of the same day, their group came to the home of Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who was curious about the world and loved adventure.
It belongs to the kind of guests who don't know each other and go to people's houses to eat and drink.
Bella collected some information in Shire, read several local chronicles and biographies of historical figures in Shire, and when she arrived at Bilbo Baggins' house, all the dwarves began to eat.
The small wooden house made her somewhat uncomfortable, and she had to bend over to avoid hitting her head with the chandelier.
"Excuse me, I'm sorry... can I take the liberty to ask? Do I know you? Or...you know me?" Maybe it's because Bella is not like a dwarf Rude, Bilbo Baggins stopped her and eagerly asked her doubts.
Bella carefully walked around the chandelier before looking at the halfling in front of her.
Bilbo Baggins wore bibs and a linen shirt. He had curly hair, pointed ears, and large bare feet with very thick hair.
He also ignored Bella's beauty. Maybe in his eyes, Bella was not as good-looking as those Hobbit women in the same village.
Bella chuckled lightly, that was a good explanation.
Bilbo Baggins has a pure heart, and she can see a lot without much effort.
"Of course, Dear Mr. Bilbo Baggins, I...how should I say, I have known you for a long time, you liked adventures in the forest when you were a child, and liked to search for the ancient legends of those elves, you explored All the boundaries of Shire, full of curiosity about the outside world, right, am I right? In fact, we are all your old friends, when you were fifteen years old..."
After a while of flickering, Bella became his old friend under Bilbo Baggins' confused eyes.
Going to an old friend's house for a meal makes perfect sense! As for bringing a few friends, that's understandable!
A bunch of dwarves and Bella started eating and drinking at Bilbo Baggins' house.
All kinds of mushrooms were served together with bacon, fish and chips, and the cumin cake Bella grabbed one in one hand, which was much better than wild food, and even Thorin Oakenshield did not mention pleasure. Life has corrupted the hearts of warriors. At this time, I am eating a plate of roast lamb that looks delicious and delicious.
Rabbit, venison, cured pork, gnocchi, and honey were brought up, and they were all swept up in ten minutes. Bilbo Baggins hurriedly brought them toast, cheese, apple pie, and broth.
Bella didn't care about her ladylike demeanor anymore. At this time, her mouth was full of oil, and she used forceful means to grab a small plate of bacon from the fat dwarf.
Originally, she was wondering if she could move the people of Narnia to the Shire, but now that she saw the ingredients on this table, forget it! Centaurs and half-goats may be able to live here. If those little rabbits, little squirrels, and little turtles also live here, it won't take much. It is estimated that they will be served in three days. What will I do when the time comes? Reluctantly eat two bowls?
After eating and drinking, they used the long table at Bilbo's house to discuss the next itinerary.
The council of dwarves did not support Thorin Oakenshield's actions. They needed to rely on their own strength to return to the Lonely Mountain and obtain the Arken gem. Only then would the seven dwarf kingdoms obey Thorin's orders and send troops to rebuild the kingdom of Irube.
Going back to the Lonely Mountain is not difficult, the difficulty lies in the fact that there is still a monster in the Lonely Mountain today.
"Fire-breathing mouth, razor-like teeth and razor-sharp claws... Smaug, the last dragon in the world." The old dwarf Balin said of this insurmountable obstacle, his old face full of sadness.
Bofu wearing a dog-skin hat was outspoken, with a pipe in his mouth, and his tone was light: "What are you afraid of? Now we have brave warriors and mages here! Miss mages, you must have killed a dragon, right? How many have you killed? Only?"
"Cough, cough, cough!" Bella coughed. She pretended to be choked on the pie. It was too embarrassing. How should she answer this?
When everyone looked at her with expectant eyes, and she didn't know how to answer, the old dwarf Balin helped her out.
"Even if we go back to Lonely Mountain, we can't enter through the main gate. It is blocked. As far as I know, there is only a very secret side gate to enter Lonely Mountain, but only the king knows where the side gate is, and it needs a key.. ...God knows where the keys are left!"
Bella found the steps at once, and she took out a golden key.
"It's a magic key. Any locked door can be opened. Of course, it can only be used once." She took out the brass key she had found at an excavation site on the Sea of Galilee in Israel.
This key is definitely not the one lost by the dwarves, but it doesn't matter, it's nothing in the face of magic!
The master key can open any door, just to divert the embarrassing topic of killing the dragon before.
"But where is this door? Do you know, Thorin? Is this side door in an obvious place?" Fili, the nephew of Thorin and brother of the most handsome dwarf Kili, couldn't help but ask.
Finding a stone gate in a mountain sounds a bit difficult.
Their brothers are all dwarves born in the Blue Mountains, and they don't know much about Lonely Mountain.
All the dwarves looked at Thorin Oakenshield.
He reached out and took out a somewhat worn map from his pocket.
"I don't want to deceive everyone. To be honest, I don't know where the door is. My father only left me a map and didn't leave many clues."
He handed the map to Bella: "I need to use your knowledge to unlock the secrets of this map for me."
The surface of the map is yellowed, and the corners are somewhat worn, but the text is clear, indicating that Thorin is well preserved.
"This is Elvish. It seems that there is a secret passage that can directly enter the Lonely Mountain." Bella's level of Elvish is still very low, and she directly blessed herself with a language proficiency.
"There should be more information, you can take a closer look." Sorin looked at her expectantly.
and also? Bella picked up the map and looked back and forth. The text on this map was only a few lines on the left, and there was no text in the rest! Is there anything else you haven't found yet?
