Chapter 174 (1/2)
”That's really good news.”
”I've been waiting for this news for ten years.”
Morgan looked at Gandalf and smiled. Then he picked up the tall wooden glass in front of him and gulped it down.
These very low alcohol fruit wines are no different from drinking drinks for him now.
”Wait ten years?”
Hearing Morgan's words, Bilbo was surprised and said, ”Morgan, what equipment did you ask SOLIN to forge for you? It takes so long?”
”Aren't the dwarves good at forging?”
Morgan said, looking at Morgan and Gandalf.
”The dwarf's forging skills and abilities are really the best among the Middle Earth races at present...”
”Morgan, what did you ask SOLIN to forge for ten years?”
Gandalf said after a little meditation, and looked at Morgan opposite. ”I'm curious, too.”
Morgan didn't mention it in front of others. They didn't know it was normal.
Morgan picked up the bottle again and poured himself a full glass of fruit wine. Then he continued: ”I dived into the water and took a lot of things from the Dragon smog.”
”You've all eaten the meat of the dragon.”
”And the horns of the dragon, you've seen them.”
”There are also some scales picked from smog.”
”What I gave SOLIN was the horns and scales of the dragon.”
Morgan said and ate. He's eating more and more now.
Today, in order to get to Bilbo's house as soon as possible, he didn't eat anything except some dried meat early in the morning, just to make room for a big meal at Bilbo's house.
”Can those things really be used to forge armor and weapons?”
Morgan's voice fell, and Bilbo continued to wonder.
He had seen similar statements in adventure novels before.
But adventure novels are just novels, which are different from reality.
”Well, there is such a saying, but in fact, the materials on some monsters are far less hard than steel, so there is no point in forging them.”
Gandalf finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, knocked on the cigarette knocker and continued, ”but the dragons are different. Since ordinary arrows can't hurt them at all, it shows that the scales on those dragons are comparable to steel.”
”And Morgan has faced it directly. He must know better than us.”
Gandalf said, looking at Morgan and smiling.
This is true unless those materials are much harder or lighter than steel.
Otherwise, there will be no significance and value to forge.
Looking at their eyes, Morgan smiled, ”I just saw that some scales and horns were hard enough to give SOLIN them a try.”
”I had no hope at all. I almost forgot.”
”I didn't expect to be forged by SOLIN and them now.”
”Speaking of it, I'd like to see what the equipment forged from the scales and horns of the dragon looks like.”
Morgan said with a smile.
Then Frodo's voice came.
”Uncle Morgan, do you have any news to take the Raven back...”
Frodo went to the table, looked at Morgan and asked, ”he's almost full.”
Several people looked at Frodo's expression. It was obvious that he had a good time with the messenger Raven.
Morgan nodded and said, ”of course...”
”Forget it, I'll talk to the Raven.”
Morgan put down his knife and fork, wiped his mouth with his napkin, got up and looked at Frodo: ”where is it?”
”It's in the hall. I'm eating corn.”
When asked about the raven, Frodo immediately laughed.
He immediately walked to the hall.
Morgan followed, and his mind turned at a high speed.
Last year Gandalf was there when he interrogated Gulu in the woodland kingdom.
Know that Gulu escaped from the orcs of modo just before he was caught by Aragon.
At that time, modo should have known that the supreme ring was in Bilbo's hands.
According to the story in memory, the ring spirit team sent by Soren, the great demon of Moldova, to find the supreme ring is probably on the way to shire and will arrive soon.
I don't know if Gandalf will leave temporarily to verify the authenticity of the supreme ring.
Anyway, Morgan can't go at this time.
Frodo will be the next precept holder. He must follow each other to make a breakthrough in the progress of systematic exploration.
However, the weapons and equipment entrusted to Gu Shan SOLIN oak shield are ready.
I will escort Frodo next, but I will face all kinds of dangers. I must take the equipment.
But how can I get it without delaying my trip?
Soon, Morgan seemed to have something in mind.
In the hall, the black raven was still almost full and was picking corn grains from the dinner plate.
I wasn't afraid to see Morgan coming.
Morgan went to the Raven and held out his hand. The Raven naturally jumped on Morgan's arm.
Morgan quickly said the news he wanted to bring to Gushan in the Raven's ear.
The Raven immediately jumped onto the dinner plate, pecked the remaining corn grains quickly, then spread its wings, flew out of the hole at the bottom of the bag from the gate and quickly disappeared into the night sky.
Morgan and Frodo returned to the long table.
The four continued to eat and talk.
But it didn't last long.
Bilbo was too old to stay up and drink with Morgan and Gandalf as before.
When the night began to sink.
The four people in the hole at the bottom of the bag soon turned off their lights and went to bed.
The next morning.
When Morgan woke up, it was already bright outside.
Morgan slept well.
For months in a row.
No matter how disciplined he was, he overslept today.
When he got up, Bilbo and Gandalf Frodo all got up.
”Good morning, uncle Morgan...”
”Good morning, Frodo...”
Frodo said hello and hurried out with a big bag.
Today is Bilbo's 111th birthday celebration.
Frodo, as Bilbo's adopted son and heir, must be very busy.
When Morgan came to the kitchen after washing.
Bilbo is preparing breakfast.
Gandalf sat on the kitchen table in the middle of the kitchen, smoking and drinking tea leisurely.
Seeing Morgan's arrival, Bilbo immediately smiled and said, ”Morgan, sit down and breakfast will be ready soon.”
Morgan nodded and sat down at the table. After pouring himself fragrant black tea, he took out his oak pipe, filled it with cut tobacco and began to smoke.
The two puffed and puffed while they were still smoking a bag of cigarettes.
Bilbo brought three plates full of food.
Fried eggs, sausages, mushroom soup, and good white bread.
”Hoo...”
”Finally.”
Bilbo sat at the table, took a long breath and smiled.
Morgan put away his pipe, took a big sip of the hot soup, cut half of the fried egg into his mouth, chewed it and swallowed it, looked at Bilbo and asked, ”you'll go after the birthday celebration?”
”Are you sure?”
Hearing Morgan's words, Bilbo couldn't help but nod his head and say, ”I'm sure.”
Bilbo said, put down his knife and fork, looked at the two old friends in front of him and said, ”maybe it's because I'm old. I really want to see the mountain again.”
”Then find a quiet place and finish the rest of my writing.”
”What about Frodo? Are you going to tell him?”
At this time, Gandalf answered, took a gulp of the black tea at hand, and continued, ”he has begun to doubt you.”
”Of course...”
Bilbo nodded and immediately said, ”he's from the Baggins, not a stupid baby with a belly.”
”Frodo loves you very much...”
Gandalf continued to speak.
When the voice fell, bill was silent for a moment. After a while, he nodded and whispered, ”I know.”
”As long as I speak, he will go with me.”
”But in my opinion, he must still love shire home.”
”Love the trees, grass, streams and everything here...”
