American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 590: Rude Dwarf

As night fell, the hobbits, who had worked hard all day, returned to their cozy huts one after another, making the entire Hobbiton gradually become quiet.

At Bilbo's house in Bag End, the descendant of the Baggins family was preparing dinner for himself and his friends.

Yes, after an afternoon of chatting, Mike and Bilbo have become friends.

Even though Michael did not have a detailed understanding of the current Middle-earth, some of his insights still opened the eyes of Bilbo, who had never left the Shire.

After a pleasant afternoon, Bilbo seemed to have forgotten the "trouble" brought by the old wizard.

Standing in front of the stove, he even hummed an unknown song. Before long, a sumptuous dinner filled with "emotion" was ready.

"To be honest, I haven't had any guests here for a long time. Maybe we can have a drink..." After putting the food on the table, Bilbo smiled and said, "Then please wait a moment. I will go to the warehouse to get some red wine."

Optimism, hospitality and other virtues seem to be ingrained in every Hobbit.

Just as Bilbo was about to go to the warehouse, there was a knock on the door.

In the quiet evening, the knock on the door was unusually clear.

"Who could it be at this time? Could it be Gandalf..." Bilbo paused. There was no reason for him to turn away the guest, so he finally walked towards the door.

"sweet……"

The door was opened, and before Bilbo could prepare himself to face the old wizard again, a group of dwarves rushed in through the door and stumbled in front of the hobbit.

"Who are you? I don't seem to know you." Bilbo stared at the sloppy dwarves in front of him warily.

These dwarves were wearing cheap fur clothing and had strange beards on their faces. As they were in such a hurry to travel, they had no time to take care of themselves, making them look more like a group of refugees.

Of course, the premise is to ignore the fact that each of them holds a sophisticated weapon in his hand.

"Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Balin..." The dwarf with a white beard tidied up his appearance and introduced himself with a smile.

Then the dwarves behind him also gave their names one by one:

"My name is Groin..."

"I am Bofur..."

"...Dwalin...

Doli...Bombo..."

...Exactly ten dwarves in total.

It can be seen that in order to leave a good impression on the host here, they tried their best to be polite when introducing themselves.

Just combined with their image, it feels like peacekeeping no matter how you look at it.

"We found this place by following Gandalf's mark..." After the dwarves introduced themselves, Balin the Whitebeard continued, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Snitch, Bilbo Baggins?"

"I'm Bilbo, but not Mr. Snitch. And what is Gandalf's mark?" The dwarves brought so much information that Bilbo was confused for a moment.

"Great... We didn't come to the wrong place... We can finally rest..."

"I smell the aroma of food..."

“…I want to drink!!!”

When the dwarves heard Bilbo admit his identity, they cheered.

A friend of a friend is also a friend!
The dwarves considered themselves to be Gandalf's "friends", so Bilbo, who knew Gandalf, was naturally also their "friend".

So after cheering, the group of dwarves passed Bilbo and rushed towards the restaurant behind where the aroma of food was coming from without any hesitation.

"I'm sorry, my people are a little casual. But they are not bad people..." Relatively speaking, Whitebeard Balin is the most polite person among the Durin dwarves.

He stayed and explained to Bilbo: "Gandalf told us that you would be a qualified 'snitch', but I don't know why."

"And the mark you mentioned is right here. Because of it, we were able to find this place..." As he spoke, Balin opened the door completely and motioned Bilbo to look behind it.

There, the circular mark left by Gandalf was emitting a faint light in the night.

"Trouble has finally come..." Although he had a premonition, Bilbo's heart sank after seeing the mark.

When he looked back again, Balin had already gone to the restaurant, and was directing the dwarves in an orderly manner to get more food and drinks from the warehouse.

As for Mike, who was already in the restaurant, he was watching everything coldly like an outsider.

Perhaps because his aura was too strong, the dwarves did not bother to offend him.

"What is Gandalf doing? He turned my house into a refugee shelter..." Seeing that the dwarves had messed up his beloved house in a short time, Bilbo couldn't help but come to Mike and complain in a low voice.

"Who knows?" Mike shrugged, indicating that he didn't understand either.

You know, according to Gandalf, Bilbo's elders had a good relationship with the old wizard.

And so it turned out, that was what he did to Bilbo.

For every Hobbit, it is a disaster to have their cozy home "ruined" by outsiders.

But these dwarves of Durin had no idea what politeness was and almost emptied out all the food and wine that Bilbo had stored in the warehouse.

Carpets, kitchens, living rooms... wherever the dwarves went, everything was left in a mess.

It has to be said that this group of Durin dwarves who were driven out of Lonely Mountain and even the mines of Moria have a strong ability to adapt.

More than half an hour later, with the concerted efforts of the dwarves, all the food in Bilbo's warehouse was prepared and served on the table, and barrels of wine were also ready.

The restaurant was decorated for a party.

Just at this moment there was another knock on the door. Needless to say, it must be Gandalf who came this time.

Bilbo opened the door with a hint of resentment.

"Hello, I'm Kili (Fili). Nice to meet you~"

Two well-dressed dwarves were standing at the door. Unlike other dwarves, they had a natural nobility.

The smile on their faces makes them look very polite.

Then the two separated, revealing a dwarf behind them who exuded the aura of a "king".

"I am Thorin Oakenshield, grandson of Thor, King of the Dwarves of Durin." Thorin nodded slightly, then looked at Bilbo with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Hello, I'm Bilbo, Bilbo Baggins." As if forced by the other party's situation, Bilbo stammered and introduced himself, then took the initiative to make way.

"It seems like you guys are getting along well~" Just at this moment, a tall figure appeared at the door in the moonlight.

It was Gandalf.

He walked past Kili and Fili, came up to Thorin and Bilbo, and said, "Please allow me to solemnly introduce you again. This is Thorin Oakenshield, a descendant of the royal family of Durin the Dwarf. This trip to the Lonely Mountain is to help him regain his ancestral heritage..."

Then Gandalf pointed to Bilbo and said, "This is Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit with agile skills. He will be the 'Snitch' in our team."

"Also, that person over there is Mr. Mike, who possesses magical powers. He will also become a member of the Lonely Mountain Adventure Team."

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the old wizard introduced Mike, who was watching the fun on the side, to Thorin and the other dwarves.

"It's not so easy to share the wealth of the dwarves..." Thorin looked at Bilbo again, then at Michael beside him, his expression seemed dissatisfied.

However, he also knew that this mission was difficult, so he didn't say anything more.

Then, Thorin was surrounded by the dwarves and sat down at the first seat at the table.
