Train to Another World.

Chapter 85 Dinner Party
Wang Shuyun was used to being invisible, so when Li Zhuoguang suddenly turned around and asked her, she was startled and mumbled, "I'll just stay here and wait for you guys as before."

Li Zhuoguang nodded: "Well, Xiaer is safe. As long as you don't leave here, there should be no problem."

Li Zhuoguang turned around and rummaged in his storage bag, took out a few gold bars and handed them to Wang Shuyun: "One more thing, I want to use these gold bars to buy your potion."

"What...what potion?"

"It's on your body, look for it."

Although Wang Shuyun was very confused, she still started searching according to Li Zhuoguang's instructions, and finally found a tube of medicine in her purse.

"What is this?" Wang Shuyun felt it looked familiar, and suddenly she remembered that she and Wei Changfeng had a painful experience when they were first captured by Lord Dragon God.

At that time, they were frightened by the weapons of those barbaric...foreign races, and ran to the side of Lord Dragon God and dared not leave. When they were starving to death, they found this thing on their bodies. When they opened the lid, they smelled no strange smell, so they drank it to relieve their hunger and thirst.

I didn't expect this thing to be so effective. Although it was only a small amount, it greatly relieved the hunger and thirst of the two people.

At that time, the two thought it was a gift from the Dragon God, but they didn't expect to see this thing again now.

Wei Changfeng and Qin Daniu also recognized this thing. Wei Changfeng was surprised and said, "This is..."

Li Zhuoguang did not hide it from them: "This is a tube of healing medicine, which can relieve most injuries. In some cases, it can be regarded as an extra life.

You will not be in danger in the Shire, so why not trade the potion with me for gold? We need it more than you do."

Wang Shuyun thought about it and decided to trade with Li Zhuoguang. She knew clearly that she could buy food from the dwarves here, and even if she encountered danger, it would be useless if she had an extra dose of medicine.

More importantly, Li Zhuoguang, the chief priest, was already at odds with her. If she continued to be hostile to him...

So Wang Shuyun happily handed the potion to Li Zhuoguang, but what she didn't know was that after three strengthenings, she already had considerable combat power. As long as she wore armor and held a sword, she could easily kill an orc soldier.

As long as you are brave enough, it is not impossible to fight Azog for three hundred rounds.

Moreover, most of the enemies in this mission are relatively weak, so now is the best time to join Li Zhuoguang and his team.

Unfortunately, as a lazy and timid daughter of a merchant, she never lifted heavy objects at home and always told the servants to do it, so she didn't know how strong she was now.

And given her personality, even if she knew, she would probably make the same choice. It can only be said that character determines destiny.

After leaving Wang Shuyun in the Shire, the other five set out along the East-West Road and soon arrived at Bree, which is adjacent to the Shire and is the westernmost human settlement in Middle-earth.

Here, you can finally buy a horse that can be ridden by humans. The physical energy consumed by traveling is negligible for most people, but who would refuse a means of transportation?
Because it was still early and Xiong Fa Cai brought a complete set of outdoor tools, they left Bree directly after buying horses. If they could not reach the settlement before dark, there would be no problem spending the night in the wild.

But soon after they left Bree, they heard the sound of chaotic horse hooves behind them, and it seemed that they were coming towards them.

Li Zhuoguang then remembered that since he had more and more gold in his hands, he was used to spending money directly with gold. Humans are not kind-hearted hobbits. The principle of not showing off wealth is applicable in every world.

As the people approached, everyone saw that the group chasing them from behind were wearing simple leather armor and holding low-quality weapons. They looked like low-level mercenaries.

Sure enough, when they got closer, they looked at Li Zhuoguang and Aliana with greedy eyes. It seemed that in addition to the factor of not showing off their wealth, they were also obsessed with lust.

Even when they saw this group of mercenaries surrounding them, everyone was not nervous. These people were just ordinary humans and posed no threat.

Li Zhuoguang directly took out his flying sword. This was the first time he tried to fly the sword against the enemy since he got it.

The red light circled the mercenaries' team, and the mercenaries fell off their horses one after another. "This magic item is really good." Aliana praised and jumped off the horse, quickly running to the mercenaries to check it out.

Then, she turned to Li Zhuoguang and said, "Next time when you kill someone, try to attack the exposed parts. This will not damage the protective gear or wear out the weapon."

After saying that, she began to peel off the leather armor on the mercenary's body. But as soon as she started, the leather armor was torn apart. She looked at the leather armor fragments in her hand in astonishment and said, "What kind of leather are these leather armors made of? They are not as strong as cloth armor."

She picked up another weapon, grasped the blade and bent it gently, and it broke with a sound.

Aliana stood up and shook her head. "The quality is too poor. I don't know how they dare to bring such garbage out to rob people."

Despite saying this, Ariana still patiently checked all the bodies, and finally returned to her horse with a few pieces of bacon and a bag of coins.

"Is it that important? These things are not worth much."

Aliana shook her head: "Anything that is conducive to survival is a precious treasure. We should cherish wealth."

Li Zhuoguang saw her serious face when she said this, and thought of the situation in her world, so he stopped trying to stop her. He thought of the elderly in his family, who had experienced a period of material scarcity, and even though they no longer had to worry about food and clothing, they still lived frugally.

When they passed the top of the Wind and Cloud, it was already night, so they decided to set up camp and rest. Because the night in Middle-earth was not peaceful, Xiong Facai simply took off his camouflage necklace and released his own breath.

The effect is indeed outstanding. Not only the nocturnal animals that go out to find food, but even mosquitoes have disappeared without a trace.

While everyone was eating bread and stew around the campfire, a dinner party was also taking place at Bilbo's Bag End.

Bilbo watched as the dwarves entered his house one by one and emptied out his food storage warehouse. But he was not panicked at all, his mood was quite stable, and he even had the leisure to light a pipe for himself.

Since receiving the gold, although he did not want to change his career to become a restaurant owner, after all, he had already accepted other people's meal money, so the kind-hearted Hobbit still counted his inventory.

Feeling that the food he had stored at home was not worthy of the gold, he went to the market in the afternoon and bought a lot of expensive food and fruit wine.

When Gandalf walked into Bag End, he saw Bilbo holding a barrel of fruit wine and putting it on the table. Bilbo also saw Gandalf: "Gandalf, you are here too? I thought only dwarves would come, but it doesn't matter, come to the table quickly."

Gandalf took off his hat, sat down at the table, and asked in confusion, "How did you know Thorin and the others would come?"

It was obviously his own bad taste, intending to play a trick on Bilbo, but he didn't expect that he seemed to have known what would happen.

Bilbo said matter-of-factly, "Earlier today, before I met you, I was given a piece of gold to entertain these dwarves. It was said that I should give them a dinner as a token of my trouble for their wasted journey."

Hearing Bilbo's words, all the dwarves stopped eating and looked at Bilbo in confusion. Only Thorin asked Gandalf in confusion: "Is it you, Gandalf? What do you mean by a wasted trip?"

Gandalf first asked Bilbo about the appearance of the man who paid for the dinner, and then said to Thorin with some distress: "It is not just Smaug we have to face this time."

Thorin stood up and said loudly: "This is the adventure we must take. Dwarves are never afraid of strong enemies."

The other dwarves also responded by banging on the table.

"Yes, I have never doubted it." Gandalf comforted him, but then he remembered the dangers brought to him by the people he had met before, and said helplessly: "Perhaps what we will face will be more difficult than Smaug."

Even though Thorin respected Gandalf, he felt that he was making a big deal out of nothing. There was no enemy more dangerous than Smaug here? It was impossible that Sauron would come too, right?
