Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 104 Bilbo's Visit
For Levi, there are only two most valuable things he can trade with the piglins.

One is an ender pearl, which can be used for teleportation, and the other is an enchanted book, but the probability of getting one is quite small, so it depends on luck.

Levi traded two sets of gold, and the enchanted book only appeared once, and it was still the useless Soul Speed ​​(which speeds up walking on soul sand).

Levi even wondered if these pig spirits did it on purpose.

Sometimes these guys do deserve a beating.

Although there may be occasional bad intentions, the transaction must continue.

Under the bombardment of gold ingots, the piglins took out several boxes of miscellaneous items.

The ender pearls also successfully replaced a row, with a total of more than 140, which can be regarded as the initial realization of the freedom of ender pearls.

After having enough ender pearls, the first thing Levi did was to combine them with blaze powder to make an eye of ender.

Back at the roadside fort, Levi threw the Eye of Ender into the sky.

The Eye of Ender flew towards the top of my head with particles floating in it, and then it was suspended in the air, turning left and right. After a moment, it exploded on the spot with a "pop!" and turned into powder.

Okay, now we know that there is no end-of-world portal in this world.

"grown ups."

Just as Levi was staring at the place where the Eye of Ender exploded and thinking, a resident hurried over.

"what happened?"

"There's a hobbit called Baggins outside the city who says he's your friend. Should we let him in?"

Levi cheered up.

"Of course. I'll be right there."

The residents looked at Levi's back, wanting to say something but stopping themselves, and finally chose to shut up.

It seems that our lord does not like to order people around. Every day, whether it is cooking or getting something, he basically does it himself and does not even bother to hire a servant.

It was obvious that as long as he was willing to speak up, a group of people would immediately rush to sign up.

Wow.

The city gate opens.

"Welcome, I'm glad to see you at last, Bilbo."

"Forgive me, Levi."

Bilbo, wearing a thick coat, looked helpless. As he walked towards the city, he said, "You'll never imagine what happened in my family. It's terrible."

"Did you get robbed?"

"It's even scarier than that!"

Bilbo said angrily, "You don't know, my cousins ​​- the Sackville-Baggins family, have been trying to take over Bag End for a long time. During our adventure, they announced that I was dead and even held a funeral for me!"

"When I got back, they were moving all my furniture out. There was nothing left. They even wanted to auction off the sword you gave me."

Levi frowned.

Although he knew that the Sackville family had always had conflicts with Bilbo and were thinking about his property every day.

But there are some special things that they cannot touch casually.

This family is somewhat impolite.

If I remember correctly, when Saruman had ideas about the Shire in the future, the first breakthrough was this family. They sold the news of the Shire to Saruman without hesitation in order to obtain a large sum of money. At the same time, they also sheltered the villains and spies from outside, causing the entire Shire to be in chaos and people suffered losses every day.

"I had a hard time getting them all out."

Bilbo continued:
"Ha, they pretended not to know me when I went back, as if I was just a hooligan who came to rob them."

"Fortunately, I have the thief contract document that Thorin left me, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to prove my identity."

call--

At this, Bilbo breathed a sigh of relief.

"But I'm glad we're all alive."

Bilbo smiled and said, "Remember, Levi, although it was embarrassing, I fainted when I first saw this contract document."

"Of course I remember. It took Gandalf a long time to calm you down."

Bilbo nodded. "I am glad I chose this journey."

"But speaking of it..."

Bilbo turned his head and looked left and right.

"Are those the residents here?"

"Yes, they all came to Wayside Castle recently. They originally lived in the Anduin Valley between the Misty Mountains and Mirkwood, but it has become increasingly dangerous there and is no longer habitable."

"I don't know if you have heard, but there used to be many Hobbits living there. Later they crossed the mountains to the west and established the Shire with the king's permission." Bilbo shook his head.

"No one in my family ever told me this, but now I know."

"By the way, who is the king you are talking about? I don't think I have ever heard of the Shire having a king."

"It was a kingdom that had been shattered."

Levi shook his head and said nothing more.

If we want to talk about this matter in detail, we have to ask Gandalf to come. He only knows the general idea.

Without asking any more questions, Bilbo just looked curiously at the people who were working or resting, then turned around and followed Levi into the castle.

"Levi, I brought you this."

As soon as he entered the castle, Bilbo carefully took off his backpack and placed it on the table.

"This is?"

"This is the most precious wine in my collection. It is very old. It is older than me."

As he spoke, Bilbo took out twelve bottles of beautiful red wine from his bag.

"The Sackvilles have been eyeing my family's fine wine, and I won't let them succeed."

"These are all for you, Levi. Believe me, it will definitely not disappoint you."

"Thank you, although I don't usually...well, never mind, it's okay, I will keep it well."

Hearing this, Bilbo nodded with satisfaction.

"But speaking of which, what did you want to see me about?"

Levi carefully put away the bottles of wine one by one, paused for a moment, then turned around and said to Bilbo who was a little confused:

"Bilbo, I know there's something special about you, right?"

Bilbo's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what you mean..."

"A ring. I know you wear it."

Bilbo hastily put his hand into his pocket, with a look of surprise on his face.

So I have been carrying it with me all the time? No, why should I carry it with me?
Bilbo really couldn't remember when and why he took this thing out.

Thinking of the conversation with Gandalf some time ago, Bilbo curled his lips and admitted directly:
"Yes, I do have a very unusual ring. You may not believe it, but I didn't even know it was in my pocket."

"Would you like to see it?"

As he said this, Bilbo was about to take out the ring and show it to Levi.

"No, no, no, I don't want to see it. Don't take it out, Bilbo."

Levi quickly stopped him.

"You know, I'm very interested in magical things, so I want to study the ring in your hand."

"Okay, if you need it, it's available to you."

After a little hesitation, Bilbo finally agreed.

"No, don't give it to me. It's better to have it in your hands. By the way, would you like a glass of milk?"

"Of course, I've actually been drinking milk these past few days, thank you."

Bilbo took the milk and drank it in one gulp.

“Very fresh.”

After making sure Bilbo had finished drinking the milk, Levi nodded and said, "Then let's get started. Don't worry, these are just some small experiments. I won't take your ring away."

"I understand."

Bilbo said seriously, "I will try my best to cooperate with you."

"only…"

There was a hesitation in Bilbo's face.

"only?"

"I don't mean to say anything bad about you, Levi. It may be because of some differences in customs, but it is actually very rude to keep turning your back to someone when talking here..."
