Chapter 12

The contract the dwarves gave Morgan was drawn up on an ad hoc basis.

Bilbo's contract was drawn up in advance because Gandalf said it at the beginning.

However, due to the addition of Morgan, the Commission for Bilbo has been modified to some extent.

The Commission originally promised to Bilbo was one fourteenth of the total income, but it was temporarily changed to one fifteenth.

Morgan's Commission, because the dwarves can't get more money temporarily.

So, like Bilbo, it becomes one fifteenth of the total income.

As for why the total number of the team is 16, but only 15 people participate in the profit sharing.

Morgan didn't know and didn't ask.

When Sorin oak shield solemnly handed over the provisional contract to Morgan.

After Morgan read it quickly, he simply signed his name at the last place.

Bilbo, on the contrary, read all the terms of the contract.

Hesitated at the last moment of signing.

For a hobbit who had never been too far from hobitun since he was born.

Leave your warm home, delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, and leisurely and comfortable bag bottom hole.

It really takes great courage to rashly take part in dangerous, hard and dirty adventures.

Finally, Bilbo shook his head and went back to his room.

At this time, it was not only Morgan who saw that Bilbo had no intention of taking risks.

Gandalf also saw it.

So as soon as Bilbo left with his front foot, Gandalf followed him with his back foot.

The night was now dark.

The dwarves who had been noisy all day also began to yawn.

I have to get up early tomorrow morning.

Bilbo's bag bottom hole is too small, but there is no extra bed.

The dwarves had to make their own beds or find their own way to sleep.

Fortunately, it's still summer. It's hot and it doesn't matter to sleep on the ground.

Morgan sat on the bench, lying on the table, and slept all night.

The next morning.

Morgan woke up and saw a line of dwarves ready to go.

After a simple wash, Morgan led the dwarfs to prepare a pony with stronger endurance and load for the trip.

The horses of him and Gandalf yesterday have been disposed of.

Morgan led his horse to Gandalf, who was looking at the rising sun with a cigarette pole in his mouth, and asked, "won't Bilbo go?"

"Why, do you think Bilbo doesn't want to go?"

Gandalf asked, turning his head and looking at Morgan.

"Well... That's not true."

"I just think it takes great courage for an ordinary person to leave everything he is now and take risks with us."

”Of course, I trust you more, Gandalf! "

Looking at Gandalf's thinking eyes, Morgan patted Gandalf on the shoulder and smiled.

Bilbo hasn't got up yet.

Sorin oak shield was not ready to wait.

The dwarves cleaned up everything that had been messed up in the hole at the bottom of the bag yesterday.

The party left Bilbo's house on ponies.

Of course, the contract given yesterday remains.

Bilbo can catch up with everyone if he wants to and if Bilbo doesn't wake up too late.

The late summer sun is not dazzling.

Walking on the tall tree lined path.

A line of dwarves chatted and talked to Bilbo.

Soon, the gamble about whether the bill Expo would catch up was played again.

Morgan really saw the power of these dwarfs: they always seem to have fun.

The dwarf Beaufort, who loves wearing leather hats, first said, "I bet Mr. Baggins won't follow up, because he doesn't dare. Who of you dares to bet with me?"

Philip, a young dwarf with a golden pigtail, immediately cried out, "Hey, everyone knows that Mr. Baggins won't come. It's unfair of you!"

Immediately, the dwarf followed and said, "yes, yes..."

The dwarf Qili also answered, "bofo, if you want to bet that Mr. Baggins will come, I'll bet with you."

Just then, Morgan suddenly opened his mouth and said with a smile, "I bet Baggins will catch up. Who of you dares to bet with me?"

If you don't know the plot, judging from Bilbo's performance yesterday and his failure to get up early this morning, Morgan will never take this remark, because the possibility is too small.

But now, why not make money and brush Gandalf's favor.

Sure enough, as soon as Morgan spoke, Gandalf looked over with a smile.

He thought Morgan did it all because he believed in him and took care of his face.

You know, even if he is himself now, Bilbo is not confident whether he can catch up.

What's more, the dwarves laughed at Bilbo's cowardice. Some of them were beating Gandalf's face, although the dwarves were noisy and didn't necessarily mean so.

But he fully recommended Bilbo yesterday.

"Like Morgan, count me in..."

Gandalf knocked on the cigarette rod on his shoes and said happily.

The voice fell, and the two voices immediately shouted one after another.

"Morgan's bet I took..."

"Gandalf's, I took it..."

Qili and bofo quickly opened their mouths and made several other dwarves who wanted to bet slow down.

"Count me in. I guess Mr. Baggins may catch up. We might as well give him some trust."

At this time, white beard Bahrain opened his mouth and made everyone stunned.

The dwarf groin reacted the fastest and hurriedly said, "I took Bahrain's bet!"

At this time, the young dwarf Philip was ready to speak.

"Philip, you are too slow, ha ha..."

Just when the expedition team made fun of Bilbo's bet.

In the hole at the bottom of the bag.

Bilbo just woke up from his sleep.

Get up and see that the house is empty and everything is neat, clean and intact as new.

Bilbo even thought that everything last night was a dream unless the food in the food storage room was consumed.

Looking at the empty room and remembering the bustle of yesterday, Bilbo suddenly had an inexplicable loss in his heart.

Soon he saw the contract on the table that he refused to sign yesterday.

At this time, Bilbo suddenly remembered Gandalf's words yesterday: "Bilbo, your mother, your grandfather, your great grandfather, your great great grandfather, have never been ordinary..."

"You are also from the tuk family. Do you plan to stay in this small home all your life?"

Gandalf's words seemed to be still in his ears.

Bilbo suddenly had an unspeakable impulse in his heart: "yes, I don't want to, I don't want to live like this all my life, I don't want to be ordinary!"

Bilbo immediately found a pen and signed his name on the contract.

Then he turned out his package, put on some clothes suitable for change, rushed out of the hole at the bottom of the bag and rushed to the distance.

In half an hour.

Carrying a backpack that could not be tied even at the mouth of the bag, Bilbo finally saw the figure of the expedition team in the woods that were about to leave hobitun.

Bilbo waved the contract in his hand and rushed up happily.

The story begins here.
