After Gandalf was full, the two of them drank the remaining blood wine in the cup, thus ending the conversation that although it didn't start happily, it ended satisfactorily.

Although what Yang Pan took out before was just a pack of barbecue, this pack weighed 7 or 8 kilograms. After all, the barbecue made by Yang Pan himself was very generous.

Although the old man Gandalf had a good appetite, it was impossible for him to eat so much in one meal, and the rest was conveniently put into his arms by the old man.

Standing up from the chair, Gandalf wiped the corners of his mouth, then picked up the wooden staff placed aside, and said to Yang Pan, "Thank you for the hospitality, now let me take you to meet the group of dwarves who will be traveling together.

.”

After Gandalf said this, he walked towards Bilbo's cave, and Yang Pan followed him when he saw this.

However, before entering the cave, Yang Pan still put his 'head' into the storage space. After all, he had already told Gandalf, so there was no need to hide some little secrets.

After entering the hobbit hole, Yang Pan felt a little regretful, regretting why he had to adjust his body to such a high height.

Originally, when entering the door, Yang Pan curled up and crawled in. After entering, although the space in the room was quite wide, the height was so high that he could only bend down.

After Gandalf said a few more words to Yang Pan, he went to attend the dinner party of the dwarves that was not over yet. Yang Pan found a seat in the house and sat down, closed his eyes and listened to the loud voices.

The dwarves were blowing to each other there, and the owner of the house, Bilbo, began to rest.

While there is still time, Yang Pan must seize the time to rest, otherwise when the journey to Gushan to fight the dragon officially begins, he may not have such leisurely rest time again.

But just as Yang Pan was sitting there with his eyes closed and ready to rest for a while, an old voice suddenly sounded from the side.

"Hello, Mr. Axe, may I excuse you?"

Yang Pan opened his eyes and looked at the visitor. It was Balin, an old dwarf with snow-white hair and beard. For some reason, he left the dwarves' banquet and came to find him.

Yang Pan sat up straight and said, "What do you want from me, Bahrain?"

The dwarf Balin said in surprise, "You actually know my name. What an honor."

Yang Pan glanced at the group of dwarves who were having a carnival over there, and said calmly, "I can hear the noise you are making over here very clearly."

After listening to Yang Pan's words, Balin, the old dwarf, nodded and said, "I see", but his expression remained as usual, without any embarrassment.

"Ting Feili and Qili said that you saved them from an evil guy, and I would like to express their gratitude to you on their behalf." As he spoke, Bahrain bowed to Yang Pan.

Yang Pan looked aside and didn't say anything. He was waiting for the other person's next words. He didn't believe that this old dwarf man came here specifically to thank him.

Although in Yang Pan's impression, dwarves are basically upright and stubborn, the saying that people become better with age is not groundless.

Sure enough, after bowing to Yang Pan, the old dwarf Balin continued, "I heard from Qili and Fili that you are a hateful and powerful warrior, and you also plan to join our team and participate in this expedition, and even...

Even Gandalf recommended you, I think..."

Looking at the hesitating old dwarf, Yang Pan said impatiently, "Whatever you want to ask, just say it."

"Okay, okay." The old dwarf Balin waved his hand and said, "Actually, I just want to know why you want to participate in our expedition. You must know that this journey is not peaceful."

Yang Pan frowned slightly and asked with some confusion, "That's what you want to ask? Didn't Gandalf tell you?"

"Gandalf has told us, but..." Balin spread his hands and said helplessly, "But the reason for killing Smaug is really unconvincing."

After listening to Bahrain's explanation, Yang Pan also felt a little helpless. These days, no one would believe the truth, but if you think about it, no normal person would go looking for a giant dragon to fight for his life.

Looking at Bahrain's eyes, Yang Pan knew that if he couldn't give him a satisfactory explanation, he might encounter some difficulties if he wanted to join this team.

After thinking about it for a while, Yang Pan could only choose to use a method he was not very willing to use and make up lies. Since people didn't believe the truth, he could only tell lies.

After organizing his words a little, Yang Pan said, "Okay, actually my real goal is the wealth in Elbor.

It is said that in Elbor, the greedy dragon Smaug guards endless treasures. As long as I can kill the dragon, I will gain great honor and endless wealth.

This is the reason why I participated in your expedition, are you satisfied?"

Looking at Yang Pan's indifferent expression and his tone as if he was telling a story, Bahrain really couldn't believe that what the other party said was the truth.

However, the reasons given by Yang Pan were almost the same as what Bahrain thought. This also made Bahrain wonder whether he should trust the human being in front of him.

But thinking about their scarce manpower and the old, weak, sick and disabled on their side, Bahrain sighed.

Forget it, no matter what the purpose of this human being is, it is always good to have one more person in the team heading to Gushan.

"Okay, I understand, sir, please rest assured, as long as you can reach the Lonely Mountain and enter Elbor, the wealth inside will definitely surprise you."

While talking about this, Bahrain also made a very exaggerated gesture.

"but…"

"But what?" Yang Pan asked.

"If you want to join, you still need to obtain the consent of our prince Thorin Oakenshield, but with Gandalf's recommendation, there should be no problem."

After the conversation ended, Yang Pan closed his eyes and continued to rest. Balin quickly left, and the dwarves' banquet also came to an end.

After a thrilling dwarf-style arrangement of the kitchen table, there was a sudden and urgent knock on the small green door of Bilbo's cave.

The long-awaited dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield finally appears.

However, when the owner of the cave, Bilbo, opened the door, what he saw was not a majestic dwarf prince, but a miserable dwarf with a sword in his hand and blood all over his body.

"Alert, there are enemies."

Following Thorin's shout, the dwarves who were still chatting in the house jumped up from their seats one by one like clockwork, picked up their weapons, and rushed out of the cave to throw away the ropes.

Lin became protective.

Gandalf, who was smoking his pipe, also threw away the pipe in his hand, picked up his staff and rushed out.

"The enemy, where is the enemy?"

"How many enemies are there?"

"There are three of them right over there. One is an assassin with a short sword, the other is a magician who controls green poisonous fire, and there is a zombie monster made of corpses."

"Evil guy!"

"Try the power of my hammer!"

"It's you! Those guys who attacked me!"

…

Yang Pan, who had been recuperating in the cave with his eyes closed, had already opened his eyes at this time. Listening to the noise coming from outside the cave, a light flashed in his eyes.

Take the initiative to attack Thorin Oakenshield, the one who comes should be the executor of space.

At this moment, Bilbo, the only one left in the cave besides Yang Pan, suddenly ran to Yang Pan in a panic, "Here, this big gentleman, don't you go out and have a look together?"

Yang Pan grinned at Bilbo, but before he could say anything, the other person was frightened by his ferocious face and took a few steps back, sitting down on the ground.

"Ha, ha, of course I want to go out and take a look. You can hide it yourself, Mr. Bilbo."

As he spoke, Yang Pan stood up from the floor, pulled out the double-edged battle ax from his waist, and walked out of the cave with his waist hunched over.

After walking out of Bilbo's cave, Yang Pan saw two of the enemies in Thorin Oakenshield's mouth at a glance.

One is an evil mage wearing a black robe, holding a pale skull staff in his right hand, and a cluster of miserable green flames burning in his left hand.

As for the other one, it was not a person at all, but a terrifying monster made up of dozens of corpses pierced and tied by a strange plant covered with thorns like vines.

The corpses that made up this monster included half-orcs and wargs, as well as humans and some domestic animals. Yang Pan even saw one or two corpses of elves and dwarves.

However, most of the corpses that made up this monster were rotten and looked very disgusting. However, the strange plants on the monster's body that tied all the corpses together seemed to be full of life.

Glancing at the two guys on the opposite side, Yang Pan thought about what the dwarf prince Thorin Oakenshield had shouted before, that there should be an assassin here, but he didn't know where that guy was hiding now.

Just as Yang Pan was scanning around for the location of the third enemy, a cold and thin female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Are you looking for me?"

Along with the sound, Yang Pan felt a pain in his back. A dark and sharp dagger had penetrated his simple leather jacket, which was not even equipped, and pierced his vest.

Almost at the moment he was attacked, Yang Pan had already swung the double-edged ax behind him.

Although Yang Pan's counterattack was very quick, he did not hit the enemy.

A figure wearing a black tights had already rolled away from Yang Pan almost the moment Yang Pan's battle ax came upon him.

However, although the man in black successfully attacked and dodged Yang Pan's counterattack, when her dagger penetrated Yang Pan's body, it was clamped by Yang Pan's strong and tight muscles, and even when she left

I couldn't even pull out the dagger.

Feeling the severe pain coming from his vest, a fierce light flashed in Yang Pan's eyes.

Because he was not wearing heavy steel armor, his defense dropped significantly. In addition, the female assassin's attack was very sharp. This backstab almost pierced his heart. If it weren't for the fact that he had a protective amulet that passively enhanced defense.
