Chapter 323 Prophecy
Recently, the number of homeless people in Roadside Castle and Water City is very high, so high that there are even hundreds of homeless people living in these two places combined.
Of course, these vagrants are not here to hang out or relax. They are either employed as instructors or hired as lecturers. And it doesn't look like they are here for a short period of time. Judging from their attitude, they will not leave until they have sent off a few batches of students.
In addition, there are more and more vagrants on the front line, both young and old. They either provide advice to the young sprouts in the roadside forts, or join the mature blade troops to carry out charges or raids in the front.
Obviously, the homeless people heard some definite news and they were responding in their own way.
The most prominent among them is a guy who has become quite famous recently.
He was called "Strider" by the humans and hobbits of Bree, a nickname with a neutral meaning, neither good nor bad.
It is said that this guy often appears around Bree, acting mysteriously.
He was called "Big Step Man" because he was very tall (1.98 meters), had long legs, and took big steps, so he could cover a long distance in one step.
This kind of stature was so outstanding that not only the Hobbits but also the humans in the entire town, every one of them, would look up when talking to him.
"If he takes one step, I have to run several steps to catch up."
A hobbit said so.
"Keep an eye on him."
Saruman said this to his men.
But most of the time, when Aragorn didn't want to, those spies and followers couldn't see him, not even the corner of his clothes.
Instead, their origin and client were tracked down by the rangers.
"He has been doing this for more than a day or two."
Levi was not surprised when he heard the news brought by Aragorn.
The two of them were too lazy to say more about Saruman's behavior. This old guy was just suspicious.
But in a sense, Saruman can also be said to be a very cautious wizard.
He thought everyone was like him, wary of others, only trusting themselves, and preparing a lot of backup plans.
As a result, in the end, he was actually the one who had been preparing for a war, and he had accumulated enough troops to defeat a country that was not weak.
It’s a pity that such a good brain is not used in the right way.
Just like his senior brother Soren.
"I just came back from the crossing of the Isen River. There's nothing unusual over there, but it's heavily guarded as always, making it difficult to sneak in."
"How do you usually get in?" Aragorn looked at Levi with some curiosity.
Levi shrugged.
"Just walk in, and every time I go in someone opens the door for me."
"that's all?"
"that's all."
"So Saruman has a decent attitude."
"yes."
Levi nodded.
He did not say that there were times when Saruman would not open the door.
——The result was that he tore down the door, went in and beat me up.
Things always teach people quickly.
Saruman was also always studious.
"All right."
Aragorn was not surprised by Levi's answer. It seemed that at least on the surface, the white-robed wizard still respected his uncle very much.
but…
By the window, Aragorn looked up at the sky, at the 'Great Star of Hope' faintly visible in the dusk, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Restoration...
Levi also talked to him about Arnault's revival.
When Levi mentioned this matter, Aragorn knew that it was a sure thing. There was no external force hindering this matter. How far it would go next depended entirely on his own efforts and those of his people.
In this year an old Dunedain had a premonition and prophesied:
"When the King of Gondor returns, Arnor will be restored."
No more worries behind you, just look at what’s in front of you.
Aragorn and his people have continued to contribute to the many territories of the Free Cities for many years.
During this time, something happened in Charles.
In 2994, Frodo's father Drogo Baggins died at the age of 86.
There were many flowers in front of his grave. People said that he was decent and respectable, and except for the time when he almost drowned, he had never done anything to be criticized in his life.
After Drogo's death, his wife Primula was in low spirits for a long time and spent most of the year in grief.
Later she chose to return to her hometown and live with her family.
The original house was left to Frodo to live in alone. Frodo was 26 years old that year. Although he still retained the innocence of a Hobbit, he was no longer a child and understood many things.
When he lived alone, Frodo often went out to explore the places not revealed on the map of the Shire, wandering in the wilds, climbing mountains and looking at water.
This cured his sadness, but it also left him feeling lonely, a feeling that never diminished despite his frequent visits to his mother.
Then he thought of his uncle, Bilbo.
"It's unfortunate, Frodo, but everyone has to die one day. What we should do is to live well with the good wishes of our loved ones."
In Bag End, Hobbiton, Bilbo comforts his nephew.
"I know, uncle, I will."
"Good boy."
Bilbo patted Frodo on the shoulder and nodded, becoming more and more optimistic about this nephew who came to visit him frequently.
But when I thought about the death of my cousin, I began to feel more worried.
I am not young anymore.
Some things can no longer be delayed and must be acted upon immediately, otherwise they may never be completed until you die.
After entertaining Frodo, Bilbo sat down at the desk again, picked up a pen, looked at the blank pages and the palm-sized dragon scale sandwiched in the book, and fell into deep thought.
This is what he wanted to do, write a book, write his own story, write about the legends who have passed away and those who are still alive.
——As a participant in the story.
And, if possible, old Bilbo would like to make one more journey before he dies.
I can't expect to have exciting adventures like when I was young, mainly because my old arms and legs can't support me and I can easily fall apart.
"It's decided then."
A travel plan was finalized in my mind.
only…
Looking at his huge house and the whole Bag End, Bilbo couldn't help sighing.
The Sackville-Baggins family seems to be active again recently.
After being frightened by Levi, Otho and his wife behaved themselves for a long time, and no one in the family dared to cause trouble for Bilbo again.
However, as time went by, the family's little thoughts became active again.
The reason is that Bilbo still lives alone, he is really old, and has no heir. Once old Bilbo passes away, Bag End and Bilbo's property will naturally be inherited by their family.
Bilbo was helpless about this.
Who would have thought that their family would be so perseverant and could think about a hole at the bottom of a bag for more than 50 years.
"How to Place Bag End."
The matter of Bag End's ownership was like a thorn in Bilbo's heart, making it impossible for him to move.
Bilbo had been thinking about this for the last few years.
He wanted very much to leave here, to leave the Shire, to travel far away, to see the scenery outside again in his lifetime, but if he did that, Orso's family would definitely occupy Bag End the next day.
When Bilbo was around, they really didn't dare to go against him, but if Bilbo left on his own initiative, then it would be easy, and they would indeed be legal to inherit Bag End.
But old Bilbo didn't want to leave this place to Oso's family.
This family is so annoying. Good things have never happened to him and they always cause him trouble. When he went to Gushan, they spread rumors that he had died outside. It was very annoying.
Secretly, Bilbo made a decision.
"I will never leave anything for this annoying family."
