Chapter 17 - Bilbo Baggins

In the void, a vortex appeared, and Gray's figure emerged from it.

"Hahaha, I really crossed again" Gray was happy it this moment.

Just a couple of seconds before, he almost got killed by that evolved bear. When Gray was on the cave he already felt the pattern on his hand getting hot. Gray realized that he will cross again.

So he wanted to gamble, if he will cross before being caught by the bear.

In the last month, the pattern in Gray's hand becomes more and more complete, so he estimated that he will cross on any minute soon.

At the same time, Gray doesn't want his teammate to die, At least if he got killed before crossing, Mary, Allen, and ogi won't get killed.

This is not the first time Gray crossing, so he didn't panic and looked around. How to say it..., Blue sky, white clouds, green hills, the environment around him vas very beautiful.

Gray doesn't know where he is, so he simply moved forward along the way. After a few hours of walking, Gray felt hungry. But soon he saw smoke rising from the distance.

Gray directly moved toward the smoke location, but when he reaching, the scene he saw amazed him.

"This should be a village?" Gray looked at the village in front of him with a weird face. The normal village should be built by wood and bricks, but the one here is actually made in the hillside, other than the doors and the windows made my wood. All the houses are made of mud.

"Why these doors are small?" Gray felt weirder when he saw the short wooden doors.

Indeed, the doors of this village are relatively short, It is estimated to be about 1.5 to 1.6 meter, if an ordinary a.d.u.l.t wants to enter he has to bend down.

This village was so familiar for Gray, but where did he see it, he couldn't remember. Gray walked toward the nearest house. This house owner has a good test, a green door with a round brass knob, round windows, and a garden. This house gives a feeling of harmony.

The gate of the garden wasn't closed. Even if it's closed, the hight of the fence only reaches his knees, so it won't a problem for Gray to enter.

Gray came and rang the doorknob.

"Coming" Gray heard someone's voice, followed by the sound of footsteps.

The door opened, and a short man appeared in front of Gray. Gray looked at the man in front of him carefully. he has a mature face from the 20s to 30s. short hair, bare feet, and a pointed sharp ears. As for his height. he has the hight of ten yeas old child.

"Hello, sir, how could I help you?" The short man raised his head and looked at Gray with curiosity.

Gray thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm a passing Adventurer from a distant land, I was passing from here and felt a little hungry, I wonder if you could give me some food?"

"Adventurer?!!" When the short man heard Gray's words, his eyes suddenly brightened a lot and immediately led Gray to his house with an enthusiastic look on his face, and then he brought a lot of cheese, butter, bread, and preserves.

"Mr. Adventurer, you could eat as much as you want" The appearance of this enthusiastic man, made gray feel strange. However, Gray was thankful for the food.

"So what's your name, where is this? I traveled for a long time and lost my way..." Gray asked while eating.

"I'm Bilbo Baggins. You can just call me Bilbo. And this is Shire, the homeland of the hobbits" The little man said enthusiastically.

"The Hobbit!!!!!!!" When Gray heard Bilbo Baggin's name, he felt familiar, but when he heard Hobbit word, Gray directly realized which world he crossed.

Suddenly Gray becomes very excited, this world is like a treasure chest for Gray. Let's not say [THE ONE RING] Sauron ring, and many other powerful artifacts.

What Gray really wants to get is the genetic files of the Elfs. Gray knows that his C Disk capacity is limited by his life span. But if he was able to get the Elf genes, wouldn't this directly removing his upper C Disk limit?!

Gray didn't copy another gene's besides magneto's genes inside the X-man world, because he wanted to fix his upper C limit first, it the same time, he didn't know that he will cross back to the real world again. But now? Gray won't let such a chance slip away.

"Mr. Adventurer, What your name? Can you tell me about your adventure? where did you go, how many places did you visit?" Bilbo said, with a longing look on his face.

Looking at Bilbo's face, Gray smiled heartily. The protagonist Bilbo, Gray knows how much this little guy is longing for the outside world. In the movie, although he was dissatisfied with the behaviors of the 13 dwarves, he still followed them in the end.

Anyway, Gray was in a good mood now, so he didn't mind telling Bilbo about some story's he knows. Gray was a modern person, so he has many story's he could tell. and soon Bilbo was completely hooked by Gray's stories.

"Mr.Bilbo my stories may be exciting, but it's just a story in the end. Why don't you go out of Shire, out for your own adventure" Gray said to Bilbo.

"Me? Go outside? No, no, I can't go out" Although Bilbo very longing for the outside world, he still refused what Gray said.

After living in the Shire for too long. Bilbo doesn't have the courage to go for the outside world. After all, it's a strange world for a little Hobbit.

Seeing Bilbo refusing, Gray smiled and didn't say anything. When Gandalf appears, with the 13 dwarves, Bilbo will follow them in the end.

After finishing his meal, Gray wanted to leave and find a place to wait for Gandalf to appear. So he could find a chance to follow the dwarves. After all, he doesn't know where the elves live.

And only by following the dwarves, he will get Sauron ring [THE ONE RING]. Even though this ring won't recognize another master other than Sauron himself. But Gray sill want to get it.

Even if he couldn't control this ring now, he will find a way in the future. After knowing that he could cross multi-world randomly. Gray confidence in himself becomes much stronger than before.

"Don't leave" However, Bilbo still wants to listen to Gray's Stories. So he insisted that Gray stays at his house for a couple of days.

What could Gray say? He simply did not refuse. Gray doesn't have a place to stay anyway, so he could wait for Gandalf on Bilbo's house.

Night comes, Gray was laying on the bed that Bilbo prepared for him while thinking about the original plot of the movie. And how could he maximize his benefits from this world.

Soon snoring sound came from the room. Gray falls asleep...
