Chapter 1058 I Want to Collect Money!

Looking at the "contract" in front of him, Liu Ruian's face was full of embarrassment.

"Cash payments shall not exceed one-sixteenth of gross profits, if any."

This sentence is quite reasonable just looking at the first half, the thirteen dwarves plus Gandalf, and Bilbo Baggins who couldn't resist the temptation of adventure after all, plus Liu Ruian's sixteen people just now.

In this life-threatening journey, it is indeed fair for sixteen people to share the possible wealth equally.

But adding the second half of the sentence will give a person a very embarrassing feeling, but this is not the end.

"We shall not be liable for the following damages permitted or caused."

"Including but not limited to body tearing, visceral removal, burning to ashes..."

Seeing that the "exemption" clause is obviously more than the contract with only one income clause, Liu Ruian wants to say that compared with this contract, all the insurance companies in the real world are models of fair trade!

But embarrassment is embarrassment, Liu Ruian pretended to hesitate for a moment, and then signed the contract under the expectant eyes of all the dwarves.

However, before signing the contract, Liu Ruian added a clause to the contract on the grounds that he contributed the most.

Once treasures are found during the journey, they will have the priority to choose.

For this, Gandalf and the others agreed without any hesitation.

After all, this journey is not really for fun. In their opinion, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a future without a bright future.

But with Liu Ruian, a powerful mage, joining in, not to mention the safety aspect, the comfort level will definitely be much better.

In this case, it was just a dispensable requirement. Not only would no one feel that they were losing money, but everyone including Thorin Oakenshield felt that they had made a profit!

It is different from Bilbo Baggins who left home in a hurry in the original plot and almost lost his home when he came back.

Before Liu Rui'an set off, he not only stored the goods that could not be taken away at Bilbo Baggins' home.

At the same time, he also informed the most prestigious elders in Hobbiton that his Bilbo Baggins was just going on a trip.

It can be one or two years soon, and it can be three to five years later. Therefore, it is normal not to come back for a long time, and there is no need to think that the two of them are dead, and then divide up the things at home.

Although Liu Ruian said this matter in a joking tone, the hobbits present wrote down the matter after laughing.

No way, before Liu Ruian left Bilbo Baggins' house, he cast several spells in front of everyone.

Even if these spells are only used to prevent dust, water, fire, corrosion, and theft, but out of awe of the mysterious power, no one dares to mess around, at least not in a short time.

After enjoying a sumptuous breakfast, Liu Ruian and his party left this paradise with the welcome of all the residents of Hobbiton.

It was a good start to the journey.

Blue sky, white clouds, sunshine, grass, fresh air, beautiful scenery, everything is so beautiful.

But not long after the group entered the forest, it began to rain in the sky.

Bilbo Baggins, who was completely unprepared, was in a mess. In fact, everyone, including Gandalf, was in a mess.

Of course not including Liu Rui'an.

A bit of magical aura bloomed above Liu Ruian's head before the rain fell, and the invisible power turned into a hemispherical shield to completely block the pleasant rainwater from outside.

Even the ordinary horse under Liu Ruian's seat also enjoyed the benefits of this spell.

"I said Mr. Long, can't you also cast such a spell on us?" Bilbo Baggins, who was soon drenched, said.

"Of course, but casting spells requires my strength." Liu Ruian shrugged and said with a smile:

"In the terms of the contract, such a service is not included, so I want to charge money."

"what?!"

Bilbo Baggins, who hadn't expected such an answer at all,

The expression is quite painful.

However, a few minutes later, there were a few dirty money bags in Liu Ruian's hands.

No way, Thorin Oakenshield and the others could only endure this ghostly weather when they didn't see someone enjoying themselves.

But now that there are more comfortable options, who can resist?

What's more, for everyone, as long as they can return to Erbol, are they afraid of having no money? !

Liu Ruian, who got the money bag, carefully took out the coins inside and counted them out.

After finding a few old coins for Bahrain to replace, he put these silver coins into his luxurious purse with satisfaction.

As for the original old money bags, Liu Ruian threw them back to their owners with a look of disgust.

It has to be said that Thorin Oakenshield and the others were heartbroken by the money spent, because someone was too dark.

But when you enjoy it, it feels like a word, worth it!

Looking at the transparent rainwater falling from the sky, it slid towards the surroundings just above his head.

Not only did the people on the horses save themselves the pain of being drenched in the rain, but they could also enjoy the strange scenery in front of them.

Moreover, although Liu Rui'an said that the magic was priceless, he slaughtered everyone, but the service he provided was very good.

Not to mention that the rainproof spell itself also has a certain defensive effect, which can avoid some accidents on the trees and in the sky.

For example, snakes on trees, poisonous insects flying in the air, etc.

At the same time, Liu Ruian used the excuse of buy one get one free, and cast a "clean up" spell on everyone who had been soaked before.

Not only did it make the originally wet clothes dry, but it even made the clothes on everyone's bodies a lot cleaner.

With Liu Ruian's spell, the whole trip was obviously easier and faster than before.

It just made the dwarves so depressed that the rain, which was falling more and more, stopped soon after leaving the forest.

Thorin Oakenshield and the others, who originally thought that choosing pay-per-view would save them some time, were quite depressed.

According to the obviously increased speed, it is said that everyone can walk more.

From Gandalf's point of view, it's time to rush to the buried valley and get supplies from the elves.

Unfortunately, due to the enmity between the Turin dwarves and the elves, Thorin Oakenshield not only distrusted the elves, but even became hostile to them.

In addition, Liu Ruian said that it is not impossible to get spells from a safe place, but a suitable environment can reduce one's mana consumption.

At the same time, if you consume too much of your own strength, once you encounter any sudden danger, it will obviously not be worth the loss.

For this answer, Gandalf and Thorin Oakenshield quite agree.

After all, this trip is basically either a mountain forest or some special places.

Coupled with the possibility of half-orcs, the risk factor is relatively high.

Instead of forcing a longer journey, it is better to find a safe place to take a good rest before going deep into the mountains. (To be continued.)
