It can be said that apart from looking good, this alchemical staff has no other use.

But it was obvious that Tom liked the cane very much.

In addition, the ring was also one of Dui's gifts.

Dui cast a traceless extension spell on the hollow part of the ring. Since the original space was small, the limit of the expanded space was only the size of a small room.

Gandalf and the others also looked at the cane in Tom's hand in surprise. They knew it no earlier than Tom.

Although I know that when he was in Lórien, Dui always liked to go to the elf craftsmen.

But I didn’t expect that such a magical cane would be made.

Tom played for a while, then happily took a few people home.

"Wow!" Bilbo and Legolas opened their mouths slightly and looked at the house full of flowers, as if they had come to the flower fairy's greenhouse.

Gandalf also looked surprised.

"Tom, I haven't been to your place for a long time. I didn't expect you to change your style?"

"It's Doyle's work," said the pretty Goldberry, strolling from among the basins of water lilies, with a gentle smile. "He has made some decorations for our house with his magic, and Tom and I like them very much."

Jinmei was wearing a silver robe covered with crystal diamonds that looked like water droplets, and a gold belt around her waist.

She was as gentle as Willow River, and looked at everyone with a gleam in her eyes.

"Welcome, we haven't had any guests here since Duyle left last time."

Like a child who likes to show off in front of the people he likes, Tom handed the cane to Goldberry and said happily, "Goldberry, look at my new gift, a beautiful cane that can even bloom flowers!"

Goldberry looked at Tom with tender and loving eyes, and thanked Dewy, "Thank you for the gift for Tom. He hasn't been so happy for a long time."

"As long as Tom likes it." Dui was naturally happy that the gift he gave was liked by others.

Then he took out a hollow ring inlaid with a green gem and handed it to Goldberry.

"Ms. Goldberry, this is a gift for you. I hope you like it."

The ring matched Tom's ring. Goldberry was surprised for a moment, and then her eyes were filled with smiles that seemed to overflow with water.

"Oh, thank you, I like your gift very much." Jinmei took the gift and put it on her finger.

When Tom saw that Dui had given him the same ring, he immediately leaned over and said curiously, "Goldberry, come and see the gift inside the ring."

Goldberry used her other hand to touch the hollow part of the ring, and a golden crown suddenly appeared in her hand.

"It is a wreath of flowers from the maulong tree of Lórien, woven from the work of the Elven, and it never fades," explained Due.

Jinmei looked at the golden crown in her hand in amazement, carefully put it on her head, and said with a smile:

"Thank you for your gift, Doyle. This is the best gift I have ever received!"

"As long as you like it."

The three people behind watched Dewi's actions, and Gandalf whispered to Legolas and Bilbo beside him:

"Honestly, if Duir had been as attentive as he is now when he was in Lórien and Rivendell, he wouldn't have made no progress with Evenstar yet."

Legolas and Bilbo both nodded in agreement.

Fortunately, Dewi did not hear what Gandalf said, otherwise he would have said that Gandalf was disrespectful to his elders.

Not to mention that he is now only focused on improving his strength and has no time to think about unnecessary things.

And even if he had this intention, would he dare to show his courtesy in Lórien and Rivendell?

In Lórien, there were Celeborn and Galadriel, who treasured Arwen.

In Rivendell, he was protected by his father Elrond and his two brothers Elrohir and Elladan.

Are you being attentive to someone's granddaughter/daughter/sister because you are afraid that they can no longer hold the knife?

In Tom's living room,

Tom and Goldberry entertained four guests: Due, Gandalf, Bilbo and Legolas.

Everyone enjoyed a table full of delicious food.

Gandalf finally stated the purpose of his trip: "Tom, we are here with an extremely dangerous object. We are all affected by it. We want to entrust it to you for safekeeping until we can find a way to destroy it."

"What is it?" Tom asked curiously.

"Yes, yes..." Gandalf opened his mouth, but could not utter a word.

He had no choice but to turn to Dui and said, "You should speak first. I can't speak anyway."

Dewi did not resist. He was bound by the Fidelius Charm, and he was surprised that Gandalf could say so much.

So he said to Tom, "It's the One Ring, and we want you to keep it for us."

Dewy is the secret keeper. Once he tells the secret, Tom and Goldberry automatically become one of the people who know the secret. An invisible restraint instantly falls on them, restricting them from telling others.

However, given Tom's strength, Dui suspected that this confidentiality spell might not be able to restrict him.

Then Bilbo took out the treasure box containing the Lord of the Rings from his space bag and placed it on the table.

Dewi tapped the box with his wand, and the box opened automatically, revealing the One Ring inside.

"Let me see this precious ring!" Tom looked at the gold ring in the treasure box curiously, and suddenly reached out to take it.

Bilbo and Legolas were both horrified by his action.

Gandalf's hand holding the pipe tightened. Although he believed that the oldest Tom Bombadil could withstand the power of the ring, he was still a little worried.

Dui, on the other hand, was very calm and had full confidence in Tom.

When the ring was placed on his big brown hands, it seemed to suddenly grow a lot bigger and became a ring that fit him.

Tom jerked the ring up to his eyes and began to laugh.

What made Gandalf, Legolas and Bilbo even more nervous was that Tom actually inserted the ring into their little fingers.

Bilbo gasped and looked at Tom in shock.

Because Tom is not invisible!

It was as if the ring on his finger was just an ordinary ring.

Then Tom laughed again and tossed the ring up: it disappeared in a flash of light, and then reappeared like a magic trick.

Bilbo was a little worried and wondered if the item had been swapped.

As soon as Tom put the ring back into the box, he picked up the ring and put it on his finger under the worried eyes of Gandalf and the disapproving eyes of Due.

The moment he put it on, Bilbo suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Everyone's eyes widened and they searched Bilbo's chair carefully, trying to find him.

Only Tom was still looking at Bilbo's empty seat, his eyes twinkling with a fierce gleam. "Hey! Bilbo, Tom Bombadil is not so old that he can't see! Take off your gold ring, for your hands are more beautiful without it."

Bilbo seemed to be observing whether Tom could really see him, causing Tom's eyes to follow him.

Finally, he took off the ring again and revealed his true self.

Chapter 135 Entrusted Custody

This was the first time Bilbo put on the Ring in public.

When he took off the ring and reappeared, everyone realized that he had been sitting in his seat and had not left.

Gandalf looked at Bilbo with some concern.

Dewi also asked with concern: "Bilbo, are you okay?"

Mainly, they were worried that Bilbo would be affected by the Ring.

Bilbo shook his head with a clear look in his eyes, and pointed to his forehead. "Just now the ring did tempt me, and made me run away and hide with it," he said. "But immediately a coolness on my forehead calmed me down."

Dui and Gandalf looked at each other when they heard this. They guessed that it must be the blessing kiss on the forehead from Lady Galadriel that worked.

Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the two of them silently decided to keep Bilbo away from the Lord of the Rings in the future.

Although Galadriel's blessing can temporarily prevent the erosion of the ring, it is not always effective.

So Gandalf said to Tom: "Tom, you can see that none of us can avoid being affected by the power of the ring, so we came here this time to entrust you with the safekeeping of the ring. I wonder if you are willing?"

Hearing Gandalf's request, Tom patted his chest happily and said, "How could I refuse a friend's request? Old Tom promises to help you keep the ring safe!"

"Wait, Tom," Dui suddenly spoke up, still a little worried, "Tom, will accepting the ring have any impact on Ms. Goldberry?"

The others also became concerned when they heard this, after all, they didn't want Jinmei to get hurt.

Jinmei smiled brightly and shook her head gently, indicating that there was no need to worry.

Tom patted his chest confidently and said, "In Tom's territory, nothing can hurt my Goldenberry!"

As he said that, he picked up the ring and walked in front of the few people, "Come on, take it and try it!"

Due, Gandalf, and Legolas were startled by this sudden action.

The three men instinctively leaned back in fear, fearing that they would touch the ring.

Gandalf almost fell over with his chair.

Tom smiled happily as if he had completed a prank, and shook the ring in his hand with his mouth wide open.

"Come on, don't be afraid, take it and try it!"

Looking at the magic ring approaching them, the three of them didn't dare to get close for a moment.

The power of the ring is so terrifying that once you touch it with your hands, you will easily be corrupted by the ring and become its puppet.

No one dares to take the risk.

However, looking at Tom's encouraging eyes, Dui chose to believe him. After taking a deep breath, he reached out to take the ring.

Gandalf and Legolas both looked worried.

As soon as the ring fell into his hand, Dui finally exhaled.

He looked at the ring, feeling the cool temperature in his palm, his heart still pounding.

What made his eyes widen was that this dangerous magic ring now looked like an ordinary gold ring in his hand, and did not emit any bewitching or corrosive power.
