"I think you are simply not afraid of heaven and earth, and dare to make a fire and cook while you are being hunted down! Zhao Mian looked at the three hobbits in front of him who were a little shrunken angrily, but the holy light in his hand did not stop at all, and continued to treat Frodo, who had lost consciousness, "If we didn't happen to see the fire you started, and the screams of those ring spirits were too harsh, I'm afraid you would all have to die here today!"
"Don't worry about these things yet!" Seeing that the freewalkers who had already moved away from the ring spirits quickly ran to Zhao Mian's side, put their swords aside and asked, "Can you cure it?"
"There is no problem with the injuries on his body, but there is some kind of power attached to the sword, and I have tried my best to get rid of it, but his soul is still gradually moving towards the world of the dead. Zhao Mian stopped the holy light that kept entering his hand, he took off Frodo's clothes and looked at it, and said, "You see, your injuries on his body have healed, but the whole person is constantly moving towards undeadness, I have tried to reverse this process, or stop it, but with little success - I still know too little about this power." But if there is a stable environment, I can try, but we are still on the run!"
"Rivendell!" said Freelander exclaimed, "We're going to Rivendell! There are elves there, and they're able to deal with this kind of injury—soul-on!"
"But it's still six days away, and he won't be able to hold on!" cried out the fatter of the three hobbits on the side, as if he were called Sam, the very honest-looking hobbit now with a face that looked like he was about to cry.
"We've got horses, we can ride them!" said another hobbit, presumably called Pitzin.
"But we only have one horse, Pippin!" said the last one, Merry, who was much smarter than the other hobbits, and saw the problem at a glance, "and we now have six of them! Six of them! You know, if one of us were to take Frodo to Rivendell on horseback, there would be four of us to go on foot! moreover, the only one we had here who knew the way was Freewalker, and if he took Frodo with him, we would have to go around here. The rings are still around, haven't you heard their voices without stopping?!!!"
"Here, take a hand. Zhao Mian didn't hesitate much, after doing some follow-up checks for Frodo, he pulled Frodo's arm and put it on his back, "Three days! I did some delayed work, but at most it could only be until the evening of the fourth day, if we can't get to that Rivendell before the evening of the fourth day, then everything is empty - not to mention that we actually don't have that much time to squander! So, we probably can't stop and rest for the next three days!" All the food is eaten in action and must not be stopped!"
"Hey, wait, three days without rest?!!!" Pippin cried out, with a look of disbelief on his face, "how is that possible? ”
"That's the only way, Pipin. Merry patted Pippin on the shoulder and said with a serious face, "We don't have that many options, if we want to save Frodo, this is the safest way!"
"But if we don't stop to rest, I'm afraid that not only us, but even the horses will not be able to withstand such a long gallop. Freewalker helped Frodo onto Zhao Mian's back, and he said with a frown, "Three days is not a short time, it is enough for us to lose the ability to resist on the way to run, if the Ring Spirit attacks us on the way, I'm afraid we will have to die with Frodo!"
"Well, there's another way!" Zhao Mian lifted Frodo on his back with his hand, and he turned to look at Freewalker, "We don't just have one horse, but two! I still have a horse." ”
Without stopping, as he walked up the stairs of the observatory, Freelander tilted his head and asked, "Do you have a horse? Where is it? I haven't seen you ride a horse, and I haven't seen you feed it in the past few days." ”
"It's always with me - even though you can't see it. Zhao Mian followed behind Freelander, taking care not to let Frodo suffer additional damage in his sleep, while walking down quickly, behind him, three hobbits were following them, "I'll summon it when I get to the bottom, you'll see!"
"A faithful horse, leaping with the light. Zhao Mian clasped his hands together, a little bit of brilliance gathered in his hands, and soon a door made of pure light appeared in front of everyone, "Boom~~~!" A war horse neighed, from the door of the light, a war horse in heavy armor ran out, it stopped in front of Zhao Mian, and affectionately touched Zhao Mian's shoulder with his nose, "This is my war horse, it has been with me for a long time, I named it Mu, which means guardian - As you can see, it is no longer a living thing, and I have freed it from filth, and it has become my most faithful companion. ”
"This ...... It's incredible......" Somewhat incredulous, Freelander reached out and stroked the sharp horns of the armor on his horse's head, the cold touch made him understand that none of this was an illusion, "What a beautiful creature......
"My plan is simple. Zhao Mian interrupted Freelander's exclamation and drew his gaze, "You ride my old fellow to that Rivendell, it's not the same as those ordinary horses, it's the equivalent of a kind of Holy Spirit class, it won't get tired in just three days, and it's definitely much faster than your horse - I promise it's going to be beyond the reach of those ringing spirits!"
"The old horse knows the way, and it will find you. Freelander nodded and said, proving that he understood the plan.
"Then it will take us to Rivendell. Zhao Mian shrugged, he took a rein from the back of the war horse and handed it to Freelander, "Of course, if you don't bother, it will take you to me." ”
"So be it. The Freelander took the reins from Zhao Mian's hand, turned over and got on the horse, Zhao Mian turned around, picked up Frodo, who was unconscious on the stone next to him, and put it in front of the Freelander, the Freelander held the reins in his hand and did not use force, but the war horse seemed to know what he wanted to do, and naturally turned around, so that he could see the remaining four people, "I'll leave it to you here." ”
"Don't worry, after you take Frodo away, there will be no more threats to us, those rings are going to hunt down Frodo, and our side will be much safer. Zhao Mian nodded, took the Freewalker's long sword from Sam on the side, and handed it to him, "Remember, don't stop, keep running forward, it will surprise you!"
"My Bill is in trouble with you. Freewalker said, holding the reins with one hand and holding Frodo's body with the other, nodding to Zhao Mian, and then the horse neighed, like a golden streamer in the night, and soon disappeared into the dark night—along with the distant roar of the rings, and they also chased after them.
"Well, we can't be idle. Zhao Mian looked back at the remaining three hobbits, "As long as there are no accidents, Frodo should be able to receive good treatment." So our journey will continue as well, and according to the arrangement of the Freewalker, our next stop is Oster, Ostergulus. Let's move on!"
"Of course, I don't know the way. Zhao Mian said after walking a few kilometers with a few people.
