Chapter 68: Peers

"The Way of the Dead! Why did you mention this place?"

Theodon shuddered, and Iomo stared at Aragorn, and Iowen's face suddenly turned very pale. Clearly, Aragorn's decision had a big impact on them.

"Yes, but I have a reason why I have to go. Aragon said firmly.

There was another awkward silence, and it was only at last that Siyodon spoke slowly, his voice like dry bark.

"If there is such a road," said Siyorton, "its entrance would be in Denjarlo, but no living person can lead to that place." ”

"What a pity, my friend Aragorn!" said Iomo, "though it was only a short conversation, I already regarded you as a dear friend, and I would have liked that we could gallop together on the battlefield, but if you are looking for the way of the dead, then we must separate...... Moreover, I am afraid that we will never have the opportunity to meet in the sun. ”

"The Way of the Dead!" Even the dwarf Jin Li, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, shuddered at this time: "This is a cursed name, can the living set foot on this path and leave safely?

The name is implicitly ominous. Legolas was also worried: "What can we find there?"

For a moment, all he heard in Aragorn's ears was worry and doubt, which forced him to shout loudly and suppress the words.

"I know your concerns, but I'll have to go that way anyway!" Aragon exclaimed, "There's no doubt it's a dark path, but rest assured, I won't die there." Remember my words, Iomo: even if Mordor's army stands in our way, we will meet on the battlefield. ”

"That's the path I'm ready to take. But I didn't do it willingly, because the crisis was urgent, and I had no choice. Therefore, Legolas, Kimli, both of you must also do it voluntarily, and there will be fears and challenges, and even worse on this path. ”

"I'm willing to go with you on the path of the dead, wherever it leads," Kim said.

"I do!" said Legolas, "I am not afraid of the dead. ”

"I'm ......" Frodo also tried to speak, but was stopped by Aragon waving his hand.

"You can't go, go back to the capital with your fellow hobbits with Rohan's cavalry, I can't let you go through any more dangers. ”

Seeing that Aragorn was so resolute, and that Jin Li and Legolas would go with them, the crowd stopped talking, and at this moment, Xue Leng, who had been sitting there without speaking, suddenly spoke, "I'll go with you." ”

The people around him suddenly cast surprised glances at Xue Leng, some surprised, some suspicious. But for these glances, Xue Leng just glanced at them coldly, and said, "What's the matter? Do you think I'm going to be holding back? Or am I not qualified enough?"

The people around them suddenly looked away...... What are you kidding, last night you killed 2,000 strong orcs with one shot, who dares to say that you are holding back and not qualified enough? Is it a long life? Even Jin Li, who can't afford to look down on women, has to admit that he can't do this kind of thing, and if it is a one-on-one heads-up, he will definitely be killed.

"Ahem...... Miss Xue Leng walked with us, and I couldn't ask for it. Seeing the scene a little embarrassing, Yaragon hurriedly came out to play a round: "The way of the dead is quite dangerous, and one more person is also one more strength." ”

[Vice-Captain, are you really going?] I think it's best to go with Rohan's army. 】

[Don't worry about me, no matter how I say it, I'm also a member of the reincarnation team, and my hands itch when I stay like this.] You just take the rest of the team with you, remember to look for the news of the death, metamorphosis, and judging from Aragorn's description, he was the one who took the Ring, and that guy would definitely not miss the battle of Minas Tirith. 】

[Understood, Vice Captain.] 】

After a short heart-to-heart exchange, Van Sen, who had been thinking for a long time in the eyes of everyone, finally spoke, and he said slowly: "Aragon, you are fighting alone, we need to gather Rohan's army to support Minas Tirith, all you can rely on is your own courage and the sword in your hand, and it is even very likely that you will die there." Even so, are you going to go?"

"I have to go. Aragorn nodded without hesitation, and everyone could clearly feel his determination.

"Then allow me to bless you and wish you a smooth journey. ”

With that, Van Sen stood up, and with his left hand pulled out a small silver cross from the collar of the priest's suit, while a thick book magically appeared on his right hand. Even with Aragorn's eyesight, he couldn't see where the man in front of him had come from, and for a moment, he had a new understanding of these two mysterious people from outside Middle-earth.

Van Sen stood in front of Aragon, with a cross in his left hand and a book in his right hand, only to see that the book in his hand was windless, turning page by page, fluttering in the air like a butterfly, and each page emitted a golden light. The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally his whole person was illuminated into gold......

And as the golden light grew brighter and stronger, countless pages suddenly surrounded Aragon, dyeing his whole body golden. Aragorn was surprised to find that the fatigue he had accumulated from the long journey had suddenly evaporated, and his body seemed to be full of strength......

[Could it be...... This guy named Fansen is also a wizard?just like Gandalf?]

As Aragorn pondered in surprise, Fansen had already withdrawn the seemingly thinner book in his hand and saluted Aragorn at the same time.

"Aragon, this is your choice, perhaps stepping into a place where others dare not go is the path you have chosen. The so-called man should firmly believe in his choice in this way...... May we meet again in Minas Tirith, Amen!"

At the last "Amen", the priest grinned open, revealing his unusually sharp-looking teeth, and his tone was slightly crazy. And Aragon suddenly felt that although the person in front of him was smiling, the message that the smile was trying to convey seemed to be a little different......
