Chapter 43: The Remains of a Giant
Ling Qi on the mountain road suddenly shook all over his body, as if he had been hammered by something, and even his strong body couldn't bear it. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Nitin and Farion, who were traveling with him, immediately noticed the change in him, but they just looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
This change doesn't seem like a bad thing, it's just a little too obvious.
Ling Qi a moment ago seemed to be disappointed that his favorite person could not see him off. Now he has become energetic again, as if he has swallowed a hundred Ten Perfect Tonic Pills raw!
"Your Excellency..."
Farion thought about it, but still didn't feel at ease and stepped forward to ask.
Just now, he clearly felt the ground tremble abnormally for a moment, and the source of the epicenter was Rivendell, who had just left. And when he asked Ling Qi if he wanted to turn back, the lord, who seemed to have a close relationship with the Elven King, coldly rejected his suggestion.
Putting it all together, Farrion felt that something must have happened.
"I'm fine, don't think about it!"
Ling Qi glanced at Farien coldly, the loyal subordinate could clearly see his lord smiling, but he was shocked by the chill in his eyes!
"It's... Yes!"
Farion felt the small and majestic dark power in the depths of his soul, and knew that there were some things that he didn't know yet.
Ling Qi nodded with satisfaction, secretly regretting that the Heart of the Mountain Range had been destroyed like this.
That could have been more useful, like slaying dragons or dealing Sauron with a fatal blow!
The power of the Heart of the Mountains is so pure that even evil can be tolerated, but their natural nature is also destined to use them against Sauron or dragons, and the effect will be far better than against elves.
However, Groffindelle was unexpectedly strong, even if the Ring of Qi was no longer on his body, his strength was still far beyond the ordinary heroic level, and the clone who had always been very obedient couldn't help but have the instinct to be greedy in the face of an active and abnormal soul. All of this forced him to destroy the Heart of the Mountains in advance to form the final energy blast on Groffindel, while suppressing the arrogance of the demon clone and its greedy nature!
A mountain heart in exchange for a complete High Elf soul is barely cost-effective, and the latter is more useful!
As for the trauma of the doppelganger, who cares?
A doppelganger is a doppelganger, and if the deity is strong enough, or devour it, or abandon it, a fool will give it a chance to get down!
Ling Qi urged the horse to speed up again, so as not to cause trouble to follow.
You can ride a horse on the mountain road, thanks to the map provided by King Elron, which marks a secret path that few people know about and can even gallop on a war horse!
Rivendell, the elven last refuge.
Faced with the grief of a ruined homeland, King Elon relied on his prestige to suppress the incident for the time being, and on the other hand, he sent three waves of messengers to the Dark Forest, Lothllolin, and Ling Qi, who had just left after him!
He didn't suspect Ling Qi at all, the evidence left at the scene was too obvious, the pure, bright, and majestic afterglow of vitality!
He was definitely no stranger to this kind of power, and in the heart of Valinor, there was a similar energy everywhere!
But why, why is the home of the elves being judged so much, what did they do wrong!
Elrond was puzzled, and immediately thought of Ling Qi, but he vetoed it again, and the news had not been leaked yet!
So, if it weren't for the judgment from Valinor, who would have such a pure power of light in Middle-earth?!
He suspects Gandalf, suspects any known wizards, and ends up locking onto a person's head...
"Saruman!"
King Ayron gritted his teeth and looked hideous!
On the other side, Ling Qi and his party passed through the highest pass very smoothly, but they encountered trouble when leaving the mountain range.
The route marked on the map of the Elf King has always been accurate and unimpeded before, but the second half is that the donkey's lips are not in the horse's mouth, and the terrain is too far away.
Faced with a cliff, the three of them looked at each other speechless, and Ling Qi had to give the order to abandon the horses and start looking for other trails down the mountain, which was not far from the other side of the Misty Mountain Range!
The two captains of the guard might also think that the Elven King's map was wrong, and only Ling Qi noticed the strangeness of the cliff.
When he drove the demon clone to find two "corpses" that had fallen to the ground and had turned into small mountain ranges nearby, he couldn't help but be surprised.
But when he found the giant's place with anticipation, he was left with a lifeless grotto and a large pile of strangely shaped stones...
"Perhaps, this will be the last elegy for the giants!"
Climbing down a cliff more than twenty meters high with his bare hands, Nitin and Farion were all panting and looking back at the way they came, the young man was still shocked by his feat, Farion looked at Ling Qi with admiration, but the powerful lord said such a sentence without a head.
"Nothing, don't care, when I talk nonsense. ”
Ling Qi smiled, afraid of wearing the robes that were said to be hand-sewn by the elves.
Of course, Nitin didn't care about Ling Qi's words, this kid was still dizzy, wondering how he had come all the way.
He was still horrified by Fang Cai's misstep, and if it weren't for Ling Qi's quick eyes, he would have become a pile of meat by now.
Farrion was thoughtful, but he still habitually bowed his head in approval.
Ling Qi bowed his head, and then strode towards the distance with two earth-colored entourages, and the next journey was a flat river!
Turning over the north-central part of the Misty Mountains, it was not far from the narrow dark forest. To say that you can see a large forest just after leaving the Misty Mountains is nonsense. On the contrary, it is possible, if the eyesight is good enough.
Because they had taken the "shortcut" provided by King Elon and pioneered by Ling Qi himself, the sky had just darkened when they left the Misty Mountains.
Ling Qi believed that if he didn't have that map, or if he didn't take the risk of copying a "shortcut", he would have to go around the misty mountain range that would not see the light of day, at least tomorrow at noon.
This still refers to a smooth situation, if you strayed into a tunnel and broke into the larger underground world of the Misty Mountains, I am afraid that whether you can get out alive or not will have to say two things.
Randomly found a rock fault that could shelter the wind, and the three of them spent the night.
The next morning, except for Nitin, who seemed to be infected with a cold, and after eating a few elven cakes, most of them were fine, and the other two were not unwell.
The taste of the elf biscuit is average, and it is certainly much stronger than the steamed bread cake, and it is full in very small portions, which is not available in the newly developed compressed biscuits in the land of honey. This kind of military ration seems to have other hidden effects, which are obvious to ordinary people, and it is no wonder that it has been rumored to be miraculous.
Ling Qi ate a few pieces, but didn't find any effect, and the taste was very average, so he simply put away the whole bag of biscuits.
His 2*2*2 storage space, which could still put a lot of miscellaneous items in the last reincarnation, was now full of all kinds of equipment and necessary medicine supplies, and it was difficult to stuff only a roast sheep, so it was impossible to satisfy his appetite.
Taking advantage of the not too hot sun, the three of them had nothing to say.
Ling Qi was never able to locate the specific location of Godzilla hiding in the Misty Mountain Range, and after leaving the mountain range, he couldn't even perceive it, so he had to dispel the idea of using it.
However, the communication of consciousness with Leo became clearer and clearer as the distance approached.
"Big~ My lord, you say, can we go back alive this time?"
Nitin didn't seem to be used to being silent, and quickly caught up with Ling Qi and tried to talk.
The howl of the wolf that has not disappeared since last night, the near-death from the cliff yesterday, the bizarre experience of the previous one, all these things, after the novelty and excitement have worn off, the rest will not be too wonderful.
Nitin was well aware of his task and had not rejected it before, because he was confident. Now, when the ignorance and blood of the young man are gone, what remains is the sorrow of facing mortal fate.
Farrion also heard his question and pursed his lips disdainfully.
If it weren't for the fact that he had a good sister, Farion wouldn't even bother to talk to a waste like Nitin, let alone call him a brother.
"Don't worry, we already had a plan, didn't we?"
Ling Qi was perfunctory, and Leo's latest report made him feel relieved, and his mood was a lot happier.
Bilbo was a fool, and if he hadn't exposed the existence of the One Ring, perhaps Thranduil would have despised him and the dwarves.
Now that the greatest power and greatest treasure are under his nose, Thranduil will let them slip away?
Of course, Thranduil probably never wanted to take the treasure or possess the Ring for himself, he just wanted to get what he deserved, and then seal the Ring forever!
"But, my lord, the plan..."
Nidin was about to speak, because Ling Qi had already shown obvious impatience, and he knew that this was the lord's dissatisfaction with his weakness, so he had to bow and retreat.
In fact, Nitin himself knows very well that this is a life-and-death mission. What a bullshit plan, which previously sounded seamless, once implemented is full of loopholes!
The plan didn't say that the dwarves who had been mingling with the humans in the land of honey would be separated, the plan didn't say that Ling Qi, who was strong enough to kill a tiger, would faint in the elves' shelter for three days, the plan didn't say that the chief administrator Alex, who had always been diligent and never overstepped, would try to usurp power, and even Lady Charles, who was rumored to be the mistress of the land of honey, was also complicit with outsiders!
Plans can't keep up with changes, and changes come too fast and too violently!
They had a whole team of people when they set out, and even a wolf cavalry force of more than 100 people could run away, and now...
Nitin didn't know what had happened to his lord, and Ling Qi suddenly looked sideways, and a colorful thrush suddenly stopped in front of him.
"It's... What is it?"
In the case of obvious anomalies, Nitin is extremely vigilant.
Ling Qi listened intently, and some kind of innate ability that had become clearer after devouring the entire soul of the High Elf was faintly working, and he could understand the chirping of birds.
"Lynch... I don't know what exactly he did to you... But I can feel... There's something benign going on in you... Uncontrollable changes. ”
"Lynch... I thought that fate would have a predetermined trajectory... At least there are traces to follow... Therefore, for any variable outside of fate... are extremely repulsive. ”
"Now... I just knew... I was wrong!"
"Lynch... I'm stuck in Dolgoto... Don't worry about me... Evil will never be able to triumph over good!"
"Not long ago, the wind from the North Shore brought me the shocking news that the One Ring has appeared!"
"Bilbo! That good hobbit has found the One Ring!
"Lynch, go to the Dark Forest, find him, and take him away!"
"Don't let anyone other than Bilbo touch the One Ring, including you!"
"Remember my words, and don't be tempted by power!"
The thrush flew away again, and at the end, the message Gandalf was about to convey had become clear, indicating that Ling Qi had begun to master unfamiliar abilities.
But how could Gandalf be sure that he would understand the Thrush, how he was trapped in Dolgodo, and how did he learn about the One Ring!
The sound of the wind?!
Ling Qi found himself underestimating certain abilities that he had been overlooking...
