Chapter 319: The Supreme Ring
The golden dusk is like a young woman still charming, quietly walking into the night with the last trace of the sunset. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Wearing Iron Man's armor, Promise looked through the cold metal visor at the messy, dilapidated chaos in front of him. It is a village of dozens of houses of various sizes next to a calm-flowing river. The location that Promise appears in after entering the quest world is at the entrance of the village.
Originally, this was supposed to be the time when the smoke was curling and every family was preparing to light a fire for dinner. However, although the village that appeared in front of Xu Promise was also emitting thick smoke, it was clearly a flame that had been lit, not the villagers preparing dinner.
"The environment is normal, and no sources of bioelectric radiation have been found in the vicinity." The one who spoke was an artificial intelligence that the Red Queen copied with her own data and was specially used for the Iron Man armor to assist in the operation. The promise was very disgusting, and it was named the White Queen. The purpose is to assist the Iron Man armor according to the promised orders.
Promise unfastened his visor, and a strange smell of gunpowder smoke mixed with the smell of blood came straight to his nostrils. Frowning, he raised his hand to cover his nose and promised that he would take the initiative to step into the village without waiting for the ring that was exploring the world to introduce him.
Ruined buildings, a large number of corpses and all kinds of messy debris scattered everywhere. It looks like it's a local villager. The sparse roads were already in shambles, and the dilapidated houses that had been set on fire sent billowing smoke into the sky.
After promising to look around, he quickly put away the Iron Man armor he was wearing. Since there is no danger, you can't wear it all the time and waste batteries.
Before he could solve the technology of miniaturized energy conversion of room temperature nuclear fusion, he promised that he could only use batteries to drive this set of black technology armor on his body. And the energy consumed by the movement of this armor is simply enough to collapse the energetics experts of the modern world.
Putting the armor into the storage space, he half-crouched down and reached out to pick up a silver coin with a delicate pattern next to a corpse that had collapsed on the side of the road, and whose clothes were obviously much more luxurious.
This is a silver coin of exceptional workmanship, with strange patterns engraved on both the front and back. Wishing rubbed his finger over the coin, he could feel that the pattern on the coin was not mechanically polished, but more like it was carved by hand.
Coupled with the low, dilapidated houses all around, and the rough and tough clothes worn on the corpses, with many patches, they felt like inferior linen. Promise already has a preliminary judgment in his heart.
"This is probably not a world of technological civilization." Xu Promise's fingers casually turned and played with the silver coin, and he stood up and whispered to himself, "Look at these corpses, which are mostly yellow-haired, this place should be similar to the Western Middle Ages." It seems that this time the task should be easy. ”
There is indeed reason to think that this task will be easy. He wears Iron Man's armor, although it can only be used for a few dozen minutes. However, he also has Bumblebee as his helper, and can summon an almost endless army of Reaper to help in the battle.
If it is the Women's Federation or the perverted world of the Iron Man, it may not be enough for him to sweep away with his power at the moment. But in this technologically primitive and backward world, he can't think of anything else that threatens him. Unless you're in a terrifying mythical world. Otherwise, he wouldn't be too worried even if he had a vampire ancestor.
"Well, you're right." The voice of the ring sounded in the promise of the mind, but there was a hint of ridicule in the voice: "This is indeed a relatively primitive and backward world. The land you are in at this moment is called Middle-earth, and there is a powerful being here that borders on the gods. He used his power to create a One Ring that could control the remaining twenty rings of great power. The name of this demigod is Sauron. ”
“...... Your sister's. Promise raised his hand to cover his forehead.
After listening to the ring's words, he finally knew exactly where he was.
Middle-earth, Lord Sauron, One Ring. Such a striking feature has unmistakably told Promise that he is now in the Lord of the Rings world where all kinds of primary gods, secondary gods, and fallen gods run all over the ground!
It is true that this world does not have any strong scientific and technological capabilities, and it is very backward in all aspects. However, this world has gods, and they are powerful gods. Promise wasn't afraid to fight a powerful opponent right now, but he couldn't do anything about those powerful gods.
"What time is it?" After rubbing his head vigorously for a while, he promised to breathe a long sigh of relief.
He needs to figure out the time clue as soon as possible, after all, the time span of this world is too long, and he first needs to know which time period he is in.
Not only had he seen the movie about The Lord of the Rings, he had even read the original book. He knew that it was already the late stage of the world when the Lord of the Rings was destroyed in the movie, and the world was still relatively safe at that time. After all, the gods are no longer willing to come to Middle-earth.
"I've discovered that the powerful One Ring is moving in the direction of the Doomsday Mountains." The ring's voice responded briskly, "Your mission this time is to get the ring." Go for it, I'm optimistic about you. ”
"Wait a minute!" After listening to the task, Xu Promise hurriedly spoke, "The One Ring has the ability to corrupt people's hearts, are you sure I can get close?" ”
The name of the One Ring is more than just words.
It has a powerful ability to corrupt people's hearts and lure all people into darkness. He was not afraid of falling into some darkness, and he was not a good man himself. He was afraid that he would be lost in the Supreme Ring.
You must know that the allure of the Supreme Ring is too strong, not to mention that the powerful elves are afraid of it, and even Gandalf, who is also a sub-god, does not dare to approach it, for fear of being lost in his mind.
In this case, Promise does not think that his willpower can be stronger than that of Gandalf. If you get too close to the Lord of the Rings and lose your mind, it's really going to kill you.
"Whew!" The ring's words were full of unhappiness: "Just that broken thing, you dare to call yourself the One Ring?" It's scum in front of me! If nothing else, can it break through the time wall? Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with me. Go ahead, and if this mission is successfully completed, I can give you the option to obtain the power of the Ring. ”
"The power of the Ring?" Xu Promise raised his chin in surprise, "You mean stealth?" ”
"Stealth is because the previous holders themselves were not strong, so they couldn't show their true abilities." The ring replied loudly, "I just searched, and the structure of that Supreme Ring is very interesting, and it can double the holder's ability in all aspects. If you complete a mission, you can choose to forgo other mission reward options to get a reward of doubling your stealth and abilities. ”
"I see." Promise nodded abruptly.
He had watched many movies and books about the Lord of the Rings before, and he had always wondered in his heart what kind of powerful power the Lord of the Rings, which was feared and longed for by countless people. Isn't there anything else to do other than being able to control other rings? Such a statement is completely inconsistent with its great fame and the fact that so many people are chasing after it frantically.
Now after listening to the explanation of the ring, the promise finally understands.
The One Ring is indeed extremely powerful, the stealth ability is secondary, and the most important thing is that it can double the ability of the holder in all directions!
Previously, the Lord of the Rings had always been in the hands of the little monster Gollum and the extremely weak, half-human Hobbit. What if they doubled their abilities? At most, it's about the same as an ordinary human. However, if the One Ring was put in the hands of Sauron, who had the power of a sub-god, he would be twice as powerful.
The One Ring is like an amplifier of ability. The stronger the original strength, the stronger the power obtained from wearing it. To put it simply, the better the foundation, the more benefits you get.
The weak hobbit base is too weak, and even if it is doubled, you can't see anything. However, Sauron himself is a sub-god, and he doubles his strength, and he is almost invincible when the main gods don't ask about Middle-earth. Not to mention the ability to control other rings.
"Good!" Xu Promise pursed his lips and squeezed his fist hard, "This is indeed a good reward." Directly improving all abilities is exactly what I need right now. ”
At this time, Xu Xu made two breakthroughs in his physical potential through the T virus and gene repair solution, and his physical functions at this time even exceeded the upper limit of human theory. It's just that, after reaching this level of strength, the promise itself is like reaching the ceiling, and it is impossible to continue to climb upward.
Promise didn't even know what else he could do in this state to continue to improve his abilities.
Traditional training methods can no longer play any role, unless you can get the natural treasures in myths and stories, or cultivation methods with special effects. And before the ring said that the power of the ring could be rewarded to him, this was a powerful adventure.
Promise's ability at this time is already extremely powerful. His strength and physical strength surpass that of the transformed Hulk, and he also has great mental strength, nervous reflexes, and a strong metabolism that is immune to all diseases. Doubling the strength on this basis, that kind of improvement is definitely enough to drive him crazy.
He took another deep look at the burned village, and looked up at the dim night. Promise turned around and walked down the road towards the river. He needed to find people who knew when and where they were.
Although there are no horses or other means of transportation, he promised to take a bumblebee with him this time!
The roads here are very difficult to navigate, and the potholes are hardly any roads. Under normal circumstances, a car with a low chassis would not be able to drive on such a bad ground, but Bumblebee is after all a Transformer from the technologically advanced planet Cybertron, and when it is at full power, it is like speeding forward in this pure world without the slightest industrial pollution.
The snow-bright headlights reflected a long light in the night, and the promise of turning around along the river was enough to drive all night in the night. When the morning sun rises and the light covers the earth again. Promise stopped the bumblebee, and after getting out of the car, he looked at the horizon with a strange expression.
Large, dim black clouds covered half of the sky, and in the desolate and tall mountains, a huge pillar of light rose into the sky, illuminating the endless sky.
There, is the lair of the Demon Lord Sauron, Mordor! (To be continued.) )
