Chapter 601: Spiritual Qi Exhaustion
When the trio found the giant eagle hovering in the sky, the other party had already spotted them, and the giant eagle dived in the sky and pounced directly on the three of them.
If someone were here, they would definitely think that the eagle was trying to prey on them, and throw a few fireballs without saying a word.
But whether it was Legolas or Aragorn, they all knew that the Giant Eagle clan was actually very peaceful, and they would not choose intelligent creatures even if they pounced on their prey, so they both stood firmly in place, not moving.
On the contrary, the dwarf Golden Thunderbolt looked very nervous, holding the battle axe in his hand tightly, and stared at the giant eagle that landed from the sky with wide eyes.
There's no way, a wingspan of more than 20 meters, standing up to a three-story monster descending in front of you, even if you know that it has no malicious intent, but people who can hold on and not be nervous, it's really hard to meet.
"Humans? Genie? And the dwarves? โ
The giant eagle landed in front of the three of them with a thud, and said strangely with its neck crooked.
The Manwei Eagles actually speak the lingua franca, but they prefer to communicate by tweeting more often than not.
After all, Eagle is their native language, and learning the lingua franca is only to facilitate communication with other races.
"Dear Lord Condor, I am Legolas, the son of Thrandui in the Woodland Kingdom, this is Aragorn, a descendant of Isidor, and as for this dwarf, his name is Golden Bolt, a descendant of the immortal Turin."
Legolas, who had long ears, immediately explained the identities of the three to the Giant Eagle.
Although it seems silly to add whose son or whose descendant every time you introduce yourself, there is no way, this is popular in Middle-earth these days!
If you don't go out in the name of your ancestors, it's like making a career on your own, it's just a fool's dream.
It is an eternal truth that the descendants of the nobility will always be nobles, and the descendants of serfs will be serfs for generations.
Hearing the identity of the three of them, the giant eagle who originally held his head high nodded slightly, the identity of these three guys is not low, if the wind king Guan He is here, then naturally he doesn't need to pay attention to these three guys, but it is just an ordinary member of the giant eagle clan, and he doesn't dare to hold it up at will.
"I'm Fergus of the Giant Eagle Clan, have you seen any strange movement nearby?" The eagle turned its head and asked the trio on the ground.
"Lord Fergus, are you talking about strange movements, are you strong orcs? They took two of our friends. The trio's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.
It is true that they have been chasing after the strong orcs day and night, but days have passed, and God knows if the strong orcs will kill or eat the captives?
"Orcs? No! Fergus quickly shook his head, although the strong orcs are much stronger than the half-orcs, but they are fundamentally different from the Condor clan.
Even if there were indeed a lot of strong orc corpses next to the Condor, Fergus didn't think that his companion would be killed by a group of inferior guys.
The trio looked at each other, not knowing what the hell this condor meant.
But after a few moments, the three of them understood.
"What is this?"
Looking at the dead Condor corpse in front of them, Legolas and Aragorn all had surprised expressions on their faces.
"Oh my God, who can kill this kind of guy, it's a siege crossbow?" Jin Li shouted at the top of his voice, such a big eagle looks like an evil dragon, if you want to kill this kind of sky overlord, ordinary bows and arrows are useless.
Even the elven clan, who claim to be in the middle of a hundred shots, will be dwarfed when facing the Divine Eagle.
After all, the Feathers of the Condor are no less sharp than steel, and even Legolas does not dare to say that he can shoot down the Condor in the sky!
"No, it's not a siege crossbow, it's been hit by a strange spell, a lot like Burst Flame or Meteor Fire!" Legolas took a closer look at the Condor's corpse, then pointed to several large holes in the corpse's abdomen.
"Well, may it rest in peace!" Looking at the few big holes that were enough to stuff himself into, Jin Pi hurriedly bowed his head and prayed.
In fact, he just wanted to tell a joke, but when he thought that there was a giant eagle staring at him from behind, it would not be fun if he was caught by the other party, so he could only resist the urge to complain.
"What about these orcs? Why did they die here? Aragorn asked with a little confusion as he looked at the corpses of the strong orcs scattered around him.
"They weren't killed by the giant eagle, they were killed by a human, or rather a human-like thing!" Legolas is worthy of being a master-level tracking expert, and he can restore the scene in minutes.
"The guy who killed the giant eagle just started to appear here, and then he took a few steps forward and grabbed a strong orc!"
Legolas began to imitate someone's movements, took a position in the corresponding position, and held out his hand.
"He directly crushed the weapon in the hands of this strong orc, and by the way, he also crushed this guy's head." The elven prince said, pointing to the shattered steel knives and rotten corpses on the ground.
"Impossible!" Hearing him say this, Kim immediately screamed.
The weapons of these strong orcs are all made of steel, and the physical fitness of strong orcs is much stronger than that of humans, if you use a sledgehammer, you can hammer their heads, but if you say that people use their hands to crush them directly?
Just kidding!
"No, Legolas is right!" Aragorn crouched down, studied the orc's corpse carefully, and then lifted its head.
"This strange wound has no explanation at all except for the fact that it is directly crushed by a person's fingers."
"This person should be about two meters tall, weigh nearly two hundred and seventy pounds, be strong and powerful, and be fast." Legolas quickly surmised based on the remaining traces on the ground.
"This is a big strong guy!" When Jin Pi heard these data, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, for him, who was only one meter tall, the other party's data was too much.
"The other party first killed this Manwei Condor with magic, and then killed this group of strong orcs, what does he mean?" Aragorn asked, frowning.
The Manway Condor has always been on the side of justice, while the Orcs are on the side of chaos, and it stands to reason that no matter who they are, they will not kill both clans at the same time.
"After the other party killed these strong orcs, he should have been on the mount!"
Legolas followed someone's trail all the way to the vicinity of the pass before he said in confusion.
"Strange, what kind of mount is this, why have I never heard of it?"
There are several clear footprints on the ground, which look similar to human footprints in shape.
It's just that this footprint is much larger than a human footprint, and by the way, you can see that there are only four toes on this strange footprint!
"I think instead of focusing on what kind of mount this is, I should think about where this guy is going!"
Jin Pi pointed in the direction where the footprints disappeared and said with some sadness.
"That's? Isinger? Saruman? โ
Hearing him say this, Aragorn and Legolas were shocked and thought of the crux of the matter!
The white-robed Saruman, the most powerful wizard in the former Middle-earth, is also the most respected wizard.
He was supposed to be the friendliest friend of the tribes of Middle-earth, and in the past, no matter what difficulties and dangers they encountered, they would always think of seeking the help of this wise man on earth.
But now, the Guardians of Justice have become the minions of demons, and Saruman has not only imprisoned Gandalf, but also created an army of orcs to attack the kingdom of Rohan.
"Saruman? Did he make the shot? Hearing the analysis of the trio, Ferguston, the Giant Eagle, felt that he had found the murderer.
Some time ago, Gandalf found out that the One Ring had reappeared in the world, so he went directly to Isengh to find Saruman, and prepared to study with the other party how to solve this crisis.
But what Gandalf didn't expect was that Saruman had already reached an agreement with Sauron through the Crystal of True Knowledge, and he would help the other party gain the right to rule the continent, and Sauron also said that the entire Rohan Kingdom could be divided into Saruman as a dependency at that time.
So Gandalf threw himself into the net, and was not only imprisoned by Saruman, but also let Saruman know the whereabouts of the One Ring.
Later, with the help of the Wind King Guan He, Gandalf finally escaped from the Black Tower, and the Ring Guard Team was officially formed.
So in Fergus's opinion, it must have been Saruman's anger that the Giant Eagle helped Gandalf, so he killed the killer.
"No, Lord Fergus, I think there's something elseโ"
Legolas hurriedly shouted, it is true that the scars on the giant eagle's body are very similar to the handiwork of wizards, but those strong orcs are Saruman's men!
How idle is Saruman to think about killing all his men?
Besides, even if the strength of the white-robed wizard is extremely strong, they still don't believe that Saruman can directly crush the skull of a strong orc with his bare hands.
It's just obvious that the IQ and temper of the giant eagles are inversely proportional to their size, and Fergus didn't hear Legolas's words at all, and flew away with a single wing.
"Whew! This rude big bird! Seeing that Fergus had flown away, Jin Pi blew his beard and scolded.
Fergus was at least the size of a fighter jet, and taking off at such a close distance directly rolled up all the dead branches and leaves and dust on the ground, and it was like a small tornado floating in place.
Jin Li's proud beard was rolled upside down, of course he was going to curse!
"It's definitely not Saruman who killed the Giant Eagle." Seeing Fergus's figure and disappearing into the clouds, Legolas said a little depressed.
"It doesn't matter if it's Saruman or not, the other party can't get rid of him." Aragorn patted Legolas on the shoulder and said to him.
"What do we do now? If Saruman had a tough guy by his side, it would be a disaster for all three clans. Jin Pi thought for a moment and asked with an axe.
"We should find a way to get Pippin and Merry out first, we should not be far from them!" Aragorn thought for a moment and said.
Their mission is to save people, and they must not delay their trip because of other things.
Besides, Saruman himself is the most powerful wizard in Middle-earth, and now that the other party has another powerful character by his side, even if the three of them follow up, it will be useless.
As a veteran ranger, Aragorn wouldn't do such a foolish thing!
"It's all to blame on the damn big bird, if only it would help us find someone." Jin Li said scoldingly.
"Don't complain, it should be going to inform His Highness the Wind King, if His Royal Highness the Wind King is willing to make a move, then there shouldn't be much danger on the side of the Rohan Kingdom!" Legolas had a sunny smile on his face, and it was clear that the death of the giant eagle was definitely good news for the righteous side.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"This is your army?"
Standing on the Black Tower, looking at the dense crowd of ants below, someone asked Saruman.
"Yes, my lord, but now this is your army!"
Saruman hurriedly bowed and said.
Someone already understands his behavior, although the five witches of Middle-earth are very famous, and Maia's identity is also very bluffing, but in fact, before they came to Middle-earth, they were just Vera's servants!
That's right, no matter how powerful and wise Lieutenant General Maia portrays, but no matter what you say, demigods are simply slaves compared to real gods!
And the main reason why Saruman was able to become the head of the wizards was because he could lick!
As we all know, the cronies around the leader are not necessarily the ones with the strongest strength and the best ability to do things, but they are definitely the ones who are the best at doing things and the best at making sycophants.
Saruman was the first horse boy next to the god of Vera back then, and now it's just a matter of picking it up again!
As for why Saruman, a master of Vera, wanted to join Sauron instead?
According to his statement, it was because a battle of Vera back then, that is, the battle in which Sauron's former master, Morgoth, fell, directly destroyed the magic hub of the entire Middle-earth Continent, making the current Middle-earth Continent just like those cultivation settings with withered aura, and this broken land can no longer withstand the arrival of Vera's true body.
In the same way, the reason why the High Elves are all ready to migrate out of this continent is also because of this reason!
For this news, someone said that he was very satisfied, with his current strength to deal with the non-complete Sauron, it would be no problem, but if it really was against those Veras, it would be really hard to say!
After all, according to the setting of the Lord of the Rings, Vera is the main god, and they all have incredible powers.
It is estimated that even if it is worse than Odin, it must be able to reach the level of Laufey!
Even if you do your best to kill one or two Vera with your hole cards, what about the mission?
This broken task only gave me three months, and if it was delayed for two months on a Vera, would this task still be done?
