Gandalf, the friend who can take He Xie away from the sky, is the king of the Giant Eagle Clan, the Wind King Guan He.

This is a giant eagle with a metallic luster all over, about eight meters tall, and its wings spread out are tens of meters long, just like an airplane, majestic.

It is not a creature of Middle-earth, but like Gandalf, it is Maia with the shape of an eagle, and belongs to the king of the gods, Manwe, who is also known as the Eagle of Manw.

During the First Age, Morgoth was in turmoil in Middle-earth, and Manway sent the Great Eagle from Valinor in the West to Middle-earth to help the Noldor elves fight Morgoth.

The eagles nest in the cliffs north of Beleriand, and their eyes can monitor every inch of Middle-earth, see through the deep caverns of the earth, and constantly bring news of Middle-earth to Manway.

At the same time, as a righteous and orderly Maiya, they have been quietly helping humans, dwarves, and elves against evil, and are hated and feared by Sauron and his army of Doom.

Guan He came quickly, and after Gandalf whispered a few words in his ear, he signaled that He Xie could ride on the back of the eagle.

"He, I suggest you go to the Dark Forest, where there is another friend of mine, the brown-robed wizard Redagast." Gandalf said to Ho, "Although he may seem a little strange, he is definitely a trustworthy person. ”

"I'll think about it," He Xie smiled, "My friend, Gandalf, thank you for your help, it warms my heart." Darkness and evil are the common enemies of every man of conscience, and I do not want to see that there are countless swords in the light against my back when I fight to the death against evil. ”

"But as you say," said Ho, "the arrival of peace is always difficult and tortuous, and I look forward to you and me writing a new chapter in history together." ”

He Xie smiled and nodded to Gandalf, tapped the soles of his feet, jumped on the back of the eagle, and whispered to Guan He, "Go to the East." ”

"Wow!"

The giant eagle let out a loud cry, spread its wings, flapped lightly a few times, and disappeared into the vast sky in the blink of an eye.

Gandalf looked at He Xie's distant figure, and the smile on his face gradually converged, turning into a deep worry.

After a frank conversation with He Xie, he was even more worried about this unnecessary dispute.

Darkness is looming, danger is looming, and Middle-earth is on the verge of catastrophe, and trust and unity are needed more than ever.

He decided to go to Galadriel before the White Council began.

He hopes to convince Galadriel not to deal with Ho Evil, and to keep an eye on Dolgodo, where the power of evil is spreading rapidly and is likely to be difficult to contain.

At dusk, the setting sun gilded the beautiful Rivendell with a layer of gold, and the white-robed wizard Saruman and the elven queen Galadriel of Roslorian greeted the sunset, and the Holy White Council began.

In fact, the members of the White Council are the brown-robed wizard Redagast and the shipbuilder Chirdan, but the former is only willing to deal with animals except Gandalf; The latter lives in seclusion in Gray Harbor all the year round and does not ask about the world.

After greeting each other, the four of them quickly got to the point and talked about He Evil.

"There is no doubt that the Keeper of the Ring is Sauron's minions, and it is even possible that he is Sauron's incarnation." The white-robed wizard Saruman was the first to speak, and his attitude was clear, "We must destroy him and reclaim the One Ring, this matter is nothing to discuss, we should not waste time here." ”

King Elon bowed slightly to Saruman and said, "Dear Wise Man, this is also my opinion, the Ring Bearer has an evil power that we do not understand, I doubt that it is the power from the One Ring, if this is the case, then it is obvious that he has been corrupted by the One Ring and fallen into the abyss, we must destroy him in time." ”

Saruman continued: "The tenth Ring Spirit is about to appear, how can the Ring Bearer resist the power of Viya, the Ring of Qi, it is obvious that he is an evil being who is even more cruel and powerful than the Witch King of Angmar, everyone, we cannot sit idly by and watch the tragedy of Minas Ihir happen again. ”

Minas Ishir, in Saruman's words, was once a fortress city built by King Essidor of Gondor at the southern end of the Isilian Valley, near the border of Mordor, but was later captured by Sauron, and then occupied by the Witch King Angmar, the head of the Nine Rings.

Gandalf's expression was serious, and he said slowly: "I don't think we should be in such a hurry to make up our minds, the vow-bearers I know are by no means depraved and evil beings. ”

"Tell me, Gandalf, my friend." Saruman wore a sarcastic expression, "Do you really think that everything you do will not be discovered?" ”

"Undetected?" Gandalf was stunned, and his heart immediately sank.

"Nope." He shook his head, "I just do things with my conscience. ”

"So you kidnap the fate of the whole world on your ridiculous conscience, and let it take wings and go to the East?" Saruman said coldly, "Gandalf, you are really disappointing me more and more, before you took it upon yourself to let the dwarves provoke the dragons of the lonely mountain, which was already a very stupid move, and now, you are putting the fate of the whole world on the abyss of danger. ”

Gandalf looked at Saruman and said, "What if he really has a heart for the light, as I know, but we force him to fall into the darkness?" ”

"It's just your naïve imagination, as incomprehensible as the monsoon on the Eaton moor." Saruman scoffed. "Gandalf, you're becoming more and more like that poisonous mushroom-eating Redagaste, confused, I don't know what to say."

After a pause, Saruman looked at King Elon and Galadriel, "Maybe in the next council, we shouldn't waste time on this kind of fool." ”

Saruman's language is scathing, caustic, and merciless, silencing the crowd.

Galadriel looked at Gandalf deeply and spoke slowly, "Mislanda's wisdom is as bright as the stars, just as it was in the past. We don't understand what he did, but we can't denigrate what he did. Saruman, let him talk about his decision. ”

Saruman's face changed, and after a slight silence, he stroked his chest and saluted slightly, and said, "As you wish, honorable queen." ”

Galadriel was the mother-in-law of King Elon and one of the most noble Elven Kings active before the First Age, and even Saruman had to respect her every word.

Gandalf cast a grateful glance at Galadriel, groaned slightly, and said slowly, "When we can't see things as they are, time is the best answer. I think we need to be more patient and cautious with regard to those who take vows. ”
