Chapter 171: Not Entirely Successful
"Togo-Dore?" Gandalf frowned and said, "Did I hear me right? ”
"You heard it right, Gandalf!" Ridagast said with a solemn face: "You know what the Black Fortress of Dore in Togo means, it used to be the place where the gods descended, and in the Second Age, I also helped Sauron, who was not blackened at that time, to condense a fountain of divine power and magic......"
Gandalf said in a deep voice, "I know. ”
"Gandalf, the world is about to change, and the Witch King of Angmar has entered the Green Forest and gone directly to the Black Fortress, where he wants to reshape the Demon Lord Sauron's body by the power of the Black Fortress's Magic Fountain. ”
"What?" Gandalf gasped, "Didn't the Magic Fountain be destroyed at the end of the Second Age?" ”
"Yes, but in the soil under the fountain, there is still divine power, as long as it is a powerful mage, it can refine the remaining divine power in the soil and condense it into a drop of magical water."
Ridagast said with a solemn face: "This drop of magic water, as long as it is used properly, can bring the Demon Lord Sauron back to life!" Gandalf, you say, is this serious matter? Isn't it bigger than what you just said? ”
Gandalf frowned and said, "You guy, why are you so strong?" That's right, the matter of the Demon Lord Sauron is indeed bigger than anything else! ”
Whether it's the Ring King or the Orc Outpost, speaking of which, it's all under the leadership of Sauron!
No matter how much trouble they cause, it's not as big as the fact that Sauron wants to be resurrected!
Ridagast smiled proudly.
Gandalf said eagerly, "Don't be happy yet! Tell me, what happened to Sauron? Did the Witch King of Angmar bring him back to life? ”
Ridagast smiled, "Haha, if the Witch King of Angmar succeeds, can I still talk to you so easily?" ”
Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, "So, he didn't make it, that's good!" ”
Redagast shook his head again, "No, I mean, he didn't quite succeed. ”
Gandalf was taken aback, "What do you mean?" What is ...... called? Not entirely successful? ”
Ridagast said: "It's only a little bit of success, not completely successful!" He didn't bring Sauron's body back to life, because Lady Shirdi and I stopped the Angmar Witch King's ritual in time, but after all, the Angmar Witch King had arrived at the Black Fortress one step earlier, so the ritual had already begun, and despite our best efforts to stop it, the Angmar Witch King was partially resurrected. ”
"Part of it?" Gandalf nervously asked, "Which part?" ”
Ridagast said, "A magic eye. ”
"MONOCULUS?" Gandalf gasped, his face turning extremely ugly.
Thorin was afraid that this matter would affect Gandalf to help him recover the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, so he hurriedly comforted: "Gandalf, it's just an eye, any one of us here can take out that eye, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Gandalf frowned and shook his head, "No, you don't understand anything. The real power of Sauron is not his physical body, we can't live without the physical body, but as a black-robed mage, Sauron's specialty is necromancy! He himself was already a necromancer himself, and for Sauron, resurrecting an eye was enough for him to pass on his thoughts to the Ringwraiths and Orcs, as well as other monsters. ”
Everyone present looked at Gandalf blankly.
Gandalf sighed and said, "Let me be more blunt, Sauron has only been left in his undead form since the Third Age, and this undead form has not been able to intervene in our Middle-earth before, and now he has found a demon smoke as a medium, which is equivalent to that he has been resurrected." ”
The dwarves in the audience all exclaimed.
None of them had ever seen the real Sauron, but they had all heard the legend of Sauron and knew about the war at the end of the Second Age.
The three major races of the alliance united, plus the Holy White Council, were almost defeated by Sauron's hands!
If luck hadn't been on the side of the Alliance, allowing Essidor to cut off Sauron's finger with the One Ring with a broken Nasir, there would have been no Third Age in Middle-earth!
Gandalf saw that everyone was a little panicked, and hurriedly said: "Of course, you don't have to worry too much, through the Demon Eye, Sauron can indeed convey his will to his army, but, if there is an army alone, our alliance can still deal with it, as long as Sauron does not put on the Supreme Ring again, and the Supreme Ring has not appeared so far, and the alliance's strength is enough." ”
Only then did everyone relax their hearts a little.
Gandalf said this, but his heart was still full of worry.
Thorin frowned and asked, "Then we, what should we do next?" ”
Xu Feng said lightly: "It's not too early now, let's go to the town to rest first, and then discuss slowly." ”
"Good!"
This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone present.
The expedition and the Snow Emperor then joined up and returned to the town of Sheitrin.
The townspeople of Chaitlin thought the expedition was a bandit, so they still didn't dare to open the door.
However, the expedition did not want to disturb the timid townspeople, and they found an uninhabited abandoned house and used it as a base for the time being.
While the other dwarves were busy cleaning, Gandalf walked up to Fleger.
He didn't speak, but took a few puffs of charr tobacco.
Xu Feng smiled: "Lao Gan, do you have something to say?" ”
Gandalf spat out long circles of his eyes, "...... Yes, Diedy. I remember you fainted with Lady Hammer before you went to Canyontown. Can you tell me if your situation at that time had something to do with the Magic Eye? ”。
Xu Feng smiled, "It's really worthy of being the gray-robed archmage of the Holy White Council, since you asked so, then I won't beat around the bush, that's right, our entire team fainted at that time, the reason is Sauron's magic eye, when the magic eye appeared, Sauron used his dark power to suppress our captain Xuedi, so we connected all our spiritual power together to fight against Sauron's dark suppression." ”
Gandalf was surprised and said, "You use your spiritual power to deal with the dark power of Sauron? Do you know how strong Sauron's dark power is? Even I, no, even the three archmages of the Holy White Council united, may not be able to withstand the dark pressure of Sauron, you five mortals...... How is it possible? Besides, how did you concentrate all your spiritual powers? I'm afraid no mage in Middle-earth can do this kind of ability! ”
