Chapter 123: Minas Tilis

The famous elves of Rivendell, Elon, Arvin, Kyletrilan, Legolas, and many others are holding a secret meeting. The human wizards Gandalf, Saruman, and others also received invitations. In a small conference room, more than half of the powerhouses of Middle-earth gathered.

"The One Ring has appeared." The Queen of the Forest, Kyletrilan, was the first to speak.

"What about Sauron? What's going on? ”

"Not yet, but one of my friends in the Dark Forest, Ridagast, has been attacked by the Dark. Many of the animals in the forest have also begun to demonize. By all indications, Sauron's dark power had begun to erode the world. ”

"What about the One Ring? What is the situation now and why didn't it come in the first place. With the magic of Rivendell, it should be possible to suppress it. Legolas was puzzled.

"In theory, it should be, but in reality, there was an accident." With a wave of her right hand in the void, the queen of the forest, Kyletrilan, revealed an illusion in the air. That was exactly what Lin Xuan looked like.

"Two days ago, the guardians of the sky, Guan Hill and Dorval, sensed the breath of the One Ring near Goblin Town. But at that time, the One Ring had been obtained by a human wizard, a very powerful wizard. Two Guardians narrowly escaped death at his hands. That's the guy. Keltrilan pointed to Lin Xuan's illusion and said.

"Is there a record of this person in the Council of Wizards?" Gandalf asked Saruman back.

"Not impressed, but it's possible that he used magic to change his appearance. But the wizard who was able to defeat two Sky Guardians at the same time should be very famous. I can't think of anyone who would do such a thing. However, Sauron's return will take time after all, and there is already a looming threat right now. Do we have to pretend we don't see it? ”

"Pale Orcs, they are already a great scourge for Middle-earth, and if they can't be defeated this time, Middle-earth will face a catastrophe. But almost all human empires are reluctant to take the lead in sending troops. ”

"It's inevitable, and they won't do anything until they see a real threat. I just don't know when the time comes, it's not too late. ”

"What about this mysterious wizard? He holds the One Ring in his hand, what if he is a believer in Sauron? ”

"Well, all I can say is that it was really eventful."

Lin Xuan didn't know that this meeting was held, and now he was engrossed in analyzing this Supreme Demon Ring. This ring does not directly show great power in the original book. Its best function is to serve as a medium for Sauron's return.

Another effect of that is that the appearance of the Supreme Ring suppressed the three elven rings. Although it is not possible to control them like other rings, it also greatly weakens the power of the three rings.

The runes of the Ring are not complicated, but they have a peculiar charm. As the original Maya, Sauron had the ability to be a 'gifted grandmaster'. The One Ring, which he had put all his heart and soul into to create, had a very special property. He cannot be destroyed by conventional means. It can only be melted in the doomsday volcano that it was cast.

When the Ring was forged, Sauron used a special technique to make the Ring have a certain connection to the origin of this world. This is one of the reasons why it cannot be destroyed. The lava of Mount Doom comes from the deepest part of this world, and is the first fire of this world, so it is able to destroy the One Ring.

Just as Lin Xuan was pondering, a chaotic consciousness in the magic ring struck Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan didn't care about stopping this attack. There is a strong connection between the One Ring and Sauron, and Sauron knows everything that happened on the Ring. Therefore, when Lin Xuan tried to analyze this ring in depth, Sauron jumped out from time to time to make trouble. It seemed that Lin Xuan's strength had given him a great shock, and he was also beginning to be afraid that Lin Xuan would really see through something.

Seeing that it was impossible to truly figure out the mystery of the Supreme Ring in a short period of time, Lin Xuan turned to put away the Supreme Ring. Started a new journey of his own. It's just that this time Lin Xuan is no longer an aimless adventure.

The Gondor Empire is located to the south of the White Mountains and to the west of Mordor. It is one of the strongest human empires in Middle-earth. Their cavalry once dominated Middle-earth, and even the later Rohan Kingdom was given a piece of land by Gondor before it was able to establish a state. During the Battle of Celebrandt Plains a millennium ago, the Hussars arrived just in time to help the Gondor defeat the Savage Legion. For this reason, Gondor and Rohan became allies for a millennium.

Minas Tilis, the capital of Gondor. It is also one of the most prosperous cities in the whole of Middle-earth. Even though Gondor had begun to decline at this time, the shadow of the former powerful empire can still be seen here.

Dwarven blacksmiths can be found on the streets, as well as hobbit restaurants, and even an elf can occasionally be seen walking down the street.

Lin Xuan's yellow skin, black hair, and black eyes brought him a lot of attention. But no one came forward to ask, this is Minas Tilis, an Oriental is rare, but it is not very curious.

The whole of Minas Tilis was built according to the mountain, and gradually ascended, forming a special mountain town. Because the castle is built entirely of white boulders, it is also called the White Castle. At the end of the spiraling staircase is the royal palace of Gondor. It is also the highest point in Minastiris.

Lin Xuan walked towards the palace, and this time, he finally caught the attention of the guards.

"Please stop, this is a forbidden place." The guard's tone was kind, not as domineering as he had imagined. However, after the two guards moved their bodies slightly, they were already in a state of both offense and defense, and were able to cooperate with each other, showing quite good military qualities.

"I am a free wizard from the East, and I hope to be able to meet your king."

"Wizard?" The two guards visibly looked puzzled.

A flame rose out of thin air, startling the two guards. One of them has even drawn his sword.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here with kindness." Lin Xuan extinguished the flames and tried to slow down his tone as much as possible.

"Wait, honorable wizard." It seems that the status of wizards in this world is quite high. Just by looking at Gondor being able to give the whole of Isengar to Saruman, you know that wizards have a very high say in this world.

A few minutes later, the guards returned and invited Lin Xuan into the palace in a more respectful manner.

At this time, Denechau was still a young man who had just taken over as regent. Energetic and ambitious to revive the former Gondor Empire. The arrival of a free wizard piqued his interest.

Lin Xuan walked into the palace hall, the entire hall was quite empty, except for the load-bearing pillars and the soldiers on both sides, there was hardly any extra decoration. It is said that the kings of Gondor used this as a warning to prevent themselves from losing their enterprising spirit and indulging in wealth.

Denerho sat on a high throne, and behind him stood two men in gray robes. If nothing else, it's probably a role like a court mage. After all, how could the king not be prepared to meet with a mage of unknown origin?

"Tell me what you came for, wizard." Denerho spoke first.

"Dear Regent, I am a wandering wizard from the Far East. After a long period of travel and experience, I came to Middle-earth. and heard in the mouths of countless bards the strength of the kingdom of Gondor. There is an old saying in my hometown, 'If you learn a skill, you will buy it from the emperor's family'. So I came to the strongest empire, the kingdom of Gondor. I hope to get the status and glory that belongs to me. ”

"Status and glory need to have the ability to match, I don't see how much power you have."

"That's because the regent is not a wizard, and I think the two behind you should understand if I am capable enough."

Denehao looked back at his court mage, but was surprised to find that the two court mages were sweating profusely and trembling all over, as if they were going to faint in the next second. But in the next second, the two of them suddenly let out a sigh of relief and made a mage salute to Lin Xuan. Then he turned to De Nehao and said.

"Honorable Lord Regent, this wizard is the strongest spellcaster we have ever seen. We believe that he deserves enough status and glory.
