Chapter 126: The Power of a Sorcerer
A few days later, De Nehao stared at a pair of panda eyes and came to Lin Xuan's laboratory.
"We should talk." He said in a hoarse tone.
"Of course, you look a little tired." Lin Xuan casually handed over a cocktail to relieve fatigue.
"I pondered what you said, and although you didn't say anything, I knew what you meant. I consulted a lot of texts. Got some of your hints. ”
"Shh Lin Xuan motioned for De Nehao to pause. Then I saw him make a few strange gestures, and suddenly Denehao only felt an invisible force pass over him, evenly distributed in the room.
"Don't be nervous, it's just a small spell to prevent the wall from having ears, and there is no harm." Lin Xuan explained.
Denehou breathed a sigh of relief, then continued to tense.
"I looked up a lot of information, including the twelve main gods, including the original Maia. As you said. There's a lot of Miya, and Thorin is nothing in it. But he was the most active in the whole of Middle-earth. The most important thing is that after banishing Sauron's master, Morgoth, the gods never really stopped Sauron. Countless civilizations were destroyed at the hands of Sauron. I don't understand why? If Sauron had survived to this point, then surely so would the higher Maiahs and the gods. But none of them stood up to stop Sauron. Maybe they didn't want Sauron to be stopped at all, did they? ”
"It's a very simple and complex question. It's so simple that everyone in the world can answer, and it's so complicated that no one dares to say it even if they know the answer. Do you think the two of us are smart? ”
"Maybe. At least you're a rare wise man. Any questions? ”
"Do you think we can be considered the smartest people in all of Gondor, and even in Middle-earth?"
"That's an exaggeration."
"That's true, and I don't think so myself. But why do you think so many smart people don't see the problem? ”
"Because...... They found out, but everyone chose to ignore it. Some things, once revealed, may lead to a more formidable enemy than Sauron. But why exactly do they do it? What's in it for them? ”
"We're all just human beings, and those things claim to be gods. So in that sense, they've set themselves apart from us. Maybe it's just a fun game for them, maybe it's just that they're tired of looking at the faces below. So I'm going to change to a new batch. ”
"So they indulged Sauron's constant destruction of the civilization of Middle-earth, what are we in the eyes of those guys?"
"Ants, or whatever. It's all some lower life anyway. Believe me, there has never been a god who really cares about human existence. And I never thought of those guys as real gods, just a bunch of rats hiding in the shadows. ”
"I don't like that, I don't like to be looked at by some being, looking at me like an ant. In particular, I used to believe in them, and I don't know how wise men of the past endured such things. But I can't stand it. I wanted to fight, and even though there was little hope of winning, I still wanted to fight. ”
"That's why I chose you, Denechau. You have the courage to break through the cage, and I will provide you with enough strength. ”
"What should we do?"
"First of all, we need a strong human nation. This is your first job. ”
Gandalf chose Thorin Oak Shield, hoping to use Thorrin's fame to reunite the dwarves. Unfortunately, however, the messengers of Gondor had already found the hill dwarves in advance. Although the lord of the hill dwarves is cousin of Thorin. But under the temptation of the throne, even if it is a brother, it will not work.
A few months later, a rumor popped up. Smaug the dragon is dead. The Lonely Mountain has long been empty, and the countless treasures inside are now ownerless. Countless adventurers are ready to make their own legends out there. But soon another unfortunate news came, the hill dwarves had arrived at the Lonely Mountain. All adventurers should wash up and sleep. Otherwise, you'll have to face the strongest infantry regiment on the continent.
Rumors twisted and turned, and soon the Kingdom of Gondor intervened in the matter. At this point, all the adventurers have completely died. This is already a national war-level event, and a few wandering adventurers have no ability to meddle at all.
"We sent out the news, but the orcs couldn't just run to the Lonely Mountain."
"Indeed, let the dwarves seal off the outskirts of the Lonely Mountain. Create the illusion that the dwarves have taken back the lonely mountain, and then just wait patiently. Don't worry about Smaug, as long as you don't enter the vault, you won't be alarmed. We don't have to be in a hurry, it's the orcs who are in a hurry. I don't believe that with such a big cake, those guys will hold back and not eat it. ”
Lin Xuan did not participate in the specific implementation of this plan. He is working on some of the more critical issues. What is the source of the power of the wizards of this world.
Throughout the Lord of the Rings series, there are only five real wizards from The Hobbit to The Lord of the Rings. They are Radgeist the Brown, Aratta the Blue, and Palando the Blue, as well as the more familiar Saruman and Gandalf.
As for the two Lin Xuan saw in the royal family of Gondor, they could only be said to be apprentices. There is no real magic damage at all. It's a first-class swordsmanship, which can be regarded as the characteristic of wizards in this world.
Saruman and Gandalf are both sub-Maia, demigods. As for the other three, I have not elaborated on them. In this way, the source of the wizard's power seems rather obscure. Is it the so-called God who gave them strength, or did they get the approval of God after their practice and received the title of Maia? Why is the power of wizards so weak in all of Middle-earth? One by one, the existence of the so-called demigods, not even a single war magic has been developed. Nor did it have the slightest intention of spreading magic in Middle-earth. In Lin Xuan's view, it's not that they can't do it, it's just that they don't want to do it, or they can't do it.
It's like the two giant eagles that Lin Xuan encountered at the beginning. He has a powerful wind magic, and his whole body is guarded by the wind element, ignoring the bow and arrow. In war, they can easily crush a regular army of thousands. Two giant tornadoes go down, and even a powerful army will be finished. But in fact, in the battles they appear in, they are only responsible for saving people. Such a powerful war machine, responsible for saving people?
In short, all the powerful forces in the entire Middle-earth world are very active, constantly doing all kinds of things. But once on the real battlefield, a demigod will only draw his sword and go up and cut people. The other was stabbed to death in the back by a nobody. I feel that the acting is too exaggerated.
After thinking about it again, Lin Xuan still decided to use his own method to verify this matter.
