Chapter 130: Fate
The butterfly effect refers to the fact that a small factor triggers a big change. But Lin Xuan was not a weak butterfly, what he had done had already begun to change the situation in the entire Middle-earth Continent. Gondor's iron cavalry began to march, and almost all the barbarians and savage tribes around him were swept away and submitted to Gondor's force.
For most people in this world, the value of those mountains is too low, so they have been occupied by savages for a long time. But for Lin Xuan, it was easy to find a large number of minerals from it. Gondor's new allies, the Hill Dwarves, are the ones who love them the most. Countless ores were developed, then scorched, and forged into weapons, armor, and the power of Gondor was further enhanced.
All of Middle-earth was tensed by Gondor's actions. For in every way, Gondor was preparing for war. Even the elves began to feel nervous. But just then, King Elon received a special gift, the 'Elven Diamond'.
The feud between elves and dwarves has a long history, almost dating back to the last era. But the Pokemon Diamond incident is undoubtedly an important reason. At that time, the elven king commissioned the dwarves to use the elven diamond to create a necklace for his daughter. However, the dwarves coveted the Elven Diamond, and after the necklace was completed, they broke the contract and swallowed the Elven Diamond. After that, the dwarves and elves fought several times, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, and they became feuds.
"Who sent it?" Elven King Elon asked, looking at the Elven Diamond Necklace.
"It was a dwarven emissary who sent it in conjunction with a messenger of Gondor. At the same time, Gondor's messenger brought a secret letter. ”
King Elon took the secret letter, and after reading it, a complicated expression appeared on his face. Then a flame rose from his hand, reducing the secret letter to ashes.
On a mountain peak in Middle-earth, two giant eagles were listening to something to the sky. A moment later, the eagle flew away from the top of the mountain, and the vague voice disappeared.
In the southern part of Middle-earth, the Rune were also gathering their own armies. In the original story, they were the guardians of Sauron's base camp. They are a powerful race of tall men wearing golden armor. Orcs, the Verians of Kande, the red-clad Southerners, and the dark-skinned wildlings from Far Harad are also congregating on Mordor in large numbers. In the depths of Mordor, a large fiery figure sits atop a throne. The pitch-black armor encased a body that seemed to be burning. Sauron had quietly come to this world before anyone knew it.
At the heart of Isengard, a group of mutant orcs taller than the pale orcs are maturing one after another. They are the orcs that Saruman has cultivated using dark magic. There are even some mutant trolls that are four meters tall. When these trolls don heavy armor and appear on the battlefield with heavy weapons in hand, they generally become a nightmare for the enemy. All corners of the world, all races, seem to be in a state of tension overnight. Even though a lot of people don't even know what they're nervous about.
At this time, in a secret conference room in Gondor, King Elon was speaking. "I know what you want to do? Wizards, believe me, there was once more than one person who wanted to accomplish this. But now, nothing has changed. ”
"No, everything has changed. Whenever the civilization of Middle-earth reaches a certain height, it will be harvested. Morgoth, Sauron, the haunted beings, have always been hidden in the shadows, watching the civilization of Middle-earth with fierce eyes. But this time, we will choose to rebel. ”
"I understand your ambitions. But you seem to have forgotten an important prerequisite. Whether it's Sauron or those guys hiding behind the scenes, they all have one thing in common, they are not in this world at all. It was helpless, but we had to wait for them to attack. This is an unequal war. We can't even find an opponent, how can we fight. ”
"Then let them come."
"What if they don't come? Even those secondary Mayans are capable of near-immortality, let alone those who were in the first place. They don't care about time at all. ”
"They're going to care, do you know why every time Middle-earth is at peace for a long time, there is no reason for war? Even if we don't fight ourselves, there will be Morgoth, Sauron and the like jumping out and forcing us to fight. War brings pain to people, and people who suffer will choose spiritual sustenance, that is, faith. When we are at peace, when everyone is well fed and clothed, and when everyone lives in peace, who will remember the so-called gods? We don't need them at all. And what the gods fear most is to be forgotten by the world. ”
"The Power of Faith." King Elon uttered the word slowly.
"That's right, it's the power of faith. The gods of this world are innate, and the power of faith is not all they have, but it is the source of their power. When no one believes in them, they may survive, but they will lose their power. At that time, the fate of Middle-earth, the fate of our respective races, will be in our own hands. ”
"That's the gods, they created us. Are we really going to rebel against them? The leader of the hill dwarves hesitated.
"Did your god ever give you a kilogram of Mithril?"
"Well, of course not."
"Then what do you think you owe them? And I can tell you unequivocally that no one created this world, and no one created the races of this world. Those so-called creators only appeared before humans and mastered the first powers. ”
"Well, I actually don't like these guys who manipulate our destinies. It's just how we should do it. ”
"I need you to start implementing a policy first. Began to gradually weaken, and the image of the gods believed in by the various tribes. Don't be too tough, it's a long war, and we need to think long-term. Those guys will soon perceive our actions, war is coming at any moment, and we need to be prepared. It's also important to note that, if I'm not mistaken, Saruman may have fallen. He's come to believe in Sauron or something. In Isengard, I saw a powerful new breed of orcs. ”
After the meeting, King Ayrond found Lin Xuan.
"I know the One Ring is in your hands. I'm glad you weren't corrupted. That's one of the reasons why I'm able to support you today. Some of our goals are the same. But I would like to know another part of your goals. What do you want? ”
"A lot of things, you know? When our plans advance to a certain extent. It's possible that we're going to face those things directly. I don't know exactly why, but I'm sure almost all 'gods' are in a state of weakness. If possible, I would like to ...... Kill a 'god'. ”
