In order to help the people of Middle-earth resist the ravages of Sauron, the Veras sent a total of five Maia to Middle-earth. According to the difference in their daily appearances www.biquge.info the people of Middle-earth refer to them as Gandalf the Grey, Saruman the White, Radgaste the Brown, and Romes Danu and Moreda the Blue.

Since arriving in Middle-earth, all five Maia have followed Vera's orders and made various efforts to resist Sauron's cause.

Ordinary humans cannot measure the strength of Maiya, and for them, each Maiya is an existence that cannot be fought against on their own. But in fact, there is still a difference between the strong and the weak among the Maiyas.

Or, the gap in hard power.

This is evidenced by the two battles between Gandalf and Saruman.

The first battle took place in the plot of the first part of the Lord of the Rings, the Fellowship of the Ring.

Because of the reappearance of the Lord of the Rings, Sauron's power grew stronger and stronger, and Gandalf went to Isengar to seek Saruman's advice and help, but Saruman had already rebelled at this time, and not only did not agree to Gandalf's request for help, but wanted to imprison Gandalf so that he could not help the humans resist Sauron.

At this point, Gandalf was no match for Saruman. As evidenced by the outcome of the battle, Saruman won easily, imprisoning Gandalf on top of the Twin Towers.

The second battle takes place in the plot of the second part of the trilogy, the Twin Towers.

When the Treants launched an attack on Isengar and successfully broke Saruman's army of strong orcs, Gandalf returned to Saruman and accompanied Hiudon and the others to negotiate with Saruman. Saruman did not admit his mistake and stood firmly on Sauron's side, so Gandalf had a second battle with Saruman.

At this time, Gandalf is no longer the gray robe he used to be.

In the previous installment, Gandalf fought against the remnants of the Morgoth era in order to escort the Fellowship of the Ring Expedition forward, and both fell into the Abyss of Turin, after which, on the peak of Siracsigil, Gandalf defeated the Firedemon, but he was too wasted and died.

Maia is immortal, and so is Gandalf. When he died, his soul came to Ilhuata, and he was given even greater power by Iluvata and promoted to the rank of White-robed Sorcerer.

Gandalf, who has completed the upgrade, has surpassed Saruman in strength. So, in the second battle, he easily defeated Saruman and stripped him of his position and great power. And this result also led to Saruman being finally killed by Grima, and if his strength had not been deprived, Saruman would not have died at the hands of the sick Grima.

Or maybe it's a gap in the heart.

Whether it's Gandalf representing decency, or Sauron, representing villains, they all have strong enough convictions. It is precisely because of this unwavering belief that Sauron can become the villain of Middle-earth, and it is also because of this belief that Gandalf will not flinch in the face of all difficulties, and finally gather the elites of all races and lead them to defeat Sauron.

In comparison, the other Maia are slightly worse.

Although the white-robed Saruman was strong, he failed to hold on to his heart, and was eventually seduced by Sauron and degenerated into a villain.

After being hit during the mission, Rydagast began to become timid in his actions, and although he continued to fight Sauron, his style of acting only in the shadows did not have much effect after all.

As for the blue-robed Romy Danu and Moreda, they have long since disappeared.

You must know that Maia is immortal, and even Sauron cannot kill Romestanu and Moreda, who are also Maia. Unless the two decide that things are hopeless, give up the mission and hide, otherwise, they won't show up in the whole plot.

"It's true that the matter between the dwarves and the elves has nothing to do with you, but this time the purpose is not just to help the dwarves. More importantly, it is necessary to destroy or seal Smaug. As far as I know, Sauron is in contact with Smaug, and if the two of them form a cooperation, then there will be another bloody storm on Middle-earth. ”

"Whether it's the human kingdom of Gondor and Lohan, or the elven Rivendell, they will all be ravaged by Smaug and Sauron, and the charr will be no exception."

"We need a nimble agent in our team. His mission is not to fight Smaug head-on, but to sneak in the Arkon Gem while we get Smaug's attention. Once he gets the gem, Thorin can be recognized by all the dwarves and become the new King of the Lonely Mountain. ”

"At that time, we can ask for more help in the name of the King of the Lonely Mountain. There are more helpers, and it is not completely impossible to deal with Smaug again. ”

"The dwarves are small enough, but they can't get silent close to the treasures of Smaug and find the Arkon Gem from within. Only you hobbits can do this quietly. ”

In the original plot, Gandalf didn't tell Bilbo so thoroughly when he persuaded him, but he concealed a lot of facts to make things not seem so difficult, and at the same time secretly provoked the adventurous nerve in Bilbo's brain.

So, why did Gandalf reveal everything at this point?

The reason is simple, it is because Bilbo's attitude has changed.

In the original plot, Bilbo, like other hobbits, eats, sleeps, and eats all day long, and his life is full of blandness.

Bilbo's aimless life was a bit boring, and it was only when he thought about it that the adventure factor in his heart was provoked by Gandalf.

And now? Bilbo is not a man without goals.

Instead of running to take risks, it is better to follow Chu Xiaobai to continue his culinary studies. With this in mind, Bilbo was much more determined when he rejected Gandalf.

Seeing that Bilbo would not be easily persuaded by himself, Gandalf had no choice but to reveal his true feelings and persuade Bilbo with the righteousness that Charles would also be affected by the disaster.

"Why does it have to be me?" Knowing why Gandalf had to find a hobbit to be an agent, Bilbo still didn't want to take the matter into account: "I'm not the only hobbit you know, right?" Can't you find someone else? ”

"Nope." Gandalf shook his head: "You are special, I know this very well. ”

Having said everything that needs to be said, the next step is to wait for Bilbo to make his own decision. Standing up, Gandalf left another sentence as he walked out: "Now, I have to contact the others, you should think about it first." Hopefully there will be a result that we are all happy with. ”

Sending off Gandalf, who had come and gone, Bilbo fell into deep thought.

In the original plot, Bilbo was just a little entangled in his heart. After all, the weights placed at both ends of the scale are not very heavy, and on the one hand, they continue to live a peaceful life, and on the other hand, they take a little risk to experience a more exciting life.

And now, the weights at both ends of the scale have been weighted a lot. On the one hand, there is the cooking skills that concern Bilbo more than a peaceful life, and on the other hand, there is the danger that the Charles and the entire Middle-earth continent are about to face. In contrast, Bilbo's heart is far more tangled than in the original plot.

I can't make up my mind on my own. Feeling the need to listen to the advice of others, Bilbo left his pouch and came to Chu Xiaobai's house.

"It's coming again so soon? Bilbo, it's not lunch yet. Chu Xiaobai didn't know that Gandalf had just been here, and when he saw Bilbo coming to the door again, he thought he just wanted to wait for him to make lunch as usual.

"Chu, I have something I want to ask your opinion." didn't laugh and quarrel with Chu Xiaobai as usual, Bilbo's expression looked very uneasy and tangled, and his brows were tightly wrinkled together.

"Huh?" Only then did I realize that something was wrong with Bilbo. got up and poured him a glass of warm milk, Chu Xiaobai came to Bilbo and sat down in front of him: "Here, drink some milk, this thing is very good for calming the mind." Say, what did you encounter? ”

"An old friend came to my house just now, and he brought me a piece of news......." Taking a sip of the hot milk, the warm taste and warm temperature made Bilbo relax a little. Steady in his mind, Bilbo slowly said what he had just met with Gandalf, and what he had heard from Gandalf.

"What do you think I should do? To be honest, I don't really feel like I'm up to the task. After a pause, Bilbo couldn't help but complain: "Two hours ago, I was still thinking about what to eat today, and now? I wondered if I should trouble the dragon Smaug. It's crazy, I think I must be crazy. ”

"Hehe, in fact, I don't need to say, you have already made a decision, right? If you really don't want to get involved in this, you won't be as entangled as you are now. ”

If Bilbo really didn't want to interfere, Chu Xiaobai wouldn't persuade him to take the risk, Gandalf and the others didn't want Bilbo as a person, but needed a good enough agent. In contrast, Chu Xiaobai himself is more suitable for this role than Bilbo, as long as he takes the initiative to recommend himself, Gandalf is likely to let him replace Bilbo.

But just like Chu Xiaobai said, since Bilbo is already entangled, it shows that he really wants to participate in his heart.

As a friend, helping Bilbo break through the confusion in his heart is also what Chu Xiaobai should do.

"Do you mean for me to promise him? Well, it looks like you're crazy too. I'm just a hobbit, and I've never picked up a weapon other than a kitchen knife, you know what I mean? ”

"Hehe, of course I understand." Chu Xiaobai said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't say let you go alone." Don't worry, I'll go with you too, and if you encounter danger on the way, I'll fix it for you. ”

"Including Smaug?"

"Perhaps. To be honest, I don't think Smaug is actually that scary, isn't he just a fire dragon? Have you forgotten that my fireball is also a fire dragon, but it doesn't last as long as Smaug. ”
