Chapter 257: Charles
In the Lord of the Rings, the word "Yiya" is synonymous with the universe...... A universe with only one star of life, and "Alda" is equivalent to Earth.
After the creation of Iya, the fifteen most powerful Enu entered Iya, and they were Vera. Fourteen of them became the Lord of Arda, the most powerful of whom rebelled and became the owner of the fire demon that appeared in The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings, who had a name before he was removed from the gods - Mirkor.
After being removed, he had a new name - Morgoth!
In addition to Vera, many less powerful Enu also entered Yiya, and they became Maia, the attendants of the Lord God, assisting the Lord God in managing Alda.
Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron, Lord of the Rings, and others are Maia.
The history of Alda was originally the history of the gods, and then after the War of Strength and the War of the Diamonds, Morgoth was locked away in the void outside of a sub, and the fourteen main gods settled in Valinor. It took countless years of evolution before human beings appeared in history.
And the most notorious in human history is Sauron.
Together with the elves, Sauron forged the Seven Rings of Dwarves and the Nine Rings of Humans, and in private, he forged the Supreme Ring to rule over the rings.
And in a place where Sauron didn't know, the elves also privately forged the three elven rings - Nanya, the ring of water, Veya, and Naya, the ring of fire. They are not controlled by the One Ring, but they lose their power when the One Ring awakens. With these three rings, the elves also learned of Sauron's ambitions.
Then there was another tragic war, during which NΓΊmenor sank, and Elendil returned to Middle-earth with his sons Essidor and Anarian, established two human kingdoms of Arnor and Gondor, and united elves, wizards, etc., to continue to fight against Sauron.
It was not until the end of the war that Esidor cut off the finger of Sauron wearing the One Ring on his hand, and Sauron's defeat announced the end of the war and the end of the Second Age.
The story of the Lord of the Rings takes place more than 2,500 years after the defeat of Sauron, in the Third Age, and begins in the Shire in the northwest of Middle-earth.
The first stop Qin Shao is going to is the place where this plot begins-Charles!
β¦β¦β¦
The Shire and Linton are both located in the northwest of Middle-earth, and because they are separated by the Blue Mountains in between, their actual distances are much farther than the distance in a straight line.
However, this is not something worth frowning about for Qin Shao, who has the magical power of "the end of the world".
A ripple of space flashed by the Linton Seashore, and the next moment, the figures of Qin Shao and Aljeta appeared in Hobbiton in the Shire region.
Hobbits are populated by hobbits, also known as hobbits, who are between 0.6 and 1.2 meters tall and have an average height of 1 meter. Because of this, the houses they live in are much smaller than the ones that humans live in, like a large pocket dollhouse.
At this time, what appeared in front of Qin Shao's eyes was a row of miniature houses.
"I used to think that the dwarves were the shortest humanoid race, but I didn't expect that the hobbits in this world were even shorter than the dwarves!" Algerta stared at a hobbit lying on the hay to warm himself in surprise.
"Not only are they short, but they eat more, more than the average human!" Qin Shao added another sentence after Arjeta's words.
Lambas, also known as elf biscuits, was eaten by Pippin for four whole pieces, and this group of hobbits did eat more than ordinary people!
"Hello guests from afar!" A hobbit old man was not surprised when he saw Qin Shao and the others suddenly appear on the street, but stepped forward and greeted him warmly.
Hobbits also have a characteristic, they have a gentle and kind personality and do not like complicated things.
"Is there a guy named Bilbo in this place, Bilbo Baggins?" Qin Shao smiled at the old man and asked.
As soon as the old man heard that Qin Shao was asking Bilbo, his kind expression suddenly changed by three points, and he asked tentatively: "You are talking about Bilbo, but Bilbo, who subdued the dwarves' homeland with the thirteen dwarves in the battle of the Five Armies sixty years ago?" β
"The Hobbit plot has passed, the Lord of the Rings plot has not yet begun, this entry point is not bad, at least not directly cut into the Tao 2,500 years ago. However, Bilbo's reputation in his hometown is not very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Qin Shao thought in his heart, and responded in his mouth: "If this Hobbiton doesn't have a second hobbit who has participated in the battle of the Five Armies, it is him." β
"So, what should you do with Bilbo's home?"
Shire is a gathering place for the hobbits, and there are many hobbits living in this land, which is easy for Qin Shao to discover. However, it is not easy to find someone with no name written on his head among the many similar hobbits.
Bilbo lives in the Pocket Bottom Cave, and about a kilometre north along this road, where a banquet is being held. By the way, I just saw Bilbo's nephew Frodo in the woods by the side of the water, as if waiting for someone, he has a book in his hand, and now there are not many hobbit boys reading books, it is very easy to recognize, you can let him lead you. β
Although the old man didn't want to see Bilbo's expression, he didn't embarrass Qin Shao, and answered Qin Shao's question happily.
"Young man?"
Hearing the old man's answer, a strange look appeared on Qin Shao's face.
Frodo walked out of the Shire at the age of fifty-one and embarked on the road of destiny. Even if the plot here is a fiction plot, then he is thirty-four years old, and he is not a teenager at all. However, thinking of the longevity of the Harpy clan and the face of Frodo in the movie, Qin Shao was also relieved.
After thanking the old man, Qin Shao took Aljeta to the waterfront road that the old man said.
There is a river on the south side of the waterfront road, from which the name waterfront comes from. Between the road and the river, a small grove sits on it, and Frodo sits at the root of one of the great trees and reads with relish.
Harpy is lazy by nature, and there are really not many people who can calm down and read!
"Aljeta, did you say this kid was looking at you or me for the first time?" While walking towards Frodo, Qin Shao asked.
"Needless to say? It looked at me, of course! I'm a beauty! Arjeta said with the corners of her mouth raised.
When she is with Qin Shao, she usually does not suppress her heart, even if she learns Qin Shao's true identity, this has not changed in the slightest. After all, the strong dragon aura on Qin Shao's body still existed, and it did not dissipate with the revelation of his identity.
"The premise is that you have to put your hood down and show your beautiful face." Qin Shao pointed to the hood covering Arjeta's silver hair. He knew that this was the wall that Algerta had erected between himself and humanity, and that it would remain as strong as the years passed.
"Do you want to see it?" Aljeta asked, tilting her head.
How can this question be answered? Qin Shao decided to skip it. He pointed his eyes at Frodo and used him as a shield: "He must want to see it!" β
Frodo did want to see it, but not at Algerta, but at the carriage she had blocked.
The Lord of the Rings can seduce the deepest part of a person's inner possessiveness, inner desire. The fewer people who look at it, the more they can resist the depravity caused by the Ring. In this sense, lazy and unambitious hobbits are stronger than elves.
What is a woman compared to the Lord of the Rings? At least in Frodo's eyes at this moment, the beautiful Aljeta was far inferior to an old man in a gray robe with gray hair.
Gandalf!
"Hey, those two humans in front, can you let one go? I want to see the people in the carriage behind you. Frodo leaned comfortably against the trunk of the tree, motionless.
"Actually, you just need to tilt your head, but since you're a hobbit, we'll reluctantly move a little bit for you."
Qin Shao pulled Aljeta to the side and moved his steps, and a white-bearded old man wearing a pointed hat appeared in Frodo's eyes.
"Gandalf, I'm almost done reading the book, so you're here!" Frodo looked at the old man carefully, then jumped to his feet with a thud and glared.
Bilbo is good friends with Gandalf, and Frodo is Bilbo's nephew. Gandalf spent his days traveling around Middle-earth and did not often come to see Bilbo, so Bilbo regarded him as an audience and often dragged him to drink and smoke to tell him about his past. Over time, Gandalf became the object of his greatest admiration...... If you don't count Bilbo.
A few days ago, Bilbo accidentally said that Gandalf was coming to celebrate his birthday, so he thought about the day and came to this road to the bottom of the bag, waiting for Gandalf's arrival.
However, Gandalf seemed to have kept him waiting a little longer.
"Wizards have a clock in their hearts, and they are never late, nor are they early. These two are your friends? Gandalf first educated Frodo in a serious tone, and then asked suddenly.
"No, I don't know them." Frodo shook his head.
Gandalf shifted to the side, gestured to the vacant seat, and said, "Then let's go." β
As one of the Maia sent by Vera, although his cultivation was suppressed after coming to this continent, his keen spiritual sense did not disappear. Because of his psychic presence, he could perceive the unusualness of the two, or rather the man.
It was a familiar feeling, he had felt it a long time ago. That's what he had felt before he was sent to Middle-earth, in Valinor, where the gods and elves lived.
It was the delegate of his mission, the god of the atmosphere, the head of the gods, and the only god he had ever seen, the power of Manway.
"Just like the Great God's prohibition, a god is not allowed to go to Middle-earth without permission, and he can't be one of the fourteen main gods. But the familiar palpitations were so clear that even Sauron couldn't give me this feeling. Who is he!? β
Gandalf was horrified, but remained silent. Fearing that he would show his flaws, he showed his shock on his face, so he called Frodo to his side, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
Qin Shao didn't plan to let Gandalf go, he didn't know Bilbo's family, but he wanted to see the legendary Supreme Ring that ruled the rings, so he had to find a guide to lead the way. In his opinion, the erudite Gandalf was undoubtedly a good guide.
"How about we go with you and give us a ride?"
