By the time Gandalf left Bilbo's house, Qin Shao had already taken Aljeta to the Doomsday Volcano in the land of Mordor. In the last moment, he had planted a seed in Sauron's body, and when the Ring was consumed by the flames of the Doomsday Volcano, he broke through the ground and bloomed a second life seed for Sauron!

Beside him, witnessing all this, Aljeta, who was looking at the Eye of Sauron at the top of the towering Evil Black Tower in the distance, couldn't help but wonder in surprise: "From here, I found that the dark aura emitted by the Eye of Sauron is ** like the black dragon in our world!" ”

"Probably because they're so close." Feeling the breath of Sauron's Eye, Qin Shao replied in a deep voice: "You see, both the Black Dragon and Sauron can be classified as forces on the dark side, and what happened to them was also sealed, defeated, and then fell into a deep sleep. They are also surrounded by countless armies. And their endings all end in death. Well, there's one word that best describes these two -- like-mindedness! ”

Listening to Qin Shao's explanation, Aljeta couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle: "Giggles, according to what you said, these two are indeed sympathetic!" ”

Then he seemed to think of something, and then said: "By the way, let's come here to treat Sauron, in my perception, although this Sauron is strong, but he does not have the strength to reach the god level." Is there a need for such people to be worthy of our help? ”

"In the current context, what we need is Sauron's identity, not his strength."

Qin Shao walked down the mountain without hurrying, it seemed like a small step, but he easily crossed the distance of three or four kilometers. At the same time, he patiently explained to Aljeta: "On the Middle-earth continent, the three races of humans, elves, and dwarves represent justice, while the orcs, goblins, and other races represent evil. The good side is led by Gandalf, Queen Galadriel, the half-elf Elon Elon, and others, while the evil side is led by Sauron. The two sides have been fighting more than once in the previous era, with countless casualties, and the enmity between them has reached the point of incompatibility. ”

"But Middle-earth is a vast continent with a large population, and although it has experienced many wars, its military is still strong. Although the rule of the two human kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan is not deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it has not reached the point of detachment, and the cohesion of Mordor is several times that of the human kingdom. If our Holy Alliance forcibly occupies it, these two sides will inevitably resist desperately, and even if our army finally wins, its losses will be unacceptably great. ”

"Therefore, in my opinion, it is not advisable to fight hard when conquering Middle-earth, what the Holy Alliance has to do is to quietly occupy Linton, the bridgehead of Middle-earth, and hide it, so that when Sauron occupies Middle-earth and humanity is in dire straits, it can not only take advantage of the post-war Demon Duo to occupy the entire continent with minimal losses, but also harvest the hearts of all the continent tribes who have been oppressed by Mordor."

"And the premature demise of Sauron in the plot direction has led to the defeat of Mordor and the rebirth of the human kingdom, and its cohesion and overall will have reached a higher level, which is tantamount to exacerbating the difficulty of our army's rule, and is obviously inconsistent with the interests of the Holy Alliance. Therefore, Sauron must live, and as long as Sauron lives, Mordor will not be defeated, and the situation will move in the direction that is most favorable to the Holy Alliance. ”

Listening to Qin Shao's explanation, Arjeta nodded a little understandingly, and asked with some understanding: "Since Sauron's role is so great, why don't we just subdue him?" Why only treat him, isn't it more likely to cause accidents? ”

"Sauron will not, and can't betray, Morgoth. The only way to subdue him is to erase his sanity and make him a thoughtless puppet. In my opinion, a Sauron with a mind of his own is far more effective than a puppet without a mind! ”

Qin Shao's tone was full of affirmation, Sauron, as the Lord of the Supreme Ring, was the number one general under Morgoth before he came to the Middle-earth Continent, and he was highly regarded by him. Even after Morgoth was defeated and imprisoned in the void outside of Alda, Sauron remained loyal to him, continuing to wage war and upholding Morgoth's will.

How can a person like this be persuaded to surrender in a few words?

"Mordor's side has laid out chess pieces, and the lives of Gandalf and Frodo, the two important characters in the plot, have also been guaranteed, and with the unremitting efforts and struggles of these two, the human side must be able to hold out longer. The longer this war is for the Holy Alliance, the more advantageous it will be. ”

In his own words, Qin Shao stopped, looked at Aljeta beside him, and said, "The business has been done, so next, do you have a place you want to go?" ”

"Me?"

Stunned by Qin Shao's question, Arjeta first pointed at himself suspiciously, and then reacted, a layer of blush quickly rose on his fair face, and he said with hope in his apprehension: "Brother, they are adjusting their cultivation and preparing to cross the Divine Tribulation, but at this critical juncture, I am playing on the mainland, is this okay?" ”

"Geraint, they've been stuck in the Divine Realm for a long time, and their accumulation is already extremely deep, so you don't have to worry about their safety. Besides, there are two god-becoming beings next to them, Nervin and Karaqiu, who are taking care of them, as long as they don't make any mistakes, it is a sure thing to survive the divine tribulation. ”

As he spoke, there was a hint of concern in Qin Shao's tone: "It's you, who have lived in seclusion in the valley since the Battle of the Dragon Slayer, and only recently decided to come out. Living in one place for a long time and not seeing the outside world is not good for your state of mind, and Geraint is very worried about your condition. ”

Trushing the long silver hair that slipped from his ears, Aljeta exhaled invisibly and said, "Seeing the corpses of monsters everywhere in the Dark Valley, seeing my brother breaking with his best friend, and seeing that my former alliance was about to fall apart, I suddenly found myself tired of fighting, and tired of getting along with humans in a false way, plus you...... I decided to retreat to the mountains and forests. ”

"But time is really a good thing, day by day, those unpleasant things and disgusting things have been diluted little by little, and at the same time, they have also washed out the true thoughts in their hearts: as a dragon, they really still yearn for the sky!"

A gentle breeze blew across the sky, the dark clouds dispersed in the night sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled from the corner of the firmament of the Lord of the Rings, and for a moment the land of Mordor was silvery white, as if the evil and darkness that haunted the earth all day long had been purified.

Looking at the silver-haired Aljeta in the moonlight in the breeze, Qin Shao was silent for a moment, and finally smiled freely: "Time is indeed a good thing, but it will also destroy everything that is difficult to exist forever. You can get out of your own heart, for Geraint, for me, it's a happy development. I have prepared a continent for you, so that in the eternal years you may once again be able to tell your common memories and sorrows as you did this night. ”

Aljeta looked at the night sky quietly, and then turned around in place, staring at Qin Shao with hazy eyes: "You and your brother have already embarked on this road, no matter how hard it is, I will follow you closely, in order not to leave me alone." ”

Then without waiting for Qin Shao to speak, he immediately said: "By the way, let's go to Lonely Mountain!" I want to see how the dragons of this world are different from me. Smaug is dead, but I'm sure you'll let me see it. ”

Without thinking about the meaning of Argerta's words and the reason for such eagerly changing the topic, Qin Shao replied to Algerta's words: "Smaug? If it's just a glance, rather than resurrecting it from the past, going back in time can do that. Well, since you said so, then I can't let you down either. ”

With that, Qin Shao stepped forward and grabbed Arjeta's left hand, and then a faint light flashed, and when the outside world recovered from the chaos again, the two of them had come to the ruins of the palace of Thrandui located in the north of the Middle-earth continent, on the east side of the dark jungle.

In the light of the moon, the building, which embodies the great skills of the dwarven kingdom that has passed, has become dilapidated, like a beautiful flower withered in the years.

Behind the palace of Thranduil, in the west, a dark forest shrouded in black mist, a forest that exuded antiquity and decay, which could not be illuminated even by the moonlight, the howl of wild beasts pierced the black mist, and descended on the sky above the palace through layers of leaves and distant barriers.

In the distance, in the far north, a mountain range hidden in the night from west to east resembles a sleeping dragon, exuding a deep cyan luster, silent but breathtaking.

It was Ered Mislin, also known as the Grey Mountains, an east-west branch of the Misty Mountains that traverse the north and south of Middle-earth, and the Lone Mountain in the mouth of Aljta was one of the countless peaks of the Grey Mountains.

Looking at the deep scenery under the night in the distance, and feeling the stone touch coming from under his feet, Qin Shao couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "No matter what world you are in, the forging skills of the dwarves are commendable, but even if the majestic palace built by the entire dwarf clan with all their manpower and material resources, it still can't resist the erosion of the years after all, even if no one repairs it." I wonder if the divine heaven in 10,000 years will also appear as bleak as this palace? ”

Aljeta said in a firm tone: "No, I believe that in your hands, with the supply of resources from countless worlds, the Divine Heaven, the core of our Holy Alliance, will only develop in a more brilliant direction, even if it is ten thousand years from now!" ”

"Oh, really?" Qin Shao looked at Aljeta, the corners of his mouth raised, revealing a smile: "I'm looking forward to that day!" ”
