Chapter VII: Underwater Watchers

October 25th. In the last elven sanctuary east of the sea, Elrond, the founder and lord of Rivendell, presides over a meeting to decide where the One Ring goes!

Elrond was originally a half-elf, but now, thanks to the performance of the First Age of Wrath, he is one of the few High Elves in Middle-earth who has received the gift from Vera. His hair was as coloured as night, his eyes were as colourful as stars, and he wore a silver crown on his forehead. Neither old nor young, with the strength of a warrior, the wisdom of a wizard, the majesty of a dwarf king, and the warmth of summer.

"New friends, old friends from afar!" Standing like a benchmark, Elrond said in a deep voice, "You have been summoned for the threat of Mordor! ”

After a slight pause, and after glancing around, Elrond continued: "Middle-earth is facing a crisis of destruction, a crisis that no one can escape! Every race has the same fate, the same doom! You must be united, or you will be destroyed! ”

They looked at each other, elves and humans, dwarves and hobbits, and they made eye contact as they listened quietly.

"Frodo, bring the Ring!" Suddenly, Elrond called out the name of a hobbit, the name of a hobbit who held the One Ring and had not corrupted his mind! At the same time, he reached out and pointed to the stone platform of the ********.

With a trembling heart, Frodo got up and walked over to the stone platform, placing a ring without any patterns, as if it were just ordinary gold. But none of you here would think it was an ordinary gold ring, because that ring was tickling the desire in their hearts!

"It turned out to be true!" Boromir, the eldest son of the current regent of Gondor, Denerhao, muttered softly. As a human with an average lifespan of only 100 years or less, the One Ring is already a term recorded in the history books! I didn't expect him to have a chance to meet.

Returning to his seat without a word, Frodo felt as if he was giving up a precious treasure!

The gray-robed wizard sitting beside him. Gandalf seems to have discovered something. But now he can't say anything, so he can only sigh lightly in his heart. The Ring's erosion of people's hearts is terrifying.

"The end of humanity? This is a gift from heaven! Suddenly getting up, Boromir said with a strange smile on the corner of his mouth: "It was given to us by the heavens to deal with the Mordor army!" Why not take advantage of it? ”

"For a long time, my father, the regent of Gondor, has held off the army of Mordor at the mouth of the bay! It is also because of the blood of our people. Your home will always be safe and sound! Circumambulating the stone platform and looking around at all the attendees, Boromir continued to exclaim, "Give the enemy's weapon to Gondor and let us destroy it with the Ring!" ”

"You can't control him! No one can! Suddenly, a dark-faced creature with unkempt hair, like a vagrant everywhere, interrupted him: "This Lord of the Rings only listens to Sauron, it has no second owner!" ”

With disdain, Boromir said coldly: "You are just a wandering ranger, what will you know?" ”

Those warriors who fought to the death. Those weeping orphans and widows, Gondor already had too many victims!

"He's not an ordinary ranger!" Suddenly, an elf with a handsome face and a well-proportioned body stood up and said seriously: "He is Aragorn, the son of Arazon!" You should respect him. ”

Looking at the Ranger in disbelief, Boromir said as if in confirmation: "Aragorn? Descendants of King Essidor? ”

Aragorn didn't answer, but his resolute and sure look was the answer.

"That is, the heir to the throne of Gondor!" The previous elves revealed Aragorn's identity.

"Sit down. Legolas. "Wave your hand, for the identity of King Gondor. Aragorn didn't have any expectations. He's just a runaway, where does he have the face to be the king of Gondor?

Boromir looked at Legolas, then at Aragon, and said coldly: "Gondor has no king!" Gondor doesn't need a king either! ”

As he spoke, Boromir walked to his seat and sat down with a gloomy face.

"Aragorn is right. We can't control him! Gandalf, the gray-robed wizard who sat quietly, said suddenly.

"You have only one choice, we must destroy this ring!" Elrond, who was the organizer of the meeting, stood up and said. From you, to us, Elrond's wisdom is evident. He already sees the future of the elves!

For some reason, after Elrond said that he was going to destroy the One Ring, all the people who attended the meeting were filled with reluctance. Especially Frodo.

This little fellow, who was supposed to be cheerful and optimistic, now has a very bad face, seems to be confused, seems to be uneasy.

"So what are you waiting for? Yikes! A grumpy dwarf took the axe beside him and slashed at the Supreme Ring on the stone platform, but the Ring suddenly burst out with a powerful magic force, not only shattering the axe, but also blasting the dwarf directly to the ground!

In an instant, Frodo, the temporary holder of the Supreme Ring, seemed to see an eyeball, an eyeball that burned with flames!

"We can't destroy it by our power, Golden Bolt, son of Groin. No matter what, it's the same! Looking at the fallen dwarf calmly, Elrond said in a deep and serious voice: "It is forged by the flames of the Doomsday Volcano, and it can only be destroyed there!" ”

With the bright moon in the sky and the starlight shining, Liu Hongjing stood in front of a stone gate that reflected elegant light, and gently stroked it with a hand with a faint refining reaction and whispered: "Isilding metal will only radiate starlight and moonlight. Let me see your mysteries. ”

Mithril is polished like glass. Dwarves can make it a metal that is stronger than steel, but light as a goose's feather. It's as beautiful as silver, but the luster of Mithril doesn't fade with time. And the Isildine metal is a new metal made of Mithril by the Noldor Elves, and it has all the properties of Mithril, only more beautiful, in the light of the stars and moon.

Beauty aside, those Liu Hong didn't need it very much, but Liu Hong wanted to know the nature of Mithril, because if this metal was really that hard and lightweight, it would definitely help him in his future travels. But it's a pity, Shimen seems to have been enchanted, and Liu Hong's refining reaction can't get close, let alone analyze!

This is normal, when the Fellowship of the Ring came here in the original books, even Gandalf couldn't open the door directly, and had to say the password to remove the magic applied on it before entering.

"Gate of Turin, King of Moria, please say friend, and please enter." Looking at the pattern on the stone gate, chanting the language translated by Gandalf in the original book, Liu Hong shook his head and sighed softly, and then looked at the puddle behind him.

"Ding!" Under the light of the stars and moon, a golden streamer streaked through and fell into the water, spreading out in bursts of ripples.

"Water Watcher, let me rely on you to pass the time before the Fellowship of the Ring arrives." "Ding!" Another golden streamer passed by, but this time it didn't fall into the water, but on the gravel not far away, deeply embedded in it!

It's not that Liu Hong missed, but that Liu Hong felt that he needed to arrange a position, a position that belonged to him! He has already split his soul twice, and now his control over alchemy and magic is much weaker, along with the control of true qi!

The water watcher is really not a weak person, and it can be seen that the Ring Guard Expedition was also very embarrassed at that time! So Liu Hong felt that he needed to arrange it.

The golden streamer of the Dao Dao flew by, embedded in the stone and dead tree, and fell into the water, knowing that Liu Hong felt that this place had been arranged into a huge refining formation array by him, the undercurrent in the water also began to surge!

It was a huge creature, but because the water here was so turbid, even Liu Hong's eyes couldn't spot it and see what it looked like!

It's just that the qi machine doesn't know why, and his qi machine can't accurately grasp that creature!

Closer, when the black shadow approached the shore, a greasy and slippery tentacle suddenly pumped towards Liu Hong!

His brows furrowed, although Liu Hong would not let much emotion affect him, but when a greasy, slippery tentacle emitting a lilac light light hit him, he still had a disgusting feeling. It's so easy to provoke disgust with this kind of thing that has no aesthetic sense. But he also remembered that he liked to eat grilled squid for the first time.

"If your tentacles aren't poisonous, then roasting might be good." With Liu Hong's words, the land in front of Liu Hong suddenly freed up one iron spear after another, stringing the tentacle directly!

"Smack!" The crisp high-five was heard far away in the night, and then I saw a dazzling reaction on the surface of the water, and then I heard a dull howl from the water! Immediately after, a huge octopus was lifted into the sky by a huge stone pillar!

This is the Water Watcher, with an old man-like face on its head, but terrifying! More than a dozen tentacles waved at will, directly cracking or breaking the stone pillar that Liu Hong used to hold it up! If it weren't for Liu Hong's constant control of the refining array to supplement the ingredients of those stone pillars, he might really not be able to withstand it!

This kind of strength! Liu Hong's brows furrowed slightly. This is the Moriath Pit, and the land here is very high in metals! If the stone pillars raised by Liu Hong in other places are just hard stone pillars, then the stone pillars raised by Liu Hong now can almost be called iron pillars! But watching in the water can break or break it with a tentacle! It can be said that if Liu Hong is caught off guard, then his body will definitely be seriously injured. (To be continued.) )
