Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Temptation of the Ring

Idoras's surrender without a fight saved Zhang Yao a lot of time and unnecessary trouble.

After the occupation of Idoras, Zhang Yao did not go on a killing spree.

In Zhang Yao's heart, Xiyuton is just a yellow flower in the past, and from now on, the threat to himself is negligible, and the two sides are not equal from the beginning.

In the end, Zhang Yao, who represented victory, canonized Xiyoton as the lord of Idoras under the watchful eye. In addition to being deprived of military power, Zhang Yao did not interfere too much with the administrative power, and completely handed it over to Xiyoudun, the former emperor.

It couldn't have been better than ever to guard Idoras. This is good for Xiyou, and it is good for Zhang Yao and the Rising Sun Empire.

The national strength of the Rising Sun Empire was not very strong, and after Zhang Yao forcibly transformed four satellite cities, the shortcomings of the management personnel were also exposed.

This is not a web novel that will bow down as soon as it is called, the cultivation of talents and the limitation of time make the Rising Sun Empire force the Rohan Kingdom to surrender, and there is not enough manpower to take over the entire Graton Plain in the first time.

Some had to be reluctant, and Zhang Yao, who was unwilling to take over the mess, reactivated Xiyoudun and his Wenchen generals. In the way of herding cattle and sheep, Idoras was handed over to Xiudun to manage.

In the future, if Xiyoton knows each other, it will be the best thing to be a master of the guardianship and guard Idoras for Zhang Yaozhen. If Xi Youdun still had two hearts after becoming the city lord, Zhang Yao wouldn't mind letting him taste the taste of the Ten Clans.

Stocking is not indulgence, if you don't want a person to betray, then never test a person's heart. Zhang Yao knew how to prepare for a rainy day, and after taking over Xiyudon's army, Zhang Yao also took Xiyodon's only daughter, the princess named Iowen, as a hostage.

In the entire Edoras, after Zhang Yao led his troops north, he left 3,000 soldiers and horses, responsible for taking over the city defense of Idoras. The defense work within Idoras was taken over by the soldiers left behind by Zhang Yao, and together with Iowen, they formed a double insurance to not give Xiudon any chance to turn around.

After sorting out everything in Idoras, Zhang Yao led the army and began to move north.

Xiyoudun's surrender did not contribute a lottery opportunity for Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao thought about it, and felt that this Rohan Kingdom was not composed of Xiyoudun alone, and this time he did not get the lottery opportunity, I am afraid that it has a major relationship with the eight tribes of the grassland.

Saruman's death and the Goblin Legion's march south left room for the Eight Tribes of the Steppe.

Now the Goblin Legion and Dracula's Vampire Legion are in a fierce battle, and the Eight Tribes of the Steppe are hiding in the dark to lick their wounds. Zhang Yao's purpose of going north this time is very clear, that is, to see if he can use Gandalf and Iowen to force down the Goblin Legion in the Eight Tribes of the Steppe and the Isengard, so as to achieve bloodlessness.

"Gandalf, if the Goblin Legion can surrender to me, you'll be the first to do it this time!"

The atmosphere in the marching tent was warm, and Zhang Yao, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his wine glass and raised his glass to Gandalf and the others sitting on the side.

A fat sheep was roasted and oily, and on Zhang Yao's left sat Dracula and his party, and on his right sat Gandalf and others.

Gandalf and Zhang Yao did not have a fundamental conflict of interest, and the surrender of Idoras and the appointment of Siyodon as the lord of the city both earned Zhang Yao a lot of impression points. Although Gandalf still resisted the magic ring that Zhang Yao wore in his hand, on the whole, the relationship between the two sides was much better than before the war.

Zhang Yao raised his glass to Gandalf and made an invitation, but Gandalf could not postpone it, so he had to stand up and drink a glass of wine.

After a full glass of wine, Gandalf's face flushed and he said, "Thank you, Lord of the Rising Sun, for your hospitality!" I'll do my best to deal with the goblin thing, but I can't guarantee whether it will work out or not! ”

Gandalf did not say that it would be successful, but Zhang Yao was very satisfied with the result.

Zhang Yao waved his hand with satisfaction and motioned for Gandalf to sit down, in fact, as long as Gandalf could agree, Zhang Yao would be eighty percent sure that he would be able to recruit the 100,000 Goblin Legion.

The current goblin clan is not a small job for wizards.

They have tasted the taste of blood, in Zhang Yao's opinion, it is a pity if they can't go to the battlefield, and these bitter haha, who have tasted the taste of loot, it is also difficult to return to the moment of digging and eating in the yellow earth.

Zhang Yao smiled and drank several times more with Gandalf, the magic ring in his hand flashed with golden light, shaking Frodo, who was sitting next to Gandalf, a little unable to open his eyes.

For Zhang Yao, Frodo is afraid and very, originally in Frodo's heart, he is the only one, the only person in the whole world who can approach the magic ring, just like the savior is indispensable.

But Zhang Yao's appearance broke the illusion in Frodo's heart, and the magic ring was like a Yan'er returning to the forest in Zhang Yao's hands, which made Frodo feel incredible at the same time, but also had a bad feeling for Zhang Yao in his heart.

"Take the Ring's Hatred, Kill Tuk's Hatred. Empire of the Rising Sun, I am inseparable from you! Frodo was like a child who had been robbed of his beloved toy, his heart was full of hatred.

"Frodo, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Frodo was a little stunned, Aragon, who was sitting and chatting with Eowwen, pulled the corner of Lafrodo's clothes.

"No, nothing!" Frodo stuffed a loaf of bread in his mouth, hiding the urge to kill.

Aragorn didn't observe Frodo's expression, and he didn't care about it after hearing it, and whispered to Iowen again, causing Iowen to laugh and laugh.

Frodo gulped down the bread with a look of chewing wax.

In Frodo's mind, the compromise of Gandalf's people was undoubtedly a betrayal of the old oath.

What guards the Lord of the Rings, what a great mission from heaven. These people don't care about this at all, they're all depraved!

The more Frodo thought about it, the more resentful he became, and he looked at Zhang Yao, who was chatting with Gandalf, Abu and Caigoras, who were snatching food from each other, and Iowen and Aragoras laughing. His whole world was falling apart, and his companions had given up their protection of the Ring for some ridiculous reason.

"Unforgivable, unforgivable, you will pay!" Frodo's hands were clenched, his fingers sinking deep into the bread and still unaware.

"Your Majesty, I'm very curious about why you are not under the control of the Ring!" After three rounds of drinking, Gandalf asked Zhang Yao with his pipe in his mouth.

As Gandalf spoke, the whole banquet fell silent, Frodo lowered his head and pricked up his ears, he seemed to be indifferent, but he was actually the most concerned about this issue among the people present. Even his level of concern surpassed Gandalf's curiosity**.

Everyone's eyes looked at Zhang Yao, Zhang Yao raised the magic ring in his hand for everyone to see clearly, and said with a smile: "Sauron is a guy who is good at manipulating people's hearts, but I have a secret weapon, and anyone who tries to manipulate me will return in vain!" So the Lord of the Rings is in my hands, and your mission is complete. And I also have a wonderful idea to forge a second time with the Ring to create a brand new ring! ”

Zhang Yao said three points and seven points, which caused several people in Alagon to exclaim.

The original owner of the Ring was Solo, and in addition to Sauron, the Lord of the Rings had several masters.

It is well known that all of these masters, with the exception of Frodo, were seduced by the power of the Ring and gradually degraded. For thousands of years, there has only been one person who can despise the power of the Ring so much, Zhang Yao, let alone forging the Ring for the second time.

"It's amazing, and I wouldn't have believed it was true if it weren't for the fact that I've seen it all these days. I'm sure it must be a treasure that has been handed down from ancient times, otherwise it would be impossible to stop Sauron's power! ”

Gandalf was full of sighs, looking at the magic ring that Zhang Yao wore on his hand, Gandalf couldn't find enough words to describe it except for the word magic.

Gandalf and the others were amazed, with the example of this reality in front of them, and the existence of the devil Hedlam. None of the Five of the Rings suspected that Zhang Yao would lie, after all, the reality was in front of him.

"It turned out to be a secret treasure that blocked the power of the Ring!" Frodo bowed his head absentmindedly, and since he didn't need to protect the Ring himself, Frodo found that everyone was not paying attention to him.

"What can a useless, incompetent little hobbit do!" Frodo smiled self-deprecatingly, the loss of the Ring meant that Frodo had lost all of his value. Frodo couldn't help but wonder if he should go back to the Shire, he was no longer needed here, and the Lord of the Rings had a new owner.

"Charles! No, I don't want to go back! I'm going to be a hero, I can't go back! ”

Frodo firmly rejected the idea of going home, and as soon as this idea appeared, Frodo seemed to have found a pillar in his life, and another thought came to his mind.

"If that person doesn't have a secret treasure, shouldn't the Ring be back in my hands?"

The thought that suddenly arose flashed through his mind, and in Frodo's gaze, the Ring seemed to beckon to him, praying to return to his hand.

Frodo's eyes flashed with a strange light, and what no one noticed was that the magic ring that Zhang Yao was wearing on his hand was also shining with an imperceptible glow at this moment.
