It is an indisputable fact that Saruman was a genius, but at the same time his strength was not as grand as his intelligence.

When he found out that the elven king Serdan gave the ring of fire, one of the three rings of the elves, to Gandalf, the first to arrive in Middle-earth but did not get anything, the white-robed wizard was simply jealous, so he was desperate to get a ring, after Gandalf found out that the resurrected Sauron appeared in Dolgotto, he privately began to search for the whereabouts of the Ring in Dolgodo, and then led the White Council to expel Sauron from Dolgoth, so that Sauron could grow his power elsewhere and have the opportunity to reveal the Ring.

This was where Gandalf first showed his suspicions, and it was from then on that he began to study how to create the Ring.

Through the Crystals of Truth found in Isengard's Tower of Ozak, he learned about the ancient Númenor Empire, Gondor and Moria, and presumably learned some of the ways to forge the Ring.

In the end, he may have referred to some of the craftsmanship of the Noldor clan to create his own magic ring, and also improved his skills to a certain extent, such as strengthening the power of the spirit of speech, but the magic power of this ring is equivalent to the three of the elf clan, but it is far from the Supreme Ring.

As for the Ring of Words and Spirits that he created, although he was not satisfied with himself, it was already a rare treasure for the reincarnators, and compared to the Ring of Domination forged from the use of qi as raw materials, this Ring of Words and Spirits was a ring of pure power.

Samsarasa does not need to bear the fate of a race in this world. The Ring of Pure Power has a greater effect than the Ring of Domination.

Therefore, after Xiao Lan obtained this Ring of Words from Saruman's corpse, he directly gave it to the female knight who could maximize its strength. The power of faith can be greatly increased through words, and it can also be better used in the cup of holy blood, and Flora does not pretentiously refuse, this can bring a sense of security to her treasure, she does want to test her "heart" in the way of the dead, but you must know that after Sauron's recovery, the evil that is about to move everywhere has crawled out of the original dark corners, and the ring spirit that has obtained a flying mount soaring in the sky is also wandering in the sky. Zhao Xuankong, who gave the ring to Sauron, didn't know if he had accepted any other tasks, since it was possible to encounter these characters, it was absolutely necessary to maintain the "strength" to fight against them, at least until the reinforcements arrived.

And after making this decision, they rushed back to the Valley of the Holy Helmet first. In order to save time, Xiao Lan was still transformed into an air flight like when he came to Isenger, of course, before leaving, Gandalf was very careful to put away the crystal ball of true knowledge that was firmly covered with rune cloth and the ring of fire that he took off from his hand, these things that are very dangerous for everyone should not be taken lightly in any way.

The return trip was fast, and the sun had just set when we set off from the Valley of the Holy Helm. When he returned to the Valley of the Holy Helmet, Dongfang had just revealed a hint of fish belly white. But the fact that this short night happened was too much and too alarming.

- Of course, Xiao Lan is definitely not the only one who is busy.

When the Giant of Light crossed the sky and landed on the ground in front of the Valley of the Helm, what he saw at a glance were two improvised burial mounds built for the dead soldiers, and some of the orcs' bodies had been thrown into the woods that sealed the Valley of the Helmet, but the remaining part was being collected by the elves and humans, but it was clear that their eyes revealed a more urgent emotion.

Among them, Xiyoton, who was still standing outside in military uniform, stood out in particular conspicuousness. He was supposed to go to rest after giving the order to send out the victorious men and assign them the task of collecting the corpses, and he fought for a whole day and suffered a lot of wounds. This old man, who was only a human and was old, couldn't withstand such a toss, but at this moment, the tired king was obviously called up in the middle of his sleep, and after waiting for Xiao Lan to land on the ground to relieve his transformation, he rushed over and asked, "...... Gondor sent a beacon for help, could it be that something happened? ”

The group couldn't help but fall silent, Gandalf and Xiao Lan glanced at each other, and then the wizard opened his mouth with a heavy heart.

"The worst news is that Sauron has retrieved the One Ring, and his army is closing in on Minas Tirith." There is no hiding it, because it is meaningless, and warriors who do not know what they are fighting for will not be able to exert their true strength, "Gondor cannot stop the army of the Witchcraft Castle led by the Witch King of Agmar himself, and the hussars of Rohan must go to the aid, and must arrive before the shadow of Mordor covers the White City, otherwise Middle-earth will completely lose hope of being able to stop Sauron!" ”

The Hussar King's pupils contracted to the extreme in an instant, and it took several seconds to sort out what Gandalf had said, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly dryly, "Is this true?" ”

"There's no need for me to lie to you." Gandalf sighed, and then described the general story in the briefest of words.

He talked about the death of Saruman on the Ozakta, Xiao Lan used the Crystal Ball of Truth to see the Minas Cave send troops, Sauron reclaimed the Ring to attack the spirit that was connected to him, and his Ring of Fire was corrupted into the fallen Ring of Darkness, and also talked about the sudden appearance of the Ring of the Ring and Aragorn's decision to go to the path of the dead, and as he spoke, several key figures also gathered together.

"Sauron has taken back the Ring?" Halda's reaction was a bit fierce, "That means the Empress's Water Ring will also lose its effect, oh no! Once the Golden Forest loses the protection of the Ring, the Mordor forces of Dolgodo will definitely take the opportunity to attack Lothlorin! ”

Legolas came forward to calm the emotions of this fellow elf, and also recounted his worries about the north, but he was undoubtedly more optimistic in comparison, "Far water can't save near fire, compared to us, you at least have a chance to return to the Golden Forest, although I don't recommend you to do this, two hundred elven archers are a strong team, but the time left for Sauron can only give you the choice to return to the Golden Forest or go to Gondor, compared to dealing with the enemy forces that may have surrounded Lothlorin, They may be more able to exert their power on the battlefield of Gondor. ”

Halda was silent, as if she was beginning to think about the difference, what kind of choice should be made, and at the same time, Xiao Lan noticed Chu Xuan's gaze.

There was still no expression, no disappointment, excitement, fear, or joy, and the usual frenzy did not float on his face, he just quietly looked at the people who were thinking about the problem, like a calm watch of all the high gods in the world...... But he didn't do anything, not even say a word, just stood there quietly and watched everything.

Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself.

It's a noble sentiment, but it's a pity that he can't do anything.

Except for Chu Xuan himself, Tom seemed to be cleaning up the corpses with the rest of the soldiers, and none of the rest of the demon team members were by his side, and he didn't know if he was dead or resting in the city.

Things have developed to this point, the situation is completely out of his control, the wise man, in fact, even the strongest Xiao Lan, or Elon, Galadriel, Gandalf they have no ability to interfere with this grand fate, all kinds of cause and effect entanglement and convergence into a whirlpool has made all of them in it unable to get out, can only be pushed by it towards the end that seems to be only dark......

How can I break the game? Including Chu Xuan and Xiao Lan, everyone was thinking about this question.

It is only expedient to gather an army against Sauron, even if they work hard to defend Minas Tirith, it is only a slight blow to the Dark Lord's sharpness, as long as the Balado fortress behind the Black Gate still exists, Sauron can gather a strong army extremely quickly and continuously, they may be able to rely on will and courage to hold the White City, but in any case, it is impossible to attack the front of the Black Gate to defeat Sauron, if they can, they can do so long before Sauron gets the Ring.

――So, do you want to cheat or not?

Almost subconsciously, a phantus appeared in Xiao Lan's hand: a treasure that could reverse time and go back to the past and create an impossible miracle.
