A monster alone is a monster, and everyone gets it when they see it.

But if the monster is under human control, and the person who controls it is still a cute beautiful girl, then the monster's positioning will change from "twisted dark creatures" to "reliable repellent creatures".

Of course, the real situation is not so absolute, and harmless monsters are not uncommon.

However, as far as the Middle-earth world where it is located at this moment, the appearance is a great determination of the essence to a certain extent, because this world does not follow the theory of evolution but the real god created the world, and the creatures created by the main god when he created the world are all true, good, and beautiful in some sense, at least in the survival of the jungle, they will not make unnecessary killing, but after being eroded by the dark power of the fallen demon king Mokoth, they will become twisted and hideous monsters, just like the half-orcs who were once elves but were tortured by the dark power, Fallen humans also exhibit distorted traits, i.e., sages of Saruman's level are able to retain their appearance even after the fall, unaffected by the distorted minds of the darkness.

The alien born as a killing machine is 100% in line with the setting of "monster", but the members of the Empress Guard who appeared immediately are not among them, although the armor and weapons on her body are fierce and terrifying, it can still be seen that she is not distorted by the darkness...... At least on the surface.

So seeing that the obedience between the girl and the alien did not look like it was built with terror, the elven prince slowed down his posture slightly, and then asked suspiciously, "...... Girl, is this monster controlled by her? ”

"You can think so. In a sense...... For the de facto supreme ruler belongs to me, or to my daughter. Xiao Lan nodded lightly.

"Daughter?" Everyone's expressions froze slightly.

Monsters are no longer dangerous if they are controlled, but he doesn't intend to describe them in too many words. The truth is most convincing when you see it with your own eyes, so when the group couldn't help but be surprised by the word "daughter", he reached out and touched the royal guard who walked obediently in front of him, and linked to the empress Kira in the depths of the lair through the spiritual network, and after a few seconds he sighed gently.

"I haven't seen you for a month, but it's better than I expected," Mato muttered to himself in a slightly surprised voice. A holographic map appeared on the Nightmare Mirror that appeared in his hand, and then after everyone's eyes were attracted to it, he said, "The last time I visited, this place was occupied by orcs and trolls. The roads are also intricate and difficult to identify, but now that the orcs have been completely wiped out and all the roads in the pit have been fully discovered, we can now choose to take the more convenient and direct path......"

"This is where we are now. Not far from the Porta di Turin. Moria's hologram lit up with a string of dots representing their group's location, and then another dot lit up on the map.

"This is the Hall of History, and the resting place of Bahrain," said the Majin, his gaze gently swept over the somewhat depressed Golden Bolt, and then marked a direct path on the map with a red line, "This is the fastest way to get there." Follow this royal guard and let our dwarven prince survive this. Then you go straight to the Kesar Dom Bridge and leave Moria...... No, it won't take that long, even a shortcut would take a whole day to get through the mines, and I'll make peace with you when you reach the History Hall. ”

A certain word in this sentence was a little surprising, and Frodo, who had been held in Xiao Lan's hand before, swallowed his saliva, "Will it be?" Do you mean we're going to be separated temporarily? ”

"Any questions?" The demon asked rhetorically, "I'm going to go to the deepest lair, it's not easy to gather an army, and it would be a waste of time to let you come together." ”

"But this ......"

Frodo seemed to want to say something, but Aragorn walked aside at this time and patted his head, and then looked at Xiao Lan who had already put away the Nightmare Mirror with some seriousness, "I still want to know one thing before parting, you said that this place was occupied by orcs before, and you can't completely clean them up with such a large underground space, right?" ”

Xiao Lan patiently heard what he said, and then spread her hands with a chuckle, "Maybe it hasn't been cleaned up, but you don't need to worry about it." It's not just one or two legions that can be called legions, they haven't done anything this month, characters like trolls and orc chieftains have already been wiped out, maybe the fish that slipped through the net in some dark corner is not a threat at all, or do you not have the confidence to protect yourself and the others? ”

Aragorn was silent, then sighed slightly, "...... I see. ”

Xiao Lan was very satisfied with this result, and then he didn't waste any more time, and after continuing to explain the rest of the trivial matters, he directly turned around and jumped off the cliff that the royal guards jumped from, and took the fastest shortcut to the deep lair while the rest of the people continued to move forward.

Not just for the sake of rallying troops, but also for another purpose.

In the past nearly a month, Kira's results have indeed been much better than he expected, not only have the entire pit been discovered and cleared, the equipment of the Empress Guard has been roughly completed, but also the dwarves' alchemy room has been discovered from a very secret place during this time.

"We're doing well, but in metallurgy we can't match the achievements of our ancestors, and many secrets have been lost. We can craft sturdy armor and razor-sharp swords, but we can no longer craft weapons and armor of the same quality as we did before the Dragon's Strike, and we can only surpass our predecessors in mining and building......" said in Rivendell, as Gold's father, Groin, reminisces.

And the so-called lost technology in his mouth actually exists in this city of the dwarves of Moria, which has been sleeping for thousands of years, and is called by the elves.

Xiao Lan directly issued an order to Kira to gather troops through the spiritual link, so that the ordinary aliens and ordinary queen guards began to gather towards the exit, and the royal guards, who added up to dozens of people, were moving closer to Flora and Aragorn with her, and he himself rushed directly to the key location that the aliens had discovered, which was located behind the bridge of Kaisa Dom and was blocked by a secret door, and if it weren't for an alien who found that the rocks here were slightly different, he would never have found the secret alchemy room, Then with a sword, he broke through the secret door that Kira could not do.

Things went so smoothly that people almost didn't dare to look at it directly, but thinking of the process of killing the Flame Demon and clearing the orcs in the first place, it became a matter of course to get this success at this moment.

This room, which has been sealed in the dust for nearly a thousand years since the resurrection of the fire demon, has a large amount of preliminary refining and a small amount of finished refining Mithril, as well as the forging technology that has been lost in the hands of the current dwarves, and is mainly the most critical and important part of creating an inscription weapon, that can give various effects such as sharpness, tenacity, and circulation.

Xiao Lan unceremoniously received them all into his hands, and planned to make copies of them and give them to the dwarves in exchange for the rest that might be missing, and after completing this part of the action, there was nothing more important for him to take a final look at this secret treasure room, and then he turned around and moved towards the agreed meeting point, his movements in the whole operation were quite fast, but it took him most of the day to come to the end and go back such a wrongful road after all, When he arrived at the Hall of History, he was just in time to catch up with Kira, who had arrived with a group of royal guards, and Aragorn, who was blocking the entrance to the hall.

“…… Hi, I'm back. ”

Walking out of the darkness with silent steps, he looked like he had been reunited after a long absence.

Seeing his appearance, Aragorn and his party couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the elven prince said with some trepidation, "You didn't tell us that there are so many ...... Is it called an alien? This force is indeed strong enough, but are you really sure to control this number? ”

They seemed to have seen the scene of the gathering, and the countless aliens flying on the walls were enough to make people creepy, at least in Xiao Lan's opinion, Jin Li's sadness had been replaced by vigilance, and the other nerves were also tense - this was not a good thing. The Supreme Ring will magnify the dark side of people's hearts, and the vigilance will turn into suspicion, which will then intensify the contradictions, and eventually create rebellion, and a good team will be torn apart and even swords against each other, and now because their willpower is not bad, the impact is not obvious, so Xiao Lan has a great need to let the Supreme Ring not find an obvious opportunity to use.

It's just that having said that, he didn't lie deliberately, "The original words were absolutely fine, but now...... It is not known to what extent the One Ring will be affected. ”

"Completely different from elves, humans, and dwarves, this race has a collective will, and all alien individuals are in principle a doppelganger of the empress, whether the dark side of the heart magnified by the Supreme Ring will exceed the authority of the collective will, even the simulation of my Nightmare Mirror cannot know the outcome, but one thing is that you can rest assured that I will be able to handle whatever happens."

The truth without the slightest ambiguity is fully convincing, and the group of people who are roughly aware of the situation are silent for a while, and then when they are eager to speak, Xiao Lan suddenly frowned, and looked into the darkness beside him with the others-

"My baby, my baby, where is it, where is it? It's ours, it's ours, and we want it...... Monster! Monsters with sharp teeth and claws! We hate him, we hate him, we hate him forever! ”

A loud cry could be heard, and then a petite xenomorph ran out from the direction from which the sound came, but it was not a voice cord that made the sound, but a grotesque creature with a constant struggle, gray glow in his claws, and glowing eyes.

"It's Gollum! It's following us! The elven prince exclaimed, "He escaped from our dark forest, but he didn't expect to come here, and he came out of Rivendell with us, and his grudge against the Lord of the Rings is so strong!" ”

“…… Oops, will we already be exposed? (To be continued......)
