Chapter 690
"Ahem, well, it's actually a long story."
Glancing at everyone, and then exchanging a look with Chapman without a trace, Xia Dong's brain teaser had to start into story-making mode.
Since he was also guarding against Gandalf, he would definitely not be able to directly entrust his own side with his tasks and goals now.
So, no matter how incredible the story was, he could only talk nonsense, "Actually, those of our companions have been continuing to travel since they separated, because they overheard about the white-robed wizard, so they went to visit, and then the two sides may have had a little dispute over whether they could visit, and then there was a little skirmish accidental, Ha Lu Ha ......"
A little controversy?
And then there was a skirmish?
Destroyed the entire territory or was it just a skirmish?
Such a light and clever remark suddenly made everyone feel a little speechless, especially the members of the Fellowship of the Ring, and a thought arose in their hearts: this mage seems to be not only powerful in magic, but also in this work of reversing black and white.
Then, the meeting ended abruptly, or rather for Shadon and Chapman.
They were respectfully but resolutely invited to a separate place to rest, leaving behind the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring and Gandalf.
Xia Dong could think of it even with his toes, these people must be ready to talk about themselves.
However, he was not worried, as he had already ordered an invisible guard to follow Gandalf, and as long as the other party was still communicating in words, he would be able to understand the contents.
Ten minutes later, the so-called lounge.
Leaning on the big tree behind him, Xia Dong looked up at the star-like lights in the air, and suddenly felt a little unhappy, "These guys are really unsightly, if it weren't for us, it is estimated that the Lord Ring would have been taken away by the Ring Spirit a long time ago, and it was our efforts to help them get through all kinds of difficulties along the way, but now they actually let us live in this kind of place?" ”
Hearing his complaint, Chapman, who was sitting cross-legged next to him, smiled slightly and answered indifferently, "Mr. Xia is angry, this is probably just their custom, compared to me, I am more worried about their attitude." ”
"This is also something that can't be helped, who told the heart of the world that we didn't arrange an identity for us, if it were us, we would have some scruples about this kind of guy who suddenly appeared and was powerful." Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Dong stretched out his hand and peeled the bark of the tree boringly, "Anyway, we don't have any malice, as long as we follow them to destroy the magic ring." ”
After a moment of silence, Chapman suddenly proposed, "Why don't we take Frodo to Mount Doom alone?" Along the way, the others didn't do anything other than slow us down, so it was better to leave them behind, and then we could speed up much faster. ”
Although there was a heartwarming expression on his face, Xia Dong couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.
But will they agree? If you look at the look in their eyes, I don't think they would have allowed us to leave with Frodo at all, and it would be safer to have them in the Dark Lord of the Darkest Lord, especially Gandalf, who may have the key in the original plot in his hands. ”
Shaking his head, Chapman suddenly drew a rudimentary map on the ground with his hand, "Mr. Xia, you see, according to the summary of information collected by our side and another group during this time, it can be roughly concluded that the only enemy in this world is the Dark Lord, and its territory is here, the so-called Mordor, not long ago, Gandalf confirmed that Saruman had taken refuge in Sauron, and his Isengard was here. ”
Raising his eyes to look at Xia Dong, Chapman poked two more dots on the map, "This is the Valley of the Holy Helm, very close to Isengard, and this is probably Minas Stirris, the capital of Gondor, and very close to Mordor. ”
After a pause, he stretched out his hand to draw a hill to the east of the map, "This is our destination, the Doomsday Volcano that can destroy the Ring, and based on these clues, I think the original plot should have developed like this: the Fellowship of the Ring did not enter the Moriah Mine at that time, but took a detour through the Rohan Pass, and was discovered by Saruman, so they were chased by the other party's army. ”
"Then the Fellows of the Ring fled into the Valley of the Holy Helm, and after defending themselves, they reached Minas Stirris, where they also encountered Sauron's army, defeated the Volcano Doom that they had entered before defeating it, and destroying the Ring."
After listening to his analysis, Xia Dong frowned and pointed to Isengard's location.
"If that's the case, then now that Saruman has been wiped out by us, and the Fellowship of the Ring has left the Moriath Pits, does that mean that this battle in the Valley of the Holy Helm will not happen?"
Nodding, Chapman replied, "Yes, my master and they have come to the same conclusion, so now they have decided to leave only Mister Balat and his henchmen in the Valley of the Holy Helm, while the rest of them will rush to Minastiris, and if our guess is correct, they may be able to join in the destruction of the Ring." ”
"But they'll be affected by the Ring." Xia Dong still remembers the way everyone was bewitched before.
The saviors have a lot of strength, and if any of them hit their companions back, it would be a big trouble, so Xia Dong had a lot of worries about letting them get close to the ring.
"Yes, but they can also be separated from us, they just need to attack Mordor head-on to attract the attention of the Dark Lord, and then we will take the opportunity to take Frodo into the volcano, and then the mission should be completed smoothly."
Speaking of this, Chapman's words changed again, "But the Doomsday Volcano is not only surrounded by orcs, but also the undead swamp of the dead as a natural danger, if we still follow this so-called Ring team, it will be very troublesome, on the contrary, if we only take Frodo from the sky, then the undead swamp and the heavy vigilance on the ground will lose our hindrance." ”
Hearing this, Xia Dong also felt very reasonable, but now the key question was: whether he could convince the members of the Fellowship of the Ring, or convince Gandalf.
He thought that these people would probably be adamantly opposed, especially if he had just told a lie with very little credibility.
He even doubted that if the idea of solo flying was brought forward at this time, would it be counterproductive, and would it directly make the two sides tear their faces, although the strength of these guys is not strong, but God knows if there is any special way to cause trouble for that eccentric Gandalf and Queen Hirono?
He didn't want to be the enemy of both sides of this world at the same time.
As if understanding his concerns, Chapman suddenly said softly: "Actually, it's not that complicated, as long as we can convince Frodo, and then rush to Mordor as quickly as possible, I believe they won't have time to do anything, besides, the team over there will also be people to pick us up." ”
"I've read your profile, and it seems that you have a skill that can make your companions and yourself invisible, and with this skill, I think the only one who can spot us is the Dark Lord - Sauron."
