Chapter 52: Guarding the Ring and Taking the Ring
"Anyway, make an alliance. Donnie lay down on the stone, which was still in the shape of a chaise longue.
"We have been allied for a long time, and the point is, now that the Ring Guard team is saturated, it will make many people jealous. Chen Long said.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, this is the result of our previous desperate efforts, what we should mainly guard against is that there may be a team composed of lone wolves, this kind of team is definitely not weak in combat, but it lacks the help of this world figure, and it is still very hurtful to give you a cold heart. Lu Renjia replied.
"You've been here for a few days, have you figured out what's going on around the village?" Chen Long continued to ask.
"The village is basically surrounded by woods, so it's easy to hide, but we also found at least three lone wolves in the nearby jungle because there are so many of them, and they don't dare to enter the village. Lu Renjia continued.
"Alright, now let's inform each other of the number of people in each position on our respective teams. Our team consists of three melee, one ranged, one medic, and three special personnel, with little combat effectiveness. Chen Long said.
"We have three melee, two remote, two medical personnel, three special personnel. Tang Yuzhe pointed after speaking.
"The combat effectiveness is good, so take a break now and wait for the plot to really begin. With that, Chen Long got up and prepared to walk around the town.
"By the way, what about Gu Yi and Lu Lingyu?" asked Donnie.
Chen Longtou didn't reply, and said, "Learn equestrianism in the Rohan Kingdom." ”
There are many people in both teams who know each other, and there is no pressure to work together, and because they are familiar, they also have an understanding of their respective strengthening.
In Tang Yuzhe's team, Tang Yuzhe and another girl are long-range, and both of them are elf strengthening, which explains why their team was born in Rivendell.
The two muscular men and a tall and thin man are in close combat, one muscular man is wearing heavy armor and holding a large shield, which is obviously tan, and the other muscular man is pure muscle strengthening, taking the path of boxing, and as for the thin and tall man, he is walking the path of knife strengthening.
You may not expect that Lu Renjia and a girl are the doctors in the team, while the others are special department strengthening. However, don't think that doctors have no combat effectiveness, although Lu Renjia is a doctor, he can rank in the top five of the team's combat power with the combat power of the scalpel.
The time soon came to night, and Gandalf also came to find Chen Long and his party, and took Tang Yuzhe and them to sit at a table on the side.
Gandalf said to Chen Long:
"You can come to the front later, and Bilbo will definitely talk about his youthful adventures, and you can listen. Weng Tianyang, come with me, let's go and set off the cannon to help the banquet. ”
With that, he got up and left his seat, went to his carriage, and began to unload firecrackers.
As for the others, Chen Long and a few Lord of the Rings lovers immediately walked to the banquet center, wanting to meet the legend up close, while others were still sitting at the table, drinking ale and eating snacks.
A cannon shot flew into the sky, bursting out with colorful patterns in the sky. Gandalf was surrounded by several young hobbits who were curious about the novelty. At this time, the two hobbits took advantage of Gandalf's inattention, secretly climbed into Gandalf's carriage, hurriedly grabbed one of the largest firecrackers and fled.
"You have it. ”
"No, you can do it. ”
"You come up with the idea, you order. ”
"You take it, you order. ”
The two hobbits did not dare to light it, and the sparks in their hands kept passing, but in the pass, the sparks were getting closer and closer to the firecrackers.
The sparks immediately ignited the firecrackers, and a pair of powerful hands grabbed the hobbit's hand holding the spark.
Weng Tianyang came out of the shadows and said:
"The power of this firecracker is not ordinary, let me come. ”
As he spoke, Weng Tianyang walked out of the tent with the huge firecracker and lit the fuse.
Ten seconds later, the firecracker ascended into the sky.
With a "boom", firecrackers exploded in the air, and then, the sparks condensed into six colorful dragons flying from afar, brushing across the banquet hall. The sight of the dragon striking frightened the hobbits into scattering.
After the dragon blew away, it exploded in the distance, and the atmosphere of the banquet reached its peak.
Gandalf walked over to Weng Tianyang, grabbed the ears of the two little hobbits, and taught them a lesson, Weng Tianyang leaned against the pillar and watched Bilbo slowly stand up and walk to the stage.
Then, after some pleasantries, Bilbo revealed that he was leaving, going on a long trip, and then put on his ring and disappeared.
Seeing Bilbo's sudden disappearance, the hobbits panicked and searched for Bilbo. Gandalf, who was sitting on the side, turned pale and said to the people around him:
"You sit here first, and I'll go back. ”
With that, Gandalf got up and walked away quickly.
"What should I do?" asked Tang Yuzhe.
Those familiar with the plot know that now Bilbo is back in his house, packing up and preparing to leave for Rivendell, while Gandalf sees through the fact that he is using the Lord of the Rings and is waiting in the house.
"Don't be in a hurry, eat something first, and we'll go ten minutes after Frodo gets back to the house." Chen Long replied, and picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
When Frodo turned to the headless fly for a long time before he remembered to go back to the house, Bilbo had already left, and Gandalf was the only one left in the house.
Ten minutes later, the crowd got up and went to Bilbo's house. When Chen Long pushed the door and entered, he happened to bump into Gandalf who was about to push the door open and come out. Gandalf looked very flustered, and when he saw that it was Chen Long and his party, he quickly pulled Chen Long aside and whispered.
"Can the other group next to you be trusted?" asked Gandalf in a low voice.
Chen Long pretended to be puzzled and said:
"What's the matter, they're rangers active near Rivendell, and there are two elves in the team, and we're good friends. ”
Seeing that Chen Long's face was sincere, Gandalf whispered:
"I believe in you. ”
Then, he pulled Chen Long back to everyone, and everyone was also experienced in acting, and they all pretended to be out of the situation.
"I would like to ask all the young and promising rangers to do me a favor, I am going out for a few days, please help me take care of Frodo for me during this time, and I will rush back as soon as possible. With that, Gandalf took out a small bag of gold coins from his pocket and handed it to Chen Long. After seeing Chen Long nodded, he immediately turned over and got on his horse and galloped out.
At this time, Frodo also came out of the house, heard what Gandalf had just said, and welcomed everyone into the house. Although Frodo did a good job of concealing it, everyone was human, and it could be seen that Frodo had something on his mind.
At night, everyone made bunks on the floor in Frodo, and after a night of making do, Frodo also fell asleep with doubts.
Gandalf was surprisingly efficient, and it took him almost two days to return, returning to Bilbo's house in the evening of the third day.
Gandalf tactfully kicked the group out of the house, told them to stand guard outside, and then returned half an hour later, and then closed the door and told Frodo the story.
Half an hour later, Chen led the group back to the Hobbit Hut, Frodo and Sam had already begun to pack their new bags, and Gandalf was sitting at the door of the room, uneasy.
Seeing Chen Long and them coming, Gandalf quickly got up and said:
"Young Rangers, I may have to trouble you again, and ask you to protect Frodo and Sam to Brie's Prancing Horse Tavern, where I will be waiting for you. With that, Gandalf reached into his arms again.
"It's your reward, please protect both of them. With that, Gandalf handed a heavy bag of gold coins to Chen Long.
"Definitely. Chen Long didn't say much, just nodded heavily.
Gandalf glanced at the crowd, nodded heavily, and rode out of town.
In the original plot, Frodo and Sam packed their bags very quickly, but now with the addition of this large gang of rangers, Frodo spent another half an hour filling several large bags of food and handed them to Chen Long.
Frodo was still a little shy, but his eyes were full of determination.
"Let's go, Master Frodo. Sam said.
Frodo looked at the crowd, nodded, and walked to the front.
Such a large group of people left the village at night.
Not long after, a knight dressed in black robes and riding a red-eyed black steed slowly appeared in the Shire, the sword in his hand exuding a curse, and anyone who saw him did not want to approach the evil star. It was the Ringwraith who appeared.
At the beginning of the walk, there is no danger of ringing, the scenery along the way is also good, the most amazing thing is that the two hobbits cooking skills are very good, just ordinary mountain ingredients, to the hands of the two hobbits, you can also taste the comfort of the mountains and seas. This also attracted Lu Lingyu and the cooks in the other team to surround Frodo and Sam and let them teach them cooking skills. The two hobbits are not stingy, and every time they cook, they will carefully teach their skills.
It didn't take long to come to the wheat field at the beginning of the plot.
As he walked, Sam suddenly stopped.
Frodo turned to look at Sam, who said sadly:
"Master Frodo, I've never come this far. Now, I have taken one more step and left my hometown. ”
Seeing Sam's sad expression, Frodo stepped forward to comfort him, and Sam finally had the courage to take that step. The story of the two legends has officially begun.
On the other side, half a month ago, the team of twelve people was also born in Middle-earth. The difference is that the place where they were born was Minas Tirith, the capital of mankind. It is impossible to get from here to the Shire in less than a month, and the chances of joining the Ring Guard are slim to none.
However, the team did not intend to join the Middle-earth faction, but to join the Mordor forces on the condition that the Ringwraith be created. They all have a common characteristic, they are all smaller and stronger, after understanding the manufacturing method of the ring spirit, it is likely to be able to improve the bond of the twelve of them, so that the power transmission is faster, and the person who receives it is stronger.
Gondor was very close to Mordor, and after showing his strength to the orcs, they were accepted by Sauron. Want to get the way to make the Ring? Yes, on the condition that you exchange it for the Ring.
