Chapter 751: Free Travel
"They're crowding you out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiaohua was a little indignant when she heard the news, "What an honorable and legendary place the Fellowship Squad is, but they won't let you go, let you only use you as bait. I'm not happy, I'm very unhappy!"
"At least you must look better than a halfling in your makeup as Frodo. Zhao Mai said to Xiaohua: "Don't be a little grumpy. Let me tell you, if it weren't for me, would the Fellowship of the Ring be able to send the Ring to Mount Doom?"
Through Duo Ji'an, Xiaohua also understood the general appearance of Alda's world, so she said, "It's possible. ”
"Then if it weren't for me, would the operation to confuse the enemy be completed?" Zhao Mai stared at Xiaohua, carefully observing her expression. Xiaohua snorted, although she was a little unconvinced, but she still told the truth: "With the strength of the elves, Saruman will not believe it at all." I can't do it without you, okay? But I still feel like you're at a loss. ”
"It's a loss, because you can't follow the Supreme Ring?" Zhao Mai frowned. If there was still a joking feeling in his tone before, now it's gone. "The One Ring is a troublesome thing, and it's no good to be so close. If you've ever continued to look at the One Ring, wishing you had been following the One Ring, and not worrying about someone else holding it, I think you've probably been affected!"
"No!?" Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhao Mai and was stunned, and then said after a while: "Maybe a little bit, but I will definitely follow you, and I won't go anywhere else." I just feel like you're being treated unfairly. ”
"You, aren't you worried that after following the Supreme Ring for a long time, the reserve food will be pumped in your brain, and you will bite the Ring and teleport to the Evil Black Tower, and go to Sauron?"
Reserve grain immediately covered his eyes with two paws, as if his thoughts were said by Zhao Mai and he was a little embarrassed. Xiaohua thought about it for a while, and finally laughed out loud. "Well, I see what you mean. If you can't trust your companions, the Fellowship of the Ring will lose its meaning. Too many distractions are more likely to lead to problems, isn't it?"
"Almost. Zhao Mai said: "Gandalf's timely return shows that the inertia of this world is still very large. He was supposed to have escaped from Saruman's hands before the meeting, but was dragged to the present. Notice what he said, it was after Saruman left the meeting that he was locked up at the top of the Ozak Tower in a fit of rage, giving him a chance to escape. Before that, Saruman had two apprentices by his side. I suspect that one of them was the Traveler, and that some method had an effect on Saruman, and then Gandalf. As soon as Saruman went on his own, things began to change like a spring. ”
"If you don't say it, I'm almost forgotten, our opponent is the Traverser, not Sauron......" Xiaohua stroked her cheek with one hand, her big eyes narrowed: "How did I forget such an important thing, could it be that I was really affected by the Supreme Ring?"
"There's a high chance, and the impact must have happened before the Wormheart Ring was built, because I was already able to protect you after that. Zhao Mai said: "The power of the Ring is always acting silently, and no one knows when it will be affected. I've been tempted by the Lord of the Rings many times, so I've forged the Worm Heart Ring so that the effects don't intensify. However, how to get rid of the influence of the previous ring requires its own thinking and efforts. ”
"Wang!" the reserve grain bit the tail of the gardener dragon and tugged lightly. Xiaohua knew what the big dog meant, so she nodded and said, "Zhao Mai, since you have made a decision, we will definitely follow you." Besides, without the Fellowship of the Ring, we can move more freely, right?"
"That's right. Zhao Mai touched Xiaohua's hair dotingly: "Okay, I'm going to let Elrond put on makeup for you." I'll learn by the way, and see how I can turn such a pretty little face of yours into Frodo. ”
Elrond was a man of many talents and ingenuity, making only a mask that could change her appearance and bringing it to Flower, and then wrapping her in an elven cloak. Unless you lie down and look closely, it's really hard to tell the difference between Xiaohua and Frodo. He called his son, Elladan, the eldest of the twin brothers, and their younger sister, Alwyn. Elladan was tasked with dressing up as Gandalf and accompanying Zhao Mai on his journey. Since he also has a twin brother, it will be difficult for everyone to find out that he has left as long as he changes his clothes and shakes around a few more times, so he is another excellent candidate to carry out the deception.
Elrond watched the crowd in silence, Gandalf and Frodo were there, they didn't speak, everything was eerily quiet. In the gloomy room, there was only the sound of packing up, checking weapons, and heavy breathing. The atmosphere was so oppressive that it seemed that the power of the Ring had begun to quietly affect everyone again. Zhao Mai suddenly burst out laughing, and then said to Gandalf and Frodo, "Now that we're leaving, you two should find a place to hide, like hide and seek." I wonder if there's a little dark room in such a beautiful place as Rivendell where you two can be locked up?"
"Rivendell doesn't have a dark cottage, but it does have a wine cellar. "The cellar has been closed due to the war, but it's okay to open it for the two of them. ”
"Then don't get drunk. If I put the ring on in a daze, my strategic cover will be meaningless. Zhao Mai took a deep breath and said to Frodo: "Little guy, your duty is to take the Ring to the Doom Volcano and throw it in, not to bring the entire team over. This team is for you, and you must remember that. When you're in Mordor and don't know what to do, or when you're hungry and thirsty and need help, go find a large mushroom that is almost two meters tall. That stuff doesn't taste good, but it's edible, and it can protect you from the elements, remember?"
Frodo nodded.
"There is a secret passage to Mordor to avoid enemy surveillance, just south of the Cave of Minas, along the Shadow Mountains, to find a land of hundreds of mushrooms, where is the entrance to the cavern, and opposite is the territory of Mordor's Blackfoot. If you choose this route, I will arrange for someone to pick you up and take you to Mount Doom. It's up to you to make this decision, because you don't know what I'm going to do and I don't know what you're going to do since we're about to separate. But I can assure you that if I detect that Saruman has seen through our plans, I will immediately launch an all-out attack on him and continue to cover your movements. ”
"Thank you. Frodo said.
"Be careful along the way, don't take the lives of others, especially Frodo, who will always have a dark effect on your psyche. The more powerful the person, the more the Lord of the Rings will spare no effort to exert influence, so you have to believe in yourself and keep standing firm in your beliefs. ”
"It's almost dawn, and you should go. Elrond said, "I'd love to get together with you more, but time is running out. The horses are ready, and you guys are walking now that they are both unobtrusive and obtrusive, and work best. ”
Zhao Mai picked up Xiaohua and put it in front of him, and the two rode a horse together. Reserve looked at them with some envy, but now they could only run with the horses. At least when there were few people, it was good to jump up and let Zhao Mai hug it together. Fake Gandalf jumped on another horse with great skill, and when he was reprimanded by Elrond, he obediently pretended to be hurt and tired. The group stepped on the horse's hooves, and under Elrond's watchful eye, they tapped into the morning mist and left Rivendell.
