"Are you saying you sensed the movement of the Ring and sensed the forces of darkness at bay, so you came to the Shire?" Bilbo Baggins sat on the couch with Erlang's legs crossed, swallowing a cigar in his mouth, tossing the ring, and speaking very fluently in Shenzhou.

"Uh, yes, and, won't you ask my old man to smoke one?" Gandalf went straight to a chair and sat down.

"You old man? You have drunk the water of the Fountain of Eternal Life, and you still have the face to call yourself an old man? Bilbo Baggins spat dismissively.

"Didn't you also drink the water of the Fountain of Eternal Life? You can call yourself an old man in Shiretown, why can't I? Gandalf retorted, and the two of them had a kind of bad friend.

"Cut!" Baggins raised a middle finger high at Gandalf.

Bilbo Baggins has lived a chic life in the past few decades, and although he only got one-sixteenth of the treasure of the lonely mountain, it is also a considerable amount of wealth, enough for Baggins to be chic for eight lifetimes.

"Anyway, don't you feel the temptation coming from the Lord of the Rings?" Gandalf asked, staring carefully into Baggins' eyes.

"This level of seduction is also tempting?" Baggins said disdainfully, and at the same time, with a wave of his right hand, a green steel sword appeared in his hand, and the blue fighting spirit filled his body.

"Fighting King?" Gan Dao looked at Baggins incredulously.

"I've drunk the water of the Fountain of Immortality, and I've practiced for decades, and I'm too sorry for myself if I can't break through the Dou King, cultivating Dou Qi not only exercises the body, but also tempers the spirit and tempers the will, and now, do you still think that this magic ring can still tempt me?" Baggins asked rhetorically.

Gandalf nodded nonchalantly.

"Old friend, what if the dark forces are resurrected and ready to move? With that lord here, the forces of darkness can't get out of the Plains of the Dagorian War. Also, I've heard that the Lord has his eye on the Plains of Gogolus to the south of Mount Doom. ”

"It is said that the Gagoros Plain is close to the Doomsday Volcano, and for thousands of years, under the accumulation of volcanic ash, the land is quite fertile, and it is a good piece of fertile land developed there, which is described in the idiom of Shenzhou, that is, plugged into the south of the Yangtze River. With the Shenzhou Empire's attachment to the fields, the dark power will not move, and if it moves, it will be directly destroyed if it is not good, so ah, old friend, don't worry too much. Baggins said nonchalantly.

"I'm still a little relieved, in recent years, everyone has been obsessed with the power of the Divine Empire, and the improvement of strength, but they have ignored the dark forces hidden in the shadows......" Gandalf said with a worried face, but was interrupted by Baggins before he could finish speaking.

"Mordor's army of orcs? Hmph, what if the orcs can form an army of 100,000 or a million? The Shenzhou Empire is constantly expanding its territory and turning its territory into fields, and it is worried that there will not be enough cattle. Baggins said dismissively.

"When I say the dark forces, I don't just mean Mordor's army of half-beasts and their monarch Sauron, I'm worried about Saruman, the development of Middle-earth over the past decades and the emergence of endless powerhouses have made Saruman bent on power, and I am afraid that he will be unstable in his heart, so he will be tempted by Sauron and fall into darkness." Gandalf simply voiced his fears.

"Just this ring? It can't even tempt me, but it can still tempt Saruman? Saruman is a white-robed wizard, the speaker of the Holy White Council, his current strength must be at the level of a magister even if he is not a great mage, do you think he will still be tempted by Sauron? Baggins looked at Gandalf incredulously.

"The grievances between you wizards are beyond the scope of my intervention as a hobbit, and the truth is usually not clear, so I have to go with the flow, Gandalf, don't blame me, I have no intention of interfering in the internal strife between you wizards, if you are really worried about the awakening of the dark forces, and also worried about Saruman, you should not come to me, but to the Lord in Chang'an City." Baggins pointed to the east.

"You said you didn't want to give up this ring, right?" Gandalf didn't want to talk nonsense with Baggins anymore and asked straight to the point.

"Snort~" Baggins sneered disdainfully, and with a flick of his fingers, he flicked the Supreme Ring into Gandalf's hand.

"So happy?!" Gandalf couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Baggins so happy.

Baggins rolled his eyes at Gandalf widely, extremely no

Said disdainfully: "A ring, if you want to say that the Shenzhou Empire wants to dominate the world, I believe it, you say that you can rule Middle-earth with just one magic ring, and you don't believe it if you are a normal person." Do you really think that this magic ring is the legendary dragon slaying knife, which contains the eighteen palms of the dragon descending and Wu Mu's suicide note, which can command the world and dare not obey? ”

"You listen less to martial arts scripts." Gandalf was speechless.

In recent decades, the Shenzhou Empire has spared no effort to promote its culture, and as an extremely barren continent of entertainment activities, martial arts, fairy tales, Western fantasy, etc., once released, it has attracted great enthusiasm from the residents of Middle-earth.

Gandalf caressed the ring for a long time, touching the ring with his own hands, and you can indeed hear the demon's whisper, tempting you to fall into darkness. But this temptation is too weak, not to mention high-level magicians, even junior magicians can be immune to such a weak temptation, that is, they can lure and seduce magic apprentices.

Gandalf finally understood why Baggins was so dismissive. There was a faint conjecture in his heart, it was not Sauron who seduced Saruman, but Saruman who seduced Sauron.

"There are strong orcs in Middle-earth who can use fighting energy." Gandalf said suddenly, this is why Gandalf suspected that Saruman had fallen to the dark forces, and only he could create strong orcs who could use fighting spirit.

"A strong orc who can use fighting spirit?" Baggins stood up with a thud, and the disdain on his face disappeared in an instant.

Strong orcs and strong orcs who use vindictive spirit are not a concept at all, if they are just simple strong orcs, then there is no need to worry at all, the Terrans, elves and dwarves in Middle-earth can completely beat them; However, if the orcs can cultivate Dou Qi, then they can also cultivate magic, and their combat power will undoubtedly be greatly improved, and the comparison of combat effectiveness and the war situation will return to the past.

"Are you sure?!" Baggins asked, staring at Gandalf intensely.

"Sure and sure, I met them in the Shadow Mountains and the southwest of the Fagon Forest during my travels to Middle-earth, they are very cunning, very strong, and their IQ has also increased significantly compared to the orcs, you know, the east side of the Shadow Mountain Range is Mordor, and the southwest of the Fagon Forest is against Saruman's Esinger Fortress." Gandalf affirmed.

"Gandalf, there are some things that you can't speculate about and talk about." Baggins' face was unusually serious.

Gandalf's words are already very clear, it is almost clear that Saruman and Sauron are colluding together, Sauron has been asleep, just woke up in the form of a spirit, even if he creates an army of orcs, he can't create magic and fighting qi suitable for orc cultivation for a while, and Saruman, who has studied magic and fighting spirit for nearly a hundred years, has found a set of magic fighting qi system suitable for orc practice.

Don't underestimate the wisdom and knowledge of a wizard, especially a white-robed wizard.

"Gandalf, have you ever reported this kind of thing to the Divine Empire?" Baggins asked.

"How can it be reflected without evidence?" Gandalf asked rhetorically, then said, "That's why I desperately asked to destroy the Ring first. So, old friend, after 80 years, can we travel to the mainland together? ”
