Section 3: Tone, newcomers, Middle-earth style

Truly.

In the story of The Lord of the Rings, the gods have actually maintained a constant focus on the surface world.

They may not take the initiative to interfere and violently and directly reverse the operation of the whole plot. But they will unleash a silent influence at key points to make Iluvita's final script a success.

And Iluvita's script is only one, which is that 'many supernatural races gradually fade away from the land of Middle-earth, and eventually, humans become the sole masters of this land'. The process may not matter, but the result is predestined. Therefore, the elves will go away, the dwarven kingdom will gradually weaken for one reason or another, and the dark creatures led by Sauron will gradually disappear and turn into dust in a series of major events.

This can drag on for a long time—the Fellowship of the Ring can fail, and Sauron can put on the Ring again. But just like the last time it wore the Ring and slaughtered all sides, it was accidentally hit by the Human Prince and cut off its fingers. It will eventually fail, and together with its minions, it will become a story of history.

Unless Morgoth, the symbol of darkness and evil, wins against Iluvita.

But that's not possible.

In a situation where Iluvita already has an absolute advantage, Gandalf, who is still faithfully fulfilling the will of the Supreme God as an extension of Iluvita's will, will surely usher in the next recovery even if he fails and dies.

But......

"We don't need to bother with Iluvita." Chu Xuan shook his head. Gandalf may not actually die, but that doesn't mean he will be resurrected immediately after his defeat. While Iluvita had the ability to directly intervene in the current world, it didn't even bother with the betrayal Saruman, apparently its own superficial rules that forbade the gods from interfering in the Nether at will. We just need to be careful not to make too much of a fuss, and try not to hurt humans outside the battlefield as much as possible. After all, even if Iluvita has locked in the future, we are already in the midst of its creation movement. ”

He stretched out his hand, and a badge that appeared in his pocket at some unknown point appeared in his palm—it was an oriental-style badge, and on top of the badge, there was a blue robe and a pair of crossed staffs.

"The Lord God has assigned us an identity. And in the worldview of the Lord of the Rings, there are five Maia who came to Middle-earth, one in a white robe, two in a blue robe, one in a gray robe, and one in a brown robe. Two of the blue-robed men traveled to the East, and remained unseen until the end of the story. And obviously, the identity that the Lord God has set for us is connected to them. ”

Jiang Yu's pocket—he had arranged a pocket for himself to allow the token to 'appear'—also contained an oriental-style badge of the same specification. And he gently grasped it, and sensed an extremely faint, but very special, and indelible power from it. Obviously, this is supposed to be some kind of token, and judging from the premise that the two wizards are still popular with Valinor even though their whereabouts are unknown, it is clear that their stance is the same as that of Gandalf and Illuvita's big movement.

"It seems that the Lord God has arranged a preset camp for us." Jiang Yu put away the badge. "Phew, I thought the Lord God would directly stuff us into the villain's camp."

The style of painting of the Middle-earth team is a very serious problem.

Even if the Middle-end team is a team that tends to be orderly...... Neutral and good squads,The style of painting is still a very serious problem.。

"There won't be a preset faction for the Sauron side." Chu Xuan shook his head. "People in the play may not know, but for us outside the play, being on the same position as the villain is too self-tied. In the Lord of the Rings worldview, the power of the positive side is actually very large. The Treants can easily destroy Saruman's Eisinger, and the assembled Rohan Cavalry can also crush Mordor's vanguard. The Spirits Legion under Aragorn's command could theoretically help him push his way to the bottom of the Tower of Sauron—

They just lack the opportunity to unite the forces, and this process is destined to be filled by the reincarnation. And most crucially, the complete victory of the dark side is not in line with the theme of this worldview. The most powerful faction is still the gods, and although they will not do anything, they are still the most powerful. Therefore, unless the reincarnation team itself decides to plunge into the darkness, it is unlikely that the main god will make this arrangement. ”

"But Sauron still has an A-rank bounty." Jiang Yu spread his hands. "And I seem to remember, Chu Xuan, you said before that we should be the penultimate or third entry. It doesn't look like what I expected. ”

He saw Chu Xuan frown slightly.

"It was indeed my negligence, I was mistaken. However, this does not affect the current situation - a battle with Tomei is inevitable, and the remaining two teams with even a little bit of intelligence will try to characterize us as the dark forces with a first-mover advantage and trigger a siege on the positive side, even if they can't get immediate contact with Frodo. And in any case, it would be reckless and even stupid to directly confront the positive side. Unless we see the gods as prey from the start, we'd better find our place in the square faction and then try to solve the problems of the other squads. ”

"Hmm......" Zhan Lan cupped her cheeks and thought about it. Is it possible that the main god arranged this team battle. The purpose is to bring the four of us together to fight against Sauron? I think the world we experienced was a world that had changed compared to the original book. If Sauron was doomed to die from the start, how could we have received its bounty? Even if it's a team battle, but all the reincarnators will be closed up when they come, and then treat it negatively, it seems that there is no possibility of a time-limited main quest. Doesn't this mean that the Lord God has tacitly agreed that the Fellowship of the Ring will never succeed in this world line? ”

"Indeed." Chu Xuan nodded. "But a war with East America is still inevitable. If we're the first to come, then I can also try to give the East American team a taste of what it's like to be a thousand people. But we're too late, and we're likely to be passive when we come - Rivendell is mentioned in the Master's prompt, so we should be at the point in time before the Fellowship of the Ring was formed. And our advent point ......"

He looked at the dense forest around the mask, which contained the remnants of ancient ruins.

"It should be near the 'Storm Peak', leaving the Prancing Horse Inn, but not yet to the Misty Mountains, not to the place where we have reached the Rividale and not to cross the Moria Pits. And if it's evening, then maybe we can soon reach the point where Frodo the Ring-bearer is attacked by the Ringwraiths. ”

The sky quietly turned dark, which confirmed his assertions. The battle within the plot is clearly imminent, and the Middle-earth team clearly has the right and must be involved.

At this stage, the discussion is almost over.

And there should only be one or two minutes left before the time node when the main god's light wall is lifted.

So, before Zhu Wen used consumables to put on all kinds of camouflage protection for the reincarnators.

There was still time to turn his attention to the two newcomers who had been put aside by most of the veterans from the beginning, and who were trembling after seeing the veterans' actions, and had obviously had enough of the dismount.

Zhu Wen was in charge of their guidance and explanation just now. And when Jiang Yu's eyes fell on him, it was naturally the time for them to introduce themselves.

"I'm Jiang Zhe...... Lawyer, is this thing called the Lord God, so inexplicable when it catches people? A white-collar worker with a sharp spirit in his bones, he stalked his neck and used a strong tone to hide his inner fear.

"I ...... I'm Ruo Leng, uh, that, that Miao Ruo Leng. I'm an artist...... Although my paintings don't sell much...... "the trembling young woman looks like an ordinary social animal."

They are all people from the original world line. They just came at the wrong time. They were supposed to come and die in Biohazard 2, and now they ...... It's also hard to say if they'll be negative points in teamfights.

"I'm Jiang Yu." So Jiang Yu didn't bother to say anything. "You should already know the general situation. Don't bother us, we'll do our best to protect you until the end of the story. If you don't want to, then it's up to you to protect yourselves, and if you have any problems, go to the Lord God and complain. ”

As soon as the words fell.

The shield of the Lord God disappeared silently. And a cold wind then swept over the ankles of the reincarnations.

Protective measures are working, and intelligence cover is working.

And a value suddenly jumped on the main god's watch.

- [Distance from One Ring Holder: 11.4 km.] 】

The distance is close.

This is the rule of the Lord God.

There must be a clue to the main story near the advent point. At the same time, if you don't take the initiative, most of the time there is a safety period of a few minutes.

"Zhan Lan, start scanning. Look around us, if there is a ringing spirit! ”
