"Smashed?"

Shalin smiled: "I'm very good at this, whether it's an ogre or an oak in front of me, they can't withstand my hammer." ”

She also looked behind her, and then lowered her voice and whispered: "Actually, King Oak was also killed by me with a hammer, hehe, but I can't let Thorin lose face, so I didn't dare to say it." ”

Townwend: "...... You can see it. ”

In fact, all the dwarves, including Thorin, could see it, after all, Thorin just jumped up and slashed someone's knee, how could King Oak die so easily.

It's just that everyone knows it.

"What about after the smashing?" Sarin Road.

"After that—" Townsend paused, leaned closer, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "I need you to do something more important." ”

"That's what you command." Shalin was a little strange at Townsen's sudden lowering of his voice.

"If nothing else, I'll find a ring on the corpse." Townsend whispered, "Then, I'll put it on." ”

"That's what you just talked about mysteriously with the wizard god?" Shalin said suspiciously: "You need me to protect you, don't let others snatch it away?" ”

"It's not." Tang Sen said seriously: "I need you to control me as soon as I put on the ring, and then break my finger... Or break your arm, or give the hobbit the ring and your finger to the hobbit. ”

“......”

Shalin turned his head and looked at Tang Sen's expression, with a strange expression: "Are you okay?" ”

"If you don't want it, just give it to the hobbit, or give it to me."

"Don't ask, you just have to do what I say." Without explanation, Townsend continued: "Remember, when I put that ring on, I'm gone, but I'm actually still there, but you can't see it, so you have to be prepared. ”

“...... Yes. Although Shalin was puzzled, she nodded when she saw Tang Sen's solemn expression.

"After you take the ring, I may order you, threaten you, scold you, even attack you, and even tempt you with Mithril." Townsend said expressionlessly, "However, you must not ignore me, and after handing over the things to the hobbit, immediately take him out of here and let Gandalf come to me." ”

"......" sarin's face was full of question marks.

"Do you understand?" Townsend asked.

"I don't understand." Shalin shook his head honestly: "Why are you scolding me... Well, it's nice to tempt me with Mithril. ”

Townsend looked stunned.

"Forget it, I don't expect you to understand, you just tell me if I can do it?"

"Absolutely." Shalin nodded decisively: "Tang Sen, you are too weak, let alone breaking your arm, even if you break your head, it is a trivial matter for me, I am killing King Oak with a hammer!" ”

"......" Tang Sen's face was complicated.

If he had a choice, he really didn't want Shalin to do such a thing, this man's mind was completely one-lined.

But in this world, he can only trust Shalin, at least when Thorin was struggling just now, Sharin's first reaction was to stand in front of him.

"Remember, don't pay attention to anything I say, do anything, you just need to do what I tell you."

"Okay, I'll just think you're farting." Shalin patted his chest: "Just scold me, I don't mind." ”

“...... Also, let's not tell anyone about our conversation now, including Thorin. ”

"I see." Shalin muttered, "Weird. ”

......

Not long after walking along the dark and damp cavern, there was an intermittent and strange singing voice in the distance.

"The ground is as cold as bricks, the hands that bite are rotten, and the skin of the feet is gnawed—"

"The stone has no cracks, it is emptier than the bone, and there is no flesh to suck—"

"It's cold to the touch, and the gas is gone, just to fill the hunger-"

"Gollum-Gollum-"

The three of them looked through the gap in the rock, and saw an underground lake in front of them, and on top of a raised boulder at the edge of the lake, a slender figure was tearing at the corpse of an Orc.

He didn't care about Oak's rancid stench in the slightest, and gulped down on Oak's body.

Tang Sen gestured to Shalin with his eyes, and Shalin understood, and slowly touched between the boulders with the Mithril Hammer on his back.

"Too many bones, baby!"

The thing was still talking to itself in a hoarse, eerie voice: "There's not enough meat!" ”

"Shut up! Peel the skin off! ”

"We have a full harvest today, maybe we can only eat the tender place?"

"It's going to rot, it's going to rot!"

"Gollum-Gollum-"

"What sound do I think I'm hearing?"

"Nobody can find here, no one, surely those Orcs are not dead."

"Nope! No! Someone! I see it! ”

Tang Sen hurriedly looked over, only to see that Sha Lin had already touched the bottom of the boulder where the other party was, and could no longer hide his tracks, so he simply rushed up with a giant hammer.

"Don't-"

Syllable.

The giant hammer that even the trolls could smash and smash fell, and that thing had no room for resistance, and it was too late to even dodge, and it was smashed flat without any suspense.

"That's it!" Shalin retracted his hammer and waved his hand in this direction.

"What the hell? It's too weak, not even as good as Oak. ”

Townsend hurried over and saw the mass of meatloaf mixed with Oak's corpse.

"It's just a pathetic and hateful thing." Tang Sen said: "In the case of a sneak attack, you can't kill him with one move, so it will be surprising." ”

He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, looked at the hobbits behind him, and then at Sharin.

Shalin nodded knowingly, and waved his hammer in motion.

"......" Townsend decisively snatched the giant hammer and retrieved it into the Mithril Ring.

Then, step by step, he walked over to the corpse, and for some reason, whether it was a coincidence or some other reason, he saw a golden light in the rotten flesh.

Tang Sen could no longer look away, he approached in distraction, not at all afraid of the disgusting of the flesh, and rummaged through the golden light.

Rounded, perfect gold ring.

"The One Ring—"

"It's funny, I seem to be overthinking, it's not like I can't resist the temptation of the Ring." ”

He looked at the small ring as if it were a treasure.

"I don't need a hobbit at all, that's too risky, and it's up to me, and only myself, to be able to bring it to Mordor, to Mount Doom to be destroyed."

"Yes... I should wear it, only I am qualified to do so in this world. ”

Townsend muttered to himself, and then without hesitation, he put the One Ring on his finger.

Everything around him suddenly darkened, and Townsend felt as if he could see through everything in the world, he saw through the lake, through the boulders, through the rock walls, through the thick mountains, his gaze crossed to a place beyond the Orc's lair for a moment.

Then he saw five figures, wearing crowns and robes, walking in the gloomy world.

The moment they felt Townessen's gaze, they suddenly turned their heads.

"I... See... It's up! ”
