Chapter 105: A Very Normal Stupid Thing (Two in One)
Ringing Spirit.
After the rings that walked in the netherworld, after Tang Sen put on the Supreme Ring and entered the netherworld, they revealed their original form, and sensed the sudden appearance of Tang Sen in the netherworld.
and the Supreme Ring worn in Tang Sen's hands, even in the gray netherworld, it is still golden.
Before Tang Sen could react more, the gloom suddenly disappeared, and the scene by the underground lake suddenly appeared in front of him, and Tang Sen reflexively looked at the Supreme Ring.
Gone, along with the finger with the ring, no, with his left arm, gone.
"N-no!"
Tang Sen raised his head suddenly, looking at Sha Lin who was standing in front of him, smiling, her hand was waving her arm, and above the arm, the golden light completely aroused Tang Sen's anger.
"I tried to find your finger, but I couldn't see you, so I had to tear off my arm." Shalin said as if to take credit, "Fortunately, I ripped off the correct arm. β
"Sharin, give it back to me." Townsen's expression was strangely distorted.
"No, I'll have to give it to the hobbit." Sarin said honestly, turning and walking towards the bewildered hobbit.
"Take it! Give it back! Townwex's voice literally squeezed out between his teeth, and he lunged at Sharin.
Sha Lin reacted quickly, knocking Tang Sen away with a slight bump, she looked at Tang Sen strangely: "Tang Sen, you seem to look a little different." β
The difference in force was too great, Tang Sen realized this, he got up from the ground, tried to restrain the anger and malice on his face, and said in a deep voice: "Shalin, forget what I just said to you, I miscalculated, this thing can't be given to the hobbit." β
"You believe me, you have to believe me, Sharin."
"Nope." The one-line sarin always remembered Townsend's previous advice.
"I command! Give me something! Townsend yelled, "Are you going to break the oath you made to Dulin? Do you want to be treacherous? β
"I can't hear, I can't hear." Shalin muttered as he quickly jumped off the boulder.
"Don't go! Don't you want Mithril? I'm not going to take back your hammer, and Mithril Armor, I'll give you as much as you want! Townsend was in a hurry, stumbling after him, and fell headlong from the boulder, and he struggled, and did not even bother to get up completely, and chased after Shalin with his hands and feet.
"I can give you the most wealth in the world, I can make you the richest dwarf, no, Sharin, I can make you the dwarf king!"
"He's farting, he's farting." Shalin continued to mumble, having come to the hobbit and shoved Townson's bloody arm directly into the hobbit's arms.
The hobbit was startled and reflexively threw his arm away.
Shalin grabbed the skinny hobbit under his arm, forced him to clench his arms, and said, "I need to get you out of here, shorty." β
"I'm not a dwarf β no, let me go! What's going on? How dare you get your hands on a traveler? β
Shalin turned a deaf ear and walked away quickly, both of them able to hear the screams of the normally calm traveler behind him, as well as the hoarse cursing of the traveler.
"Damn dwarves - I gave you everything, how dare you do that!"
"I curse you! Curse youβ"
Before the two of them were halfway there, there was a sudden light in front of them, and Gandalf was running towards him with his staff.
When he saw Shalin and the hobbit, his face was shocked, and he said urgently, "What happened?" β
"I felt the dark aura of the Ring Spirits, and their fluctuations even passed from the Netherworld!"
Shalin's face was relieved, and he directly put the hobbit in front of Gandalf, and said, "Townsend asked you to go to him." β
Gandalf's eyes flickered over the two of them, and finally rested on the hobbit's arm, his pupils narrowed to see the golden ring still on his finger.
He couldn't help but take a step back.
"Gandalf, I don't know what's going on... The dwarf seems to be insane, and he broke the traveler's arm..."The hobbit stammered as he raised his arm and handed it to Gandalf.
"Don't! Don't give it to me! Gandalf yelled and took a step back: "Put it away, put it away, don't let me see it!" β
"What?" The hobbit was even more confused and frightened, he had never seen a wizard look like this.
Today's events are so weird.
"The ring!" Gandalf said quickly, "Take that ring off and put it in your pocket." β
"Butβ" The hobbit crossed his arms as uneasy as if he were holding a red-hot coal.
"Do as I say!"
The hobbit could only tremble, and it took two attempts before he took off the golden ring and quickly slipped it into his waistcoat's pocket.
Gandalf let out a long breath and closed his eyes in contemplation for a moment.
"Shalin, traveler... Got a ring? β
"That's right." Shalin nodded.
"Has he become a little strange, angry, impulsive, and unreasonable?"
"That's right." Shalin complained: "He even scolded me! β
Then he smiled again, "But I can't hear it." β
β... I know. Gandalf opened his eyes and complimented, "You did a great job." β
"Now, you and the Hobbit stay here, don't go anywhere, don't go back to the Traveler, and don't go to Thorin, especially the ring..."
Gandalf's tone became more serious: "Don't let anyone see that ring again!" β
With that, he hurriedly walked towards the depths of the cavern with his staff.
In the shallows of the underground lake, he found the traveler lying on his back, and by the light of the staff, he could see the traveler's pale face, where he lay like a dead man.
Gandalf knew that the Traveler would not die, and that he also had the curse of immortality, so he was the first to vent his rage.
"I thought the traveler was calm and sane enough!"
"How could you be stupid enough to approach that ring! You should know that no one but the Hobbit can resist the lure of the One Ring! β
Townsend was motionless, but still made a weak voice: "I thought I would be special." β
"Your stupidity almost caused disaster! No, we're in trouble now, damn it, have you forgotten that the Ringwraith has been hovering around? When you put on the Ring, they already know it exists. β
Gandalf said angrily, "They will definitely inform Sauron of the birth of the Ring, and the peace of Middle-earth will no longer exist." β
"War is coming!"
Tang Sen tilted his head slightly, looked up at Gandalf, and sighed lightly: "That's right, war is coming." β
"Get up! Don't play dead! Gandalf tugged at Townsen's only arm, "We've got to find a way to make it up!" β
"Damn, I have to inform everyone at once, Rivendell, the Great Jungle, Rohan, Iron Hills... Especially Gondor! They will face Sauron's blade! β
"The Witch King of Angmar has been back in Mordor for many years, and no one knows how many Orcs he has cultivated, how many armors and weapons he has forged in Mordor, and he has been waiting for an opportunity to come out of the Black Gate and sweep Middle-earth."
"Now, you've given them that opportunity, damn traveler!"
Townsend stood up under his tugging and nodded, "We have to destroy the One Ring, and only Mordor, with the flames of the Doomsday Volcano, can do this." β
"You should be glad you still have some brains." Gandalf carefully looked at Tang Sen's state: "You should have instructed Shalin beforehand, right?" That's why she took the Ring the moment you were seduced, after all, she didn't know what the One Ring was. β
Townsend nodded.
"Fortunately, you haven't been in contact with the One Ring for a long time, otherwise, you will live in the thirst for the One Ring for the rest of your life, and finally become a slave to your desires." Gandalf said: "Cleverness is mistaken by cleverness, traveler, by now you should know that you are not special, and your will is simply not able to fight against the One Ring.
"I'm impressed."
Townsend was extremely agreeable.
Having experienced the lure of the One Ring firsthand, he realized how terrifying it was.
In that moment, he really thought that he was not affected at all, that he really thought that everything he was doing was okay.
The previous plan was not wrong, he was nothing special, he was just an ordinary person with a little luck, and it was too simple for the Lord of the Rings to seduce him, even easier than seducing people from Middle-earth.
Townsend glanced at Gandalf, and there was only anger and anxiety on the other party's face.
"I underestimated the power of the One Ring."
"But fortunately, I made sufficient plans in advance, and Salyn did not live up to my trust."
"The plan worked."
Townsend silently reviewed everything he had done before in his heart.
Because of the Mithril armor on Shalin's body, Oak decided to chase and kill, which is normal.
During the siege of the Orcs, it was not uncommon for the Travelers to have to take out the Aztec gold coins so that the dwarves would not die at the hands of the Orc cavalry.
The news of the dwarves' immortality will inevitably spread among the Orcs, and this news will eventually be learned by Sauron, who has always wanted to conquer the whole of Middle-earth, and it is normal for Sauron to want to get the curse of immortality.
So the Ringwraiths were sent, and after being repelled by the dwarves, they decided to recruit more Orcs in the nearby Orc's lair to fulfill their master's orders, which was normal.
Knowing that the One Ring was in the Orc's lair, the Traveler immediately led the dwarves to banish the Ringwraith and Orcs from the lair to prevent the One Ring from being discovered by them, which was normal.
It is normal for a traveler to be too confident in his willpower, as he always has been.
Unfortunately, his willpower was not enough to resist the One Ring, which eventually led him to wear the One Ring, although because of the traveler's caution, he was prepared in advance, but those who were attracted by the immortal curse were still wandering around, and unfortunately, they discovered the existence of the One Ring.
It's stupid, but it's normal, and no one expects a traveler to be able to resist the One Ring.
As a result, the existence of the One Ring was learned by Sauron sixty years in advance, and the Lord of the Rings contained a part of his soul and power, and he had been searching for it for too long, and he could not tolerate the Ring being hidden again, or destroyed.
He will start a war in advance to take back his own One Ring, which is normal.
Everything is normal, and even Gandalf does not think that the purpose of the traveler's actions is to start a war, which does the traveler no good at all.
He just did a stupid thing at an inopportune time.
The Veras who watched the traveler would of course notice that something was wrong and see the traces of guidance, but they had long since stopped meddling in the development of Middle-earth, and they could see the future and would only observe the performance of this outsider with great interest.
So, what does all this bring?
"Bring a more favorable situation."
In order to gain ownership of Mount Doom, you must defeat Sauron and occupy Mordor.
Tang Sen would never be naΓ―ve enough to think that he could do such a thing with more than eight hundred Mithril Immortals and a single dragon.
Even if you add the dwarves, I'm afraid it's not enough.
Well, maybe this power can turn Mordor upside down, but to completely drive out the dark forces that have been entrenched for thousands of years, it will take the power of all of Middle-earth.
Whether it is elves, humans, or dwarves, for thousands of years, everyone has sat back and watched Mordor develop under the Witch King of Angmar, they are not unaware of hidden dangers, but without the promotion of external forces, they will never be able to unite.
Not to mention a nameless traveler, even the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, or even the white-robed wizard Saruman, did not have the face to move the elves and dwarves to give up their feuds, unite and travel thousands of miles to conquer Mordor.
Humans, Gondor, who had been resisting Mordor, were probably interested, but the nomadic kingdom of Rohan certainly didn't have the heart to do so, and even the Harlandians in the south were on Mordor's side.
Only war, a war that can put everyone at risk, can become this external force, to unite these competing forces, and for the sake of survival, for the future of Middle-earth, any force that stands on the opposite side of Sauron must take up its own weapons.
"Then, I had the opportunity to see the armies of humans, elves, and dwarves standing outside the black gates of Mordor, and even sweeping through the whole of Mordor."
The decisive battle that would eventually take place now existed only in Townessen's mind, and the initiation of war was only a prologue to this scene.
The road must be taken one step at a time.
Townsend retracted his thoughts, looked at Gandalf, who was still angry, and sighed, "Wizard, I did do something stupid. β
"However, regret is no longer helpful, and now it is more important to look forward."
"We must stop Sauron's ambitions, and we must find a way to destroy the damned One Ring."
"I need your help, Gandalf."
