Chapter 106: Forging the Supreme Ring
Gandalf sensed something was wrong.
Why did this traveler make a mistake himself, and still take the posture of one of the vice-leaders, and say I need your help?
But the remorse was genuine, and the traveler had always behaved like this, Gandalf recalled that there was nothing wrong with all of the other's plans, except that he was tempted by the Ring.
Well, being tempted by the Lord of the Rings is also because the traveler is too arrogant, but fortunately, the other party is also ready to go back.
"We must divert to Mordor." Gandalf said directly: "I can't take care of the lonely mountain anymore, and I must destroy the One Ring before Sauron can react." ”
"Nope." Tang Sen shook his head: "Lonely Mountain is very important. ”
"Although Sauron's base camp is in Mordor, he can recruit countless Orcs from the Misty Mountains at any time, and the location of the Lonely Mountain happens to be contained in the north, once Sauron and Smaug unite, then the dwarves of the Iron Hills will never be able to break through the siege."
"And the Great Jungle and Gondor will also face a situation where they are attacked on three sides."
"It's important!" Gandalf emphasized, "Smaug is only a giant dragon after all, and Sauron, not only is he extremely powerful, but the key is that no one knows how many Orcs he has cultivated and how many weapons he has built in Mordor. ”
"Wizard, you've fallen into a misunderstanding." Tang Sen interrupted him and said, "It's not impossible for these two things to happen at the same time. ”
Gandalf was stunned for a moment, "You mean, you take the dwarves on to the Lonely Mountain, while I escort the Ring to Mordor?" ”
Naturally, he didn't think the other way around, because everyone knew that only the Traveler had a way to deal with Smaug.
"That's right." Tang Sen nodded: "When we regain the Lonely Mountain, I will go directly to Mordor with the dwarven reinforcements, and you, the wizard, you need to inform the humans and elves to unite." ”
"It's not an easy thing to do," Gandalf mused, "especially the human kings, unless the shadow of Sauron already hangs over their heads, it will be difficult for them to unite. ”
"The news of the appearance of the One Ring is only known to us and the Ringwraith, even if I inform all the kingdoms, they will not fully believe it, unless we hype up the existence of the One Ring, but in this case, Sauron will also know the location of the One Ring, and he will do his best to take the Ring, not to mention, there are far more people who want to get the Ring, I am afraid that it is far more than Sauron."
Gandalf is not at ease with anyone but the Hobbits, and no one can resist the temptation of the One Ring as long as there is desire in his heart, including those kings.
"This matter is easy to solve, you only need to escort the ring, contact the elves and humans, and leave the rest to me." Tang Sen smiled: "Just think it's because of my previous mistakes that need to be repaid." ”
"What can you do... Wait a minute! ”
By the time Gandalf had questioned, Townsend had already taken a self-conscious step towards the cave.
"Damn travelers! I'm here to save you, not to listen to you! Gandalf angrily followed: "Doesn't this painful lesson make you reflect? ”
Seeing that Tang Senwu ignored him, Gandalf angrily muttered, "If you can't convince me, Traveler, I swear!" I will never let you toss again, the Supreme Ring is not a trivial matter, and the security of Middle-earth is all tied to it! ”
The two soon found Sarin and Mr. Baggins, who were still waiting halfway through.
Mr. Baggins held Townson's arm over with restraint and trembling.
"Please keep it for me, Mr. Baggins." Townsend said politely, "I can't pick up my arms right now, and it always feels a little strange to hold my own arms." ”
With that, the arm holding Baggins' arms moved and grabbed his wrists, causing the poor hobbit to jump in shock.
"Towngsen, are you recovering?" Sarin noticed his employer's familiar gesture and immediately became happy: "You didn't look like you at all just now, to be honest, I was really shocked." ”
"Sharin, you're doing a good job." Townsend praised without hesitation: "But next time it can be less rough, I mean, you can break it from my elbow, not shoulder-to-shoulder..."
Shalin scratched at his fiery red hair in embarrassment.
"Of course, there won't be a next time." Townsend looked at the hobbit, "Mr. Baggins, keep that ring and never wear it." ”
Although even if he wears the ring, he will not be able to discover the existence of the ring when Sauron has not built the Eye of Sauron, in the original book, even if the Eye of Sauron has been built, as long as the ring is not worn for that long, it is difficult to determine the location, otherwise, the original Ring Guard team would not be able to approach Mordor smoothly.
However, if you are not so lucky, and there is a ring spirit nearby, then wearing the ring and entering the nether world is like a slap in the face of the ring spirit, and it is impossible not to be discovered.
This is also the reason why Townsend went to great lengths to induce the appearance of the ring spirit.
"I... I don't know," said Mr. Baggins in a panic, "I'm still confused, what the hell is going on?" ”
Townsend turned his gaze to Gandalf, "Wizard, it looks like you're going to have to tell our hobbits a story... You're good at this kind of thing, after all, Mr. Baggins was also brought out by you from Shire. ”
Gandalf's arm tightened.
The subtext of this man seems to be saying that he is very good at abducting hobbits!
I'm all for Middle-earth!
Despite this, Gandalf had to walk over to the hobbit with a friendly expression.
In Gandalf's Lure... During the explanation, everyone passed through the long cave, and Thorin and other dwarves reappeared in front of them.
"Turin is above, Traveler!" At a glance, Sharda saw Townese's empty arm: "What happened?" ”
"A little accident." Townsend waved his hand... The only hand, said: "Fortunately, our goal has been achieved. ”
"So, what the hell is it?" Thorin asked in a deep voice.
"The dust has settled, and it is not impossible to tell you." Tang Sen said: "That's right, I also need a little help from you." ”
"Have you heard the story of the One Ring?"
“......”
As long as it is a creature of Middle-earth, it is impossible not to have heard of the Supreme Ring.
"You... Found it? Thorin couldn't help but exclaim, "Right here? The Misty Mountains? In the Orc's lair? ”
"That's right." Townsend nodded: "Mr. Baggins, let's show you the ring." ”
"Traveler!" Gandalf hurriedly stood in front of the hobbit: "The One Ring doesn't need to be displayed!" ”
"It's necessary."
Townsend said:
"If the dwarves don't know what the One Ring looks like, how can they make an identical one?"
