"Exactly the same?"

Gandalf was stunned: "Traveler, what does this mean?" ”

"There will only be one One One Ring, let alone a dwarf, even if it is an elf of the First Age, it will never be possible to create a second One Ring."

"Of course I do, wizard." Tang Sen smiled, "But we don't need a second One Ring either, do we?" ”

"That-" Gandalf reacted, "you're going to have the dwarves make a fake?" ”

"Why not?" Tang Sen asked rhetorically: "There are very few people who have seen the Most One Ring with their own eyes, let alone those who have come into contact with the power of the One Ring, who can tell the truth of the One Ring from the fake?" ”

"It's... It doesn't make sense. Gandalf frowned incomprehensibly: "Fakes don't have the power of the One Ring, no one will believe it..."

"Who says fakes don't have power?" Townsend smiled and raised his hand, revealing the silver-white ring: "Coincidentally, I have another ring. ”

"Its power is no weaker than the real One Ring, in a sense, its allure is much stronger than the One Ring."

Gandalf froze.

Can Iluvita's gift still be used like this? What strange plan is in this man's head?

"Of course, this requires your cooperation, and you have to spread the word." Townsend continues:

"Sorcerer, as you said earlier, no one knows that the One Ring has appeared, except for us and those who have seen the Ring."

"And those ring spirits, it's me who sees them."

"When everyone thinks that I have the real One Ring, and I do have a ring that is exactly the same as the One Ring, then as long as I don't wear the ring again to reveal the authenticity, Sauron and the Ringwraith will never turn their attention elsewhere."

He smiled, "After all, even Sauron wouldn't believe that anyone would be willing to hand over the ring after getting it, would he?" ”

"Wait... Let me sort it out. Gandalf scratched his beard, spun around twice, and suddenly raised his head: "What do you mean... Are you going to make yourself a bait? ”

"As long as I tell everyone that the One Ring is on your body, then all eyes will be on you, and Mr. Baggins, you can go to the Doomsday Volcano without hindrance and destroy the real One Ring?"

Tang Sen laughed: "That's right, will this solve your worries just now?" ”

"I told you, you just need to escort the Ring, and I'll take care of the rest."

"But—" Gandalf didn't know what to do with Townsend for a moment.

For a moment, the traveler seemed to radiate a majestic glow of self-sacrifice.

Could that be why Iluvita chose him?

"It's not easy, traveler." Gandalf finally said, "You have attracted not only Sauron's minions, but also those who covet the One Ring. ”

"Never underestimate the greed of the human heart, they will do everything to take your ring... I mean the silver-white one. ”

Gandalf frowned and said, "To be honest, I think such a result will cause even greater disaster, the One Ring is just a product of Sauron, even if he is terrible, it is not impossible to deal with it, and your ring... But Illuvita's gift! ”

"If it is taken away by the evil people, Iluvita is on top, I don't want to see Mithril Orcs all over the mountains!"

"And the Mithril Ogre, and even the Mithril Elephant." Tang Sen reminded, "Believe me, if this really happens, they may only need a small number of troops, and it will be enough to sweep through the entire Middle-earth continent. ”

Gandalf's eyes widened, and he was about to retort to the pesky traveler when he saw the traveler smile and say, "Don't worry, wizard. ”

"No one can take away Illuvita's gift."

He gently took off the Mithril Ring in his hand and handed it to Thorin next to him: "Thorin Oak Shield, do you crave Mithril?" ”

Thorin was shocked and couldn't help but take the ring.

"No... I have no greed for Iluvita's gift! Thorin said as he stared at the Mithril Ring, trying to slip it on his finger.

But the ring melted in his hand and then disappeared.

Townsend raised his hand to let the crowd see the ring that had been put back in his hand.

"I think Sauron's One Ring would be in a much better position if he had this function as well."

"It's not funny." Gandalf said angrily, but the truth still made him let go of his worries, indeed, how could Iluvita's gift be used by others?

"Just do as you say." Gandalf said, "I will inform all forces that can be contacted, and they will know that the Traveler has obtained the One Ring, and that Sauron has been revived and is trying to take the Ring. ”

"As for whether those forces will have good intentions or malicious intentions towards you, that's not something I can control."

"Those with good intentions will become my friends, and those with malicious intentions will become enemies of the dwarves." Tang Sen smiled and said, "I'm sure the dwarves will protect me, right?" ”

Thorin looked over with a question mark on his face.

What does it mean to be an enemy of the dwarves? Did the dwarves agree?

Townsend silently took out an arrow and placed it in Thorin's hand.

"Thorin Oakshield, it's time to fulfill the promise you made with me, it's my request."

Thorin: "......"

This was the Oath Arrow he gave to Tang Sen outside the Trolls Woodland, but he didn't expect the other party to use it so quickly.

But against all those who pretend to be the Lord of the Rings? It's creepy to think about this kind of thing...

"Thorin, you don't want us to be able to reach the Lonely Mountain, do you?"

Tang Sen leaned in and said, "If I fall halfway, there will be no one to deal with Smaug." ”

“......”

Thorin's unconscious strength directly broke the arrow, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and said, "The dwarves will follow the agreement!" ”

"As long as there is Mithril Armor, I don't think there is any enemy that we can't fight." Sha Lin said indifferently: "Tang Sen, don't worry, I'm invincible." ”

She paused, "Of course, Thorin is a little more invincible than me. ”

Ignoring her boasting, Townsend said, "Alright, next, we need to find a place to forge a fake ring." ”

"I think there's a lot of equipment in Oak's lair."

"The equipment is not the problem." Bahrain, the eldest of the dwarves, spoke: "The dwarves always have a way to build them, the only question is, I heard you say that you also need gold to create a fake?" ”

Gold...

Everyone fell silent.

"Traveler, I remember you had a big box of gold coins, right?" Gandalf said silently.

"Those gold coins have a curse on them, they must not be used!" Townsend rejected Gandalf's offer outright and looked at Thorin.

"Don't look at me! Traveler, you know me, I can't even pay the liquidated damages! Thorin hurriedly waved his hand.

Sha Lin raised his hand directly: "Tang Sen, you know me, I don't even have a few silver coins on me." ”

"Wizards never carry this worldly money." Gandalf directly avoided Townsend's gaze: "I'm not interested in money. ”

Townsend was silent.

"I understand, there are so many people here, and they can't even take out a single gold coin?"

"Not necessarily." "Dwarves are indeed having some difficulties for the time being, but we don't just have dwarves here. ”

Everyone was stunned, and silently shifted their gaze to the hobbit who had little sense of existence and had been nesting in the corner.

Mr. Baggins: "......"

Don't come here!
