Chapter 267: Gandalf

Thirty years can turn a young man into a dying old man, and a dwarf can turn from a teenager into a young man, but for long-lived and immortal beings such as elves and tree herders, it is like a sleep.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the year 1341 of the Shire calendar, and it is also the year 2941 of the Third Age.

For example, in the year 1356 of the Charr calendar, Kirby, a disciple of Linton Immortal Weng who was known as a "living fossil" and a "master of martial arts" in the kingdom of Gondor, was besieged to death by Sauron's first general, the head of the Rings, Angmar Witch King, when he led his troops to attack the fortress of Minas Morgul, he was besieged to death by other rings, ghosts, corpses, werewolves, etc.

The top figures in the kingdom of Gondor and Middle-earth knew that the reason for this was that Kirby was extremely old.

As a human race, Kebi has lived for more than 300 years by relying on the divine skills passed on by the immortals, although the skills are superb, but the body is decrepit, how can he resist the siege of the Nine Great Ring Spirits and other dark creatures.

The failure of the Gondor Kingdom's attack also marked the complete fall of the Minas Mogul Fortress of the Gondor Kingdom to contain Mordor in the east.

Mordor is located in the southeast of Middle-earth, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides except for the wasteland due east, and the remote and precipitous conditions made Mordor the stronghold of the dark forces in the Second Age, and still is.

The fortress of Minas Morgul was originally built by the Kingdom of Gondor at the junction of the Eastern Mountains and Mordor to defend against Mordor's invasion to the west, but now it has become a fortress of Mordor, and the dark forces have the initiative to invade westward at any time.

The Dunedans, who have been fighting against the dark forces led by the Witch King of Angmar, have also been hit hard several times, the fourteenth patriarch and the fifteenth patriarch have been killed by trolls and orcs under Sauron's subordinates, and the sixteenth successor patriarch is Aragorn, who is also the greatest human in the future blessed by the gods.

In order to protect Aragorn from being killed by Sauron's men, his mother Gil Ryan fled with Aragorn to the valley on the border of Eastern Eriador and the Misty Mountains, where Aragorn became the son of Elrond, the elven lord of the valley, and lived incognito in the valley.

Behind every large-scale vicious event is the shadow of the "Dark Lord" Zoro and his subordinates, and people with lofty ideals in Middle-earth are well aware that Zoro and the dark power he represents have finally returned, and they are even stronger than the last time.

In the same year, Thorin Oak Shield, the successor to the throne of the Dwarven King of Turin and King of the Mountain, was to return to the Lone Mountain with the help of Gandalf and Bilbo Baggins, the Snitch, and become the co-lord of the Dwarven clan, the King of the Mountain.

At the same time, the recovery of the Lonely Mountain will also trigger a battle between the elves, humans, dwarves and wizard eagles and other extraordinary beings to resist the five armies of the orcs, this war will change the pattern of Middle-earth, let Sauron from the dark to the light, will also curb the development of the fortress of Dolgodo in the dark forest, so that the tentacles of the dark forces in the north will be cut off.

These things were ordered by the gods and secretly carried out by the White Dao Society, formed by the wise men of Middle-earth, with the aim of finally eliminating Sauron and the dark forces he represented, and preventing the restoration of the dark Lord Morgoth.

In recent centuries, the white-robed wizard Saruman, the president of the White Dao Society, has not fulfilled his obligations as president, but the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, the lord of the valley, Elrond, and the elven lord's wife Galadriel are the most enthusiastic and have come to the front of the stage.

This year, Gandalf will personally participate in and lead the dwarven king Solin Oak Shield to recover the Lonely Mountain, and before he goes to the Blue Mountains to meet Solin Oak Shield, he thinks that he should go to the Anduin River Bend to meet the mud-robed mage Zhang Sanfeng and the Linton Immortal Weng Xian Yutong, who may be there, and he will be more sure if he can get their help.

After investigating the infiltration of Sauron's forces in the kingdom of Gondor, Gandalf rode a small red horse down the Anduin River due north.

Seven days later, Gandalf saw the familiar thatched hut that sat on the side of the familiar river valley.

Walking to the thatched house and stationing the horse, Gandalf turned over from the horse, and was about to speak when he saw the door of the house open, dressed in a white robe, Zhang Sanfeng with crane hair and a childish face, and a black robe, Xian Yutong, who was chic and handsome, walked out, followed by a tall elven wizard.

"Sure enough, Lao Gan is here, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. Zhang Sanfeng saw Gandalf's bow, and laughed, "Brother Gan's demeanor is still the same!"

Xian Yutong also smiled and said, "Brother Gan has been gone for a long time. ”

Gandalf learned from the two of them, and also returned the salute, nodding and saying, "Brother Xian Weng is really here, I haven't seen two old friends for hundreds of years." ”

Xian Yutong smiled faintly: "Aren't you busy with the great cause of exorcism?

"Where is it so easy?" Gandalf smiled wryly, "Didn't I come here to ask the two of you to help?"

Zhang Sanfeng was about to reply when the door of another room was pushed open, and Beorn, Black Male Leopard and Rick rushed out, and when they saw Gandalf, Beeorn and Rick hurriedly stepped forward and bowed slightly, while Black Male Leopard nodded.

Xian Yutong waved his hand and said: "I forgot to introduce Brother Gan, this elf mage is a necromancer and a black magician Gargamel, I think you have also heard of his name, Xiaobei and the three of them You don't need to say more." ”

Gandalf first greeted Beorn and Rick, and then looked at Gargamel in amazement, and arched his hand: "It turns out that you are Your Excellency Gargamel, I have long heard of the great name of Gargamel, the necromancer in the north of Gondor, I originally thought it was Sauron, but now I know that your magic is probably related to the magic of Immortal Weng and Daochang Zhang!"

Gargamel bowed in return, then nodded.

"Let's talk. Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand.

A moment later, the four bigwigs in the hut sat in a circle, while Beorn, Reek, and Black Leopard were squatting or standing on the periphery, quietly listening to the elders.

After politely talking about his experience of hundreds of years, Gandalf also elaborated on his intentions, and then asked, " This time the dwarves recovered the Lonely Mountain, in order to find the Supreme Ring and kill Smaug, this matter is related to the future elimination of the Lord Ring and Sauron's big move, I know that this line will definitely encounter the interference and attack of Sauron's subordinates, so I want to ask you to help, after all, the Smaug entrenched in the lonely mountain is a flying dragon, and it is also the most powerful evil dragon since the black dragon Ankara, hundreds of years ago and the great insect Skassar was as famous, and then Skaser was killed, Smaug has become more powerful. I don't think the dwarves and snitches alone are any match for them, and even the Black Arrows and Marksmen of the Girian family may not be able to destroy Smaug, so it would be safer for you to strike. ”

Zhang Sanfeng didn't want to meddle in things, but Gargamel didn't care, Xian Yutong said with a smile: "Zhang Zhenren and Gargamel still have to refine treasures together, I want to take a look at the secret of the Supreme Ring, so I'll do it." ”

"Okay!" Gandalf clapped and laughed, "Martial Mentor, Your Excellency Linton Immortal Weng personally went out, and Smaug will definitely not have any good fruit to eat." ”

After a few days in the thatched hut, Gandalf hurriedly took his leave.

Leaving the Anduin Bend, Gandalf rode his little red horse to the Blue Mountains in the middle of Linton Forest on the east coast, where the heir to the royal family of Durin now lives, Thoren Oak Shield.

As he reached the south of the Shire, Gandalf received a summons from the tamerated spirit bird of the brown-robed mage Radagast, and learned that Thorin II was not in the Blue Mountains, but near the Shire Forest, so Gandalf rushed to the Shire, and eventually met with Thorin Oakshield in the town of Bury, halfway between the Old Forest and the Shire.

Solo Oak Shield is almost two hundred years old this year, the dwarf of this age is in the prime of life, Solo Oak Shield also worshiped the old patriarch of the Firebeard Tribe, the first elder of the dwarf clan, and the vault master who is more than four hundred years old when he was in the Blue Mountains, and learned the martial arts skills obtained from the great martial arts master Linton Immortal.

Living in the Blue Mountains for more than 100 years, Solin Oak Shield has also studied and practiced with the master of the vault for more than 100 years, Shakya Elephant Throwing Gong and Dragon Elephant Prajna Gong have been practiced one after another, and in the past 20 years, he has passed on some of the most subtle and profound "Divine Power Immortal Sutra", Solin Oak Shield's skills are now close to the peak of the world, and he can be called a peerless master.

When Gandalf saw Thorin Oak Shield, he knew that he underestimated the future "King of the Mountain", and was amazed by the influence of the Great Martial Instructor Linton Immortal Weng Martial Arts and the change he had made to the world.

Thorin Oakshield was born heroic, and after his father was killed, he was even more bent on recovering the Lonely Mountain, and even one day in the future to regain the dwarven kingdom of Caesardom in the Misty Mountains, and become the greatest king of the mountain.

After learning martial arts from the vault master, Solin Oak Shield's strength is getting stronger and stronger, and at the same time, his confidence is enhanced, he can't wait to recover the Lonely Mountain, in the past ten years, Solin Oak Shield has gone to the vicinity of the Lonely Mountain alone to inquire about the news three times, and this time he also wants to go deeper.

Thorin Oakshield was overjoyed to see the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, especially when he learned that he was willing to help him, and Thorin Oakshield suddenly felt that the victory was in his hands.

The two quietly concocted a plan to attack the Lonely Mountain, and then Thorin Oakshield took his leave and returned to the Blue Mountain, and organized his twelve cronies to bid farewell to his mentor, the Master of the Vault.

After thinking about it, the master of the treasury sent his youngest son, Jin Quan, who was also a master of martial arts, to follow Solo II to recover the Lonely Mountain.

With the appreciation and support of his mentor, Thorin Oak Dun arrived at the Shire with his brother Jin Quan and twelve retainers as agreed with Gandalf.

Gandalf had already found the god-chosen snitch Bilbo Baggins, a fifty-year-old middle-aged hobbit with two of the three most noble bloodlines of the hobbits.

Bilbo Baggins's great-grandfather used to be a militia captain, and also followed the immortal Earl Rick to learn the martial arts passed down by the great martial arts instructor, Bilbo Baggins has been learning "Huashan Shangshan Martial Arts" and "Taixuan Sutra" since he was a child, although the martial arts are not very high, but the light skills are talented, and have far surpassed all the clansmen who practice martial arts.

Gandalf was also amazed at Bilbo Baggins when he found him, adding two more words to Bilbo Baggins' status as a "Snitch" and becoming a "Shadowless Snitch", as well as making Bilbo Baggins a scout, assassin, thief, and adventurer for the entire team.
