Chapter 274: Precursor to the War of the Ring
The year 2990 of the Third Age and the year 1390 of the Shire calendar.
A shocking news suddenly appeared in Middle-earth, after the Dwarf King Solin II and his deployment were killing the orcs entrenched in the old capital and recovering the royal city of Kazadûm, it didn't take long for the "Durin Buster" Fire Demon King to be introduced.
After a fierce battle, Thorin II and his army were all killed, and after a thousand years, the dwarves' first attempt to regain their homeland ended in a tragic end.
The news shocked the countries for a while, and the creation of the dwarven hero's expedition to the Lonely Mountain has become a legend in the mouth of the bard, but this legend died in the battle to recover the old capital of Kazadûm.
Sauron took the opportunity to contact the Fire Demon and sent nine Ring Spirits back to the Fortress of Dolgodo in the south of the Dark Forest, preparing to let the Fire Demon and the Ring Spirit accumulate strength to recruit the remnants, and when the Mordor army went north, they waved their flags in the north on the east and west sides of the Misty Mountains.
After inheriting the king of the mountain, Dain II began to recruit troops and horses, trained elite soldiers, and sent people to the Blue Mountains, River Valley City, Great Green Forest, and Natural Capital to send handwritten letters, hoping to get their support, ready to recover Kazadûm at any time, and avenge his cousin Solin II and Jin Quan, the youngest son of the Master of the Treasury.
In the vault of the martial arts master of the Blue Mountains, the first elder of the dwarven clan, who was already five hundred years old, was drunk for three days after hearing the news of his youngest son's tragic death, and then personally put on his armor, picked up the best sharp axe in the clan, and went to Kazadom alone.
As a result, he fought the Fire Demon in Kazadum City for three days and three nights, and finally cut off the Fire Demon's left arm with an axe after casting the Immortal Gold, but finally died of exhaustion due to old age.
After the fire demon devoured the vault, although he was missing an arm, he increased his magic power by three percent, and the magic power in his body was close to that of the leader of the First Age War.
This winter, Gandalf, the gray-robed mage, arrives in the Natural Capital with a young hobbit.
Beorn, the Lord of Nature in the City of Nature, and Generalissimo Rek received Gandalf and the others at the royal palace.
After the greetings, Gandalf pointed to the young boy beside him and said, "This is a descendant of the Baggins family, his mother is a young lady of the Brandy Deer family, and he is the nephew of your apprentice Bilbo Baggins." ”
Rick looked at the young guy's smart eyes, stepped forward and touched his head, and knew that he was also a seedling with excellent bones, so he had a good impression and said with a smile: "Good boy, what's your name?"
The twenty-two-year-old boy, who was in his teenage years, said weakly: "Hello grandpa, my name is Frodo Baggins, I have heard your deeds since I was a child, and I admire you the most." ”
"Haha, good boy, Bilbo, come in!" Reek exclaimed, laughing.
Bilbo Baggins, who was outside the palace, had heard that Gandalf was coming, and was walking towards the palace, when he suddenly heard the voice of the master for thousands of miles, and hurriedly entered the palace with light skills, and pushed the door to see Gandalf and the two.
"Bilbo, come and see your nephew. Rick laughed.
Bilbo looked curiously at the young man next to Gandalf and asked, "What's your father's name?"
Frodo Baggins bowed slightly and said, "My father is Zhuo Guo Baggins, and my mother is Primura Brandy. ”
Bilbo remembered his younger brother, who was more than ten years younger than himself, but was very honest and honest, and asked, "Oh, you are the son of Zhuo Guo's cousin, how are your parents?"
Frodo's face changed, and he said sadly: "My parents both fell into the water and died ten years ago. ”
Bilbo stepped forward and hugged Frodo, and said, "Poor child, since you are here, you will follow your uncle first, and it just so happens that I am not married, heir, and you will be my Bilbo's heir in the future." ”
"Thank you, uncle. ”
"You're welcome, good boy......"
After a moment of conversation between the uncle and nephew, Bilbo took Frodo down to rest, while Gandalf, Beorn, and Rek sat down to eat refreshments and talk about the general trend of the world.
Gandalf asked about Xian Yutong and Zhang Sanfeng, and when he learned that they hadn't shown up yet, he said, "Please keep an eye on them, and if there is any news about the immortal, please let me know." ”
Beorn smiled: "My predecessor also misses my loving father, he has disappeared for fifty years, and we miss him very much." ”
Gandalf explained the dangers and circumstances of the One Ring one by one, and finally pleaded: "The hobbits are a race blessed by the gods, and I am afraid that they are also the only people who can resist the temptation of the Ring consciousness, and this Frodo I brought here is a pure-blooded person among the hobbits, and if he needs to destroy the ring in the future, he must let him and Bilbo carry it, so I want him to follow Bilbo." ”
"This child's parents are dead, Bilbo is his uncle, and Bilbo happens to have no heirs, so I let Frodo be Bilbo's heir, and I think Bilbo also means this. Rick coughed lightly and said.
Beorn frowned, and said with concern: "Are you okay, old thing, why did you have a cough recently?"
Rick smiled bitterly: " Although we hobbits are a race of their own, but in the final analysis, the ancestor is also a branch of the human race, thousands of years is the longevity of the people can only live one hundred and twenty years old, I am now four hundred and thirty-six years old, than the dwarf race is more long-lived, can live to the current age is all thanks to the master's blessing, but the cultivation of the master and his old man to live a long life, but after all, still can not transcend the ordinary life, in fact, my body has begun to decline now, I estimate that I can live another thirty or forty years to see the great god. ”
Beorn, who was older than Reek, would have been dying and decrepit if he hadn't practiced martial arts and magic, and he would have occasionally felt powerless, so he married a wife and had children after the city was built, passing on the bloodline of the skin-changers.
Hearing the words of the good brother, Beorn felt the same way, and also nodded: "We are not elves, wizards, and even more powerful people like two loving fathers, and we will inevitably die after all!"
Gandalf is a god who was born to be with the world, and he has lived for countless years now, and he has no feeling for death, so he can be said to have no sorrow or joy, so he doesn't know how to be relieved, but he said lightly: "The two of you are good people, and after death, you will also enter the temple of Lord Mandus and enjoy eternal joy." However, if you are still alive after the destruction of Sauron, I will ask the High King to bring you back to the immortal land of Amen, and you will be able to live forever. ”
"Thank you, old-timers. ”
Rick coughed lightly again, and then asked: "Gandalf, you have been active a lot lately, and Mordor's incursions into the eastern part of Gondor and the eastern part of Rohan have become more and more frequent, and even in the fortress of Dolgodo, a small number of orcs and barbarians have appeared to rob and harass the people in the north, and Sauron's subordinates have moved so much, is it about to start a war?!"
Beorn also looked at Gandalf with wide eyes, and the old wizard took off the bowler hat on his head, and said: "Now that the shadow of Mordor has reappeared, even I dare not go alone, what worries me even more is that it seems that Sauron's layout has the support of other masters, so that some of my plans have also failed, and now the situation is unclear, I can only secretly step up the layout to deal with the possible future war."
The final battle of the Third Age is definitely about to break out, and I don't think it will be too long, and similarly, Sauron and his subordinates will definitely be wiped out in the big war, all we have to do is plan ahead to reduce unnecessary losses when the big war comes. ”
"What the seniors said is that we have to prepare early. Rick nodded and said, "Lao Bei, I'll go back to Hewan in a while, if the master comes back, it's best, even if his old man doesn't come back, and the uncle and uncle are at home, I ask them to give some treasures to enhance the strength of our natural capital." ”
After spending a few days in the Natural Capital, Gandalf took his leave, first to the Glen, and then to the district of Lotherorien, just north of Rohan, to meet the members of the White Order, the Lord's Wife, Galadriel, and the young Aragorn, and persuaded Aragorn to fight for supremacy and become the common king of Gondor and even Arno, in order to stabilize Middle-earth and leave the dark forces without a chance.
The regent Denethor II, who was in the kingdom of Gondor, was using the Crystal Crystal to spy on the situation of Gandalf and Aragon, and constantly adjusted the policy deployment in the country, intending to organize the return of Aragorn in the form of a king.
It's just that what the regent doesn't know is that his soul has been slowly corroded and infiltrated by Sauron's dark magic, becoming old, and if he is not careful, he will fall into darkness forever and become Sauron's lackey.
After the year 2990 of the Third Age, the struggle between the free peoples of Middle-earth (those who believe in the gods and gods) against the dark forces began to become clearer and more intense, and the prescient people had a premonition of impending catastrophe.
In the thatched hut in Anduin Bay, Zhang Sanfeng and Gargamel put down the magic weapon parts in their hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Sanfeng said with a smile: "Brother Gegwu, we have worked hard for hundreds of years, and we have finally trained the treasure car, and the rest is only assembled, and then it is basically refined by magic day and night, and it is really annoying you for hundreds of years, thank you, thank you." ”
Gargamel shook his head expressionlessly and said: "Zhang Zhenren is polite, I am Xian Yutong's best friend, and I am also your best friend, helping you refine the supreme treasure can be regarded as helping me, besides, I also got dragon bones, giant bones, demon wolf bones, Ala Wu horns and other treasures, when I absorb and refine these treasures, it will be much stronger, speaking of which, I have to thank you." ”
Zhang Sanfeng smiled: "Yes, we are close friends, and there is no need to say kind words." ”
Gargamel squeezed out a stiff smile faintly, bowed slightly, and said, "The catastrophe is coming, I will also return to the White Mountain Range to prepare, and if we have something, we will pass the news with the newly trained magical creature Flying Feather Black Crow and leave." ”
Gargamel's words turned into a white light and flew out of the thatched hut, piercing the fog in an instant.
The Flying Feather Black Crow is a magic bird that Zhang Sanfeng and Gargamel made on a whim when they were sacrificing the six dragons flying treasure light car and the silver dragon guard, the golden armor wrestler and other half-magic weapons and half-life things, these birds have a certain amount of wisdom, can fly out of a hundred meters in an instant, and have the ability to stealth, which is the treasure of transmitting news.
Xian Yutong, Zhang Sanfeng, and Gargamel fused the Shushan Heavenly Book, the method of magic power and treasure refining with the art of horcruxes, magic weapons and Middle Earth forging to refine the six dragons flying treasure light car.
Among them, the six-headed divine dragon pulling the cart is a half-life and half-magic weapon refined by the two brothers Blue Dragon and White Dragon after the replication and strengthening of the genes and bloodlines, which can be regarded as a precedent for creating treasures in the Middle-earth world.
No matter what the world, all the top treasures will have their own spiritual consciousness, such as treasures such as the Ziqing Twin Swords and the Supreme Demon Ring, but it is not easy for treasures to live creatures, Xian Yutong and Zhang Sanfeng practice treasures with living things is another way, and when the training is completely successful, the spirituality of the Six Dragons Flying Heavenly Treasure Light Car is no longer under the human race.
With experience, the two also combined the Yellow Turban wrestlers who served under the three saints of the Romance of the Gods, and trained the evil dragon and the giant into living magic weapons, silver dragon guards and golden armor wrestlers.
The silver dragon guard is trained into one with two blue and white dragons, and the golden armor wrestler is also refined with giants and replicas, and the silver dragon guard and the golden armor wrestler are stored in the talisman when not in use on weekdays, and when needed, the silver dragon guard and the golden armor wrestler can be summoned with mana to subdue demons and subdue demons, and protect the law and save life.
Zhang Sanfeng had experimented some time ago after training, the silver dragon guard and the golden armor wrestler are indestructible, not afraid of water, fire, thunder and lightning and other magic, and the use of it has already surpassed the power of their body several times, and it can even be said that with Zhang Sanfeng's current strength, he can't help the silver dragon guard and the golden armor wrestler, if he encounters such an enemy, he can only flee in the wilderness.
Although the Silver Dragon Guard and the Golden Armor Lux are both very powerful, but when refining, Zhang Sanfeng and Xian Yutong also focused on it, the body size of the dragon is that of a fierce beast, and it is naturally the most powerful for fighting and attacking, while the Golden Armor Lux is a giant body, which is more suitable for protecting defense and many things that the body can do.
In a word, the Silver Dragon Guard focuses on killing, while the Golden Armor Lux is more comprehensive, Zhang Sanfeng feels that these two Dharma Talisman treasures may become the best magic weapons for the two of them except for the treasure car.
Putting away the talisman that summoned the flying feather black crow, the silver dragon guard, and the golden armor wrestler, Zhang Sanfeng picked up other materials and refined the immortal bricks and fairy tiles, preparing to continue refining the materials of the immortal palace.
Because the materials required for the Immortal Palace are huge and the process is very complicated, and the materials provided by Bombardier and the materials accumulated by the two of them are barely enough for a Fairy Palace, so Zhang Sanfeng and Xian Yutong only plan to practice to a Fairy Palace, according to the current speed, maybe the materials can be practiced in more than two thousand years, and as for the combined Immortal Palace, I am afraid it will take thousands of years.
