Chapter 286: The one who rides the white horse is not necessarily the prince
The crystal ball floats in front of the river, and the picture inside is constantly changing, like a person holding a camera moving at high speed.
Indeed, the flame dragon Smaug was soaring above the heavens, his eyes looking down on the earth.
After a brief inner struggle, the desire to live occupies the brain. So, it succumbed.
Surrendered at the feet of the river.
Life or death, it's easy to make a choice. Smaug is the head dragon, he is not a righteous gentleman, he betrayed Middle-earth, became a dragon traitor, and there is no psychological barrier for him.
So, it was easy to convince itself.
"As long as he can bring out a flame gem and give it to me, I will serve him willingly. Thirty-eight years, exactly thirty-eight years, thirty-eight years since I lost my treasure, I want to sleep on the gold coins, I want to see my gems fall asleep...... Hey, what is that elf doing sneaking around?
"Call the wizard, call the wizard!"
Suddenly, its mechanical left eye began to rotate, and a spiritual power was connected to Sauron's crystal ball through the device in its left eye, clearly transmitting the scene it saw with its left eye to the crystal ball.
"Don't alarm that elf, be careful to hide, turn on the high-powered telescope......"
Smaug landed on the top of a large mountain, the machinery in his left eye kept turning, and then his pupils shrank, and the picture in the crystal ball suddenly became clear.
Jiang Liu looked at the sneaky elf, although it was only the back, but he could also see who it was: "Elf princess Arwin, how long has she been sneaking into the wizard tower?"
"It seems like ten years, if not longer!" Sauron said.
"It's a little interesting, I don't know who he is meeting with. The princess meets the prince, a troubled love...... Yes, it's really a white horse, huh!"
The picture of the crystal ball was blurred for a moment, and the elf and the white horse disappeared.
"Is the light distorted or what?"
"Maia's magic interferes with the transmission of spiritual power!"
"I'll take a look, you're in the Tower of Sauron! Although your strength has been greatly reduced, even the Stigmata Wizard won't dare to break through in the Wizard Tower. With that, Jiang Liu summoned Smaug back.
Sauron said, "Is this necessary? On the day when the nine wizards invaded Middle-earth, Maia's strength was at most only the strength of the second-ring wizards, and Saruman was killed after receiving a death curse...... Well, return to the embrace of the gods, Maia is immortal!"
"Now that Valinor's divine war is in full swing and Maia is once again descending on Middle-earth, we have to be careful. Maia's power comes from God, who knows what the power of the divine envoy will be this time?"
After Jiang Liu finished speaking, he rode the dragon and flew towards the place where the elf disappeared.
"The power of the Tower of Sauron, even the Stigmata Wizard would not dare to attack it...... Maia, elves, it looks like they've been seeking the Wizard's Tower for a long time!"
The Wizard's Tower is not just a research laboratory, its real role is equivalent to a battlefield fortress.
If there is not enough deterrence, how can we guard that rift in space?
The space-time rift connects the wizarding world, and if destroyed, it means that it will lose contact with the wizarding world. Although the coordinates of this world are already known to wizards, and it is not difficult to locate them, it takes a lot of time and energy to break down the spatial barriers. More importantly, only the True Spirit Wizard of the Seven Rings could shatter the spatial barrier.
Therefore, every rift in time and space is extremely important, and it needs to be guarded by wizards.
Naturally, the wizard tower that can guard this rift in time and space is also extremely powerful. At the top of the Wizard Tower, there is a giant cannon of destruction, below the four rings, and the middle will die. However, the amount of energy required to fire a cannon is also enormous, to the point of heartache for Sauron.
Jiang Liu killed Sauron, and in his shattered memories, he also gained a lot of useful information.
When they invaded "Middle-earth", nine three-ring wizards jointly set foot on this land, and they belonged to the three forces of the wizarding world. Sauron's power is an organization called the Ouroboros.
According to Jiang Liu's harvest in Sauron's shattered soul, this "Ouroboros" organization is extremely powerful, and has at least one seven-ring true spirit wizard. According to Sauron's speculation, the founder of the "Ouroboros" is more likely to be the "eternal soul" of the Eight Rings.
Eternal Soul, Wizard of the Eight Rings. Since he dares to call it eternal, Jiang Liu estimates that he should have the strength of Da Luo Jin Immortal, but as for whether he is holy, there is a lack of information and cannot be determined.
The world of Middle-earth in the Lord of the Rings is too barren compared to those large worlds. Therefore, the Ouroboros organization does not value this world, and instead bent on invading the dwelling place of the gods, Valinor.
The barrenness of "Middle-earth" is only relatively speaking, and the minerals such as Mithril and real gold in it are enough to send a three-ring wizard to sit in the town and exploit resources predatorily. Only travel to and from one space-time fortress every ten years, collect resources, and bring a group of wizard apprentices into this world for training.
In the previous life of Jiang Liu's body, this is how he came to "Middle-earth".
Ten years are approaching, and Jiang Liu naturally knows that the time fortress is coming, and as an agent of the "Ouroboros" organization in this world, Jiang Liu does not want his actions to be exposed.
So, he needed a reasonable way to make "Sauron" die a reasonable death.
And to be the murderer of "Sauron", Maia from "Valinor" couldn't be better.
Jiang Liu sat cross-legged on Smaug's back, looked at the white horse in the distance, and then saw the elf princess and a man in front of the white horse.
It is not necessarily the prince who rides the white horse, but it may also be Tang Seng or Gandalf.
Seeing the dragon hovering above the sky, the old man in a white robe, white hair and beard, and a white staff in his hand, aimed the white staff in his hand at the dragon above his head.
"Alvin, it seems that our whereabouts have been exposed. Have those two evil otherworldly wizards who are obsessed with research start to pay attention to us? It's just that I didn't expect that the flame dragon Smaug would really take refuge in them, which is really careless!"
The elven princess instantly took out a longbow, it is certain that she must also have some kind of spatial equipment, and said: "Gandalf, with our current strength, can't we overthrow the rule of the evil wizard? Although that evil wizard is very strong, it is difficult to withstand the fire of hundreds of black arrows!"
"Smaug is not the Smaug of the past, this dragon has been transformed by evil wizards, and I can smell evil sorcery in it...... And the evil wizards, they have been silent for many years!"
