Chu Xin's move directly changed Frodo from the protagonist of "The Lord of the Rings" back to an ordinary hobbit, and also set the world situation on an unknown and unpredictable path.
However, for Frodo, it may be a good thing. He does not have to suffer the torture in the movie, nor does he have to witness countless deaths and sacrifices. Instead, he lives quietly and peacefully in Shireton with Sam and other friends.
In a word, the cause and effect left by Bilbo was intercepted by Chu Xin, thus deepening his bad relationship with Sauron, and a love-hate relationship that stirred up the chaos in Middle-earth began.
Huh~huh~
Chu Xin flew out of the Shire territory and flew along the magnificent and beautiful scenery in the north.
Until they crossed a mountain covered with white snow, a huge lake as quiet as a treasure lay peacefully in the embrace of the mountains, flowing from west to east to the distant river.
Many dilapidated rock buildings are dotted along the lakeside, and on the south side, the huge city has turned into ruins that no one cares about, and the magnificent palaces built against the mountains have collapsed layer by layer into piles of rubble.
The tenacious weeds feed on the bones of soldiers and grow wildly in the streets and alleys of the past, showing desolation but also showing a bit of vitality.
Despite this, Chu Xin still glimpsed a hint of the former prosperity.
The lake is called Duan Lake, which is about 80 kilometers long from north to south and 32 kilometers wide from east to west. It is about 160 kilometers away from the Shire.
The ruined city is called Annuminas. It was once the capital of Arnor, the strongest human kingdom. It was completely annihilated due to civil strife among the princes and the invasion of the Witch King, but Aragorn, the descendant of the royal family, is still alive.
The Witch King Angmar is the leader of the Ringwraiths and is subordinate to Sauron. Therefore, it can be seen that Sauron is behind the scenes in many changes in Middle-earth.
Wow!
Chu Xin lowered his altitude and landed smoothly on the top of the mountain in the royal capital, stepping on the collapsed palace castle.
Next, he will do something major that will affect the situation in China.
Buzz~buzz~
The Supreme Lord of the Rings, which was floating in the wind in his chest, was always glowing with a faint and strange golden light, emitting a bewitching magic power that continuously penetrated Chu Xin's spiritual world.
However, Chu Xin's soul is thick and solid, and the Ring is just doing useless work.
"Don't worry, don't you just want me to wear it?"
As Chu Xin spoke, he inserted the tip of the slender finger bone of the dragon's claw into the Supreme Ring.
In an instant, the 140-meter long skeleton dragon disappeared out of thin air!
It was as if the gods had pressed the delete button.
But if you look closely, you can see that there are two more claw-shaped depressions in the castle ruins, which seem to carry very heavy things.
"It's a pity that the Supreme Lord of the Rings only has a power bonus for Sauron. Others can only become invisible when wearing it, and expose their own positions to share their position with Sauron." Chu Xin said to himself.
And his small intentional move was the fuse that lit the explosive, enough to set off a storm!
at the same time.
Mordor.
Boom boom boom!
The originally peaceful Eye of Sauron suddenly burst into flames.
His pupils suddenly dilated and he stared northwest, showing great excitement.
An invisible thread came from afar, connected with him, and shared it with Sauron's nine great ring spirits.
"After so many years, my time is finally coming again. Angmar, Kohamul, go and get back what belongs to me. No matter who it is, I will kill you without mercy." Soran thought, and conveyed the voice of his thoughts.
Got out.
As he gave orders, nine tall figures shrouded in pitch black robes appeared.
Their drooping faces were only filled with darkness and hollowness, and the joints between their cuffs and hand armor were also nothing.
It was as if nine invisible invisible men were wearing clothes and armor.
The Ringwraith, also known as the Nazgûl, the Black Knight.
In the second era, nine outstanding humans obtained nine Lord of the Rings that were eroded by Sauron. They gained power, glory and wealth, but Sauron also successfully controlled their souls and became slaves of the Lord of the Rings.
It's a non-human thing.
Among them, the two most powerful are Angmar and Khamul.
The former proclaimed himself the Witch King, established the Kingdom of Witchcraft, and was one of the perpetrators of the complete destruction of the Kingdom of Arno.
The latter was once the king of Dongyi, a great hero who integrated many tribes, and followed Angmar after the fall.
It's a pity that these nine human warriors were unable to resist Sauron's erosion. More than four thousand years later, they are now completely dark beings and are Sauron's most loyal servants.
"My great master, we will definitely take back your treasure. Please wait for our triumphant return."
The hollow cheeks in Angmar's cloak lit up with two burning fires, which were his eyes.
The other eight people were the same, all excited and excited for the coming dark era.
"Go, I don't want to delay it for a moment any longer. These long days of futility have made me angry. Middle-earth will welcome the fire of anger that I have accumulated for thousands of years. At that time, I will personally execute Smaug who betrayed Lord Morgoth.
, and make its bones into a chariot." Sauron howled angrily.
Da da da!
The nine Ringwraiths stopped chattering and rode away on their ghostly black horses.
In the sky, a fallen flying beast with two wings followed closely.
…
Kingdom of Gondor.
A city made entirely of white boulders leans against the tall mountain wall, with layers of structures rising up like a birthday cake, until the seventh-floor white palace at the top.
This is the current capital of Gondor, Minas Tirith.
But it has a simpler and clearer name: Baicheng.
The pure white city is backed by numerous mountains and facing plains and rivers. It shines under the caress of the sun, like the holy abode of angels.
Although Gondor has declined, is on a precarious cliff, and many territories have been destroyed and conquered by the army of Mordor, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, Gondor is still the most powerful country in mankind, and its comprehensive strength is not that of Rohan and Rohan.
Valley State can be compared.
But it also directly shows that after Sauron returns, the situation in Middle-earth is in danger, and mankind is at a critical moment of life and death.
"Huh~"
At this moment, in the National Library, Gandalf was holding a pipe in one hand and flipping through dense files with the other. He was so busy that he didn't take a puff for several minutes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After doing Beefrodo, he rushed here non-stop to check all the information on the Supreme Lord of the Rings, including the whereabouts of the Lord of the Rings that he was most concerned about.
From the clues, you can roughly determine whether what Bilbo left behind is genuine.
"Alas~"
Gandalf looked up at the bookcase on the wall that was more than twenty meters high, and couldn't help but feel troubled.
There are so many archives and ancient books, and I have to check the year and month.
In the movie, it took him seventeen years to leave the Shire and then return. During this period, he did two things: confirming that Frodo was holding the One Ring, informing Aragorn of the seriousness of the matter and asking him to
Give help.
Right now, Gandalf has just arrived in the library, and his long reading has just begun.
However, just after he took a strong puff of tobacco, a figure hurriedly appeared behind the white smoke ring.
The visitor is a handsome young man of about 20 years old, with slightly curly blond hair draped over his shoulders. Compared with his resolute eyes, his facial features are softer, like a melancholy young poet, and like a kind and kind king, but
The sword on his waist and the light armor on his legs and feet show that he is also a warrior.
"Faramir, what makes you so panicked?" Gandalf asked.
The young man is the second son of Denethor, the current Prime Minister, and he and his brother Boromir are both famous officers in Gondor.
At the same time, Faramir is also a student of Gandalf. He is not only good at combat, but also has extremely high talents and attainments in art and music.
"Teacher, the whereabouts of the skeleton dragon have been discovered in Rohan. It went to the west." Faramir replied.
"Huh? Cough cough cough!"
How to make the wizard Gandalf the Gray choke on tobacco with just one sentence.
"Tell me the details!"
"Just now, Rohan sent a messenger to convey this news. A few days ago, Smaug passed over the northern border of Rohan and was witnessed by a group of herdsmen entering the edge of Fangorn Forest. As for whether he crossed the Misty Mountains and entered the Arnor Plain, it is currently unknown.
Got it," Faramir said.
Gandalf fell silent for a moment. He stared at the various historical documents on the table with a solemn face, and a question couldn't help but arise in his mind.
What did Smaug do in the West?
You must know that except for the large amount of wilderness and ruins left by the Kingdom of Arno, there seems to be nothing to attract dragons.
Except it~
"The Dark Land, the elven territory of Linton, or the Blue Mountains abandoned by the dwarves," Gandalf muttered secretly, "and the Shire. If Smaug was ordered to seize the Supreme Ring, it would make sense, but according to what happened some time ago
Rumor has it that Smaug went on a killing spree in Loen and is suspected of breaking with Sauron...or is Smaug also greedy for the One Ring and wants to use it to threaten Sauron?"
No matter which guess it was, Gandalf felt on pins and needles. He didn't bother to check the information and quickly put his pipe in his pocket and stood up.
"Teacher, I'll go with you!" Faramir volunteered.
"If you really want to come, I won't stop you, but will Denethor agree? He never likes me very much." Gandalf quickly climbed the spiral staircase and said without taking a breath.
After hearing about his father, Faramir couldn't help but lower his eyes.
Denethor was unfair to his two sons. He preferred his eldest son, Boromir, and was very harsh on Faramir. The reasons for this were extremely complicated. Anyway, the younger son was just like something picked up from the trash can.
Fortunately, the two brothers did not turn against each other because of their father's favoritism. Instead, they were very harmonious and helped each other. The elder brother often said good things to his younger brother.
"The war has been relatively calm recently, and with Boromir guarding White City, I decided to go with you." Faramir said after some thought.
Gandalf pondered for a moment, "Okay, if something happens, it would be nice to have a messenger come back to report the news."
Faramir immediately smiled. Being able to travel with a respected teacher and being related to the legendary dragon Smaug, he was excited after all as a young man.
As soon as they walked out of the library basement, they saw Boromir guarding the door.
My elder brother has a more resolute appearance, a stronger figure, and the air of an iron-blooded general in every gesture.
He first bowed slightly to Gandalf, then looked at Faramir and said with a smile, "Let me guess, you also want to find Smaug?"
Faramir was stunned, "How do you know?"
Boromir patted his shoulder and said honestly, "Because I heard your conversation just now."
He didn't wait for his brother to speak, and gave him a hug without hesitation, "Hey, listen, I have no right to interfere with what you want to do, but remember one thing, you must come back to me with all your limbs intact."
Faramir nodded, "The transformation of the skeleton dragon is an ominous sign. It may be related to the safety of Middle-earth. I must do something, at least know some unknown things in advance, so that I can better protect Gondor and save the people from danger."
Suffering from deep water and fire."
"I believe you. You have had your own ideas since you were a child. I think your father will understand." Boromir waved back.
I saw two soldiers leading two tall horses from Rohan. Food, water, and weapons such as bows, crossbows, and arrows were hung on both sides.
"It seems that you have prepared everything for us. How considerate." Gandalf rode one of the horses without ceremony.
Farewell to his brother, Faramir and Gandalf left the White City together.
"Hmph~~"
On the edge of the palace square, Denethor, the prime minister of Gondor's ruler, was looking down at the two silhouettes walking away from each other, his frown revealing full displeasure.
He doesn't like Gandalf, but respects the white wizard Saruman.
When I see my son hanging out with annoying people, I naturally don't feel good about my son.
Of course, this is just one of the reasons why Denethor doesn't like Faramir.
"I hope you can really achieve great gains and contributions, and don't make yourself look like a waste." Dinese muttered silently.
This prime minister is not a mediocre person. He has single-handedly stabilized the dying Gondor for so many years. His iron-blooded and decisive style is admirable.
Boromir is very similar to him when he was young, both brave, competitive and fearless. This is one of the reasons why Denethor prefers his eldest son.
…
Ruins of Arnor's royal capital, Annuminas.
Chu Xin wore the Supreme Lord of the Rings for a full ten minutes before taking it off, which was probably enough for the Ring Spirits to determine the exact location.
In these ten minutes, the Supreme Ring had a variety of emotions.
Although it didn't understand why Chu Xin revealed his coordinates, it was undoubtedly a good thing.
What's uncomfortable is that in these ten minutes, the Supreme Ring launched mental erosion on Chu Xin again and again, but all ended in failure. The other party seemed to have reinforced Naoren with a copper wall and an iron wall.
Therefore, the Supreme Ring received a huge blow, and at the same time, there was a subconscious resistance. For some reason, he was not willing to let Chu Xin wear it.
Because no matter how you look at it, it seems that you have actively set a trap, and then asked you to sit back and wait for the rabbit.
But the Supreme Lord of the Rings is just a ring. It does not think deeply like intelligent creatures, especially when it is disconnected from Sauron.
However, it also had great confidence and trust in Sauron, and was sure that even if it was Chu Xin's trap, he would trap himself and ask for trouble.
"Huh? Why do you feel so cold?"
Chu Xin raised his head and looked around suspiciously.
It's not a temperature change on the body, but a sensory experience on the soul level.
"This aura does not burst out from one place, but travels in all directions," Chu Xin stared at the Duan Lake not far away, "The source seems to be underground." (End of this chapter)
