Isengard is one of the important towns in the Middle-earth continent. Its geographical location is very dangerous, and it is also the capital of the Rohan Kingdom. ("") In the country, it is similar to the existence of municipalities such as Tianjin and Shanghai in China.
As early as twenty years ago, King Théoden of the Rohan Kingdom gave this place to his best friend: Saruman the White to take care of it. The latter had been pretending very well until he was jealous all the time.
It was only after Gandalf was imprisoned that he revealed his true face ------- This incident should have happened more than half a year later.
After Saruman obtained Isengard, he found the True Knowledge Crystal Ball in Orthank Tower. Because he was addicted to it, his long-term use allowed Sauron's will to gradually corrupt him and change him.
At the same time, due to his fanatical research interest in the knowledge of the Lord of the Rings, he also fell into the quagmire of power expansion while delving into the dark power. The reason why he formed an alliance with Sauron was not because he was enslaved like the Nazgul, but because he
Huge ambition!
There is no doubt that Saruman's true purpose is to obtain the Ring and rule the world instead of Sauron.
The reason why Fang Senyan, who missed the opportunity to complete the main mission, came to Isengard was to find Saruman!
At this time, Saruman has not revealed his identity, so in the eyes of others, he is still the noble Speaker of the Holy White Council and the holy white-robed mage. At the same time, it must be admitted that Isengard is under Saruman's leadership.
It is still very prosperous under the governance, and the people under the governance live a prosperous and happy life.
This means that it is not too difficult for Sheyan to see him. Secondly, Saruman will not reveal his identity at this moment. In other words, Sheyan is simply not worth letting.
He broke his face------it means that Sheyan is not in great danger.
As for the risks brought about by previous conflicts, Sheyan had also considered it, but the only person he had ever encountered was the orc Lutz. Sheyan did not believe that Saruman would be bold enough to kill someone like Lutz who did not look like a human being.
If he takes it with him, I'm afraid his reputation will be ruined long ago.
The gems they just spent traveling from Eriador to Isengard are really valuable. It is estimated that they burned at least tens of thousands of platinum coins. After the four people emerged from the teleportation array and walked outside the hall, there was a tax
The official politely registered their names and origins. When he learned that they were buying merchants selling gems in the dwarf territory, he collected a sum of money, which was neither too much nor too much, and was allowed to go down the mountain to enter.
Arrive at Isengard.
If you look down on Essinger from above, it feels mysterious, huge, and vicissitudes of life. However, once you get closer to the city, although there are still a large number of monuments and ancient strange writings that can be seen everywhere to remind tourists of the ancient times here, the bustling streets and bustling
The citizens gave this place an indescribable vitality.
The knights patrolling the streets all have solemn faces, riding their horses and walking slowly. Needless to say, the knights are tall and strong. More importantly, the horses under their crotches look quite strong and strong, and they are walking
When he was walking, the white air sprayed out from his nostrils was about one meter long. When he was walking on his hooves, the strong muscles wriggled gracefully under his skin, showing his powerful explosive power.
It can be seen that these patrolling knights have a good relationship with the merchants on the street. They say hello from time to time. Many merchants even bring out food to feed the horses. What is eye-opening is that the giant horse under the knight's crotch is almost
You feed them whatever you want, eggs, bread, cereal, hay, bacon...
Sister Fog Song has been staying in Rivendell and has never come out. She has just experienced the gentle, gentle and passionate Shire, and then witnessed the cruel and harsh Eriador, and now she has come to the prosperous and orderly Eriador.
Singer couldn't help but be very surprised.
Feeling the orderly operation of the city, and watching the vigorous vitality and order of Essinger, Fang Senyan thought for a while, nodded, and did not do anything else. Instead, he asked someone directly and went straight to the biggest place here.

"Well, the total number of strangers who came to Essinger today is about 4,000. There are 67 strangers who arrived through the teleportation array. Among these 67 people, there are three people who need to be closely monitored. Six people will be sent out tomorrow.
Organize people to monitor."
"Wait, why are there only three people? I remember that there was a group of people who were also quite suspicious. There were four of them in total. Two of them seemed to be experienced warriors, and one of them should be a mage. The last one
The girl looks ordinary, but the long bow on her back contains powerful natural power, and it is probably the treasure of the elves."
"This group of people has investigated and confirmed that the reason they wrote down for entering Essinger was to sell gems. In fact, this is indeed the case. After entering the city, they visited six gem shops and magic props shops, and took out
Gemstones are truly rare and exquisite.”
"This does not eliminate the doubts about them. I suspect that the source of their gems was stolen from Eriador. The riots there have not subsided yet."
"I know, but a gem that this group of people took out has attracted the attention of Lord Ganshedor. It is said that it is a stone containing a strange soul. Since Lord Saruman's chief wizard has paid attention to them,
There is no need for us to waste our limited manpower on them.”
"You are right, my lord."
The Lord Gonsedol mentioned by these spies was arriving at the Orthanc Tower at this time. He stood respectfully outside the magic laboratory. The faint and shrill roar could not faze him at all.
Moved. Because he knew that if he wanted to stay in the presence of Lord Saruman for a longer time, he had to learn to forget the things he should not see or hear.
Ganshedor is not the most powerful among Saruman's subordinates, but he is the most cautious and the most stern one. This is why he has been able to sit in this position for a long time.
Ganshedor waited for half an hour, but his respectful expression did not change at all, and even the extent of his bent waist remained the same. After a while, the door of the laboratory opened, and a silent man
The waiter stood in front of him:
"The Lord will have afternoon tea in ten minutes. You can have one minute to communicate with the great Saruman."
Gangshedor nodded, straightened up and walked into a nearby room.
After he opened the door to the room, what appeared in front of him was a corridor. Smooth marble pillars on both sides of the corridor guarded the two sides like soldiers. Purple ivy was climbing everywhere, cleverly forming a garden. There were actually things in the sky.
The sun shines on the ground, and the shadows of the leaves on the ground are dyed a crimson color by the sunlight.
Servants walked through the corridor from time to time, and many of them were obviously half-orcs. They were all tall and dark-brown skinned. They no longer had that unpleasant smell on their bodies, but instead tied their hair with animal skin buckles.
He stood up, dotted with some pale white bone ornaments, and his expression was numb and dull.
At the end of the corridor is another door carved with praises to the gods and angels. After opening this door, you come to Saruman's reception room. This is a comfortable space with dark brown floor coverings.
The shiny bear skin makes you feel like you are on warm grass when you step on it.
The air is filled with the fragrant aroma of pepper, cinnamon, licorice, and rosary ------- these can effectively help the mages recover their minds and strength. The stained glass inlaid around the living room depicts the Rohan Kingdom.
The angel wall lamps on the four walls emitted a gentle light.
This is the magical magic tower arranged by Saruman, where you can enjoy the enjoyment of an emperor.
Gangshedor knelt down on the bear skin on the ground, not daring to look around with his eyes. He always remained humble. After a few minutes, an unusually tall mage with white beard and white hair strode away.
He stood up, wearing a spotless white robe, and his eyes were as penetrating as an eagle. He sat on the luxurious sofa in the middle, took the mahogany pipe next to him, lit a full pipe of tobacco for himself, and then took a deep breath.
He took a deep breath into the sweet breath, and after a while he said:
"Tell me why you're here."
Gangshidor simply took out an exquisite money bag, and there was a clanking sound of metal inside, and then he lay down on the ground and said:
"There are three thousand platinum coins in this purse, sir. This was paid to me by a guy who claimed to be a gem merchant, just to ask me to do two things."
"Well." Saruman blew out a puff of smoke, closed his eyes and said, "I appreciate your loyalty and frankness, but I am tired of this topic, so I want to shorten this meeting.
To one minute.”
Gangshedor took out another bag:
"This is the first thing that person asked me to bring to you. He said that the gems contained in it are from another world - yes, it is a world, not a country. I know it very well.
This was confirmed.”
Saruman waved his hand, and the bag fell off, revealing a piece of egg-sized, heart-stoppingly black transparent crystal, slowly spinning in front of his eyes.
"It's interesting. I heard a fragile soul crying in this crystal. This is indeed not a product of Middle-earth. However, the soul in this soul crystal is too weak, and I have no interest at all -
----------You still have fifteen seconds."
Gangshedor nodded and said:
"The man said, if you are not interested in the first box, then please ask me to hand this box over to you, and then no matter what your reaction is, the platinum coins in that pocket will be mine."
