Chapter 2701 Beacon (Recently There Are Games to Kill Time)
After that, Gandalf ran away in a hurry with a livid face. Although what Fangzheng said was just a guess, he was really worried that the other party's guess would become a reality. Although Gandalf was not sure how Fang Zheng knew that the regent had learned of his son's death, but based on his knowledge of the regent, this was definitely not good news.
Watching Gandalf leave, Fangzheng also chuckled, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
To be honest, Gandalf is indeed a great character, but things have come to this point, he is not without problems.
For Fangzheng, to sum it up with that famous sentence...Gandalf doesn't understand people's hearts.
The biggest problem with Gandalf is this. He is great, but he also requires others to be as great as himself. Like him, for the creatures of Middle Earth, he sacrifices everything regardless of personal gains and losses, reputation and status.
But the problem is... other people really can't do it.
Whether it is the king of Rohan, the regent, the elves, or the dwarves, everyone has different ideas and different pursuits, and Gandalf is like a strict father. He just sternly stopped and asked his children to be obedient and well-behaved acted upon his orders. He knew he was doing it for their own good, but the problem was, other people didn't see it that way.
It's like in the movie, Gandalf wants the regent to cheer up, not to mourn the death of his son, but to lead an army against Sauron's army.
This truth can be said to be too correct, and there is no way to be more correct if it is correct. After all, for the future of Middle-earth, as a ruler, one must abandon personal relationships and fight for the future of the people at present.
This is simply the truth.
But the problem is, even if the truth is correct, it doesn't mean you have to choose it, right?
To be honest, when watching that episode, Fangzheng was reminded of a TV series he watched before, in which the minister advised the emperor to express his condolences, and then the emperor was furious, "Congratulations and obedience? It's not your son who died! Come on, tell me The son of the Minister of Rites is bestowed with death!"
Then the emperor instantly felt much happier.
Fangzheng estimated that when Gandalf reasoned with the regent, the regent thought so too.
It was you who instigated the formation of the Fellowship of the Ring, and then my son joined, and then my son died. Now you fucking dare to run to me to speak the truth?
If the regent hadn't been able to defeat Gandalf, he would have sprayed Gandalf with saliva.
I am sorry for your loss? It's not your son who died! If your mother has a son, I will hang your son to death here, you have the guts not to seek revenge from me for the sake of the overall situation of China!
You are awesome, you are noble, you are great. But I am not you Gandalf, I just want my son! No son, I care about the shit of Gondor, the shit of Middle-earth?
So this is why Gandalf is not welcomed by those rulers, because he is too "holy", in front of him, these rulers feel like a small, ignorant, ugly and selfish scum, plus Upper Gandalf often spoke to them in the tone of admonishing his sons, but any ruler with a normal IQ would not be willing to suffer from this.
But Fangzheng is different, he seldom shows the side of "I'm awesome, I'm great". Although he looks a bit luxurious in his attire, and occasionally likes to say some nasty jokes, he doesn't shy away from his love of food and entertainment. Beauty, at least in this way, you can get closer to other people, so that they don't feel that you are a completely different from them, that is, a sacred, great, and transcendent existence.
So no matter where Fangzheng goes, as long as he shows his strength a little, he can easily get closer to the ruler of that place.
After all, a strong person who has his own emotions and feels no different from ordinary people is easy to get along with.
But in the face of a great being who thinks about the future of world peace and the fate of mankind all day long, there is no common language.
This is why Gandalf warned those rulers several times, but they still fell into the tricks of Sauron and Saruman. Everyone can't pee in the same pot, why should I listen to you telling me this? You are not my father, are you? Even if you are my father, it doesn't mean that I want to listen to you.
Therefore, in Fangzheng's view, Gandalf...as a wise man who leads the adventure team on a journey of slaying demons and expelling demons, is okay, but he needs to negotiate with the rulers of various countries, and then use it It will be difficult for him if his own words achieve his goal.
Gandalf often accuses Sauron of luring the souls of others into evil, probing their weaknesses, and channeling and mastering them. But it's actually quite an amazing technology in itself, depending on how you use it. If you want to use it for harm, it will be as dangerous as Sauron.
But if you use it for your benefit, then you can achieve your goals smoothly.
Like Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, he lobbied the six countries and stirred up the situation in the world with his gestures. If this travels to Middle Earth, it will definitely be easy to persuade the three parties to form an alliance against Sauron. It will not be as embarrassing as Gandalf did, and in the end it will come back through miracles and the protagonist's halo.
In fact, the protagonists of Japanese anime also have this problem. It seems that those who can say good things and manipulate people's hearts are all villains.
But in fact, being able to speak well is also a skill, well, those who are immediately heard to be flattering and flattering are not called being able to speak, then they are not being able to speak.
The next few days were quite leisurely.
Gandalf went to the capital of Gondor, while the others stayed here. Gimli, the dwarf, seemed to be in love with Fangzheng's desserts. He would come here to eat and drink every afternoon tea time, and he even called it you anyway. People can't finish it... The elf prince is even more curious about Fangzheng's metal chariot. Every time he comes with the dwarves, he will stand aside and watch a few little girls gesturing at the metal chariot Although he may not understand what the three little guys are saying at all, it can be seen that the elves seem to be very interested in this special metal creation.
The ranger only came occasionally, and most of the time he was in the royal city of Rohan, flirting with the princess of Rohan.
Of course, this is not Fang Zheng's business.
"I said wizard, do you really think that Sauron will attack Minas Tirith?"
Maybe it was because he felt ashamed to always come here to eat and drink, so the dwarf Jinli would always find some topics to chat with Fangzheng.
"It's very possible. Of course, it doesn't rule out the possibility that Sauron's brain is lame, and he suddenly wants to attack some fishing port to eat some fresh catch."
"Hahaha, this is really interesting, I really want to see how Sauron eats fish!"
Hearing Fangzheng's answer, the dwarf Jinli burst out laughing and stroked his beard at the same time. This is also one of the reasons why he likes to come here. Although it is very comfortable in Rohan Palace, it is not very used to a dwarf. It is inevitable to be looked down upon.
But Fangzheng didn't care about his behavior. Although he was dressed more gorgeously than the nobles in the palace of Rohan, he looked at the dwarves very casually, and he didn't mean to treat them differently at all. Not to mention...the food here is really good and the wine is good too!
Jinli took a big sip of the wine and wiped his mouth with satisfaction. He had never drunk such a delicious wine. It felt more exciting than the fine wines from the palace or the dwarves. At first, the dwarves were not used to it. Spicy taste, but now he has fallen in love with this taste.
But this wizard is really... a little weird.
Glancing at the teacup Fang was holding at hand, Jinli shook his head. He also drank tea out of curiosity, but he couldn't get used to the taste. Occasionally, the man would drink something called coffee, which was so bitter that the dwarf doubted life.
On the contrary, the elf was full of praise for the thing called tea.
I really don't understand, when there is such a good wine, why do you have to drink that kind of weird-tasting tree leaves and bitter black water that makes you sick?
After taking another sip of wine, the dwarf suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at the opposite mountain.
"Hey, Elf! Do you see if my eyes are blurred? There seems to be smoke on the mountain over there?"
Hearing the dwarf's words, Fangzheng and the elf prince turned their heads to look in the direction of the mountain peak, and then they saw burning flames rising into the sky together with black smoke on the mountain peak in the distance.
"That's the beacon!"
The elf prince jumped up excitedly, shouted loudly, and then ran to the side and rode on the horse.
"Hurry up, dwarves, we're going back to the palace! Gondor calls for help!!"
"oh oh!!!"
Hearing the elf prince's shout, the dwarf was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and gulped the last sip of wine, then hurried over with short legs, and then the two were saying goodbye to each other in a hurry, Then leave immediately.
"Where are they going?"
Qianhu put down the book in his hand, frowned and looked at the two people who were walking away.
"Is there going to be another war?"
"That's right, the war is about to start again."
Fangzheng also finished the tea in the cup, and then stood up.
"This time... I want to see it too."
After all, this is the world of Lord of the Rings, and if I remember correctly, this is a big battle. Fangzheng remembered that the scenes of this war in the movie were extremely grand, and it would be too wasteful not to experience it for himself.
Just treat it as a pilgrimage to a holy place.
"Are we going too, instructor?"
Hearing this, Altina stood up hurriedly, while Fang Zheng shook his head.
"No, I'll go alone this time. You guys should be prepared here. If my premonition is correct, the restriction will disappear in a short time."
While talking, Fangzheng raised his head and looked at the sky.
