Chapter 749 The Ring of Power Cannot Be Destroyed with Power
"Is there such a thing?" This is the first time Zhao Mai has heard that killing around the Supreme Lord of the Rings will enhance its power. However, if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible. Isn't the design purpose of the Supreme Lord of the Rings to twist the good into evil, then strengthen itself and make Sauron stronger and stronger? Apart from anything else, the newly "born" Sauron was much weaker than he is now. Without the help of the Lord of the Rings, he would not have been able to organize the forces of Mordor, build the evil black tower, and survive the destruction of his body. Look at your territory with a big fire eye. Even Melkor back then didn't have such ability.
Zhao Mai looked at Gandalf and was thinking about another possibility: Without the influence of the will of the world, there would naturally be no help from the will of the world. Although he has strong combat power, he is not taken seriously by the "main plot" in the end. . Although neither the elves nor Gandalf said it, they must still have doubts about their identity, or they must have a grudge. If Zhao Mai was full of righteous power at this time, then his "name" would definitely be known to the two of them, and maybe this matter would not exist.
"This is a sacrifice." Aragorn suddenly said: "As a bait, you will face Saruman's full attack, and perhaps Rohan and pirates raiding from the southern coastline of Gondor. Whether it is It is too dangerous for either Twelvedor or Glorfindel. If we act quickly, we can still cross the Misty Mountains. I would rather everyone bear the risk together than I want to pass my risk on to others."
Hearing this, Zhao Mai couldn't help but glance at Aragorn: "Thank you for speaking for me. But you are wrong about one thing. After I left, the danger actually transferred to you. I have always only caused harm to others. Danger... Oh, I kind of understand. Because of my fighting ability, the entire team will be in danger of losing balance. The Ring will find a way to use its actions against me as a breakthrough to make the team fall apart. Is there still such a consideration? ?”
Elrond nodded, and then said: "I once stood in the Mount Doom with Isildur. Behind me was the coalition of elves and humans. The evil army had collapsed. But Isildur did not destroy the Lord of the Rings. I... was not able to stop him. No, this statement is not accurate, I did not stop him. This has nothing to do with ability, it is my heart that made the choice, just like Isildur's choice. At that time, I Understand, what can destroy the Lord of the Rings is not an army, but the power from the heart. Humans and elves have failed, and it is difficult for dwarves to succeed, so all our hopes are placed on halflings. Buddha Rodo, you have a great responsibility. Teveldo, maybe you can take Frodo all the way to the Doom Mountains, but what gets there is only Frodo's body, and you cannot accept those tests on Frodo's behalf."
Zhao Mai looked at the halfling, and Frodo also looked up at Zhao Mai. Finally the tall one said: "Okay, I agree with your plan. But Frodo, you will miss the glorious scene of me charging into the battle and killing Saruman's army!"
"I believe you can do it." Frodo came over and hugged Zhao Mai. The halfling's body is very light, and he has begun to become thinner under the influence of the Lord of the Rings. If this continues, he will gradually turn into Gollum or even a Nazgul.
"Without further ado, I'll start preparations now. Gandalf, you came from Orthanc Tower and know about Saruman's situation. What are the strength of his troops? What kind of equipment does he have?"
"He used the power of magic to transform the orcs, and continued to twist the already twisted creatures, making them more evil. They were stronger and more powerful and could endure more pain. I once saw a strong orc who was collapsed The scaffolding pierced his abdomen, but he didn't make a sound. After pulling out the wood fragments, apply some medicinal wine and continue working. The number of strong orcs like this increases every day, and the transformation work never stops." Gandalf said worriedly : "At the same time, Saruman ordered the orcs and goblins to cut down the Fangorn Forest next to Isengard and turn the hundreds of thousands of large trees into firewood to provide fuel for his factories. He also built a dam on the Isen River , to drive his waterwheel to provide power. It is no longer a palace of wise men, but a workshop for making war."
"It's really a pity." Elrond said: "Your previous warning was correct. The White Society has been infiltrated by Sauron's power, and Saruman is an example. But I don't understand how Saruman interacted with Who was contacted by Sauron?"
"Saruman possesses a crystal ball of knowledge, which was made by Feanor, the ancient Noldor elf. He was also the maker of the Silmarillion and the most skilled elf craftsman in history. The crystal ball of knowledge was later given to the Dundain people - Ancestor of Aragorn, but gradually lost in the turmoil of history. Sauron obtained one there by capturing Minas Itil. Saruman was probably attracted by Sauron's power when using the True Knowledge Crystal Ball. Impact. But we don’t know when it began, or how deep Saruman’s depravity went.”
"The power of darkness is always pervasive. We must always be careful. Even in Rivendell, there will always be whispers of darkness." Elrond suddenly said: "The reason why Gandalf and I asked you to come , because you all have one thing in common: you have withstood the test of the Lord of the Rings. Gandalf and Aragorn both know that Frodo is keeping the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and there have been countless opportunities to snatch it, but they have always been able to abide by justice and have not been challenged by the Supreme Lord. The control of the Lord of the Rings. And Frodo and Tverdo both had the experience of being in contact with the Lord of the Rings, and then they were able to let go, which is commendable. Therefore, I dare to tell you about this strategic deception operation."
"Do you suspect that there are enemy spies in Rivendell or even the Fellowship of the Ring?" Zhao Mai thought for a while and said: "Well, let's just say that Gandalf is visiting and takes Frodo with me. Let’s set off first, and let Gandalf and Frodo hide during this period to see how everyone reacts?”
"I also have such considerations, I can give it a try. I will strengthen Rivendell's vigilance and strengthen monitoring."
"By the way, I have another suggestion." Zhao Mai said: "I don't have any evidence to support my point of view, but I feel that there is something wrong with Hart. You must be careful. There are also two blue-robed disciples of Saruman. , maybe they are still loyal to Saruman, and we must not let them know the whereabouts of the real team, but we can tell them my whereabouts."
Elrond nodded: "I will consider it. Tverdor, when are you going to set off?"
"Any time. I only need three things, food, makeup and the location of Glorfindel. I will attract Saruman's attention as soon as possible!"
