Chapter 244 Location Sharing Turned On
Chu Xin's move directly transformed Frodo from the protagonist of "The Lord of the Rings" back into 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 situation 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 neglected ruins, 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 got a glimpse 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, a 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 many changes in Middle-earth have Sauron operating behind the scenes.
Wow!
Chu Xin lowered his height 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 said that, he inserted the tip of the slender phalange 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-like 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 calm Eye of Sauron suddenly ignited into clusters of blazing flames.
His pupils suddenly dilated and he stared northwest, showing great excitement.
An invisible thread came from afar, connected to him, and shared it with Sauron's nine Nazgul.
"After so many years, my time is finally coming again. Angmar and Kohamul, go and get back what belongs to me. No matter who it is, they will be killed without mercy." Sauron thought this way and conveyed the voice of his thoughts. Got out.
As he gave orders, nine tall figures shrouded in pitch black robes appeared.
There was only darkness and hollowness in their drooping faces, and there was also nothing at the joints between their cuffs and their hand armors.
It was as if nine invisible invisible men were wearing clothes and armor.
The Ringwraith, also known as the Nazgûl and the Black Knight.
In the second era, nine outstanding humans obtained the 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. Something that is neither human nor ghost.
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 murderers 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 surely 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 longer. These long useless days 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 chariots." Sauron howled angrily.
Da da da!
The nine Ringwraiths stopped chattering and rode away on their ghostly black horses.
In the air, a fallen flying beast with wings followed closely.
…
Kingdom of Gondor.
A city made entirely of white boulders leans against the tall mountain wall, with layers of structure like a birthday cake, all the way to the white palace on the seventh floor at the top.
This is the current capital of Gondor, Minas Tirith.
But it has a simpler and clearer name: White City.
The pure white city is backed by mountains and facing the plains and rivers. It shines under the caress of the sun, like the holy residence 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. Its comprehensive strength is not that of Rohan and Rohan. Valley State can be compared.
But it also directly shows that after the return of Sauron, the situation in Middle-earth is in danger, and the survival of mankind is at stake.
"Huh~"
At this moment, in the National Library, Gandalf was holding a pipe in one hand and flipping through dense volumes with the other. He was so busy that he didn't take a puff for several minutes.
After Beefrodo, he rushed here non-stop to check out all the information about the Lord of the Rings. Among them was the whereabouts of the Lord of the Rings that he was most concerned about. From the clues, he could roughly judge what Bilbo left behind. Not genuine.
"Alas~"
Gandalf looked up at the bookcases on the wall that were more than twenty meters high, and couldn't help but feel troubled.
There are so many files 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 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 letting him Give help.
At the moment, Gandalf has just arrived in the library, and the 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 to his resolute eyes, his facial features are softer. He looks like a melancholy young poet or 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. 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 fighting, 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!"
No matter how one sentence could make the wizard Gandalf the Gray choke on the tobacco, his nose would burst with snot.
"Tell me the details!"
"Just now, Rohan sent a messenger to convey the 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 Lindon, 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 eased relatively recently, and with Boromir guarding the 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 the two walked out of the library basement, they saw Boromir guarding the door.
The elder brother has a more resolute appearance, a stronger figure, and has the perfect temperament 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 quickly, "Hey, listen, I don't have the 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." In dire straits.”
"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 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~~"
At the edge of the palace square, Denese, the prime minister of Gondor's ruler, was looking down at the two figures going away, his frown revealing full displeasure.
He did not like Gandalf, but respected the white wizard Saruman.
When he sees his son hanging out with annoying people, he naturally doesn't feel good about his 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. He is as 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 lot of mixed feelings.
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, he subconsciously felt a trace of resistance. For some reason, he was actually reluctant 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 was extremely reassured and trusted 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.
Not the temperature change on the body, but the senses 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 Chapter)
