Today is December 24, 3018, the Lord of the Rings Conference held in the elves in the jungle city of Rivendale, the High Elves Territory of Nodo. ​​It was a very smooth journey!
Today, the elves, dwarves, humans, and Hobbits quickly reached a basic consensus on how to deal with this Supreme Lord of the Ring, and came up with a result that everyone felt was acceptable, that is, the complete ruin of the Ring!
Since this ring will make others feel uneasy when put on anyone's hand, then just destroy it directly, no one can get it!
Therefore, when the Hobbit Frodo comes forward to carry this Supreme Ring to the Doomsday Volcano of Mordor and promises to destroy it, the representatives of the three tribes who were quarreling quickly stopped the dispute and voluntarily selected the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, the son of Groyn Jinli, the eldest son and general of Gondor Prime Minister Boromire, the ranger Aragon, the elf prince of Sirvan, and three companions of the Hobbit who volunteered to join. In this way, a total of nine people formed a ring protection expedition to protect Frodo to Mordor.
In this way, this team of the Mordor dungeon was composed of four little dwarfs who fought basically equal to zero, two human weapon battles, one senior wizard, one dwarf main MT, and an elf hunter who had no babies and was not afraid of the leader's scolding.
Obviously, their nine-person group is very self-aware. They never thought of pushing the copy of the general boss So, but just escorting the first-level dwarf thief Frodo who had just learned to invisibility to reach the gate of the general boss area of ​​the Mordor.
"That... can I ask first, where are we going?"
After the candidate was decided, the meeting was soon announced by the elf king Ailon.
Then, as everyone with their own thoughts evacuated from the venue in a row, Pi Ping, who had just jumped out and insisted on joining the fun and asking for joining the ranks of the guardian expedition team, asked Gandalf and others in a confused look on his face.
Just now, he and Meli were not qualified to enter the venue, so they could only eavesdrop on the back of the pillars far away from the venue. So, the distance was a little far, and he just probably knew why those people started to quarrel violently.
Then, when Gandalf and Frodo stood up and said something, why the quarrel could end quickly, he didn't know what the reason was.
After a while, when he saw the big guys at the meeting, not only several people stood up and asked to join Frodo and Gandalf, but even their partner Sam rushed up from the shore next to the stream and asked to join, he and Meli couldn't sit still!
Based on the principle of not taking advantage of the bastards, they thought there was something good, and of course they could not be content with others. So, they rushed up so quickly and asked to join the so-called ring guard expedition team.
As for what the Ring Protection Expedition Team is going to do, they really don’t know much about it…
"Pipin and Meli, you guys..."
Shaking his head, Frodo looked at his two living companions with a little amused and cry.
“…”
"Little Habi, don't blame me for not reminding you: our Ring Protection Expedition Team is planning to send the Ring to Mordor and then throw it into the so-called Doomsday Volcano! This road will definitely be very dangerous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it will be a life-threatening death. You have to think about it!"
At this time, Boromir, who had left the venue, heard the Hobbit's question, and he lowered his head in Piping's ear and said in a slight manner.
Then he looked at Frodo again, then looked at Gandalf, the wizard in front who was turning his head and preparing to look at it, and quickly followed the others as if nothing had happened, leaving the place directly from the elves arch on the other side.
"Doom Volcano? Mordor? Very dangerous?"
"Is this true? We didn't know you were going so far, so if we want to quit now, is it still too late? Hello...?!"
Now, it was the frightened Piping and Meli who were both staring at each other.
They originally thought it was something interesting, but how could they know that it would be such a fatal task? When they were in Shire, they were already very satisfied to be hunted by the terrible group of black knights of the ring spirits. Now they still have to go to other people's Mordor's lair? They are really just scum with less than five combined combat power!
"well……"
After seeing the two little hobbits behind, the gray-robed wizard Gandalf could only sigh helplessly and shake his head, turn around and speed up to catch up with a naughty little girl in front of him who was walking briskly with a toy bear in his hand.
"Wait, Mr. Anne, don't you think seriously about it and join our Ring Expedition? Maybe... you will get some unexpected gains?"
Gandalf, who had taken several big steps before he could barely catch up with the little girl, quickly lowered his head and seduced him to the little girl with a disgusting look on her face.
Almost half of the members of this newly formed ring guard team are Hobbits with no combat ability, so Gandalf, who is worried that he may not have sufficient protection, is ready to drag this powerful little witch into the water!
He hopes that when he is busy with other things and has no time to clone, the little girl will take a little care in the team. In this way, he will be more at ease when he is not around?
In fact, in the last stage of the meeting, when others expressed their willingness to join the Ring Protection Team, Gandalf shook his eyes more than once and signaled that the little girl would join them quickly.
Unfortunately, at that time, she didn't know whether she hadn't seen it or what happened. She actually pretended to be a good baby, sitting upright on her chair, and she was still staring at her eyes, and she refused to get off the chair...
"What kind of messy things about the guardian team? This kind of thing that only three-year-old children can play, people stopped playing at a very early age!"
Without thinking, Annie just walked her own way, and she didn't even want to pay attention to the weird old man who was still standing up with a silly face.
Annie still remembers it very clearly that when she was three years old, she was already playing the Dragon Quest, so she would not have any adventures like these people now!
Isn’t this old man Gandalf just trying to fool himself into being a coolie and a nanny for him? Annie is not stupid, so she won’t be fooled by him!
Moreover, she was so stupid that she would never participate in this kind of escort a ragged ring and traveled thousands of miles to a crater.
Besides, she now has another plan of her own, and she has already found the dwarves she needs to hire, and even paid for the rewards in advance! So, she has to play in her own way so she doesn't want to play the adventure game of protecting the protagonist with these old, tall, tall and short fools!
Anyway, that's probably what it is.
“…”
What does a three-year-old child play? This almost choked Gandalf to death!
He, Gandalf, a human body, has lived for countless years, at least?
Think about myself, since 1000 of the Third Age, I received the order from the main god Aru and the other four other secondary gods Maiya, and came to Middle-earth as a sorcerer and wizard, guiding the people in Middle-earth to fight against the evil existence. In this way, according to the algorithms of humans, his body is already over two thousand years old...
And if we count from the time he was created by Ai Ru, Gandalf has lived in this world for more than 50,000 years!
And now, what he finally planned, which was a perfect plan that allowed mortals to rely on their own efforts and go through hardships to overcome evil, actually made this little girl a game that only a three-year-old child would play? This is really outrageous!
If it were something an adult would dare to say to him like this, he might have knocked it on his shoulders long ago.
"Well, then Mr. Anne, what are you going to do during this time? Do you want to stay here at Rivendell?"
If this little girl was really willing to stay in this dense forest honestly, Gandalf himself would not have much opinion.
However, he was afraid that when he was not here, the little girl ran out to use magic and tossed around, and then caused something terrible, so that he could not end it, so it would be difficult to deal with it! After all, he was sent by Eru to help and encourage people to fight against evil by the Middle Earth world, not to show the extraordinary power of God!
Therefore, he not only strictly demanded that he should not use it randomly, but also hoped that the little girl in front of him would not use it randomly!
And once this little girl acts recklessly, uses or spreads magic, there will be a big problem!
If one day, Gandalf can know what will happen later under the greed of human nature: in the future, it will definitely happen again, just like the Numanor people before. After humans become greedy, they will try to break through the God forbidden and gain more!
Even if something bad will lead to the second attack on Amenzhou? Another battle between man and gods?
"No, when you are about to set off tomorrow, I will also go and do my own business."
After remembering what she had planned before, little Annie answered absent-mindedly.
"What exactly is it? Can you tell me something about it? Maybe, can I still help a little?"
After hearing that the little girl had a plan, Gandalf frowned and began to ask tentatively.
"That's the greatest cause!"
Annie thinks that Gandalf will definitely not be happy to know what she is going to do!
Because what she is going to do is to liberate the creatures in the entire Middle-earth world from the dictatorship and oppression of the evil Amenian gods, and let the glory of freedom, democracy and equality spread throughout the Middle-earth world! Then, this Gandalf is obviously a vested interest, and in the future, he will definitely be the group of people who will be defeated?
So far, everything in Anne's own plan is ready, and soon she will surely surprise the humans in Middle-earth!
“The greatest cause?!”
"Hiss Anne Witch...I think it's better for you not to mess around in Middle-earth..."
It would be fine if the little girl didn't say it. As soon as she said this, Gandalf felt even more unsure! So he quickly accelerated two steps and directly blocked the little girl, and began to stare at the other party's big green eyes.
At the latest tomorrow morning, their ring guard team will be ready to set off!
If he didn't completely clarify this matter today, he would never be assured to leave like this! If this little girl causes something to cause trouble and asks the main gods Aru or Vera to blame him, Gandalf will have to be in trouble!
"Oh! You're really annoying..."
After seeing this old bearded man blocking his way again, Annie was so angry that she wanted to burn all his gray beard with a fire!
"Anyway, I will never tell you what I want to do now. This needs to be kept confidential for the time being!"
"At most... I can guarantee two things: First, I will not use magic in front of mortals! Second, I will not teach mortal magic casually! In this way, you should be relieved, right?!"
While talking, Annie's eyes were still spinning.
She just thought about it seriously. It seems that there are many loopholes in what she said? At that time, it shouldn't be considered as breaking her promise, right?
If you can't use it in front of a mortal, it means you can use it behind the scenes! If you can't teach yourself, it doesn't mean others can't teach you either, right?
So, language is a good thing, and it is very necessary for everyone to learn how to use it correctly!
After thinking about it, she quickly stepped forward and pushed the old man away from the way, and ran towards her residence. Tomorrow, she herself would leave Rivendell, so she had to seize the time to prepare some things well. She couldn't keep slapping and wasting time with this old man named Gandalf.
“…”
Squinted, Gandalf did not stop the other party anymore.
Looking at the little girl running happily, somehow, he always felt that the other party was a little uneasy and kind. If he really let him go, what bad things might happen then?
But...
This Anne, the other party is actually just a little girl, even if she can't see the passage of time in her... But Gandalf thinks that the age of this little witch is only about ten sun years in Middle-earth?
If you treat the other party as a little girl, no matter how hard she can make or make a mess, it will not be possible to cause any trouble, right? Maybe it’s just that she is just worrying about it.
No matter what race, shouldn't it be normal for a little girl to be a little naughty?
"What's wrong with you? Hello! Gandalf?".
Just as Gandalf was slightly stunned when he was looking at Anne's back, the envoy of King Dan II of the mountain at the foot of the mountain, Groyin, who had previously ventured with Gandalf to Gushan, walked to Gandalf carelessly and patted the other party's thigh and asked.
In fact, Groyin wanted to pat the other person's shoulder and say hello, but who made Gandalf so tall? He really didn't have many choices except slapping the other person's butt and thighs.
"Oh, it turns out it's Groyin, you!"
"No, nothing, I just was just a little worried that Mr. Anne Witch would do anything randomly..."
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, Gandalf replied in a hurry.
"You may not know that the little girl from the Qiao family, who is a powerful witch herself and possesses powerful magic and spells, can cause damage that you will never imagine!"
"Now, Middle-earth is in a turbulent situation, and Sauron's power and his allies are becoming stronger and stronger. We can't stand more chaos..."
After seeing that he was his old friend who was greeting him, Gandalf did not hide it much and directly expressed his concerns just now.
Then he sighed and gently patted Ge Luoyin on the shoulder to show his friendship.
After counting the time, the adventure of the expedition to Gushan has been decades. Now, not only is the little Habi Bilbo Baggins of that year old, but even this dwarf friend who is still a species of immortality, has grown old... Look, Ge Luoyin's red beard and hair, which was originally full of head, is now beginning to turn a little gray...
"If you're doing this, you don't have to worry too much!"
When Glory heard that Gandalf was worried about the little witch Anne, he waved his hand indifferently and said indifferently.
"Oh? Why do you say that? It seems that you are not familiar with that little girl Anne, right?"
Seeing the dwarf as if he knew this more than he did, Gandalf couldn't help but feel a little curious.
You know, even himself has been in Rivendell with Anne for nearly two months, and he doesn't even dare to say that he knows the little girl's thoughts and plans. How could this old dwarf who has just arrived here for only two days dare to make such promises?!
"Haha! Gandalf, it seems you don't know yet, right?"
After laughing heartily and looking up, seeing that Gandalf was indeed confused, Groyin quickly continued to explain:
"Well, I tell you, that's because: I and the awesome guys who came to Rivendale together, happened to accept the paid employment of the Excellency Anne Witch, and planned to work for her for a long time! So, I know part of her plan, and, believe me, Gandalf! I don't think she will cause any big trouble for Middle-earth, she is actually helping us!"
After thinking of the strange gems with powerful energy that he had put away, he wiped his messy big beard with a proud look on his face. This deal was really cost-effective.
The gem that looks like crystal, but emits a charming light and also has an incredible powerful energy. In Groyin's opinion, this is much better than the Aken gem that has more symbolic meaning than the actual meaning!
This is also the real reason why he made a decision on the spot after seeing the bag of high-energy crystals for the first time that he would make the decision to let himself and his subordinates be employed by the little girl.
"Work for her...what does she want you to do? Will you disclose it to me?"
After pondering for a moment, turning his head a little more and more, he found that there were no other people around, and there were no little hobbits who liked to eavesdrop on others' conversations, Gandalf quickly stepped forward and approached the old dwarf man and asked quietly.
He knew that with his long-term friendship with the other party, he would definitely not refuse to answer his own questions about inquiries about information.
"Oh! Of course! Why not?"
Since Gandalf had asked on his own initiative, Groyin would definitely not refuse.
"It's like this: Lord Anne Witch, she wants us to help her build some small iron pipes and some large iron pipes? She plans to make some magical gadgets!"
"Don't worry, Gandalf, with our dwarf following her, there will never be any big mess..."
Soon, Groyin briefly explained the things her employer asked her to make for her dwarves.
However, after receiving a satisfactory reply, Gandalf, who stood up, obviously did not notice the flashing eyes of Groyin when she was lowering her head and pretending to tickle?
"Just relax, Gandalf! I promise!"
That's right, the drawings that Anne Witch showed them before were indeed small iron pipes and large iron pipes, which was really just like that!
Creating iron pipes of large and small will not cause harm to the Middle Earth world, right? They are not going to build armor and weapons!
At most...it's just that there may be a little more iron pipes?
Then, it seems that it can also stuff black gunpowder into the iron pipe that is more powerful than the flash fire produced by the dwarves themselves, as well as those large and small iron balls or... lead bullets that can be put into the iron pipe?
Then... aim at the enemy and light the fire?!
What happened next was so beautiful. Groyin couldn't wait to create the sample and experiment with it himself! What is their little employer called this? It seems to be... an industrial revolution?
Now, even if the other party doesn't give a slight reward, they will be happy to do it in order to allow the Turin dwarves to directly contact these magical items and equipment, so they will ask them to work for the little girl for a few years for free!
"Very good! Since you promised Groyin, then I think we can start the expedition with confidence tomorrow!"
After finding out the little girl's next plan from the old dwarf's old friend, Gandalf nodded with satisfaction.
Since the little witch Anne was just planning to hire some dwarves to create some useless iron pipe toys for her, he really didn't have to be too nervous. After all, it was normal for children to play a little.
"Ge Luoyin, if... that little girl, if she makes any big mess, please be sure to send someone to notify me in time?"
Before he was about to leave, Gandalf quickly reminded his old friend.
In this way, with his old dwarf friend following the little witch, Gandalf can set out with confidence tomorrow with the Ring Guardian Expedition Team to launch the vigorous Ring Guardian Expedition. He knew that they would definitely not be too calm along the way!
They are doing serious things, this is a major event that concerns the survival of Middle-earth world. It is definitely not a game that only three-year-olds can play to protect the protagonist, just like the little girl said just now.
No! It's definitely not like that! Although it does look a little bit like it?
"Okay, Gandalf, I will..."
Seeing Gandalf turning away with satisfaction, Groyin sighed helplessly, muttered a dwarf speech that didn't know what the meaning of, then shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to leave.
Sometimes, there are some important things, even if your best old friend is on the other side, you can only say three points. Once you say too much, it may not be good for each other.
But at least, he didn't deceive the old man Gandalf just now, didn't he?
He had already told the truth just now. They were indeed hired by the little girl and planned to mass produce some iron pipes for her. Maybe, they would also need to modify the production process at that time? Anyway, it would not be a big deal, it would only be good for Middle-earth!
"If I can find you at that time, I will definitely send someone to notify you, my old Gandalf friend..."
———
"Today, the preceptors will embark on the road to the Doomsday Volcano... For you, those of you, have no vows, or restrictions to limit how far you must go..."
The next morning, when the insects, fish, birds and beasts in the dense forest were just about to welcome the morning dew of the new day, in front of an ancient stone gate in Rivendale, countless elves and envoys of various tribes surrounded here, seeing off the warriors who were about to travel.
Standing in front of the Elf Gate were the Hobbit and Ringkeeper Frodo, his three friends, Sam, Piping, Meli, Gandalf and the other four. They stood here, seemingly waiting for Rivendell's lord Elf King Ailon to make the final speech before departure.
"So, goodbye, but please don't forget your mission!"
"May blessings from humans, elves, dwarves and all those who yearn for freedom accompany you..."
After saying only a few short words in the end, King Ailon, who presided over the ceremony, said goodbye to the nine people in front of him and gave an ancient elf blessing.
"Come on, Frodo..."
After the program was completed, Gandalf, who was standing behind Frodo, said to the silent Frodo. He stepped out of the gate of Rivendell and allowed the expedition to begin the first step. He planned to let Frodo, the little hobbit who shouldered everyone's expectations, take the first step out.
Although it doesn't make much sense, he still hopes that everyone present can remember this moment and always remember everything Frodo and the others in the Ring Guardian team will give for Middle-earth!
“…”
After looking at his uncle Bilbo Baggins, King Elron, a little girl with an impatient look on his face... and other elves and deputies from all races came to the meeting for the last glance, Frodo turned his head silently, and under the silent blessings and sights of everyone, he began to officially walk out of Rivendale's elves' arch and embark on their unknown journey...
"Gandalff...we're going to the left or the right?"
However, just after walking out of the door, Frodo was in a little trouble.
He didn't know the way, and except Charles, he had never been to such a far place! So he didn't know whether the fork in front of him was to walk on the left or on the right. It would be bad if he accidentally made a joke.
"It's the left..."
Fortunately, Gandalf, who was walking behind him, reached out and patted his left shoulder in time, and told him the right direction.
“…”
"Uncle Ge Luoyin, to be honest, I actually don't really like them!"
After watching the members of the Rings Expedition Team who wanted to play the game of protecting the protagonist, they went further and further, until they could no longer see the traces in the forest, Annie tilted her head and said suddenly.
At this time, after the expedition team set off, it was Anne and the more than 200 dwarves she hired to start their journey.
"That's right! I don't care about them either!"
"So, I specifically reminded my son Jin Li last night, telling him not to follow those hobbits into Mordor and barely send it to the other side of the Anduin River, then that should be almost the same, right?"
Next to Anne, the old dwarf Ge Luoyin, who was riding on the back of a strong goat with thick horns, nodded in agreement and echoed.
He himself also felt that it would be a very funny thing to defeat Angma Witch King, the Demon Lord Sauron and the evil orcs under them by them, just relying on a hobbit.
To deal with evil, you should use their dwarf's big sword and axe to speak! Only by killing all the orcs and the demon king Sauron, can this Middle-earth world achieve long-term peace!
However, his voice seemed a little loud, which made King Ailon, who could hear him in the distance, glared at him with displeasure.
"Not care about them for now, it's time for us to set off! They go east and we go west!"
At this time, Anne, who was riding on a not-too-tall white foal, rode her horse to the elf King Ailon. She also chose to leave Rivendale today, and then, could so many people come to see her off and make her own benefit?
"Goodbye, the elf young white-faced uncle and big sisters!"
"We are going to save the world now. You will see that the expedition alone is useless! To defeat that Sauron, we still have to rely on us!"
"So, if you are bullied by others one day, remember to send someone to the west to send us a message!"
After saying that, Anne, regardless of King Ailon's stunned expression, directly called the goat dwarf knights and patted the little mare given by the elves under her crotch, rushed out of the elves' arch, and turned out towards the path on the right.
“…”
After watching the leading human witch and more than 200 dwarf goat knights come out one after another, King Ailon opened his mouth, but he still couldn't say anything.
Actually, he felt that if he wanted to save Middle-earth, it seemed that the people on both sides were not optimistic?!
Chapter completed!
