For some reason, even though Frodo was clearly at home in Bag End at this moment, he felt a surge of joy all over his body after hearing Gandalf translate and read the Elf language of Mordor inscribed on the ring in Common Tongue.

Indescribable fear.

I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but this Hobbit who has lived in the Shire since he was a child and has only had contact with the kind and simple Hobbit neighbors as well as the cold and aloof elves and loyal dwarves is now...

It was the first time in my life that I saw the corner of the boundless dark evil force that was far away in the horizon but seemed to be right in front of me.

Guanzhong said that at this moment, he saw a strange sound in the dark shadow behind the closed window in the room, which seemed to have received the influence of the "Ring of Dominance" in Gandalf's mouth and made a strange sound, and there were strange sounds all around.

Everything made Frodo instinctively feel extremely uncomfortable.

To be honest, if his trusted gray robe wizard Gandalf hadn't been beside him at this moment, he would have been a little afraid of facing the dark shadows and wouldn't have turned his head when he saw the first darkness in front of him.

Run away.

Fortunately, compared to the dark fear and hesitation that Frodo faced for the first time, Gandalf on the side behaved extremely calmly.

As if to comfort the highly nervous hobbit next to him, who was looking a little unbearable, Gandalf stretched out his hand and put his big, generous palm on Frodo.

Seeing that the hobbit whom Bilbo had personally entrusted him to take care of was no longer so frightened and his spirit gradually recovered, the wise gray robe wizard hurriedly continued to popularize the historical knowledge about the ring.

"As you can see, Frodo, this is the Supreme Lord of the Rings, which is extremely famous in evil legends. As recorded in the legend, this Supreme Lord of the Rings can even influence and ultimately control other Lord of the Rings.

Human will and body! This is an extremely terrifying dark force."

At this time, Frodo said nothing and slumped down on the chair. His mind, which had just relaxed a little, was like a helpless weed being crazily destroyed by the emotional tornado called despair. "This is

...This ring! How did it come to my hand all the time?"

"Ah!" Gandalf said, "It's a long story... Then let me tell you an extremely ancient and long-lasting story! If you tell this story in detail, I'm afraid it won't even take a natural year to finish, but it doesn't matter.

I will pick out some of the key points to tell you. I believe that after listening to this ancient story, you will understand many secrets about this ring, and the first thing you know is why this ring came to you in circles.

It’s in hand.”

"Do you still remember, last night I told you about Sauron, the Dark Lord of the ancient times. As rumors are spreading around the world, Sauron, the evil and terrifying Dark Lord, has returned to life again. Sauron has returned.

To his ancient fortress of Mordor, the Black Tower. In that dark gathering place where countless evil accomplices gathered, Sauron was like a darkness dormant in the shadows for a while. He must be planning something secretly.

"

"My God! That's terrible. I wish I had to meet him in my life!" said Frodo.

"I hope so." Gandalf said, "In fact, no one wants to face the evil and cunning dark tyrant. The tragic fate that has affected countless races from prosperity to destruction in the past has also made almost all living creatures talk about Sauron's name.

They all avoid them like snakes and scorpions. But no matter how delusional everyone is, the wheel of fate is still moving forward. We can't stop these delusions. We can only work hard to control our own destiny in our own hands. Sauron's conspiracy has not yet matured, but it is not yet mature.

I'm afraid it's about to start. We must do our best to prevent this from happening. Even if we don't grasp this terrifying opportunity, we must do everything possible to stop him."

"As for how the evil dark tyrant implements his evil ambitions into reality, it seems that he is still missing the most convenient weapon he has used in the past - the Supreme Lord of the Rings!"

"Among all the Lord of the Rings, the rings belonging to the three outstanding elves have never been infected or controlled by the Supreme Lord of the Rings. The dwarf royal family owns seven of the Lord of the Rings, and the ambitious Sauron has already recovered them over a long period of time.

Three of them, the others were melted into a pile of waste by the dragon's dragon flames. As for the Lord of the Rings belonging to the nine kings who came into contact with mankind, they had already helped Sauron for countless years and corrupted these nine into whatever he wanted.

Controlled Nazgul. The nine Nazgul have disappeared from this world for a long time. But who can be sure of their whereabouts? When the demonic shadow expands again, they may reappear in the world. Forget it, let’s not wait for now.

Talk about these evil Nazgul."

"It is precisely because of the situation I mentioned above that the dark tyrant is so eager to retrieve the Supreme Lord of the Rings that he forged with his own hands. For him, the Supreme Lord of the Rings represents terrifying power. It has long been

When he forged the One Ring, he poured most of the magic into it so that it could rule all the other rings. If he retrieved the One Ring, he would be able to command the Rings again. At that time,

He can even control the Three Rings of the Elves. In that way, all the forces and arrangements that the elves have deployed to counter him will be nakedly presented to him, and he will gain unprecedented power."

"This is the crisis we are facing, and it is also an extremely risky opportunity, Frodo. At present, Sauron and his evil accomplices have learned that the Supreme Lord of the Rings has not been destroyed. He spent no time

He has devoted all his efforts to find this ring, and perhaps this is his number one goal right now. This is his biggest opportunity to win, and it is also our best chance to defeat him once and for all..."

"Wait a minute, since this Ring is so important, why didn't the heroes who successfully fought against Sauron destroy the Ring as soon as possible?" Frodo shouted. "If the devil's power depends so much on this ring, why?

Will he lose this ring?" At this moment, the small ring was no less than a dragon with its bloody mouth open in Frodo's eyes.

"Sauron did not lose the ring, but someone defeated him and took the ring from his hand." Gandalf said. "In ancient times, the elves' national power was even more prosperous than it is now.

, many elves also maintain very friendly and close relations with humans. Humans from the Western royal family came to support them in their fight against the devil. This is a history worth remembering. Although darkness was imminent and war was everywhere at that time, great achievements and heroic

Fighting and deeds are enough to turn a desperate situation around. This is a complicated and tortuous history, but also full of brave and kind heroic history of intelligent beings."

"In short, it was not a single ethnic group that fought against Sauron, but almost all the mainstream good creatures you can think of participated in that battle. Of course, the leader of the main force that overthrew Sauron's tyranny was the Elf King Gilgar.

Ladd and the Western royal family Yin Landil, but both of them died heroically in the battle. Yin Landil's heir Isildur cut off Sauron's ring and took it as his own. Sauron's body was reduced to ashes and his soul disappeared.

After a long period of time, he was finally reincarnated in the Mirk Forest."

"After a while, the Lord of the Rings was destined to disappear from everyone's sight just like its gloomy fate. It fell into the great river Anduin and disappeared without a trace. Not long after defeating Mordor, the victory

The returning Isildur was marching along the river bank. When he came to Graton Plain, he was ambushed by the Orc army. In the battle, all his guards were killed gloriously. He jumped into the river, but the Lord of the Rings caught him while he was swimming.

Suddenly he slipped, and the orcs who discovered him shot him to death on the spot."

Gandalf stopped. "Just like that, the Lord of the Rings fell into the dark river mud of Graton Plain," he said, "and retreated from the stage of history and legend. Few people know his whereabouts and traces of his appearance.

But maybe at this moment, I can tell you as much as possible about that hidden history."

"A long time later, almost a long time ago, there lived a group of nimble little guys on the banks of the Wasteland River. Their appearance and customs were almost very similar to today's Hobbits. There was a status among them.

A very tall family, this family is not only prosperous, but also has a strong ability to earn wealth. According to legend, the ruler of this family is a wise and serious old grandmother. Among the young people of the ethnic group, there are

I met a young man who was curious about all living things, his name was Smeg.”

"As Smeg's playmate since childhood, another young man, Dego, would often accompany Smeg on adventures. His eyes were sharp, but his speed and strength were not as good as Smeg's. One day they carried the

Go boating on the Graton Plain.

Smeagol, who likes to explore, ran to the shore first to enjoy the flowers and plants, while Dego was sitting on the boat fishing. During the fishing, a big fish swallowed Dego's hook. Before he had time to react, the big fish

So he dragged him to the bottom of the river. He seemed to see something shiny on the river bed, so he let go of the fishing line and held his breath to fish it out."

"Then, Dege spent all his energy to get ashore in embarrassment. Something unexpected happened to him suddenly. When he washed away the mud in his hands, an extremely shining gold ring appeared! A pair of gold shining rings

The young man's mind was instantly filled with love. But at this time, Smeagol was hiding behind the tree and looking at him. When Dego looked at the ring blankly, Smeagol silently walked behind him."

"Exactly what happened by the river, except for the two people involved, almost no one knows. The only thing the relatives and neighbors of these two little hobbits know is that they were two people when they set out, but in the end only Smeagol was

One person returned to his hometown safely.

At the same time, Smeg, who wanted to take away this extremely special treasure ring from his best friend, learned about the ring through the reaction of his relatives and friends who would no longer see him after putting the ring on.

The powerful effect of this magical discovery almost permanently changed him.

From then on, he often wore a ring to spy on the secrets of everyone around him. Soon after, he was disgusted by everyone around him because of his abnormal and eccentric behavior. As if to take revenge on others, he learned to steal, like

Like a madman, he makes strange noises in his throat all the time.

Then, people began to call him Gollum and curse him viciously, just to drive this freak away from them. His grandmother drove him out of the place where the family lived in order to avoid conflicts."

"After being kicked out of the house, Smeg could only wander alone, with terrible and deep resentment welling up in his heart. However, fate did not let him go. One day, the weather was very hot, and he was in the pool.

Fishing. The hot sun shone on the lake as usual. This time, the bright and dazzling reflection on the lake made him burst into tears. Due to living in darkness for a long time, he almost forgot about the sun. He raised his fist and finally

Cursing the sun all at once.”

"Although it is not clear what unknown and mysterious event or creature inspired him, anyway, the ring holder at that age has since developed a new special interest in the endless darkness and unknown under the mountains."

"Before long, the poor man burrowed into the mountain and disappeared from everyone's sight. The Lord of the Rings also disappeared into the darkness. Almost at the same time, the

The evil master who forged this ring also came back from the shadows. I don’t know why, but even as evil as he was, he didn’t sense any sign that the ring still existed in the world.”

"Wait, why does this story sound so familiar to me? It's like I've heard part of it." Frodo seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became unbelievable, "Is it possible that this is what you are talking about?

The protagonist of the story is the little monster Gollum that Bilbo once encountered in the cave at the bottom of the mountains? No, how is this possible?"

"No matter what you say, this is a terrible tragedy." Gandalf confirmed Frodo's guess. "As I said at the beginning, the nature of any creature can be exploited. Maybe the Lord of the Rings is

The greed in Gulu's heart caused this tragedy. By analogy, similar tragedies may also happen to other members of your tribe. Regarding this, I dare not guarantee that it will not happen 100%."

"I can't believe that that little monster that purrs all day long is actually a hobbit! Even if the hobbit is just his past, this is too outrageous! This is simply unbelievable to many of my fellow hobbits.

It’s a huge shameful history!”

However, at this point, Gandalf's sworn expression did not allow Frodo to question the authenticity of this matter.

In fact, just by relying on the detailed introduction of the causes and consequences of this story, even the audience Frodo himself secretly believed in the authenticity of this entire historical story.
