Isenger.

Orshank Tower.

The black marble hall is as deep and heavy as a tower.

After the two wizards chatted for a while, they each pondered.

Standing Gandalf the Grey looked heavy and frowned.

Sitting on the bench, Saruman in the white robe seemed to be calm, with a shadow hidden under his face.

"As long as we move fast enough, we still have time to deal with Sauron."

After a while of silence, Gandalf spoke without hesitation.

Even Saruman is pessimistic about the current situation in Middle-earth.

"time?"

Saruman raised his face from the shadow of his bow and asked Gandalf, "Where did we get the time?"

"Sauron's power has almost recovered."

"Although he has not been fully reincarnated, his soul still possesses powerful magic."

"Although he is enclosed in a fortress, he can know everything."

Saruman continued to speak to himself: "His sight can penetrate dark clouds, shadows, land, and even flesh."

Gandalf frowned and looked at Saruman in front of him, but he clearly noticed something strange.

"Perhaps I shouldn't have come to find Saruman."

Hearing Saruman's completely different attitude from his own, and the words that began to sour from the other side's mouth.

Gandalf had secretly regretted this trip to Isengard.

At this moment, Saruman suddenly turned his head and stared at Gandalf slowly: "Do you know what I'm talking about?"

"A huge eye surrounded by flames."

Gandalf answered softly: "That is the Eye of Sauron."

"It is gathering evil forces, and soon, it will muster enough forces to attack Middle-earth"

Gandalf frowned more and more and asked, "How do you know this?"

"Of course I saw it with my own eyes"

Saruman spoke lightly, and this Gandalf immediately thought of one thing: the Palantir gem, also known as: "The Sphere of True Knowledge".

"Saruman, did you use the crystal ball of true knowledge?"

"It's too dangerous!"

Gandalf was startled, and as soon as he said that, he looked left and right, and he saw a round sphere covered by a black cloth on the stone platform in the corner of the hall.

Then he stepped forward.

Saruman followed Gandalf's footsteps, walked to the stone platform, raised his hand and lifted the black cloth covering it.

"why?"

"Why be afraid to use it?"

Saruman spoke indifferently.

"Because the whereabouts of other true knowledge crystal balls are unknown, we don't know if others are also using them."

Gandalf said and immediately took the black cloth from Saruman's hand, and quickly covered the dark black crystal ball on the stone platform.

It was just when he covered the black cloth and the palm of his hand inevitably touched the crystal ball of true knowledge.

Gandalf's mind instantly saw a terrifying giant eye burning with flames.

"That's the Eye of Sauron!"

"Why does it appear on this crystal ball of true knowledge?"

"Could it be that Sauron was watching here just now?"

At this moment, Gandalf suddenly reacted, and he realized a terrifying possibility.

Seems to have noticed Gandalf's strangeness.

Saruman walked to the bench in the corner with a playful expression, and looked at Gandalf: "It's too late, Sauron has already started his action."

"The nine have already left the Minas Demon Cave."

"The nine?"

Gandalf looked at Saruman in surprise.

"The nine, disguised as black knights, crossed the River Essien as early as Midsummer's Eve."

"Have they reached the Shire?"

"They will find the One Ring and kill its bearer."

Saruman spoke indifferently.

"No, Frodo."

Gandalf's expression changed suddenly, and he turned and walked out of the hall.

Saruman sneered at the corner of his mouth, just waved his hand.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The four thick stone gates closed immediately.

"You don't really think the Hobbit can fight Sauron, do you?"

Saruman on the bench spoke slowly.

Gandalf turned to look at Saruman with incredible anger and disappointment in his eyes.

"This time, no one can stop Modo's victory."

Saruman ignored Gandalf's eyes and finally said his purpose: "Let's join them, Gandalf."

Dark Forest.

Deep in the Woodland Kingdom.

In a hall with exquisite shape and exquisite decoration.

A group of tall, tall and beautiful elf girls with long brown hair were playing musical instruments.

Not far away, the Elf King Thranduil was reclining on the couch, tapping his fingers and closing his eyes.

At this time, an elf adjutant in silver armor walked quickly to the elf king and whispered a few times.

Thranduil left frowning and pondered for a while, then sat up and looked at the adjutant's order: "Legolas come to see me."

"Yes."

The elf adjutant left quickly.

Thranduil waved away the elf girl band playing, and after sitting on the couch in deep thought, he immediately found a piece of paper and quickly wrote a letter.

It didn't take long for Legolas to appear at the door of the main hall.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"Well, you go to Rivendell and give this to Lord Eldron."

Thranduil nodded and handed the envelope in his hand to Legolas.

after an hour.

Armed, Legolas walked out of the Woodland Kingdom.

He galloped towards the vast forest ahead.

Early morning after rain.

Everything on the washed earth becomes extraordinarily fresh.

The eastern sky is white at dawn.

East of the town of Bree.

In a sparse forest.

A team of six is on the move.

Two tall and four short, this team is naturally the Morgan team that just came out of Bree Town.

I escaped the Nazgul's pursuit last night.

Early this morning, the six-man team left Bree.

Because what follows is the reason for the wilderness mountain road.

So don't even think about riding a horse.

Before leaving, Morgan bought a lot of food supplements at the Black Knight Tavern and put them in the Dimensional Ring.

This time, everyone in the team only needs to carry their own small carry-on bags.

Everything else was put into the dimensional ring by Morgan.

This magical scene naturally fell into the eyes of Aragorn, who had just joined the team.

But he just glanced at the ring on Morgan's hand, and didn't pay attention.

"Where do you think we're going this time?"

"how could I know"

"Don't you know if you ask Morgan?"

"Why don't you ask?"

Listening to the back of the team, the four little hobbit people kept talking.

Morgan, who was walking in front, suddenly thought of those dwarves in Lonely Mountain.

Back then, when the Lonely Mountain Expedition team and the dwarves got together, they would chat tirelessly like this.

I didn't expect these hobbits to get together like this.

Come to think of it, this trip to Rivendell will not be boring.

"Uncle Morgan, where are we going next?"

At this moment, Frodo's voice suddenly sounded from behind.

Morgan looked back at the four little men behind him and said, "Rivendell."

"Our next destination is Rivendell."

Morgan's voice fell, and the four hobbits were talking again.

"Rivendell?"

"It's where the elves live, right?"

"Morgan is going to take us to see the elves?"

"The legendary elf?"

"I haven't seen what an elf looks like, how about you, Merry?"

"what?"

"Have you ever seen an elves?"

"No."

"How about you, Frodo?"

"I haven't seen it either"

The sound of joy continued from behind.

In front, Aragorn, who was walking side by side with Morgan, suddenly turned his head to look at Morgan and said, "Morgan, is your one also the Lord of the Rings?"

"Why do you ask?"

Morgan turned to look at Aragorn and smiled.

"The ability of your ring is amazing. Except for the Lord's Ring, I can't think of any other ring with such ability."

Aragorn also laughed.

For a ranger like him who spent most of his career in the wilderness.

He understands better than anyone how useful equipment with magical storage space capabilities can be.

"I do not know either."

"But it shouldn't, I showed it to Gandalf."

"It's a pity he didn't find out anything."

"But it doesn't matter. I got this ring for so long, and I didn't notice anything unusual."

Morgan shook his head with a smile, and continued: "Maybe it's just a magical magic ring."

"After all, there are too many secrets in this world."

Hearing Morgan's words, Aragorn also nodded: "Even Gandalf couldn't be found, it seems that this is the case."

Indeed, even Gandalf, who had lived for countless years and was extremely knowledgeable, could not find out, and probably so.

But Aragorn just asked casually.

After all, with Morgan's strength and great reputation, the ring in his hand would have been exposed long ago.

What he actually wanted to ask was Morgan's true identity?

As a human being, he can live from the expedition and war in Gushan to the present, and he still looks very young.

In the whole world, there is no other race of human beings who can do this except the Dúnedain whose lifespan far exceeds that of ordinary human beings.

And now Aragorn, as the sixteenth Patriarch of the Dunedain, naturally has the obligation, responsibility, and necessity to find out Morgan's true identity.

Not to mention the strength of Morgan himself, Morgan's more powerful place lies in his strong relationship network with the Erebor dwarf kingdom of Thorin Oakenshield in the north, the king of the valley state, and the elven king of Thranduil in the Mirkwoods.

Aragorn could well imagine the mighty horror of the hidden power behind Morgan.

It would be great if Morgan was really the bloodline of the "Duneain" who was out of the world.

It's just that Aragorn thought of a lot, but he still didn't speak easily.

Because he had asked Gandalf if Morgan had stated his identity, or otherwise.

But Gandalf said that Morgan was not interested in those, whether it was Dúnedain or not.

It was because of Morgan's attitude that Aragorn didn't want to speak rashly.

Because this question may not be asked by others, but as the current Duneidan patriarch, it is not easy to speak.

After all, his relationship with Morgan was far from the level of Gandalf and Morgan.

After thinking about it again and again, Aragorn did not ask.

The six-man squad moved on.

The day was getting brighter, and the red sun rose in the eastern sky.

The warm sun shines on the earth in autumn.

It has been raining for several days.

Finally saw the sun again today.

Walking on sparsely forested hilly mountains.

The mood of the entire team also became brighter with the sky.

half a month later.

The six-person team walked out of the vast Chit Forest and arrived in front of the Weak Water Swamp.

The sky was overcast.

Looking at the stinky water swamp in front of me.

Except for Morgan and Aragorn, there was no extra expression on their faces.

The four hobbits looked at the skeletons that could be seen everywhere in front of them, the giant blood-sucking bullfly hovering above the stinky mud, and a mud trail that was not a road at all.

One by one's expressions immediately became hesitant and difficult.

"Can we detour?"

Merry looked at Morgan with a ponytail beside him and asked.

"No, we avoided the main road."

"If we bypass it, our travel time will be at least one month longer."

Morgan shook his head and said.

He naturally knew that the swamp in front of him was difficult to walk.

But in order to avoid the Nazgul, the team gave up on the road, and this swamp was the only way to go.

Hearing this, the hobbits immediately gave up.

"You don't have to be afraid. This swamp is not very large. Let's hurry up and get out in about three days."

Aragorn smiled and comforted the hobbits.

Compared to other bigger and more dangerous swamps he had walked through, this swamp was just a small swamp.

"I'll lead the way, I have experience with this."

Aragorn said and stepped forward.

Morgan nodded. He was familiar with the road from the Shire to Rivendell.

But this swamp, he really did not walk.

Aragorn was familiar with this.

He had traveled deep into Mordo's larger and more terrifying Death Swamp, and even caught Gollum there.

Aragorn stepped forward and stuck a wooden stick in his hand a few times before stepping into the smelly swamp first.

Four days later.

The six-person team walked out of the weak water swamp.

ten days later.

Walk in the bare wilderness.

The six-person team saw a huge mountain top in front from a distance, and above the top of the mountain stood the ruins of various tall buildings built by man.

On a vast and boundless barren wilderness, the towering ruins on the top of the mountain are naturally eye-catching.

A few hobbits were only a little surprised.

But in Aragorn's eyes, his eyes were full of complexity, emotion, and sigh.

This top of the wind cloud is of extraordinary significance to Arthedan, a descendant of the royal family of Arno.

"That's the top of the wind cloud."

Aragorn looked at Fengyunding and said softly, then looked beside him: "Morgan, shall we rest there tonight?"

Morgan, who had already seen the change in Aragorn's mood, just hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

He is no stranger to this wind and cloud top.

After all, every time you go to the Shire, you can always see this majestic ruined mountain from the avenue.

With a memory plot, Morgan, who was afraid of accidents, did not plan to go up.

But this was the first request Aragorn had made to himself.

Morgan couldn't refuse.
