Start with the Lord of the Rings

Isenger.

The upper floors of the Stone Tower of Orsanc.

Inside the black solemn hall.

corner.

On a small stone platform.

There is a crystal ball of true knowledge shrouded in white cloth.

in front of the stone platform.

Standing Aragorn with a serious face.

In front of the bookshelf in the room behind.

Morgan and Gandalf, Legolas, and Gimli were looking at Aragorn in the corner.

Not so long ago.

After Aragorn learned that this "Palantir gem" had been contaminated by Sauron, the person who used it would be noticed by Sauron as soon as possible.

Aragorn decisively proposed to use the Palantir gem.

As for why.

Of course, in order to explore the true attack target of Modo Sauron.

And Aragorn did so.

It was Harbalad, the "grey-clothed powerhouse" who led more than 30 Dunedin rangers, and brought a letter from Arwen to Aragon, as well as a hand-sewn king's flag, which symbolized the inheritance of Aragon. "The Banner of the King of Erendil" from the High Kingship of Isildur.

And Elrond's two twin sons, Aragorn's two brothers in name, also brought to Aragorn a letter and a message from Elrond, as well as a sword.

In the letter, Arwen recounted her longing for Aragorn, and made Aragorn feel confident and let go of his goal.

Lord Elrond's letter stated their guess: Mordo's target was Gondor.

Moreover, the army of Gondor attacking this time is not only the huge army of Modo, but also a pirate fleet that is likely to come from the south.

This is the news they just probed.

If all this is true.

So Gondor is at stake this time.

The letter said about the movement in Modo and the situation in Gondor.

But Elrond's message was about his daughter Arwen, which made Aragorn feel heavy.

After heaviness comes firmness.

The news from Lord Elrond is still speculation.

But Aragorn already had an inclination towards Modo's next dispatch.

But as Gandalf said, if there is not enough weighty evidence, it is impossible to persuade King Theoden of Rohan, and some other small forces to help Gondor.

Therefore, after Gandalf said that the crystal ball in his hand was the Palantir gem, and it was still contaminated by Sauron.

Aragorn made up his mind at once.

That is, even if he would face the Demon Lord Sauron, he would personally use the Palantir gem to get a glimpse of the movements of the Mortal army.

After Aragorn made his decision.

Gandalf naturally disagreed.

Because he knew better than anyone the danger of using the Palantir gems contaminated by Sauron.

With Saruman's strength, he will be influenced by Sauron and betray him.

The dangerous consequences of others daring to use Palantir for business are too difficult to predict.

However, it is related to the safety of Gondor's life and death.

It's about the future and Arwen.

Aragorn couldn't care less, and could only take a risk.

in front of the bookshelf.

"We. Am I going out?"

Legolas looked at Aragorn in the corner of the hall and said softly.

"go out?"

"Why are you going out?"

Gimli next to him immediately asked in confusion.

"Didn't it say that Sauron of Modo can see us through the Palantir gem?"

Legolas continued, looking at Gandalf.

"Get out!"

Before Gandalf could speak, Morgan suddenly said, "Frodo and the others are still struggling."

The voice fell.

Legolas and Gandalf quickly understood.

The expedition was too noisy.

It must have been known to Modo by this time.

However, before Saruman died, he only knew that the Lord of the Rings was on the Hobbit, but he didn't know who it was.

Presumably Modo Sauron is the same.

There were four hobbits in the expedition.

It is also necessary to reduce the exposure of expedition members to the evil eyes of Modo.

But Jin Li always felt powerless and irritable if he needed to think so much.

He immediately looked at Morgan: "What do you mean?"

Looking at Gandalf and Legolas again: "Didn't you say that using a Napalan ball would be very dangerous?"

"Can't we help Aragorn in time by staying here?"

It's just that Gimli didn't wait for someone to answer.

There was a sudden sound of cheerful footsteps outside the hall.

Then, two small figures appeared at the entrance of the hall, it was Merry and Pippin, the two hobbits.

"Come on, we can watch Aragorn outside."

Seeing the two halflings appear, Gandalf stood up at once, and went out.

Morgan stood up immediately.

Legolas followed.

Jin Li got up in a hurry and followed, and started muttering again: "It's like this again."

"It was Gandalf, and now even Morgan speaks riddles."

"Eh, wait."

"and many more."

At the entrance of the main hall, Merry and Pi Pin just stepped into the main hall, and Morgan carried them out like chickens one by one, and hurriedly shouted.

"boom!"

When the black temple door was tightly closed.

Aragorn took a deep breath, stepped forward, raised his hand and lifted the white cloth covering the Palantir gem.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed onto the strange crystal ball that was as black as ink.

evening.

A cold wind whistled outside the Orshank Tower.

Inside the stone tower.

The first floor of the restaurant where Saruman specializes in dining and eating.

Candles are bright.

The three long dining tables that were made up improvised were full of figures.

A seated hussar of Rohan who came with the expedition.

The other is sitting with members of the "Grey-clothed Powerhouse" rangers from the Aragonese in the north.

On the last long table sat Morgan Gandalf Aragon and other five members of the expedition, as well as Eomer, Elladan and Elohir, the two sons of Eldron from Rivendell. The two, as well as the organizers of the Ranger Group, Balhalad.

Of course there are two little hobbits.

Ent leader Treebeard is certainly qualified to sit at this table.

But because of his huge stature, entering the stone tower is torture, so he is still outside the stone tower.

The table was filled with all kinds of sumptuous food.

The food was brought from Saruman's pantry.

It hurts Merry and Pippin, who already take the food pantry as their own.

"cheers!"

"boom"

The delicate silver wine glasses collided together, making a pleasant sound.

Immediately, there was the sound of a gurgling cow drinking.

Then, one after another, a long sigh of joy and satisfaction came one after another.

After a burst of feasting like a wind and a cloud of food.

Everyone who had filled their stomachs a little started chatting with each other.

At the main table, Aragorn also looked at everyone, especially Gandalf and Morgan who made an important decision.

"It is already known that the target of Modo's attack is Gondor"

"Gondor is definitely hard to resist this time, Gondor desperately needs support."

"I decided to take the path of the dead."

Aragorn's voice fell.

The others didn't feel anything different, but Gandalf moved the tableware in his hand, and immediately raised his head to look at Aragorn with a serious expression.

There was also Eomer who had a similar action. Hearing Aragorn's words, he even forgot to chew for a while, almost swallowing the food in his mouth and coughing again and again.

Such a movement immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the table.

Gandalf was even more surprised: "The way of the dead?"

"That mysterious road where dead souls roam?"

"right!"

Aragorn nodded solemnly.

"You can't go that way, it's too dangerous!"

After he was relieved, Eomer immediately stopped him.

He was the third Marshal of Rohan, and he knew better than anyone present the horrors of the mountain road where the dead wandered.

There was once a Rohan prince "Bardo" in order to celebrate the completion of the Golden Temple "Meduseld", which is now the Rohan Palace in Edoras, the capital of Rohan, and brought a team of guards into the "Black Hall". Manci” (Black Manci: a fortress hidden in the White Mountains, similar to the Clarion Fort, is another refuge fortress of Rohan) not far from the road of the dead, but never returned.

Since then, the mysterious and terrifying road is also known as the "Road of No Return".

"No, I have to go this way."

Facing Eomer's excited reaction, Aragorn just shook his head solemnly.

Of course he knew the dangers of that road.

Knowing that the ghosts that roamed that path were the cursed souls of the oathbreakers who had betrayed his ancestor "Isildur (Isildur)" and hated them.

But now Gondor needs support in the face of Modo's army.

Everything is supported as much as possible.

Even a former betrayal.

"I know something about those undead and your ancestors."

"But, are you really sure that you can order the undead? Let them fight for you?"

After Gandalf pondered, he looked at Aragorn and asked seriously.

"certainly."

Aragorn nodded and said, placing a delicate sheathed long sword hanging from his waist on the long table.

"Anduriel. The Flame of the West!"

Gandalf murmured at once when he saw the long sword in front of him.

"This is the sword of Elendil that represents the king of Gondor."

Gandalf spoke softly, and then looked at Aragorn with a solemn expression: "All I know is that this sword has been broken?"

"The broken blade is recast to return to Minas Tirith!"

Aragorn spoke solemnly.

At this moment, Morgan and Gandalf felt the firmness in Aragorn's heart.

At the same time, it seems that he intends to retake the throne of Gondor.

"puff"

When Legolas blows out the candle.

The entire hall was not immediately plunged into darkness.

One after another in the sound of breathing.

Morgan lay flat on the simple bed, his mind moved slightly.

"Brush brush"

One after another virtual characters emitting a pale white light began to flash in front of him.

【.】

Look at the virtual data that keeps jumping out in front of you.

Morgan was heartbroken at this moment.

A few days ago, on the night of the end of the Battle of Horn Fort, he summoned the system to check the harvest.

For two points of soul power harvest.

He was neither surprised nor disappointed.

As his strength continued to improve, the difficulty of acquiring soul power also increased exponentially.

He has calmed down about it.

However, although the increase in spirit power is not enough for him to strengthen once.

But the increase in the progress of the world's exploration still makes him a little happy.

Faster than he imagined.

Perhaps, when the battle of Modo and Gondor is over, the exploration progress may increase to 20%.

If it does, I don't know if there will be another achievement reward.

The first achievement reward exploration progress: 1%;

The second time: 10%;

There are traces of exploration progress and achievement rewards.

Then when the exploration progress reaches 20%, the possibility of achievement rewards is still very high.

"call"

He let out a long breath.

Morgan looked at the virtual panel in front of him for a while before dispersing the data.

Inside the dark hall.

He turned over and felt the hard bed board under him and the icy coldness beside him.

He suddenly remembered his wife Tariel and his lovely daughter and son in the dark jungle.

Thinking about the picture he saw in the Palantir gem in Saruman's hands during the day.

Morgan couldn't help but worry.

The Battle of Hornfort in Helm's Deep has taken place.

The fierce battle of Gondor and Mordor will take place in the future at the same time.

At this time, in the north of Middle-earth, the Dwarf Kingdom of Erebo in the Lonely Mountain, the River Valley Gang in the Human Kingdom, and the Woodland Kingdom in the Dark Forest were also facing the attack and entanglement of the allies of Modo Sauron.

Think so.

Modo single-handedly fought against almost all the free races in the entire Middle-earth.

It's terrifying.

However, when he left Rivendell, he wrote a letter to bring it back to the Woodland Kingdom.

Presumably Tariel knew it.

At this time, I couldn't rush back to the dark jungle, and I didn't have time to rush back.

I can only bless Tariel and the two children.

The dark room is quiet.

The night was getting darker.

When Jin Li's rhythmic purring sounded again in the hall.

Morgan rolled over and quickly fell asleep.

The next morning.

When the first rays of the eastern dawn rise.

In front of the Stone Tower of Orsanc.

Morgan Gandalf Aragorn is saying goodbye to Enttreebeard.

The Ents of Fangorn Forest, without Treebeard leading them, dealt with Saruman.

This battle will never take back Isengard so easily.

Saruman is dead.

But Isengard's position matters.

How to deal with this still needs to wait for the Rohan King Theoden to negotiate with Gondor before a decision can be made.

before that.

Treebeard is also needed here.

Farewell to Treebeard.

Gandalf and Morgan Aragorn also faced separation.

At the appointment of Aragorn, Morgan decides to go to the Path of the Dead with his fellow Aragorn who is in desperate need of help.

Legolas and Gimli also said they would travel together.

Morgan can go to help Aragon.

But Gandalf was definitely not going to do it.

He is well-connected, knowledgeable, intelligent, and eloquent.

Whether it is to go to Rohan to ask for help in Gondor, or to go to Gondor to warn, you need Gandalf.

And Gandalf has a shadow.

This amazing king of horses is far faster than other horses.

Gandalf was fit to take on the responsibility of the fire captain.

As for the two hobbits, Merry and Pippin.

Morgan Aragorn's next journey was very dangerous, and they had to follow Gandalf back to Helm's Deep.

soon.

After a goodbye.

Gandalf took the two hobbits, Eomer and Rohan hussars toward Helm's Deep.

Aragorn led the two sons of Morgan Legolas, Gimli and Lord Elrond, as well as a group of Dunedan rangers from the "Grey-clothed Travellers" and moved quickly towards the Black Man Temple.

three days later.

Along the way, the team of Morgan Aragorn, who was full of dust, stopped.

in front of them.

It was a gloomy, dark, narrow entrance.

Above everyone's heads is the warm winter sun at noon.

In front of the entrance of the dark path, there is an icy biting chill that keeps overflowing, making people shudder.

"It's here"

Aragorn spoke in a low voice.

Everyone was shocked, and the "Road of the Dead" had arrived.
