In the Morgul Valley woodland in northern Ithilien, in this wood that has withered due to the volcanic ash of Mordor and the dark magic of Sauron, there are two hobbits wearing elf cloaks and A strange humanoid creature who was almost naked, wearing only a tattered loincloth on his crotch, was slowly marching in the direction of Mordor.
It turned out that these three people were Frodo Baggins, the ring bearer of the original Lord of the Rings expedition, and his gardener Samweis Gamgee. After being caught by the two men, they had to use sharp swords to kill them. In the name of the baby ring, he swore that he would lead the way and take them both to Mordor and to the monster Gollum in Mount Doom.
Before that, they had been captured by a group of Gondor rangers east of the Anduin River and brought to the south by the Gondor general, the son of Faramir, who was also the prime minister and regent of Gondor. Of Osgiliath!
That Faramir, after knowing their identities, actually wanted to take Frodo and the Lord of the Rings to Gondor and bring them to his father, the regent Denethor?
But later, after seeing the Nazgul Knights riding monsters like flying dragons, really chasing after the Lord of the Rings, and constantly flying and searching over the western city of Osgiliath, I didn’t want to Faramir, who brought the danger to Gondor, thought for a long time and finally released Frodo, Sam and Gollum who led the party, and let the three sneak away from the sewers of the western city of Osgiliath .
Later, Sam and Flo were brought here by the leading party Gollum!
According to the weird-looking Gollum, they only need to bypass Minas Morgul, cross the Ifildus Mountains from the Spider Pass trail and enter the Gorgoroth Basin, and then they can see and go directly to Mount Doom.
Of course, there is a prerequisite here, which is: when entering the Gorgoroth Basin, don't be caught by the patrolling orcs! After all, Gorgoroth Basin is the core area and back garden of Mordor. There are not too many orcs in it!
"Hurry up! Follow up, little hobbits!"
A dozen yards ahead, Gollum, who was walking on all fours, kept turning his head to greet the two hobbits who were falling behind.
"We'll be there soon, Mordor, it's not far!"
Here, it is indeed not far from Mordor! From time to time, they can even feel the terrifying vibration caused by the eruption of Mount Doom or the activation of evil magic in Minas Morgul!
The closer they get to Mordor, the more Frodo and Sam feel the evil and terror in this land...
The continuous black in the distance has no vegetation at all! Right now, those mountains that have been completely burned into black by the volcanic ash and high temperature of Mount Doom are already in sight. They only need to climb over those mountains. Inside, there is Mordor!
"It's not safe here, hurry up! Little hobbits, if you don't want to be caught by the orcs..."
Gollum was captured by the orcs of Mordor and tortured severely for a period of time, but he never wanted to fall into the hands of those demons again! She still remembers the other party's torture methods that made her miserable, unable to survive or die, and she never wants to try it again!
"Hurry up, follow up!"
Like a beast, he crawled quickly on the ash-filled ground on his hands and knees. While looking around warily, Gollum would stop from time to time to greet the two hobbits who were walking slowly behind him. people.
If his beloved baby hadn't still been in the body of the hobbit named Frodo, Gollum might have abandoned them long ago and ran away from here alone!
Although it has been tortured by the Lord of the Rings and turned into a human form, Gollum will never bring his beloved Lord of the Rings to Mordor! When it gets the treasure, it will definitely take its treasure to the north, to the north of the Misty Mountains, or even to the north of the Gray Mountains. Anyway, it must be far away from Mordor!
"Master's baby..."
While he was waiting for the hobbit, Gollum's eyes unconsciously moved to the neck of Frodo, who was walking behind with his head bowed.
"No! That's our baby!"
"It was the despicable Bilbo Baggins who stole the treasure! It is ours, our treasure..."
"Despicable, shameful hobbit!"
"That's right..."
"Those damn hobbits, they are all a bunch of thieves and liars, they stole our treasure!"
"We must find a way to get it back..."
After running forward quickly on hands and knees for a distance again, Gollum squatted on a rock. While waiting for the two hobbits behind him to catch up, he actually used a sinister expression and different tones to speak. Talking to yourself in a low voice, as if you were talking to another person?
Although Gollum cursed hobbits in his mouth, in fact, Gollum was originally a hobbit.
He originally came from the Stoors, one of the three branches of the Hobbit. He was born in Romania. His original name was Smeagol, not Smaug. Don’t get it wrong! In the early days, Smeagol lived with his grandmother's relatives in the great plains near Loningleron.
What happened at the beginning was this: One day more than five hundred years ago, on Smeagol's birthday, he and his relative Dego went fishing on the Graton Plains north of Lothlórien Forest. Ge was dragged into the river by a big fish. After discovering the Supreme Lord of the Rings, everything began to look different...
In order to obtain the magical Lord of the Rings treasure discovered by Dego, Smeagol strongly requested Dego to give him the ring as a birthday gift! However, how could Dego, who was deeply attracted to such a good treasure just by looking at it in the palm of his hand, fall for Smeagol's evil deeds?
Therefore, De Ge sternly rejected him! In Dego's view, what about the other person's birthday? A birthday is a big deal, right? Is it okay to make such an excessive request on a birthday?
De Ge felt that if he gave a gift, it would be a sign of affection; if he did not give a gift, it would be a duty! Where can I find someone who uses the name of my birthday to extort property?
Therefore, the shrewd Dego refused his brother Smeagol's unreasonable request without hesitation! As for a birthday gift, the other person can just pick out a live fish in a bucket and just show some interest!
Then, naturally, Smeagol, who had been deeply fascinated by the treasure ring, became angry and evil, since his good brother Dego didn't even give him this face. , then their brothers will have nothing to do!
Therefore, he thought of the only good way to successfully get the ring, and that was-grab it!
So soon, in the fierce fighting and contention between the two sides, Smeagol, who struck first, successfully strangled his brother Dego to death, and got the Supreme Lord of the Rings in the opponent's hand as he wished. His baby...
After disposing of the body, in the days that followed, Smeagol, who was gradually corrupted and distorted by the Lord of the Rings, began to become greedy and indolent.
For example: did he use the Supreme Lord of the Rings to steal food and property, or use the invisibility function to spy on the beautiful girls in The Hobbit taking a shower? And carrying out some kind of night raid and a variety of other vicious yet pleasurable behaviors?
Smeagol has not found the correct way to use the Lord of the Rings, or is this the correct way to use the Lord of the Rings? Anyway, not long after that, what he did was quickly discovered by the Zhou people and they reported it in time!
His crimes were quickly exposed when angry Sturs stormed into his house, where stolen money, food, and certain women's personal belongings were found. The Stoors of Long accused them of evil, murder, theft and other unspeakable crimes, and expelled them from the gathering place of the tribe, leaving them to fend for themselves in the wilderness!
With no choice but to have the Ring but no other power, Smeagol, unable to resist, had no choice but to run into a cave in the Misty Mountains and live in seclusion.
Under the influence of the negative power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, his body and mind were slowly distorted, and he lived a life of drinking stream water when he was thirsty, eating raw insects, fish, birds and beasts when he was hungry, and using the ground as his bed when he was sleepy. A low-carbon and environmentally friendly life with the sky as its quilt.
So, hundreds of years passed like this, and apart from greatly extending his lifespan and splitting his personality, he actually gained nothing from the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings...
As of today, Smeagol no longer remembers his original name. He only knows that he is called Gollum. He will try his best to get back his treasure from the two hobbits behind him. Their baby was taken by Bill. Beau Baggins stole the treasure...
Of course, it has to plan this matter slowly, but can no longer do it forcefully!
Because, having already tried it, it found a very frustrating thing: in terms of force, it seemed to be far from the opponent of the two hobbits whose combat power was less than five? This is really a bad thing!
"Mr. Frodo, here you go! Eat some first..."
After looking at Gollum in the distance, Sam, whose lips were a little dry, pursed his lips. While tightening his backpack, he walked towards Frodo, who had just woken up and was not in good spirits. He handed over half a piece of the elf’s magical biscuit, Rambas.
They only need to eat this kind of elf biscuit that contains the strong vitality of Aman every day. As long as a small piece or half a piece, it can provide the eater with abundant physical strength and life energy, which is better than some compressed biscuits and so on. Much stronger.
"What about you? Sam, why don't you eat some?"
After taking a bite of the biscuit and starting to walk slowly to keep up with Gollum in front of him, Frodo was also a little confused, why didn't he see Sam eating breakfast?
"I'm not hungry yet. At least, I might not like Rambas, an elf like this..."
After swallowing and thinking about the few cookies left in his backpack, Sam thought about it and refused.
Now, Frodo, who is wearing the Lord of the Rings, must be in more need of nutrition and energy than himself, whether it is physical or mental torture. Therefore, Sam decided that he would only eat a little bit when sleeping at night every day. That's it.
"Sam..."
Hearing what the other person said, and looking at the other person's fat face and chapped lips, Frodo seemed to understand something.
How could they hobbits skip breakfast? When they were in the Shire, they ate several meals a day! Moreover, Elf Biscuit Rambas would never be considered unpalatable. He believed that no hobbit would be willing to refuse such delicious food!
"Well, actually we don't have much left... We have to save some, otherwise, there won't be enough to eat!"
"You'd better eat quickly first. Don't worry, I've already divided it up. There should be enough..."
Thinking about the round trip, Sam felt that as long as they kept enough rations in the desolate areas of Mordor, they should be able to get food from other places on the return trip.
"What's enough?"
Frodo was still a little confused about Sam's plan. Those biscuits should be enough for the two of them to eat at Mount Doom, right? Then why keep it?
“Of course I’ll leave enough to eat on the way home!”
On the contrary, Sam looked at Frodo in surprise. Now he secretly kept the rations so that he would have something to eat when he returned and not go hungry. Otherwise, something big would really happen then!
"..."
For some reason, Frodo suddenly became a little depressed when he heard Sam's words.
Because, he felt that his own body was undergoing some kind of change, and he even vaguely felt that he seemed to be a little different?
Thinking about Gollum now, he felt that even if they finally completed their mission and destroyed the Supreme Lord of the Rings, he himself would probably never be able to return to the Shire...
This feeling... is strange... as if he no longer belongs there? This is why he feels sympathy for Gollum and is friendly to him.
Frodo felt that he was no better than Gollum? Maybe, he is far inferior to his uncle Bilbo Baggins, right?
His uncle had kept the Ring for so long without any major incident, but as for himself...
"Little hobbit!?"
"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and speed up your pace, it's not safe here!"
Just when Frodo and Sam were about to say something, Gollum, who was leading the way and had been waiting impatiently, urged them in a low voice again.
…
"Mordor..."
"And... hobbits?"
"Huh huh huh, yes! That's it. Hurry up and run, Hobbit..."
"Go to Mount Doom, and throw down the Supreme Lord of the Rings. Your mission will be completed..."
On the top of the mountain not far behind the two hobbits and Gollum, there was a tall human or elf wearing a black cloak and a hood on his head. His appearance was unclear? He was hiding next to a tall tree trunk, staring coldly at the three small figures walking in the dense forest that had been burned by the flames.
"And by that time, my mission will be completed! Hehehe..."
"Don't worry, Master... you will be able to come out soon..."
Waves of old sneers rang out, and the man watched the hobbits calmly disappear into the ashes-filled dense forest. After a while, he turned around and left.
————
"What were you just saying!?"
"You bad guys, you actually want to take back my Orthanc Mage Tower? No way! Don't even think about it!"
An angry little girl screamed, making the originally friendly atmosphere suddenly awkward again.
At this time, in the living room on the second floor of the Orthanc Tower, when she heard old man Gandalf vaguely expressed his desire to take back the inheritance that originally belonged to the Holy White Council, little Anne jumped up from her seat on the spot. , and refused loudly.
After sitting back angrily, Annie began to guard against the wizard, a human and an elf, in front of her like a thief.
Sure enough, this bad old man, she was on top of the tower before, and when she heard them talking bad about her behind her back, she knew that they definitely didn't have any good intentions in coming here!
Look now, they really want to cause trouble! This old man Gandalf actually wants to take away this mage tower from Anne herself? Give him a hundred courages to take it away and give it a try!
Once something irritates her, Anne feels that she will fall out faster than turning over the book!
"Annie, listen to me first."
"This Isengard was built by the Numenorans. It was originally a military fortress belonging to the Kingdom of Gondor. But later, the Prime Minister of Gondor allowed Saruman, the then Speaker of the White Council, to use it... "
Seeing that the little girl seemed to be angry, Gandalf quickly explained.
"Although Saruman has fallen and been eliminated, the Orthanc Tower here still belongs to the Kingdom of Gondor in terms of ownership rights! And if Gondor has no desire to take it back, then It should also be handed over to our Holy White Council for management?"
In fact, Gandalf did not insist on taking back the tower.
He himself also knew that he would probably never get this tower back! And the reason why he is saying this now is just to put forward an unlikely condition for discussion first, so that when he changes to another one, he will not be rejected too quickly?
This is actually a little negotiation technique.
"Holy White Council? What is that thing? I don't know it!"
What I grabbed was something that an organization I didn’t know appeared to want to pick the fruit?
Anne felt that they must not have woken up, right? She herself would not acknowledge the Holy White Council of Lao Shizi! What does it have to do with you? Why should Anne give them back what she had robbed through her own abilities?
"Well……"
"This White Council was formed at the beginning of the third era by the white robe wizard Saruman who was destroyed by you, myself, the brown robe wizard Radagast, the shipbuilder Cirdan, and Galadriel. Founded by the Queen and Elrond..."
When the White Council was first established, Queen Galadriel originally wanted Gandalf to serve as speaker, but Gandalf rejected it, and then it became Saruman the White.
Gandalf still feels a little bit sad about Saruman's fall and death. He was the most powerful wizard among the five wizards who came to Middle-earth back then, but now, he is gone without saying anything?
"I don't know! Anyway, I will never recognize what you call the Holy White Council! You are an illegal organization!"
"I snatched this tower from Saruman. If you want to take it back, it's not impossible! Unless you can exchange it for a better tower?"
If the other party can exchange it for a taller, bigger and more beautiful mage tower, maybe Anne will reluctantly give it back to them?
"Illegal organization..."
Why did the Holy White Council, composed of a tall Maia and the most influential elves in Middle-earth, become an illegal organization when this little girl said it?
"The White Council has a very long history, and it is respected and recognized by the people of Middle-earth! Including us Silvan elves, dwarves, and humans!"
After Aragorn and Aragorn looked at each other for a while, before Gandalf could continue speaking, Elf Prince Legolas took the lead in refuting.
"What does that have to do with me? If I say it's illegal, then it's illegal!"
Anne feels that anything that is not recognized by herself is illegal! Since it is illegal, it is necessary to ban it! This perfect way to deal with problems was something she learned from the black-headed director when she was in New York!
Declare an organization illegal, and then attack the other party and steal the other party's money, residence and books? !
"Okay, let's not talk about the tower for now."
If there was a better mage tower, would Gandalf trade it for it?
On the shore of the Gray Harbor, there are three white towers used by the elves to guard the Crystal of True Knowledge, but the elves cannot and cannot exchange them, and neither can Gandalf, and he is not stupid. !
"Some of Saruman's items, one of which is easily identifiable, is the crystal ball of true knowledge..."
Gandalf thought that in order to prevent this little girl from being influenced by Sauron, it would be better to recycle the True Knowledge Crystal, which can directly communicate with the Demon King Sauron?
He didn't want to see another red-robed witch who was seduced and corrupted by Sauron. Saruman the White-robed was a lesson learned from the past!
And now, this little girl's power is much stronger than that Saruman! If something like that really happens, it will be really terrible...
"True crystal ball? I've never seen it before!"
Anne doesn't know anything about the crystal ball of true knowledge. That thing now, it's called Anne's crystal ball, must not be what they are looking for!
"Almost all the items have been burned by me. For the ones that haven't been burned, you can go look through the garbage dump below. Maybe you can still find them?"
How can there be any reason to return something you like? If you don't want a tall tower, you actually want that fun crystal ball? Let them dream!
Anne had put away all the things she liked, and the things she didn't like were indeed burned or thrown under the tower. If they wanted, they could really go there. Packed and taken away from the garbage dump!
"..."
have to! At this moment, Gandalf understood that he would definitely not be able to get back the crystal ball of true knowledge! In this case, let's get straight to the topic. The little girl seems to be very impatient already, and it would be bad to delay it any longer.
"Okay, now let's talk about one last thing..."
After sitting upright and taking a slow breath, Gandalf looked seriously at the little girl on the main seat.
"Now, the Kingdom of Gondor is facing the threat of Mordor, and Middle-earth is at its most critical moment!"
"I have received some intelligence before. It is said that the Demon King Sauron is gathering an army, and the black shadow erupted by the Doomsday Mountain is gradually shrouding the west? Once Sauron is ready, he will attack the capital of Gondor Minas Tirith, I believe that this time will not be long... By then, once Gondor falls, the entire Middle-earth world will be in danger!"
"I wonder if your United Kingdom of Alicia will send troops to rescue and fight against Mordor together?"
Gandalf planned to start with this matter first, and he should be able to see the general attitude of the other party.
Now the north of Middle-earth is basically a foregone conclusion, and the center of gravity should begin to shift to the south. Now Gondor has reached a critical moment of life and death. Once it is attacked by the army of Mordor and crosses the Anduin River, it is estimated to be only a short distance away from destruction. It's not too far, right?
The day before yesterday, in the castle of Helm's Deep, Gandalf had discussed this matter with King Théoden of Rohan, but the other party's attitude was very determined!
The stubborn King Théoden even kept saying: When they were in trouble in Rohan and were bullied by the orcs, no one from the Kingdom of Gondor showed up, so Rohan would not take the initiative to send troops to help Gondor. They The Riding Kingdom of Rohan actually owes Gondor nothing!
Moreover, the stubborn Cavalry King finally used the United Kingdom of Alicia as a cover, and said that he would not send troops without the order of Queen Alicia?
However, when Gandalf went to ask the queen whom he could not see through, the other party said slyly that she would not send troops casually without her master's order?
So, this was the main reason that finally led Gandalf to come to Essinger and ask to meet the little red-robed witch girl in person.
"Wait a minute!"
"I would like to ask, respected Lord Gandalf the Gray Robe, what identity do you use to request reinforcements from our country? Is it the White Council you mentioned? Do you represent the elves? Or Gondor?"
At this time, Alicia's new general Lenas, who had been standing aside and never spoke, finally spoke.
She was a little confused. This Gandalf didn't seem to be the leader of any country or any force, right? Then for whom does he come here to ask for reinforcements? Or, whose mission was it from?
She just heard it from the side. This Gandalf, the ranger and the elf, the three of them don't seem to have a good relationship with their queen's master and the red-robed witch, right?
So, the question arises: Since the relationship between the two parties has not improved to that extent, then why do they come here to ask for Dingxi and ask for reinforcements?
Who do they represent? Which country or force sent the envoy?
"..."
"We come on behalf of the Kingdom of Gondor! We come on behalf of the people of Middle-earth!"
Gandalf was stunned, his face turned red, and he was almost rendered speechless by the rebuttal.
However, he thought about it and looked at the elf prince next to him. After feeling that he could not represent the elf clan, he looked at Aragorn next to him. After looking at the future human emperor for a while, he immediately became confident. stand up.
"This is really funny!"
Hearing this, Lenas was stunned for a moment and almost stopped laughing!
Perhaps the United Kingdom of Alicia is more qualified to say this on behalf of the people of Middle-earth, right? Now, the dwarf forces are also discussing the suitability of joining the alliance! It can be said that apart from the elves, they, Alicia, can represent the people of the entire Middle-earth world!
As for Gondor... Lenas thinks that this matter should be left to the people of Gondor to handle, right?
So, she smiled and clapped her hands, indicating that some people who had been waiting for a long time could come out.
"Ha! When exactly..."
"Can you, Mithranda, represent our Kingdom of Gondor? Why do I, as the regent and prime minister of Gondor, not know anything about it?!"
At this time, the mahogany door leading to the upper floor of the Orthanc Tower suddenly opened, and a majestic man wearing a black noble tight-fitting dress, with his hair tied casually behind his back, walked in with sharp eyes.
He looked like he was about sixty or seventy years old?
However, it is obvious that this man is in good spirits. He has a ceremonial sword on his waist. He is tall and looks majestic. He has a demeanor that is not inferior to that of the Cavalry King Theoden!
Behind him, slightly two steps behind, was an equally heroic but younger human man.
"Are you... Denethor? And... Faramir? You, how could you be here?!"
Suddenly seeing these two people, Gandalf was so frightened that he stood up in surprise on the spot. What happened now was completely beyond his expectation!
"Humph! Are you surprised that I can appear here?"
"Gandalf... Although you are very shrewd, you are obviously not smart... Do you really not want me to appear here? Then, you can think of ways to seize my Kingdom of Gondor?!"
After Denethor came in, he first bowed respectfully to the little red-robed witch on the throne, then looked at Gandalf with a sneer, shook his head and said with disdain.
"Your Gondor?!"
"I don't remember that the Kingdom of Gondor belongs to your Anorian family! You are just the prime minister and regent of Gondor, but not the king! You can never be the king!"
After hearing what Denese said, Gandalf's expression turned ugly, and then he took two steps forward and shouted and questioned Denese loudly.
"You're right!"
"Gondor does not belong to me, and my descendants and I will never become kings! However, Gondor will never be his!"
Pointing coldly with his hand at the ranger standing behind Gandalf, staring at the ranger with the same ugly expression for a while, Denethor said equally loudly.
"We in Gondor will never surrender to a Northern Ranger, never!"
Denethor just raised his head and stared coldly at Gandalf and the ranger in front of him, without even the slightest sign of flinching.
"He is just a member of the declining royal family in the north!"
"And our Kingdom of Gondor belongs to our Anarian royal family, not to the descendants of Isildur! The descendants of Isildur have no right to try to get involved in the royal power of the Kingdom of Gondor!"
What Denese said was so reasonable!
That's right, although Denese is only a collateral member of the Anarian royal family, not a direct lineage, and has no qualifications to inherit the throne!
But, after all, he can be regarded as a descendant of Anarian, right? As long as Gondor is still in his hands, it can be said that it is still in the hands of Anarian's descendants!
But what about this Aragorn? Who is he? He wants to plot against Gondor? Dream on!
He is a descendant of Isildur, not an Anarion! If he had the ability, would he inherit his kingdom of Arno?
What if the so-called Northern Kingdom of Arno still exists?
Well, now, he saw that their Arnor had been destroyed for many years, so he wanted to take advantage of their Anarian royal family heritage and the Kingdom of Gondor? This must have been planned by Gandalf, right? Over the years, this old man has made a lot of noise about this matter!
Moreover, Denethor felt that the death of his eldest son Boromir was definitely related to this old man Gandalf! Otherwise, why would everyone in the Fellowship of the Ring be okay? His eldest son who opposed Aragorn went out and died?
Yesterday, he confirmed with the Lady in Red Robe that the two hobbits who were still alive outside actually had some kind of blessed magic bonus? So, does his dead son not have it? Is there even an opposite curse? !
Although there was no concrete evidence for this matter, he swore that this matter would never end!
Anyway, as long as he, Denethor, is still alive, and as long as their Anarian royal family has no heirs, then he, Aragorn, will never come to Gondor to claim the throne! If he had the ability, he would live for a few hundred more years until Anarian's descendants were all dead?
Now Denethor is only sure of one thing: the descendants of Isildur have no right to claim to inherit the King of Gondor!
"Denethor! You have no right to refuse the arrival of a legitimate king! Don't forget that Aragorn is also the direct descendant of Elendil!"
Hearing this, Gandalf was really angry and scared!
This Denese, how could he appear here at this time and look so energetic? Wasn't he already half-dead and neurotic after being tortured by Sauron? Why is it resurrected now?
"Humph! In fact, I have this right! Because I am the legal regent of Gondor!"
"And, I am also a descendant of Elendil!"
"As for Isildur, since he went north to the Kingdom of Arnor and officially transferred the inheritance rights of Gondor to his brother Melandil, the legitimate son of Anarian, he and his descendants will never be able to interfere with Gondor again. It’s Duo’s business! I’m very sure about this!”
"Aragorn, son of Arathorn? Chieftain of the Dundain?"
Denese sneered and looked at a certain ranger whose expression didn't look very good.
After being the Regent of Gondor for so many years, what kind of person has he not seen himself? In terms of eloquence and sophistry, how could he be afraid of Gandalf, who only knows how to engage in conspiracy? So what if the other party can cause trouble? He has the military and political power in his hands, but he refuses to hand over the royal power. How can this old man still eat him?
Besides, now, Denese is also a person with an extraordinary background! He is not afraid of this old wizard at all!
"Your Excellency Witch Anne! Excuse me, why does this person appear here?!"
After feeling that things seemed to have completely gone beyond his plan, Gandalf could only angrily ask the little girl who might be the instigator.
Now, things have become big and difficult to handle!
"Oh...you mean him?"
"That was the day before yesterday. After I got the crystal ball of true knowledge, when I tried to use it, I saw him using it..."
"Then, I found that he was so pitiful. He was so nervous that he was tortured by Sauron's mental coercion. When I felt soft, I opened a portal and asked him to come over and help him heal his mental trauma!"
Pointing her finger to her lips, Annie thought for a moment. She didn't know why she was so kind at that time. Maybe it was because she was in a good mood? That should be almost it, right?
But no matter what, after saving this old man, their Alicia United Kingdom’s profits are quite good! The opposing kingdom of Gondor had agreed to join their Alicia not long ago today!
Anne thought it was a good deal to save a person casually and easily get a kingdom to join. Anne thought it was a good deal. Anyway, it was just a convenience at the time, and it wasn't really that troublesome!
"The crystal ball of true knowledge? Didn't you just say it was burned down?!"
He was stunned for a moment, and then, he suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but ask loudly. He had heard clearly before that the other party clearly said that the crystal ball of true knowledge had been burned!
"Eh?! Did I just say something? You must have heard wrong, so you don't have a crystal ball!"
Hearing this little girl say such serious words, Gandalf was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
With his lips trembling, he looked at Denese for a while, then turned to look at the little girl sitting in the main seat, not knowing what to do.
He suddenly felt that he was involved in some big conspiracy? Then, they were tricked by this little witch, Denese and the queens named Orfina together? !
"There is no crystal ball of true knowledge!"
(…)
Yes, that's it. After realizing that she made a mistake, Anne immediately started denial mode.
"..."
