Rivendell in the early morning.
Shrouded in silence and peace.
Even in the lonely late autumn.
The flowers, plants and trees here are still lush and green.
In an inconspicuous open-air garden.
At this time, countless power representatives and powerful people gathered in the entire Middle-earth world.
They may have come to Rivendell for various reasons.
But sitting here at this time is just fate.
The opening remarks of Lord Elrond, who was standing at the front, may have surprised and confused some people present who did not know the inside story at first.
But when he spoke out and said Frodo took out the One Ring.
Everyone immediately cheered up.
"boom..."
With a slight sound.
Frodo put down the golden ring and sat back down.
At this moment, everyone's eyes widened.
Everyone present, no matter what race they are, even the two dwarves Groin and Gimli, who have been focusing on rebuilding the Kingdom of Erebor on the Lonely Mountain for these years, have heard of the name of the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
But there are very few people who have seen the Supreme Ring with their own eyes.
In addition to Bilbo who first discovered the Ring, the only ones present were Morgan, Gandalf, the new ring bearer Frodo, and Lord Eldron who had seen the One Ring many years ago.
Others had never seen it before.
Even Sam and Aragorn, who followed all the way from Hobbiton to Rivendell not long ago, only knew that the Ring was in Frodo's hands and had never actually seen it.
At this moment, everyone present finally saw the legendary Supreme Lord of the Rings with their own eyes.
It is said that the Supreme Lord of the Rings has the power to confuse people's hearts and seduce people into corruption.
Looking at the Lord of the Rings on the stone table, everyone present fell silent.
For Morgan, looking at the Supreme Lord of the Rings on the stone table not far away, his heart felt calm at this moment.
Speaking of which, he has a close relationship with the Lord of the Rings in front of him.
From the very beginning when he came to this world, got the system on his body, and became familiar with the plot trends of this world, he once thought that he would be the protagonist of this world, and he wanted to get the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
However, when he first saw the Lord of the Rings in the underground Goblin Kingdom in the Misty Mountains, he was instantly bewitched by the Ring and almost shot Bilbo.
He knew that the Ring was not something he could possess.
The second time was in Bilbo's Bag End in Hobbiton nearly two months ago.
Bilbo put down the Ring and left after being persuaded by himself and Gandalf.
He was persuaded by Gandalf to pick up the Ring.
I originally thought that I could resist the invasion of the Lord of the Rings with my strength and will at that time.
But what he didn't expect was that he was worse than when he first saw the Lord of the Rings in the underground kingdom.
At least that time, I was able to wake up from the temptation of the Lord of the Rings.
But the second time, he needed Gandalf's help to wake up from the tempting illusion constructed for him by the Lord of the Rings.
Since then, Morgan has deeply understood what Gandalf said, the stronger the strength, the stronger the temptation to be attracted by the Lord of the Rings.
From that time on, Morgan no longer had any illusions about the Lord of the Rings, and vowed never to touch the Ring again.
So, looking at the Supreme Lord of the Rings placed in front of me.
Morgan felt calm and seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly turned his head and glanced at Frodo, who was sitting next to Gandalf.
I noticed that Frodo's face seemed relaxed and yet he seemed to be frowning.
As for Bilbo, who was sitting next to Morgan.
He looked at the familiar Lord of the Rings on the stone table with a somewhat struggling expression.
He felt the Ring's call to him, but he also knew that this emotion was wrong.
Therefore, he could only control himself and try not to look at the Lord of the Rings on the table.
For Gandalf, the Supreme Lord of the Rings in front of him is a disaster, a complete disaster.
For Frodo beside him, putting down the Lord of the Rings not only made him feel unprecedentedly relaxed, but also felt a trace of loss from the bottom of his heart. It was as if something important had been lost from his life. , which made him feel very uncomfortable.
For Aragorn, the One Ring in front of him represents shame.
He is a direct descendant of Isildur, and his body is filled with the blood of Isildur.
The mistakes made by the ancestor Isildur represent the mistakes of the royal family of Gondor.
The mistakes of ancestors must be washed away and repaid by future generations.
Just like Bard sixty years ago, he avenged the evil dragon for Girion, the king of the River Valley State.
The same goes for Aragorn, who vowed to destroy the Ring and defeat the demon Lord Sauron.
Only in this way can he completely wash away the shame of the Gondor royal family.
For the dwarf Groin, exploring the news about the Supreme Lord of the Rings is the most important reason why Thorin Oakenshield sent him to Rivendell.
Now that the Ring has appeared, he must now return to Erebor as quickly as possible.
But before leaving, he planned to talk to Lord Eldron about some of the situations Erebor was facing now.
As for the young and hot-tempered Gimli, he very much agreed with Lord Eldron's words.
At the same time, because he grew up in the Blue Mountains, he hates the elves in Mirk Forest, especially now that there is an elf prince from Mirk Forest on the scene.
For Legolas and "Lord of the Golden Flower" Glorfindel, as well as the envoys from the Gray Harbor who shoulder the mission of Kildan, the Lord of the Gray Harbor.
He was very cautious when facing the Supreme Lord of the Rings in front of him.
As for the host Lord Elrond, the Supreme Lord of the Rings in front of him must be destroyed.
Finally, for Boromir from Gondor.
From the moment the little hobbit named Frodo laid down the One Ring.
His eyes were fixed on the gold ring.
Speaking of which, the reason why he came to Rivendell was entirely because of a riddle poem he heard in his dream, so he came to Rivendell to find the answer.
However, when he saw the Supreme Lord of the Rings being placed on the stone table.
He realized that he had found the answer: to use the extremely powerful Lord of the Rings in front of him to defend Gondor.
So he stood up.
Boromir from Gondor was seen standing up first.
The eyes of everyone present immediately focused on him.
Among the many eyes, there were surprises, doubts, and naturally, there were also doubts.
But Boromir ignored everyone's gaze, stared at the Lord of the Rings, and began to talk to himself: "In my dream, I felt that the sky in the east was gradually getting darker, and thunder was rolling..."
Boromir spoke slowly, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but start walking towards the stone table where the Lord of the Rings was placed.
"But in the west a pale light lingered, and in the light I heard a distant but distinct voice cry: Look for the Broken Sword, which is hidden in Imladris; yonder there will be a gathering... ."
"Something precious will appear in the discussion, and the fate will be on that precious thing..."
Boromir kept talking and kept coming forward. He was unaware of the increasingly surprised gazes of the people around him. When he walked to the stone table, he actually stretched out his hand to the Lord of the Rings.
"stop!"
"Boromir!"
Gandalf and Elrond both stood up and shouted loudly.
The rumbling sound seemed to resound throughout Rivendell.
Boromir's expression was suddenly shaken, and he quickly stepped back, his face seemed to be sober.
Morgan watched this scene calmly.
This was the first time that he saw someone directly being seduced by the Lord of the Rings.
It was clear that whatever Boromir's motives were, he had just been seduced by the One Ring.
"This Ring is pure evil."
"We've gathered today to discuss how to deal with it."
"Don't have any other ideas."
Gandalf watched Boromir finish speaking in a deep voice and sat back on the bench again.
For a moment, there was some silence.
Looking at Boromir's behavior just now, no one is a fool, and everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts.
But Boromir obviously doesn't think so.
Although he admitted that it was inappropriate to risk losing the Ring just now.
But he was convinced that the Lord of the Rings in front of him was what he was looking for in his dream that asked him to go to Rivendell.
And in order to save the declining Gondor, he needs to get this Lord of the Rings.
So, having just sat back on the bench, he stood up again.
"Why is he dealing with it?"
Boromir looked at everyone in confusion and asked: "He is a gift, a gift given to us by Modo."
"Why don't we use the Ring?"
"My father is the Prime Minister of Gondor. He has been working hard to lead the people to fight against Mordor."
"We have always stood at the forefront and have been keeping your blood to protect your safety!"
Boromir looked at everyone present, pointed at everyone, and continued to speak with an angry expression: "Give the enemy's weapons to Gondor, and let us use him to fight against evil and Modo."
"You can't control him, no one can!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aragorn said decisively: "There is only one owner of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and that is Sauron, and it can only be Sauron forever."
"It won't have a second owner, never will."
Aragorn's voice immediately made Boromir turn his head. He looked at Aragorn with a sneer on his face: "Who do you think you are? What does a mere ranger know?"
"He is no ordinary ranger..."
At this time, Legolas stood up decisively and said to his friend: "He is Aragorn, son of Arathorn."
"According to the name, you should be loyal to him."
After the words fell, Boromir, who looked at Legolas with an unpleasant expression, was immediately stunned. He slowly turned his head to look at the down-and-out ranger and said with some disbelief: "Aragorn..."
"Are you a descendant of Isildur...?"
Boromir looked at the black-haired man in front of him with an ugly expression.
This was a meeting held by Lord Elrond. Being able to participate in the meeting showed that his identity was not simple. Moreover, Lord Elrond did not refute the elf's words, and no one else did.
The identity of the ranger in front of him is most likely true, and he is the descendant of Isildur.
"He is a direct descendant of Isildur and the heir to the throne of Gondor..."
Legolas' voice continued.
"Sit down Legolas."
Rather than continue to embarrass the son of the Prime Minister of Gondor, Aragorn spoke up.
But Boromir didn't appreciate it. Gondor had lost its king for so many years, and a wandering ranger who wanted to become the king of Gondor didn't even think about it, even if he was a descendant of Isildur.
"There is no king in Gondor..."
Boromir looked at Legolas and said coldly, then looked at Aragorn and said: "Gondor doesn't need a king."
After speaking, Boromir sat back down.
At this time, Gandalf came to the rescue: "Aragorn is right, we cannot use the Supreme Lord of the Rings."
"You have only one choice, and that is to completely destroy the Supreme Ring."
Eldron spoke in a deep voice, and everyone had different expressions.
The others were fine. Hearing Lord Eldron's words, Boromir had unconcealable disappointment on his face.
"What are you waiting for!"
The hot-tempered young dwarf Gimli immediately stood up with an ax in hand, walked to the stone table so fast that his father Groin had no time to stop him, raised his battle ax and struck the Supreme Lord of the Rings with a fierce blow.
"boom!"
There was a violent explosion.
The battle ax immediately exploded into pieces and scattered in all directions.
Jinli was also knocked to the ground by a huge rebound.
At this moment, everyone on the scene turned their attention.
Morgan immediately turned to look at Frodo.
Gandalf also acted in the same way as Morgan.
The two of them looked at Frodo's pale face and looked at him in pain, and couldn't help but look up at each other.
What Gandalf saw in Morgan's eyes was solemnity.
What Morgan saw in Gandalf's eyes was worry.
"Gimli, the Supreme Lord of the Rings cannot be destroyed by other methods, not all weapons present."
At this time, Lord Eldron's voice sounded again.
"The Ring was forged from the lava of Mount Doom, and only there can it be destroyed."
"So, we have to go deep into Modo and throw the Lord of the Rings into Mount Doom."
"this matter..."
When Eldron said this, he quickly glanced at everyone present and said solemnly: "Someone among you must do it."
After the words fell, everyone fell silent again.
Everyone present, except for the hobbits who may not be clear enough, everyone else clearly understands what Modo represents.
Sauron, this nightmare and threat that has been hanging over the heads of the free races in Middle-earth for many years.
Modo is Sauron's lair.
Go to Modo and narrowly escape death.
"Heading to Modo?"
At this time, Boromir's voice sounded again: Are you kidding me? "
Everyone looked over immediately.
Gondor is the closest to Mordor, and the one who knows the most about Mordor must be Boromir.
"Modo is a dead wasteland, filled with flames, ashes and dust everywhere, and the air is filled with deadly poisonous gas..."
"Not only that, countless evil orcs guard the black gate into Modo..."
"The huge evil eye of Sauron is watching every piece of land in Modo."
"No one can enter Modo alive..."
"We have to go deep into the Doomsday Volcano in Modo. This is simply an impossible task."
"This is ridiculous..."
Boromir shook his head unbearably and spoke.
Although these words can make everyone understand Modo better.
But Boromir had been opposed to this action, which also aroused the resentment of others.
Legolas was the first to express dissatisfaction: "So what, didn't you hear what Lord Eldron said? The Lord of the Rings must be destroyed!"
The fledgling Gimli had been dissatisfied with the elves of Mirkwood since he was a child. When he saw Legolas speaking, he immediately retorted: "Then you mean that it should be done by you?"
Boromir was targeted several times by the elves in front of him and immediately became upset and shouted: "What if the operation fails and the Supreme Lord of the Rings is taken back by Sauron?"
Seeing that there were humans from the same camp targeting the elf boy in Mirkwood, Gimli immediately became more motivated: "That's right, I will never allow the Ring to fall into the hands of the elves. The elves are not trustworthy."
This sentence can be regarded as a map cannon, especially in Rivendell.
Several elven messengers who came from Gray Harbor couldn't stand it any longer, and immediately stood up and shouted back.
When Ge Luoyin on the opposite side saw this situation, he immediately stood up and started taunting mode without caring too much.
At this time, even Gandalf stood up and joined in the mutual spray contest.
Morgan sat on the bench, not only had no intention of helping, he even wanted to laugh.
The chaotic scene in front of him was the same as the scene in the plot he remembered.
Sometimes, it’s interesting to be familiar with the plot and observe the behaviors and performances of the people around you from a God’s perspective.
But he had no time to laugh at this time, he was paying attention to Frodo not far away.
Gandalf was not the only one to realize that Frodo had been influenced by the Ring along the way.
Morgan noticed it too.
And he also knew that Gandalf probably didn't want Frodo to continue to participate in important tasks.
Because under the influence of the awakening Ring, Frodo will inevitably have problems.
However, he could not find another candidate.
Just like when Gandalf asked Morgan to try to pick up the Ring.
But Morgan, who has become more familiar with the world, knows.
All this is fate.
At this moment, Frodo, who looked struggling in Morgan's eyes, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "I am willing to go."
At this moment, even though he knew it was fate, Morgan couldn't help but admire Frodo's courage.
This is why there is always hope in this world.
What is greater than fate is courage.
