Rivendell.
In the small garden.
Facing the noisy meeting crowd.
Morgan watched the show calmly, Aragorn looked a little confused, and Eldron looked at the farce in front of him expressionlessly.
"Never allow elves to carry the Ring. Elves cannot be trusted..."
"Dwarves are greedy and selfish..."
"If the Lord of the Rings cannot be destroyed, the whole of Middle-earth will suffer catastrophe..."
"What if the Ring is taken away by Sauron?"
"Now that the Lord of the Rings is in our hands, isn't it just right that we can use it to deal with Sauron?"
"You cannot control the Ring..."
"The Ring must be destroyed..."
"Okay, even if we have to go to Modo to destroy the Lord of the Rings, who can take on this task?"
"As long as it's not an elf, I'll agree with whoever takes on this task!"
"..."
Seeing the representatives of the free race forces in Middle-earth arguing in front of them, their faces turned red.
Frodo struggled with an ugly expression as he looked at the Supreme Ring on the stone table not far away, and from time to time looked at the noisy crowd.
Finally, he stood up.
"I'd like to go."
Frodo spoke.
But his voice was a little quieter.
Except for Morgan who was paying attention to him, he could hear it.
The other people who had already made a real noise didn't hear it at all.
The noise continued.
But at any rate, everyone knew that this was in Rivendell, in front of Lord Eldron.
Even though each of them looked extremely angry, they were still able to control themselves and not take action.
"I want to go!"
Frodo spoke again, this time much louder.
The crowd finally heard Frodo speaking, and the voice immediately stopped.
Gandalf, who had his back turned to Frodo, closed his eyes helplessly when he heard Frodo's voice.
"I would like to go..."
Looking at the quiet crowd, Frodo spoke again: "I am willing to bring the Supreme Ring to Mordor."
The words fell.
The entire garden immediately became silent.
Everyone's eyes immediately focused on the short hobbit in front of them, but his expression was particularly determined.
Yes, although the quarrel and controversy just now sounded a bit complicated, if you sum it up carefully, the meaning is the same: everyone is quite satisfied with Lord Eldron's proposal, but it is too dangerous to go to Modo. Who can take on this important task? ?
Legolas agreed with the decision to destroy the Lord of the Rings, but he didn't know who to recommend. Of course, he only knew whether he himself had the intention of recommending himself.
The dwarf Gimli could tell that he also agreed to destroy the Lord of the Rings.
But because he grew up in the Blue Mountains, when the Lonely Mountain had not yet been recovered, he was deeply impressed by the betrayal of the Mirkwood elves, so he spoke purely to vent his anger on the elves.
So when he opened his mouth and taunted like a cannon, he immediately angered the other elves from Gray Harbor, which led to a big quarrel.
As for Boromir from Gondor, he wanted to use the Ring and would definitely not agree to destroy it.
But his arms couldn't hold his thighs, so he could only exaggerate the danger of going to Modo.
Only in this way can everyone give up the idea of going to Modo.
This way he can have a chance to fish in troubled waters.
As for Gandalf, who was also involved in the debate, he purely wanted to convince Boromir, who had the biggest opinion.
Frodo spoke.
Everyone was immediately speechless.
The Supreme Lord of the Rings was brought by the hobbit in front of me.
In terms of his character, strength and identity, as well as his willpower to fight against the Lord of the Rings, the hobbit in front of him is obviously the best and most suitable candidate.
That was the moment Frodo agreed.
Aragorn, who was a little confused at first and thought he was about to lose hope, immediately brightened up.
Gandalf, who cared most about Frodo, looked half relieved, half helpless, and half painful.
Of course he knew that Frodo, who had brought the Lord of the Rings intact from the Shire to Rivendell, was the best candidate.
However, because of the power of the Demon Lord Sauron, the Ring is constantly awakening, and he has noticed that Frodo's body has been affected by the Ring.
If this continued, Frodo might have trouble or even collapse that day.
He really didn't want to see Frodo, who was once so lively, continue to shoulder such a painful and dangerous responsibility.
But there is no other more suitable candidate besides Frodo.
Therefore, at the moment when he heard that Frodo had the courage to stand up, Gandalf felt happy and complicated.
As for Eldron, he was naturally happy.
When chatting with Gandalf about this a few days ago.
Elderron planned to let Frodo continue to undertake this task.
But Gandalf disagreed because he did not want Frodo to bear such a heavy responsibility and was afraid that he would not be able to bear it.
Going from Shire to Rivendell is far less dangerous than going from Rivendell to Mordor.
Eldron failed to convince Gandalf.
Gandalf failed to find a better candidate and could not convince Eldron.
So, they decided to hold today's meeting to select personnel.
As a result, Frodo jumped out now.
It is naturally the best thing for Eldron.
At this time, everyone looked at Frodo with mixed looks, including relief, appreciation, smiles, surprise, and unwillingness.
"but..."
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Frodo, who had just looked firm because he couldn't stand everyone's behavior, immediately returned to his usual appearance, and said softly with some embarrassment: "I don't know the road..."
After the words fell, everyone laughed, but they were all kind smiles.
"Don't worry about this..."
Gandalf was the first to step forward and said with a smile: "Frodo Baggins, as long as you are willing to take on such an important task, I am willing to assist you."
Gandalf said, patting Frodo on the shoulder and standing behind him to show his support.
"I'm also willing to help you..."
At this time, Aragorn strode forward and looked at Frodo and said: "Even if it requires my life, I am willing."
"Frodo, don't worry, my sword will protect you."
Aragorn half-crouched down and looked at the little hobbit in front of him and said seriously.
Looking at Aragorn who jumped out unexpectedly, Gandalf and Eldron exchanged a look, and the two of them felt much happier.
With Gandalf and Aragorn taking the lead, several representatives representing other forces were naturally not far behind.
"And my bow and arrow will also protect you."
Legolas said with a smile and walked out, and then stood behind Frodo like Aragorn.
"besides...""
The dwarf Gimli also stood up: "My ax is not as good as the elf boy's bow and arrow."
Groin, who was standing behind Jinli, watched his son walk out without saying hello and did not stop him.
Can Gimli take the initiative to go out and participate in important things like Middle-earth? No matter how dangerous it is, Groin will only support it unconditionally.
Dwarves don't lag behind others, especially elves.
Watching the weak hobbits jump out to take up the task, watching the elves representing Mirkwood, Gimli representing the dwarves, and Aragorn all stand up.
As the eldest son and heir of Denethor, the ruling prime minister of Gondor, Boromir now represents Gondor, the most powerful human kingdom in Middle-earth.
He will certainly not fall behind, nor can he fall behind.
"You bear everyone's expectations and the fate of the entire world, boy..."
At this time, Boromir slowly walked out. He looked at everyone and continued: "If this is everyone's decision... Gondor will naturally support it."
Boromir said and walked to the side of the dwarf Gimli.
Although there was disappointment on his face, he could only support everyone's decision.
"Add me too..."
At this moment, Morgan's voice suddenly sounded from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned around and saw Morgan standing up from the bench and walking in front of everyone.
"Frodo, your courage truly astonishes me..."
Morgan walked up to Frodo, looked at the little hobbit in front of him, smiled and said, "This time, I will still stand by your side."
Looking at Morgan, he also stood up.
The smiles on Gandalf and Eldron's faces became more obvious.
Other members who knew Morgan's identity also had smiles on their faces. They all knew of Morgan's great strength.
Of course, there are also those who don’t understand, such as: Boromir.
"And I!"
At this time, a voice suddenly sounded.
Then, everyone saw a figure emerging from the dense vegetation at the edge of the garden.
Who is Sam if not the short, stocky hobbit?
In the meantime, Sam quickly rushed into the garden, squeezed in beside Frodo and looked at Lord Eldron in front of him, saying urgently: "I will go wherever Master Frodo goes."
"Yes, it is indeed difficult to break up you two..."
"You can even sneak in to a meeting like this that you are qualified to attend."
Eldron looked at the hobbit who had sneaked out and smiled. He was in a good mood after the expedition team was formed.
"Hey, there's us too!"
At this moment, two short figures touched the door of the small conference garden.
I eavesdropped at the door for a while and couldn't hear what everyone was saying clearly, but the battle in front of me was obviously very interesting, so I immediately ran out shouting.
"We must stay with Frodosam, and you must not separate us."
The two hobbits, Merry and Pippin, quickly ran to Frodo's side.
Eldron glanced at Gandalf speechlessly.
Gandalf immediately returned a look of affirmation.
"Okay, so be it."
Eldron looked at the people in front of him and exhaled a long breath, nodded and said: "Ten members..."
"Then you are the Fellowship of the Ring."
Lord Eldron smiled and spoke.
When Pippin heard that he was accepted to join, he immediately said happily: "That's great."
"Then where do we go next?"
Everyone: "..."
...
Definite treatment of the Lord of the Rings.
The Fellowship of the Fellowship of the Ring has also been formed.
This later became known as the "Council of Elrond" was held successfully.
It made the entire Rivendell feel a little more relaxed and full of laughter.
Lord Eldron gave the members of the expedition three days to rest and prepare.
The expedition team will set off on time in the early morning of the fourth day.
for the next three days.
Morgan first wrote a letter and asked the wood elf warriors who followed Legolas to bring it back to Tariel and the two children in Mirkwood.
The rest of the journey is dangerous.
Not just the Lord of the Rings expedition that he participated in.
According to what Morgan knows, Modo is indeed ready to move and sharpen his sword. In the future, not only the human Kingdom of Rohan but also the Kingdom of Gondor will be violently attacked by Modo.
The lonely mountain Erebor in the north, the town of Vale, and the Woodland Kingdom with Mirkwood are also in danger.
Since giving birth to Yvonne and Ulysses with Tariel.
Morgan felt like he belonged in this world.
If there were no systematic reasons, in order to protect his wife and children, he would definitely not come out at this time, let alone join the Fellowship of the Ring.
However, Morgan is far from strong enough.
He cannot stop the rolling tide of Middle-earth.
Therefore, he could only warn Tariel in the letter and ask her to be careful.
At the same time, Tariel was also asked to tell the Elven King Thranduil about the rebellion of the Lord of the Rings Expedition, Modo, and Isengard.
Let the Elf King be more careful.
Done this.
Morgan spent the next few days relaxing and resting.
At Bilbo's invitation, Morgan accompanied him to fish for two more days.
On the last day, Morgan took the initiative to find Lord Eldron.
A lot of free food, drinks and arrows have been added.
Also that night, Morgan called Bilbo and Gandalf, and the three of them had a good drink.
Just like that, the three days of rest passed in the blink of an eye.
Early morning on the fourth day.
It was just getting dark.
The broad square at the foot of Rivendell Mountain was filled with people.
But not a trace of noise could be heard.
Led by the Elf Lord Eldron, "Princess Muxing" Arwen, "Lord Golden Flower" Glorfindel, and a group of higher-status elves in Rivendell all appeared in the square.
In front of the elves were ten members of the expedition team wearing various mail and leather armors.
At this time, it is extremely difficult and dangerous to go to Mount Doom in Modo.
Even though there are several powerful members, it can still be said to be a narrow escape mission.
Therefore, the whole practice scene seemed a bit heavy and solemn.
Eldron stood in front of the elves in full attire, looking at the members of the expedition team in front of him and said in a deep voice: "The ring bearers are preparing to set off to Mount Doom in Modo."
"Everyone who travels with him is not bound by any oath or promise..."
"You can interrupt your journey at any time..."
"Goodbye everyone, keep your faith and remember your purpose."
"May the blessings of all Elves and Men and the free people of Middle-earth follow you..."
As Eldron said, he saluted the ten expedition warriors, and the elves behind him immediately followed suit and saluted in unison.
Everyone in the expedition team immediately put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads in return.
Lord Eldron honors the expedition with great ceremony.
Everyone obviously didn't understand, and they were a little stunned after returning the gift.
Don't know what to say or anything else.
Gandalf was well informed and immediately spoke loudly: "The expedition is waiting for the Ring Bearer to set off."
Hearing this voice, Frodo came to his senses, turned and walked towards the Long Bridge.
Frodo went first, Gandalf followed, and then the rest of the party.
Eldron led the elves behind the expedition team until they reached the end of the long bridge.
When the members of the expedition team walked out of the long bridge, sweet music immediately sounded from the elves following behind them.
Ten members of the expedition team, plus two horses, immediately left Rivendell and headed towards Modo.
