Everyone did not stop at the Amon Hen Mountains, but continued southward. However, they did not go down the river. In order to avoid the pursuit of a large number of orcs, they took a slightly roundabout direction and headed southwest to enter the Kingdom of Hanluo.
The speed was not fast either. Due to the exposure of the location of the Lord of the Rings, there were more and more Orcs in front of them. Occasionally they had to walk west for a while to avoid the Orcs' interception. With Jiang Hua's help, the group did not separate.
But one day later, everyone had to hide away because the Witch-King of Angmar, the Ringwraith, was flying in the sky on a demonic beast to conduct reconnaissance, and there was also Gollum, who was once a hobbit and had held the Supreme Lord of the Rings for a long time. After a long life, he was seduced by the Lord of the Rings and transformed into his current strange appearance with a big head and a small body. He can sense the location of the Supreme Lord of the Rings within a certain range, which is why he was released.
When they were about to cross the Shumu River, the group was blocked by the Ringwraiths and Orcs in a forest. They had no choice but to break out to the west. Because everyone could not do anything about the nine Ringwraiths now, they had to hide and go. Jiang Hua released After using several transformation magics and creating ten broken golems, everyone was able to escape.
Just when a few people were about to leave the woods, a white light suddenly appeared in front of them. Everyone stopped immediately because a white figure appeared in the white light. The first reaction of Aragorn and Legolas was that they encountered a white robe. The wizard Saruman immediately took out his weapons and stood on guard, and the others followed suit and took up their weapons.
But after a burst of dazzling white light, the face of this white figure was finally revealed. It was Gandalf, who everyone thought was dead before. Everyone was very excited to see him again. Frodo immediately stepped forward to hug his thigh, crying. Said: "Gandalf, it will be good to come back, it will be good to come back..."
The other three hobbits also stepped forward to hug their thighs. Aragorn was shocked and said inexplicably: "Didn't you fall into the abyss? There has been no news for so long. We thought you were dead."
Gimli and Legolas knew the origin of the wizard and what Gandalf's white robe now represented. He represented the level of the wizard's strength, so they all came to greet him.
"Gandalf...Gandalf the Gray, this is one of my names." Gandalf the White's face was a little confused, as if he was remembering something. After a moment, it suddenly dawned on him that after all, Gandalf the Gray's memory in Middle-earth was still there. Maia had only possessed a drop in the ocean for countless years, so when he regained his memory, he did not react immediately until he heard several hobbits hugging his thighs mention the name Gandalf: "I fell into the abyss, underground. I fought to the death with Morgoth's Balrog minions on the highest mountain in the world. In the end, I defeated him and threw his body down the mountain. At that time, I was also exhausted. I didn't know how long I had been unconscious for a long time, and there was no time. The concept seemed as long as countless years, but it was not the end. I regained my life and woke up. I was sent back to complete my mission."
Several people listened to Gandalf's story and sighed. When they saw Jiang Hua, who was dressed as a mage, Gandalf patted the four hobbits hugging his thighs, motioned for them to let go, and said to Jiang Hua solemnly. Yili: "Hello Jianghua, I would like to send you greetings from Vera Weili, and I also bring greetings from Mrs. Li Qingyun."
Jiang Hua was surprised and bowed and said with a smile: "Thank you very much to the Valla for taking care of my wife. I didn't expect that you were a blessing in disguise and gained a lot after experiencing death. How is Qingyun doing in Valinor?" "
"The lady lives in Valima, a city in Valinor, and exchanges art and magic with Maia and the elves. She occasionally goes to Valaviri's residence and lives very comfortably." Gandalf has digested the existing memory, He also told him some known news and became much more enthusiastic about Jiang Hua.
"That's good, let's continue to complete this mission." Jiang Hua smiled and nodded, also saying that he would participate in the next battle.
"Thank you so much"
The conversation between Gandalf and Jiang Hua surprised several people. They didn't expect that this unassuming traveler had a lot of background.
Looking at several people in the Lord of the Rings Expedition, he said with emotion: "I am now the white-robed wizard Gandalf. I am back to help you. Our journey will also open a new page. The Kingdom of Hanluo is facing a war, and we have to score." action"
"What happened?" Boromir is the eldest son of the Regent of Gondor, and he is still very sensitive to war.
"Saruman put a curse on King Rohan. Now Rohan is in chaos. I have to take Aragorn to Edoras." Gandalf glanced at Aragorn, and then told Jiang Hua: "Next I have to ask you to take care of my itinerary.”
Jiang Hua nodded: "No problem, there are still ring spirits and orcs chasing behind us, we have to leave quickly."
Jiang Hua cast magic and built an ice bridge on the river. Gandalf led Aragorn towards the other side of the river. Jiang Hua walked last. When Gandalf and Aragorn set foot on the land across the river, the Nazgul also rode on the ice. Bridge, the Witch King of Angmar in the sky also circled down on a flying mount. Jiang Hua conjured a bow and arrows. The magic arrows made the Witch King of Angmar in the sky very afraid and did not dare to descend to attack.
Jiang Hua took Legolas, Gimli, Boromir and the four hobbits to stand on the ice boat in the center of the ice bridge. Jiang Hua removed the magic, and the ice bridge instantly turned into water, leaving only the ice boat with everyone standing on the ice. The orcs and ringwraiths in front of him instantly fell into the river and were washed away. Jiang Hua waved goodbye to Gandalf and went down the river.
Since the river is not wide, the range of the orc bows and arrows on both sides is sufficient, but the speed of the magic ship is not slow. It needs to be defended at the beginning. It only took half a day to get rid of these pursuers and enter the Anduin River. , after going downstream for a while, we successfully landed on the east side of He, and entered the edge of the Death Swamp. The next step was to get rid of the Angmar Witch King who was monitoring from the air, otherwise everyone would be exhausted.
After landing, everyone found a small bush to hide. Jiang Hua used transformation magic to conjure several people to continue south along the east bank. Jiang Hua opened a cave under the bush and eight people lived here temporarily, because It is already evening, and the night is the world of the Ringwraiths. The darkness increases their power a lot. The swamp is difficult to walk at night. There are harassment and attacks from the Ringwraiths. If you are not careful, you will fall into the mud. It is better to rest for the night. , and we’ll move forward during the day tomorrow
"Hey, if it hadn't been for Jiang Hua, we would have been chased all over the world by Orcs and Ringwraiths, and maybe we would have lost someone." Boromir sighed as he looked at the spacious crypt. When he was at the port of Gondor, he had to Without Jiang Hua's help, everyone might not have been able to escape.
Jiang Hua took out the low-alcohol grain wine, and Jin Li took a bold sip. The wine dripped on his thick beard, and he said haha: "Not only did it save our lives, but it also had strong wine and barbecue. This journey was really enjoyable. Ah, there is also a comfortable room to rest in, which is more comfortable than in my shining cave."
There was a lot of food on the table in the center of the room, and everyone was feasting on it after working hard all day. Sam puffed out his cheeks and stuffed his mouth with barbecue. Legolas looked disgusted and even hid a little aside, scared. This opening and closing movement spattered himself with stains: "You eat slowly, we are not rushing tonight, we have plenty of time, and with Jiang Hua here, we won't be hungry."
Sam puffed out his cheeks and chewed the barbecue, and said vaguely: "I have been eating it for a year, and I have never had enough. If you don't eat barbecue, you don't know how delicious Jianghua's barbecue is. It's so fragrant."
Gandalf's return put everyone in a very good mood. They talked and laughed along the way without feeling tired, so no one felt tired now. In the end, everyone drank some wine and talked about the past stories. Jianghua sat Playing with BBH on the rocking chair, observing the movements of the Ringwraiths and Orcs through the bright light and shadows
I slept comfortably until I woke up naturally, and had a hearty breakfast. Now there are no Ringwraiths staying here, but there are still sporadic Orcs, but it does not affect everyone's continued progress.
"I slept so comfortably last night." After smelling the aroma of breakfast, Pi Rui lay on the bed, opened his eyes, stretched, and said drowsily: "It smells so good."
At this moment, Legolas and Boromir had already gotten up and were wiping their swords and sorting out their equipment: "It's almost dawn. Get up and eat quickly. We still have to hurry. We have to destroy the Lord of the Rings as soon as possible. Frodo had nightmares all night long. Didn’t sleep well”
Frodo was really not in good spirits at the moment, and the dark circles under his eyes were very heavy. It looked like he had not slept well. Jiang Hua saw everyone getting up and said, "Okay, hurry up and eat. The ring spirits around have been removed. We have to continue setting off." "
"Why is there no wine?" Gimli, who woke up, searched around the table but couldn't find what he wanted.
"We're about to set off. Why don't you drink? There's a Swamp of Death ahead of you. Be careful if you step in the mud and get stuck." Legolas patted Gimli's rummaging hand.
"But I don't have any wine to drink. I feel so exhausted." Gimli muttered, but no one paid him any attention. They kept eating breakfast. Feeling bored, Gimli had to reach for the barbecue juice. No wine is better than nothing. Strong on the belly
During breakfast, everyone did not speak. They finished the meal quickly, packed up the remaining meat and juice and carried it on their backs. Grinding their teeth when they were greedy on the way. This happened all the way. It has become a habit. Jiang Hua waved his hand. Everyone gathered together, and a column rose from the ground, lifting everyone up onto the cracked ground. The cave underneath shrank and disappeared, returning to its original appearance. There was no trace of the cave at all.
At this moment, it was just dawn and the light was a little dark. Jiang Hua took the lead and walked forward towards the surveyed route. The two ravens were two drones. Under Jiang Hua's command, they had already surveyed the surrounding area and looked for signs from the edge of the eroded swamp. Found a hidden path to Mount Doom
It took two days for the group of people to follow the secret path found by Jiang Hua, pass through the outer mountains of Mordor and enter the range of Volcano Doom. Just as everyone set foot on the range of Volcano Doom, Sauron's magic eyes looked through the rocks of the volcano. After coming over, Sauron's abilities within the confines of Mordor improved a lot. He began to call back the Witch King of Angmar and sent half of his people to intercept them.
