Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 71 Saruman

"It's a rune."

Elrond first looked at the swords brought from the ogre's cave and said: "The name of this sword is Ocrist. In the ancient language of Gondolin, it is 'the sword that slays the orcs' It means that this is a famous sword. It should be the sword of Lord Fountain. Exelian has used this sword to kill countless orcs and Balrogs."

"Mythrandil, your name is Glamdrin, which means 'hammer'. It was once the sword of Turgon, King of Gondolin and High King of the Noldor. But the city Having been destroyed by them many years ago, I wonder why these two swords ended up in the Troll's cave."

"Perhaps the villain robbed the villain," Turka said.

Elrond shook his head, and returned the sword to the dwarf king and wizard. "Please use these two weapons well, it will protect you from evil."

Bilbo even wanted to take out his short sword and let Elrond see what he had to say, but in the end he chose to shut up resentfully.

Elrond took the map of the Lonely Mountain again and flipped through it.In fact, he does not fully agree with the adventurous behavior of the dwarves and their love of gold, but he hates dragons and their evil violence more.

Moreover, this was a request from the silver king and wizard, and he could not refuse.

"Well, there is another layer of hidden text, but I can't read it now." Elrond was a little surprised.

"Why? I thought you knew all the runes." Gandalf blinked, more surprised than he was.

Elrond smiled and said: "Of course I can interpret the runes, but there is a layer of moon runes inside. The dwarves use silver pens to write, and they must be in the same season and under the same moonlight as them. will be manifested."

He showed it to the moon for dwarves and wizards.

Apparently, the moon tonight is not that particular case.It was empty above.

"Then what is written in the common rune?" Thorin asked with a straight face.

Elrond glanced at him.The wizard nodded.

"Here it is written: The gate is five feet high, and three people walk side by side." He said. "But the key to open this door is hidden. If you want to know what he wrote, you must be able to interpret it under certain circumstances."

In fact, Turka knew what was written in the moon rune, but it was really difficult for him to explain why he knew.

He stayed silently aside.Anyway, he knew that this secret would always be solved, so he was not in a hurry.

"Then we have to wait here?" The hobbit was also invited because he was the key to breaking through the empty door. There were only him, Turka, Gandalf, Thorin and Elrond on the scene. Obviously, this was a secret meeting. Meeting.

"This should have been written sometime in Midsummer's Eve, so don't worry, we'll find out in a few days." Elrond gave everyone not bad news.

It's mid-May now, that is to say, a few days away.This made the distraught Sorin feel a little better.

"Hope it's not too late," he said. "I can hardly wait a moment. The dwarves have lost their home for so long that I almost forgot what the palace under the mountain looked like."

"To tell the truth, it was not a good idea to enter the Lonely Mountain." Elrond said to Turka, and indeed to all people: "I have heard the omen, but that does not mean that Smaug is gone, There is a high risk that your adventure will turn into a tragic disaster."

"My lord." Turka couldn't help saying a word for the dwarves: "If the elves lose their homeland, they will do everything for it."

Elrond was dumbfounded.

He handed the map back to Sorin, and said in agreement: "Master Turka is right, there are always things worth fighting for. Sorin, son of Thrain, I hope you can get what you want."

It was a blessing, and Thorin gladly accepted it.

So this topic came to an end for the time being, and the adventure team had to wait here for about two weeks, waiting for the arrival of Midsummer Festival.

Only then could Elrond see the hidden writing on the map from the same moonlight.

This is very important, but Bilbo and the others are in no hurry.

They had had a long and good week in Rivendell.The Holy White Council was held at this time.

the next day.

When the dwarves and the hobbits didn't know it, the big men gathered in the valley under the cover of night and decided on a series of issues that almost changed Middle Continent.

"Gandalf, I almost don't know why you called everyone here in such a hurry at this time. Is it because you plan to carry out some small tricks secretly? Just like the so-called adventure of you and your dwarves this time."

A very deep and pleasant voice full of magic power sounded.

Those who listen, if they are not careful, can seldom tell what they have heard; and when they can, they wonder.

Most of them only remember the pleasure of hearing the voice speak, and that everything it said seemed like wise, sound words of gold.There will be a longing in their hearts, and they can't wait to join in and show their wisdom.

They find other people's voice harsh and rude, and contradicting that voice irritates those who are already captivated.

Those who are overwhelmed by this voice remain at its mercy even from afar, and they will always hear it whispering in their ears, urging them.

Unless they are mentally strong and strong-willed and determined to get rid of it.

This was the voice of Saruman, almost equal to the magical voice of the Dragonborn.

"It was I who asked the elves and Mithrandil to issue the summoning order." The silver king sat on the north side of the round table, with his back to the moonlight, and the shadow hit his face, making his pair of golden vertical pupils even more dazzling, like the shadows of the night sky. stars.

His voice also made everyone unable to stop listening, and like a gust of wind, it spread into everyone's ears and flowed into their hearts, clearing away the last voice.

"Because I found that the elves and wizards have been too slack in the past 1000 years! You shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting this world, but you allow darkness to grow in Central Continent, and you don't even know that our enemies have returned."

"This is a very serious accusation." The first voice sounded immediately, and the tone was like that of a kind-hearted person who was wronged by the wrongful injury.

"The elves and wizards worked hard and never let up to guard the peace and tranquility of this land. Isn't this a credit? As for the enemy, I'm sorry, please forgive my ignorance. May I ask which big man has witnessed his honor? What? Sauron was wiped out thousands of years ago, isn't that known to everyone? Ah, but since the Silver King holds his own authority, let's listen to it, what's your point?"

Everyone present almost held their breath.

This was a confrontation of wills. The white-robed wizard and the silver-white king almost showed their preferences when they met for the first time.

Two pairs of shining eyes gleamed in the darkness.

In this invisible battle, wisdom is their source, their voice is their weapon, their eyes are like substance, and they come and go in the air.

"In the North, we met the Balrog, the Lord of Wolves; in Carndum, the screams of the Nine Knights echo to this day; in Dol Guldur, we passed the Shadow; in Mordor, he The minions of their masters have almost clearly demonstrated their master's despicable plans, and the recovery of the Ithil spar is not evidence?"

"Almost? Sorry, I seem to have heard a plausible word. Is this rigorous? Ah, perhaps we have experienced many battles, but isn't that what the Silver King did for his oath? He blew the ancient horn, bustling , noisy, disturbed almost everyone's peace, but almost fooled us with one sentence. Ha, my lord, please forgive me, if you can prove that his figure has really reappeared, then I will agree with you !"

A huge magical air pressure condensed between the two, the moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, and the wind stopped.The sky became dark and heavy, as if it was about to fall.

"Don't rush to convict each other."

Lady Galadriel of the Golden Forest spoke, and her voice flooded into everyone's hearts at the same time, like a spring and moonlight.

Her hair exudes gold and silver at the same time, and her eyes sparkle with wisdom.

"We have gathered here at the call of our allies, isn't it to discuss countermeasures? The elves have also noticed that the shadows are sweeping again, and the solution is urgent."

This dealt a blow to the white robe wizard.

Because he was surprised to find that the position of the Elf Queen was almost the same as that of the Silver King.

In addition to the silent Lord of the Golden Flower, Elrond, and his two fellow wizards with sharp eyes, he could hardly find an ally, which made Saruman extremely frustrated and frustrated.

His strength may not be lost, but his heart has been completely lost.

"If this is Madam Galadriel's request, then so be it." The white-robed wizard withdrew his power and said with a dull expression.

The Dragonborn was also amazed by the opponent's strength, they calmed down and put away a huge coercion.

Then the wind resumed its flow.

The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, and the bright moonlight descended on the earth again.

Lady Galadriel nodded to the white robe wizard and the silver king with a smile on her face, and said nothing.A pure white silver ring flashed between her onion-like jade fingers.

"Master Turka must have his reasons for saying this, let us listen to the reasons. It is not surprising that a wise man has a lot of worries, but he still fails to take care of everything."

said Gandalf the Grey.He is one of the most loyal allies of the Silver King on this invisible battlefield.

Turka thought for a while and took out a well-wrapped oilcloth.

"what is this?"

All eyes were attracted.

Turka informed the members of the Holy White Council about the simultaneous outbreak of an inexplicable disease in the north and the south, and opened the package himself. Inside was a piece of ordinary sackcloth, which seemed to be torn from someone's clothing.

"I cut this from a person suffering from a disease. The power attached to it must be familiar to everyone."

Radagast in the brown robe was the first to rush up, smelling it regardless of his image, and even licked it, his cloudy eyes showed a bright light.

"That's right, this is indeed the smell of witchcraft."

Now everyone was in an uproar.

The white-robed wizard's expression changed. He looked at the rag in confusion, silently thinking about something.
