Simulate the heavens from Faerûn

Chapter 269: Lots of Contradictions [Please subscribe]

Gandalf knew that the scene before him must be caused by Sauron's conspiracy, and it must have a lot to do with the previous big explosion.

Gandalf even believed that this land was contaminated by Sauron's curse, and that the people living in this land would also suffer from terrible diseases.

However, he could not find a solution, and he was basically powerless even for those hobbits who were suffering from terrible diseases.

Even if he tried his best, he could only treat four or five people a day. Faced with a huge patient base, the help he could provide was only a drop in the bucket.

A large number of hobbits could only get some relief from the paralysis of tobacco, and died in pain in the illusion and coughing caused by the smoke.

As for those "lucky ones" who don't seem to show symptoms, their bodies are already riddled with holes, and their fate is just a painful and slow death.

Even those really lucky people had some minor problems during this half month - their physiques became weak and they became tired easily.

It is conceivable that if they continue to stay in Shire, they will also be cursed, and finally come to a tragic and painful end.

Gandalf knew that if Sauron's mysterious curse could not be solved, the Shire would be doomed and the hobbits of the Shire would surely be in dire straits.

Only a handful of hobbits were able to leave the Shire alive, but this meant that the Shire disappeared and became a tragic memory for the Hobbits.

Thinking of the Shire, full of laughter and laughter, turning into a wasteland, with only boundless tombs and pipe grass, and no more of this group of optimistic and tenacious hobbits.

Therefore, great pressure weighed on Gandalf's heart.

From the current situation of the Hobbits to the horrific disasters that may befall free life in Middle-earth, Gandalf can no longer stay.

Although he really wanted to stay here to help his friends, his strong sense of mission and concern about his fate forced him to leave the Shire and fight to save all living beings in Middle-earth and fight against Sauron, the culprit.

Gandalf informed the hobbits of his theory and persuaded them to leave the Shire for the time being.

Then, Gandalf rode on Shadow and left this area that impressed him with tears, bidding farewell to his friends.

He knew that this departure might mean goodbye to many of his friends forever.

But Gandalf had no other choice.

Still, Gandalf found himself underestimating this horrific disaster.

After leaving the Shire, Gandalf learned that a terrible curse was also spreading around the Shire.

Thousands of people died in agony due to the horrific curse.

Some towns even took the initiative to help the victims escape in order to prevent them from suffering such endless pain.

Panic and fear are spreading in the north. In this spring, countless refugees fled south...

The more he saw, the more worried Gandalf became.

April 4th was supposed to be a happy time when birds were flying and grass was growing, and all things were coming to life, but the fatigue and worry in Gandalf's eyes had almost solidified.

Fortunately, however, he finally reached Karathgarathon in Lothlórien, met his old friend Galadriel, and held a White Council with her help.

The forests of Lothlórien are golden all year round. It is the only place where the dragon grows in Middle-earth. The leaves turn golden in autumn and the leaves stand proudly on the branches all winter.

In spring, the golden leaves fall, covering the earth with a golden blanket, new silver-green leaves sprout quietly, and golden flowers bloom on the branches.

The city of Karathgarazon is located in a huge forest clearing in the Loriennes Forest deep in Lothlórien.

Because of the threat of the Black Forest's demons and the sharp decline in its relationship with humans, Karasgarazon City was built like a fortress.

The city is surrounded by a graben and a high green wall that serves as a fortification.Within the city wall is a towering green hill, the top of which is covered with towering turtle trees. The main part of Karaskarazon is built in the form of an aerial terrace (Talan, or Flat), built on top of the giant trees. on the branches.

The city gate of Karaskarazon faces southwest and has many lamps hanging on it.It is tall and sturdy, but there is no guard to open the door. Instead, it relies on magical secret words to open it.

No residents can be seen walking on the roads inside the city, and only the ethereal singing from the trees can be heard.

There is a beautifully laid out flat lawn at the top of the hill. In the center of the lawn is a fountain. The water it sprays first falls into a silver basin next to it, and then overflows from the basin, forming a stream that rushes down the mountain.It was from this stream that Galadriel, who had the power of prophecy, drew his water mirror.

There is an unparalleled huge turtle tree in the south of this wide meadow, with a white ladder for climbing under the tree.

Although climbing is hard, there are many high and low platforms built on the branches of the big tree, so you can rest at any time.

At a very high place in Maulon close to the top of the tree, there is an oval palace built around the tree. This is the palace of Lord Celeborn of Lorien and his wife Galadriel. Their thrones are placed side by side. Regardless of ranking.

There is a higher observation platform above the palace, which is the highest point in the entire forest.

Here Gandalf and Galadriel talked softly.

"Madame Galadriel... The phantom has shrouded Middle-earth again... Sauron has become even more terrifying. He has mastered terrible weapons and curses..."

"Fireballs as dazzling as the sun appeared in the sky and on the ground...The ultimate light became the only thing...Although the surviving lives looked normal, they were actually riddled with holes..."

"In the groans of pain, life was tortured to death by Sauron's curse...the damaged internal organs, the separated flesh and blood, the dilapidated body..."

"Mrs. Galadriel, do you know... I set out from the Shire and saw no less than [-] victims along the hundred miles... There were more people lying at home waiting to die..."

Gandalf picked up a piece of gold leaf and said with compassion.

Galadriel sighed, looking down at the relaxed and comfortable life of the elves in the city, she felt extremely depressed.

If the war with Sauron is restarted, the joy and laughter of Lothlórien will disappear, and there will be no telling how many elves will be left dead in the wild.

If attacked by Sauron's terrifying weapon, Lothlórien would probably suffer heavy losses even if he had the power to protect him...

The fate of Lothlórien and her kind rested in her thoughts.In the end, she trusted Gandalf, the wise elder.

"Oluolin, what should we do? Reorganize the coalition?"

"Yes and no. We must beware of Sauron's terrorist attacks with mysterious weapons and find a solution to the curse... The most important thing is that the free people of Middle-earth unite to eliminate Sauron hiding in the dark corners. !”

"As for the coalition forces... let's forget it for now..."

"Although due to family lineage and all traditions, as Númenóreans, the rulers and Sauron were at odds with each other, and this must be the case in politics: their rising kingdom was a threat to him, and their survival depended on their ability to Resist his threats to them with force..."

"But humans are too greedy and proud...I never expected that I could guide the proud rulers of Gondor through actions and teachings..."

Thinking of the performance of the human kingdom and the violent conflicts between humans and other races in the past few hundred years, Gandalf sighed and spoke slowly with a complicated look on his face.

This is why Gondor, despite being the center of knowledge and power in Middle-earth, attracts less of Gandalf's attention.Of course, this is why Saruman is interested in Gondor.

Hearing this, Galadriel was relieved.

After all, Galadriel also believes that the formation of a coalition is unrealistic. The relationship between elves and humans can no longer support this kind of trust.

A few days later Radagast arrived.

He previously lived in Rothgorbel near the western edge of Mirk Forest, where he was there to monitor the evil that was slowly spreading from Dol Guldur.He is very familiar with the residents of that area. In addition, he is good at changing shapes, has rich knowledge of herbs, birds and animals, and is especially friends with the big eagle.He lived very close to Lothlórien, so he came after receiving the news and helped Gandalf gather the members of the White Council.

On April 4, Saruman of Isengard arrived belatedly, and all members of the White Council gathered together, and the White Council was officially held.

At the meeting, Gandalf, as the convener, told the reasons for convening the meeting and shared what he had seen and heard in March.

Hearing this, the participants couldn't help talking about it, no matter whether they had heard of the "Big Bang" and "Mysterious Curse" before, everyone was terrified after hearing the story of Gandalf, who had experienced it.

Especially Saruman, he was even more horrified by this, because he had been searching for the Supreme Ring in the Misty Mountains during this period and had no time to care about anything else. This was the first time he had heard of these things.

Moreover, he couldn't help but feel a little scared when he thought that he and Sauron had been competing fiercely in the Misty Mountains before and had the upper hand.

Saruman, who was originally dissatisfied with Gandalf's sudden meeting of the White Council to disturb his search for the One Ring, is now even more annoyed.

In the face of such great danger, Gandalf, how come you are still alive? !
Seeing Gandalf in the spotlight, a small flame of jealousy surged in Saruman's heart.

However, Saruman, who has not been corrupted by Sauron, has not yet become a slave to power, nor has he lost his mind over trivial matters.

"Sauron has returned...we..."

"Curse... what curse is so terrifying?! Even Lord Mithrandir can't solve it? I think we can give it a try, see the situation, and think of a solution..."

Saruman narrowed his eyes and said seriously, interrupting Gandalf's speech.

"..."

Hearing this, the others looked at each other and nodded, agreeing with Saruman's proposal.

This is not to distrust Gandalf, but just in case, so that they can have a feasible way when facing this curse in the future.

And instead of thinking about Sauron hiding in the corner, they were more worried about the dangerous curse in front of them.

"Yes, it's time for everyone to find a solution together. After all, I am only one person short of wisdom. We should be able to come up with a good solution if we work together..."

Gandalf's eyes swept across the conference hall, watching everyone's movements, and he nodded in agreement.

"There is a person nearby who is suffering from a curse and is terminally ill. I can go and have a look..."

In this way, the White Council temporarily went off the rails and turned into a medical and magic meeting.

Everyone gathered around the unlucky man and tried their best to find traces of the curse and a cure.

It was eventually discovered that the person who suffered the "curse" had already "died" physically in a sense, and the entire body had already become pathological changes, like a wooden building that was eaten away by termites. It collapsed under its own weight.

Moreover, although they can treat people, they cannot come up with universal treatment methods, because their treatment methods either require powerful spellcasters or legendary treasures like the Ring of Power, and only a handful of people can be treated every day. countable.

However, the elven lords felt very satisfied.

Because they found that this "curse" could only work on a very small number of weak elves, and they could completely treat it.

However, everyone still has not given up and is still exploring the principles and traces of the curse.However, they failed to discover it for a long time...

Until a piece of news broke their desperate behavior.

April 4, Karasgarathon, Palace of the Lords.

"What?! You said that Changhu Town, River Valley City, and Gushan Kingdom were destroyed and occupied by dragons?!"

Saruman looked at Radagast and said in disbelief.

Although he had already guessed that Sauron was hiding in Dol Guldur, when it was actually revealed, he was still extremely frightened - how could there be so many dragons? !

Radagast looked at everyone's shocked expressions and took the one that flew near his ear!The bird, placed on the shoulder, frowned and said:

"This is true! My assistant told me that the dwarves in Changhu Town, River Valley City, and the Gushan Kingdom were hunted down by the orcs in Dol Guldur, and later fled into the city."

"Now, they use half of the wealth of River Valley City and Changhu Town to recruit mercenaries and prepare to counterattack..."

"Throl, the king of the Lonely Mountain Kingdom, is also asking for help from the other six dwarf groups and is preparing to take back the Lonely Mountain with the dwarf coalition!"

"Also, my friends told me that the Black Forest, especially Dol Gudu, has gathered a large number of orcs and monsters!"

"what?!"

This wave of unrest comes one after another, causing confusion among the White Council gentlemen who are discussing the future of Middle-earth.

The current situation is that Sauron is hiding in Dol Guldur. He has mastered weapons of mass destruction and curses. He has captured important stations around the Black Forest and he has gathered a large number of men.

Humans have gathered a large number of troops and mercenaries for wealth, and the dwarves are convening a coalition of dwarves to restore the country, but they don't know about Sauron, and they only think that the dragon is greedy for money.

The Bai Dao meeting has just begun, and before we can come up with a solution, the world has changed like this! !

The world has changed so fast!This will be a good time!
With such a light start to the war, where do all the sentient beings in Middle-earth leave? !

In order to demonstrate the leadership of the White Council to the free world and for the peace and stability of Middle-earth, the White Council needs to come up with something.

Everyone turned their attention to Saruman.

"Ahem...the dwarves and humans are too reckless! They don't even know what they are facing! We need to keep them calm..."

Saruman said angrily, but he was secretly happy in his heart, because once the war started, Sauron would definitely be hampered and would have no time to take care of the Misty Mountains.

Although he was afraid of the power controlled by Sauron, he still did not mention the One Ring to the White Council because he still hoped that he could be the first to find the One Ring.

Listening to this nonsense, everyone turned their attention to Gandalf.

"Whoo~~!"

A big smoke ring blew out, Gandalf narrowed his eyes and said:
"They really need to calm down... the Eldas... are going to prepare for war... I'm going to help them..."

"I will send troops from Isengard to the Misty Mountains to contain Sauron's forces!"

All members were lost in thought, silently communicating with each other.

Then, everyone nodded in agreement.Then some specific measures were discussed, and then everyone divided their things, and the huge war machine was quietly started...

　Middle-earth is expected to end in three to five chapters, and the protagonist will return to Faerûn.
