The Lord Of The Rings: Smaug At The Start

Chapter 097 Changes in Fagon Forest! (1/5)

“Ok.

Treebeard shook his head, the gods were too far away for him, so he did not continue to struggle with this issue, and thought about it and said to Gandalf:

“Since you’re going to Lothlorien, I’ll take you there.”

Gandalf, somewhat unwilling to trouble his friend, smiled and said:

“No need, I’ll just go by myself.

But Treebeard shook his head and explained:

“Gandalf, you don’t know, don’t know why, recently, a large number of tree people in Fagon Forest have been transformed into Huen, if you encounter them, you will be punished!”

Hearing Treebeard’s words, Gandalf’s expression changed, and he quickly asked:

“The shepherds have all turned into Huns? When did this happen?”

It has been more than 100 years since Gandalf entered the Fagon Forest last time, so he can be said to be ignorant of everything that happened in the Fagon “823” forest. Now that he heard the news, naturally Very surprised.

You must know that Huen is different from ordinary shepherds. They are more aggressive and possessive. All creatures that enter the Fagon Forest will be attacked by them.

If it was true, as Shubeard said, there must be an unknowable change in the Fagon Forest, and he must find out why.

“About ten years.”

Hearing Gandalf’s question, Treebeard was in a trance, lost in memories, and replied somewhat uncertainly.

Then he continued:

“As you know, the area of ​​Fagon Forest has been shrinking, and the number of Awakened Treants is also gradually decreasing. About fifty years ago, there was no moment when an ancient tree awakened to become a Treant, so the number of Treants It has remained unchanged at more than 200.”

After a slight pause, he continued to recall the information he knew in his mind, and said to Gandalf:

“About ten years ago, yes, just ten years ago, there was an inexplicable aura in Fagon Forest. After this aura was absorbed by ordinary tree herdsmen, they became Huen. Now, Huen The number is approaching one hundred.”

Speaking of which, Treebeard’s voice was a little distressed.

“Didn’t Lord Bombardier ask about this?”

Gandalf asked a little strangely, you must know that Bombardier is the incarnation of God the Father. Although this is only one side of Bombardier’s words, it can be seen from the divine power he passed on to himself that Bombardier should not lie, because Bombardier’s The purity of divine power is far above the main god Manwei.

“I also asked the adults for help before, but the adults said that this is a disaster that the tree herdsmen must experience.”

Treebeard answered Gandalf anguished.

“A disaster that must be experienced?

A trace of doubt flashed between Gandalf’s brows, but then he shook his head, even the Father said so, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to intervene.

So he said with a hint of helplessness in his tone:

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, my friend, but I don’t know anything about it, and I have to rush to Lothlorien now, and when I’m done with the elves, I’ll come back and look for the shepherds The reason for the change, trust me.”

When Treebeard heard that Gandalf was willing to help, he danced with joy:

“Of course, you are our Shepherd’s best friend, Mislanda forever.”

“Then Treebeard, for the sake of our friendship, can you send me to the back of Fagon Forest?

Gandalf climbed up the pole.

“Of course, sit down.

Shuhu promised aloud, and then exerted force with his feet, thinking of running away to the north.

All the way north, after three days, Gandalf came to Lothlorien!

Lothlorien is located in the Anduin Valley, which is the kingdom of the elves. A turbulent river surrounds Lothlorien, forming a natural place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Coupled with the power of the Elf Queen Galadriel, the Ring of Water Nanya, protecting Lothlorien from evil and dangerous harassment, this place has been a holy place for elves for thousands of years.

In the elf palace, Galadriel and her husband Celebreng sat in the center of the hall, looking at this former comrade-in-arms in front of them with complicated expressions:

“Gandalf, you say that the Valar has cut off the way from Middle-earth to the Holy Land of Oman?

Gandalf nodded and replied in a flat tone: “Yes, this is what I have seen with my own eyes. In addition, there are a large number of orc armies roaming the sea, and the elves have no hope of coming to the Holy Land of Oman.”

After Galadriel got Gandalf’s confirmation, he forced Gandalf’s eyes and said with a hint of displeasure in his tone:

“So, this time you came to Lothlorien to find me, so that I could give you the Ring of Water?”

Gandalf looked at Galadriel without flinching and said:

“Back in the dark forest, we made an agreement that you and Celeborn would fight against Sauron together. However, in the battle of Mordor, no elves appeared. Shouldn’t you give me an explanation?”

Galadriel didn’t care about Gandalf’s questioning, she said to Gandalf in a high voice:

“When you decided to attack Mordor, you didn’t inform the elves, so of course I won’t participate…

Gandalf frowned, very dissatisfied with Galadriel’s response, he retorted:

“But it is the responsibility of the ring-bearer to protect the Middle-earth. Since you are unwilling to take responsibility, then you must hand over the water ring, and the leader of the war, His Excellency Zhou Yang, the dragon knight, will keep the water ring.”

Hearing this, Celeborn, who had been silent, said with a displeased expression:

“Gandalf, the Ring of Water is a magic item created by me. Its ownership should be decided by me, not by you unrelated people.”

Gandalf dismissed Celeborn’s remarks, he didn’t even pay attention to Celeborn, and continued to look at Galadriel:

“Galadriel, my friend, do you want Gandalf to be a man of his word?”

Hearing Gandalf’s words, Galadriel fell into silence. At the meeting in the Mirkwood, she and Celeborn had indeed promised to deal with Sauron 1.1. No matter what reason she had, she couldn’t hide her fear of the darkness. Facts about participating in the Battle of Mordor.

It’s just that the water ring is also extremely important to her. Now the elves have lost hope of going to the Holy Land of Oman, and the elves have lost the air ring, and the role of the water ring is even more prominent. However, the Ring of Water cannot be handed over.

After thinking for a long time, Galadriel still shook his head at Gandalf and said:

“Mislanda, you will always be our friend, but the Ring of Water is about the safety of Lothlorien, and I cannot give it to you.”

After Gandalf was rejected, he did not become angry. He stared at Galadriel and asked in a slow tone:

“Galandriel, I know your plan. You think that after Sauron’s death, the dark forces of Middle-earth will perish, right?”
