save the bachelors

Chapter 5069-5072 [Gathering of All Talents]

"The elves are leaving Middle-earth." Tauriel said to Xiang Nan with emotion.

"To be honest, I really want to visit the Holy Land of Valinor." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

During these decades, he and Tauriel traveled almost all over Middle-earth, including the mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, and towns and kingdoms of various races.

Now the only place they have not been to is the holy land of Valinor, but Xiang Nan can sense that place.

The holy land of Valinor is far to the west of Middle-earth and is surrounded by a magical barrier that can only be reached by elven ships.

No matter human, dwarf, tree man or orc, they were all incapable of passing through. That is why Bilbo, Frodo, Sam and Gimli all went to Valinor with the elves.

It would be difficult for them to do this on their own.

"If I have the chance, I would also like to visit Valinor." Tauriel nodded.

Back then, although her ancestors were guided by the Valar and prepared to go to the holy land of Valinor, they stopped halfway because of fear and finally chose to stay in Middle-earth.

This resulted in them not receiving instruction from the Valar and the Maiar, and their strength had always been the weakest among the elves, and they had always been looked down upon by the Noldor and Sindar elves.

That was why Thranduil had stopped her relationship with Legolas. So she also wanted to go to Valinor to see who would look down on her.

"After Sauron is destroyed, let's go there and take a look." Xiang Nan nodded and smiled.

He would not go to Valinor now, because the allied forces of Men, Elves, and Dwarves would unite for the last time to fight against the Dark Lord Sauron.

By then, the war will not only break out in Gondor and Rohan, but even the elven kingdoms in Dale, Erebor, and Mirkwood will also be attacked by the forces of darkness.

If he could not resist this wave of attacks, then Middle-earth would be ruled by Sauron and return to darkness. So he could not leave now, he had to make sure that the Ring was really destroyed.

By then, the great devils would be dead, and he could go to Valinor with peace of mind.

……

Two days later, Arwen, the daughter of Lord Elrond, brought the unconscious Frodo back to Rivendell.

It turned out that Frodo was attacked by nine Ringwraiths on his way to Rivendell. Although he put on the ring and escaped into the underworld, he gave these Ringwraiths an opportunity.

Because these Ringwraiths themselves are neither alive nor dead, they can only exist in the netherworld. The armor and black robes they wear are to help them appear in the real world so that they can communicate with others.

So Frodo escaped into the Underworld, where he was discovered by the Ringwraiths, who stabbed him with the Morgul Sword.

The Sword of Morgul is a vicious sword specially made for the Witch-king of Angmar. Once it pierces into a person's body, it will break into pieces and travel along the blood directly to the heart.

So although Frodo seemed to have only been hit by a sword in the shoulder and was not seriously injured, he was actually doomed to die. At the critical moment, Strider arrived and drove away the nine Ringwraiths, and used kingsweed to relieve Frodo's injuries in time, allowing him to hold on until Arwen arrived.

Arwen took him on a fast horse and galloped all the way to Rivendell. During the journey, they had to deal with the pursuit and interception of the nine Ringwraiths. It was extremely dangerous.

But in the end, Arwen successfully led Frodo there, and Elrond helped Frodo heal the damage caused by the sword of Morgul.

But despite this, the Demon Cave Sword left him with a lifelong injury that could never be healed, and his shoulder still hurts from time to time.

...Later, Strider also arrived at Rivendell with Frodo's friends, Sam, Merry and Pippin.

Boromir, the eldest son of Denethor, the regent of Gondor, Legolas, the prince of the Elven Kingdom of Mirkwood, Bard II, the Lord of Dale (grandson of Bard the Archer), the son of Théoden of the Kingdom of Rohan... and other leaders of various kingdoms and forces came in person or sent representatives.

Subsequently, a meeting concerning the fate of Middle-earth was officially held.

Everyone gathered together and began to discuss the issue of the Lord of the Rings.

"Dear new and old friends who have come from afar, we have summoned you here to deal with the threat of Mordor." Elrond, the Elf Lord, presided over the meeting. "Middle-earth has reached its final moment. No one can escape. Either unite or perish together. All races face the same fate and disaster."

"Give me the Ring, Frodo." Gandalf looked at Frodo and said.

Frodo obeyed and placed a golden ring on the table. Everyone's attention was immediately attracted by it, except Xiang Nan.

When he saw the ring, he felt nothing.

Because although this ring is powerful, it is far inferior to his true strength.

To be honest, the only things that can impress him now are probably the Tai Chi diagram, Pangu Banner, Four Swords of Zhu Xian, Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and Exquisite Pagoda of Heaven and Earth in the world of Investiture of the Gods.

Or the three Mother Boxes and the Anti-Life Equation in the DC Universe, and Kang the Conqueror's time machine in the Marvel Universe.

……

"So the legends are true," Boromir, son of the Steward of Gondor, said excitedly when he saw the ring. "In my dreams, I saw the sky darken in the east, but there was still a glimmer in the west. A voice cried out, 'Your doom is near, and the slayer of Isildur has been found.'"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and the closer he got to the ring. Finally, he couldn't help but reach out for it.

"Boromir~" Elrond shouted immediately.

"The One Ring controls all the Rings, the One Ring seeks all the Rings, the One Ring leads all the Rings, and all the Rings are bound in darkness..." At this moment, Gandalf also spoke loudly the dark language of Mordor.

In an instant, the sky over Rivendell turned gloomy, and it seemed as if it would be swallowed by darkness at any moment.

When everyone heard this, they became extremely distressed and panicked, except Xiang Nan, of course.

Boromir was suddenly awakened and hurriedly left the One Ring.

"Gandalf, no one has ever dared to speak such vicious words in Rivendell." Elrond then looked at Gandalf and said.

What Gandalf had just said was the Black Language invented by the devil Sauron, which was harsh and evil. Naturally, it was not allowed to be used in the kingdom of the elves.

And these words are exactly what Sauron imprinted on the One Ring, representing the supreme status and power of the One Ring.

Once he possesses the One Ring, he will be able to control the other Rings of Power and bring all the free men of Middle-earth under his dark rule.

"I dare not ask your pardon, Lord Elrond. I have spoken the Dark Tongue of Mordor, and yet it may be heard in every corner of the West," Gandalf explained.

If the One Ring is not destroyed, then Sauron will be invincible and he will most likely rule Middle-earth. At that time, all races will be forced to use this black language.
