The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 759: Thank you for the gift from the Middle-earth robbers

With the Supreme Lamp Ring, Li Ming felt much more confident.

Although the original energy in the lamp ring has been emptied due to the origin mission, it doesn’t matter. He just beats up a few people and the energy of fear will come.

Li Ming put the Supreme Lantern Ring on the middle finger of his left hand. The ring looked like a luxurious ring with a yellow gemstone, and it did not look out of place in Middle-earth.

When he first came to this world, the first thing Li Ming had to figure out was what era it was, as well as the intelligence on the continent. Loren and the bishop arrived here first, and they would definitely do something inconsistent with the plot. Li Ming could then infer their location.

He walked out of the woods onto a path and headed in a random direction, but he was still shocked by how sparsely populated Middle-earth was.

Li Ming walked along the main road for nearly four hours before he saw someone coming out.

Still five robbers.

These five sloppy-looking men, wearing leather armor and holding long swords, quickly surrounded Li Ming in the center and looked at him carefully.

Suddenly the leader's eyes lit up, and he pointed at Li Ming and shouted, "His ring is a treasure!"

In the origin mission, Li Ming could understand what these natives said.

So when he shook his head and spoke to the robbers, they could understand him.

"This is a place where only birds come to shit. Aren't you really going to starve to death if you squat here and rob people?"

Li Ming was really curious. Could it be that robbers also had the saying that if they closed their shop for three years, they could make a living for three years after opening it?
But the bandit leader thought that Li Ming was provoking them. Seeing that Li Ming did not seem to have any weapons, he waved his hand and the bandits rushed forward, wanting to get close to Li Ming.

After this, he couldn’t stand up again.

Even though Li Ming's physical fitness is no different from that of ordinary people now, his fighting skills are far beyond the reach of the bandits.

Ip Man can beat ten of them, and he can beat ten Ip Mans.

After beating up the robbers, they looked at Li Ming with fear in their eyes, and Li Ming nodded as he looked at the shining Supreme Lamp Ring.

With the starting energy, recharging is much easier.

He used the power of the yellow light to slightly modify his face in case he was recognized.

However, Li Ming was unable to find out what he wanted from these robbers.

They have no idea what year it is or what major events have happened on the mainland.

But they pointed out to Li Ming that if they walked one hour further ahead they would reach Shabad, the largest human city nearby, where they could go to gather intelligence.

Li Ming readily accepted their suggestion, then rode away on the skinny horse sponsored by the robbers, with a depressed look on his face, along with the twenty or so copper coins that the robbers insisted on stuffing into his hands.

"Five bandits and one horse can't even scrape together enough silver coin. No wonder they only dare to hide in such a remote place to rob." Li Ming spat lightly, "Poor bastard!"

Although his lamp ring already had energy, Li Ming still rode the skinny horse slowly on his way.

I've had a lot to worry about recently because of the faction war, so now is a good time to relax and bask in the sun.

Alas, it’s a pity that [Sun Affinity] is gone too.

Soon, Li Ming saw a city in the distance. It was completely surrounded by walls and there were guards at the gate.

It is said to be the largest city nearby, but in Li Ming's opinion, it is just a village.

After all, 300 elves against 500 dwarves can be called a place where two armies are at war, so it is normal that it is sparsely populated. Moreover, this is not a human country like Gondor, and Shabad has basically no king to rule.

Because this land belonged to the former Kingdom of Arnor, which was established almost at the same time as Gondor, with one in the north and the other in the south serving as each other's support.

Their people are basically Numenoreans, also called Dunedain by the elves, who are the most noble race among humans.

Arnor's ancestors were also rich. Their king was called the High King, who ruled both Arnor and Gondor. But ever since the various races in Middle-earth formed an alliance and defeated Sauron, but the High King Isildur refused to destroy the One Ring and was attacked and killed by orcs on his way back, the Kingdom of Arnor began to decline.

After experiencing divisions, attacks and other disasters in the next one or two thousand years, the northern kingdom of Arnor was completely destroyed.

Aragorn, the emperor of men in the story of "The Lord of the Rings", is a descendant of the royal family of Arnor.

Shabad was once an important town on the southern border of the Kingdom of Arnor, but times have changed, and it is now very difficult to maintain even the most basic human settlement here.

Li Ming entered Shabad unimpeded and went straight to the tavern.

No matter which world, the tavern is one of the places with the best information and the most convenient place to obtain intelligence.

Sure enough, after Li Ming spent all the copper coins in his hand, he finally got the information he wanted.

"It is the year 3003 of the Third Era, 15 years before the story begins." This is information about time.

Although Bilbo only appears in a few scenes in the movie after leaving the One Ring to Frodo, in fact 17 years have passed.

It was not until 3018 that Gandalf found out that the One Ring was in Frodo's hand, and he quickly summoned the Fellowship of the Ring to start the Journey of the Lord of the Rings.

Li Ming just scratched his head in the tavern. No matter how he asked, he couldn't find out what people and things in Middle-earth were different from the plot he remembered.

"Where are Loren and the Bishop?" Li Ming thought to himself.

They entered this world 3000 years ago, and three years have passed now, but there has been no change to the plot?

Although they don't know the subsequent plot, the reincarnations will not just lie dormant and do nothing when they come to the mission world, right?
Li Ming was puzzled.

But he didn't worry for too long. No matter what, it would always be a good idea to gain enough power first.

As long as he doesn't go to places like Gondor and Mordor that are the focus of attention, he can accumulate a lot of yellow light energy in 15 years.

It just so happened that Li Ming had no money left, so he took the skinny horse he had stolen from the bandits and sold it to someone at the tavern.

Two silver dollars.

It was half the price compared to the normal price, but Li Ming didn't care. He took the opportunity to ask the person who bought the horse about the places where bandits were most concentrated.

After eating and drinking, Li Ming set off.

When they arrived at Swan Lake where the two rivers meet east of Shabad, a group of people soon rushed out with knives, guns, sticks and clubs.

Li Ming smiled slightly: "That man was not lying to me. The robbers here are really richer."

He touched the Supreme Lamp Ring. It was night time, just right.
How to make ten people afraid of you?
One man was torn into two halves, the hands and feet of two men were chopped off into three, three men were beaten to a state of life or death, and the remaining four men became obedient.

"From now on you will follow me!" Li Ming waved his hand and said to the remaining four robbers.

It's time to restore the glory of Gotham's gang.
