The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 778 As long as you don’t give me the Supreme Ring
"Hey!"

At this moment, Sam, who had been "eavesdropping" for a long time, suddenly rushed in, leaned close to Frodo and said with his hands on his waist: "Frodo can't live without me!"

Seeing this, Merry and Pippin, who had sneaked into the meeting under the guards' noses, also crowded around Frodo and said, "We want to go too!"

"You need smart people for this mission, exploration, that sort of thing," Pippin said incoherently.

Then he whispered to Frodo: "By the way, where are we going?"

"..."

Frodo suddenly realized that it was a mistake to bring this troublemaker with him.
But at this time, Elrond had already begun to announce the final result: "Nine companions, you are the Fellowship of the Ring..."

"and many more."

Li Ming suddenly stood up and said righteously, "Since this is a matter concerning the safety of the entire Middle-earth, the Kingdom of Eriador cannot lag behind. I am willing to personally bring two of my men with me to join!"

Then he pointedly said: "After all, I am not like a certain king of Rivendell who can only trick others into doing dangerous things."

Elrond quickly closed his eyes to avoid revealing the murderous intent in them.

He gritted his teeth and explained: "I am the bearer of the Ring of Viya, guarding Rivendell. If I leave with the ring, Rivendell will quickly decline!"

"And the Fellowship of the Ring should not have too many members, especially since you are the King of Eriador. If you disappear, Sauron will easily find you."

Elrond certainly didn't want Li Ming to join the Fellowship of the Ring, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble Li Ming would do.

Li Ming curled his lips, expecting something. Then he followed Elrond's words and said, "Then let Akshan and Adun join in."

Now Elrond had no reason to object. He couldn't just say that he didn't want anyone from the Kingdom of Eriador, right?

Moreover, the strength of Akshan and Adun is obvious to all, and joining the Fellowship of the Ring will be a strong help.

"No problem!" Gandalf the Grey Robe Loren immediately said, "At this time, we should abandon our factions and unite to fight the enemy."

What Loren said was very meaningful. He believed that if Li Ming was a reincarnation, he would definitely understand it.

Loren said this not because he really wanted to cooperate with Li Ming, but simply because he wanted to win over Li Ming first. After all, Li Ming knew too much about them. If he didn't let Li Ming stand on the same front with him, once Li Ming tried to sabotage, the consequences would be something Loren could not bear!
After being stunned for a while, Li Ming nodded in Loren's expectant gaze: "Gandalf is right, we should indeed unite."

"After all, my goal is to kill that great devil Sauron, in order to avenge him for deceiving people in my hometown!"

When Elrond and others heard Li Ming's words, they thought he was talking about the hatred for the destruction of the Kingdom of Arnor.

At most, I was amazed in my heart at how deep King Arthas's feelings for the Old Kingdom were.

But Gandalf Loren was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Hometown... to deceive people... revenge?"

"Revenge is good!"

Loren thought he knew why someone had interfered in this Origin Mission, and why no trouble had been caused over the years.

It turns out that the bishop is Li Ming’s enemy!

Now Loren felt relieved. If that was the case, then Li Ming and he were natural allies.

We just need to prevent... Li Ming from really killing Sauron in the end.

However, according to Loren's understanding of this world, even if the One Ring was destroyed and Sauron died in Middle-earth, as long as Morgoth was still there, Sauron could be resurrected.

Although Morgoth was expelled from the world of Arda, he never really died. This also meant that his true form was the bishop of Sauron. Even if he failed, he would not die. After the origin mission was completed, the bishop could still return as a bishop.

But Loren would not tell King Arthas in front of him about this matter.

After all, he also had to prevent Li Ming from really killing the bishop. Although the possibility was very low, if something went wrong, he would be in trouble after leaving this mission world. Gandalf Grey Robe Loren smiled at Li Ming: "Yes, we all want to kill Sauron!"

The two of them had now officially formed an alliance, right under Elrond's nose.

At this time, Elrond was still thinking about where to start if he became a swordsman.

There was no other way. Given the current situation, he could only indulge in it in his mind.

But Elrond could never have imagined that his loyal ally Gandalf had actually colluded with his number one enemy.

After the Fellowship of the Ring left, Elrond immediately ordered the elves of Rivendell to start packing their bags. They planned to leave Middle-earth and head for Aman, the continent where Valinor, the residence of the gods, was located.

The next era in Middle-earth will be the human era. The elves should withdraw from the stage of history, and Middle-earth will no longer be suitable for the elves to live in.

Not to mention that there are people like Li Ming in Middle-earth, whom Elrond finds annoying.

The Fellowship of the Ring set out that day, and Gandalf chose to attempt to reach Mordor through the Pass of Rohan below Isengard, across the Kingdom of Rohan.

It takes about forty days to walk from Rivendell along the mountain road to the Pass of Rohan.

Although it's a detour, it can also avoid being tracked by the Ringwraiths.

Li Ming left with them as he was on his way back to Shabad.

Looking at Li Ming and Gandalf leaving side by side, Elrond suddenly felt as if he had lost something.

During the journey, Li Ming easily found an opportunity to be alone with Gandalf. They revealed their identities to each other and reached a basic consensus. They were willing to put aside the disputes between their camps and work together for the long-term stability of Middle-earth and fight against the dark forces represented by Sauron.

In order to show his sincerity, Gandalf also took the initiative to tell the important information that Saruman had been possessed by the Great Lord Sauron and became his body.

And Li Ming also showed his goodwill.

"A ring?"

Gandalf stared at the orange-yellow gem ring in Li Ming's hand and asked in surprise: "Is this another dwarven magic ring?"

"That's right!" Li Ming nodded, "This is one of the dwarven magic rings."

"For so many years I sent people to search Eriador and the surrounding areas, and finally found the ring in the Misty Mountains."

"Because I'm a reincarnation, I can still resist the erosion of one ring." Li Ming sighed, "But I can't do anything about two rings."

"So I think I'd better give it to you. Only a reincarnator can unleash its power."

Although the Lord of the Rings are notorious in Middle-earth, no one can deny their power.

As for being corrupted and becoming a Ringwraith, only humans can do that.

Gandalf hesitated for a long time, but finally chose to take the ring from Li Ming.

In fact, Gandalf Loren also searched for the Dwarven Ring, but could not find it.

Because this journey is extremely dangerous, a little more strength would be great.

He is both a Maia and a Reincarnator, and can be said to be the person in Middle-earth who can best exert the power of the ring.

Although he can be corrupted, Gandalf can last much longer than other races.

"As long as it's not the One Ring," he thought.
