Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Sauron.

Return to the devil Sauron!
What do you mean?
What is the situation?

As they were still in class, Soran didn't know what to say directly, so he just returned the phone, but quietly wrote down the name "The Lord of the Rings".

Definitely check out this novel.

You look down on him, the legendary wizard, the guardian of the Twin Towers, the great Sauron, right?

The bald wizard Soran considers himself an "old antique" who is relatively up-to-date.

I go online quite frequently and am aware of most of the hot topics.

But a person's energy is limited, while the new content on the entire Internet can be said to be unlimited for an individual.

After several years of development of Shenhai Network, with the continuous optimization of the push function, the information cocoon effect has begun to emerge.

No one can know all the hot spots. At most, they can only know the part that they have always been interested in.

This is quite normal.

Information cocoons also exist when there is no Internet.

Like most mages, they don't care about the warriors' new discoveries in how to apply combat skills.

The mages are half of their peers and are also spellcasters, but the basic principles are different and the priests don't care.

It’s just that the emergence of the Internet has made this phenomenon more obvious.

Each small circle is relatively more closed and closer. In the past, we had to gather offline, but now we can just open a forum.

So being trapped in an information cocoon is no big deal. Everyone is trapped in it, and the cocoon on the Internet is big enough for a person to travel in it for a lifetime.

In the wizard Sauron's understanding, this novel about the devil Sauron, called The Lord of the Rings, may be something like fan fiction.

He knew about fan fiction, after all, he was a fashionable old man who was active in the superhero comics circle.

Moreover, fan fiction just has a new name, but the content is the same old content.

It’s not like there haven’t been similar things before, for example, for those famous legendary stories, the authors would write prequels, sequels, and spin-offs.

It’s similar to fan fiction.

Soren himself even wrote fan fiction for a comic called Spider-Man. He was very dissatisfied with the fact that the screenwriter killed Gwen.

What kind of people are screenwriters? If they can do it, then he can do it too. It's even harder than writing a paper.

So, he personally wrote the if line in which Spider-Man successfully rescued Gwen, and it was quite popular.

Therefore, Sauron is not very opposed to fan fiction.

Even when I saw the Demon Lord Sauron, I felt a little secretly happy.

There's nothing I can do about it. This is the only hobby I have in my life, and that's fame.

Finally someone wrote this legendary wizard into the story! If he wrote a charismatic villain, then it would not be unacceptable for him, Sauron, to be the devil.

After finishing this elective course, Soran immediately slipped out of the classroom without taking a walk. He teleported directly back to his wizard tower, turned on the host, and searched for The Lord of the Rings.

During the search process, I have already started to imagine this story.

The Lord of the Rings…

Soran recalled his glorious past and realized that he had indeed taken on a mission related to a legendary ring when he was young.

But it's not a very famous incident.

Someone actually knows this, he must be a loyal fan of his.

As soon as Sauron typed "The Lord of the Rings" into the search box, a lot of content popped up.

He touched his bald head. This novel was ranked first on the hot search list of the novel forum. It was also a very popular novel.

“Tolkien?”

Who is Tolkien?
He had never heard of this author.

"Why does this name sound like a dwarf?"

Dwarves like to name their children En or Jin.

Sauron clicked on the Lord of the Rings.

"When Mr. Bilbo Baggins of Bag End..."

Soran swore that he just wanted to take a look at first. After all, he was a busy man, or at least he thought he was a busy man.

Not only do you have to attend classes, but you also have to be a masked freak in a tights, attend public events, do some magic experiments, and of course, do fitness. Without strong muscles, how can you use protective spells well?
In fact, the elective course he originally wanted to offer at the Repin Academy was fitness, but unfortunately no one chose it.

Keeping fit is a hobby that is a bit too niche among mages.

According to the plan he had made today, he would just take a casual look at The Lord of the Rings, for at most twenty minutes. If it was well written, he would give him a reward, and if it was not well written, he would report it severely.

Then go and experiment with the dragon scale bionic protection spell.

But twenty minutes later.

Soran looked up at the sky outside. It was not too dark yet. He thought he could do the experiment later.

I am seeing the key point.

Frodo and his party met a mysterious ranger at the Prancing Pony Inn. After they set out on the journey together, they encountered the Ringwraith Knights at the ferry.

A group of former heroes who were corrupted and controlled by dark forces and lost their own will.

Soran didn't like this setting very much. He felt that the former heroes should be given a good ending instead of becoming minions of the evil demon king.

When he was young, he liked watching this kind of profound, tortuous plot. Now that he is older, he likes to watch something that is family-friendly.

I hope that this dwarf author, Sauron, has already acknowledged that this man named Tolkien is a dwarf. I hope that he can give these poor former heroes a good ending. Even if they cannot be resurrected, they should at least be relieved.

However, compared to the fate of the Ringwraiths, Sauron now wants to know more about what happened to Frodo and the others.

Frodo was cornered by the Ringwraiths and fled into the river. Just as he was about to be caught up, a flood suddenly broke out.

The rushing water swept away the Ringwraiths and swallowed Frodo.

"Broken Chapter Dog!"

Soran cursed, but his hand clicked on the next chapter obediently.

"There's no more down there!"

The old man's hoarse voice echoed in the Mage Tower.

Still waiting for update.

A huge feeling of anxiety suddenly began to spread. I was so anxious and wanted to read the next chapter.

What happened to Frodo? Who was that figure who suddenly appeared and caused the flood?

Is it Gandalf who comes to the rescue?
When he was anxious, he suddenly saw that there was a setting collection in the related column of the novel.

Out of curiosity, Soran clicked on it.

When a person is willing to read the related settings of a relatively boring work, it proves that he has completely fallen in love with the work.

What's more, the setting of Lord of the Rings is not that boring.

Soran stared at the screen intently. It was rare for the old man to be so serious nowadays.

A few hours later, when it was completely dark, Soran stretched out his body. Although his body was stronger than his peers, he couldn't resist aging. His lumbar spine made a not-so-pleasant sound.

"What an interesting story."

He couldn't help but sigh.

It was as if it really happened in Felin, but not in the Felin where he was, but in another dimension.

Now he knew that the Demon King Sauron was really a Demon King called Sauron, and had nothing to do with him, the legendary wizard Sauron.

Purely duplicate names.

Under normal circumstances, a representative of evil forces would be unhappy to have the same name as him. However, he could see that this demon king seemed to be of an unusually high level. In the story, he was a super villain who hardly appeared but gave off a strong sense of oppression.

Even without showing up, he scared all the other characters.

not bad.

It’s not that Soran cannot accept villain roles. On the contrary, many villain roles are quite popular. Just like in the superhero comics he reads, many villain roles are as popular as positive roles, and sometimes even more popular.

After reading the setting collection, I refreshed the page and was surprised to find that two new chapters had been updated.

"Many meetings, and the council called by Elrond..."

Soran started reading immediately. As for the magic experiment, it was not important and he could do it someday when he had nothing to do.

In the story, Frodo was indeed rescued, but it was not as Sauron guessed, Gandalf appeared on the scene.

Instead, he was saved by the Elf Lord, Elderon, whose will could control the river water in the valley.

What kind of top-level strength is this?
Soran thought about whether he had any way to cause a flood by willpower alone without being there in person.

The conclusion is that there is absolutely no way.

This is also what he thinks is very special about this book. Although there are many characters with extraordinary abilities in the story, these characters are not the focus of attention or the most important protagonists.

The real protagonists are the inconspicuous halflings.

They seem out of tune with this cruel background, but they are like a thread connecting all the outstanding characters.

This feels very novel to Sauron, who has seen so many stories where the protagonist is the top fighter and rushes through all the stories indecisiveness.

In the two latest chapters, the main story seems to be fully unfolded for the first time.

Form a team of the Fellowship of the Ring, go to Mount Doom, completely destroy the One Ring, and destroy Sauron's will and power.

"Not enough."

Soran smacked his lips. These two chapters were simply telling people that something bigger was going to happen soon, but he didn’t say what it was.

It makes people itchy.

Because of this novel, Soran has disrupted all his plans for today.

I should be sleeping now, but I decided not to and instead browsed the reader discussion area with great interest.

"I don't think this magic ring is that powerful. It can only make you invisible and affect your mind, and then it's gone. I thought it could really destroy the world..."

Seeing such a post, Soran raised his eyelids, took a deep breath, and quickly tapped his fingers on the keyboard.

That ferocious look is just like the exhaustion group during fitness.

"If you don't understand the book, don't read it. How dare you talk nonsense here? Is that ordinary invisibility? That is invisibility that no one else can detect. It is very different from the ordinary invisibility that can be detected by an invisibility survey and is useless when a tracer bullet is hung!"

Judging from the current performance in the book, there is no anti-stealth method that can be used against the Lord of the Rings. This ability alone is beyond the reach of ordinary legendary magic items.

Soran continued to output fiercely.

"And it can also affect the mind, even Gandalf's mind. In the setting collection, Gandalf is not an ordinary wizard, he is God's chosen one! Demigod level! A prop that can affect wizards of this level is already very scary. If Flynn really has this thing, everyone will go crazy to grab it. It is precisely because of this that Frodo's difficulties can be reflected..."

The keyboard clattered.

After finishing the reasoning part, Sauron did not forget to make a few sarcastic remarks.

"You can dig out the eyes if you don't want them, and give them to someone in need."

As a legendary wizard, Soran's behavior online has always been a bit like that of a troll.

It is not decent to speak reason.

But it just so happens that Soran himself doesn't care much about decency.

Soran's speech quickly gained a lot of recognition.

The ring seems to be of little use, which is a common misunderstanding among many readers of The Lord of the Rings who don't read it carefully.

"Isn't it just invisibility and mental attack..."

Indeed, at first glance, these are the only two, and the other abilities are not shown much.

But invisibility and mental attacks only work on ordinary people and working on everyone are completely different concepts.

As a legend, Sauron is very clear about the level of Gandalf's positioning in the setting.

In the setting, Gandalf is also a legend.

But legend is actually a line. Once you cross the line, it’s over. It doesn’t mean that all the above are the same.

The number of people is too small so I won't break it down.

In fact, the gap between the top legend and the latest legend is greater than the gap between the latest legend and ordinary people.

Judging from the content in the setting, Gandalf is absolutely top-notch.

I just don't know what it means that in the setting, Gandalf's commonly used weapons include a long sword in addition to a staff.

Which serious wizard always carries a sword and slashes people?

Even if one practices both magic and martial arts, one should not wear a long robe.

Could it be that Gandalf and I share the same hobby...

After the passionate confrontation ended, Soran continued to browse the discussion area. Most of the content was not serious, until he suddenly saw one.

"Do you think this story hints at the war that was started by Loman?"

"Oh?"

Seeing this post, Soran's eyes lit up.

If you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense.

When I clicked on the post, I saw that the poster had carefully analyzed the metaphors in The Lord of the Rings.

The devil Sauron is alluding to Emperor Roman by using the demon army. It couldn't be more obvious.

Many of those who did not believe in Sauron's return were those who, when the war had just broken out, refused to believe that Loman's target was not just the princes and nobles of one or two countries.

If they had prepared earlier and participated in the attack on Roman in the early stages of the war, the war would not have developed into what it is now.

And the Lord of the Rings is a metaphor for the most advanced weapons. Whoever possesses more advanced weapons will have the advantage...

Soran read the post carefully.

The more I read, the more it makes sense.

The author chose this time to publish it, and it's hard not to think in that direction.

Soren agreed with most of the content of this post, except for the last point.

The Lord of the Rings is a metaphor for the most advanced weapons.

Soren thinks not.

He believed that the Ring was a power that was misused, rather than an advanced weapon itself.

There is nothing right or wrong about advanced weapons themselves. What is wrong is the wrong users and the way they use them.

That's why the Ring must be destroyed.

It's not about destroying weapons, it's about destroying mistakes.

Thinking of this, Soran suddenly got an inspiration.

Could the war started by Loman also be used in this way to destroy errors?

The most elite team to complete the most difficult tasks.

Soran touched his bald head and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed.

But where is Loman's "Volcano of Doom"? (End of this chapter)
