All Gods: I Became a God by Loading Templates

He turned to Bard and yelled, "Close your eyes! I'm about to show off!"

Just as Lin Bei was mobilizing energy within his body.

A dark figure darted out of the woods with incredible speed.

Lin Bei was taken aback for a moment.

'Isn't that Magneto?!'

He was tall, over two meters high, with a long, white beard, wearing a gray-black robe and a traditional wizard's pointed hat.

At this moment, he seemed to be possessed by Usain Bolt, his movements incredibly agile.

He gripped a staff tightly with both hands.

In the blink of an eye, they caught up with Bajie Ling's horse.

He raised his staff high and slammed it into the ground.

"Dang~"

It was as if the ground was not soft soil, but hard steel.

A burst of white light suddenly erupted, especially at the top of the wooden staff, like a flashbang with the intensity of tens of millions of candrades. This was not just a physical phenomenon; it was enhanced by magic and lasted for several seconds.

The nine Ringwraiths that were illuminated seemed to have suffered great damage; their black robes seemed to melt away, revealing their armor emitting white smoke, and a shadowy mass of withered corpses resided within the black armor.

Unable to withstand the onslaught, the nine Ringwraiths vanished from their spot and disappeared into the Shadowlands.

Lin Bei blinked unhappily. The light emitted by Gandalf's Illumination spell was even more powerful than the light emitted by his Divine Shield spell in its normal state.

"hu~hu~"

"Thank goodness I made it in time!" Gandalf wiped the fine sweat from his forehead and adjusted his hat.

"Bang~"

The campfire, which had been extinguished, suddenly burst into flames.

By the light of the fire, Gandalf finally saw clearly what he was looking for.

He had short black hair, handsome and gentle features, and a slightly exotic look.

'He's the one who can destroy Sauron? So young!'

'Since the boss has spoken, I have no choice but to obey.'

'But this young man's eyes seem to say he wants to beat me up?'

'What happened? I saved you!'

"That's true. Being wary of strangers is also a good quality."

Thinking of this, Gandalf smiled kindly and said, "Hello, young man, I am Maiar, who was entrusted by Vera to help you."

Just call me Gandalf.

The people you just encountered were subordinates of Sauron, one of the demon leaders. I'm sure you've heard their legends..."

Lin Bei stared at Gandalf with hostility. "The Ringwraiths! They are also known as the Nine Black Riders."

Only two are noteworthy: Khammur and the Witch-King of Angmar.

"???" Gandalf blinked.

Lin Bei persisted, "What are you trying to do by acting cute? Don't think you can fool me like this. I'm not into that kind of thing!"

You old rascal, you're wicked!

Don't think you can steal my monsters just because you're an old man!

Gandalf was a little confused by Lin Bei's words, but he could still understand the general meaning: "Young man, I did all that to save you."

"They are Sauron's minions, undead monsters corrupted by the Ring of Power!"

As far as I know, no power can kill them; all I can do is injure them, thus driving them away.

Lin Bei's displeasure subsided slightly, and he said irritably, "Alright!"

"Tell me, why did Hylia send you to see me?"

Upon hearing the name of one of his superiors, Gandalf was certain that the young man before him was the hero capable of defeating Sauron.

“To completely destroy Sauron,” Gandalf quickly explained, “Sauron, the mighty corrupted Maiar, was born before this world was created.”

Although he is now only a remnant of his soul, if he obtains the One Ring he forged, he will surely return…

Lin Bei waved his hand, directly interrupting Gandalf, the one who issued the main quest.

"Alright, isn't it just about finding the One Ring and then throwing it into Mount Doom to completely destroy it?"

At the same time, we also have to be careful that Sauron doesn't get the One Ring, right?

"Uh..." Gandalf smacked his lips dryly, feeling a bit frustrated that his lines had been stolen. "Yeah~ that's right."

"The most urgent task is..."

"The most urgent thing is to find the One Ring, right? And your guess is that Hyria will give me a way to find the One Ring, is that right or wrong?" Lin Bei looked at Gandalf with an expression that said, "This is all just a game gimmick."

"Uh..." Helplessly having his lines stolen again, Gandalf could only shut his mouth and nod vigorously.

"But unfortunately," Lin Bei said, shrugging, "that guy Hylia didn't give me a method."

Gandalf exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible!"

Lin Bei pressed his hand down and said, "Calm down~"

I never said I didn't know the whereabouts of the One Ring.

"Where?" Gandalf asked anxiously.

Lin Bei glanced at Gandalf, "We can't say that. What if those Ringwraiths are hiding in the Shadowlands eavesdropping on our conversation!"

"I see~" Gandalf thought for a moment, this reason was acceptable, "Then we'll now..."

Gandalf glanced at the messy makeshift camp and changed his mind, saying, "Uh... shall we set off first thing tomorrow morning?"

Lin Bei nodded. "So you're going to travel with us?"

"Otherwise what?" Gandalf asked, somewhat speechless, thinking to himself: I'm here to assist you and protect you, aren't I? Where else can we go if we don't go with you?

Lin Bei grinned mischievously and said, "Alright! Go help tidy up the camp first!"

As a Maya, you should be able to handle this kind of work, right?

Upon hearing this, Gandalf slumped down, as if finally overexerting himself, rubbing his lower back and massaging his back, saying, "My old arms and legs, oh my!"

I hurt my back from running too fast.

No, I have to go there first!

Bard wiped away his tears, his vision gradually returning as he stared speechlessly at Lin Bei and Gandalf.

I'm only temporarily blind, not completely blind.

but!

One of them is his own sugar daddy.

One of them was an elderly man who looked very old, and he was lying directly on the ground.

'What kind of mess is this?!'

Chapter 112 Becoming the Dragon King Starting Today

Early the next morning.

The group continued their journey.

The only difference was that the team included Gandalf, the famous grey wizard.

According to Badler's assessment, having one more wizard would still be enough to defeat the legendary Nine Black Riders.

The safety level was at its highest during the journey.

However, Bard still had some worries. Although he knew that the legendary Nazgul was not targeting him, but Lin Bei, it did not mean he was safe.

We can only speed up our pace.

Bring Lin Bei to the gates of the kingdom at the foot of the mountain as soon as possible.

They even had a quick lunch before setting off immediately.

Finally, bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the group arrived near the valley between the two massive ridges of Lonely Mountain.

Bard looked relaxed and pointed to the end of the valley between the two branches, saying, "That's the gate to Ereborg!"

My ancestors were once invited to enter the kingdom at the foot of Lonely Mountain.

Lin Bei also looked around and saw the rushing river water gushing out from a tall stone archway, turning into a waterfall that leaped down into the valley.

It was another long journey.

The sound of rushing water filled my ears.

Behind the gates of Ereb, a wide stone-paved road runs along the inner side of the rushing river, extending into the darkness along the winding river.

Gandalf, leaning on his staff, was a melee mage. Although his stamina far surpassed that of a typical mortal knight, he couldn't keep up with the pace of the journey.

He gasped for breath, "Isn't this the kingdom at the foot of the mountain that Smaug has taken over?"

Could the One Ring be inside?

Lin Bei glanced at Gandalf without saying a word, then turned to Bard, who was barely holding on and hadn't sat down, and said, "Your mission is complete."

You can stay outside from now on.

Bard looked up at Lin Bei, still feeling somewhat apologetic, and said, "Are you sure you don't need me to go in with you?"

As he spoke, he drew his family's heirloom black arrow from his quiver.

"No need!" Lin Bei waved his hand and said, "I can handle Smaug, and if you go in, you'll just be an extra meal for Smaug, and it might even help you recover your strength."

"You just stay here quietly. With Gandalf with you, you don't need to worry about any foolish monsters attacking you."

Bard nodded, watching Lin Bei walk through the gates of Ereborg, pass through the massive dwarven stone sculptures, and disappear into the darkness.
