The Journey of the Demon Hunter

Altariel showed a clear look: "I understand your plan. Well, Talion also chose to use orcs to fight orcs."

"So..."

"So you can't leave my sight." The elf ranger said lightly.

"You are not my wife, and you have no other relationship. Why should you keep watching me? How much do I have to do to prove that the ring has nothing to do with me?"

"I will keep staring at you." The ranger said blankly. "This is my duty. When you are affected, those women are unreliable."

"Aren't you going to deliver the letter?" Zelin coughed heavily: "The elves of Lothlorien may not know anything about what their southern neighbors have encountered."

"I believe you won't stay here for too long."

The elves are indifferent and impersonal.

"Well, since you think so, I have no opinion." Zelin lowered his shoulders: "But don't hinder me. Sometimes I may need to act alone. But you can rest assured that I will not leave here."

Since the king is unwilling to summon him, perhaps he should change his way. The scale of the Golden Palace is small, and the number of guards inside it is not large. Before coming to Rohan, Zelin had heard Gandalf say that the kings of Rohan were all excellent warriors and riders, he did not need many guards, and the Rohan people did not like luxurious construction and decoration.

He has challenged more difficult places, and the Golden Palace is more like the Dragon's Heaven Palace in Skyrim Snow Man in his eyes.

"His Royal Highness, can you tell me who Grima is?" Zelin asked Eowyn, "I'm very curious, who is this courtier and what ability he has to make His Majesty the King believe in him so much."

"He was the chief adviser of your majesty." A faint flashed in Eowyn's eyes: "he was never known for his merits and personal reputation on the battlefield. I don't know why his majesty appointed him as the chief adviser, but he .......He is there."

Suddenly, Eowyn's gaze crossed Zelin's shoulder. She raised her finger and pointed behind the demon hunter. Zelin turned around and looked in the direction of Eowyn's fingers.

Behind the wooden pillars at the corner of the Golden Temple, when Zelin looked away, a pale man wearing a black robe was turning and leaving, disappearing behind the palace wall in the blink of an eye.

The 2421th chapter sneaks into Luohan

As the chief adviser of King Hiurdon, Grima lives in the side room of the Golden Temple. Like the Longxiao Palace that Zelin had seen, the king and his relatives had separate housing spaces, and on both sides of the throne hall were the guards’ wing and courtier’s residences. This is a bit troublesome for Ze Lin, after all, there is no separate courtyard, which means that he may have to find a way to break into the Golden Palace.

"I have a plan now."

With his hands resting on the table, Zelin whispered. Altarel stood on the other side of the table, listening carefully to the thoughts of the man in front of him.

"According to Princess Iowen, every time someone comes to Edoras to meet King Hiurdon, Grima will stay with the King and give him advice. Considering this matter, I may not know it. His Majesty the King himself cannot meet the guests, but Grima does not want King Hiurdon to see other people."

Zelin's fingers gestured on the table: "This afternoon, I observed the palace on the stairs below the Golden Temple. Behind the gate should be a rectangular and spacious space, where it should be the campfire hall. Behind the campfire hall The building and it are combined in a T shape. In the evening, I saw a guard on the left coming out of it, and interchanging with the guard in front of the palace, that is to say, the guard wing may be on the left, and the courtier, that is to say Grima’s room should be on the right."

The elf ranger narrowed his eyes slightly: "What are you going to do to him?"

"Of course it is to figure out what he is doing." Zelin opened his hand and patted on the table: "I originally thought that this may be just a courtier who is too greedy for power but has no ability. But now? Even if it is. A fool should also know that his power comes from the king’s trust. If the king announces to expel him, he will lose everything. Saruman is obviously kind enough to allow the conquered regions to autonomy and appoint a human as his minister. Unless... they contact in advance, Rohan is defeated by Saruman, someone can not only keep his current position, but also get more benefits."

Altarel was holding an arrow in one hand, and the index finger of the other hand rubbed the arrow. A dangerous light flashed in his eyes: "You suspect, this courtier named Grima and Saruman Collusion with each other?"

"Everything I have seen so far, Grima has done to help Saruman on the side." Zelin stretched out two fingers: "According to my understanding, and what I can reach, usually There are two types of people. One is to search for wealth and seize power, which will inevitably cause internal friction and indirectly help the enemy in the process. The other is to cooperate with the enemy inside and outside, and want to conquer this land before the enemy. Later, I played for a more generous and powerful master. Based on the situation, I think Grima is more like the latter."

"You need proof." The elf said, "Let the humans here believe you."

"Yes, I just wanted to find evidence today." Zelin coughed lightly. They stayed at the place where King Rohan entertained guests, but it seemed that they hadn’t been used for a while. There was no charcoal in the campfire, and there was a layer of dust before being swept away by the servants: “You must get evidence to convince them, otherwise I’m just It's just soliciting discord. It is not a simple matter to accuse the king's chief adviser."

"What do I need to do?"

"Go and ask for an audience." Zelin said, "You are an elf from Lothlorien. You can claim news from Lothlorien and report it to King Theodon."

"But not actually." Altarel frowned. "What does this mean?"

"I know no, but for us this can be."

"Pretending to be a messenger from Ms. Galadriel, if this is a joke, then this is the worst idea I've ever heard this year." Altarel raised his hands: "This affects more than just my credibility. "

"This is not a normal time, Altaril. Now we all need to do something. If Saruman can be stopped, no one will blame this deception. What's more, you do have something to say. If Hidden Wang Zhao sees you, you can tell him about Saruman’s betrayal." Zelin made a calm gesture: "Even if we are not here, I think Ms. Galadriel or someone else will come and tell sooner or later. King Hiurdon, the Western ally he has always trusted turned to Sauron."

Alta Reall looked up and down the Demon Hunter: "...I decided to listen to your next plan first."

"The next thing is very simple." Zelin spread his hands: "Grimmah will go to the throne and accompany King Haydn. 80% of the time he wants to tell the king not to meet you, but he will definitely leave the room at that time. I can go in and search for evidence to prove Grima's betrayal. I think the people here are all correspondence, right?"

"Do you think he would be stupid enough to leave Saruman's letter, waiting to be found by you as evidence?" Altariel asked rhetorically, "If he was stupid, Siud and Iomo would have already He drove out of the Golden Temple."

"That's the problem, Altariel." Zelin shook his head: "Sometimes I really wonder, if it's just an ordinary human, how could it be possible to confuse a warrior king with words for so long? Sometimes I do. I really want to rush in directly, but I know that some things cannot be solved by swords."

"When are you going to do it?"

"When I send the letter back, it will probably be tomorrow."

"What? Sending a letter?"

This time, it was the Elf Ranger's turn to be surprised.

"Of course, if you agree to deliver the letter during the day time today, we can start acting now." Zelin leaned forward and deliberately lowered his voice: "Grimar saw me today. In the early morning, I went to see me. King, I think he already knows that I am from the mouth of the Eisen River, and there is news from Prince Siyod. I want to report it without letting him find out, so let him think that I am still in Edoras. In the swordsmanship duel, the posture is impeccable, but as long as you move, the flaws will appear. There will be no moon tonight, and we will leave in the middle of the night and return at dawn."

Even if King Hiurdon was unable to assist the battle at the mouth of the Eisen due to Grima, there was another army stationed north of Rohan. If Altariel is willing to help, the Demon Hunter can save a lot of trouble. It's a pity that the elf ranger is unwilling to accept any commission to transfer her away from Zelin.

At this time, Zelin couldn't help thinking, if he could bring another person, such as Frid, it would be great.

But soon he threw away this idea himself. Griffon could not support three people, even if the body of the elf was as light as a leaf, the back of the griffon could not sit on three people. If he hadn't reached the mouth of the Eisen at that time, he couldn't imagine what would happen in that war. In terms of military strength, Xiyoud's troops are not as good as Saruman's main force. This is why Zelin insists on persuading Xiyoud to retreat and at least build a defensive camp.

Backed by the Misty Mountains, the orcs recover very quickly, and it may not be long before Saruman will only be able to kill Isinger with a new army.

"Can the light that Ms. Galadriel gave you still come in handy now?"

Zelin asked suddenly: "I remember in Mordor, you used it to dispel evil."

"My light used to be very dim, after the failure of the Evil Black Tower." Alta Reall looked at his new palm: "But the lady forgave me and gave me a new opportunity. Why do you want to ask this one? Matter? There are no orcs and no ring spirits here."

"Who knows, maybe there will be some other things." Zelin shrugged: "Of course, I hope this method will never be used. Let's go, pay attention to the neighborhood, don't let anyone see us. Yours The eyes can see in the dark, right?"

"Can't you also?"

"If someone can do it, I don't need to waste energy paying attention to these things." Before Altarel said something, Zelin said, "Go, we have no time to waste."

Chapter 2422: Lothlorien

Lothlorien Forest.

When the Dragonborn and the Chief Mage stood on the hill and looked out over the lush woodland by the river, it was already afternoon.

"That is our destination, isn't it?" Longyi put down the hand shed in front of him: "Mage, you have been here before, did we go wrong?"

"Unless I faint." Virginia's face was not very good, and she covered her belly with one hand: "The eight holy spirits are up, I can't wait to try some warm food. We are already How many days have you been on the road without making a fire? Four days, five days?"

"It's not because of those weird orcs. I remember you said that orcs don't like to hang out during the day?" Dragonborn took the sword back into the scabbard, with two swords hanging around her waist and a shield behind her back: "As a result, these God, those orcs attacked us during the day, and then another group of significantly weaker attacked at night."

"It's already here. How long will you take that rag with you." Virginia looked at Gnaiya's waist, and under the sword hung a red rag, stained with dirt and blood. , But you can vaguely see the white palm print on it: "It’s useless to keep it. Don’t you think the spoils can scare the orcs away? I don’t know what’s going on in Nord, but in Cyrodir, the Imperial Legion Snatching of the flag will only cause more fighting and revenge."

"That's why I have to carry it even more at this time."
