The Journey of the Demon Hunter

No one opposed Seaton's proposal. They won a big victory, but the war is far from over. The Harad army is still on the southern border, and ships in the port of Perakir can see the black pirate flag of Umbal. Sauron's defeat gave the coalition a huge advantage, but not all the enemies disappeared with Sauron.

"We are not dealing with a simple twisted monster." Gandalf seemed to remember something. "She is the last heir of the ancient evil spirit Angolian, born in the first era of ancient times. She is not loyal to anyone, just to satisfy her appetite. In the first era, she and her brothers and sisters All she does is to eat and make her body bigger. Just like her creator, she has infinite greed and desires to take everything to fill her emptiness. Perhaps as a child, her appetite is still Not to devour everything. According to legend, Angolion fled to the bottom of the Fear Mountain in Berrin, where a group of ugly creatures resembling spiders lived in the valley. Angolion mated with them and swallowed them. Later, After eating all the creatures, Ungorian migrated to the desert in the south. She became hungry to the extreme and eventually devoured herself. Shiluo may be one of the many heirs born by Ungorian at the bottom of the mountain of fear. Perhaps, Silo learned the lessons of her creator and fled to Mordor, instead of continuing east or south into the desert. It can be said that before Sauron came to Mordor in the Third Age, Silo was already there. Mordor hunts half-orcs, and passing humans and elves."

"In other words, we are going to face a monster that doesn't know how to live for thousands of years?" Iomo asked: "I want to know whether Rohan's lance and spear can hurt her! Next we I have to expedition to the depths of Mordor to clean up the remaining half-orcs. I am willing to bring a cavalry to kill all the enemies who dare to threaten the free people of the West."

"I know that here, I may be the person who has the least say, but I still hope that adults can listen to my suggestions." Bilbo said, raising his head and looking at other people: "Siluo... .It’s what you call cruel monsters. She helped us avoid half-orcs in Mordor. She provided us with food and water when we were most difficult, when we were hungry, and when we were exhausted. We provide shade and shelter. When we are at a loss, we point out a secret passage to the Doomsday Volcano. She has done all the help we can’t expect. I really don’t think she will become anyone’s enemy.”

"The situation of Mordor is very complicated, but we will not leave hidden dangers." Aragorn said: "The soldiers have gone through this battle, and everyone wants to go home. I will send envoys and Mordor to not loyal to Sauron. If they are willing to make peace, Gondor will give them peace. I will not let the soldiers’ lives die in vain.” He looked around: “Where is Zelin?”

"He said there are more important things to go to the Norn Inner Sea." Bilbo explained to Aragorn: "Maybe to meet acquaintances. I remember Shiluo once said that she knew Zelin. About thirty years ago. Earlier, when Zelin came to Shire to visit me, he told me about what he had fought in Mordor."

"I know, maybe there are more than five people familiar with Mordor than him." Aragorn took a deep breath and looked at the black and gray desert in the distance: "We are going to arrange for some soldiers to chase the enemy, and the rest. Return to Baicheng. Before May, we will camp in Udon and the injured need medical treatment. After three days, on May 1st, we will return."

As a result, the coalition forces quickly began operations in accordance with Aragon's orders. A part of the fast-moving Swan knights and Rohan Hussars set off to the east, chasing the escaped Orc tribe until the Mordor Desert in the east, and among the remaining coalition forces, a part of the elite Gondor infantry and dwarves marched north. , Attacking the fortresses and enemies entrenched in the mountains. The rest set up camp at the Black Gate to treat the wounded and count the losses.

Aragorn did not send soldiers to attack Sirius Angkor in the south, but only sent some soldiers to the plains outside of Noene to liberate the human slaves held there.

Siles Angkor, who was shrouded in shadow, has not seen any movement, and the attack that the soldiers feared also did not appear.

Chapter 2543: The End of the Era

"I don't understand, why don't you allow me to **** the ring from her hand?"

Gnaiya put her hands behind her head and followed Zelin on the rugged mountain road. There are scattered boulders everywhere. The Evil Black Tower collapsed and left an indelible mark on the Gogolos Plain. The hills where the tower was built were also destroyed in that explosion. A deep depression was exploded from the top, like a biological crack. The egg came out of the shell, but there was nothing left except dust on it.

"Don't you think there has been enough fighting here? I can reach an agreement with her so that there is no need to continue fighting." Zelin walked ahead, along the path that was not completely buried by the rocks, towards the evil black tower. Going up the ruins: "She wants to take the ring, just because she is worried that the coalition will continue to attack Mordor and destroy her after destroying Sauron. So all she wants is a security guarantee."

Zelin didn't know whether Shiluo really wanted to leave the ring, or hoped to get some kind of concessions and guarantees from the coalition forces.

Shiluo is always planning some conspiracy to her advantage, but no one knows whether such conspiracy will harm others.

"Yeah, if she is prepared, she will probably use the power of the ring to escape? I remember Bilbo once told me that the Lord of the Rings can help him hide. Oh, I also want to experience this kind of invisible at any time Feel like." Gnaiya yawned: "At the moment she appeared, I should attack directly. Kill her and take the ring over and destroy it. Now we can leave. In this way, we don’t need to. Be cautious as you are now, for fear that she will run away."

Frid stayed in Shiluo's lair and watched her with Lisa Riel. Although Lisa Riel could not wait to go back and spend time with her mother and her people, she didn't mind helping Zelin once here, and left herself some time to digest the news she had received. She has been isolated from the world for so long and knows nothing about the changes in the world.

"I think you have to control your temper, Gnaiya." Zelin looked back at the Dragonborn: "You are too irritable sometimes."

Gneia hesitated for a while before sighing: "We have not been close to each other for many months, Zelin, don't you think so? We have been in Middle-earth for so long, when can we go back? After the task was completed, I began to miss the days when I could sit in the familiar castle peacefully, drink beer without doing anything, and fall asleep."

"Soon, Gnaiya, I only need to determine one thing." Zelin raised his hand and motioned to the Dragonborn to wait: "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

After all, Zelin walked upward along the **** under the hills of the Evil Black Tower. He had been here once, but that time, didn't he as a victor, but as a fugitive, trying to escape from Mordor.

There was a crack at the top of the ruins, like a force bursting from the inside of the hill, splitting the hill and spreading it all around, but the strength was insufficient, and it finally failed to crush the hill. Standing on the edge of a crack, there was only charred mud in the crack more than ten meters high in front of him. Zelin looked at the ruins remaining after the collapsed tower, and stretched out his hand.

\"If you are still alive, come out.\"

As soon as the voice fell, a pale white light appeared among the pitch-black ruins. The light fell on the hills in front of Zelin, slowly drawing out the appearance of an old elf.

"Sauron failed." Celebrity moved his shoulders and looked at Zelin blankly: "He can't trap me anymore."

"You made a serious mistake back then." Zelin said: "You almost became the second Sauron back then and destroyed Mordor and everything outside."

"I want revenge." Kellebripon's voice was tired and old: "When Sauron came to my town with the secret of forging the ring of strength in the form of a human, all this was doomed. I thought. I have mastered the Supreme Lord of the Rings. I thought that when Sauron betrayed the elven craftsman, the three Elf Rings he had never touched were not contaminated by him, so as long as he forged the Ring of Power alone, the new Lord of the Rings would be like elves. Like the Three Precepts, it has become a weapon against Sauron."

"You forged it at the Doomsday Volcano, Celebrity, you forged a new ring at the core of Sauron's power, how can it escape Sauron's influence?" Zelin shook his head gently: "But I ask you, if Sauron disappears, can the remaining Ring of Power be like the Three Rings of the Elves, to avoid being contaminated?"

Celebrity was silent for a few seconds: "I understand what you mean. That's why I still stay here. Dark pollution will not be cleared so easily. The Ring of Power is not such a simple item, spirits. The Three Rings can't resist Sauron's power, which is why Sauron wants to get the ring, because he finds the Elf Three Rings, and he can make the ring as evil and dangerous as the ring of power in the hands of the ring spirit. Sauron gives His forging method allows his pollution to easily enter any ring forged by the same method, which is why the Supreme Lord Ring can dominate other rings."

"In other words, it must be destroyed?" Zelin confirmed again: "Including the destruction of your soul?"

"I should have left this land long ago and go where I should go." Celebrity's soul dropped his shoulders: "Don't leave any ring contaminated by Sauron, otherwise the ring will follow Sauron's wishes. , Distort the wearer’s thinking."

Zelin pondered for a few seconds: "But now, Sauron is dead. Celebrity, do you think I can get a ring without any pollution? Just like the ring in the hands of Queen Galadriel and Gandalf That way, it will not affect the wearer, but will only provide the power of the ring?"

Celebrity laughed lowly.

"Sauron is the source of the power of the Lord of the Rings. When Sauron is destroyed, the three elves that are not contaminated will also lose their power. When we discovered Sauron's betrayal, we immediately removed the three rings from our hands. And figured out a way to destroy them. Later, when I realized that I couldn’t do it, I gave the ring to Gil-Galard and Galadriel separately, hoping that their power could protect the ring from falling into Sauron’s hands. Now, There will be no Lord of the Rings in this world, except for the newest one I forged. Destroy it. Sauron’s incarnation once told me that the Lord of the Rings can protect the things in the middle earth and avoid the invasion of time. Will die due to aging, just like the land of the gods. Perhaps it is a mistake to use magic to forcibly prevent the death of life, and Sauron just used our nostalgia for the land of the gods. Those three rings lose their power. Later, I think that the beautiful forest of Lothlorien and the valley of Rivendell will also become deserted. I can tell you the knowledge of forging, but power? You will only get a beautiful ordinary ring. Give it up. The era of elves has long been over, and there will be no more magic rings."

By the time Zelin left the ruins of the Evil Black Tower, it was already afternoon.

The dark clouds of Mordor dissipated completely on the second day after Sauron's defeat, and the sun shone on the volcanic ash-covered land without any hindrance. The Doomsday Volcano was completely silent, and there was no sign of eruption.

Gnaiya stood by a scorched rock, yawning.

"Gnaiya."

"Huh?" Longyi opened her eyes and saw Zelin approaching. She stood up straight: "It's over? Are you looking for treasures in the ruins?"

"How come." Zelin chuckled lightly: "There are only ruins here."

Gneia stretched out a finger to point to Zelin, and looked at him with slanted eyes: "Really? If you go hunting for treasure, you can't hide it from me."

"Of course not, on the contrary, I will notify you as soon as possible." As he said, Zelin took out a notebook and threw it at Gnaiya. The Dragonborn stretched out his hand and caught it in mid-air: "This is for you."

"What is this?"

Gnaiya opened the book curiously: "This is..."

"Forge the knowledge of a beautiful ring." Zelin shrugged: "Maybe you will like it."

Gneia glanced at it and closed her notebook again: "I'm not a jeweler..." But she laughed: "Well, I accept it. I'll take a closer look when I go back. , What are these things. Speaking of it, it seems that I haven't given you a gift for a long time. Wait, I will give you a better ring, and find a best enchanter to help you enchant it."

"There is no need to enchant, the things you make are much better than magic items." Zelin said casually.

Gnaiya's smile grew stronger, but she still snorted.

"When you see Virginia, when she is about to give you enchanted items, don't let me hear you, praise her for better enchanted items than my forge!"

Zelin just smiled, but he didn't answer.

"Let's go, let's go to Sirius Ang, it's time to put an end to this."

"How are you going to deal with that big spider?" Gneia followed Zelin closely: "Should we discuss a plan, or some kind of code in advance? For example, what vocabulary you say, I'm ready to do it. I'm very Those who are good at assaults, when my father taught me hunting skills in Cyrodir, he often asked me to practice how to suddenly attack and kill him before the prey reacted."

"There is no need to fight yet. I actually just want to ask her a question." Zelin shook his head. He raised his eyes and looked at the mountains in the distance. The calmness of Mordor made people involuntarily act. This was in a dream. .

"What's the problem?" Gnaiya opened her hands: "Are you willing to surrender peacefully?"

"No." Zelin stretched out a finger: "I really want to know, if she eats water ghosts, will her stomach hurt like a troll?"

Chapter 2544: White City Celebration

The whole city of Gondor was in fear and doubt, and the clear sky seemed only to mock the desperate people. The returning human emperor led a powerful army that has never been seen before, launching a general attack on the dark demon's lair. No matter how numb people are, they can realize that this may be the last battle between humans and the Dark Lord. Every day, you can see people praying in the city, or ascend to the city wall and the highest level of the city, and look into the distance, hoping to see the triumphant army or the Mordor army coming again.

But this anxiety did not last long.

When the Evil Black Tower collapsed, the generals and lords of Aragorn sent all messengers who could run, riding the best steeds in the army to various places, and conveying the news of the victory of the coalition to the world.
