Start with Lord of the Rings

Chapter 176 Big shot, fierce battle!
The night outside the window was getting darker.

The moment Morgan turned off the lights, the entire Bag End was plunged into darkness.

Morgan quickly approached the low window, and looked out carefully from the window.

Gandalf frowned and let go of the hobbit Sam in front of him, signaling him to keep silent.

Frodo looked nervously at what he saw.

Although I have heard some stories about adventures from Uncle Bilbo before.

But everything tonight, especially the horror of the Supreme Lord of the Rings picked up by Gandalf, has broken his understanding of the world.

As for Samwise Gamm Guitar, it was a pure accident.

He had only come to play with Frodo.

After all, it was Bilbo's birthday party tonight.

Who knew that when he was about to surprise Frodo outside the window, he heard something strange.

Moreover, he was addicted to listening, and kept listening without making a sound.

Then, because he squatted under the window for too long, his feet became numb and made a little noise, and he was caught by the human being.

For the tall human there is the wizard Gandalf.

The hobbits all over Hobbiton were a little afraid.

Everyone in Hobbiton knew that they were both Bilbo's adventure companions, and they would visit Bilbo every once in a while.

However, some of the older hobbits remembered it well.

60 years ago, that man and wizard appeared in Hobbiton.

At that time, the humans and wizards looked like they are now.

Now 60 years have passed.

These humans and wizards are still the same as before, and they haven't aged at all.

How can this not surprise and fear the hobbits in Hobbiton.

Therefore, in the rumors of other Hobbitons, these two became existences with terrifying abilities.

Also because of the arrival of these two.

Even the relatives who had a gap with Bilbo, the "Seckville Baggins family", dared not approach Bilbo to ask for the inheritance of the house with such a good opportunity these days.

Sam didn't know either of them well, and all he knew was what he'd learned from listening to the other grown-ups gossip in the tavern.

Now looking at the appearance of these two enemies, Sam was extremely nervous.

"bang bang bang"

The sound of hooves from far to near.

It is especially clear in such a silent night.

Only gradually, as the sound of horseshoes approached, the people in Bag End heard another sound, the rolling sound of wheels.

Such a discovery made Morgan by the window slightly relieved.

Not long after, he saw a small carriage drawn by two horses driving towards Bag End at a constant speed on the road outside the window.

The sound of hooves and wheels grew louder.

Soon, the small carriage drove through the Bag End hole and headed towards the road ahead.

Morgan watched the back of the carriage go all the way, and then slowly released his hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Frodo, light the lamp."

Morgan withdrew his gaze and said casually.

Frodo hurried up to the long table at once, and lighted the two candelabra lamps.

Watching the dark bag bottom hole come back to light.

The hobbits, Frodo and Sam, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although it was a false alarm.

But no one would think that Morgan is making a fuss over a molehill.

Frodo was startled by what Gandalf had said earlier.

Sam was still nervous, he didn't know how these people would punish him for eavesdropping.

Gandalf finally confirmed that the ring was the Lord of the Rings before.

The vigilance has long been raised to the highest level.

The Supreme Lord of the Rings cannot afford to be surprised.

What he was happiest at this time was that Morgan was by his side at this time.

Because of the strong strength and completely trustworthy ability that Morgan has always shown.

But not only did Bilbo feel safe seeing Morgan, but it also made Gandalf feel safe.

He is going to Isinger (Isengard) next to seek help from the white-robed wizard Saruman, the chairman of the Holy White Council.

Although he didn't like Saruman very much all the time, no, he couldn't use the word like, it would be more appropriate to use unwilling.

Yes, Gandalf has always been reluctant to work with the white wizard Saruman.

However, since the One Ring has been discovered.

Regardless of whether Gandalf likes Saruman or not, such a major event must be reported to the head wizard of the Holy White Council.

I believe that with Saruman's ability and wisdom, he will give the best solution.

Gandalf is leaving, and his old friend Morgan is naturally the best candidate to protect Frodo.

But before that.

He had to deal with the little hobbit who had overheard important news.

Gandalf glanced at Morgan, and saw that Morgan shook his head slightly to indicate that it was all right.

He immediately walked in front of Sam, with a gloomy face, and said in a deep voice, "Samwise Gamgee, have you been eavesdropping just now?"

"I wasn't eavesdropping, I was just weeding, I swear."

Seeing the angry and extremely tall wizard Sam, the thing he was most worried about finally happened, he looked shocked and quickly said the best explanation he could think of.

"Is anyone weeding so late?"

"Or are you trying to lie to me and say, what the hell did you hear?"

Gandalf looked at the little hobbit in front of him with an extremely "angry" expression and said angrily.

"I heard some, but I really didn't eavesdrop"

The wizard was getting more and more angry in front of him, Sam shivered and immediately admitted.

"Say, what did you hear?"

"I heard the Lord of the Rings, and Sauron, and the end of the world."

"I really didn't want to eavesdrop"

"Please Lord Gandalf, don't hurt me, don't turn me into a sheep or a pig or something."

"Hmph, you did wake me up."

"I won't turn you into a pig and sheep, but you have a greater use"

Gandalf looked at the little hobbit in front of him and spoke gloomily.

Sam was so scared that he didn't dare to refuse, so he could only agree.

back to the table.

The four people sitting around the long table had a heavy atmosphere.

Gandalf was still continuing the unfinished message for Frodokop.

When Gandalf's voice fell.

Frodo looked ugly and immediately pushed the ring in front of Gandalf in front of him. Gandalf was frightened and quickly backed away and shook his head.

"Then Uncle Morgan, you take it."

Seeing Gandalf dodging, Frodo immediately put the One Ring in front of Morgan.

Morgan drew back at once, too, and said, "It's not that we don't want to take it, Frodo."

"It's that neither I nor Gandalf can take this Lord of the Rings, and I dare not take it."

"Because once we take it, the Lord of the Rings will radiate unimaginably powerful evil power through us."

"So, only you, and only you, can hold this ring."

Morgan looked at Frodo and spoke in a low voice.

This made Frodo's face even more ugly, and he said at once: "The evil that Gandalf said will soon come after us, so don't we have to leave here?"

"Yes, we must leave, and the sooner the better."

Gandalf nodded and said, then got up and looked at the three of them and said, "You go now."

"Morgan, take them to Bree first, and wait for me at the Prancing Horse Inn."

"I need to get away."

Gandalf turned and prepared to go.

Morgan frowned immediately when he heard this, and immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

Gandalf turned his head, looked at Morgan and said quickly: "I need to go to Isengard to find the wizard leader, and he will tell us what to do."

"The head wizard is the white robe wizard Saruman?"

As soon as Gandalf said the name, Morgan asked aloud.

He had heard Gandalf mention the name before, so it would not be awkward to ask.

"Yes, you may not know much about him, but with the wisdom and strength of the wizard leader, he will tell us how to deal with the One Ring."

Gandalf nodded.

The picture in the memory plot immediately appeared in Morgan's mind.

That is, Gandalf went to Essinger to find Saruman, and he would be defeated and imprisoned by Saruman.

Because at this time Saruman had already rebelled.

But even though Morgan knew that Saruman had betrayed, he couldn't say anything more.

Because he couldn't come up with a reason.

Saruman's identity is not ordinary: first of all, like Gandalf, his real identity is Maier descending to earth, and he is also the white-robed wizard who is the first of the five descending Maier wizards;

Take control of Isinger (Isengard), the most powerful council in the entire Middle-earth world, the president of the Holy White Council (White Council).

Members of the Holy White Council: Elven Queen Galadriel; Rivendell Elf Lord Eldron; White Robe Wizard Saruman; Gray Robe Wizard Gandalf; Brown Robe Wizard Redagast; Lord of the Gray Harbor Kil Dan;

The above members are some of the more obvious identities on the surface.

But the members of the Holy White Council are more than these, and some are other elf lords.

From these, we can see the strength of the Holy White Council.

Saruman's ability to become the chairman of such a powerful council shows his extraordinary strength and ability.

There is no definitive evidence.

Morgan would not be so stupid as to slander Saruman.

But it's not all bad for Gandalf to go to Isengard, at least he knows Saruman's betrayal.

And at most he was beaten up by Saruman like in the plot, nothing serious.

Thinking of this, Morgan looked at Gandalf and nodded, "Alright then."

"I'll take them to the Prancing Horse Inn in Bree. Be careful yourself."

"By the way, do we really need to take him with us?"

Morgan said suddenly looking at Sam who was concentrating on the food.

Hearing Morgan's words, Sam almost jumped up in fright.

"After knowing the important news, if it's useless, it will be killed by silence. It's written like this in the book."

"Isn't that what the person in front of you now means?"

Sam was frightened, stood up quickly before anyone else could speak, looked at Morgan nervously and said: "Master Morgan, take me, I am very useful, I can cook, I am very strong, I can carry things, I can "

"I still have a lot of things, please don't abandon me!"

Sam's nervous and incoherent voice immediately made several people laugh.

"Since Sam is so useful, take him with you."

"I'm going first, see you at the Prancing Horse Hotel."

Gandalf said something with a smile, then turned and walked quickly to the gate.

After hearing the creaking sound of the door, Gandalf's movement quickly disappeared.

Inside the bag bottom hole.

Morgan picked up the wine glass on the dining table, drank the fruit wine in the glass, looked at the two little hobbits in front of him and said, "Are you full? When you are full, prepare to pack your things. Let's go overnight."

"I'm full, I'm full."

As Sam said, he immediately turned around and was about to leave.

Morgan quickly grabbed him and asked in a cold voice, "Where do you want to go?"

Sam was obviously a little afraid of Morgan, a human being who would never grow old in the eyes of other people in Hobbiton, and said quickly, "I'll go back and pack my things."

"No, I don't have that much time for you."

"Here you pack, Frodo, and he has two of your clothes."

"Anyway, your height and body shape are not much different."

When Morgan said this, Sam didn't dare to resist, so he nodded quickly.

Frodo suppressed a laugh, knowing that Uncle Morgan was obviously trying to frighten Sam, so he said, "Come with me, Sam."

The hobbits went to pack up.

Morgan walked to the dining table and poured himself a full glass of fruit wine again.

Then he got up and went to Bilbo's food store.

Another long and arduous journey followed.

The food that Morgan had stored up when he left the Woodland Kingdom was exhausted after three or four months of travel, and there was not much left.

At this time, it is necessary to supplement it.

When I came to the food storage room, I looked at the little food left in front of me.

Morgan sighed.

Apparently the birthday party tonight had nearly emptied Bilbo's food stores.

With just a wave of his hand, a few plates of pastries and sausages, and the cheese grade immediately disappeared on the storage shelf.

After quickly sweeping through the food in the storage room, Morgan walked to the long table.

Waved again, and the two large plates of fruit on the long table disappeared instantly.

At this time, Sam, who had already packed up, came out of the inner room and saw Morgan collecting the food, his eyes widened and he couldn't speak.

"What's the matter Sam?"

At this time, Frodo came from behind with a backpack on his back, and asked Sam looking strangely.

"I-I-I saw Uncle Morgan working his magic"

Sam stammered, pointing at Morgan.

Morgan said without looking back: "Have you two packed up yet?"

"Soon," said Frodo at once.

at this time.

A chaotic sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside the window.

Morgan's complexion changed.

He walked quickly to the window and looked out.

Then, on the dark road in the distance in front of Bag End, tall, dark figures on horses were galloping towards Bag End.

Morgan's eyes widened, and when he realized something, he turned his head and yelled at the two hobbits behind him: "Don't worry about anything!"

"Go now, go now!"

Morgan drank heavily and immediately picked up the bench beside him and slammed it on the window.

"boom"

The Bag End window was immediately smashed wide open.

"quick!"

Morgan yelled at the hobbits before Frodo and Sam realized it.

Immediately rushed over and jumped out of the window.

Morgan immediately followed out the window.

“Uncle Morgan, where are we going now?”

asked Frodo, looking extremely nervous.

"To Bree, and follow."

Morgan just glanced at the black knights who were getting closer behind him, and immediately turned around and ran in another direction.

Frodo and Sam followed at once.

The movement of Bag End immediately attracted the attention of the black knights rushing ahead.

Seeing someone running away in front of them, the black knights immediately screamed and accelerated towards the three figures in front.

Morgan quickly rushed up the hill and ran towards the woods ahead.

Frodo and Sam, who are at a critical moment, are also very fast.

But it was barely enough to keep up with Morgan's speed.

The three escaped very quickly.

But a group of Nazgûl on wickedly modified black horses was faster.

Morgan rushed into the woods with the two hobbits.

A group of black knights had already rushed up the hillside, rushing towards the three of them.

"what"

The ear-piercing scream continued to sound.

Looking at Frodo and Sam who were panicking beside them, and watching the ring spirits galloping behind them.

Morgan immediately realized that the three of them couldn't outrun those Ring Spirits at all.

So, he stopped suddenly, and reached out to touch the longbow on his back.

"Uncle Morgan!"

Frodo, who was running wildly, looked eagerly and turned around and shouted.

"Go to the place we agreed upon!"

"I'll go there and look for you!"

"Come on!"

Morgan roared without turning his head, and after speaking, he pulled out two arrows and shot them at the oncoming black knight.
