Sword and Magic and Taxi

Orcs riding dire wolves are normal, and goblins riding dire wolves are rare but not unreasonable, but humans riding dire wolves, whether inside or outside Mordor, are unreasonable. Therefore, when a group of three people entered the Gobi and came to the wasteland full of poisonous gas vents, they had to change their appearance.

He took off his armor, took off his weapons, tied his hands with ropes, and was fixed on the back of the dire wolf. Zhao Mai was in front of him, and the goblins were behind him, facing the west wind that was getting colder, and heading all the way to Mount Doom.

The closer we get to Mount Doom, the more we can feel Sauron's evil power descending from the sky, rising from the ground, and squeezing in from all directions. Riding on the back of the dire wolf and looking around, the orcs watching seemed to be looking at him with covetous and threatening eyes. Their fingers were always not far from their weapons, as if they were about to attack at any time.

These are all illusions created by dark forces to keep the orcs alert. Fortunately for Zhao Mai, he responded with an attitude of I have nothing to worry about even if these orcs attack first. However, Talion and Goblin Beast Fang were not so comfortable. Leaving their territory and entering Sauron's territory with their own power, being out of place is considered a minor thing. Being monitored and suppressed is what really makes them uncomfortable.

This was before Zoro had recovered, and his focus had been drawn away. Zhao Mai calculated. In order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, the three of them moved slower. They would definitely not be as fast as Zeratul, who was running at full speed. I guess Gollum should have been captured by the orcs near Mount Doom and sacrificed to the Nazgul, right?

Poor Gollum.

Zhao Mai locked up Gulu for a long time and studied him for a long time, trying to see if he could change him back to his original appearance and get rid of his desire for the Supreme Lord of the Rings. He originally thought that this was a strong mental addiction, a psychic effect that could not be overcome by his own will. At worst, it could make him forget the existence of the Lord of the Rings. Would that mean he could be a new person? But the result disappointed him. The Lord of the Rings gave Gollum an unnatural longevity, but in fact he was already dead. The remaining creature called Gollum is just a new creature with the past body and memory, plus dark power. Attempts to separate the dark power from him were in vain, for that was all he had left.

Gulu could only leave, he had to leave, he just had to leave when. Zhao Mai imprisoned it for a long time, using this method to fight against the will of the world, adding, adding, subtracting and returning to a blank state in the dynamic. But recently, the detention of Guru has brought more and more pressure to him, and the will of the world has become impatient. Even if he doesn't release Gollum this time, the news Talion inadvertently released in order to go to Mount Doom will lead to Gollum's release.

Zhao Mai glanced at Talion and Goblin Fang. The two of them were still being carried forward in the river of world development. At best, they are two relatively large vortices, with the ability to attract and change the surrounding water flow, but in the end they are not the same? Zhao Mai tried his best not to touch the water. He was just a leaf floating on the water, which made him more carefree to a certain extent. If you find a way to fly, that is the ultimate pursuit.

We can't do that right now, so we have to go with the flow. Zhao Mai and Xiaohua made an agreement that if there were blue dire wolf teeth or the Ring Spirit came to the south, they would hand over Gulu immediately to ensure that it would be caught by the Ring Spirit without any hesitation. If there is any delay, the Nazgul may enter the Blackfoot settlement and cause damage there.

This competition in Alda is not a fight against other contestants at all, but a fight against the will of the world. Zhao Mai must distinguish between friends and foes. Even if they were enemies of Sauron, Talion and Celebrimbor were not fighters, but promoters. The cause that led the Nazgul to search for Gollum was caused by them.

As for the goblin beast teeth... Zhao Mai is still observing him. The will of the world possessed by goblins is very strong, and its degree of solidification is almost as strong as that of Gollum. The only difference is that the goblin is not dead, and the dark power has not completely taken over his body, so it has not become completely solid.

If we extrapolate from this difference in state, then Sauron, who can regain his physical form by wearing the Supreme Lord of the Rings, must have how deep and terrifying is the dark power he possesses?

Zhao Mai already knows how to gain the favor of the world's will, knows the rules of its transfer, and has also found ways to balance and offset its influence, but there is one thing left that he still doesn't know: how to use it actively. Talion, or Celebrimbor, knew this method, otherwise he would have been killed by Zhao Mai's punch in the air.

Today is almost over, let's set up camp. Talion said as night was approaching. Whether it's Commander Beast Fang or these dire wolves, they need to stop.

If he would die so easily, he would have died long ago. But the Dire Wolf should indeed rest. Zhao Mai snorted. Because of the difference in weight, the dire wolf under his butt was the most tired. He jumped to the ground and looked around. There is a river there. It looks like there is water. Go there!

Talion nodded, loosened the rope with a flick of his wrist, and then took out the tied weapon from under the dire wolf's belly.

It is surrounded by jagged rocks and almost no grass grows. But today was a lucky day as they found a blue sheep with its leg stuck in a rock crevice. It must have been carelessly lost by some slave, and it just happened to be mine! Zhao Mai opened his big hand and was about to catch it, when an arrow shot past him and hit the heart of the sheep.

Okay, what I killed was my prey, and I propose that all three of us should share. Talion walked past Zhao Mai with a long bow. Zhao Mai snorted and deliberately bumped him with his shoulder when turning around. The Ranger of Gondor staggered, but with the help of the will of the world, he avoided the danger of shattering his shoulder blades and walked safely to the blue sheep.

I suggest that it is better not to light a fire, so as not to be seen as a human being eating with the orcs. Moreover, metal will reflect light under the firelight, which is eye-catching. The goblin coughed hard, but still lived stubbornly. .

I have no problem. I wonder if the humans of Gondor can bear it? Zhao Mai chuckled and found a rock wide enough to sit on.

It doesn't matter, he won't die because of this. Celebrimbor's ghost figure appeared, and then said: I feel that Sauron's eyes have shifted. The trip to Mount Doom is very likely to be successful. . Therefore I am going to start the matter of forging the Ring. I remind you again that it would be better for me to forge the Ring of Power for you.

Zhao Mai looked at the goblin and looked a little moved, but finally said in a reluctant tone: Don't look at me, I will definitely learn it! Just tell me!
