Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 128 Gulu in action and falling into the magic net
Gollum always remembered how that mean and shameless hobbit stole his treasure.

"What's in my pocket?"

So said the thief, Bilbo Baggins.But that's not a riddle.To be fair, it's not.

"Little liar! Thief in Padfoot! It's not a fair question. He lied first, he. He broke the rules. We should have strangled him, yes baby. And we would, baby!" Over the years Gollum shuddered at the thought of the hideous Snitch, with his vile, festering, shameless lies, that had stolen his treasure.

"Thief, thief, thief! Baggins! We hate him, we hate him, we'll hate him forever!"

But even if Gollum used all his words to curse the vile and shameless thief, he still lost his treasure forever.Bilbo Baggins managed to escape from the dark cave using the Supreme Ring.

We all know what happened after that.

With the help of the Supreme Ring, the hobbit shines in the adventure of the Lonely Mountain and achieves a legend, an immortal legend.

Gulu, who lost the Lord of the Rings, experienced the fear and anger of the first few years, and finally he could not resist the desire for the Supreme Lord of the Rings. It is a desire embedded in the soul, and almost no one who has held the Supreme Ring can avoid it.

Plus.

The half-orcs buried deep in the dungeon of the Misty Mountains were destroyed by Turka and Old Smaug because they participated in the Battle of the Five Armies, and the rest were wiped out in the forest by the elves of the Woodland Kingdom when they returned to the Misty Mountains. Among them, few survived.

As a result, Gulu's 'food' became less.

Due to various reasons, Gulu finally crawled out of the dark cave in the Misty Mountains after more than 400 years, and came to the outside world.

Because of holding the Supreme Ring for too long, Gulu does possess some incredible powers.He found that he could avoid sunlight and moonlight, and with his pale and cold eyes, he traveled lightly and quickly in the dead of night.But very few are discovered.

He preys on the frightened or inattentive little things along the way.

Fresh food and fresh air made him gradually stronger and bolder, and some kind of power made him follow the path that the Lonely Mountain Adventure Team had walked, and came near Beorn's hut.

At this time, the vast wilderness to the west of the Great Green Forest began to be gradually inhabited by humans.A large part of them gathered near the big manor of the skin-changing man, and regarded Beorn as their leader.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Gulu sneaked into human stables, sheepfolds, or cowsheds, hid under low eaves, and eavesdropped on many gossip.Among them are the stories of dragons, lonely mountains, treasures, and hobbits.

So he knew that the shameless and obscene 'Baggins' went to the east of the mountain like a pillar of heaven.He hasn't been there, but he heard about it a long time ago, when he was still a little cutie by his grandmother's side.

dwarf!

A dwarf who can only dig rocks!

Gulu spat in disgust, his big, pale eyes filled with fear and excitement.He left the human village quietly, just like when he came, people didn't find him.

The desire for the Supreme Ring forced Gulu to cross mountains and mountains tirelessly to the edge of the dark forest.He managed to enter the great forest that the Elves call the Forest of Green Leaves.

But he doesn't know the way.

After paying unimaginable difficulties and sorrows for ordinary people, Gulu finally passed through the terrible forest.

During that time the whole forest was full of rumors about him, and even the birds and beasts told terrible stories.The humans in the forest said that there was a new kind of scary thing outside, which was a kind of blood-sucking ghost.It will climb trees to find bird's nests, it will crawl into caves to find small animals, it will sneak into windows to find cradles.

But again, no one has seen Gollum, because the power of the One Ring still remains in him, and fate will not let him lose his life there.

Though he wasted a long time in the forest, at last yes, Gollum made it to the other side of Mirkwood.

After that, he traveled north along the Riverrun, and came to Aesgaloth.

At this time, because of Sorin's sudden awakening, Changhu Town sent dwarf craftsmen to successfully renovate it.The original wooden buildings were all changed into huge stones, rich and majestic.

And because of the trade with dwarves and elves, people here live happily and richly.

Many people even started to plan to revive River Valley City. It was only because the new Long Lake Town was built not long ago, and the number of humans had just recovered, which was not enough to support a city. thought.

It was at this time that Gulu came to Long Lake.

He escaped the sight of the guards, slipped into the human town, crept around the streets and alleys, eavesdropping and peeping everywhere.

Because the story of the silver king and the dragon is so legendary, many people have heard of various versions of the Lonely Mountain Adventure Journey, and they are no stranger to Bilbo's name—humans have never forgotten that the King of the Mountain and his companions lived together During those days in Changhu, although there were ups and downs in the middle, in the end, the ancient prophecy was indeed fulfilled, and the people in Changhu Town became rich.

So the humans of Aesgalos always talked about the old stories, the roar of the dragon flying across the sky, and the war.

Gollum's ears are sharp, and he should get the information he wants soon.

"Curse Baggins! Curse the damned thief! Gollum! Gollum!" sobbed Gollum in the dark, for it seemed to him that hobbits should not join in the fun.

Not to mention war!
"If the most vile, vile hobbit dies in the war that these disgusting, horrible men say, then yes, our treasure is lost forever. Gollum! Gollum!"

Here, we should be glad that Bilbo didn't soften his heart to say goodbye to the people of Long Lake when he returned home.Although Bard and the others knew Bilbo's name, they didn't know much about the final outcome of the hobbit who followed the King of the Mountain.

People don't even know if he is alive or dead.

Just as the Shire on the other side of the continent didn't even associate the fabled Hobbit with Baggins at Bag End.Rumors are like this, the stories in the books are always more exciting than the people who actually created those stories.

The people of Annuminas only know the ins and outs of the guests because of the royal wedding.But beyond El Pera, the name Bilbo Baggins was not even as impressive as a gold coin.

Gollum was very sad to think that the ring would fall into the hands of that shameless and despicable person; or simply die in the wilderness with that damned and cursed hobbit.

"Curse Baggins! Curse the Hobbits! He lost our treasure! Gollum! Gollum!" At that time, the desire for the ring and the fear of dwarves bit Gulu's heart—although Gulu hated dwarves before Unbearably rude, but for Erebor, which is heavily guarded, Gulu dared not sneak in like breaking into a human's home.

The eyes of the dwarves are much sharper than those of humans. They can see the slightest light in the dark. If he dares to break into the kingdom of the king under the mountain, then the most likely thing waiting for him is a cold and ruthless axe.

During that time, Gulu wandered alone in the wilderness outside the Lonely Mountain for a long time.His heart was full of hatred for Bilbo and desire for the ring.He searched everywhere for every inch of land and grass roots, every piece of cold rock, hoping to find his treasure.

And so, gradually, rumors began to circulate among the dwarves of a fearsome beast with eyes that glowed at night in the wild.Thorin even sent soldiers to capture him, but Gollum escaped with his agility and cunning.

In the end, Gulu was forced to be anxious by Sorin, so he had no choice but to leave the lonely mountain.

At this time, Gulu became thin and dark, with hardly a trace of flesh on his face.The icy cold wind and the dazzling sunshine of Gushan made him suffer like hell every day.The longing for the lost treasure burned his heart and soul again.He kept crying, with frequent grunts in his throat.

Then, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart.A certain force prompted him to walk step by step, mile by mile, slowly and furtively.

He crossed the River Run, crossed the vast Rovanian wilderness, and stayed for a while on the Dagorlad Plain, seeming to be struggling whether to go to Mordor or go south to Gondor.

In the end, under the guidance of the voice in his heart—or, in other words, under the bewitchment—he made a big circle through the Death Swamp and the Plains of Nindarf. to catch.

It seemed that human beings knew he was there long ago. These tall human beings, whose complexion was closer to that of the Haralds, rushed out of the darkness when Gulu was unaware, and captured him with nets and sharp arrows.

"Very good, now, take him back to the master." A gloomy guy in black armor and cloak said.

He struck the monster in the web with his sheathed sword in his hand—a hideous, grotesque-looking creature which the black Númenóreans of Umbar knew not what he was.But it didn't prevent them from ambushing and capturing him here according to the master's order.

Gollum was terrified.

He curled up into a ball, sobbing uncontrollably.Endure the beating and dragging of these tall, fearsome humans.

These humans threw him into a carriage with a dark lock cage, apparently used by these humans to imprison him.

The fact is the same, humans threw him into a cage, covered him with a black cloak, and looked south all the way.With the sound of horseshoes, Gulu reckoned that they were heading for the big city in human legend.

So, he cursed them more than once, cursing his poor fate.

"Bandits! Murderers!

May the yellow face in the sky roast them to death!They hurt Gollum, they hurt us!Woohoo, I'm just trying to find my baby, our baby!But dwarves and humans always hurt us for no reason!grunt!grunt! "

At a certain moment, Gollum suddenly became aware of his fate, and he wept desperately in the dark.

"Our time has come."

thought the poor, hateful creature.

"The Lord of Darkness is looking for his ring! He already knew it! Gollum! Gollum! He knew we were looking for the ring, and we foolishly sent it to our door! He is in the holy white city that humans talk about!"
