Dragonborn from Lord of the Rings

Chapter 171 Meeting in progress ([-])

All was silent, and all eyes were on Frodo.Shame mingled with fear at the suddenness that made him tremble, and he felt a great reluctance to show the Ring, a resentment at its touch, and a desire in his heart to keep himself away from it.

But a pair of majestic eyes made him hesitate.

With trembling hands, while the Silver King watched, Frodo took out the Ring which hung round his neck, tore it off, and laid it on the stone table in the middle.

bang.

It was as if a voice sounded in everyone's hearts at the same time. Although it was obviously very light, it was extremely heavy.But the moment Frodo put it down, he felt suddenly relaxed, as if all the darkness had left him, and beauty and hope had returned to his body and mind.

He took a deep breath, with a relieved smile on his face.After bowing slightly to Turka and Elrond, he sat back in his seat.

Gandalf gave him an encouraging smile.

In the morning light, the small ring on the stone table shone brightly and shone with brilliance.It seems to have magical powers.

The same is true.

The eyes of everyone here can't help being attracted by it, and many people's eyes and faces show a complex expression of greed, longing, fear, and hope.

"Behold! Here is the slayer of Isildur!" said Elrond.

"The prophecy is true." Boromir took a breath, and whispered to his brother Faramir: "I have seen the broken sword, and I have seen the weapon of the great enemy. will be stretched."

Faramir stared at the golden thing, also quite excited.

The elf stared at the Lord of the Rings on the stone table with fear and disgust, twisting his body uneasily.The twins' golden vertical pupils, which were exactly the same as their father's, revealed a curious and obsessed look.

"Hurm, Hum." Treebeard let out a deep hum: "What an evil power, it reminds me of the war many, many years ago. The place called the Old Woods stretches all the way to Mount Mercedras. Ah, those were the good and peaceful days."

The dwarves have also heard the story of the Lord of the Rings. After all, one of the Seven Rings is now in the hands of Thorin II, but not many people have actually seen the Lord of the Rings, so they also whispered.

"quiet."

Turka said that the voice was majestic and mighty, like the evening drum and the morning bell, and it seemed that the gods were angry. Almost everyone was shocked, and the shadow lingering in everyone's hearts and the Elf Garden immediately dissipated.

Noratu shook his head, breaking free from the desire in his heart.He looked at the small, golden ring in surprise, and frowned deeply like his brother.

"After listening to Lord Elrond's words, today, each of you has a chance to speak, but don't speak in vain."

Everyone lowered their heads slightly to show respect for this great king.

Elrond went on: "Many of you have heard the story of the One Ring, and each of our races suffered from the evil power of our enemies until Isildur (Isildur) took Nasir The holy sword, cut off his fingers, and the rule of the former demon king was ended."

"It was also at that time that this ring fell into the hands of Isildur, but soon, this ring, which possessed part of the power and will of the Demon Lord, was lost in the battle of the Golden Iris Swamp. It betrayed Isildur, causing Isildur Xiduo died tragically in the rushing water of the Golden Iris River. Humanity has turned from prosperity to decline."

"For many years, it sank at the bottom of the Golden Iris River, drowned in silt and algae, and even the greatest wise men never found it. Until Gollum found it."

"Gollum," exclaimed Bilbo, "ah, what a nostalgic and loathsome name."

Eldron looked at him: "Yes, this is a very long story that involves many people, and Gulu and you are just one of them. But now, please let me explain the story as plainly and simply as possible. Let me tell you the story of what happened in Middle-earth for countless years, so that you will know why you were summoned here today."

Bilbo bowed and apologized to Elrond.

So Elrond continued: "As a matter of fact, how Gollum discovered it is unknown, because since it climbed out of the dark cave in the Misty Mountains, it has disappeared. Mithrandil and the dwarves, and the elves of Mirkwood."

The wizard mentioned, Groin, and Legolas all nodded.They respectively explained how they found Gulu in the forest and on the lonely mountain, so that the story could be connected more smoothly.

And Gandalf said: "At last I found it in the Nindalf Marshes, but it was too late, and Gollum had been captured by some people, and his whereabouts were a mystery."

"It has fallen into enemy hands, evidently," said Elrond, "and it was then that Sauron learned your name." He looked at Bilbo.

"Then everything is explained clearly." Bilbo thought of the hunt many years ago, and he still had a little fear in his heart. He looked at the wizard and Turka: "His minions, those who are riding on big black horses Killer, invaded the Shire, slain and driven by Old Smaug and Elves."

"Destroy?" said Gandalf. "They are spirits, Bilbo, who are neither dead nor alive. They do not die, but flee into the void, till they are summoned again by their evil masters."

Only then did Frodo realize that so much had happened, and he thought that if he had not been rescued by Tom Bombadil, he would have died on the spot.

However, even so, after being awarded the ring by Anuminas, he still failed to escape the pursuit of these terrible evil spirits.If the twins hadn't arrived in time at the last moment, I probably wouldn't have seen the beautiful scenery of the valley.

"We already know about Gollum and the ring, but please forgive me." Boromir stood up, keeping his eyes on the ring on the stone table, and said, "But this must not be the whole story, right? One question: how did it come about?" In the hands of a hobbit?"

"Certainly not," said Elrond. "How it fell into the hands of the Hobbits is for the Ring-bearer to tell."

Bilbo immediately stood up, bowed to the dwarf and wizard apologetically, and then said, "Forgive me for not telling my friends about it. Because at that time, I just wanted to keep that treasure for myself, and the elution added to it. My stigma as a thief. Maybe I understand things better now, though. Anyway, that's how it goes."

As he said this, the venerable old hobbit narrated the adventure about dragons, magic, and treasure many years ago, which was far away from half of Middle-earth. It was a legend that everyone couldn't help but be amazed when they heard it.

Finally, another protagonist in the story also spoke.

"At that time, I knew that it was fate that made Bilbo the bearer of the Demon Lord's weapon, just like the responsibility that each of us bears." Turka said, looking at the ring on the stone table with somewhat Disdainful, a little dignified: "I told Bilbo, this matter cannot be told to a third person, because the enemy may also be looking for his ring! And the hobbit, as I expected, kept it safely and secretly for dozens of years. years, to this day."

"So that's how you escaped from the elf king's palace that day." Legolas said, "It was indeed beyond the elves' expectations!" He looked at his old friend with a smile, his handsome face flashing bright light.

"It has been hidden from the dwarves for a long time." Groin, one of the people involved that day, also laughed and said, "Bilbo Baggins, the master of the shadows! The silent one!"

Bilbo bowed deeply, and also had a cheerful smile on his face.

The corners of Turka's mouth raised slightly;
The atmosphere of the entire conference site became more relaxed. The bright sunlight shone through the white clouds and fell on the ground, illuminating the garden of the Elf House warmly.
