Chapter 132 Saruman's Performance
In the morning of the next day, after the brief opening remarks, the meeting got to the point. Saruman, who was dressed in a pure white robe, shone brightly under the sunlight.

"Everyone, we all know that most of the enemy's power comes from the weapon that was forged at Mount Doom. We have been looking for things related to it over the years. Now, Caleb Linpeng alone The three rings of elves created are gathered in this small hall at this moment."

A sonorous and forceful voice echoed in the meeting room. While Saruman was telling his understanding of the past over the years, he turned around and glanced at the members of the White Daoist Society attending the meeting, especially Gandalf wearing the Naya.

Even after nearly 2000 years, Saruman never figured out why the ruler of the Lindon elves, Lord of the Gray Harbor, "Shipbuilder" Cirdan, would not give him the Ring of Fire, but He gave it to Gandalf, who he couldn't get used to, knowing that he was the first wizard to come to Middle-earth, and he did it voluntarily.

And what about Gandalf who got the ring?Before Saruman set off, he heard that he was afraid of Sauron's power, so he was unwilling to participate in this mission. In the end, he was sent to Middle-earth by the order of Manwe himself, and such a person won the reward he dreamed of , and being recognized by the "Queen of the Stars" Varda, this is really unfair to Saruman.

But these two points alone have caused the proud white-robed wizard to have a prejudice against Gandalf, a colleague, for nearly 2000 years. This prejudice is full of jealousy and hatred.

"According to my research, the three rings "Naya", "Nengya" and "Viya" have not been touched by Sauron, and they have been affected very little. For 3000 years, the power was displayed, but the other sixteen rings of power were not, they were personally created by Sauron, and they were deeply influenced by darkness."

When Saruman said this, he paused for a moment to check the expressions of the people around him. This was the first time he had spoken in detail about the results of his research on the Ring of Power over the years at a meeting of the White Daoist Society.

At this moment, Elrond, who was sitting on the side, nodded and accepted Saruman's words. His expression was a little serious, but his eyes became erratic, as if he was recalling what happened a long time ago.

"After Eregian was breached by Sauron, I took some elves who escaped from the blockade and established Imladris. They brought out some materials, which showed that there was a person named Anata who claimed to be the Lord of Gifts. , together with the craftsmen of the Jewelry Guild, forged sixteen rings, and left behind the skills of making the Ring of Power. Of course, we all know the following things. Anata is that person, and he single-handedly led the destruction of Eregion , and even besieged Imladris."

Then, Elrond looked at the "Via" worn on his hand, and continued: "The information shows that there are indeed three rings made by Master Celebrity Linpeng alone, and they are used to fight against the darkness. It helped us a lot in the process.”

At the same time, Mrs. Galadriel also looked at the "Nengya" in her hand. This ring was personally sent to Rose Lorien by Celebrity Lin Peng in more than 1600 years of the Second Era. At that time, because Sauron held the Supreme Ring, it was not used all the time, but in the third era after Sauron suffered heavy losses, it did help the elves of Lothlórien to obtain a more beautiful and safe living environment.

It's just that after wearing it for so long, Mrs. Galadriel has limited understanding of the history of the "Nengya" in her hand. She only knows that the ring was made by Caleb Linpeng. As for the rest, she doesn't know much about it. More, because since Anata came to Eregion, the craftsmen of the Jewelry Guild have expressed dissatisfaction with their couple's rule, and they are unwilling to disclose anything about their skills to their couple.

Because she didn't want to start useless disputes among her relatives, she and Celeborn soon left Eregion with some of their clansmen and settled down in Lothlórien. When they got in touch with Eregion, It's time to fight the army led by Sauron.

Most of the information in this era is through records or word of mouth from person to person. Since she did not spend too much energy to explore these, Mrs. Galadriel understands and understands the events during this period. Not particularly detailed.

After receiving evidence from Elrond, Saruman took up the conversation again.

"Since I came to Middle-earth, I have been researching the source of the enemy's power, and even spent thousands of years entering the enemy's stronghold to search. In fact, those who are called "Nazgul" The ring spirits have been active for a long time. Their power comes from one of the sixteen rings they have obtained, and their purpose is to always pursue the ring that belongs to their master. For the sovereign ring."

Speaking of this, Saruman in white robe fixed his eyes on Alan, his eyes softened, and his voice became low and sweet at this time, as if he was speaking specifically for Alan.

"Over the years, I have spent a lot of time researching and found that these rings that Sauron participated in are actually related. I hoped to obtain one of the rings a long time ago to help me deepen my understanding of the world. The enemy's research, however, has not been able to do so."

While Saruman was talking, he approached Alan's position. Alan, who was sitting comfortably on the chair, suddenly felt very tired, as if the four-hour-long dream last night was just his own illusion. The Qi in the body disappeared very quickly during the confrontation, and the mind became a little unclear due to exhaustion, and the body couldn't help but want to slide off the wooden chair to the ground.

"The seven rings that once belonged to the dwarves have been destroyed one after another by the evil dragons entrenched in the north over the years, and three of them have been taken back by the enemy. I once found them in Heimandi. The king of the dwarves, I hope they can lend me the "Ring of Thorol" to help me with my research, but unfortunately, Thraine rejected my proposal. I have to say that the character of the dwarves is really too stubborn , and this stubbornness caused the "Thorol Ring" to be taken back by the enemy, and it is too difficult to get it now."

Saruman, who was talking, was about to come to Alan's side, his well-groomed face seemed to be full of kindness, but Alan felt that he had reached his limit, and the Qi in his body had begun to appear intermittent. Under such circumstances, Alan, who was physically and mentally exhausted, could barely keep his body in a decent posture in the seat. He couldn't do anything else, and he even lost the strength to speak.

Gandalf, who was sitting next to Allen, came to his senses from the information shared by Saruman. Many of these things were unknown to him. As a gray-robed wizard, Gandalf had indeed traveled to many places over the years, but He spent most of his energy in communicating with other people, and didn't set aside too much energy to study these rings, and he never went to the East.

At this moment, Gandalf came back to his senses and finally noticed the strangeness of Alan. His little friend's face protruding from the helmet was covered with sweat, and seemed to be under tremendous pressure. Gandalf was stunned and frowned. Frowning, he glanced at Saruman who was nearby, and then gently patted Allen's shoulder with his left hand wearing "Naya".

"Naya", known as the ring of fire, is inlaid with a huge red gemstone. Under this light tap, the gemstone emits a fiery red light. Ren suddenly felt indescribably relieved, and Saruman, who realized that his power had been cracked by Gandalf, looked at Gandalf with unfriendly eyes, and Gandalf smiled at Saruman. He nodded and shook his head at the same time, as if telling the white-robed wizard in front of him that this matter is over.

Saruman, who realized that he could not gain any advantage, and did not want his actions to be publicized by Gandalf, stopped his steps and continued to speak in a magical voice.

"Not long ago, Radagast brought me good news. Our dear human friend actually wiped out a ring spirit in a battle, and at the same time gained a piece of magic from the enemy. Great trophy, oh, can I see this trophy?"

Allen, who has recovered, naturally knows that everything he has encountered is caused by this seemingly kind old man in front of him. The sense of powerlessness makes Allen feel the gap between himself and these big guys again , the eyes that looked at Saruman also naturally brought a trace of sharpness.

"Yes, I did obtain a ring from the enemy. It is a sapphire ring with a gold body, which can give people the ability to hide, but I don't know what this ring can bring to you. It is very Is it important?"

Allen knew that what he had in his hand was just a main ring that once belonged to humans, not the Supreme Lord of the Rings that contained most of Sauron's power. He didn't know why Saruman wanted to get this ring so hard, even at all costs. To convene this meeting, you must know that Alan's original plan was to promote this ring as the Supreme Ring to lure Saruman.

If it was a few years earlier, Saruman would not have valued this ring, because at that time he had not really seen the power of Sauron, and the battle of Dol Guldur was left to the white robe wizard. The impression is really too deep.

If it was decades later, Saruman would not value this ring, because relying on his ability and the information obtained later, he could already forge the Ring of Power by himself, and he called himself the "Ring Forger" , Even when Gandalf was imprisoned, "Naya" was not forcibly taken from him.

But it just so happens that Saruman's research on the Ring of Power is at a critical point at this moment. If there is an authentic piece for him to analyze, then I don't know how much time it can save him. Moreover, Saruman's pursuit of power at this moment Under the stimulation of Sauron, it has reached an unprecedented height. After all, both of them are Maier serving Aoli. There is no reason why Sauron can but he can't. You must know that Saruman invited to come to Middle-earth, There is also such a trace of dissatisfaction with Sauron in it.

But in the face of Allen's question, these truths cannot be said naturally.

"Oh, what a studious little friend, well, then let me explain."

While talking, Saruman left Alan's side, returned to the center of the venue again, and started his performance.

"As I mentioned just now, after a long period of research, I found that these rings are connected. If I have one of them, it is very possible to infer the whereabouts of the Supreme Ring. It has always been believed that the ring has been taken to the sea by the waters of the Anduin River, but the enemy's movements in the past few years tell us that this inference is probably wrong, and the ring is probably still in the Anduin River , we must rush to find the ring before the enemy, so, little friend, I hope you can contribute the ring obtained from the ring spirit to the overall situation."

Regarding Saruman's words, Allen would not believe a word at all. If it is really possible to rely on other rings to find the Supreme Lord of the Rings, Sauron can still wait for you to find it?As early as thousands of years ago, he got his baby as he wished.

Naturally, Alan was not the only one who had the same doubts. Gandalf stood up at this time, and expressed his doubts: "If it is really possible to find that weapon through other rings, then who already has twelve rings Why did the enemy gain nothing all these years."

Saruman knew that what he said could not bear too much scrutiny, but seeing that it was Gandalf who asked the question, his mood immediately became extremely bad, and he lacked a little consideration in his words.

"What do you think the enemy has been hiding in Dol Guldur for hundreds of years? How do you think the enemy is looking for his treasures? Do you think you know that the enemy has twelve rings a long time ago? Don't use It's easy to get a laugh out of your tobacco-filled brain trying to figure out what I'm thinking."

The series of attacks made Gandalf feel a little embarrassed, but he was used to it. This was not the first time he was scolded by Saruman in front of everyone, but Gandalf soon reacted.

"My colleague seems to know that the enemy is entrenched in Dol Guldur a long time ago, but he never seems to have disclosed this information to us. Why is that?"

Gandalf, who vaguely thought of something, fell into deep thought, while Saruman thought that Gandalf had been attacked by his own words and had nothing to say, a slight smile appeared on his face, and he looked at Ai again. Lun.

Alan, who knew that he could no longer get more information from Saruman, was already ready to hand it back.

"The ring, I can contribute, but I also need a small favor from the wise Lord Saruman."
