The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 133 Saruman's Compromise
"I hope to get some clues about the Star of Elendil. The records in the family tell me that it was finally worn by the high king of the Numenoreans, His Majesty the Great Isildur. Lord Saruman, who can't, will definitely give me a satisfactory answer."

As he spoke, Alan looked at Saruman firmly, because he knew that the gem was lying quietly in Orthank's secret room.

"No, I do not know!!"

Saruman denied this with a slightly flustered expression. This matter was a secret that belonged to him alone. Saruman was excited for a long time when he salvaged the body of the High King from the Golden Mandarin Swamp in the past. After confirming whether the ring was on the corpse, the white-robed wizard executed the mercenaries who were waiting to receive the bounty one by one, so as not to leak the news to those who should not know.

The ring was naturally not on Isildur's body, but Saruman did not find nothing. He did find the "Star of Elendil", a handed down treasure belonging to the Kingdom of Arno, on the body. Compared with the Supreme Lord of the Rings, its power is like the firefly and the bright moon. In addition, what Saruman did can't be announced to others, so this treasure can only lie in the secret room and eat ashes .

Even if Alan tells the matter to his face now, Saruman can't admit that he found Isildur's body. After all, Elrond is sitting there, and the valley has always protected the descendants of the Kingdom of Arno. At the beginning, he found someone else's family heirloom, but he has not said a word until now. This is not something that small partners who fight against the darkness together can do.

Sure enough, Allen's words caught Elrond's attention in an instant. For the descendants of the Kingdom of Arno, the Lord of the Valley felt that he had the responsibility to take care of them. After all, they were all descendants of his own brothers, and He also has a "Star of Elendil" in his hand, but it is not the original, but imitated by Isildur's descendants. Its symbolic meaning and power cannot be compared with the original. Gemstones are extremely important to the northern rangers, because this gemstone is as meaningful to the Numenoreans as the Heart of the Mountain of the Durin clan.

"Your subordinates may know about this. After all, your eyes are always focused on jewelry such as rings. Those mercenaries who serve you may think that you don't care much about treasures such as gems, so they didn't pass the news to you. Let me tell you, if you go back and inquire carefully, there may be some new discoveries.”

For Saruman's categorical denial, Alan was well prepared. He knew that the white-robed old man in front of him would not admit it. A wizard with not particularly high EQ completes the exchange.

It's just that Saruman's disarming of Allen just now made this human leader who came to Rose Lorien with the ring extremely unhappy.

You asked me to come and I already came, but you actually secretly attacked me at the meeting and made me make a fool of myself in public, so I can't just let it go like this.

Thinking of Alan here, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he continued: "If a white-robed wizard who has mastered various powers can't ask relevant clues from his subordinates, then I think I can Don't worry, I will never use torture to extract confessions from your subordinates, because I am rich, have a lot of land, and have a lot of rights, and I can completely use the method of equivalent exchange to get what I want. No shady tricks will be used."

"you!!!"

Even as a technical geek, Saruman understood Alan's taunting of him in his words. The land of Sengard, he said he wanted it, and the prime minister of Gondor also obediently offered the key of Orthanc. At this time, a young human kid in front of him dared to stop himself from coming to Taiwan in front of so many people .

Moreover, these words always made Saruman feel that his previous actions had been known by the human in front of him. After all, this person in front of him insisted that he knew about Isildur, which made Saruman feel inexplicable. I always feel that my heart has been seen through by the young man in front of me.

At this moment, Saruman, who was angry and frightened, actually began to emit a trace of white light from the pure white cane in his hand. Gandalf, who was originally smiling, saw the reaction of his colleagues, and the expression on his face changed instantly. Become extremely serious, and hold their own cane nervously. As wizards, they need a medium to exert their abilities.

"Chop that cane first."

A light word came into Alan's ears. It was Gandalf's voice. He knew that his colleague was a guy who cared about his face very much. Gandalf was very happy, but he also knew that Saruman might really make a move at this time because of this shit.

Allen didn't expect that Saruman's face was so thin. It was just a few mocking words. The leader of the Baidaohui, the initiator of the meeting, was going to do something to him in public?For a while, Allen also became a little nervous, and slowly grabbed the rune sword on his waist with his right hand. This is the weapon he exchanged from Pendor Continent not long ago.

"Perhaps the owner of Orthank really doesn't have any clues about this. Alan from Wilderness Town, can you change the condition?"

A clear and pleasant voice reverberated in the conference room, and the voice seemed to have magical powers, eliminating the tension in the conference room invisible.

As the host here, Mrs. Galadriel will naturally not watch her guest make a big move in her meeting room. I know, but with Gandalf's protection, she knows that nothing will happen to her human guests, but she really didn't think of Saruman's ridicule. Extraordinary.

Hearing Mrs. Galadriel's words to stop, Alan's heart was relieved, and then he stood up and bowed to his wife who helped him, expressing his gratitude. If there is a fight, will Gandalf suffer? Lun didn't know that he would definitely suffer in the hands of Saruman. After all, the wizard's ability was very weird, and he couldn't deal with it just by relying on a helmet that could reduce mental attacks.

"If the beautiful lady is willing to lead Loth Lorien's army of elves to help the devastated people of Rovanian drive away the Dongyi people who are wreaking havoc on the land, then I will definitely offer the ring with both hands without any complaints."

Such conditions make it difficult for Mrs. Galadriel. Rose Lorien is very powerful, at least stronger than the Woodland Kingdom. There is no doubt about it, and the lady herself is quite powerful. It is not an exaggeration to be one of the most powerful elves in Zhongzhou. If you try your best to eliminate the Dongyi people who are already entrenched in the eastern part of Rovanian at this moment, it is not a particularly difficult thing to do, let alone humans and others. Dwarves help.

It's just that Mrs. Galadriel will never leave Calas Galathon, and the Galaz people guarding here can't cross the Black Forest to join the battle, because the depths of Moria are still sleeping, which makes the lady terrified. No one knows when the thing that once ravaged Durin's clan will come out of the dark pit and come to the place where the elves live. If there is no lady in charge, there is no way to make people feel at ease, let alone at this time. There are still a large number of half-orcs entrenched in Moria, who are always threatening the elves of Lothlórien. If the army here goes to help the humans of Rovanian, then when Lady Galadriel defeats the Dongyi people, When leading the army back home, it is very likely that they will be faced with ruins. This is not an ending that Madam can accept.

So in the face of Allen's request, Madam smiled and shook her head, expressing that she was helpless.

"I can help you defeat the Dongyi people in exchange for that ring."

Saruman still wanted to struggle when he heard Alan's request to his wife, and Saruman felt that if he stayed by Alan's side all year round, he would have a chance to take revenge on this ignorant boy, but his proposal immediately It was rejected by Allen.

"I already have the help of a wizard. I have to say that he has done a great job. It can be said that he is far superior to others. Now what I need is an army. As far as I know, the mercenaries and bounty hunters you hired, all add up There are not even 200 people, and I have seen them, and their combat effectiveness is really not very good. It is very appropriate to describe them as a mob, so I suggest that it should be the same. If there is a "Star of Elendil", there will be a ring. Randyll's star "wouldn't have a ring."

Now that his face has been almost torn apart, Alan does not intend to maintain any face-saving peace with the white-robed wizard in front of him. He is going to reveal an old story about Saruman.

"As far as I know, there is a Palantir spar in Orthanc Tower. If you don't need it, Lord Saruman, can you consider leasing it to me? If you think that spar does not belong to you , then I can also make a request to Lord Turgon who is far away in Minas Tirith, and I hope you can keep that spar safe during this period of time."

Gandalf on the side said: "The palantyrs echo each other, the Orthanc rock tower withstood the storm of time, and the palantyr in the tower also stayed. But this spar can see far away and It serves no purpose other than a small spectacle of ancient things, and it is extremely dangerous to look at this hedron, for the hedron in Minas Ithil has been taken by the enemy, perhaps before you look at the hedron When the enemy is watching you, Alan, I don't recommend you to use it, at the same time."

As he spoke, Gandalf looked at Saruman with a serious expression.

"As a wise man, I think that the wise Lord Saruman will definitely not risk using that spar."

At this moment, Lord Elrond, who had been thinking about it all the time, came over. The experienced and wise Lord of the Valley had already seen something from Saruman's expression. He knew that his colleague must be Isildur's body was found near the Golden Iris River, and the "Star of Elendil" was also obtained. After all, the white-robed wizard is not a person with a particularly deep city.

As for why Saruman kept silent on this matter in several meetings, Elrond also guessed that it was related to that ring, but Elrond still didn't think that Saruman would betray the White Society, he just thought This white-robed wizard's pursuit of power has reached a dangerous point, and he feels that he needs to do something.

"That spar once belonged to the Númenoreans. If Lord Saruman doesn't need it, can it be returned to the descendants of the Kingdom of Arnor? This is very important for the reconstruction of the Kingdom of Arnor."

Saruman saw that even Elrond came over, and he didn't know how to refuse these requests for a while. He didn't care about the "Star of Elendil", and it was not impossible to get the ring in exchange. , and now that things have developed to such a point, Saruman also faintly feels that it is impossible to continue to hide what he did, so he is ready to exchange gems for rings
He did find the Palantir spar not long ago when he was rummaging through the basement, and through the spar he obtained some information about the making of the ring. After all, this spar can see some ancient things, Saruman was very reluctant to Elrond's request, and he also hoped to obtain more information about the ring from the spar.

It’s just that Elrond’s request is well-founded, not to mention the spar, even Orthanc, his stronghold, was built by the Númenoreans in the second era, just for him to live in, and then It's just in exchange for local safety, if you want to take it back, it's not impossible.

All of a sudden, this old man with superb craftsmanship was upset by Allen's words. He needed the base camp of Orthank to complete his research, and it was also convenient for him to deal with Andu. Because of Dahe's monitoring, he also needs the main ring that once belonged to one of the nine human rings to perfect his ring casting skills, but this requires him to admit that he found Isildur's body, if he admits On this point, in order to ease the relationship with Elrond, he still has to take out the Palantir spar.

After a series of ideological battles, Saruman finally nodded under the crowd watching, saying that he would look for news about the "Star of Elendil" immediately after returning, and the Palantir spar , he will also arrange for his subordinates to send it to the deep valley.

Now Saruman regrets holding this meeting very much. If he didn't want to use the prestige of the meeting to force Allen to contribute the ring, there would not be so many annoying things. Moreover, Saruman faintly noticed that , the human being in front of him seemed to know a lot of things, even more knowledgeable than himself who had been trapped in files all year round, which made Saruman feel a little fear again in his heart.
