Infinity through different life

Chapter 389 The Arrival of Sauron
Gandalf is a Maier, one of the five Maiers sent by Manwe, the head of the Valar, to Middle-earth to assist the elves and humans against Sauron.

After arriving in Middle-earth, he turned into a human old man, wearing a gray robe and a pointed wizard hat. His real name was Oroin, but the elves called him Mithranda, and humans, dwarves and hobbits call him Gandalf.

He is the wisest of the five Maias who came to Middle-earth. Even when he arrived at Gray Harbor by boat, the shipbuilder Cirdan (the leader of the Teleri elves) predicted that he would achieve extraordinary things in the future, and he brought the three elves together. One of the rings, the Ring of Fire, was given to him by Naya.

Ever since Smaug captured Iruber, Gandalf has always been worried. He is afraid that one day Sauron will unite with Smaug from north to south to capture the entire east, and then form a strategic system that can echo and support each other.

After realizing this, he made a plan to act first and get rid of Smaug to solve the hidden danger.

And as Maiya, he naturally knew about Smaug's prophecy, whether it was a dwarf, an elf, or a human, all prophecies implied that the dragon would die and the king of the mountain would return.

However, Gandalf didn't know exactly how Smaug would die, but he knew that the time had come, so he found Thorin Oakenshield, the dwarf prince, and urged him to go to Irubor to retrieve the Aken Silmaril.

The king of the seven dwarves once swore allegiance to the Silmaril. In his vision, as long as he had the Silmaril of Aken, Sorin, who had the blood of the King of Turin, could summon all the dwarves, and then marched to the Lonely Mountain to kill Smaug. Recover Irubor.

And for this day, he was already prepared. He used the same excuse to encourage Sorin's father, Thorn. Although the other party didn't agree, he left behind the map and key to enter the secret door of Iruber.

Thorin, who had been in exile for so many years, had long wanted to return to his country. He immediately hit it off with Gandalf and organized an adventure team. A total of thirteen dwarves, plus Gandalf and Bilbo, embarked on the road of adventure.

…………

At the northwest end of Middle-earth, there is a huge underground city that runs through the Misty Mountains——Moria.

This was once the most powerful kingdom of the dwarves, and it prospered due to the existence of a large amount of mithril underground.

But when the mithril was finally dug out, the greedy dwarves dug out a terrifying Balrog because they dug too deep.

Creatures like Balrog used to be Maiya, but because they were seduced by Morgoth and corrupted by the power of darkness, they became such terrible creatures.

This Balrog in Moria survived the war between Morgoth and the Valar, and is the most powerful among them.

Unable to kill or even drive away the Balrog, the Turin dwarves were forced to evacuate the city.

And the dwarves of Irubor, the ancestors were one of the dwarves who left from Moria.

Since the dragon Smaug captured Iruber, this descendant of Turin was forced to leave again, and King Thor ignored the advice of others and tried to take back Moria.

However, at that time Moria had been occupied by Gombardan half-orcs first. The leader of this half-orcs, Asog the Destroyer, was huge and extremely strong. missing.

At that time, the leaderless dwarves were defeated by the orcs. At the critical moment, the dwarf prince Thorin stood up, fought against Asog, cut off one of the opponent's arms, and led the dwarves to victory.

The remaining half-orcs snatched Asog back and returned to Moria. Although the dwarves won the war, they also suffered heavy casualties after that war and were unable to attack again. From then on, they began their days of exile.

At this moment in Moria, the dungeon that was once illuminated by crystal lamps looked particularly gloomy.

The Bridge of Turin, a slender stone bridge with no railings, and an endless abyss under the bridge.

A strong half-orc with pale skin, a hammer in his right hand and a hook knife in his left, was pacing back and forth.

He was Asog, the leader of the Gombardan Orcs who beheaded Thor.

The dwarf thought that he had lost too much blood and died, but he didn't. Over the years, he was not only alive, but also tracked Thorin's whereabouts all the time, wanting to avenge the broken arm.

But right now he has more important things to do. He has sensed some kind of dark atmosphere, and there is also a message from a half-orc living in other places, that the frightening existence in the legend has returned, and today Will come to him.

The surrounding light suddenly became dimmer. Visible to the naked eye, a terrifying huge shadow suddenly penetrated the rock wall and appeared in front of him.

He really is back!

Asog trembled all over, and managed to regain his composure. After hesitating for a few seconds, he knelt down on the ground and said in submission, "Master."

The black shadow was erratic and circled around Asog a few times, and a low and cold voice said: "Very good, wise choice, as a reward, I will tell you the location of your enemy, and you can go get his head."

When Asog heard about Sorin, he immediately couldn't control his anger, stood up and asked, "Where is he?"

"Your enemies have set out from the Shire, and they will go all the way east, across the Misty Mountains, to the Lonely Mountain."

A vertical pupil burning with flames flashed in the black shadow, and a terrifying and depressing aura instantly filled the air.

Asog was trembling and lowered his head: "Thank you, Master."

"Go, after you kill your enemy, I have more important things for you to do." The black shadow floated towards the rock wall, "But you have to be careful of the gray-robed wizards in their team."

As soon as the words fell, the black shadow quickly penetrated into the rock wall and disappeared.

…………

Iruber, within Jinshan.

Xu Jing opened one eye and fell into a deep sleep.

This is his instinctive state. As a giant dragon greedy for gold and jewels, he has to guard his treasure house even in sleep.

If any thief thought that he could enter here to steal while he was asleep, it would be a big mistake. He has an extremely sharp sense of smell, super sensitive senses, and every piece of treasure has his breath on it. If it moves, it will immediately arouse his vigilance.

But now Xu Jing has not only received these instinctive talents, but also possesses a powerful soul, even the undead can't hide it from him and enter here.

He originally thought that when he woke up again, he would wait for Bilbo to arrive, but it turned out that his previous thinking was completely wrong. The first thing that came here was a group of shadows with a terrifying aura.

"Sauron!"

The golden mountain collapsed, and Xu Jing's huge dragon head poked out from the gold and silver jewelry that buried him, staring at the black figure who had just penetrated the mountain wall and entered the treasure hall.

boom!
The black shadow suddenly erupted, and the blazing flames spread out, and a human-shaped black shadow clearly appeared in the flames, from far to near, and then turned into a terrifying vertical pupil, staring at Xu Jing.

"Smaug, your doomed death is at hand, surrender to me, and only I can save you!"

While he was speaking, overwhelming coercion was released, enveloping towards Xu Jing.
