Falsifying history is good business

The place of Númenor has become a legend in Middle-earth, and at the same time, it has become a forbidden place in a sense.

On the one hand, this place was destroyed by the creator god "Yiru", and all races were inevitably intimidated by the power of the god and stayed away from it; on the other hand, this place is located in the center of the vast ocean, not on the shipping route, and there are no resources around it that can support the survival of land life, so naturally no one is interested in it.

Moving the space-time rift to the top of Meneltarma is equivalent to placing it beyond the reach of all intelligent life. Even if someone finds it again, they will not be able to use it smoothly due to the turbulent waves around it.

So as Lin You said, this is indeed a good place.

The first consensus was successfully reached, which marked a good start for the communication between the writer and the King of Arda; the atmosphere of the conversation became more harmonious.

When Lin You asked whether the Valar had discovered the emergence of the gap in time and space before, Manwe also understood the meaning of the song; "The movement of 'Eru' is moving towards its final climax, and we are all focused on this; that is why the 'Valar' have never left Aman since the Third Age. They are with me all day long, and have never directly interfered in the affairs of Middle-earth."

The implication of the King of Arda's words was very clear. All the actions of the "Valar" were under his watch. No one was found to have entered the territory of Middle-earth, and no one could create such a major event as a rift in time and space without his knowledge.

Back then, the "Valar" personally took action to fight Morgoth mainly because the opponent was too strong, and they had to gather the power of all the "Valar" to have a greater chance of winning; now, on the one hand, it is to prevent too powerful a force from destroying the world, and on the other hand, Sauron is far inferior to his old master Morgoth in terms of identity, status or power, so all the affairs of Middle-earth are entrusted to the Maia such as Saruman, Gandalf, and Gwent.

Manwe's words were cryptic, but Lin You understood them clearly; these words could be regarded as a guarantee that the original gods of Arda had nothing to do with the gap in time and space. In this case, the mastermind behind this celestial conjunction could only be from a world outside Arda; because no Maia, including Sauron, could do this.

Unless the King of Arda in front of him lied to his face - but Lin You was unwilling to rush to judgment.

"In that case, I will return to the other world and find a suitable place for the exit on the other side of the space-time gap." Lin You said; the southern end of the Mahakam Mountains is too close to the busy waterway of the Yaruga River, and in terms of concealment, it is not even as good as Dol Guldur deep in the dark forest.

Although the author needs to maintain the space-time channel between the two worlds, he does not want people to come and go on this channel.

The state where "the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, but the two never interact with each other until they die" is good for both worlds.

"I await your news... Hmm?" Manwe paused suddenly, his eyes sharp, looking straight to the northeast.

After a moment, the King of Arda looked back at Lin You and said, "I am afraid I must ask you for help, foreigner. Our two Istars are in danger in the far north. It is a danger that no one could foresee, and no one can save them in time now."

"Ishtar? Are you talking about the two wizards?" Lin You asked, "Are you talking about Gandalf and Radagast? As far as I know, they were sent to Mount Rhudaur to investigate the tomb of the Witch King."

Manwë nodded and said, "Yes, but they have travelled farther north, into a land once shrouded in darkness; and, worse still, their journey seems to have been contrary to their destiny. The Elves should have seen the danger, but they were blinded by unseen powers. Now it is too late for the Men of Middle-earth to come to their aid, and the Valar are forbidden to enter Middle-earth."

"You want me to go?" Lin You asked.

"You alone can go, so I implore you," answered Manwë.

"Okay, tell me, where did the two wizards get lost?" Lin You did not refuse; firstly, it was known that there was no force in Middle-earth that could threaten the writer, and secondly, he also wanted to further contact Sauron. If he couldn't find Sauron himself, he could find his subordinates.

After all, the one who could put Gandalf and Radagast in danger together, even if it wasn't Sauron himself, should be his capable general.

Manwe raised his hand and gently stroked the air; a hazy mist floated at his fingertips, gathered in front of him, and then gradually dissipated. A geographical picture overlooking from a high altitude appeared before his eyes.

There are several narrow valleys in between the mountains, and fortress-style buildings are located in almost every valley gap. At the northernmost end of the mountains, a large-scale fortress complex stands on top; although it looks abandoned for a long time, the remaining ruins still give us a glimpse of its grandeur in its heyday.

Just by sight, Lin You judged that this fortress building was more magnificent than the Dolguul Fortress; of course, now they both looked abandoned and desolate, and even the illusion presented in the fog could clearly sense the deep darkness and evil within.

It was exactly the same feeling Lin You had when he first saw Dol Guldur, and it was even more eerie.

"Angmar, the kingdom of witchcraft, is located in Carn-dum, the capital at the northernmost end of the Misty Mountains. The two Istars are trapped in the darkness and are in danger." Although Manwë's tone did not change much when he described the critical situation, the geographical location of Angmar quickly became clear in Lin You's mind as he spoke.

"We'll talk about the arrangements for shifting the space-time gap later." Lin You opened the dimensional space door.

"I await good news; Sorondo will communicate with you and will also bring your request back to me." A giant eagle, nearly twice as big as the Wind King Guan He, circled in the sky at some point, making long cries.

Lin You suppressed the urge to pay people on the spot and crossed the dimension gate. He appeared in the sky, overlooking the mountains; the environment here was even worse than what he saw in the fog, and the situation of Gandalf and Radagast was even worse than what Manwe had described lightly.

Between the mountains, outside the ruins of the fortress of Carndum, a large number of orcs and mountain savages were waving their weapons and chasing the enemy northward; in front of them was the rabbit-drawn sled driven by Radagast, moving around on the mountain path.

The two wizards stood on the sled, trying to protect themselves and the rabbit. At the same time, they were dizzy and in a mess because of the sharp turn.

The sled had not gone far before more orcs and wildlings emerged from both sides of the road and in front, and soon surrounded the two wizards.

At the same time, nine pale green ghosts were always floating in the air, circling around the sled; these ghosts actually directed the actions of the orcs and wildlings, and were always able to fill the occasional gaps in the pursuit formation in time.

The big rabbits were driven into the encirclement by the ghost.

However, Lin You's attention was neither on the besieged wizards nor on the nine ghostly figures that were most likely the Ringwraiths. As for the orcs and wildlings all over the mountains, he paid no attention to them.

The writer's eyes were always fixed on the two wizards' heads, where there was a thick black fog lingering; the powerful magic contained in the black fog blocked all the wizards' ways to seek help.

"I finally found you, Sauron!" Lin You fell from the sky and "stepped" straight down on the black fog. Unfortunately, the "black fog" was very obedient. When Lin You's big foot was about to "step" on it, the fog suddenly dispersed and hid in front of the fortress gate in the distance before recondensing.

Lin You stepped on empty air and created a huge deep hole on the ground, causing the earth to shake and rocks to break.

The violent shaking of the ground made the surrounding orcs and wildlings unstable, and they fell down like cut wheat. Before they could stand up, a ball of fire ignited without wind from under Lin You's feet, and instantly turned into a fire tornado that connected the sky and the earth, spewing deadly flames in all directions.

The flames further defeated the Orcs' formation. Even the intangible ghosts did not dare to face them directly and retreated quickly, leaving an escape route for the two wizards.

"That's Bryce..." Radagast shouted.

Gandalf was more sober, knowing that this was not the time to greet him, so he kept urging the brown-robed wizard: "Quick, leave here quickly, this is not a battle we can intervene in."

On the other hand, Lin You didn't pay any attention to the two wizards at all. When the fire tornado took shape, he was already standing in front of Soran. (End of this chapter)
