Chapter 177 The Journey to Find a Tree Wife

Shen Long let the Somersault Cloud land and sit on it. He flew to the side of Treebeard's head and clicked on the recording software on the tablet. He originally intended to use this thing for boring entertainment, but he didn't expect it to be used by an unexpected person. It seems a bit difficult to learn this song, but it is easy to record it with a tablet.

Treebeard sang again. After listening to it, Shen Long clicked on the recording and started playing. The ancient and distant singing spread in Fangorn Forest. Treebeard looked at the tablet curiously, "Interesting thing, this is for you humans." Did you make it?"

"You can say so, but it wasn't created by humans in Middle-earth. Are you sure you can find the Tree Wife by playing this song?" Shen Long asked. He wanted to know if the recording was the same as Treebeard's singing. function.

"If you can find them, this song will definitely evoke their memories." Treebeard replied affirmatively, and the problem was solved, "Where are you going to find them?"

"Maybe it's in the east, maybe it's in the west, maybe it's in the south. Who knows, you can only know it if you go to these places to look for it." Shen Long replied, there are such words in the novel, and Shen Long found some clues when he read the original work. .

"Okay, this will probably take a long time, but it doesn't matter. We have been waiting for so long, and we don't care if we wait a little longer." The life of the tree people is very long. Unless they are burned to death or killed, they will not Will die naturally, they have lived since the birth of the dwarves until now.

"Maybe not, I can fly faster than an eagle." After saying that, Shen Long climbed up a little further and was ready to go, "Then I will leave first. If there is any news, I will rush as soon as possible." I’ll tell you when I come back.”

He flew around Treebeard in mid-air, took some photos and videos of him, and then flew towards the south. In Tolkien's letter to his friends, he mentioned that treewives like Ithilien, the Garden of Gondor, and in the novel, when Frodo, Sam and Gollum went to the Mountains of Doom, they also discovered Ithilien between Minas Tirith and the Black Gate of Mordor. A place full of herbs and shrubs.

This scene is very similar to the garden that the Treewives like. They have always liked low plants, and in a place close to the Black Gate of Mordor, there are such beautiful vegetation. It seems impossible that there is no special power to protect them. , so Shen Long chose the first location in Ithilien, the paradise on earth.

Flying southwest from Fangorn Forest, we soon reached the top of the Anduin River. We flew down along the direction of the river. When we saw the White City of Minas Tirith, we slowed down and admired it from a distance. After seeing this majestic white castle, Shen Long turned in the direction of Mordor. Between the two was Ithilien.

Following Frodo's route to the Doomsday Mountains on the map, Shen Long found this beautiful garden next to a beautiful waterfall. On the broad grassland in the middle of a forest of fir, cedar and cypress trees, many kinds of trees grew. The shrubs also have blooming parsley and thyme, and birds are singing happily among the flowers. It really looks like a fairyland.

"What a great place." Shen Long praised. If this were placed in the real world, there would be no problem in rating a 5A tourist area. He landed as high as the tree crown, then looked around for suspicious plants, and turned on his tablet. Turn Treebeard's song to the maximum, and slowly fly in a circle from the outside of the forest. As long as the Treewives are really here, they will definitely be able to hear the song.

Unfortunately, I flew from the outermost edge to the center, and then from the center to the outer edge. I flew back and forth several times and searched every corner, but I still found no abnormality. Maybe the tree wife has never been here. Here, or they may have been here, but then left again.

"It looks like there isn't one here, so let's go to the next place! Then go to the east of Fangorn Forest and take a look." Shen Long rose into the air again, and the somersault cloud flew into the distance with its long tail.

Tolkien also mentioned in his letter that the tree wife might be kidnapped to Mordor in the east and become a slave of Sauron, where she would engage in agricultural work for Sauron. After all, Sauron's men also had to eat.

The agriculture in Mordor is mainly concentrated around Lake Hanonen in the southeast of Mount Doom. It is close to water sources and has large plains, which is suitable for agricultural production; more importantly, it is close to the Black Gate and the Eye of Sauron. The Dark Tower is far away, so Shen Long dared to sneak in.

After flying southward for a while along the Shadow Mountains, Shen Long flew over the Shadow Mountains far away from the Black Gate, where Mordor's defenses were lax. In the third movie, the giant eagle Wind King Guan He flew over the Minas Morgul. The Eye secretly rescued Frodo and others, so it can be seen that Mordor's aerial vigilance is not strict.

If he had brought the Lord of the Rings, he might have been discovered by the Eye of Sauron, but just by himself, he could sneak in secretly; Shen Long successfully crossed the Shadow Mountains and arrived around Hainuonan Lake in the middle of the Norn Plains.

This place looks completely different from Ithilien. The ferocious Sauron's men are dotted on the plain. There is an aura of evil everywhere. There are hardly many flowers and plants to be seen. After a few glances from high in the sky, Shen Long gave up his plan to search.

It would be difficult for tree wives to survive in a place like this. Even if there were tree wives who were kidnapped and brought here as slaves, they would probably have died long ago.

Then, let’s go to the next place! Shen Long directly accelerated to supersonic speed and flew in the direction he came from. According to the information he found, there were signs of tree wives near Shire. He didn’t check directly before because he was afraid. Even if you find Tree Wife, you won't be able to recognize her. Now that you have Treebeard's recording, there will be no problem.

The story of "Lord of the Rings" only takes place in the western part of Middle-earth. It is 2,000 miles from Linton in the west to the Red Mountains in the east, and 1,500 miles from the south to the north. It is about the size of Western Europe, which is less than 500 miles. Ten thousand square kilometers, flying at supersonic speed, it didn't take long to return to the Shire.

Dropping off outside the village, we walked to Bilbo Baggins' Bag End. Seeing that Shen Long had only left for two days and returned, Bilbo was a little surprised, "Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"

"No, there's no trouble." Shen Long said with a smile, "I just forgot one thing and may need your help."
