Chu Xin turned his attention to Boromir, then turned to Gandalf, "Saruman used the Orthanc crystal to form a remote alliance with Sauron, intending to seize the Supreme Lord of the Rings in my hand, so I broke out with him in Isengard.

During the conflict, he unexpectedly fled to Gondor and bit back. In addition, Saruman secretly supported the Dunlions to invade Rohan and used humans and orcs to conduct racial breeding experiments."

After hearing what he said, everyone sitting there looked ugly.

"I asked where the weapons and equipment from the Dunlbar people came from! It turned out to be that old bastard Saruman who was playing tricks on me!" Iomond was immediately furious, knowing that many soldiers and civilians died tragically in the Dunlund Land.

In the hands of the barbarians, Saruman's act of aiding the tyrants directly touched the great marshal's inverse scale.

"My father also had suspicions, but he didn't understand why Saruman did what he did." Boromir sighed.

"If it's true, Saruman's nature is very serious," Gandalf said with a dark face, "Based on all the clues so far, alas~"

He deeply regretted the fall of his old friend, and was even more afraid of Sauron.

Elrond spoke, "This matter cannot be determined for the time being. Sir Smaug, I am not questioning you, but I need stronger evidence. However, it is most beneficial to treat Saruman as an enemy for the time being."

The implication is that we can trust Chu Xin for the time being and we can cooperate.

"According to my follow-up investigation in the past few days, Saruman has most likely gone to Mordor. Once the two of them join forces, the dark forces will surely expand in a short period of time, and the full-scale invasion of Middle-earth may be advanced." Chu Xin

said.

At this time, the female bard Angelette slowly walked to the opposite side of Chu Xin and asked calmly, "I am very curious, respected Lord Smaug, how did you come back to life?"

"Who are you?" Chu Xin noticed this beautiful, unfamiliar face.

Gandalf stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce Angelit to him, "The most popular poem about you in Middle-earth was written by her. Ever since you recovered, Angelit has been very interested in you."

Angelit also said: "Sir, I have no ill intentions, I just want to gain more knowledge. For me, endless knowledge is a source of happiness, not to mention the resurrection of the dead itself is a knowledge worthy of exploration and study.

"

Naturally, Chu Xin would not tell the truth. He pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't know this either. Although I have memories of Smaug's lifetime, from my subjective point of view, I am not the Smaug I once was. We are two completely independent people."

Personality, it is it, I am me.”

This explanation directly clears up the history of evil deeds of the evil dragon Smaug.

Angelite nodded and replied with a slight disappointment, "Thank you for informing me."

Chu Xin's eyes swept over her whole body introspectively. This woman's temperament was as elegant as a glimmer of light in the morning, and her movements were quite cultural. It was obvious that she had been in a good atmosphere since she was a child and had received a higher education.

The setting of the bard is in line with Chu Xin's first impression of Angelite.

Maybe Chu Xin was overly concerned, and he always felt that she was extraordinary. After all, how could she be an ordinary person who could sit here?

"Boromir, what do you think now? If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them. We are sitting here just to discuss it together," Gandalf said.

"Does my brother know about this?" Boromir asked.

"I know, he is at the Lonely Mountain at the moment." Gandalf replied.

"What does he think?" Boromir asked again.

"I agree, and believe that Lord Smaug is completely different from what is recorded in the history books." Gandalf replied patiently.

"I believe in Faramir, so I participate in cooperation on behalf of Gondor." Boromir could ignore others, but he valued his beloved brother very much.

Immediately afterwards, representatives of many forces also responded one after another, and they all agreed that Chu Xin would keep the Supreme Lord of the Rings.

In fact, they all know one thing, that is, they cannot start a war with Chu Xin now. Let alone who loses and wins, and how much they will lose. The internal fighting will create a huge opportunity for Sauron and the suspected rebel Saruman.

At this point, the meeting of Rivendell was successfully concluded. Although there were some disputes during the meeting, the result satisfied Gandalf and Elrond.

"I heard that you lived in Annuminas, the old capital of the empire, and conquered the former Dúnedain warriors?" Angelit suddenly asked.

Before Chu Xin could speak, Aragorn looked at him calmly, and Boromir looked over in astonishment.

Both of them are Dúnedain, so they naturally understand the situation in Annuminas. It has long been reduced to a desolate ruins. Where did the "former Dúnedain warriors" come from?

Chu Xin stared at Angelit very calmly, "It seems that Gandalf values ​​you very much and will talk to you about everything without reservation."

"As a bard, I am very curious and want to witness and record all the wonderful things, including you. This reason makes sense." Angelette smiled gently.

"Compared to the safety of Middle-earth and the threat of Sauron, you seem to care more about me?" Chu Xin asked meaningfully.

Angelette blinked her eyes calmly, "I am just a bard. Apart from compiling poems and stories, I have no skills, and I have no ability to fight against the legendary Dark Lord. But you are on our side for the time being.

It’s different. I can get to know you safely and let more wonderful stories pass on. I’m sure everyone present is full of curiosity and suspicion about you.”

What she said was a bit wrong and confusing, but Chu Xin felt an indescribable violation.

In short, this Angelite is extraordinary!

But Chu Xin didn't pay too much attention to her. The most important thing at the moment is to increase [Smaug]'s proficiency from 6% to 70%, and then unlock the permission to travel. Only in this way can he sit high among the gods.

The safest thing in the world is to just use the escape technique if things go wrong.

Unfortunately, Middle-earth generally lacks combat power. If it wants to grow rapidly, it can only formally confront Sauron's Mordor forces next.

"Now that the deal is settled, I will leave. The invasions of Mordor's army have become more and more frequent recently." Boromir stood up and said goodbye with a stride.

"Me too, the situation in Rohan has become more serious in the past two years. Those ugly Orcs often ride wargs to harass." Eomond followed and left.

Aragorn couldn't wait to see his old sweetheart, Elrond's only daughter Arwen.

Gandalf did not leave, he still had details to discuss with Elrond, but Gimli had no clue and simply followed Gandalf.

Legolas, who had been wandering around the Middle Earth for many years, had nowhere to go, so he stayed in the valley with beautiful scenery and pleasant atmosphere.

Apart from anything else, this valley really supports people, and they have the urge to retire here.

Whoosh!

Chu Xin had no interest and immediately spread his wings and flew high under the gaze of everyone.

Since the war is imminent, the preparation of the Skeleton Army must be more efficient, so he might as well serve as a transport plane.

"Gandalf, is this choice right or wrong?" Elrond looked at the disappearing white skeleton in the distance and said worriedly.

"Perhaps there is no answer. Some things are beyond my control." Gandalf smashed his pipe and frowned as well.

He glanced at Angelette who was silent and frowned even more.

The female bard holds a thick golden notepad in her hands. Judging from the somewhat messy pages, it seems to be a booklet in which she writes poems.

"It's more difficult to fathom than I thought~" She shrugged and smiled at Gandalf.

…

Mordor.

Under the Doomsday volcano.

"Saruman, after so many years, we finally meet again." Sauron said in a hoarse and deep voice.

"If possible, I really don't want to meet you at this time. It's all because of that hateful skeletal dragon, which disrupted my plan!"

Under the huge red eyes, Saruman, who was still dressed in white robes, had a stern look on his face, and his right hand holding the wand trembled slightly. He couldn't help but feel scared when he thought that Chu Xin had followed the clues all the way. Fortunately, he entered Mordor first.

territory.

At this moment, these two fallen Maia, who both belong to the earth god Aulë, officially meet.

They were once dazzling and noble subgods, but as time has passed, they can now only hide in the dark land of indifference.

"You and I join forces, Smaug will become our mount sooner or later, and I will make him taste the price of disobeying me!" Sauron said ferociously, and the overflowing anger turned into a biting cool wind, and all the dark creatures that were swept away were beaten.

Chills.

Even Saruman was afraid. With his magic power sealed, he really couldn't defeat Sauron who was in the recovery period.

And as time goes by, Sauron's injuries gradually heal, and all he needs to do is return the Supreme Lord of the Rings to return to Middle-earth in full glory.

"Saruman, I don't need you to go to the front lines to fight in person," Sauron said. "Just show your true value here and build an army for me that will scare humans and elves. I know you have this ability.

I admire the explosive weapons and the powerful orcs."

"You mean the orc army armed with black powder weapons?" Saruman stroked his white beard.

"I have countless raw materials here for you to use, as many resources and manpower as you need," Sauron boasted unabashedly. "In addition, I have two methods for dealing with Smaug."

Saruman suddenly became interested, "What is it!"

"The dragon clan was created by my great master Melkor. As his most trusted servant, I naturally know some methods. One is the drawings of dragon-slaying equipment secretly hidden by the dwarves back then. I happen to have a few of them. The other is Lord Melkor.

The black devil's dragon-slaying skill bestowed upon him." Sauron said sarcastically.

Melkor in his mouth is what the world calls the fallen lord Morgoth. The former is his real name and the latter is his nickname.

"In the next period of time, you will fully assist Saruman. I will grant you the black magic of slaying dragons. At that time, you will reorganize the team to seize the ring. No matter what the war is, it will be a cover for retrieving the Supreme Lord of the Rings." Sauron's big eyes.

The child turned to the four Nazgul, including the Witch King of Angmar, who were stuck in the corner.

The four people who received the order quickly knelt down on one knee to show their compliance.

Saruman turned around and looked at the vast dark plain. He glanced at the Eye of Sauron from the corner of his eye and secretly swore in his heart: "This is the beginning of my rise, Sauron. I will let you do whatever you want."

All my efforts were taken away from me.”

…

Since the Rivendell Conference, all countries have been busy, expanding armaments, recalling veterans, strengthening defense lines, rebuilding beacons and other processes.
