Chapter 136 Join in the fun
Chapter 136 Join in the fun
Even King Elrond was very satisfied with his appeal. If these forces could really unite, even the Dark Lord Sauron of Mordor would never be able to resist them, but... the word "unity" is not easy... "Frodo, bring up the One Ring."
King Elrond did not make too many lengthy speeches, but directly put the core issue in front of everyone.
After hearing the Elf King's order, Frodo Baggins, a hobbit who had just lost all his good companions and had a deep sorrow on his face, walked up slowly. Under King Elrond's instruction, he placed the sinful ring, the "One Ring", which symbolized infinite power and endless temptation, on the stone platform in the center of the venue.
At this moment, the souls of all the people present seemed to be grabbed in an instant, and everyone looked at the One Ring with almost the same eyes... It was endless greed, strong desire, and deep fear. No matter whether that person was an elf, a human, or a dwarf, it was difficult to escape the temptation and curse of the One Ring.
At this moment, the meeting place has turned into a noisy vegetable market. A large group of men, both old and young, are making as much noise as a group of noisy ducks.
First, Boromir, the son of Gondor's regent, demanded the One Ring on the grounds that his country, Gondor, had been blocking the dark army of Mordor in the Mountains of Ashes, thus protecting other races and countries on the continent. Although every envoy present was deeply aware of the horror of the One Ring and understood that Boromir's words were not without reason, the fire of greed was the most difficult to extinguish, and Boromir's proposal was naturally not accepted by other representatives.
The debate continued, and even brought up Aragorn's true identity, the King of Gondor, the Emperor of Mankind. However, the meeting still failed to reach a clear conclusion.
King Elrond felt a headache. His most capable partner, the highly respected and powerful wizard Gandalf the Grey, was not here. Now he could only rely on his own strength to "convince" these people... "The One Ring must be destroyed!" "The One Ring must be destroyed!"
When King Elrond said this, his expression was extremely serious, and there was no room for negotiation or concession in his eyes.
"The One Ring was forged by Sauron using 'eternal gold' and the 'fire of creation' of Mount Doom. Sauron poured his power, vitality and will into the One Ring in order to realize his dark ambitions. The One Ring belongs to Sauron and it has no second owner. As long as the One Ring exists, Sauron's influence will remain and Sauron will never die. But for Sauron, once he loses the One Ring, his power will be greatly weakened. If the One Ring is destroyed, Sauron will even die completely. So..."
King Elrond glanced at the group of people in power before him, and once again said without a doubt: "You have only one choice... The One Ring must be destroyed!"
Having said that, what else can the representatives from various kingdoms and races say? After all, King Elrond, as a "living legend" who defeated the great devil Sauron thousands of years ago, has a high prestige that is difficult for others to shake. Moreover, this is Rivendell, someone else's territory, and being able to summon them to discuss is already giving them enough face. Everyone sitting here is an old fox in the political arena, so how could they not understand this truth.
"The Supreme Lord Ring was forged in the flames of Mount Doom, and only the 'Fire of Creation' there can destroy the ring. So someone must sneak into the mouth of Mount Doom in Mordor and throw the Supreme Lord Ring into the Fire of Creation, and then everything will end..."
After saying these words, King Elrond sat down again, quietly waiting for someone to volunteer to take on this almost impossible task... Mount Doom is located in Sauron's lair, right behind Mordor. To get there, one must pass through countless orc armies.
Sauron had been working hard in Mordor for thousands of years, and had long since turned that hell on earth covered with volcanic ash into an indestructible steel fortress. To cross there and drop a ring in Sauron's back garden was as difficult as throwing a fat beauty with her hands and feet cut off into a pack of ferocious wolves.
In other words... only a super fool would take on this death mission with no return... King Elrond's words fell for a long time, but no one stepped forward to take on the task. Although most people are cowards who are afraid of death, passionate young people like the Elf Prince Legolas are also worried that they will not be able to resist the temptation of the One Ring and make a big mistake. King Elrond frowned tightly, but he kept stealing glances at the little hobbit Frodo from the corner of his eyes. In fact, from the beginning, the wise Elf King knew that among the people present, the only one who could withstand the temptation of the One Ring was Frodo, and he was also the only candidate in the Elf King's mind.
But maybe because his companions had died tragically in front of him not long ago, Frodo was so nervous that he was shaking all over, and he seemed unwilling to let the One Ring leave him. However, he never stood up bravely like in the original movie and volunteered to take on this life-threatening mission. This naturally made the Elf King Aaron shake his head and feel very upset.
Just when Lin Yu was about to take on the task and join in the fun, suddenly, Lin Yu seemed to notice something was wrong. He carefully observed the people around him again and finally found the problem... "Why is the dwarf Kingpin, an important member of the Lord of the Rings expedition in the original movie, not here? And Prince Siyod, who has a deep hatred for me, seems to be too quiet. This is really unreasonable..." However, Lin Yu still took the lead and expressed his willingness to accept this task. I don't know if it was because of the role model of Lin Yu, a seriously injured person. Frodo, the hobbit, who had been nervous and fearful, seemed to have completely aroused the precious courage hidden in the heart of the hobbit. Frodo jumped up and rushed to the front of the Supreme Lord of the Rings.
"I will, I will! Bring the Ring to Mordor, though... though I do not know the way there..."
