[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

"Why are you with the Haradrin? Are you a Haradrin?" asked Faramir.

Shen Yanzhou shook his head.

Faramir said, "I don't think so either. You look like a half-elf."

Shen Yanzhou shook his head again: "No, I'm just an ordinary human being."

"Why should they protect you?" asked Faramir.

"I don't know either." Speaking of this Shen Yanzhou also looked confused. "I'm just a passer-by. I finally ran out of the death swamp. I fell ill and passed out by the roadside. When I woke up, I was like this."

He looked down at the poem he wrote, and suddenly had a bold guess: Could it be written by Tianyan pen?

Shen Yanzhou, who had learned the truth, did not realize that he had lost the truth.

At this moment, two human soldiers came in suddenly and asked Faramir, "We caught two hobbits and a sneaky little monster just now."

Shen Yanzhou's eyelids twitched.Yo, what a coincidence, you were also arrested?

Faramir seemed to have lost interest in Shen Yanzhou, and instead of asking him any more questions, he went to the newly captured Frodo and his group.

After Faramir knew that Frodo and his group had the Lord of the Rings, he lacked fatherly love and immediately thought of giving the ring to his father, the regent of Gondor, to prove his strength to his father.So he took Frodo and the others back to Minas Tirith, the capital of Gondor, and Shen Yanzhou was taken away as a suspicious person.

Thankfully, though, Faramir didn't keep them locked together.Shen Yanzhou was also happy to eat and drink for free in the Gondor army, and he also had a vehicle for free, so as not to run and break his legs.And he can follow Frodo and the others at any time, such a good thing, he doesn't want to escape from prison.

They reached Minas Tirith before sunset.

Minas Tirith is a very remarkable city in Shen Yanzhou's memory, not only because it is the capital of Gondor, Shen Yanzhou prefers its unique shape.Minas Tirith is a cascade city built on the mountain. The whole city is not distributed on the plane, but built at different heights, and it is integrated with the mountains. It can be called a marvel of man-made construction.Not only is it full of artistic flavor in viewing, but also it can occupy a very advantageous defensive position in war.

Now that he saw the grand scene of Minas Tirith with his own eyes, Shen Yanzhou just wanted to find some paper and brush to draw this moment. Unfortunately, the Gondor soldiers around him took him very seriously. Will be attacked by countless eyes.

Shen Yanzhou sighed.

What could be more painful than a painter who is inspired but cannot paint?

Shen Yanzhou was taken into Minas Tirith's cell.He looked at the soldiers who locked the door and walked away, sitting helplessly on a pile of straw.

On the other hand, Frodo and Sam's talk made Faramir begin to hesitate whether his actions were right or not.Is it really right to give the Lord of the Rings to such a regent in order to gain his own father's love?Was he really going to follow in the footsteps of his brother Boromir?

At the moment when they were tangled and tense, and Shen Yanzhou was growing mushrooms bored in the cell, the Witch King of Angmar brought his Ringwraiths to Minas Tirith on fallen monsters.The fallen monster smashed the roof of a small house with its claws, and dragged a pile of rubble towards a higher place.

"Cough cough cough..."

Shen Yanzhou, whose face was smeared with gravel, felt like he was beeping. The small house that was caught happened to be the cell where Shen Yanzhou was held, and it was so easily destroyed by the fallen monsters.

Shen Yanzhou looked up at the disappearing roof: "..."

I haven't had time to experience prison life yet!

Shen Yanzhou complained silently while crawling out of the ruins of the cell with some difficulty.

He watched the Angmar Witch King chase after him in the direction he left. After a few days of rest, his physical strength has basically recovered, and the herbal medicine of the Haradrin people really worked and cured him of his illness.With Shen Yanzhou buffing his strength and speed, he was not pulled down too far.

The Witch King of Angmar was not in a hurry to attack the city, and the other Ringwraiths were wreaking havoc, but he hovered above Minas Tirith, looking for the location of the Lord of the Rings.Shen Yanzhou knew that he had to help Frodo at this time. The people of Gondor are now concentrating on dealing with the sudden Ringwraiths. Frodo has no one to protect him. If he doesn't help, the Lord of the Rings may be snatched by the Ringwraiths gone.He searched for Frodo, and found Frodo on a wall.

Shen Yanzhou hurriedly ran towards the marked spot, and climbed the wall directly when he encountered a road he couldn't walk. Although he was blessed with a power spell, Shen Yanzhou's hands still hurt a lot from climbing the wall unarmed.

But it was too late, Frodo was corrupted by the Lord of the Rings, and he was already unconscious. When the Witch King of Angmar appeared in front of him riding a fallen monster, he even stretched out his hand, holding the Lord of the Rings in his hand, It turned out to be directly handing the Lord of the Rings to the Witch King of Angmar!

Shen Yanzhou was startled, but it was too late to stop him.

At this moment Sam ran out in the aid of God, and threw Frodo down, and they both rolled down the steps.

Shen Yanzhou heaved a sigh of relief, and climbed up a few more steps. When he looked up, he saw that Frodo had completely lost his mind. He drew out his sword with a bang, and the tip of the sword touched Sam's neck!

But Frodo failed to strike the blow, and coming to his senses, he remembered what he had just done, and dropped the sword in his hand.He staggered to his feet, took two steps back, and sat powerlessly in front of a ruined wall.

"No, I cannot," said Frodo, shaking his head. "I'm just an ordinary hobbit, I can't do it... I can't afford to save the world."

Shen Yanzhou finally arrived. He stood more than ten meters away from the two of them, hiding behind a wall, and stopped when he heard Frodo say this.

Sam stood up slowly, looked at Mordor shrouded in the dark sky outside the walls of Minas Tirith, and said:

"I understand your pain, Mr. Frodo. Like those great stories, our journey was full of darkness and danger. Sometimes you don't want to know the end, because after so many sad things, this How can the world go back to the past? But I think, I finally understand, the protagonists in these stories, they have a lot of opportunities to quit halfway, but they don't, because they all have a belief."

"What faith?" asked Frodo.

Shen Yanzhou also raised his head to look at Sam.

Sam went to Frodo, lifted Frodo up from the ground, looked him in the eyes and said:

"There must be goodness in this world, and that's why we fight for it. (That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for.) [Note 1]"

Shen Yanzhou, who was hiding aside, smiled, his eyes sparkled, he looked in the direction of the two hobbits, and said softly in his heart: "Sam, you are the soul of the Lord of the Rings if you can say such a thing."

But the emotion is the emotion, Shen Yanzhou still knows what he wants to do now.

When he was about to cast a spell to trap the two of them, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.Shen Yanzhou was startled, and quickly dodged and hid behind a wall, looking out through the gap in the wall.

It is Faramir and his soldiers!

Faramir's eyes were very complicated, and he seemed to be engaged in a fierce ideological struggle.He also heard what Sam said, and at the same time he understood how heavy the mission was for Frodo and Sam.

"Let's go," he said. "Hurry up, don't be discovered by my father and king."

Frodo and Sam looked at him in amazement.

Shen Yanzhou sighed softly, young man, you will be executed by your father if you secretly let the important prisoner escape. He didn't want to see you in the first place, and now he will hate you even more.

He turned and left this place of right and wrong, with a little melancholy in his eyes.

Even if he doesn't belong to this world, even if he already knows the ending, sometimes he can't help being infected by these people and these stories.

Frodo and the others finally started their journey again, and Shen Yanzhou quietly ran out of Minas Tirith overnight.

Don't run and wait to be caught again?nonexistent.

Shen Yanzhou searched for the direction of Frodo and the others all the way, and followed them slowly until he got out of the range of Minas Tirith before he started planning to snatch the Lord of the Rings again, and this time he swore he would never Forget Gollum!

On the other side, a few days ago, Rohan was besieged by an army of tens of thousands of half-orcs, and had no choice but to retreat to Helm's Deep.They held on for four days and four nights. If it wasn't for the timely assistance of the elves, they might have already fallen.Just when Helm's Deep was about to fall and the king himself put on his clothes to prepare for the last fight, the first ray of sunlight on the fifth day morning finally shone on the battlefield where the people were dying. Gandalf led Eomer and his cavalry finally rushed To Helm's Deep!

Under the illumination of Holy Light, the strongest spell of melee mage Gandalf, the brave and skilled human cavalry rushed to the black army of orcs.They rushed to Helm's Deep at this critical moment and saved countless human lives.And the humans and elves who had suffered countless casualties in Helm's Deep were finally able to raise their weapons, open the city gate, and rush to the half-orc army, which was demoralized, to welcome the dawn of victory!

This is a victory for mankind, and a victory for light!

The joy after the victory infected everyone. They sang and danced after the victory to celebrate the hard-won short peace.

At the banquet, Legolas sat beside Aragorn and drank the fine wine.In this happy atmosphere, he seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.He turned to Aragorn and said, "Do you still remember Shen?"

Aragorn nodded.That elf-like human with many secrets.

Legolas hesitated for a moment, but still expressed the confusion in his heart: "I think, we need to talk about this Mr. Shen."

The author has something to say: Shen Yanzhou: How easy is it to escape from prison?I still want to experience the hard life again, alas

Tianyan Pen: ... Ha ha.

Shen Yanzhou: Silly pen, what do you want to say?

Tianyanbi: Why didn't you get crushed to death by the gravel?

Shen Yanzhou: No way, this is the lucky max that belongs to the protagonist alone :)
