[Comprehensive British and American] Painting ghosts

After Shen Yanzhou completely accepted the shocking fact that his pen turned into a little Zhengtai, Tianyan Pen had already eaten all the small cakes mixed with ink on the table.

"This ink tastes pretty good, even better than a small cake." Tian Yanbi said, licking the black ink at the corner of his mouth.

Shen Yanzhou looked helplessly at the Tianyan Pen, this just-looking artifact was like a brat stealing ink, making himself a mess.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that you can still become a human?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

"It was not possible before." Tian Yanbi said. "I spent almost all of my power to send you to the next world, and created a body for you. I didn't have the power to transform into a human form. Afterwards, I slept for a long time, recovered a little, and could become a human form." gone."

Shen Yanzhou suddenly remembered something: "Then, when I was sick last time..."

Tian Yanbi: "That's right! You don't know how hard it took me to drag you from the death swamp to Gondor! And because it took a lot of energy that time, I fell into a deep sleep for a while, until two days I just barely woke up."

Shen Yanzhou asked: "Then can you maintain this form in the future?"

Tianyan Pen nodded: "Yes, yes, but I can't exert the full strength of Tianyan Pen in human form, I must be in the form of a pen, and use your blood as a medium to fully exert my power. After he finished speaking, he thought for a while, and suddenly became furious: "You haven't explained why you left me in the wilderness, and you are happy in Minas Tirith!"

Shen Yanzhou had black lines all over his face: "How could I leave you in the wilderness?"

Tian Yanbi snorted coldly: "I'm sorry you don't dare."

"Look at me, I don't look happy at all. I'm a prisoner now." Shen Yanzhou said.

"?" Tian Yanbi was stunned. "You raped the elf girl and got arrested?"

Shen Yanzhou: "..." I am actually this kind of person in your mind.

Shen Yanzhou explained the cause and effect to Tianyanbi, and Tianyanbi suddenly realized: "Oh, it means that you exposed your true purpose, and now they know that you are going to steal the Lord of the Rings?"

Shen Yanzhou nodded: "So I've been thinking these days, why didn't I tell them my real purpose earlier, so that I might be able to persuade them to lend me the Lord of the Rings for a while."

Tian Yanbi shook his head: "You can't tell them."

Shen Yanzhou wondered: "Why?"

Tian Yanbi said: "Generally speaking, people in the sub-world cannot know that they are just fictional characters, because they don't know what impact it will have on this world, and the world may collapse. So it is necessary to keep this secret Yes. Any information that comes close to that cannot be brought before them."

Shen Yanzhou: "You have added a lot of difficulty to me."

Tian Yanbi: "This is the rule between the primary and secondary worlds."

Shen Yanzhou: "Then I'm basically finished now. Frodo will soon reach Mount Doom, and I'll tell you quietly that Aragorn and the others didn't seek help from the undead. Do you remember the plot of the original movie? Without the help of the undead, they guessed There is no way to defend this city."

Tian Yanbi: "Then what are you going to do? Escape before the orcs come to attack the city? You can't remind Aragorn to find the undead."

"I can't escape." Shen Yanzhou said regretfully. "Unless I can become invisible, it is basically impossible to escape from here."

Gandalf, Aragorn, and Legolas are all here, and this prison is not easy to get over.

"Ah, you can be invisible!" Tian Yanbi said. "It's just not right now, I don't have enough strength."

"..." It's better not to say it.

"But since you're back, it will be much easier." Shen Yanzhou said. "I was already prepared to die in this world."

"What are you going to do?" Tian Yanbi asked.

"I have to use other methods to gain their trust." Shen Yanzhou said. "Let them take the initiative to let me go."

On the other side, Gandalf, who was unreasonable with the regent of Gondor, came out of the palace angrily.

"If he continues to be so stubborn, Gondor will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later!" Gandalf's staff slammed heavily on the white floor tiles of Minas Tirith, with a depressed expression on his face.

"Is he still refusing to ask Rohan for help?" asked Aragorn.

"He is too old, his mind is not bright, and Boromir's death made him even more insane." Gandalf said depressingly. "It just doesn't make sense to reason with him."

"Perhaps we can figure it out ourselves," said Legolas.

Gandalf silently crossed the holy white tree, looking at the dark sky over Mordor, his eyes were full of worry.

Even if they really form an alliance with Rohan, with such a powerful reinforcement, can they really resist Mordor's endless army of orcs?

Gandalf turned around with a sigh, but was surprised to see a person standing not far away who shouldn't be here.

Shen Yanzhou.

The tall, thin, handsome young man was standing against the wall, with an eternal and decent smile on his face. He saw Gandalf looking at him, and waved at them.

"How have you come here?" asked Gandalf, going up to him.

"I found my pen." Shen Yanzhou said. "I thought, in order to show my sincerity, I can help you with some small problems."

"Such as?" asked Gandalf.

"For example, help you get rid of that stubborn old man." Shen Yanzhou pointed to the gate of the palace. "I have a way to make him willingly ask Rohan for help."

……

Shen Yanzhou followed Gandalf into the palace, and saw the sleepy regent sitting on the throne.

When the regent saw them coming in, he looked impatient: "What's the matter?"

Gandalf glanced back at Shen Yanzhou, Shen Yanzhou nodded, stepped forward, and took out the Tianyan brush.

"Are you sure you have a solution?" He asked Tian Yanbi quietly. "What kind of magical spell has sucked so much blood from me?"

"It's absolutely fine, you write confusing characters." Tian Yanbi said.

"..." Shen Yanzhou wrote a confusing word.

The regent looked impatiently and suspiciously at Shen Yanzhou who wrote a spell, and then his expression suddenly became a little dazed.He stood up from his throne, shaking his head.

Gandalf looked at the regent, then at Shen Yanzhou.Shen Yanzhou made a reassuring gesture to him.

The regent seemed to have lost his memory in a short period of time, with a dazed expression on his face.Shen Yanzhou took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, the army of half-orcs will attack the city in a few days, please ask Rohan for help."

"..." The regent still looked at Shen Yanzhou blankly, hesitated for a while, as if he was engaged in some psychological struggle, but soon compromised under the spell, and nodded slowly. "good."

The three people behind Shen Yanzhou were all stunned when they saw that the regent who had been as stubborn as a stinky rock before agreed so simply.

"You controlled him?" Gandalf noticed something was wrong and asked aloud.

Controlling people's hearts, this is not serious magic, the regent looks like the king of Rohan who was controlled by Saruman with witchcraft.

"Magic itself is infallible, it depends on where it is used." Shen Yanzhou laughed. "Now, don't you need this little trick to control people's hearts? Don't worry, I will never use it on you."

No matter how weird the process is, at least the result is good.Gandalf sighed softly, nodded, and did not continue to dwell on this issue.

The beacon fire was ignited, and the burning red flames conveyed the signal of calling for help, and conveyed the burning and endless hope of human beings.

An iron cavalry of Rohan galloped before the walls of Helm's Deep, and the galloping horseshoes crossed the plains that were once stained with the blood of humans, elves, and orcs, bringing up dust all over the sky.

The knight galloped into the gate of Helm's Deep, his voice resounded throughout the entire Helm's Deep.

"Your Majesty! The beacon has been lit! The Kingdom of Gondor calls for help!"

King Theoden slowly stood up from the throne. Although this king was no longer young, his eyes still shone with the brilliance of a king, and his aura had never been eroded by the years.

"Rise up and go to Gondor!"

For the ancient covenant, for the survival of mankind, and for the future of Middle-earth!

For Minas Tirith, who was not far from Mordor shrouded in darkness, night always came so quickly.

Shen Yanzhou stood at the top of Minas Tirith, on the small square in front of the Holy White Tree, leaned against the city wall and looked at the sky shrouded in darkness, and vaguely saw the black army of orcs.

"They're here." Shen Yanzhou said softly.

"This is a war that is almost impossible to win." The Tianyan pen moved in his hand. "You have to think of a way out."

"I want to help them." Shen Yanzhou said.

Tian Yanbi's voice sounded a bit puzzled: "I didn't know you were such a helpful person."

Shen Yanzhou didn't speak, and said after a while: "If Minas Tirith falls, humans can't help Frodo attract Sauron's attention, and the Lord of the Rings will be difficult to destroy without being discovered by Sauron. It is more likely to fall into the hands of Sauron. It is better to forget about snatching the ring from Sauron. To me, it doesn’t matter whether I escape or not, I might as well make a last effort to help mankind.”

Tian Yanbi was also silent, and after a while he said: "You are also a human being, so you really don't want to see people burn to death, right?"

Shen Yanzhou didn't speak.His gaze fell on the refinished scroll in front of him.

In that painting, the majesty and magnificence of Minas Tirith is like the impassable mountain it stands on, with houses arranged in order and figures scattered; above the mountains, the forests are lush and full of flowers.

The author has something to say: Shen Yanzhou: Although I am ruthless and unreasonable in making trouble, flirting with girls and flirting with men, and robbing and escaping from prison, I am a good person.

Tianyanbi: Everyone knows you are a good person, believe me, you will receive many good person cards soon.

Tianyan Pen: When the time comes, you have to keep it if you don’t want it, hehe.

Shen Yanzhou: ...Why do I have a bad premonition?
