How to break into a ring

For Fay, whether he is a ring or a demon god who is badly broken, he has to face a serious problem.

—He doesn't know the way!

In the war of wrath launched by the gods at the end of the first era, the army came across the sea from Aman, not only destroying Angband, the home of the dark camp, but also toppled the mountains on the surface of Angband, causing the highlands to collapse and the rivers to divert. The terrain of Middle-earth has almost completely changed.

No matter which world, who can use a map from 500 years ago?

For the same reason, the Balrog does not know the way.

In the 1000 years since the Balrog woke up, he didn't even know every passage in the tunnels of Moria (no way, because of his height, he couldn't enter the tunnels that were too short), let alone the situation outside the Misty Mountains.

The troll hummed and climbed to the top of the rock formation, and soon caught a half-orc down.

"Draw a map from the Misty Mountains to Mordor!" Fay ordered.

The half-orcs are very afraid of the Balrog in the depths of Moria. Although they don't know the origin of the Balrog, they dare not speak out.Because the Witch King of Angmar is very strict with the army, if he knew that there was a hidden danger hidden here, Mordor would definitely order the half-orcs to occupy Moria, get rid of or find a way to figure out what that terrible shadow is.For half-orcs, this is a very dangerous thing, so they tacitly concealed it.

Fearing that he would be eaten by trolls, the unlucky orc began to draw a map with stones in fear.

But—"Is this the way from the Misty Mountains to Mordor?"

Just kidding, this is simply a stick figure of three rows of steamed buns and a noodle!

Fay was dissatisfied, and the Balrog was impatient, and directly ordered the ogre: "Go catch another one who can draw maps!"

Seeing that the orc was about to be picked up by the ogre and eaten as a biscuit, Fay quickly stopped him: "Wait, let him explain it clearly!"

The half-orc, who had escaped from the mouth of the troll, pointed to the vertical row of "steamed buns" on the far left of the map and said with a trembling voice, "This is the Misty Mountain."

"..." It turns out that the mantou is a mountain, and the painting skills are also perfect.

What is the meaning of the existence of this kind of race that is too ugly, has mediocre combat effectiveness, and knows nothing? Fay didn't reflect on the fact that who created the half-orcs at all.

"This is Erid Nimras, and humans call it the White Mountains..." the half-orc gestured at the row of steamed buns at the bottom of the map.

Well, the undulations vary in size, so they should not be called steamed buns, but Wowotou.

A long noodle is parallel to the Misty Mountains, and then penetrates strongly through the White Mountains and the four or five relatively lonely Wowotou on the far right.

"Anduin River?" The longest river in the mainland, it's very easy to guess.

The orc nodded desperately.

"The Wowotou in the middle... Oh no, there is no mountain in the middle?" Fay pointed to the intersection of the vertical line of misty mountains and the horizontal line of white mountains, and there was a gap in the middle.

"That's the Pass of Rohan." The half-orc lay on the ground, and could only see its bald forehead.

"Where's Mordor?"

"The easternmost part of the White Mountains, across the Anduin."

In other words, go south along the Misty Mountains, turn into the White Mountains, and cross the river to Mordor?Well, plain and simple.

However, leave the matter of crossing mountains and mountains to the Balrog.

Fay had no intention of going with the Balrog, whose size was a perfect target.

"The white mountain is too high, there is no road on it...you can't walk." The half-orc kept shaking.

Ered Nimras is called the White Mountains because there are glaciers on the top of the mountain and it snows all year round.

"Humans and half-orcs can't walk, they can't stop me!" Balrog roared, and kicked the unlucky half-orc into the magma with one kick. The howling sound disappeared instantly, and the four ogres licked regretfully lips.

"I'll let a group of stone giants follow you." Fay decided to add some strength to the Balrog. Even if he is discovered, he must have enough strength to deal with wizards and elves.Because there are not many demigods loyal to Melkor, and they cannot afford to consume them.

The stone giant is also a creation of Melkor, and the stone giant and the troll were created together.

Dumb guy like that, built to carry stuff—armies always have logistics.

"I'll go another way, and we'll meet on the banks of the Anduin."

"Follow your wishes." The Balrog took steps and began to climb up rumblingly.

The endless steps of Moria's abyss lead from the bottom of Kalanras Mountain to the top of the mountain. Of course Smaug can fly very fast, but climbing it by himself is very laborious.Fay could only let go of his aversion to trolls, throw away Melkor's pride, and use the trolls as a vehicle. They embarked on an unplanned journey with a bad map and no idea what was going on along the way.

Unbeknownst to Fay, Gollum had not escaped, but was hiding in a tunnel in the mountain wall.

Gollum didn't want to eavesdrop, but Smaug was too badly wounded to throw him, and the pale, ugly creature crouched in the crevice.Not daring to make the slightest sound.The troll had poor eyesight and didn't notice its existence.

It wasn't until the Balrog Fay and the trolls had all left that Gollum quietly crawled out.

"Mordor?" said the pale, ugly creature to himself. "Ah, yes, Mordor! Those nasty Orcs, always say to obey the orders of Mordor! That is the domain of the Lord of Darkness."

Gollum trembled, and his vicious eyes suddenly changed, becoming timid and humble: "It's too scary, we can't go there."

"Of course, we don't have to go." Gollum's expression changed again, and he muttered as if he was teaching himself a lesson, "Listen, we need to get the treasure back from the thief!"

"Yes, dreadful Baggins!"

Gollum slowly disappeared at the end of the tunnel, dragging his broken leg.

The road in the Moria tunnel is very complicated. It used to be a glorious dwarf kingdom. There are crystal lamps hanging in the hall and tunnel. The main hall is [-] meters high. The top of the tunnel room above has windows leading to the cliff.But now it was just Moria, a veritable dark abyss, unlit and pitch black everywhere.

When Gandalf and Glorfindel came around to the east gate of Moria, entered and crossed the long and narrow bridge, Glorfindel stopped immediately because there were endless steps below.

The powerful terrifying aura still stays in the abyss.

Looking up, a little crimson flame embers hovered over the endless stairs leading to the Kalanras Pass.

"The Balrog?" Glorfindel lifted his cloak, and the rune sword forged by the elf had been drawn.

Wizards all have amnesia, but even if they don't remember such terrifying creatures as the Balrog, they have heard of them.The gray-robed wizard finally understood what his ominous premonition was about.

The wizard is Maia, and so is the Balrog.

However, the fixed body chosen by the wizard and the "old-looking" clothes he wore also limited the power of the demigod, while the Balrog could use his abilities unscrupulously.

"No, this bridge is too narrow!" Gandalf hurriedly stopped Glorfindel.

Glorfindel was one of the twelve lords of Gondolin, the most beautiful elf city in Beleriand in the First Age.Gondolin is hidden in the surrounding mountains. Its ruler is the fifth supreme king of the Noldor, and was finally destroyed by the army of Morgoth. It is a group of Balrogs who are responsible for attacking Gondolin!

Glorfindel hated the Balrog more than any dark creature.

"There's only one." Glorfindel refused to leave. With the elf's keen eyesight, he could even see that the crimson flame hadn't completely climbed out of the Calanras Pass.

"The endless abyss of Moria will not only devour the Balrog!" Gandalf's staff appeared a dazzling white light, "either you or me, one may lose life, this is not what I want to see."

Gandalf emphasized his tone, "Morgoth just came to Arda. Although he did not bring the power of Valar, he brought an influence on dark creatures. The Balrog is his Maia!" in Aman Island.

"He is about to leave Moria. If we don't stop him, Rivendell, Roselorian... what will be his goal?" Glorfindel asked back.

Compared with the first era, the current elf territory has no tall walls and no hidden dwellings.

"We must first climb Mount Calanras..." Glorfindel finished speaking, and hurried across the bridge, preparing to climb the snow peak from outside Moria.

Due to the wrong judgment that the Balrog's attack target was Rose Lorien in the Golden Forest, the gray-robed wizard and Glorfindel failed to intercept the Balrog in the end.

The crimson flames were burning, and stone giants came rumbling from other parts of the Misty Mountains, and they followed the Balrog to the southern foot of the Misty Mountains.

"What's going on here?" The gray-robed wizard wondered.

The giant eagle hovered above the snow peak, their attacks had no effect on the stone giant and Balrog, they could only follow them.

Rivendell is to the north, and Lothlorien is parallel to the eastern gate of Moria.The Balrog, who has been hiding underground for thousands of years and has not appeared, is leading the stone giant to the south. What can there be in the south?

"Essinger?"

The Rohan pass is Isinger, where the speaker of the Holy White Council, the leader of the wizard, Saruman in white robe lives.

The half-orc who drew the map intentionally kept this matter vague, and secretly hoped that the white-robed wizard could kill the Balrog, but it couldn't see it.

"Do you need to notify Saruman?"

"No... I think, he may already know." Gandalf looked thoughtfully at the crows that shouldn't have appeared in the Misty Mountains.

There was no way Redagast was spying on the hobbits.

Saruman is the only one who can do this, and the brown-robed wizard Redagast can obey the order and send out a large number of birds.King Thranduil and Elrond did not abide by the decisions made by the Holy White Council and the resolutions of the Jungle Council.

The return of the Lord of the Rings should not be Isinger.

"I should go there and hear Saruman's opinion, and what he intends," said Gandalf.

At this time, Fay had quietly left the Balrog's team, and the route he chose to go to Mordor was to float down the Anduin River.This road is not difficult to walk, but the premise is - he can find the river!

Fay's confidence didn't last long, because he soon discovered that a huge monster was following up.

"I said, don't appear in front of my eyes!" Can the creation go against the will of the Lord God?

Smaug exhaled a puff of black smoke and lowered his head:

"I know, but I'm behind you now!"
