[Comprehensive British and American] Adventures of the Master

The next day, Frodo woke up and found that it was broad daylight. He put on his clothes and went out. Sam, Bilbo and others were already sitting in the courtyard outside.

"Frodo, come here, you slept until the afternoon." Sam saw Frodo come out, jumped up and waved to Frodo.

Frodo went and sat down, and found food laid before them, fresh fruit and bread, and the drink and wine of the Elves.

"Enjoy the elves' delicacies first, Frodo, you fell asleep before you came and ate last night." Bilbo said with a smile, picked up his pipe and continued smoking.

Frodo also felt hungry, so he took the food and ate a full meal.Eat almost all the food in front of you before stopping.

The rest of the time, he and Sam had been talking to Bilbo, listening to Bilbo tell of his experiences over the years, and Bilbo's books, and Bilbo's poems.

Suddenly, Frodo jumped up as if thinking of something, "Gollum! Gandalf says Gollum is here!"

Bilbo's expression suddenly became serious. Of course he would not forget that poor and somewhat terrifying creature, "Yes, he is indeed here. Gandalf is going to interrogate him now. It's in the dungeon of the elves. You can ask the elves Can I take you to have a look, after all, this matter is also related to you now."

Just at this moment, Gandalf came back with a slightly heavy expression.

"Gandalf, what did that Gollum say?" Frodo asked impatiently.

"The key is not what he said, but who he said it to. Fortunately, I caught him in time, and he has not been captured by the enemy." Gandalf frowned, "The rest will be brought to the assembly." Let’s go up and say, the elf spies should be back in a few days, and the other participants are also on their way, I hope they all go well.”

So for the next few days, Frodo and Sam lived quite happily, forgetting about the stressful journey and the enemy who was still far away.Every day, he discusses his books, poems, and what he saw and heard along the way with Bilbo, and sometimes he listens to the elves singing quietly. Bilbo said that most of them are ancient songs handed down by the elves, and some of them are elves. Songs I made up myself.

Ten days later, the two spies of the elves returned, and Gandalf told them to come to the council hall in the garden for a meeting.

When Frodo and Sam reached the Ring Garden, where many chairs had been placed in a great circle, Gandalf motioned to them to sit down beside him, where there were two wooden chairs with slightly lower backs.

Frodo sat down on the chair and began to look at everyone. The elf lord Eldron had arrived and was sitting in the first seat. Frodo and Sam bowed their heads slightly to him, and the elf king nodded to them in response.

The vagrant Aragorn sat on a chair directly opposite the elf lord. He was still wearing unremarkable clothes, and his hair was only slightly neater than during the journey, but Frodo felt that he could not be ignored at this moment. .

Aragorn's left is also a human being, but he is well-dressed, tall and burly, with blond hair combed neatly behind his head, and he looks like a human lord.This human being is looking at the humble Aragorn quietly.

In addition, Frodo saw two dwarves with long beards and braids, and one of them had a sharp ax at the foot of a stool.The dwarf was very dissatisfied, because there were two elves sitting next to him. Frodo guessed that these two elves were the two elves spies who went to Mordor to inquire. One of them should be called Legolas. Frodo heard Bill Bo had mentioned the elf.

"Everyone is almost here." Eldron said slowly, everyone stopped their small movements, and the venue was completely silent, but Frodo noticed that there was still a vacant seat next to Eldron, "Letter from Saruman Tell me he has something to do and can't come to our meeting, and since everyone else is here, our meeting will now begin."

Frodo noticed that Gandalf frowned, as if puzzled that Saruman had not come on time.But then Eldron began to introduce everyone, and Frodo turned his attention to the elf lord.

The two dwarves are Groin and his son Gimli. The man in gorgeous clothes and cloak is Boromir, a human from the south. The strange elf named Legolas is the elf king in the north. The messenger sent by Thranduil was also one of the elves who went to investigate Mordor.

Everyone first told what they saw and heard in the place where they lived in the recent period, mainly about the evil creatures that act abnormally.

Next, Eldron asked the two elves to introduce what they had seen and heard near Mordor.

Legolas got up and slowly told everyone what he saw and heard, "After we arrived in Rohan and continued to go south, we found that some aliens and Orcs actually fled north, and most of those Orcs were captured by Rohan's hussars. Killed, the remaining few according to Rohan's soldiers said nothing, only know the fear of shouting 'Volcano', so we continued south, closer to Mordor. It became very hot there, I was in a long time I have been close to Mordor before, and it was not so hot at that time. Mordor built a tall city wall and gate, but through the city wall, we can see Mount Doom, and we can see it erupting."

The wrinkles between Gandalf's brows deepened, "I have never heard of such a violent eruption from Mount Doom, and the entire sky was dyed red, even during the great war that year."

Legolas continued, "Indeed, in the records of the elves, the Doomsday Volcano has never erupted on such a large scale. We managed to capture an Orc and interrogated him. He only said that the volcano erupted suddenly. They were all terrified, and wanted to get away from here for a while. They were ordered to gather in Mirkwood, and some of the Orcs were ordered to find a man, they said, called a Gollum."

"It seems that Sauron's vitality was seriously injured, and he hibernated back. No matter what the reason is, this is a good thing for us. But Sauron obviously has a plan, and he can't wait." Eldron concluded.

"So bringing us all together is to find that Gollum? I'm sure the name is not a dwarf." The dwarf expressed his opinion loudly, "Any more stories about this Gollum?"

"Fortunately, I caught Gollum ahead of time. He is now in the elf's dungeon, and I have asked some ancient secrets, which tells us how to do it." Picked up that treasure by accident, was fascinated by it, and called it "my baby".He did not hesitate to kill his companion for this, and then lived alone in the cave for many years, with Orc corpses and raw fish as companions.The story of how he was abandoned by the ring in the end, and the treasure was picked up by Bilbo who broke in accidentally, and lost to Bilbo in the gambling, and Bilbo took the opportunity to escape.

It was a long story, and Gandalf took a long time to tell it, and for a moment everyone lamented the wretchedness of the poor creature.

Frodo and Sam were uncomfortable, because the hobbits lived in the place where Gollum picked up his treasure, and most of the bobbits there loved fishing, which showed that Gollum was probably a hobbit.

"So the treasure picked up by this creature is very important to Sauron?" Boromir asked.

Gandalf nodded slowly, his expression became more serious, "Yes, this item is a gold ring, which is now kept by Mr. Frodo, Mr. Bilbo's nephew. Coincidentally, it happened on the day when Mount Doom erupted. , This ring has also undergone a strange change, and it is this change that made me discover what the ring is and why Sauron is so eager to get it."

Then Gandalf told the story of the ring suddenly caught fire, and asked Frodo to show the ring.Gandalf put the ring on the stone platform in the center, and with the wizard's staff, he conjured a flame to roast the ring.

I saw golden lines appearing in the ring, and the words seemed to reveal an evil and ancient atmosphere, and everyone felt a trace of fear.

Eldron stood up solemnly and approached.

"Reign over the rest, the sovereign of the demon world..." He slowly read this sentence in Mordor, and everyone present shuddered, feeling like they had never heard such an evil language.
