[Comprehensive British and American] Adventures of the Master

"Why do these orcs have a white hand on them?"

The dwarf Gimli said in disgust that there was an Orc corpse under his feet, with no head.

The Fellowship of the Ring team has been out for a few days, and now the outside world is not peaceful, and there are crows flying around in the sky, flying very low, and they don't know what they want to do.

Everyone agrees that these crows are weird, and Sam suspects that these birds are spies sent by the enemy.

On the third day, they suddenly encountered a small group of Orcs.The Orcs were rushing to the north, and the two teams met on a narrow road. After a fierce battle, the Orcs were all killed.

Gandalf solemnly picked up the iron shield with a white hand on it. A white hand-like mark was branded on the shield. These Orcs also had this white brand on their bodies.

Gandalf looked at it for a long time before letting go. Frodo felt that Gandalf was guessing something very bad. "Some changes have happened inside the Orcs, but we didn't notice it. This is not a good sign. We should be more vigilant."

"The Orcs of Mordor have no such marks on them, and their accents are quite different."

Strider kicked the orc corpses under his feet, "I've never heard of any distinction within the orcs. These orcs may come from other places."

"Since we can't figure out the origin of the Orcs yet, let's move on faster." Gandalf turned and mounted his horse. "The team should not stop until dark."

"That flock of nasty birds is coming again." Gimli squinted and looked into the distance. "I bet the master of these white-handed orcs is watching us through these strange birds!"

A dark cloud struck in the distance and was flying towards this side quickly.But in the past few days, everyone has understood that it is not a dark cloud at all.The birds would fly so close to them that they would have to duck for cover.

After the bird flew away, everyone continued to move towards the Karazraz Mountains.

Now the towering majestic mountains can be seen in the distance.

Two days later, the crowd met a small group of Orcs again, but this time they were all Orc corpses.

"The corpses of these orcs are a bit strange. They look like they were killed by something like a rope, or fell to death, rather than a sword." Boromir looked at the corpses of the orcs, and it seemed that he was also an Seasoned fighter.

"There's a word on this Orc!" Frodo saw something sharply. An ugly Orc's armor on the ground had a white hand printed on it, and a word was crookedly engraved in the common language beside it.

Gandalf hurried over and picked up the armor.

"Orthanc..." Gandalf said the word very slowly.

"Where is Orthanc?" Sam had never heard the name of the place, but Frodo had seen it on a map, but he did not know what it meant.

Frodo looked at the faces of the others, and found that everyone understood the meaning of the place name.

"I have seen it on Bilbo's map. It is a place in the south near Rohan, and it is far away from here, but I don't know more." Frodo answered Sam's question.

"Did the Orcs fall into Orthanc? That's why Saruman didn't come to the meeting?" Gimli said loudly, picking up his axe, as if he was dissatisfied that his ax could not reach the Orcs.

"Hurry up and feel the snow mountain." Gandalf looked worried. He glanced at Strider, "I hope the road to the snow mountain is still open, and we don't have to go that way."

Strider evidently consulted with Gandalf, for Frodo had never heard anyone discuss the second way, and Strider apparently objected, "That way has terrible creatures unknown, and I feel that once we step You may not be able to get out!"

But now, instead of discussing the second way with Strider, Gandalf took Frodo back on his horse and drove the Swift Shadow to quicken his pace.

On the way, they also saw birds several times. The difference was that the birds seemed to find their position very quickly, but now they seemed to be just flying around in the sky, anxiously searching the ground below.

Orthank.

Saruman overturned the table furiously.

The iron objects on the table hit the ground with a loud noise, the glassware was shattered, and the crystal ball bounced around the room after falling heavily to the ground.

Saruman breathed heavily, and after a while, he grabbed the half-orc who was standing at the side and dared not move, "Are you sure no one has entered my room when I went to Fangorn Forest! Answer me! Who has entered my room! ?”

The tall half-orc was grabbed by the neck by Saruman, and he could only make a hoo hoo sound from his throat, "Really no... ho ho... Lord Saruman, no one has ever entered or left your room, and the door has never been opened ..."

After the half-orc finished speaking, Saruman threw him to the ground heavily, panting heavily on the floor.

Saruman walked to the middle of the house, staring fixedly at the empty stone platform.

He had just returned from Fangorn Forest, returned to the high tower, and was about to monitor the whereabouts of Gandalf and his party. He planned to use Palantir to see if the team had reached the snow mountain. He planned to treat them with a snowstorm. Arrogant Gandalf the Grey.

Just when he walked to the stone table and lifted the flannelette covering Palantir, he was shocked to find that Palantir had disappeared, replaced by an ordinary crystal ball!

Saruman smashed the crystal ball into pieces in a rage, and rushed out of the room to question the orcs guarding the door.

This Palandir has been stored in Orthank for several epochs. It is also called the Eye of Far-sightedness. It can see things in the distance. Saruman once used this object to see things in the distance and also used it to spy Fragments in history, this thing is now used to monitor Gandalf and his party.

However, the former Saruman was not satisfied with using this object to gain knowledge and experience. He looked farther and farther, and used this Palandir to cast his sights on some distant forbidden places, and was finally captured by a terrifying existence. noticed him.

Saruman thought of a place with another Palandir. Palandir originally belonged to the humans of Gondor. Humans had destroyed and lost it for a long time. Only some ancient ones, like Orthan This thing exists in a place like Ke that has not disappeared for several epochs.

For example, the black tower that once belonged to humans has long been reduced to Minas Ithil in Mordor...

Saruman shuddered, he had to grab that thing from Gandalf!
