Immorton

Errond raised his eyebrows and persuaded them to return to Shire, but Gandalf agreed with them to join: "The battle with Modo cannot be solved by strength alone. Even if Lord Glorfindel is strong enough to fight the Balrog, Nor can he open the way to Mount Doom for Frodo under the nose of Sauron. He needs to find his own courage and wisdom. For this, I would rather trust the friendship and loyalty of my partners. I will go too, and I can lead They find their way."

"Okay." Errond conceded, "Then, every race not ruled by Sauron should send a representative to participate in this 'Lord of the Ring'. As a secret operation, the number should not be too large, so as not to attract Unnecessary attention. Glorfindel's reputation is not appropriate." He said regretfully.

"If Lord Glorfindel does not go, then, on behalf of the elves, I offer my bow." Legolas stood up again.

"My axe. For the dwarves," Gimli announced gruffly, stepping forward.

"Anyway, I'm going back to Modo. If I can help the ring-bearers along the way, I'd be happy to join." Boromeier raised his eyebrows.

The field fell silent.After a few breaths, Errond, Glorfindel, and Gandalf all turned their eyes to Imerton.He looked back at them with a low voice: "Some of us were hired by Gandalf, and some were called by Aragorn to escort the four of Frodo to this place. Originally, we were only mercenaries, and we fought for food. That's all. But when the shadow of darkness spreads and our homeland is threatened, we also assume the role of rangers, fighting to protect this land and the ethnic groups that have lived here for generations. Because of this, Zheng Zha almost never refuses to go on a tour The knight's call. This time, too. We will risk our lives to fight to end the darkness."

Gandalf and Aragorn glanced at each other, and Gandalf spoke first: "During several employments, I found that these teams, especially Zheng Zha's group, have diverse tactics, good strength, and are quite reliable."

Aragorn pondered and said slowly: "Grandmother Zheng Zha's mother and grandmother are both my clansmen, descendants of traveling knights. He went out to fight and became a mercenary when he was very young. After returning home after a mission, he found a small village. Destroyed by the orcs, he gathered a few young men who survived hunting and entered the lair of the orcs. After that, they lived mainly as mercenaries, while patrolling north of Bree for a long time, aiding sporadic Villages scattered in the wild, with great prestige. Because the village where he was born was close to the ruins of Fornoster, people called him the 'Pine of Fornoster'. I think he is a warrior who can rely on his back."

His trance gaze fell far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "After the Battle of Fornoster, the surviving clan warriors turned into patrolling knights, secretly protecting innocent people. For thousands of years, even in relatively peaceful days , Our number has also increased very slowly. Since Sauron appeared and the half-orcs began to proliferate, the number of patrolling knights has decreased year by year." He showed a sad smile, "Many times, when soldiers become adults, they leave home and never return. .They disappeared into the wild, leaving no corpses, and people will not know their sacrifices. I suspect that our number is less than one hundred." His eyes swept over Borromeier and stopped at the main seat, " Your Excellency Erlund, I am very grateful that you have always allowed our women and children to live on the edge of your territory. Before facing their fate, the soldiers at least have a stable childhood."

Then he turned his gaze to Emerton, "Because of the shortage of manpower, the power of the outlying rangers has become more and more important. We are very happy that someone is willing to work with us for everyone's survival, so there is not much for the latecomers." As long as they participate in field parades and the killing of half-orcs from time to time, most of the latecomers are mercenaries. The three teams that came this time are all similar groups of half-mercenaries and half-rangers. Affairs, including the origins of members, under normal circumstances, no one will ask."

"Even if they brought the undead into Rivendell?" An elf who was traveling with Legolas finally couldn't help but ask: "And let him attend the secret meeting as a representative? The parade knight protects the living under the sun, why would Fighting side by side with the undead?"

These few words fell into the lake like a boulder, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.The dwarves stood up and shouted excitedly, and Borromeier also stood up, holding his great sword in both hands.

Errond pressed his forehead again with a headache; Gandalf frowned and pursed his lips in thought.Imerton remained silent until the discussion subsided, before he spoke: "Whether you have no objection to the parade's participation in the operation, you only have doubts about my personal position."

"Of course. I respect the Rangers." Borromyer cast a sharp glance at Aragorn, and smiled furiously at Imerton, "but I will never fight with evil things."

The elves nodded slightly, and the dwarves agreed loudly.Aragorn turned his head and gave Imerton an apologetic look.

Emerton was using a mind link, and hurriedly returned him a look of understanding: "Zheng Zha, don't get excited, the task of the Lord God must be completed, don't threaten them with 'no', at least now we have no problem joining as a whole. Know , I will naturally try my best to fight for it, and if it doesn’t work, I will meet you in Modo. Also, you can listen to my privacy, but I don’t welcome people from other teams to watch.”

Consciousness in and out of the brain, Zhan Lan took over from the other team of spiritual powers to connect him and Zheng Zha: "Okay. Do you want to be called Chu Xuan?"

"It's up to him." Imerton stared at the expected scene in front of him, without sadness or joy, "It is impossible for the Lord God to prepare such a detailed identity just to prevent me from going to Modo with the team. If I make the trip, there must be future hand."

Chu Xuan's consciousness joined in: "The main god has troubled you for two consecutive games, maybe it means that it doesn't know how to deal with your special situation. You are very strong, but you have nowhere to go in terms of evolution. effects. Be careful."

"Understood, I will." Imerton thought about the current situation.

Gandalf discussed a few words with Errond and Glorfindel in a low voice. He raised his head and was about to speak when one of the four hobbits who were still standing in the center of the crowd spoke out inappropriately: "I Trust him." Pippin folded his hands with feigned maturity, and looked up briskly, "He saved us."

Merry and Sam nodded immediately, and Merry added: "Although we don't know exactly what's going on at this point."

When Frodo heard this, his frowning brows opened immediately, his big eyes began to shine, and he showed a bright but slightly shy smile: "Yes, no matter what, he saved us in a critical moment. I also trust he."

Everyone looked at them unexpectedly, and before they could react, someone stood up with a chuckle in the tense atmosphere.

Imerton walked up to several hobbits and knelt down, restraining his smile, "It's great to hear you say that." He rubbed Pippin's hair, "I wish everything was that simple. But there are some things, I...shouldn't avoid it anymore." He stood up, clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, and glanced at Aragorn, Gandalf, Glorfindel in turn, and stopped on Errond's face, "I understand the doubts I have received It’s not groundless. Even if I can’t join, I will still try my best to persuade Zheng Zha and the others to take part in the action.” He paused, “But, I want to go. Zheng Zha and the others are my partners of choice, and I should always be side by side with them Combat. What do I need to do?"

Erlund looked at him with a little pity: "When we heard that you would attend the meeting on behalf of the Rangers, we were worried that a similar situation would appear. In fact, since you were injured for Frodo, you are west of the Misty Mountains. No one should doubt your loyalty anymore. However, you are going to embark on the road of confrontation with Modo. In view of your status, even I have doubts about this, let alone the few people who participated in the Lord of the Rings There will be disagreements about it. Disagreement among companions is the worst, and I am only glad it happened here and not on the road. I want you to give up and be my messenger to bring the news back to the Shire."

Gandalf's eyes were calm and serious: "I said before that I believe in the friendship and loyalty between partners, so I am happy to see you go. However, if you want to convince everyone that you are credible, you first need to announce your past history; And that's not enough, I think, it only answers part of the question, but it creates new uneasiness. You also have to answer the ensuing question. Like last time, the process may still make you uncomfortable. "

"Well, that's not fair," Pippin remarked casually, and Merry immediately covered his mouth.

Still not enough information.Emerton decided to take a risk. He closed his eyes and asked softly, "Is everything the same as last time?"

"No, there will be no more detention and torture." Erlund confirmed. "Remember, you are my guest and you have done nothing wrong. In Rivendell, you don't have to accept any unjust demands."

Imerton bowed his head in silence, and time passed by.

In the soul link, Zheng Zha and Chu Xuanzheng had a great quarrel: "...he is fine, why should he be interrogated?" "In order to collect information. This time, your identity is just too detailed, he It's very unusual, and now is an opportunity." "It's not fair to him, and what if he misses it?" "Fairness with the main god? The wisdom of apes. Besides, the world of reincarnation has always been related to risks and benefits. Take a step back , the mission is limited, he will have to enter Modo sooner or later, the later, the less room for reaction, and the more dangerous it will be." "Then there will be us, now he is alone, hey, he is not genuine, God knows what people will ask .” “…” “…”

Imerton looked up: "Erlang
