Immorton

Sir, I would love to accept your proposal, but I cannot.If they're in danger, I'm thousands of miles away and can't do anything... I'm interrogated. "

"So let's do it." Erlund nodded heavily.

Glorfindel stood up and stood up, with a face like the purest inorganic gem: "Whether you should be trusted will be the final issue of this council. Are you willing to disclose all history, answer all inquiries, follow all conclusions, and accept any disposition? If in the end The final decision is summary execution or lifelong death—I believe not, but if so, what will you do?" The formal tone indicated that the process had been initiated.

The problem is extremely acute.Emerton lowered his eyes: "I hope there will be fewer people watching... I just don't want my experience to become people's gossip. Although it is not far behind now, at least the hobbits don't have to hear those too dark old things... ..." He smiled helplessly, solemnly, "I agree. With the honor of a warrior, I swear that no matter what the final decision is, it will be carried out."

"Anyone who feels that they cannot keep their mouths shut, please leave now." Gandalf's tone could not be violated, "Then, except for the three of us, the three parties who have doubts about Imerton should keep one person from each party, and it is recommended that the Lord of the Rings were present; Aragorn remained as a witness; and you, Frodo, have expressed your opinion, decide for yourself whether or not to attend."

"Well, Imerton doesn't want us here, I think." Frodo threw up his face and smiled warmly at Imerton, and he and his companions lifted Bilbo down the dais.

Imerton stood silently in the center, facing Errond, Gandalf, and Glorfindel, waiting for the last agenda item to begin.After a moment of hustle and bustle, the platform became empty and sparse, only Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, and Borromire were sitting around.

"Please allow me to reiterate that, as before, this interrogation will be secret. Aragorn, I don't want the information leaked like last time." Erlund's words were very severe.

Aragorn immediately stood up, touched his chest and bowed in salute before sitting back.

Glorfindel began to narrate: "A long time ago, Gandalf the Gray recognized and captured an undead among a group of outlying rangers. After the preliminary interrogation, he and Redagast the Brown began to secretly track down Imerton's intrusion into the rangers. In view of the fact that the information disclosed in it may help to understand Sauron, the record of the incident was simultaneously copied to the three places of Salaman in White, Erlund, and Grantriel. Later, this matter accidentally traveled in the north Word spread among those who read it. Today, Errond, Gandalf, and I have decided to publish the original record here, in order to judge Imerton's suitability to participate in the missions related to Mordor."

He opened the dossier that he had just sent, and his voice, which was as clear as gurgling water, seemed to be emotionless, "...the gray-clothed wizard noticed the wanderer in the cloak...the curse of the shining light made him fall to the ground, and Bi was temporarily blinded at the scene. The half-orcs were even more terrified... After being bound by the rope of the elves, they were imprisoned in the ancient forest... The confession is as follows... The two apprentices of the wizard in white came and were ordered to use the soul-searching curse, but they were stopped by the wizard in gray, and then the ancient The lord of the forest expelled them... The wizard in brown asked what happened from a turtle, a snake and a catfish... The turtle said: ... He raised his broadsword and parried the ceremonial rapier that was stabbing at the lady , the rapier broke, and Bengfei’s sword tip bounced off the rockery and pierced into the head of the original sword holder from the side... The lady smiled sadly and said: "I don't love you again... Forget it, I can't live anyway, You go, don't keep it to die.' crashed into the rockery, almost hit the turtle when he fell... the snake saw him kneeling and crying, the god said: give me your soul, and I will help you... the catfish remembers someone Drenched in blood, he waded across the river on horseback, holding people in his arms. Many people were waiting for him on the other side of the river, and someone shouted: "How can you believe him, who would throw himself into a trap after escaping from the country?". Soon he After wading back, the person in his arms disappeared, and the group of people took him away..."

Emerton suddenly closed his eyes, and sighed through the soul link: "He is a real warrior...much more innocent than me..."

Several people in the connection did not make a sound.

Glorfindel continued: "...the brown-clothed wizard found the wormhole...they said yes, we remember: when he came down, there was a blood painting on his forehead, and he didn't completely disappear after being eaten, in place Leaves a transparent shadow, the pattern on the forehead is still blood red, and the chains growing from it have been sunk into the rock... The gravel accumulates in the shadow, and then it is full... He always stabs everyone thrown in immediately, we eat Not alive... That girl had a round belly, and he sent her away from the other end, not letting us eat. The girl wiped the pattern on his head with her hands, and the chain broke. We are lonely when he leaves. Brown clothes The wizard said: Hehehe, continue to be lonely. From now on, you will eat yourselves, and destroy all the openings with your stick... The gray-clothed wizard received a letter from the two blue-clothed wizards in the east, saying that there is an epic describing the incident in the local area. The content is as follows ...consistent with his confession...was wandering around Modo for a long time, but never entered...the first time was obviously a chance encounter, rescued two patrolling knights surrounded by half-orcs...invited..."

The four next to him listened attentively.Aragorn looked difficult; Legolas made no secret of his sympathy.

"The decision of the gray wizard: After three years of investigation and interrogation, I found that, like most warriors, his hands were soaked in blood, but there was no intentional unjust killing... He has paid too much for his mistakes. Although his soul belonged to Sauron long ago, he still faced the darkness with an attitude of rejection and resistance...showing extraordinary courage. In summary, even though he is a dead soul, I still decide to set him free and wish him the best of luck in this world The land finds peace. I ask the Lord of the Rangers to take him in, and watch his whereabouts, lest Sauron put pressure on him. Note: The Elves' ropes are caught in his wrists, ankles, arms, neck and lower back, hands and feet Almost snapped. When he removed the binding, he admitted that he felt burned by the matchlock all the time. This kind of rope is extremely effective and should be promoted, but we need to be cautious in using it, since our purpose is never to cause pain. In addition, the soul search The spell affects the stability of the soul, so it should be banned." Glorfindel closed the file calmly, and sat back on the chair.

"So that's how it is." Emerton suddenly realized, and explained in the soul link, "I always felt that Gandalf was too kind to me, but it was all because of guilt, because he had inadvertently tortured and caused unnecessary pain."

Zheng Zha in his mind seemed a little ashamed and laughed dryly.

On the field, Erlund glanced around: "Now you can ask him questions, or make a judgment directly. As a start, I want to know why you didn't enter Modo at that time."

"I... don't know. At that time, I was just a little scared and didn't want to go in." Imerton recalled the confession he had heard before.

Legolas stood up: "I have made my decision. He has suffered so much, but still maintains the dignity of a warrior. I apologize for questioning him earlier and allow him to join."

"I absolutely disagree." Borromyer stood up when Legolas sat down, "He is an easterner who worships Sauron as a god, and his soul belongs to Sauron. What else can he say? The enemy. We've been fighting the invading Easterners all these years, and I remember their faces."

"Yes." The dwarf yelled, and gave the elf a glance, "The undead belong to Sauron, you are a kind of ring spirit."

Imerton looked him sideways: "Maybe, I don't know. I think the evaluation of living beings comes from their behavior, not the group."

"You're dead. I don't agree anyway, I don't feel well." Gimli stared back.

Imerton was speechless, and looked down at the pattern on the stone table.

"I don't know those details." Aragorn's voice was very low. "I think I know, but the truth has gradually been lost in the spread of the rangers. I have no doubts about his will and courage. The only thing left The question is how much autonomy he has when it comes to Sauron's will, in other words, whether Sauron can directly control his actions."

"I'm... not sure. I've never faced Sauron. When facing the Lord of the Rings, although it has an influence on me,... I don't think it controls my behavior." Under the gaze of Gandalf, Emerton replied with great hesitation.

"Then I don't think he poses an additional threat to our mission, and I agree with his participation." Aragorn responded.

"The wishes of Lord Errond and I are very clear." Gandalf turned around and looked around, "I am afraid that Lord Glorfindel's opinion will finally decide this matter."

Glorfindel looked at Imerton with indescribably silent eyes for a while: "I don't think you will like my decision. It's not that I don't trust you. On the contrary, I have seen your heart. But sending you to Such a test under Sauron's feet is too cruel for you. For your safety, I don't want you to go east."

Emerton had nothing to say.He stood there for a while, saluted silently, and stepped back.

Suddenly, Gandalf stood up suddenly: "Wait. Before we finish, I need to ask one last question." He walked up to Imerton, "You must be honest and complete about how you feel. I must know that when Why were you frightened when you saw the Ring that Frodo put here."

Imerton was stunned, why, he recalled the endless coercion full of malice...

At this moment, like lightning flashed across the sky suddenly, the surroundings became clear in an instant.The mission of the Lord God, Chu Xuan's warning, the indifferent attention of the prophet Glorfindel, the soul belonging to Sauron
