Immorton

, but his body did not die, and was slowly healing.We believe that he took some medicine which had a remarkable healing effect. "

Emerton took a step back, sat down against the big tree, and said weakly: "...No one knows how to use our confiscated items. When Zhao Yingkong fed him, I almost wanted to object...he is still alive..." He reached out and supported his forehead.

[-]. The Pain of Choice

In the dark forest, Gandalf wearing a white robe suddenly stopped and looked to the left.Imerton beside him stopped at the same time.

The rustling of the leaves was mixed with the strangely low and slow Common Tongue.Soon, someone asked in a half-dream and half-awake tone: "Are we almost there?" The voice was light and sharp that is unique to minors.

Imerton cried out, "Pipin."

"Ah—" Several voices exclaimed at the same time, and the sound of leaves rubbing against each other moved closer to them.

Gandalf and Imerton took a few steps forward, and saw a moving tree coming towards them, with Merry and Pippin sitting on the branches on the left, and Zhan Lan and the female archer of the Arctic team on the right .

Pippin and Merry jumped down from the tree before they had time: "Gandalf! You're still alive!" They jumped up and hugged the leg of the wizard in white, and the old man laughed loudly.

Zhan Lan had already exchanged some information with Imerton through the soul link, and approached the female archer one after another with a smile.

Gandalf was listening to the two hobbits scrambling to tell their experiences - when Borromire came back, they found Frodo missing; Aragorn, Zheng Zha and Zhao Yingkong went to look for it on the hillside; Searching by the river; Legolas, Gimli, and Richard went to the woods to search; someone attacked, Cheng Xiao and Zhang Heng were led away; then the orcs surrounded them, Borromire blew the horn, and Nios was hit by an arrow , the four of them were taken away, and Borromeier was still fighting to the death on the spot...

Imerton said to Zhan Lan in his brain: "It's lucky that everyone is alive. Zheng Zha Chuxuan and the others are not far away."

"Well, there are too many of them, and there are wounded people, so they dare not leave separately, and feel that there is no need to change the plot here, or if there are Green Goblins and Nightmare, they will have caught up long ago."

Gandalf sighed, and told Pippin and Merry: "Yesterday, I felt that Frodo was determined to cross the river alone, and complete the voyage of the Ring."

"Yesterday?" Imerton turned to look at him. "When we just left Rose Lorraine?"

Gandalf nodded.Imerton lowered his eyes and remained silent, reaching out to rub Pippin's head.

"...Is there no one around them?" In the soul link, Imerton asked Zheng Zha and Chu Xuan who had just been connected.

"Chu Xuan wanted to send someone, but he didn't have enough strength. After Zhan Lan was taken away, everyone didn't think about it. It's more important to come together to save people." Zheng Zha explained.

"In any case, it's best for the two of them to have someone around them. How about I go? It's most convenient for me to go there, since I'm going to enter Modo separately from everyone." Emerton suggested.

"The possible benefits are great, but it is very dangerous. The team that wants the Lord of the Rings will definitely target them; in addition, you can't enter Modo too early. Relatively speaking, the later it is, the easier it is for us to support you, and the more likely it is to incur Sauron's suspicion and murderous intent. One and a half days earlier than us, if you say to report the letter, you may be able to hide it from him." Chu Xuan analyzed flatly.

"If necessary, you can give up the Lord of the Rings, lead the two teams to compete, and try to protect their lives." Imerton looked up and saw the tree shepherd staring at him, "Actually, it's better for me to leave, and Rohan is divided here." In the two battlefields with Essenger, my strength is not easy to use around elves and treants. Near Modo, I don’t have such scruples.”

"I guess, because you showed the ability to attack life indiscriminately in Moria, the Lord God will find a way to increase the difficulty of the large-scale battle you participated in." Chu Xuan added.

"...Then, should we bring someone else?" Zheng Zha hesitated.

"No matter who you lead, you will be at an absolute disadvantage against the Celestial Team. It's easier for him to escape alone." Chu Xuan asserted.

"I think so too," Imerton replied.

"...I still feel uneasy, but since you want to go...be careful." Zheng Zha urged.

"I understand. Pay attention when you meet Gandalf. He may know from the gods of this world that our identities are somewhat inappropriate. What I said at the time was that the situation is complicated, and we have no intention of deceiving. Everything will be given to him after the war. Tell me." Imerton smiled, cut off the connection, looked up at Gandalf again, and said, "I think I can catch up to Frodo."

The room fell silent.Gandalf turned to look at him, and after a while asked, "You understand the danger, don't you?"

Imerton looked into Gandalf's eyes and nodded slowly.

"No one would ask you to do this, just like no one would suggest that Frodo go to Mordor as a ring-bearer. However, the road itself may be dictated by fate, so it is full of meaning of end and end." Gandalf said softly Say, "Go, my friend. Hope to see you again after the war."

Emerton lowered his head and stroked his chest, bowed solemnly, and then he said, "Goodbye, my mentor."

The whirlwind rose into the sky, where the figure disappeared.

"We're stuck," Sam complained again, amidst the labyrinth of countless gray barren hills. "Three days, and we can't go down. Even after this hill, there's the rotting puddle. Mr. Frodo, Do you smell it?"

"Yes, Sam. I smell it." Frodo's voice was soft and weary in the twilight.

"That's where everybody walks, and that's where we're headed. What luck..." continued Sam.

Frodo sighed, and looked around.Here they go round and round, more than once in circles.Although the smell of the dead swamp was already very strong, he still couldn't tell how long it would take to get out...

In the field of vision, a yellow whirlwind passed by, turned around at a very far distance, and flew back slowly.Frodo cast a casual glance, and turned back to find his way.After a while, he turned his head abruptly and looked at the wind scroll. "Look, Sam." His voice tightened.

"Hey, that's Imerton," cried Sam cheerfully, and before Frodo could stop him, he had taken the cauldron off his back and banged it, "Imorton, here."

The whirlwind in the sky turned its head and came straight towards them.

Imerton landed, looking at Frodo with concern.The short ring-bearer was pale, with an unconcealable weariness in his alert expression.He smiled: "Gandalf felt that you decided to go alone, and he was very worried. He wanted me to come and protect you. If he knew that Sam was with you, he would be very comforted."

"Gandalf is alive?" Sam asked in surprise.

"Well, he almost died. In fact, he came back from the dead. According to Grantriel, his soul was out of his body for at least five to six days. In any case, the two kings of Los Lorraine healed He, changed him into white clothes, and gave him a new staff. He is now a wizard in white."

"Great! I knew this old guy wouldn't die so easily." Sam was very happy.

Frodo's smile was still bright and sincere. "That is good to hear. Where are the others?"

"I only met Merry and Pippin." Imerton said about Borromyer's death battle.

Frodo frowned slightly. "I wish you all well. Yet we must go on struggling in our own ways."

"Don't worry." Emerton comforted in a low voice, "Aragorn and Zheng Zha are here. Let's try our best to do our part. Now, let's rest for a night, and tomorrow I will send you outside Modo. If you enter If we don’t go, let’s find a way to make a detour.” Then, he looked around, walked to the edge of a boulder with a suitable shape, and pressed it with one hand.

The ground shook slightly for a while, and a cave appeared in front of him.

"Wow—" marveled Sam, "Mr Frodo, we don't have to worry about finding a place to sleep any more."

"After the battle with the Balrog, my control ability is indeed a little better." Imerton smiled, "Go in and rest now. Just hang your elf cloaks at the door, and no one will notice that we are inside."

They settled down in the newly formed cave, and had just laid down when there was a blood-freezing hiss outside.

"The Ringwraiths. It's the Ringwraiths." Sam muttered, with fear and despair in his voice.Frodo covered his ears with his hands, and curled up in a heap.

It was a long time before the two hobbits relaxed.At this moment Imerton said softly by the door: "It seems that the Lord of the Ringwraiths is watching the road to Modo. I'm afraid it will be difficult to enter through the main entrance. But you have to try first. Sleep peacefully, Here I am, tomorrow is another day."

Day two.

In the early morning, a small whirlwind drilled out of the mountain path, slid along the edge to the gravel ground below, and disappeared instantly, revealing three figures, one tall and two short.

The swamp in front is unobstructed, and the mountains on the outer edge of Modo can be vaguely seen on the opposite side.Emerton frowned: "There is no place to hide. It will be very troublesome if you encounter a ring spirit patrolling."

"But we must go," whispered Frodo.

Emerton thought for a while: "Or fly over in the shortest time; or detour east or west. We don't have an absolutely safe way."

"It's a terrible situation," Sam complained habitually, but he couldn't finish the sentence.

Behind them, a voice suddenly came out: "You are right."

The three of them suddenly turned around, and saw at the top of the hill, at some point, a man with flying hair appeared and looked down at them with a smile: "Celebrate, although it is very boring to me, but you finally
