How to break into a ring

The underground palace of Thranduil was modeled on the residence of Wang Tingol, the Sindar elf, long ago.

King Thingol lives in Menegroth (Palace of a Thousand Grottoes) in Dorias. Compared with Menegroth, the underground palace in the north of Mirkwood is much smaller now, because Thranduil is not like the ancient palace. He is as rich as the elf nobles of the ancients, and he does not have a large number of dwarves to dig caves for him.

Menegroth was a magnificent capital.

There is a world of difference between a city and a palace.

Therefore, the stream surrounding the hall is not very deep. It is just a pool surrounded by stone carvings and tree roots.The Lord of the Rings wasn't pushed far by the water. It wanted to roll, but the bottom of the pool was not smooth, and it got stuck in the crevice of the stones not too far away.

I'm really afraid of what's coming!

Fay has been stunned by this series of events.

He stared at Bilbo, wondering why the hobbit should have missed and fallen.The Lord of the Rings came off Bilbo's finger purely by instinct. Fay wanted to run away, but it was not the Anduin River where Isildur died.

How does the longest river in Middle-earth compare to the pool in Thranduil's palace?

So the Lord of the Rings stuck sadly.

It wasn't until Bilbo stood up tremblingly that Fay realized that the hobbit knew this elf from the Holy White Council, and called out his name accurately!

The wood elves looked at Bilbo warily, and did not let go of the bow and arrow in their hands.

Elrond looked directly at the angry Thranduil without flinching, and suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Thranduil's right shoulder, and said in an almost urgent voice: "How did Isildur die in the hands of half-orcs 3000 years ago?" Under the crossbow, haven't you heard of it?"

Thranduil's angry expression gradually turned into confusion, and then his eyes fell on Bilbo again, remembering the strange situation that Bilbo suddenly appeared just now.

Elrond took a step forward, bringing him closer to Thranduil.

His body leaned forward slightly, and the black hair hanging on his shoulders even covered Thranduil's blond hair. The two looked at each other. Elrond said in a very low voice in Thranduil's ear: "Sauron The Lord of the Rings appeared!"

"..."

Thranduil was taken a step back by the horrifying news.

Elrond turned his head and said sharply to the wood elf who didn't know what was going on, "Drain the water in the pool and don't touch anything in it!"

His serious expression and tone made the wood elves immediately realize the seriousness of the problem.

Thranduil quickly recovered from the bad news:

"Do as he says! Don't use spells!"

"Ada?" Legolas didn't hear exactly what Elrond said, but he could clearly see that his father was so shocked that his expression went blank after hearing it.

"Little Ye Zi, go back to your room, and don't come out without my order!" Thranduil was in a moody mood, and accidentally called out his son's nickname.

"Need not!"

Elrond immediately stopped him. He looked directly into Thranduil's angry eyes, and slowed down his tone: "Once the war starts, Legolas must know everything. He is your heir."

Thranduil was choked by this sentence, unable to refute, he could only turn his head to look at the pool that was gradually bottoming out, and did not force Legolas to leave.

The Silvan elves are all action-oriented. Let them chant spells slowly, it is better to do it directly, and the king directly ordered it not to be used. They simply brought the big bowls and empty wine barrels that they usually drink, and blocked the front and back drains. It didn't take long for the pool in the entire hall to dry up, and only two finger-deep pools of water remained in some corner depressions.

Elrond started his search from where Bilbo had fallen, and it was not long before he found the Ring stuck in a small crevice in the stone.

Fay stood there numbly, and he felt that his breathing was about to stop.

He thought of many terrible scenes, including the Lord of the Rings being thrown into the Doomsday Volcano, but he believed that Bilbo and the dwarves could escape successfully, because it was a long time after the Lord of the Rings was recognized by Gandalf.

The last time he chatted with Bilbo, he learned that Bilbo's nephew was not born yet!

How could the Lord of the Rings... have really been found?

Fay was a little dazed by the fact.

Elrond didn't reach out to take the Lord of the Rings out from the bottom of the water, he just slowly closed his eyes, took three steps back, and said to Thranduil, who had the same ugly expression, "It's it...that confused Isildur and killed him. His Ring!"

There are really not many people who can know the Lord of the Rings. Elrond may be the only person who has seen the Lord of the Rings and is still alive.

Because all wizards crossed the sea from the west to Middle-earth after Sauron's defeat.

"How did the Lord of the Rings appear in Mirkwood?"

Thranduil finally remembered Bilbo. He looked at the thief who broke into his palace and hid secretly for many days: "Very well, I think you can tell me, who are you? come to my country? You serve those disgusting orcs?"

"No no! That's not the case!"

Bilbo was so frightened that he hurriedly defended: "We walked through the Mirkwood under the guidance of Gandalf, but we lost our way!"

"Us?" Thranduil frowned, suddenly thinking of the group of dwarves.

Bilbo took a sneak look at the Elven King, and quickly moved a few steps in Elrond's direction: "Yes, there are thirteen dwarves in total, and they are locked in the dungeon by you! We traveled a long way from the Shire, and we passed by Rivendell before, Lord Elrond has seen us."

Fay finally remembered that Elrond was the important person who summoned humans, elves, and dwarves to discuss how to destroy the Lord of the Rings in Rivendell, the beautiful valley of elves many years later! !

At the same time, he also realized that if he hadn't appeared suddenly, Redagast would not have gone to the Holy White Council, and Elrond would not have come to Mirkwood.Bilbo wearing the Lord of the Rings will eventually rescue the dwarves, end this adventure, and return to Shire to live a leisurely life, until the secret of the Lord of the Rings is discovered by Gandalf——

"They are going to the lonely mountain to find the dragon's treasure."

Elrond succinctly told the secret of the dwarves.

Thranduil was surprised at first, and then laughed angrily: "Great! These dwarves... don't they think they can transport the treasure out of the Mirkwood without my permission? Let them continue to dream about the treasure in the dungeon Bar!"

"..."

Bilbo nodded earnestly. To be honest, he thought the Elven King was more difficult to deal with than the dragon!

"I believe your intentions for the time being, but you have not confessed how to obtain this evil treasure..."

Thranduil raised his hand, and the wood elves around immediately put away their bows and arrows, and left with puzzled expressions. Although they didn't understand what happened from the beginning to the end, it was obviously related to the dwarves they caught a few days ago!

troublesome fellow!

Yes, the king wants to discuss things with Lord Elrond of Rivendell, and they leave the palace to hunt in the forest. As for the food in the dungeon today, they decided to forget about it.

Looking at the empty hall in an instant, Bilbo tried his best to calm down and decided to tell the truth: "I don't know, I got this ring in the Misty Mountains!"

"Isildur died in Anduin, why did the Lord of the Rings appear in the Misty Mountains?"

To this day, the subordinates of the Holy White Council and the Demon King Sauron are still searching along the Anduin River!

"It's in the hands of a queer creature called Gollum."

Thranduil and Elrond frowned at the same time, they had never heard of the name Gollum.

Fay keenly felt that the atmosphere of these two noble and powerful elves standing together seemed very strange.There was a strange appearance that they knew each other very well, but tried their best to act as if they were strangers in front of Legolas.

Bilbo was still looking at the ring at the bottom of the pool, he was a little bit reluctant and unwilling.

"I want to know, what is this ring? Sorry, I know it's rude, and I don't intend to ask the elves' secrets, but it's just a ring that can make people invisible..." Bilbo said dryly.

Elrond rubbed his forehead with his fingers, sighed, and said to the hobbit: "It comes from the past like a nightmare, when darkness enveloped the entire Middle-earth continent. If Sauron, the devil king, gets the ring again, the darkness and terror will come again!"

"Then destroy it!"

Legolas, who had been silent all this time, suddenly pulled out Thranduil's sword.

"Boom!"

With a loud noise, the long sword almost fell out of his hand, but the Lord of the Rings was still stuck in the crevice of the stone and did not move.

This smash, on the contrary, woke Fay up.

The situation is not so bad that it cannot be undone! !

The Lord of the Rings possesses terrifying power, and is good at bewitching and distorting people's hearts. The more powerful a person is, the less able he is to resist this power.

So Elrond did not take up the ring, and he forbade the other elves from touching it.

Sauron is lurking in Dol Guldur in the Mirkwood. If Bilbo wants to leave safely with the Lord of the Rings, he must first drive Sauron out of the Mirkwood. This is not an easy task!

Although Thranduil was very dissatisfied with Bilbo, seeing that the problem was serious, he didn't say anything more. Elrond said goodbye to him in a hurry, and the etiquette seemed superfluous at this time.

"Bilbo, pick up the Ring, you can't leave here!"

Elrond put on his cloak again, and before he left, he warned Bilbo sternly: "Don't use it! You must remember that the Lord of the Rings wants to return to its true owner! That's why it chose you and came to the dark Jungle!"

certainly not!

Fay couldn't tell.

This left is also dead, right is also dead, how to break through life?

"That monster called Gollum, maybe it wasn't like that...you know what I mean, the Ring ruined him!" Elrond's words made Bilbo's face paler than the previous warning.

"There... I was told that the ring would bring bad luck, and he told me to throw it away... That was a strange man, I could see him when I wore the ring, but not now," stammered Bilbo. To put it bluntly, he had never encountered such a serious matter in his life, and his mind was already in chaos.

Elrond stopped suddenly.

His back in the cloak slowly turned around like this, his gaze was even more terrifyingly sharp: "What did you say?"
