The Fellowship of the Lord of the Rings - A Tale of the Elven King

After the gray-robed wizard left, Solo sat alone in the hall for a long time, then he got up and left the hall and returned to his bedroom. He pulled out a locked treasure chest from under the curtain beside his bed, and Solo opened it carefully. , inside lies an oval-shaped gemstone with five-color streamers, the size of a pigeon egg, each angle has been polished into many different small planes, each plane reflects a different color of luster, the whole gemstone is like a rainbow Dazzling, this gemstone was discovered in the underground mine not long ago.

But it is not hidden in the rocks like other gems. When it was first discovered, it was placed in this small box with a lock and buried underground. It was only the dwarves who discovered it by accident.

At that time, the dwarf who found the treasure chest first did not open it on the spot, but handed it to the respected king. Solo thought that the small chest was nothing special at first, because it was really light, and it didn’t look like it was filled with gold gems. So he just threw the box in the corner of the room and ignored it.

A few days later, because of a very accidental opportunity, the iron lock on the box that had been rusted for a long time fell off, and the treasure inside was discovered.

Solo was shocked by the beauty of this gem, so he polished the gem himself.The dwarves are masters with superb skills. Even as a king, Solo's skills are among the best among the dwarves. The already gorgeous gemstones are even more dazzling under his careful polishing. The mind is lost in its beauty.

No one knew that the proud dwarf king was so obsessed with a gem. Solo hid his treasure by his bedside like a beloved lover, and ordered that no one should enter his room. His treasure could only belong to He is alone, Solo has to look at it and touch it every day, and he calls his baby a rainbow gem...

At this time, Solo was gently stroking the rainbow gemstone in his hand, his eyes became more and more fanatical and obsessed, and he whispered to his beloved treasure:

"My baby, you belong to me alone, no one can take you away, we will be together forever, you must always stay by old Solo's side, my baby."

Solo thought he was hiding perfectly, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world. The birds on the lonely mountain were the first to discover his secret and began to sing their songs everywhere:

bang bang bang bang,

The dwarves of the subterranean are digging,

hey yo hey yo

They dug really hard,

ping pong pong,

Come and see what the dwarves have dug up,

Whoops whoops,

The old black box is ugly,

Oh My God,

The gems inside are beautiful indeed,

Bright as a rainbow,

Hey Hey,

Dwarves take care of their treasures,

Hide quickly, don't be found.

The brown-robed wizard Redagast was the first to get the news, and his bird friend always brought him the latest news.Of course, Redagast, who got the news, immediately told Gandalf the situation, and Gandalf was quite angry after hearing the news.

"I knew that dwarf was lying to me. He was still worried about his treasure. Sooner or later, the stubbornness and greed of the dwarves will teach them a painful lesson."

Redagast also agreed with him: "You are right. The dwarves only know how to dig holes and collect gold. The way they treat poor animals is not gentle at all. I don't like them."

Redagast paused and said again: "But, my old friend Gandalf, do you really think that the dwarves have dug up Sauron's treasure?"

"Yes, I think they did find something. According to your friends, it seems to be a gem." Gandalf thought, "And at that time, I did see Solo's surprised expression. There’s something wrong with that look.”

"However, the dwarves have made it clear that they don't want to disclose relevant information. How can we find out what the gemstone is?"

Is this question really the old wizard? He had no idea. After thinking for a while, Gandalf made up his mind and said to Redagast: "It seems that we can only ask Saruman for help. After all, he is most familiar with Sauron's past."

"But Saruman has already rejected you." Redagast said worriedly.

Gandalf sighed: "That can't be helped, go and try."

Redagast thought about it, and had to admit that they really had no other better way to solve this problem. In desperation, Gandalf could only go to Isengard.

A few days later, Saruman was surprised to see Gandalf reappearing in front of him, but he still received him warmly.

"Oh, dear old friend Gandalf, I am surprised that you have come to me for the second time in such a short time. Of course, you know that you are always welcome, but if you still want to talk about the last time Then there is no need for that question.”

"No, Saruman, I didn't come to argue with you. In fact, I came to ask you for advice. Have you ever heard of a gem, locked in a black box, related to Sauron?"

Saruman froze for a moment, and said after a while: "I don't know if you are referring to the thing I thought of, but I still want to tell you something. When Sauron was Maia, I and he Let's learn skills together from Aoli, the god of the earth. At that time, he once made a gem that was as dazzling and beautiful as a rainbow. Oh, no, maybe it should be said differently. It is not so much a gem as it is a magic stone. appropriate."

"Magic stone?"

"Yes, Sauron injected his own strength and desire into it, making the stone powerful. It can enable its holders to have the ability to go to heaven and earth, and it can also strengthen their magic power. He was very proud of his own. I am proud of the work, but in the end, Sauron still threw it away with his own hands."

"Why is that?" asked Gandalf.

"That thing is indeed very powerful, but Sauron's mana and skill are far inferior to the gods Vera, which makes it have great side effects when used. The holder is easily lost by the magic inside and loses himself, and the thing The power cannot be maintained for a long time, and it is uncertain when it will suddenly lose its effect. It can be called a failure. At that time, Sauron was not as bad as he is now, and he did not want his work to cause trouble for others. , and threw away your failed work. How did you remember to ask about this?"

"No, nothing, just heard some rumors."

"Oh, my old friend, you cannot always live by rumours, and let go of rumours, and come and drink a glass of fine wine with me to relieve the fatigue of your journey."

Gandalf readily agreed. "Well, it will be my pleasure."
