The 293rd Chapter Red Robe Witch (2)

In the Morgul Valley woodland in the north of Ithilien, in this piece of forest that has been withered due to the influence of the volcanic ash of Mordor and the black magic of Sauron, there are two hobbits wearing elf cloaks and A strange humanoid creature that was almost completely naked, with only a tattered loincloth on its crotch, was slowly marching towards Mordor.

It turned out that these three people were Frodo Baggins, the ring-bearer of the original Lord of the Rings expedition, his gardener Samwes Gange, and after being captured by the two, they had to use a sharp knife to kill them. In the name of the Baby Lord of the Rings, he swears that he will lead the way and take them both to Mordor and to Gollum, the monster at Mount Doom.

Before that, they were captured by a group of Gondor's ranger troops east of the Anduin River, by the Gondor general, Faramir, the son of the Prime Minister and Regent of Gondor, and brought them to the south. Osgilias!

That Faramir, after knowing their identities, actually wanted to bring Frodo and the Lord of the Rings to Gondor, to his father, the regent Denethor?

But in the back, when I saw the Ringwraith knights riding monsters like flying dragons, really chasing the Lord of the Rings, and kept flying and searching above the western city of Osgilias, I didn't want to Faramir, who brought the danger to Gondor, finally released Frodo, Sam, and Gollum, who led the way, after thinking for a long time, and let the three sneak away from the sewer of the west city of Osgiliath .

Later, Sam and Flo were brought here by Gulu, the leading party!

According to the weird-looking Gollum, they only need to bypass Minas Morgul, cross the Iphildus Mountains from the Spider Pass trail and enter the Gorgoroth Basin, and then they can see and go directly to the Doomsday Volcano.

Of course, there is another premise here, that is: when entering the Gorgoroth Basin, don't be caught by those patrolling half-orcs! After all, the Gorgoroth Basin is the core area and back garden of Mordor, so there shouldn't be too many orcs in it!

"Come on! Come on you, little hobbits!"

A dozen yards ahead, Gollum, who was walking on all fours, kept turning his head to greet the two hobbits who had fallen behind.

"We shall be there soon, Mordor, and it is not far!"

Here, it is indeed not far from Mordor! From time to time, they can even feel the terrifying vibration caused by the eruption of Mount Doom or the unleashing of evil magic in Minas Morgul!

The closer to Mordor, the more Frodo and Sam could feel the evil and terror in this land...

There is no trace of vegetation in the stretch of black in the distance! Right now, those mountains that have been completely burned into black by the volcanic ash and high temperature of Doomsday Volcano are already in sight. They only need to climb over the mountains, and inside is Mordor!

"It's not safe here, hurry up! Little hobbits, if you don't want to be caught by orcs..."

Gollum was caught by the orcs of Mordor and tortured for a while, but he never wanted to fall into the hands of those demons again! She still has a deep memory of the torture methods used by the other party to make her feel so painful, unable to survive, and unable to seek death, and she never wants to try it again!

"Hurry up and keep up!"

Like a wild beast, he crawled quickly on the ground full of ashes with hunched hands and feet. While looking around vigilantly, Gulu would stop from time to time to greet the two slow-moving hobbits behind him. people.

Gollum might have left them all, and gone far away by himself, had not his own beloved treasure been still on the hobbit called Frodo!

Although it has been tortured by the Lord of the Rings to become inhuman, Gulu will never bring his beloved Lord of the Rings to Mordor! When the treasure is in hand, it will definitely take its treasure to the north, to the north of the Misty Mountains,

Even to the north of the Gray Mountains, anyway, it must be far away from Mordor!

"Master's baby..."

While stopping to wait for the hobbit, Gollum's eyes unconsciously moved to the neck of Frodo who was walking behind with his head bowed.

"No! That's our baby!"

"It's mean Bilbo Baggins, who stole the treasure! It's ours, our treasure..."

"Vile, shameful hobbit!"

"That's right..."

"Those damned hobbits, they're all thieves, liars, who stole our treasure!"

"We must find a way to get it back..."

After running fast on hands and feet again for a certain distance, Gulu squatted on a rock like this, and while waiting for the two hobbits behind to catch up, he actually used a vicious expression and a different tone to say hello. Talking to himself in a low voice, as if talking to another person?

Although Gulu scolded the hobbit so much, in fact, Gulu was originally a hobbit.

He originally came from the Stoors, one of the three branches of the Hobbit. He was born in Romanian, and his original name was Smeagol, not Smaug. Don't get it wrong! In the early days, Sméagol lived with his grandmother's relatives on the great plain near Loningradron.

What happened at the beginning was like this: one day more than five hundred years ago, on the day of Smeagol’s birthday, he and his relative Dego went fishing on the Gladden Plains north of the Roselolin Forest. Ge was dragged into the river by a big fish, and after discovering the Supreme Lord of the Rings, everything began to change...

In order to get the magical treasure of the Lord of the Rings discovered by De Ge, Smeagol strongly asked De Ge to give him the ring as a birthday present! However, such a good treasure, but looking at it in the palm of his hand, how could De Ge, who was already deeply attracted, fall into this evil trick of Smeagol?

Therefore, De Ge sternly rejected him! In De Ge's view, what about the other party's birthday? A birthday is a big deal, isn't it? Can you make such an excessive request on your birthday?

De Ge felt that if he gave a gift, it was due to affection; if he didn't give it, it was also his duty! Where is this kind of extortion of property in the name of birthday?

Therefore, the shrewd De Ge refused this unreasonable request from his brother Smeagol without hesitation! As for the birthday gift, the other party can just pick a live fish from the bucket, just a little bit of fun!

Then, naturally, Smeagol, who had been deeply fascinated by the precious ring, became angry from the heart, and the evil turned to the guts, since his good brother Dego didn't even give himself this bit of face , then their brothers have nothing to do!

Therefore, he thought of the only good way to get the ring smoothly, and that was - grab it by force!

So soon, in the fierce fighting and scrambling between the two sides, Smeagol, who struck first, successfully strangled his brother Dego, and got the Supreme Lord of the Rings from the opponent's hand as he wished. his baby...

After disposing of the corpse, in the following days, Sméagol, who was gradually corroded and distorted by the Lord of the Rings, began to become greedy and lazy.

For example: he used the Supreme Lord of the Rings to steal food and property, or used the invisibility function to spy on the beautiful girls in the Hobbit taking a bath? And a variety of vicious but pleasant behaviors such as some kind of night raid?

Smeagol, who has not found the correct way to use the Lord of the Rings, or in other words, is this the correct way to use the Lord of the Rings? Anyway, shortly afterwards, what he did was quickly discovered by the crowd of Zhou people and reported it in time!

His crimes were quickly uncovered and he was arrested by Loningrad when angry Stoors stormed his house, and when people found stolen money, food, and the intimate belongings of certain women in his house. The Stoors of Long were expelled from the gathering place of the tribe, accused of evil, murder, theft, and other unspeakable crimes, and left them to fend for themselves outside the wilderness!

In desperation, Smeagol, who had nothing but the Lord of the Rings and no other powers, could not resist, so he ran to a cave in the Misty Mountains and lived in seclusion.

Under the influence of the negative power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, his body and mind were slowly distorted, and he lived a life that drank stream water when he was thirsty, ate insects, fish, birds and beasts when he was hungry, and used the ground as a bed when he was sleepy. A low-carbon and environmentally friendly life that takes the sky as its basis.

So, hundreds of years have passed like this, and the power of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, except for greatly prolonging his life and splitting his personality, he has actually gained nothing...

And today, Sméagol no longer remembers his original name, it only knows that it is called Gollum, and it will try to get back its treasure from the two hobbits behind it. Bo Baggins stole the treasure...

Of course, this matter, it has to plan slowly, and it can't be forced to do it anymore!

Because, having tried it, it found a very frustrating thing: In terms of force, it seems to be far from being the opponent of the two hobbits with less than five fighting powers? This is really a very bad thing!

"Here, Mr. Frodo! You have a little first..."

After looking at the Gollum in the distance, Sam pursed his lips with dry lips. While tightening his rucksack, he turned towards Frodo, who had just woken up and was not in a good state of mind. Handed over half of the elf's magic biscuit Lambas.

They only need to eat this kind of elf biscuit that contains the vigorous vitality of Aman Continent. A small piece or half of it can provide the eater with plenty of physical strength and life energy, which is comparable to some compressed biscuits. Much stronger.

"What about you, Sam, why don't you eat a little?"

After taking a bite of the biscuit and starting to walk slowly after Gollum ahead of him, Frodo also wondered why he didn't see Sam eating breakfast?

"I'm not hungry yet, at least, I may not like this kind of elf Lambas..."

Swallowing, and thinking about the few biscuits left in his backpack, Sam thought about it, but still refused.

Now, Frodo, who bears the Lord of the Rings, must need nutrition and energy more than himself, whether it is physical or mental torture, so Sam decided that he would eat a little every day and only when he was sleeping at night. OK.

"Sam..."

Hearing the other party say so, and looking at the fat face and chapped lips that had become thinner, Frodo seemed to understand something.

How could they hobbits not eat breakfast? When they were in Shire, they ate several meals a day! What's more, the elf biscuit Lambas is definitely not on the same level as unpalatable. He believes that no hobbit would be willing to refuse this kind of delicacy!

"Well, actually we don't have much left...we have to save some money, otherwise, there won't be enough to eat!"

"You'd better eat quickly, don't worry, I've already divided it up, it should be enough..."

Thinking about the round-trip journey, Sam felt that as long as they left enough rations in these desolate areas of Mordor, they should be able to get food from other places when they returned.

"Enough for what?"

Frodo was still a little confused about Sam's plan. Those biscuits should be enough for the two of them to eat up to Mount Doom, right? Then why keep it?

"Of course I left enough to eat on the way home!"

On the contrary, Sam looked at Frodo in astonishment. Now he secretly kept his rations, just so that he could have something to eat on the return trip, so that he wouldn’t be hungry. Otherwise, something big would really happen!

"..."

I don't know why, but Frodo suddenly became a little depressed when he heard Sam's words.

Because, he felt that some kind of change was taking place in his own body, and he even faintly felt that he seemed to be a little different?

Thinking about Gulu now, he felt that even if they finally fulfilled their mission and destroyed the Supreme Lord of the Rings, he himself would probably never be able to return to Shire...

This feeling...strange...like, he doesn't belong there anymore? This is also the reason why he has a feeling of sympathy for Gulu and is more friendly to it.

Frodo felt that he was no better than this Gollum? Perhaps, he is far inferior to his uncle Bilbo Baggins?

His uncle had kept the Lord of the Rings for so long without any major incidents, but what about him...

"Little Hobbit!?"

"What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and speed up your steps, it's not safe here!"

Just when Frodo and Sam were about to say something, Gollum, who was leading the way and had been waiting impatiently for a long time, urged in a low voice again.

...

"Mordor..."

"And... hobbits?"

"Hmph, yes! That's it, hurry up and run, hobbit..."

"Go to Doomsday Volcano, and then, throw down the Supreme Lord of the Rings, and your mission will be completed..."

On the top of the mountain not far behind the two hobbits and Gollum, there was a tall human or elf wearing a black cloak and a hood. He was hiding beside a tall tree trunk, staring coldly at the three small figures who were walking in the dense forest that had been burned by the flames.

"And by that time, my mission will be completed! Heh heh..."

"Don't worry, master...you will be out soon..."

There were bursts of old sneers, and the man watched the hobbits calmly disappear into the dense forest full of ashes, and turned away after a long while.

————

"What were you talking about just now!?"

"You scoundrels, you still want to take back my Orthank mage tower? No way! Don't even think about it!"

A burst of angry little girl screamed, making the originally friendly atmosphere suddenly awkward again.

At this time, in the living room on the second floor of the Orthanc Tower, when old man Gandalf vaguely expressed that he wanted to take back the legacy that originally belonged to the Holy White Council, little Anne jumped up from her seat on the spot , and rebuffed loudly.

After sitting back in her seat angrily, Annie began to guard against the wizard, a human and an elf in front of her like a thief.

Sure enough, this bad old man, she was on the tower before, and when she heard them speak ill of her behind her back, she knew that they definitely had no good intentions in coming here!

Looking at it now, they really wanted to make trouble! This old man Gandalf actually wants to take this mage tower from Annie herself? Give him a hundred courage to take it away and try it!

Once annoyed by her words, Annie felt that turning her face must be faster than turning a book!

"Annie, listen to me first."

"This Isengard was built by the Númenorans back then. It was originally a military fortress belonging to the Kingdom of Gondor, but later, the prime minister of Gondor allowed Saruman, then the speaker of the Holy White Council, to use it... "

Seeing that the little girl seemed to be showing signs of going crazy, Gandalf quickly explained.

"Although Saruman has fallen and been wiped out, the tower of Orthank here still belongs to the kingdom of Gondor in terms of ownership! And if Gondor has no will to take it back, then It should also be handed over to our Holy White Council for management?"

In fact, Gandalf didn't have to take back the tower.

He also knew that he might never get this tower back! And the reason why he said this now is just to put forward an impossible condition to discuss first, and then, when he changes to another one, will he not be rejected too quickly?

This, in fact, is a small skill of negotiation.

"Holy White Council? What is that? I don't know it!"

What I snatched, unexpectedly an organization I don't know wants to pick the fruit?

Annie felt that they must have not woken up, right? She herself will not admit to the Holy White Council of Lao Shizi! So what does it matter to me? Why should Annie give them back what she snatched by herself?

"Well……"

"This Holy White Council was composed of the white-robed wizard Saruman who was eliminated by you, myself, and the brown-robed wizard Redagast, Cirdan the shipbuilder, and Galadriel at the beginning of the third era. Founded by the Queen and Elrond..."

When the Holy White Council was first established, Queen Galadriel originally wanted Gandalf to be the speaker, but Gandalf rejected it, and then Saruman in white robes became the chairperson.

For Saruman's fall and demise, until now, Gandalf still feels a little embarrassed. He was the most powerful among the five wizards who came to Middle-earth, but now, he said nothing?

"I don't know! Anyway, I will never admit that you are called the Holy White Council! You are an illegal organization!"

"This tower, I snatched it from that Saruman, if you want to take it back, it's not impossible! Unless, you can exchange it with a better tower?"

If the other party can exchange it with a taller, bigger and more beautiful mage tower, maybe Anne can reluctantly return it to them?

"Illegal organization..."

Why did the Holy White Council, which was composed of Maya and the most influential high-level elves in Middle-earth, become an illegal organization when it came to this little girl?

"The Holy White Council has a very long history, and it is respected and recognized by the people of Middle-earth! Including us Silvan elves, dwarves, and humans!"

After looking at each other with Aragorn for a while, before Gandalf could continue to speak, the elf prince Legolas took the lead in refuting.

"What business does that have to do with me? I say it's illegal, so it's illegal!"

Annie felt that anything that was not recognized by her was illegal! Since it is illegal, it is necessary to ban it! This perfect way to deal with problems was what she learned from the Heitan-headed chief during her meeting in New York!

Declare an organization illegal, and then attack the other party and take away the other party's money, station and books? !

"Okay, let's not talk about the tower."

If there was a better mage tower, would he trade it for Gandalf?

On the side of Gray Harbor, there are three white towers used by elves to guard the crystal of true knowledge, but the elves will not and cannot exchange them, neither can Gandalf, he is not stupid !

"Some of Saruman's items, one of which is very recognizable is the crystal ball of true knowledge..."

The crystal of true knowledge, which can directly communicate with the demon king Sauron, Gandalf thinks, in order to prevent this little girl from being influenced by Sauron, it is better to recycle it?

He didn't want to see another witch in red robe who was seduced by Sauron and became corrupted. Saruman in white robe was a lesson from the past!

And now, this little girl's power is much stronger than that Saruman! If something like that happens, then it will be really terrible...

"Crystal ball of true knowledge? Never seen it before!"

Annie didn't know what a crystal ball of true knowledge was. Now that thing, it's called Annie's crystal ball, must not be what they were looking for!

"Almost all the items were burned by me, and for those that were not burned, you can go to the garbage dump below and look through it yourself, maybe you can still find it?"

Is there any reason to return what you fancy? If you want a tall tower, you still want that fun crystal ball? Let them dream!

Annie put away all the things she liked, and the things she didn't like were indeed burned or thrown under the tower. If they wanted, they could really go there Packed and taken away in the garbage dump!

"..."

have to! Now, Gandalf understood that the crystal ball of true knowledge must never be taken back! In this case, let's go straight to the topic. This little girl seems to be very impatient, and it's not good to procrastinate.

"Okay, now let's talk about one last thing..."

After sitting upright and taking a slow breath, Gandalf looked seriously at the little girl on the main seat.

"Now, the Kingdom of Gondor is facing the threat of Mordor, and Middle-earth is at its most critical moment!"

"I received some information before. It is said that the demon king Sauron is gathering an army, and the shadow erupting from the Doomsday volcano is gradually covering the west? Once Sauron is ready, he will attack the capital of Gondor. Minas Tirith, I believe that this time will not be too long... At that time, once Gondor falls, the whole world of Middle-earth will be in danger!"

"I don't know, will the United Kingdom of Alicia under your command send troops to rescue and fight against Mordor together?"

Gandalf intends to start with this matter first, and he should be able to see the general attitude of the other party.

Now the north of Middle-earth is basically a foregone conclusion, and the center of gravity should begin to shift to the south. Now Gondor has reached the critical point of life and death. Once the army of Mordor attacks the Anduin River, it is estimated that it is not far from extinction. It won't be too far, right?

The day before yesterday, in the castle of Helm's Deep, Gandalf had discussed this matter with King Theoden of Rohan, but the other party's attitude was very firm!

The stubborn King Theoden even kept saying: When Rohan was in trouble and bullied by the orcs, the people from the Kingdom of Gondor did not show up, so Rohan would not take the initiative to send troops to help Gondor. The Hussars of Rohan actually owe nothing to Gondor!

Moreover, that stubborn hussar king finally used the United Kingdom of Alicia as a cover, and said that he would not send troops without the order of Queen Alicia?

However, when Gandalf asked the queen he couldn't see through, the other party said cunningly that she wouldn't send troops casually without her master's order?

So, this is the main reason why Gandalf finally came to Isengard and asked to meet the little red-robed witch girl in person.

"Wait first!"

"I would like to ask, venerable Lord Gandalf, the gray-robed saint, what identity did you use to request reinforcements from our country? Is it the Holy White Council you mentioned? Is it representing the elves? Or Gondor?"

At this time, Alicia's new general Reinas, who had been standing aside and never spoke, finally spoke.

She didn't understand, this Gandalf, he doesn't seem to be the leader of any country or any force, right? Then he came here to ask for reinforcements, for whom? Or, who was tasked with it?

She just heard it from the sidelines, this Gandalf, and the ranger and elf, the three of them seem to have a bad relationship with the owner of their own queen, and the red robe witch, right?

Then, here comes the question: Since the relationship between the two sides has not reached that level, then why do they come here to ask for Dingxi and open their mouths to ask for reinforcements?

Who do they represent? Which country, or which force sent the envoy?

"..."

"We come on behalf of the kingdom of Gondor! We come on behalf of the people of Middle-earth!"

Gandalf was taken aback for a moment, his face flushed a little, and he was almost speechless when he was refuted by these words.

However, he thought about it, looked at the elf prince next to him, felt that he seemed unable to represent the elves, and then looked at Aragorn next to him. After looking at the future emperor for a while, he immediately became confident stand up.

"This is really funny!"

Hearing this, Reinas also froze for a moment, and almost stopped laughing!

If they can represent the people of Middle-earth, maybe they, the United Kingdom of Alicia, are more qualified to say it? Now, the dwarf forces are also discussing the suitability of joining the union! It can be said that, apart from the elves, they, Alicia, can represent the people of the entire Middle-earth world!

As for Gondor... Reinas thinks that this matter should be handled by the people of Gondor, right?

So, she smiled and clapped her hands, indicating that some people who had been waiting for a long time can come out.

"Ha! When exactly..."

"You, Mithranda, can represent our Kingdom of Gondor? Why, as the regent and prime minister of Gondor, I don't know at all?!"

At this time, the mahogany door leading to the upper floor of the Othank Tower suddenly opened, and a heroic man in a tight black aristocratic dress with his hair tied behind his back walked in with sharp eyes.

Looking at it, he is about sixty or seventy years old?

However, it was obvious that this man had a very good spirit, with a ceremonial long sword pinned to his waist, he was tall and majestic, and he had a demeanor that was not inferior to that of Hussar King Theoden!

Behind him, who was a little behind two steps, was an equally heroic but younger human man.

"You are... Denethor? And... Faramir? You, how could you be here?!"

Seeing these two people suddenly, Gandalf was so frightened that he stood up in surprise on the spot. What happened now was completely beyond his expectations!

"Hmph! Are you surprised that I can appear here?"

"Gandalf... Although you are very smart, you are obviously not smart... Don't you really want me to appear here? Then, you can try to find ways to seize my Kingdom of Gondor?!"

After Denethor came in, he first bowed respectfully to the little red-robed witch on the main seat, then looked at Gandalf with a sneer, and said disdainfully while shaking his head.

"Your Gondor?!"

"I don't remember either, the Kingdom of Gondor belongs to your Anorian collateral family! You are only the prime ministers of Gondor, the regents, not the kings! You will never be kings!"

After hearing Denethor's words, Gandalf's face was very ugly, and then he took two steps forward and asked Denethor loudly.

"You are right!"

"Gondor does not belong to me, and my descendants and I will never become kings! However, Gondor will definitely not belong to him!"

Pointing coldly at the ranger who was standing behind Gandalf and staring at the equally ugly-faced ranger with his hand, Denethor said loudly.

"We Gondor will never bow to a northern ranger, never!"

Just staring coldly at Gandalf and the ranger in front of him with his head upright, Denethor did not flinch at all.

"He is just a member of the declining royal family in the north!"

"And our Kingdom of Gondor belongs to our Royal Family of Anarion, not the descendants of Isildur! The descendants of Isildur, they have no right to try to get involved in the kingship of the Kingdom of Gondor!"

This sentence, Di Naiser said it can be said to be justified!

That's right, although Denethor is only a collateral member of the Anarian royal family, not a direct descendant, he is not qualified to inherit the throne!

But, anyway, he can be regarded as a descendant of Anarion, can't he? As long as Gondor is still in his hands, it can be said that it is still in the hands of Anarion's descendants!

But, what about this Aragorn, what kind of onion is he, and he still wants to plot against Gondor? Dream it!

He is the son of Isildur, not the son of Anarion! If he has the ability, he will inherit his Arno Kingdom?

What if the so-called Northern Arno Kingdom still exists?

How is it now, after seeing their Arnor finished for many years, so he wanted to attack their Anarion royal family inheritance, the idea of ​​the Kingdom of Gondor? This matter must have been planned by Gandalf, right? Over the years, this old man has made a lot of fuss about this matter!

Moreover, Denethor felt that the death of his eldest son Boromir was definitely related to this old man Gandalf! Otherwise, why is everyone in The Lord of the Rings Fellowship okay? Just his eldest son who opposed Aragorn went out and died?

He confirmed it with the red-robed witch yesterday. The two hobbits who are still alive outside have some kind of blessed magic bonus? So, is it not in his dead son? Even, there is an opposite curse? !

Although there is no real evidence for this matter, he swears that this matter will never end!

Anyway, as long as Denethor is still alive, as long as their Anarion royal family is not extinct, then Aragorn will never come to Gondor to become king! If he has the ability, he will live for another few hundred years, and wait until Anarion's collateral descendants are extinct?

Now he, Denethor, is only sure of one thing: the descendants of Isildur have no right to claim to be the king of Gondor!

"Denethor! You have no right to refuse the coming of a legitimate king! Don't forget that Aragorn is also the direct descendant of Elendil!"

Hearing this, Gandalf was really angry and scared!

This Denethor, why did he appear here at this time, and he still looks so energetic? Hadn't he been tortured by Sauron long ago, half dead and insane? Why is it resurrected in place now?

"Hmph! In fact, I have this right! Because I am the legal regent of Gondor!"

"Moreover, I am also a descendant of Elendil!"

"As for Isildur, ever since he went north to the Kingdom of Arno and officially handed over the succession of Gondor to his younger brother Anarion's direct son, Melandil, he and his descendants have never been able to ask Gondor again. Duo's business! I am very sure about this!"

"Do you not, Aragorn the son of Arathorn? Chieftain of the Dundan?"

Denethor sneered, and looked at a certain ranger who didn't seem very good-looking.

After being the regent of Gondor for so many years, what kind of person has he never seen? In terms of eloquence and sophistry alone, how could he be afraid of this Gandalf who can only engage in intrigue? So what if the other party can make trouble? With the military and political power in his hands, he just refused to hand over the royal power. Could this old man still eat himself?

Besides, now, he, Denethor, is also a person with an extraordinary backstage! He doesn't like this old wizard at all!

"Your Excellency Witch Anne! Excuse me, this person, why did he appear here?!"

After feeling that things seemed to have completely exceeded his plan, Gandalf could only question the little girl who might be the instigator angrily.

Now, things have become complicated and difficult to handle!

"Oh... you mean him?"

"That was the day before yesterday. After I got the crystal ball of true knowledge, when I tried to use it, I saw him using it..."

"Then, I found out that he was so pitiful. He was so tormented by Sauron's mental coercion that he was so nervous. I felt soft-hearted for a moment, so I opened a portal and asked him to come over and help him heal his mental trauma!"

Pointing her lips with her finger, Annie thought about it, she didn't even know why she showed kindness at that time, maybe it was because she was in a good mood? That's about it, right?

But no matter what, after saving the old man, Alicia United Kingdom's income is quite good! The Gondor Kingdom of the other party agreed to join their Alicia not long ago today!

Annie felt that it was a good deal to save a person casually, and easily obtain the joining of a kingdom. Anyway, it was just a matter of convenience at the time, and it didn't take much trouble!

"The crystal ball of true knowledge? Didn't you just say that it has been burned?!"

He froze for a moment, and then, he suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help asking loudly. He heard it very clearly before, the other party clearly said that the crystal ball of true knowledge was burned!

"Huh?! Did I say something just now? You must have misheard, there is no crystal ball!"

Hearing the little girl say such words in such a serious manner, Gandalf was so angry that he almost bleed out.

With his lips trembling like that, he looked at Denethor for a while, and then turned his head to look at the little girl sitting on the main seat, not knowing what to do.

He suddenly felt that he himself had fallen into a big conspiracy? Then, was played by this little witch, and by Denethor and the queens named Ofina? !

"There is no crystal ball of true knowledge!"

(…)

That's right, that's it. After realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, Annie immediately turned on the denial mode.

"..."
