Zhao Mai thinks things are strange. At the meeting just now, Elrond did not seek his opinion on whether he should set out to cross the misty mountains immediately, which is somewhat unreasonable. It is true that Frodo is the commandant, Aragon is the adopted son of Elrond and the future king of Gondor, and Boromir is the current general of Gondor. But the king of the elves should know that he has the strongest fighting power among all people.


    With doubts in his heart, Zhao Mai and everyone came to Elrond''s residence. After pushing the door, he saw an old man sitting in it with a teacup in his arms, curling hot air over his gray hair and beard. Gandalf Frodo was so surprised that he pushed through the crowd and jumped into the old man''s arms.


    Gandalf chuckled and quickly put down his tea cup, then patted the halfling on the back. On his wrinkled face, there are still some unhealed scars. I believe there should be more wounds on his body. Gandalf did not mention the torture he suffered in Saruman, but asked about everyone''s situation with concern.


    "Oh, Frodo, I regret not being able to pick you up and let you go through so many hardships along the way. But fortunately, I did not forget Aragorn, and he did not forget my instructions. You met under the power of fate, and with the help of grofendell and tverdo, you finally got here


    "Saruman caught you. How did you get out?" Asked Frodo.


    "Oh, I''m really lucky. At the beginning, when Saruman decided to come here to attend Lord Elrond''s conference room, I was almost disillusioned, thinking that all hope had disappeared. But when I saw him return angrily later, I knew that you successfully arrived at ravendale and the Lord of the rings appeared, but for some reason saluman didn''t get it. I was so excited at that time that I tried to control myself and not cry for joy. " Gandalf, with soft eyes and a smile, said: "because of anger, Saruman decided to continue to torture me, so he locked me at the top of the tower of oshankta, where only magic can go up and down. No one expected that Guan he, the eagle king, would visit in a few days. He was going to ask Saruman how to deal with Sauron''s cultivation of the evil dragon, but he saw me first. I implore him to take me away from the tower, and he is powerful enough to take off and land in the magic of the top. "


    Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "however, Guan he was also injured. He couldn''t take me over the mountain to ravendale, so I asked him to put me in Rohan. Guan he went back to heal, and I found a steed in Luohan and rode all the way. That''s my story. "


    "Not worse than ours at all!" Frodo said, "are you here to join the ring guard? It would be great to have you here! "


    Zhao Mai nodded and admitted that Frodo''s words were very reasonable. Although Gandalf is not in good health at present, he has a strong power of light, and the will of the world protects and cares for him. Although this force is not as good as the Lord of the rings, it is also enough to resist and protect Frodo''s good heart from being hurt. This is very important because Frodo is the ring bearer. He is directly influenced by the ring, and his every move will directly affect the success or failure of this mission.


    Although the ring was made of insect heart, Zhao Mai can only use it to protect himself, Z insect, and at most reserve grain and flowers. He can let the dark forces not affect his own people, but he can''t dispel the influence that has already been produced.


    "It''s great to have you. It can greatly increase our chances of winning! By this time, Saruman is already furious! " Zhao Mai said with a smile.


    Gandalf looked at Zhao Mai and nodded with a smile. "I''m definitely going to join the ring guard. I''ve missed your previous heroic story. How can I miss the rest? But there''s one thing I need to say to tverdo


    "Me?" Zhao Mai''s mind turns around. What can it be?


    "I''ve discussed with Elrond, and I hope you can carry out a dangerous task. We hope you can act as bait to distract the enemy''s attention. "


    "Just a moment. Show me the map." Zhao Mai said to Elrond. The elf Lord took out his map from his sleeve and gave it to Zhao Mai. It not only showed the terrain, but also the latest situation of enemy and ourselves. Zhao Mai looked at the picture, moving his fingers on the city and mountains, and then said, "that is to say, I will not follow the ring guard team?"


    Elrond nodded and said, "yes. We hope that you and griffindale will join us and make a breakthrough to the south to attract saluman''s attention, mobilize his army and buy time for the ring guard team. "


    "Strategic deception, right? It''s really a good idea. Saluman would not have thought that grosvendale and I, such an elite force, were just used to cheat people. But even if he had doubts, he had to besiege us. " Zhao Mai nodded. During the Normandy landing in the Second World War, the most famous American general Barton frequently appeared in Dover, England, to lure the German garrison to put its strategic direction on the wrong coast of Calais, so as to relieve the pressure on the real battlefield of Normandy. "But I don''t know if you think about it. Saruman knows Gandalf has escaped, and he also knows Gandalf''s importance in the Lord of the rings, so if he doesn''t see Gandalf, he won''t be fooled. I''m just a tough hitter at best. ""We''ll have Gandalf dressed up, too. He was tortured, hurt, and lost the ring of fire. He didn''t need to fight, so he won''t be exposed easily. An elf child will dress up as a halfling, which is also used to confuse the enemy. "


    "Little elf? Must not be an adult? " Zhao Mai waved his hand: "this is not good. I''ll solve this problem. Just make up my entourage as Frodo. "


    "Sure enough, you are not affected by the ring at all. Even if you want to leave the ring, you can promise immediately?" Gandalf''s face was full of surprise: "I have studied a lot of literature and stories, and those who have held the ring will be affected more or less."


    "The impact does exist, but it''s not enough." Zhao Mai doesn''t want to show off his worm heart ring, so he doesn''t talk about this topic in detail. "In fact, I really want to stay in the ring guard team, and I didn''t say at the meeting just now that I can break through saluman''s army. I don''t worry about any opponents except Solon and the ring. "


    "But I''m worried." Gandalf said: "the Lord of the rings brings brutality, deception and a lot of dark power, and it can grow stronger in this power. Before, it was in Gulu''s hands, hiding deep in the misty mountains, far away from right and wrong; later, it was kept by Bilbo in shire, where there was also a lack of dark power, which greatly delayed soron''s recovery. I''m worried that if we use violence all the way to fight for justice and victory, in the end, this road will lead to the evil black tower rather than the doomsday volcano. "
