Chapter 353: The Gathering of Roadside Forts

"How to say, what's going on with Eisengard?"

In an open space outside the castle, the three of them found something to sit and rest, and held a brief meeting.

Facing Gandalf's question, Levi recalled and said, "It's very calm, a little weird. Saruman is not there, and there is no trace of the Ring Spirit."

"What can be confirmed is that the Black Barbarian defenders over there have rebelled. Now they obey Mordor. I have reason to suspect that something is wrong with Uruk there."

"This is really..."

"Feed to your own fruit." Gandalf said a more appropriate word for Li Wei.

"I have persuaded him well. Not only did he not listen, he also wanted to attack me."

Aragon said on the side, “This tells us that the 'wise' will also become foolish when their eyes are covered."

"The wise."

Gandalf said this word and felt resentful.

"Saruman is indeed very wise, but what is troublesome is that his wisdom is always not used on the right path."

"If he can listen to others' advice and put down his arrogant and mean attitude, things will not fall to this point."

As he spoke, Gandalf suddenly looked at him and his eyes stopped in Levi's hand.

"If I read it right, is it Saruman's ring?"

"I was about to tell you about this."

Levi took off the ring of stars and threw it into Gandalf's hand.

The departure of power made him feel a little disappointed, but he quickly adapted.

“I have some vague sense through this ring, but this sense is too vague for me, maybe you can interpret it.”

Gandalf frowned and looked at the flawless ring of stars in his hand.

There was a familiar force in this ring, the force that sent him out of the tower.

Pure, flawless, and faintly with such a hint of violence.

The adaptability with Saruman can be said to be quite high.

"That's what I'm talking about, Saruman's wisdom."

He put the ring in front of his eyes and said, "If we hadn't had a fight at that time, those ring spirits wouldn't have threatened Saruman at all."

"It's a pity that everything is too late."

"It's not too late."

Li Wei also looked at the ring and said, "There is still a chance to make up for it - have you felt the guidance I said?"

Gandalf thought for a moment and nodded slowly.

"East, east, east, east of the misty mountain range, a place where the sun is not visible."

"What's more specific?" Li Wei asked.

"It's not too far, nor very close, there is only one place that meets these characteristics."

Gandalf spits out a place name: "Black Forest, Dogurdu."

"It's about the same as what I guess."

Li Wei took the Ring of Stars and said, "The Ring Spirits are unlikely to bring him back to Mordor. The journey is too long and there is no way to cover up the movement."

"If they crossed somewhere airspace, there would be news, but neither our scout nor our allies saw anything."

"Well...it seems that the level of danger in Dogurdu needs to be improved by several levels."

"ah--!"

Just as the three of them were thinking about their next move, a scream of fear suddenly came from the side.

"What's wrong?"

Li Wei stood up and asked loudly.

"Dragon, there is a dragon!!"

The four hobbits were so anxious that they kicked their legs and hurriedly ran behind the three.

Li Wei could see the disgust in the eyes of the little fans from afar.

He didn't even look at the four people.

It looked like four hobbits woke him up.

Gandalf protected the four people and said, "Okay, don't be afraid, that's not the evil dragon in the story, that's the kind dragon raised by Li Wei himself, his name is Xiao..."

"Berhelden."

A voice came over.

Old Gandalf forced the taciturn little fan to speak.

"Well, his name is Beherdan."

Gandalf corrected immediately.

Aragon looked surprised.

"So little... Beherdan can speak, I haven't heard it once in decades."

“He just doesn’t like to talk.”

Li Wei explained: "Don't underestimate Xiao Fans, he has learned no less than yours."

"Besides, the little fan is a dragon. The dragon has a strong learning ability. Even if you don't go to school, you should learn it if you listen too much."

While waving his hand to push away the big claws that Xiao Fan pulled over, ignoring the anxious eyes of Xiao Fan and his big brain shaking left and right. Li Wei continued:

"And you think of the dragons that have been recorded before, including Smaug, who once occupied the Lone Mountains, Skasa, who drove away the dwarves and was killed by the ancestors of the Rohans, who could speak out, but But no one taught them to speak."

"Little fan?"

I have to say that several Hobbits will focus on the key points.

"Is that your name too?" Pi Ping turned his head at the first time.

The little fan also glared at him immediately, but his eyes were not fierce at all and had no deterrence.

Gandalf stood up and said, "Pipin, Behrdan is much older than you, and he is your elders."

"Don't call him a fan. That was his nickname when he was a child, and it no longer applies now."

"All right."

Pi Ping nodded in response, not sure if he really listened.

But after this battle, the fear of the little fans also dissipated. They surrounded the little fans curiously and talked to him.

But it was obvious that the little fan didn't seem to care about them very much. He buried his head in his wings in that plate, no matter what the people outside said, he just couldn't hear it.

It's noisy, it's annoying.

The most pleasing among this group of guests is the gray-robed wizard.

The little fan thought, but he was helpless.

The relaxation time under Maolong tree was quickly broken.

A ranger who returned from the front line came to Li Wei and brought some news.

This news made Li Wei frown.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision:

"Abandon Kahndoum and withdraw to the Great Wall."

"The old fortress that had lost its shelter from witchcraft has no defense at all, so there is no need to stay there."

"Let everyone withdraw, I'll go there in person and see what's going on."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Li Wei's expression change, Gandalf got up and came over.

"It's still the news about the snowy land in the Northern Wastelands, there are more and more active demon wolves and sheepmen north of Angma, and they can be seen almost everywhere."

"And in addition to these things, there are some strange and weird guys who appear."

"What?"

“Oak.”

"Oak, what's there to be surprised about?"

Gandalf was puzzled.

"It's just that Oak really has nothing to be surprised about."

Li Wei turned his head and signaled to the Ranger beside him to speak.

"They were wearing corrupt and worn armor, but they were more vicious than any Oak I've ever seen."

Ranger said to the two: "The Oaks on the snowfield look no different from ordinary Oaks, but I always feel that they are not rational. Although Oaks all look cruel and violent, the enemies of the past can communicate. .”

"And these Oaks in the North Wasteland, they are more like crazy."
