Chapter 753 It is necessary to contact the masses (monthly ticket nine hundred
Zhao Mai went north and south to the same route, but the situation was different. When he went north, he was just an ordinary elf traveler, but when he went south, he became the protector of the Supreme Lord of the Ring and would inevitably usher in more attention and threats.
Of course, Saruman's clumps are not infinite and cannot be supplemented so quickly. Now the people who inform him are local residents. In everyone's eyes, Saruman, who appears in the image of an old man, is a representative of wisdom and majesty. All he wants is everyone to provide him with some fun stories, an old, weak, and inconvenient person. As for the elves, they usually have peace with everyone at Rivendell, and they are happy to get along, but suddenly they will appear in groups of warriors and riders. What are they doing?
Saruman is very good at bewitching people's hearts, and the powerful orcs he controls are more like machines under magic transformation and obey orders. These powerful orcs only deal with elves and do not harass the local villages and towns, so the villagers and towns do not feel the threat. They do not want to believe that the danger has arrived and only cares about whether their little lives are healthy. There are only autonomous villages and towns in this area, without kings and great lords, so their eyes are limited to towns and farmland areas. In the past, there was a big vision here, and at that time they belonged to Gondor. Now, Gondor himself has no king.
Therefore, Zhao Mai and his group always encounter various gazes, most of which are friendly and curious. They have no intention of hurting Zhao Mai, but they have no intention of keeping them secret. Some people have been bribed by Saruman and have been his eyeliner for a long time. Zhao Mai can feel a hint of greed from their gazes.
"When you arrive at the town in front, you will leave the Xiangshui River and go straight south. The Gelanduin River is right in front of us. During the dry winter season, the river can wader directly, and then according to the current slow movement, it will take several days to reach the near-Heimandi to find Lord Glenfindale. Our last chance to replenish the supply is right in the town in front, but are we still not going in?"
"Yes. I decided not to replenish supplies in any village along the way." Zhao Mai said: "After eating the food on our body, we will replenish supplies along the way. If I am there, I will never be hungry. Saruman is waiting for detailed information about us now, and I will definitely not let him do it. Can you endure this hardship?"
"Me? I'm fine. I'm just worried about Frodo. She's still a child after all, right?" Elladan played Gandalf, but his concern expression was not fake.
"She? She is absolutely fine. She can jump around even if you are hungry." Zhao Mai touched Xiaohua's head, without any intention of blaming her, and was more of a joke with her: "You are the worst among us! You should be suffering and stressed with the Lord of the Swordsman with the Supreme Ring. How can you still look around and see the scenery?"
"I'm not watching the scenery, I'm investigating! Look, there are people staring at us in the fields over there. Before, three crows flew past in the sky, and it's hard to guarantee that they are not Saruman's spy."
"Ha, that's Saruman's spy. He is smart now and no longer sends large groups of crows but breaks them into small teams. Although the information obtained in this way is simple, the coverage area is much larger." Zhao Mai looked at Elladan and sighed, "How do you have a relationship with your neighbors? The people here are more inclined to Saruman. The attitude towards you is either irrelevant, or you are just vigilant and guard against. When you act in this area, all the news will be known by Saruman. Isn't this very passive?"
"We elves were inspired by Vera and were ready to leave Middle Earth 6 and hand over this place to humans. And Saruman has always been our ally, so it is normal for us to take care of the residents here." Elladan explained: "We did not expect that the leader of the Wizard against Zoron would surrender to the rebels."
"But now it seems that you have not gone to the human village to promote it, telling them that Saruman has surrendered to evil and will hurt the people here."
"We are short of manpower. The soldiers who are now used to attack south and lure the enemy were originally used to defend Rivendell." Elladan replied: "Rivevendell's elves did not fall into any battle with Zoro. We sacrificed a lot, and we did not recover as quickly as humans. In the last alliance war, the elves army that fought all the way to the Doomsday Volcano and overthrew the Evil Black Tower could no longer be reproduced."
"Oh... I actually don't want you to go to Verinor. It's true that there is eternity, but it doesn't have the vitality of Middle Earth 6." Zhao Mai suddenly sniffed in the air and smiled and said, "It's great, Saruman finally bit the hook. I smelled the smell of a wolf. To the west of the Mist Mountains, the only place where the wolf can pass is Rohan Pass, which is Aisinger's location."
"Wolf? Where is it?" Elladan stood up from his horse, slightly lifted up his blue spire hat, and his eyes swept across the horizon. It was dusk now, and the sky gradually became darker, but this did not affect the elves' vision. Soon he found his target, and a group of dozens of wolves was approaching.
"That's all? Saruman really thought dozens of wolf could defeat Gandalf and Tverdo, right?"
"Of course not. I think he still wants to verify our identity. The frozen crow in the air can prove my identity, and he is eager to know if you are Gandalf." Zhao Mai believed that there must be spies checking around, either a bribed human, or a black crow. He thought for a while, and then said, "Gandalf, why don't you lift your staff up?"
It was obviously like an ordinary wooden stick, with a fluorite stuffed at the top, and it was powerless. Elladan was confused, but he still raised the staff as he said. But unexpectedly, the fluorite actually emitted a bright white light, soft and warm, and even if he looked directly, it would not hurt his eyes, illuminating the way forward like a lighthouse. "We don't change the direction, we go straight to the wolves."
"What? Go straight over? I know you can freeze crows, but frozen wolf. After all, the size of a wolf is not much smaller than a horse!" Elladan said nervously, "It is definitely not good to pounce on the wolf. It is not good to hurt a person, and it is not good to hurt a horse!"
"No, let's just go there." Zhao Mai said: "You wave your wand and imitate Gandalf's low voice and say a few words randomly, basically to persuade the wolf pack to abandon evil and be good."
At this point, Elladan had to do so. The wolves howled heart-wrenchingly from afar, and then surrounded Zhao Mai and the others. They could soon see their yellow eyes and sharp teeth reflecting the dark blue light.
Elladan never lacked courage, otherwise he would not have been assigned to participate in this action. He stretched his staff flattened, warning and scolding the black wolf pack. He thought that only the howling of the attack would be the howling of the wolf pack, but unexpectedly it was the action of the wolf pack respectfully to make way. The war horses under their seats were a little nervous, but they still faithfully carried their master through the pack, just like a four-leaf boat passing through the calm lake.
It can be seen that Elladan is unclear, so Zhao Mai said to him directly: "Saruman's ability to command animals was learned from the brown-robed wizard Redagast, and Gandagast has a better relationship. It is normal to learn one or two moves."
