This information was too important, so important that Chu Hao could not believe that he was so lucky.
Information was power, and the omniscient must be omnipotent. This was a truth that Chu Hao, or most of the wise men, believed in.
Even in a realm without magic technology like the real world, the omniscient must be omnipotent. First of all, being omniscient meant having an unlimited lifespan, whether it was using drugs, genes, technology, machinery, energy, quantum technology, etc. But at least the lifespan was unlimited. At the same time, being omniscient did not mean knowing certain things, but knowing everything, such as what the future would be like and what others were thinking. This way, at least one's social status would be guaranteed, and at least one's wealth would be endless. Then, being omniscient about future technology and the mysteries of the universe would make such an omniscient person an omnipotent being, no matter if it was super, high, medium, low, or non-magic.
But who could be omniscient? Just like how no one could be omnipotent, the omniscient person was omnipotent.
But this did not mean that information was useless. On the contrary, information was power. This was a saying that could be used at any time, any place, and any situation. Because of this, when Chu Hao knew that there was more information in the realm of Tom, he felt like he had hit the jackpot. This could mean more chances of survival in the World of Transmigration, more ways to gain power, and a broader future.
But all of this still had to be endured through this group battle …
Not long after, the dwarves, Gandalf, the hobbit, and Zhang Heng returned with a full load. This was different from the plot of the movie. The dwarves did not have any intention of burying the gold coins. After all, they had brought enough things with them, and one more chest of gold coins would not hurt. As for Gandalf, he was holding a staff in one hand and an Elven sword in the other. He seemed to be very satisfied and happy.
As for the others, Thorin's weapon had changed from a two-handed Dwarven sword to an Elven two-handed Elven sword. Even the hobbit had an Elven sword. The other dwarves had more or less changed their weapons. There was even a dwarf who carried a full set of dwarven armor. Although the armor was covered with mud and plants, it still shone through the gaps. This was an armor forged by the high elves. It would not rust or be damaged even after thousands of years. It was the best enchanted armor.
As for Zhang Heng, he carried a few shiny arrowheads as if they were treasures. Orky carried a black two-handed hammer. Ganglour carried a wide dagger that looked a bit like a miniature version of a kitchen knife. As for the other newcomers, they each carried a weapon or something small.
As Tom was pulled aside by Chu Hao to talk, he did not pick the loot. He looked a little depressed. Zhang Heng walked directly to him and handed him a small dagger. This dagger was pale silver and very thin. In fact, if you put it in front of your eyes and looked at it in a parallel line, you would only see a line. One could imagine how superb the craftsmanship of this dagger was. It could almost be described as a work of art. It was as light as a feather in his hand. Tom tried to rub it on a rock, and he saw that the rock was cut off as easily as tofu. The dagger was not damaged at all. He immediately thanked Zhang Heng with joy.
Zhang Heng did not think much of it. In fact, this was what Chu Hao had told him before he went. He then took out a few arrows and looked at them carefully as if they were treasures. Of course, the others also took their own weapons, and no one paid attention to what he had obtained.
Gandalf was obviously very happy that the team had changed their equipment, and he had also obtained a superior enchanted sword, so he cleared his throat and said to everyone, "Everyone, please cherish the weapons you have obtained. These are enchanted weapons forged by the high elves of the first era. Each of them has their own special effects. I don't know the specific functions, but no one in Middle Earth can forge them anymore. These are much more precious than the boxes of gold you obtained." After saying that, Gandalf glared fiercely at the dwarves who were holding the boxes of gold coins.
The dwarves scratched their heads and laughed. It was not their fault. The dwarves' desire for precious metals was well-known throughout the world of the Lord of the Rings. This desire even exceeded the temptation and control of the One Ring. It was really a miraculous desire, so they would not give up the gold coins in their hands just because of a few words from Gandalf.
At this moment, the dwarf on guard suddenly shouted, "Someone's coming, and they're fast!"
Gandalf immediately pulled out his sword and shouted, "Pick up your weapons, everyone, get ready!"
Suddenly, all the dwarves picked up their weapons and aimed in the direction of the sound. It was a forest, and there were bursts of sounds of dead branches being trampled on. It was as if a group of people were running at a very fast speed. The dwarves had just picked up their weapons when they saw a carriage … No, a rabbit carriage rushing out of the forest. An old man in a tattered brown robe was holding a wooden carriage, and the people pulling the carriage were actually a group of rabbits that were one-third the size of an adult.
"Thief! Flame! Murderer! " The old man shouted and looked at the people present. Seeing his appearance, Gandalf was the first to put down his weapon.
"Brown Robe Wizard Reidagast." Gandalf said, and at the same time, he walked to the old man and said, "What are you doing here?"
The old man also saw Gandalf. He breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly said, "Gandalf, I'm looking for you. Yes, I have something important to tell you!"
"Oh? What's the matter? "Gandalf looked at Reidagast suspiciously.
Reidagast opened his mouth to say something, but he opened his mouth several times, but he could not say anything. After a long time, he said, "I don't know why, but I feel like there's something on my tongue, but I can't say anything. What is it?"
While he was talking, Gandalf suddenly pulled a long stick out of his mouth. Reidagast breathed a sigh of relief, then found a rock and sat down, panting there. After a long time, Reidagast said, "Gandalf, the forest is sick. Darkness has come. Everything no longer grows. At least, the good things no longer grow. The air is full of rotten smell. What's worse is the net …"
"Net? What do you mean? "Gandalf frowned and asked.
Reidagast immediately said, "Spiders, Gandalf, the Great Spiders are the descendants of Angrion. I can't be wrong. Otherwise, I wouldn't be a wizard … I followed them. They came from Dorgodo."
"Dorgodo?" Gandalf asked doubtfully. "That's just an abandoned castle."
"No, Gandalf, there is no …"
Reidagast began to tell the story of how he went to the abandoned castle. He was attacked by evil spirits there. At the same time, he felt a deep sense of dark witchcraft, the aura of the dead, and so on. There was a dark and terrifying power living there.
After saying all this, Radagast seemed to have been scared out of his wits. He just sat there blankly. Gandalf seemed to have noticed something. He rubbed his pipe and said, "Give me some Old Toby, my old friend. Come on, take a deep breath and try it …"
Reidagast took a deep puff from the pipe, and his expression slowly relaxed. Gandalf asked seriously, "Then let's get to the point … Necromancer? Are you sure? "
Reidagast nodded, then looked carefully at the people around him. He took out a cloth package from his arms. After watching Gandalf unwrap the cloth package, he whispered, "This … is not something from the living world …"
"Yes, this is … the relic of Mordor."
A voice sounded beside the two wizards who were concentrating. The two wizards immediately raised their staffs and saw Chu Hao standing there with a serious expression. Gandalf immediately said, "Let me introduce you. This is Chu Hao … the new wizard."
Ridagast, on the other hand, had a look of astonishment on his face as he said, "Adept? A new wizard? How is that possible? They have not cared about Middle Earth for a long time … "
Chu Hao coughed and said with a smile, "I'm here for a special mission, and this mission is related to this thing in your hands … the relic of Mordor."
Gandalf and Reidagast looked at each other. Just as they were about to ask more questions, suddenly, a wolf's howl came from afar. Not only did the two wizards look serious, but the dwarves around them also took up their weapons and were on guard.
The plot had finally come to the time when the Orcs would attack. Then, the team would go to the elven capital, Rivendell!
