Big Strider threw a gold coin to the hooded man.
Then, sad music started playing. Everyone was immersed in the sad song of Prince Nodo.
"Ah, it's an Ancient Elf!" Big Strider was shocked. "Is there still a Prince Nodo in the Middle Land?"
When the song ended, the hooded man said faintly, "Isn't the most honorable and powerful Elf Queen an Ancient Elf Princess?"
"Even your servant is a prince of the Nordor Elves. Who are you?" Big Man Bu asked with a serious expression.
"I'm the mysterious man, the observer and singer of stories in the human world!"
Big Strider …
The hooded man smiled and said, "We are fated to meet. Oh, no, I'm fated to meet the owner of Balahan's Ring. I've met him more than ten times."
Big Strider looked down at the ring on his finger and asked, "How many of my ancestors have you met?"
"I can sing 'Balahan's Ring' for you," the mysterious man said.
So, Big Strider took out another gold coin.
"Ahhh —"
"So many, so many of Turin's nemesis. What kind of war is this?!"
The scene played in everyone's mind with the music was just a small part of the Battle of Sudden Fire. Balahan led his people to form a human wall in front of Morgoth's army to cover the retreat of the King of Nargoth.
But even though it was just a battle, there were more than one or two Fire Demons. However, the "nemesis of Turin" was blocked by hundreds of humans.
This …
"Is it the nemesis of Turin that got stronger or the humans that got weaker?" The Hobbit was confused.
"I didn't know that Balahan's Ring had such a glorious history …"
Big Strider was shocked when he saw the Elf King give the ring to Balahan. Then, he saw Balahan use the ring to ask Balahan to fulfill his oath. In the end, the Elf King died on Demon Wolf Island.
He only got a few words about the Ring of Balahan from Lord Elrond, because there were many details that even Elrond did not know. Elrond was Behren's great-grandson.
When the music stopped, the Hobbits started to sob.
They were touched by the bravery of Balahan and Balahan, but they also felt sorry for the brave Balahan.
Seeing Baylon crying over Ferragan's body, they could not help but shed tears as well.
Big Strider went back and asked the bartender for a glass of ale. He lit his pipe and, like the other Hobbits, let himself wander in the singer's story and the ancient and true emotions brought by it.
At midnight, the Hobbits were tired and hungry. Most importantly, their pockets were empty, and they had no money to buy songs. Only then did they reluctantly leave.
"Mysterious number one singer, will you still be here tomorrow? I'll bring more money tomorrow. "Frodo kept looking back as he walked.
The hooded man smiled but said nothing.
After the crowd dispersed, the tavern owner came over to ask if he wanted to book a room and generously said that he would give the next day's breakfast for free. Big Bu pushed the fat hobbit aside and said in a deep voice, "Recently, there have been many spies of the Dark Demon King approaching the Shire."
The hooded man glanced out the window and vaguely saw Chong Chong's figure flash by.
"Sigh, every Demon Lord spy near Charles has been eliminated. Even a fool would understand that there's a problem here." Danny sighed.
Well, the bard was Danny with the second son of the Feenoord family.
The third era was coming to an end, and this era's calamity was different from the previous ones.
Elves and magic had completely retired from the stage of history, and the world would undergo an unobservable but very intense change.
Danny felt that the first, second, and third eras could be combined into one era.
At such an important moment, she could not bear the loneliness and went to the Shire to wander.
"Are you also here to inquire about the news?" Big Strider looked serious.
"Do you think I still need to inquire?"
Big Strider was silent for a while and sighed. "You know everything, so you don't need to inquire or test. But why are you here?"
"For you!"
"Me?" Big Strider was confused.
"You have also heard the Song of Baylon and Lucian before. How do you feel?"
Big Bu was stunned for a while before he mumbled, "It's very delicate, very real, and very touching. It's even better than Lucian's Song that I've heard before."
"Why is it so good?" Danny asked again.
"Because …" Big Strider frowned. "Because it's delicate, because it's real, and because it touches people's hearts."
"Because I watched your two ancestors go through life and death together, hand in hand, and the lovers finally get married. I even interviewed them.
So, my poems are delicate, real, and touching. Other singers rely on other people's words and their own imagination. They can't compare to me at all. "
"Hehe, now, the third union between humans and elves is about to happen. I don't want to miss such a good story!" Danny laughed in a low and creepy voice.
"You know Arwen and I … Ah, you still want to interview me?!" Big Strider realized what was going on and was dumbfounded.
"Sigh, today's story is like yesterday's repeat, but I want to see how different you are."
Aragon and Arwen, Baylon and Lucian, the human hero and the elven princess, the elven king's father-in-law who broke up the couple, and the extravagant betrothal gifts that made ordinary people flinch …
Danny suddenly understood why Eruvita was willing to accept Tyrion and give him the destiny of being the son of an era.
Indeed, this world lacked variables, especially variables that could lead to better outcomes.
Big Strider secretly made a gesture, and the Dendan shadow guards outside the Green Dragon Inn quietly retreated.
Yes, ever since the Supreme Demon Pants were obtained by the Hobbit, Ciel had been protected by the Human Emperor's shadow guards for the past sixty years.
Big Strider was Aragon, the leader of the Dendan tribe, and the legal successor of Gondor and Arnor.
Ciel and the Baggins family had always been under his and Gandalf's protection.
Looking at the movies "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit", one would feel that the characters in the movies were very realistic and the story was like a fairy tale.
In fact, the story behind the story was rarely shown in the movies.
If one transmigrated to "The Lord of the Rings" and wanted to chat with Ciel and Birbo, or simply replace him and join Thorin and Gandalf's "Unexpected Journey", or give the ring to Frodo … These were all crazy actions.
Birbo and Frodo's position in "The Lord of the Rings" was similar to Tang Sanzang's position in "The Journey to the West".
If one said that one was stronger than Tang Sanzang and wanted to replace him to go to the West to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures, would Tathagata agree?
.....
Today was Birbo's 111th birthday. Ciel held a grand birthday party, and even his old friend Gandalf rushed over to congratulate him.
However, the old man grabbed the golden "saliva towel" around his neck and was a little unhappy.
"Old man, you don't seem happy. Could it be that you can't bear to leave Ciel and Frodo?" Gandalf blew a big smoke ring into the sky and asked leisurely.
"Look —"
The old burglar pointed at the Hobbit children running around on the lawn of the party. Every child was wearing the same golden saliva towel as him. They even covered their faces and shouted, "I'm Ciel Birbo, the strongest burglar in the world. Smaug, I'm here to steal your treasure."
"Hmm, you finally became the hero of the Hobbits," the gray-robed wizard said vaguely as he bit on his pipe.
Birbo clenched the saliva towel hanging on his chest tightly and said excitedly, "That bard knows. She knows my secret!!
I haven't been able to sleep well these few days. I'm afraid that she'll steal my treasure. "
Gandalf rolled his eyes and blew out a "donut" smoke. "Don't worry. Even if you give your treasure to her with both hands, she won't even look at it."
"Nonsense. Who can refuse my treasure?" Old Birbo straightened his neck and said.
"She's gone. She left Ciel with Big Strider."
"I think she's hiding somewhere and spying on me." The old burglar looked around nervously.
"Today is your birthday. It's also Frodo's coming of age ceremony when he's 33 years old … You've decided to leave everything to him. Why are you still worried that the bard will miss your treasure?" Gandalf said softly.
Birbo was stunned.
"Yes, my story is over … although it seems like it happened yesterday," the old hobbit said sadly.
"You can start a new journey … Last year when I passed by Moria, Old Tyrion was still muttering about coming to Ciel to visit you."
"Oh, will Tyrion and the rest come?" Birbo asked excitedly.
Gandalf shook his head. "I told him that the reputation of the Axe King was too great. If he went to Ciel, he would attract the attention of the Magic Shadow. Only then did he give up the idea."
"I see. I haven't seen them for sixty years …" Birbo said sadly.
"They can't come, but you can go."
Birbo's eyes lit up. "Yes!"
That night, after Birbo finished his speech at the banquet, he pulled up the saliva towel around his neck and covered his face in full view of the crowd. He laughed and disappeared in front of the crowd.
"This is the real number one burglar in the world who comes and goes without a trace!"
The old burglar left Ciel that night. Before he left, he went back home and reluctantly left the saliva towel behind.
The first Ringbearer retired and the second Ringbearer took over.
Until nineteen years later, when Lord Frodo was over fifty years old, more and more spies of the Magic Lord entered Ciel. There were even terrifying Black Knights.
The Ringbearer mode could no longer be maintained. Gandalf decided to reopen the White Way to decide the ownership of the Magic Pants.
Well, before the Ringbearer entered Ciel to look for Baggins, Gandalf did not want to destroy the One Ring. He only wanted to rely on the Hobbit's talent of high moral integrity to secretly protect the One Ring from generation to generation.
The decision to destroy the One Ring was made by many kings after Elrond held the "Valley Hero Assembly".
.....
Winter 3018 of the third era, Mordor, Baradur Fortress at the end of the Ashes Mountains.
"I feel uneasy. What happened recently … Sigh, Saruman is really useless. Not only did he not persuade Gandalf to surrender, he even let him escape," Big Eye said sullenly.
A hundred years ago, the White Way ambushed Mordor. The King of Søren gave up his body and became the Eye of Mordor.
"One Gandalf is not enough to affect the overall situation," Danny said perfunctorily.
She was thousands of miles away and the Big Eye communicated with her through its will projection.
This was the beauty of turning into the Big Eye.
It could control the Dark Army from a distance, observe the whole world, and even cast magic from a long distance.
Especially the bewitching and depravity magic that penetrated the mind, the effect was very strong.
Since it could not defeat a mortal hero even if it turned into a human, it might as well give up on the idea of close combat and stay at the back as a "brain monster".
"Not only Gandalf, my Supreme Magic Pants have reappeared in the world. I am looking forward to it but also afraid.
The Doomsday Volcano that I drained of its earth fire also erupted fifty years ago … It just had to happen at this time, at the end of the third era. "
The Big Eye flashed fiercely, showing that the King of Søren was not calm.
