Chapter 376: Towards Mordor (Please subscribe, please bookmark, please vote)
After settling the work at hand, Ryan set out with Rose Crystal the next evening.

Starting from the river valley and heading south, you can reach Mount Doom. According to Gandalf's introduction and the map he drew, Ryan knew that this distance was about 80 kilometers. Fortunately, Ryan's flying broom was a household version that was good at long-distance travel and could fly for a long time at a speed of kilometers per hour.

On the way, Ryan flew 20 hours a day. His strengthened body could fully support this high-intensity journey. When he and Rose Crystal arrived at the Black Gate, only a day had passed since they set out. This was much faster than the Fellowship of the Ring in the novel, which took a full six months to arrive.

This was partly because the flight was really fast, and partly because Sauron's power had not yet fully recovered, and the air from the valley to Mordor was safe enough. Llane could go straight to his destination without having to take detours and fight like the Fellowship of the Ring in the novel.

At this time, the power of Mordor had not yet fully awakened, and Sauron did not understand the spells from other worlds, so he did not make corresponding preparations. Ryan easily passed over the Black Gate directly from above.

However, not far from entering the Black Gate, the air began to be filled with evil magic. For safety reasons, Ryan gave up flying and chose to infiltrate from the ground.

Fortunately, the flight just now had avoided the most difficult road, and because Sauron had not yet fully recovered his strength, although the sky above Mordor was covered by dark clouds, there was still a faint sunlight shining in through the gaps in the clouds.

With the weak sunlight, Ryan found himself at the edge of a huge plain. The entire plain was only covered with a grayish glow. Black smoke was passing through the ground and grooves, and foul-smelling smoke was constantly coming out of the cracks in the earth.

More than 60 kilometers away, the Doomsday volcano was located. It was almost completely covered with volcanic ash. The huge volcanic cone reached the sky, and the crater that kept emitting black smoke was blocked by dark clouds. There was no magma gushing out at this time, and it was as terrifying and horrifying as a sleeping beast. Behind it was a huge black shadow that extended all the way to the foot of the Ash Mountains.

So there must be a large area of ​​land east of Mordor that can provide enough resources. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many armies that set out from Mordor in the last part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy to use Mordor as a rallying point, because this place looks like the glowing sea in the Fallout world, and it simply cannot support a large army. The only possibility is that the land in the east is very vast and can bring a lot of resources to feed that huge and evil army.

This dead plain is called the Gegolos Plain. When Ryan was in the air just now, he thought it should be very flat. But after landing on the ground, he found that the Gegolos Plain was full of large and small holes, as if when this place was still soft mud, countless broken stones fell all over the ground, making it uneven everywhere. The largest hole was surrounded by a circle of rocks, and there were many cracks extending outward from the middle.

In short, this place is very suitable for people to move from one shelter to the next silently, and even the most conscientious sentinels will find it difficult to detect any intrusion here.

It took Ryan a whole day to carry Rose Crystal to the foot of the volcano. The closer he got to the volcano, the more suppressed his soul felt. This might be because Sauron had set up a domain magic similar to the evil residence in this area. Rose Crystal was more sensitive to the suppression of magic here. Halfway through the journey, she could no longer maintain flight and could only be carried forward by Ryan. At first, Ryan could still travel quickly by light skills, but he could only walk the distance near the foot of the volcano on his own. At the same time, in this area, all magic required five or even ten times the magic and mental strength as before.

"This is because Sauron has not fully recovered." Ryan thought, "I really don't know how the two tortured hobbits in history walked this distance. They neither mastered the power of magic nor were their bodies as strong as mine. At the same time, their souls had to endure the constant corruption of the Supreme Lord of the Rings. Perhaps it is because of this that their journey can be called an epic."

Ryan walked forward while thinking, and found a road! It extended from the west, circling the volcano like a snake, and finally came to the west of the volcano. The top of the road leads to a dark entrance on the upper part of the volcanic cone, which can directly lead to the Hall of Fire where Sauron cast the ring. It feels that Sauron is a little mentally retarded at this point. How can a normal person build a road directly to his vital point? Of course, as Gandalf said, Sauron is very arrogant. He thought that no one would be willing to destroy the Supreme Ring in his hands, and few people knew how to destroy the ring. Ryan thought that all the big villains might be like this, Sauron is like this, and so is Voldemort.

It took Ryan several hours to reach the end of the winding mountain road, and the gate of the Hall of Fire, Samasnaur, finally appeared in front of him. At this time, he felt extremely tired, because this road was built on an active volcano. With the eruption of the volcano, many orcs stayed on the road to repair the road. In order to avoid them, Ryan could only use magic to hide himself. In such a harsh environment, the super-intensive magic output naturally made him feel a little overdrawn.

Rose Crystal was in an even worse condition, because she and Ryan had the same magic power, so she reduced her own magic power consumption to a minimum along the way, and then supplied all her magic power to Ryan, which made her look dying now.

It was dark and hot inside the door, and there was a dull sound coming out, like the mouth of a monster. Ryan was a little uneasy, and even had the urge to turn back. But thinking that this was the last checkpoint, he still mustered up the courage to walk into the darkness. Of course, the emergency escape function of the Wanjie Grocery Store gave him the greatest confidence.

After rushing through the gate, Ryan couldn't see anything at first. But after enduring the discomfort and overdrawing his magic power to release shadow magic, he finally found the right path and rushed out of the darkness.

As soon as he rushed out of the darkness, Ryan saw a red light rushing up and hitting the top of the cave. With the help of this light, he found himself in a tunnel in the volcanic cone, with many cracks not far ahead. The dazzling red light in the cracks sometimes became brighter, and sometimes faded back into the darkness; at the same time, the cave was filled with a low rumbling sound as if a huge machine was running.

At the front of this tunnel is the lava pool in Mount Doom. Just throw the ring in.

"Okay, we're here." Ryan said to the little doll on his back. Although the two didn't say anything along the way because they were in a hurry, Ryan might not have been able to get here if it weren't for the magic power provided by Rose Crystal. For the doll, the feeling after a large amount of magic power was extracted from her body was similar to the feeling of suffocation of humans. However, in order not to worry Ryan, Rose Crystal bit her lips tightly and kept quiet after feeling uncomfortable.

"You throw it, you deserve this honor." Lion held Rose Crystal in his arms, and Rose Crystal took out the One Ring from her arms. At this time, Sauron finally felt something was wrong. Under his call, all the orcs began to rush to Mount Doom. At the same time, the Ring also emitted a dazzling light, as if it was made of pure fire.

But it was too late now. Rose Crystal ignored the increasingly tempting voice and raised her hand directly towards the lava pool.

The ring fell from the puppet's little hand, spun a few times in the air, and then fell into the magma of Mount Doom below the two people.
