He himself didn't know if he could live for a thousand years, let alone a thousand years in which he would have to use Fiendfyre to burn the Ring without stopping.
He will be exhausted to death or drained dry!
Gandalf, however, leaned on his staff and shook his head. "A thousand years is too long. There are too many variables in that time. It's enough time for Sauron to regain his power. Moreover, once Sauron discovers the whereabouts of the Ring, I'm afraid he will stop at nothing to seize it."
"We must find a way to destroy the Ring as soon as possible, so that Sauron will lose his power and no longer pose a threat to Middle-earth."
"But how can we destroy the Ring? It is indestructible. Even the scorching flames of dragons cannot harm it. How can we destroy it?"
Celeborn always kept a certain distance from the Ring, looking at it with caution and a frown.
Galadriel looked towards the Far East, her voice vague and filled with a sense of fate:
"The Lord of the Rings was forged by Sauron in Mount Doom. It was born in the volcano and will be destroyed by the volcano. Only the power of Mount Doom can destroy the Lord of the Rings."
Gandalf frowned upon hearing this and shook his head: "Ever since Sauron was exiled in the Battle of Dol Guldur, he has fled to the Far East, to the base camp of Mordor. That is his lair, and there are not only a large number of Orcs and Trolls, but also bewitched Easterlings, Haradrim, and even Black Númenóreans.
In addition, there are giant bats and fallen flying beasts monitoring the sky. Mordor is now a heavily defended cave, and not even a mosquito can fly into it. "
"Even Sauron has the Stone of True Knowledge, which allows him to monitor the entire Mordor region at any time."
"If the Ring is brought to Mordor, it will probably be discovered by Sauron before it even reaches Mount Doom. Then the Ring will be delivered directly to Sauron."
"Unless Sauron can be lured out, or his attention can be diverted so that he has no time to pay attention to Mordor," Celeborn suggested.
But the problem is that Sauron had just been severely damaged and was in a weak period, so he gathered almost all the dark forces in the Mordor region and turned it into an iron barrel.
Before recovering a certain amount of strength, Sauron would be extremely vigilant, hiding in his lair to lick his wounds, and would never come out easily.
Chapter 123 Destruction Plan
Gandalf, Galadriel, and Celeborn wanted to send the Ring to Mount Doom and destroy it.
But now it is surrounded by Sauron like an iron barrel, and it is difficult to penetrate Mordor from either the sky or the ground.
Not to mention that they were also worried that there might be some connection between the Ring and Sauron, and that Sauron would sense it once they got close.
"I think we need to contact Elrond. He knows more about the Lord of the Rings than we do and may be able to offer different opinions," said Gandalf.
Then he looked at Dewey: "Dewey, could you please connect the Floo Network to this place?"
Dui nodded.
"Lord Celeborn, Lady Galadriel, may I borrow your fireplace?"
Galadriel smiled and nodded.
"Elrond praised this magic of yours to me before. Let us witness its wonders."
"It just so happens that when Arwen wants to go to Rivendell in the future, she won't have to cross the Misty Mountains."
When she said this, a flash of sadness flashed in Galadriel's eyes.
Her daughter Celebrían had come to Lórien to see them, but was captured and tortured by Orcs on the way, and finally had to cross the sea to Valinor for recuperation.
This became the eternal pain of Galadriel and Celeborn.
For this reason, Elrond specifically gave Arwen to the two of them to take care of and raise in order to ease the sadness of his daughter's absence.
With the consent of Galadriel and Celeborn, Dui continued to cast spells on the fireplace, connecting it to the fireplace in Rivendell.
Then he sprinkled a handful of Floo powder, plunged into the green flames and disappeared.
Except for Gandalf and Bilbo who had seen it before and looked used to it, everyone else looked surprised.
Arwen watched Dui disappear into the fireplace with sparkling eyes.
Because of what happened to her mother Celebrían, her grandparents and father were worried about her traveling thousands of miles across the dangerous Misty Mountains to Rivendell, so she lived in Lórien since she was a child.
It was usually her father Elrond and her two brothers Elrohir and Elladan who came to Lórien to see her.
Now that she had this magical teleportation magic, it would be very easy for her to go to the valley whenever she wanted to. She could even travel back and forth between the two places frequently to accompany both her grandparents and her father.
At the same time, she also became curious about the young wizard Duir.
She knew that her grandmother Galadriel had commissioned this wizard to make a wand for her. It was said that this wand was also created by this young wizard and had the ability to allow magical races to cast spells easily.
Even Galadriel, the grandmother and the most prestigious elf in Middle-earth, expressed admiration and appreciation for such pioneering work.
For this purpose, he also gave her the Elessar Emerald that he had treasured for many years.
Nowadays, there is even magic that can teleport people thousands of miles away.
Duir was very different from the other Middle-earth wizards she knew, and his magic was even more magical.
She was now even more looking forward to her wand.
I wonder what kind of wand Doyle will make for himself?
It wasn't long before the green flames lit up again in the fireplace.
Elrond emerged from the hearth first.
Following closely behind was Dui.
"Father!" Arwen's eyes lit up, and she walked to the front with a nimble and graceful figure.
"Arwen." Elrond reached out and stroked his daughter's hair lovingly, then bowed to Celeborn and Galadriel.
"Lord Celeborn."
"Lady Galadriel."
As lords, Elrond's status is equal to Celeborn's.
However, the two people in front of him were his parents-in-law, and Elrond showed respect.
With the arrival of Elrond, everyone once again focused their attention on the Ring.
Elrond looked at the ring in front of him with a very complicated expression.
"During the War of the Last Alliance, I was the herald of the High King Gil-galad. With the One Ring in his possession, Sauron was invincible. Even Gil-galad and Elendil combined were no match for Sauron.
The battle was extremely brutal. Gil-galad, the High King of the Noldor, and Elendil, King of Gondor and Arnor, were both killed, and the sword Narsil was crushed by Sauron.
When we were facing despair, Isildur, son of Elendil, took advantage of the situation and used the fragment of the sword Narsil to cut off the finger of Sauron wearing the One Ring, causing him to lose his power and his body to dissipate. In the end, the Alliance won a tragic victory.
"I once tried to persuade Isildur to throw the One Ring into Mount Doom, completely destroying it and eliminating Sauron's chance of resurrection."
Elrond sighed.
"But Isildur, bewitched by the power of the Ring, refused my advice. He was ambushed and killed by Orcs near the Golden Iris River, and the Ring he carried with him is no longer known."
"I was expecting the Ring to fall into the river and be washed into the sea by the Anduin River. I didn't expect it to appear again today!"
Elrond was then surprised that Bilbo had kept the Ring for so long without being corrupted.
"Perhaps this is the magic of fate. Fate created the Halflings, a magical race. Although small, they are simple by nature, love life, and do not have many desires and ambitions. Even the power of the One Ring is difficult to take effect on them.
And now fate has allowed the Halfling to pick up the One Ring."
Elrond looked at Bilbo with a smile on his face and hope in his eyes.
"I think fate has revealed itself. The One Ring has reappeared in the world once again, and it has been brought before us, which has doomed Sauron to destruction."
Elrond, Gandalf and others then discussed again how to destroy the One Ring.
Elrond agreed to throw the Ring into Mount Doom.
"But now is not the right time," said Elrond.
"After the last battle of Dol Guldur, I sent a message to the regent of the southern kingdom of Gondor to warn him. Gondor quickly sent people deep into Mordor to investigate, but the results were not satisfactory."
"Sauron is extremely cautious now. The entire Mordor region is monitored by giant bats. There are also Orcs, trolls, fallen humans, fallen beasts, and even descendants of the giant spider Ungoliant. It can be said that the area is guarded layer by layer and the barriers are very strict."
"It is extremely difficult to go deep into Mordor and enter Mount Doom."
"What do you have in mind, Lord Elrond?" Gandalf asked.
"Under the current circumstances, Sauron is unlikely to show up on his own initiative. He may even hide in his lair in Mordor to recover his strength. Only by forming an alliance and attacking Mordor can we force him to show up, thus creating an opportunity to sneak into Mount Doom and destroy the Ring."
At this Elrond shook his head,
"But now the Kingdom of Arnor in the north has been destroyed, the Kingdom of Gondor in the south has long lost its king, only a regent; and the Kingdom of Rohan is now divided and independent.
Unless there is a king of sufficient prestige who can summon all humans and unite the forces of the elves to once again form an alliance between humans and elves, it will be possible to break through Mordor and force Sauron to appear."
But there has only been one such character, Elendil, King of Gondor and Arnor.
Thinking of this, Elrond thought of Aragorn who now lived in Rivendell.
Aragorn was a direct descendant of Isildur, son of Elendil, and heir to the royal house of Arnor in the north, now that the royal house of Gondor in the south had long since ceased to exist.
Aragorn is the most suitable heir to the Kingdom of Gondor and Arnor.
As long as Aragorn becomes King of Gondor and Arnor, the Kingdom of Rohan must abide by its oath and pledge allegiance to the King of Gondor.
In this way, the power of the human kingdom can be integrated to form a powerful countermeasure to Mordor.
But Aragorn is only ten years old now and cannot bear such responsibility at all.
"Secondly, once Sauron has regained some strength, he will undoubtedly expand outward. At that time, we can block the dark forces to attract Sauron's attention. Then, we can send a small team to quietly take the Ring into Mount Doom and complete the task of destroying the Ring."
After hearing this, Gandalf and the others nodded and agreed with Elrond's suggestion.
"But the question is, who can take the Ring to Mount Doom? The Ring has the power to corrupt people's hearts, and we dare not touch it. Who can carry the Ring on such a long journey and guarantee that he will not be affected by it?"
After hearing Gandalf's words, everyone's eyes fell on Bilbo.
Bilbo waved his hands frantically when he was stared at.
"No, I can't!"
He had just experienced the thrilling expedition to Lonely Mountain, and his heart could not withstand another more dangerous mission.
Seeing that he was very resistant, everyone turned their gazes back.
There is no rush to escort the ring to Mount Doom, and there is no need to decide immediately who will go.
Since the ring cannot be destroyed at present, everyone began to discuss how to deal with the ring and who should keep it?
"The matter of the Lord of the Rings concerns the safety of Middle-earth. Should we inform Saruman?" said Elrond.
After all, as the leader of the White Council, Saruman was very angry that he was not called during the last Battle of Dol Guldur, and he had already created a rift between them.
If he is not told about the Lord of the Rings this time, Saruman may become completely alienated, which is not conducive to the unity of the White Order.
