Chapter 47: Two Hobbit

The current situation was quite clear.

Chen An looked at the East Asian Gandalf in front of him, confident in his own thoughts.

There was no Dark Lord Sauron, no One Ring. All of this was just an elaborate story fabricated by an old child to deceive innocent children, gathering them together with a very positive attitude towards child's play to form a Ring Guard Knights comprised of a group of child soldiers.

‘Even that amazing sword Narsil can only be replaced by shabby tree branches.’

Chen An scrutinized the Gandalf in front of him. Although he knew the other party was just an eternal child, he couldn't help but admire his external conditions. He indeed had a bit of the aura of Gandalf. If he wore a wizard's robe, he would be treated with respectful eyes wherever he went, like a revered immortal.

"Child, you have a deep misunderstanding of me."

'Gandalf' continued to gaze at the child in front of him who denied his existence with a calm and warm look. "You think all of this is just a game, but you completely fail to see the seriousness of the matter. Since you stepped into Rivendell, the gears of fate have already begun to turn. You have been chosen as one of the guardians of the One Ring."

"Hold on!"

Chen An rolled his eyes. "I never said I wanted to join your game. I just followed along to take a look."

"This is not a game!"

Paladin, the Holy Hammer Knight, looked at Chen An with pity. "Your memory might not be good; you didn't react to what I said before. The power of the One Ring is very dangerous. Once the One Ring leaves our protection, the world will be in chaos. Human civilization might even come to an end."

"Who told you this?"

Chen An asked with a twitch of his mouth, and Paladin immediately looked at Gandalf.

"The One Ring indeed possesses such terrifying power."

Gandalf lifted his white robe, revealing a sandalwood box underneath.

"All twenty Rings are now here. If they are separated, their power is relatively contained. But now, all the Rings are packed into this small box. Can you imagine how the enchanting, seductive power that corrupts the heart has expanded to what extent?"

"Uh..."

Chen An looked at Gandalf speechlessly, deciding to follow the other's logic, "Don't you think it's very dangerous to entrust such a dangerous thing to a group of children? How about I report it to the police, let the people's police arrest the Dark Lord Sauron? Even if Sauron's power is terrifying, I think it's no match for Gun."

"Entrusting such a dangerous task to a group of children is, of course, unacceptable. But—you are not children!"

Gandalf said seriously, "The power of the Dark Lord Sauron has deprived you of some intelligence, making you think you are just elementary school students. In fact, you are all pure 'Hobbits.' The evidence is your height. Hobbits are generally 0.6 to 1.2 meters tall, and how tall are you?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

Role-playing so seriously has become a bit terrifying!

Looking at the serious appearance of the eternal child in front of him, Chen An's mouth twitched, and he glanced at Lu Li beside him.

If his friends wanted to join, he'd play along with them. With this in mind, he asked, "Lu Li, do you want to join their game?"

Lu Li hesitated for a moment. She really wanted to join this seemingly fun Ring Guard Knights, but it seemed that Chen An didn't like this place.

Thinking this, she shook her head.

Seeing that the two 'Hobbits' seemed uninterested in the mission of guarding the One Ring, Gandalf remained calm and composed. He casually tapped the sandalwood box in his hand with his staff.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'seeing once is better than hearing a hundred times.' I believe no matter how much I explain, you will instinctively resist this great mission. So, let me show you the terrifying power of the One Ring! I hope you realize the severity of the situation and understand that humanity is truly on the brink of life and death."

Watching the serious demeanor of the East Asian Gandalf, Chen An couldn't help but feel a slight curiosity. Of course, it was just a tiny bit. He would never believe that there was something in the yurt that could determine the fate of humanity.

"Maybe... there really is?"

The system sitting on Chen An's shoulder glanced at the branch called Narsil, which was worshipped, and looked at the 'sandalwood box' with a slightly solemn expression.

This eerie atmosphere, along with the blatant malice that seemed to completely deny the existence of human civilization... Could it be...

"Gandalf, please forgive me for speaking frankly."

Paladin hastily said, "You said that besides Hobbits, no one can resist the allure of the One Ring!"

"Look at his height."

Gandalf stroked his white beard. "There's nothing more persuasive than height. He is a pure Hobbit."

"He's just a Hobbit from outside! Different from our local Hobbits!"

Paladin looked at Chen An with an unfriendly gaze. "What if he is seduced by the power of the One Ring?"

"I trust his height. The symbol of the Hobbit in him won't allow him to be swayed by the power of the One Ring."

Gandalf affirmed.

"I mean..."

Chen An's mouth twitched. "Although, in fact, I am just a short guy of 1.2 meters, but leaving aside the facts, in the realm of thought, I am a giant surpassing you hundreds of times! So, call me a Hobbit again, and believe me, I'll turn hostile!"

"Look!"

Paladin became more worried. "He doesn't even want to admit the fact that he is a Hobbit!"

Chen An looked at Gandalf, who stood up and walked to him. The white-bearded old man squatted down, solemnly placing the sandalwood box in front of him, and then seemed to be fearing the power in the box, moved away from the box.

Curious, Lu Li pressed Chen An's shoulder and also came up to look at the seemingly ordinary wooden box.

"I must warn you that the permission you get is just to watch the One Ring."

Seeing that Gandalf was determined to show the One Ring, Paladin could only helplessly say to Chen An, "If you dare to take action against the One Ring, I will consider you a fallen person seduced by the power of the One Ring. At that time... don't blame me for not being polite to you."

Chen An glanced at the serious Paladin and decided to start a little black book when he got back, recording these words. After this child grows up, he'll help him remember today's words and see the embarrassed appearance of humanity rolling on the ground in shame!

With these thoughts, he frivolously reached for the wooden box and casually opened it.

In an instant, golden light filled the entire yurt, and twenty rings appeared neatly in front of him.

Scared me for a moment...

Chen An twitched his mouth as he looked at the strong light bulb inside the sandalwood box and then at the rings in the golden light.

Wait a minute! These rings...

He stared blankly at the so-called One Ring, a kind of shock that couldn't be described spread through his consciousness. Even his heartbeat stopped for a moment.

Meanwhile, Lu Li was also staring blankly at the rings in front of her.

Where's the demonic nature? She couldn't feel anything at all.
