Chapter 284 Discussion
Listening to what Levi said, Saruman replied:
“The nature of things is never singular, and no one can understand everything about a thing just by looking at its appearance.”
"If you look at the same thing horizontally, vertically, inside or outside, you may see different things just from different perspectives, not to mention things like death and rebirth, which are more mysterious and contain great wisdom."
“People are always unable to understand things beyond their own cognition. Eyes can only see the surface, ears can only hear sounds to a certain extent, and noses can only smell things that can stimulate them.”
"That's why we use all sorts of methods to learn more about things—things that we can't understand with our senses alone."
"Only in this way can we control a more powerful...power."
This time it was Levi's turn to be slightly surprised.
I didn't expect that this old man who was deeply immersed in power and desire could have so many insights.
There's something.
"Hmm... I think I understand." Saruman muttered to himself.
Sometimes, in research, the origin of a thing is very important, which concerns many things.
"Then I'll take my leave. I still have some things to do."
' Saruman said this and was about to stand up.
The main point is that he is extremely enthusiastic when asking questions and listening, and he will get up and leave after asking what he wants to ask, without mercy.
As for rewards - don't even think about hearing him mention it.
Look at the Ents in Fangorn Forest. He had been taking advantage of these poor tree people for thousands of years and taught them countless ancient knowledge. Not only did he not give them anything in return, he also chopped them down and burned them into charcoal.
In fact, the Ents were relatively good. Saruman would not provoke them directly unless it was necessary. At least he was very polite when facing them face to face.
The trees were cut down based on the fact that the Ents loved to stay in the depths of the forest and sleep. If no one woke them up, they might all be cut down while they were sleeping.
After all, only someone with great power could make Saruman sit down and talk to him calmly.
Just like Levi.
If he were a weaker person, he might not even have the chance to have an equal dialogue with Saruman - either he had to obey him and meet all his demands, or he would be filled with his magic voice, controlled by him first, and then meet all his demands.
If Levi's power is not enough to fight against Saruman...it's hard to say whether he can stay awake now and whether the territory is still his.
Peace always comes with strength.
"In such a hurry to leave?"
Levi's words made Saruman stop.
He had to stop. After all, if the people behind him wanted to, they could force him to stop.
"The tea isn't even ready yet."
"No need."
Saruman refused without even turning his head.
"I have some important things to do, so I won't stay here any longer."
Levi poured a cup of tea and said, "No need to be so anxious."
"I still have something I want to ask you, the wise man."
Hearing this, Saruman turned around.
"Since you have a relatively good attitude, if you have anything to ask, please tell me."
"I'll tell you everything I know."
He sat back down again.
Li Weizhi said, "Some time ago, I heard Gandalf mention the situation of the Ents. Do you know the whereabouts of the Ent woman?"
"Oh."
At the mention of someone's name, Saruman made a disdainful sound.
"Gandalf, what does that guy with a head full of pipe weed know."
Levi, who was holding a cup of tea, looked up and glanced at Saruman.
A lot of pipe tobacco is shipped to Isengard every year.
You'd better not smoke.
"During the Last Alliance War, the place where the Ents lived was burned to ashes. They no longer exist."
"But there are also some ancient prophecies that say that when the world comes to an end and everything dissipates, they will be able to grow out of the land again and meet again."
"The end of the world." Levi pronounced the word.
It should refer to the final battle, when Morgoth will return. Legend has it that it will be the end of everything, and the world will be broken and reorganized.
But that's for the future.
Levi shared his news: "I heard some news circulating among the Hobbits in the Shire. Some people have seen walking trees in the Northern Wasteland, and there are also some tree people in the old forest."
"rumor."
Saruman denied it quite flatly.
"It is impossible for tree people to exist in the Northern Wasteland. The conditions for their survival are simply not met there."
"As for the old forest, it's full of evil-minded trees. You could say they're alive and thinking, but they're not as strong or as smart as the Ents."
"The Ents gave a name to these ignorant creatures, which were neither Ents nor trees, and they called them 'Huorn'."
"There are many Huorn in Fangorn, too, but they are better off, for they are kept under the control of the Ents. But it is different in the Old Forest. If Huorn are not controlled, they will become wild and dangerous."
"Some of the hobbits would frighten their children with stories of Huorn the Maneater."
“But that’s not the story.”
"The hobbits had a great time fighting them many years ago."
Levi listened and nodded:
"Well, it looks like the Ents won't be able to find their mates any time soon."
"Why do you care about this?"
Saruman really didn't understand.
"Nothing, I just like to worry about things, it's none of your business."
"I don't have time for you."
After drinking a cup of tea poured by Levi, Saruman stood up.
"Nothing else, I'm leaving now."
"Let's go, let's go, you're as anxious as if there was a thief in the house."
Hearing this, Saruman looked back at Levi.
"There were no thieves, but a robber did come in."
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, bye."
Saruman left in a hurry.
Another peaceful year.
Thanks to the continuous efforts of the rangers of Roadside Fort and Riverside Fort, the dangers in the wilderness were once again driven to more marginal places.
A new ranger stronghold was established at the 'North Downs', which is located just north of Bree and corresponds to the South Downs. The influence of the Wayside Fort expanded westwards and began to affect the North Wasteland, the Dark Hills further north than the North Wasteland, and the vast uninhabited wilderness nearby.
There is Annúminas, the former royal city of the Kingdom of Arnor, and Fornost Elain. The former is in the Tomb Hills and the latter is near the North Hill.
Of course, now all that's left is ruins.
However, even though only ruins remain of the once great royal city, and the city is full of weeds and dead trees, it has never been a place that can be invaded and occupied at will.
Before the rangers from Roadside Fort arrived, there were vagrants wandering in this wasteland. They wandered among the ruins of their former homes, fighting against all kinds of dangerous things with inexplicable complex emotions.
The struggle never stops.
Thanks to my favorite Flandre for the 200 points reward, and thanks to the friends who voted, thank you thank you (end of this chapter)
