Chapter 343 Opportunity
"Gulu caught it."
As soon as he came, this outstanding ranger brought Levi important news.
"Tell me more."
"It was sent by the lame Uruk chief himself, who captured Gollum in the pass near Minas Morgul."
"In addition, he also said that there are spies from Mordor following Gollum, and it seems that they want Gollum to lead them to find something."
Levi nodded and asked, "Where is Gollum now?"
"There were a lot of people watching him right inside the stronghold at the intersection."
"Okay, I understand."
The ranger brought all the information, whispered with Levi about other trivial matters for a while, and then left for the time being with Levi's new instructions.
"We have new things to do, Gandalf."
Back on the city wall, Levi relayed the information the ranger had brought.
"Okay, great."
Gandalf nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go find Gollum now. He must know a lot of useful things."
"Besides, I heard from your people that he was released from Mordor, which means that the enemy must also know something. We cannot fall behind in intelligence."
"That makes sense, let's go."
Levi waved his hand and got on his horse first.
He told Gandalf, "The Crossroads is not a completely safe place. I will go there first to transfer Gollum to another place. Well, let's go to the South River. I will wait for you in the city of South River."
"What a hurry." Gandalf complained and followed Levi to the roadside castle.
Taking the roadside fort as the starting point, Levi arrived at the crossroads from the hell passage, while Gandalf walked onto the heavenly road and slowly walked towards the Nanhetao.
When Gandalf had not yet completed one-third of the total journey, Levi had already arrived at the crossroads stronghold.
Crunch.
The ranger stationed here opened an iron door for him.
A little creature curled up in the corner slowly raised its head and made an unpleasant gurgling sound from its throat. The voice was full of fear.
"Gurgle..."
Levi called out his name.
"This isn't the first time we've met, you must remember that, right?"
"I know you. You were originally a Hobbit of the Strong Family. It was only because of some evil thing beyond your control that you became what you are now."
Long-lost memories flooded into his mind, and Gulu's eyes widened, wondering what the man in front of him meant by saying this.
"And I know more than that. I also know that you killed your best friend, then fled the scene to become a despicable thief and robber, harming people everywhere..."
"No!!!"
Gulu glared and yelled, arguing: "You are wrong, we are not thieves, we are the ones whose things were stolen!!"
"Watch the way you speak."
The ranger at the side couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he grabbed Gollum's neck and made him quiet down.
"Cough, cough, cough... ugh..."
Gollum struggled weakly and immediately felt a little out of breath.
Levi waved his hand, so the ranger put him down and threw him to the ground.
"Gurgle..."
Gollum twisted his body on the ground. He finally understood his position and no longer dared to yell.
"Don't argue with me. I've said before, I know what you did in the past. Even your family couldn't stand your evil deeds. If your grandmother hadn't kicked you out, your only fate would have been to lose your life in the public outrage."
After saying these words with a stern face, Levi approached Gulu again, slowly squatted down, and said in a gentle tone under the gaze of Gulu's innocent big eyes:
"I know you still have a trace of conscience in your body, and you regret what you have done, right?"
Gulu didn't say anything, he just lowered his head and made a gurgling sound in his throat.
Levi could hear a sense of depression in it.
If someone else said this to Guru, he might not even bother to pay attention and would just turn around and walk away.
But here, he must listen and think about these words seriously, otherwise neither Levi nor the ranger beside Levi is easy to deal with.
Even if one of them looks fierce, the other may seem a little softer.
All these factors, under many restrictions, allowed Gollum to reveal a hint of true emotion.
It was all forced.
"You still have a chance to change."
It is hard to say that Gollum has not made any contribution to the freedom camp.
After all, he was a Hobbit before. Even if he got the One Ring, he could only do some bad things such as stealing and cheating.
If any other race got the One Ring, the harm caused would definitely be much greater than his.
In a sense, the fact that he hid in a cave with the One Ring for more than five hundred years without coming out to harm anyone can actually be considered a contribution to peace.
Five hundred years.
The One Ring has been played for five hundred years in "The Lord of the Rings: Gollum". If it were not just an evil ring without emotions, it would probably have gone crazy before Gollum.
“Change…?” Gollum was attracted by Levi’s words.
"Yes, repent - but the prerequisite is that you must first atone for the evil things you have done before. When the sins are fully atonement, you can be free."
"We were always free until we were caught!" Gollum suddenly said in a low voice with a ferocious expression.
After saying this, his eyes suddenly became clear, and he said to himself in a frightened manner: "But we have never been truly free..."
"Shut up, shut up..."
“He said give us a chance…”
Guru covered his head and struggled, his voice sometimes ferocious and aggressive, sometimes timid and cowardly.
Levi stood up, glanced at the ranger next to him and signaled to him.
"Give him something to eat."
"Once you're full, it's time to go."
"Depart? Where to?" Gollum's attention was attracted by Levi's words.
He looked up at Levi and said, "Are you looking for treasure too? We can take you there, just don't hurt us..."
"Not interested."
Levi shook his head.
"There are other people who want to see you. Wait, be honest and behave well. No one will hurt you."
Gollum subconsciously looked at the ranger beside him.
The Ranger said sternly, "Lord Levi will definitely do what he said. You don't need to doubt his promise just now."
"Okay, okay, we won't move, we won't move, we'll just stay still..."
The gate closed and Levi left with the ranger who was responsible for guarding Gollum.
Just when Gollum breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, the ranger came back.
Gollum immediately tensed up all over.
He was all too familiar with this situation.
In Mordor, after each interrogation, the Orcs would come and torture him again, whipping him, kicking him, and beating him with fists...
"I knew we were going to be tortured again. There is no trust at all, Gulu..."
"What are you talking about?"
The ranger frowned and asked in the face of Gulu's puzzled look: "What do you eat, meat or vegetables, do you like it raw or cooked?"
