Carl can understand Gollum's emotions. This guy has long been corrupted by the Lord of the Rings and has become unconscious. The only obsession is to regard the Lord of the Rings as his own, and then give everything for it.
But now, the thing he has been attached to has disappeared, how can he not be sad?
Carl was also thinking at the moment.
The Lord of the Rings fell into the hands of Orcs, and after so long, is it still possible for him to get it back?
Orcs were Sauron's army and minions. Carl had to worry when he thought that the Lord of the Rings had fallen into their hands, and might even have returned to Sauron's possession.
You must know that in the original plot, even if Sauron did not have the Lord of the Rings, he led the army of Orcs, Trolls, etc., under his command to capture the territories and cities of countless humans and elves.
Even, in the end, if the Lord of the Rings was not "thrown" by Gollum into the lava of Doomsday Volcano, it would be destroyed. Middle-earth may all usher in a dark age - the reign of Sauron.
And if Sauron really got the Lord of the Rings now, how powerful would he become?
Carl can only hope now that things can be salvaged; he's going to... go to the Lord of the Rings.
...
After explaining a few words to Gulu, Carl turned around and went out the door.
When he rescued Gulu yesterday, there was a lot of disagreement, and he directly rescued him.
Therefore, everyone's doubts are not small, and he naturally has to explain the situation to them.
...
"What, isn't the murderer that sullen guy?" Sorin and the villagers were confused when they heard Carl's explanation. It turned out that they had been wrong for a long time.
Gollum wasn't the murderer; he was wronged?
Doesn't that mean that the real perpetrators, the Orcs who captured their children, are still spending their days in some cave in the Misty Mountains?
"Warriors, I beg you, help us rescue those poor children," a poor old woman cried.
She was also a victim; the Orcs killed her daughter and son-in-law and took her granddaughter.
"Yes, heroic dwarves, we hope you can help us, and we will be grateful to you for that," cried the others.
They knew that Gollum wasn't the murderer, and that after learning that some children had been captured by Orcs and locked up, they couldn't help but get excited again.
They began to plead for Thorin's help. As for their doubts about the dwarves yesterday, they had already been cast aside.
Hearing this, Sorin hesitated. Of course, he sympathized with the suffering of these villagers.
However, he still has tasks, and he doesn't want to stay here, nor does he want to waste time because of it.
"Go," Carl said suddenly, which made Thorin feel a little strange, and Carl continued, "don't worry, we'll be at the entrance of the city under the mountain before the day of Turin. I promise you too. The city under the mountain will be opened for you at that time."
Carl persuaded Thorin to agree to help the villagers because he was not ready to give up the opportunity.
Although it is said that the possibility of finding the Lord of the Rings is very small, he still has to try it. After all, no one can say for luck.
Sorin saw Carl's promise, and thought of everything that had happened in the past; Carl never seemed to disappoint, so he agreed.
The dwarves set off again, facing the expectant eyes of the villagers in Dasen Village, and they went along the road they came from, looking in the direction of Gushan.
"Hey, damn it, are you sure you're going this way? If you dare to deceive us, I'll kill you with an axe." Groin looked at Gulu who was leading the way in front of him but cursed.
The guy in front of him, crawling on all fours, led them all the way to remote places, but along the way, they didn't see any trace of Orc.
This makes people's hearts inevitably a little doubtful.
"Oh, of course, of course," Gollum laughed, looking a little weird, or a little nervous, "We remember, those guys are in that hole, I'll take you wherever, yes, yes."
Seeing Gulu's performance like this, everyone was not surprised and could only continue to walk forward vigilantly.
They chose to trust Carl, and Carl chose Gollum, so they could only follow him.
Carl could see everyone's doubts about Gollum, and of course, he knew that it was a little reluctant to make people feel completely relieved by Gollum's character and performance.
But he had to choose to let Gollum lead the way.
Because not to mention that they are still being pursued by Azog, the Orc leader.
Just mentioning the terrain of the Misty Mountains makes people feel even more overwhelmed.
The topography of the Misty Mountains is extremely complex, with countless peaks in the mountains, countless crevices on the peaks, and an unknown number of underground caves scattered throughout.
Carl wasn't sure how much time they would have wasted without Gollum, someone familiar with the chassis, leading the way.
Therefore, calling Gulu was a last resort.
The crowd crossed the river, crossed the cliff, and the position became deeper and deeper.
