"He must have felt the death of the Ring Spirit, so he wanted to check on the situation, but he just missed it with us!"

Gandalf had a strange look on his face, and for a moment he didn't know if Sauron was lucky or unlucky.

"That's how it should be."

Lin Yi shook his head, his fingers moved slightly, and two flying swords staggered through the body of this half-orc, ending his last pain almost instantly.

The half-orc didn't expect Lin Yi to make a sudden move, and there was a hint of happiness on his face before he died.

Gandalf's expression did not change at all, and he had no opinion on Lin Yi's actions, because even if Lin Yi didn't make a move, he would have taken action and ended up with this half-orc.

This is a world of black and white on the camp, and the balance between black and white has not yet been found.

The two flying swords swung in the air, pouring down two streams of blood, and then disappeared into Lin Yi's hands.

Lin Yi's body shone with a silver-white light, and his feet slowly left the ground and floated into the interior of Dogurdu.

Gandalf picked up his longsword that had fallen to the ground and stepped into the rubble as well.

"Is this Sauron's lair?"

"It should be said that it is a temporary lair, and Mordor is his home base."

Gandalf said as he walked through the dark, damp passageway.

On both sides of the passage, countless shadows piled up in the corners, as if some evil darkness was lurking in them.

Lin Yi didn't dodge these black mist and shadows in the slightest, as long as the feet wrapped in silver-white sword rays fell to the ground, the darkness in the shadows faded like a frightened tide.

Gandalf's current body does not have this ability, so he can only raise the staff in his hand, hold the magic stone on the staff, and blow it like a candle.

"Whew~Whew~"

The Philosopher's Stone lit up.

Lin Yi: "......"

Gandalf raised his staff without changing his face, a soft white light shining over the passage like a spring day.

Lin Yi tugged at the corners of his mouth, silently withdrew his gaze, and walked into the castle under the light of Gandalf's flashlight.

Not to mention, this old guy's light is really powerful, it can not only illuminate the shadows and darkness in the corners of the wall, but even take care of some blind spots that cannot be illuminated on the physical level.

Sensing Newton's somewhat restless coffin board, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask his doubts, only to know that Gandalf's holy light was not actually shining from the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is just a carrier, a positioning coordinate and transit point for the Holy Light to shine into reality from a higher dimension.

In fact, even if he didn't have a magic stone, Gandalf could borrow this powerful holy light power from above by installing a gem or crystal, and the magic stone only made him consume less.

It's so sloppy!

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and he decided not to discuss similar things with Gandalf again.

Soon, the two of them reached the depths of Doguldu, where they encountered a dozen orcs who had been stoned to death by the collapsed castle, as well as four or five wolves and two dark creatures in the shape of flying beasts.

Of course, these dark creatures have become the souls of Lin Yi and Gandalf's swords.

Entering a room filled with the power of darkness, Gandalf raised his staff in the air, and the light radiating from the Philosopher's Stone became more and more brilliant, illuminating the room as if it were daylight.

"There is no danger."

Lin Yi put his sword into the sheath, his dark eyes scanned left and right in the room, and finally locked onto a stone platform in the center of the room.

"What's that?"

Lin Yi's puzzled voice sounded, Gandalf followed his gaze, and suddenly saw a strange object wrapped in black cloth and shaped like a trophy.

This thing is......

Gandalf looked at the strangely shaped object with a slightly stunned expression, and at this time, Lin Yi had already walked to the side of the stone platform, and his right hand, wrapped in a silver-white sword, lifted the black cloth that shrouded it.

The black cloth was removed, and a black crystal ball appeared in the field of vision of the two of them, and the thick darkness filled the crystal ball like mist, and below it was placed a pitch-black base like a dragon's claw, on which a huge vertical pupil relief was carved.

"Sure enough, it's Parantir! I'll just say how Sauron can communicate with the outside world under the shroud of hidden spells, it turns out that he used a true knowledge crystal! ”

Gandalf's tone was tinged with joy and abruptness.

Lin Yi was also a little surprised, he knew the name of this thing.

Palantir, also known as the "Crystal of Knowledge", is a magical crystal ball created by the Noldor elf Fëanor, with the ability to see things in the distance and communicate between two places.

And this ability to look far away is very perverted.

Judging from the description in the original book, as long as there is light in the observed place, Zhenzhi Crystal can clearly see the image there, and it is not disturbed by any terrain and buildings.

Not only that, but the Crystal also preserves the images recorded by the user, so you can use it to see not only the current things, but also many ancient images that have passed away.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the maker of the True Knowing Crystal - Fëanor.

He is the eldest son of Fenway, the first Noldor Elven King, the greatest wise man and leader in the history of the Elves, and an Elven craftsman of great skill, including the Elven Diamond, the Lamp of Fëanor, and the Crystal of Knowledge.

Fëanor's active age was before the First Age, and the Crystal of Truth produced by him has been preserved for countless years, and through the visual power of the Crystal, users can absorb a lot of mysterious knowledge from ancient times.

It was because of his thirst for this ancient knowledge that the white-robed wizard Saruman probed deeper and deeper into the true knowledge crystal, until one day, he accidentally probed Doguldu......

"Gandalf, do you know how to use this thing?"

"Of course I do." Gandalf nodded, and stepped forward with the staff in hand, "The True Knowing Hedron has upper and lower poles, and it can only be used to use its vertical axis to align with the center of the earth, and the lower pole facing downwards, as it does now. ”

As he spoke, Gandalf's right hand lightly pressed on the Truth Crystal, then spun slightly.

In the next second, an extremely slight flame appeared inside the black spar, beating like a candle flame in the night.

Gandalf took a step back and stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi with a smile: "Let's take a look first, I'm worried about what Sauron has done to this true knowledge crystal." ”

Lin Yi: "......"

Lin Yi rolled his eyes angrily, but his body still walked in front of the True Knowing Crystal very honestly.

Gandalf has his plans, and Lin Yi naturally has his own little abacus.

In his concept, since the risk is taken by him, the result must naturally be picked by him!

As long as he looked at it, then this True Knowing Crystal was his......

Lin Yi walked up to the True Knowing Crystal and asked Gandalf with his eyes - very good, Gandalf didn't say anything, obviously he should have acquiesced in his own idea and agreed to give this crystal to himself.

Lin Yi bent down with satisfaction, looked at the crystal and asked.

"What should I do?"

"You need to look at the place you want to see, look at that place on an axis through the center point, and then the image will appear on the sphere close to you, with the center clear and the surrounding blurred...... See? ”

"Well, I see, it's just that the picture is a little small."

"It's normal, but the ability of the True Crystal is not the only one, as long as the user's mind is strong enough, a certain part of the image can be zoomed in, even to an extremely subtle degree - wait, where are you looking?"

Gandalf was talking on the side, talking about the direction of Lin Yi's observation that he only found out halfway through, and immediately widened his eyes and quickly interrupted Lin Yi's observation.

"Of course it's the Roslorian Forest!" Lin Yi raised his head dissatisfied, "Who called this thing still have a limited range, don't let me see the beautiful elves of the Roslorian Forest, do you want me to see those disgusting dark creatures?" ”

Speaking of this, Lin Yi's words couldn't help but pause, and then he looked at Gandalf with a look of surprise, and the tone coming from his mouth instantly raised an octave.

"Do you suspect me of using the True Knowing Hedron to peek at the female elves?"

"How could that ?!!?"

"I am the strongest sword saint in the human world, a righteous man and a gentleman praised by the world, how could I do such a shameless thing!"

"Gandalf, Gandalf, I didn't expect your thick eyebrows and big eyes to have such a dirty mind!"

Gandalf: "......"

Looking at Lin Yi, who was upright, Gandalf couldn't help but kindly remind: "Your Excellency Lin Yi, if there is no specific spell, the True Knowledge Crystal will record all the effects that the user sees. ”

The corners of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and then he said righteously: "So what, I'm not afraid of shadows, and I haven't done anything unseemly, are you still afraid that it will be recorded?" ”

“…… Then you might as well put it back! ”

"No, I'm going to take it away."

Lin Yi pouted his lips while holding the True Knowledge Crystal, and then looked at Gandalf and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gandalf, you probably won't rob me, will you?"

"Of course not."

Gandalf shook his head with a wry smile, and then glanced at Lin Yi deeply.

"But please be careful with your use, for tens of thousands of years, these true knowledge crystals don't know how much ancient and evil knowledge has been recorded, and if you snoop rashly, it is easy to be affected by those knowledge...... If you've fallen into darkness, I can't think of anyone else who can stop Middle-earth from falling into darkness. ”

"Then you can rest assured!"

Lin Yi's face regained a faint but calm look.

"In this world, unless Morgoth himself intervenes, or I voluntarily descend into darkness, the situation you speak of will never come to pass!"

Looking at the faint but confident face, Gandalf finally saw the familiar glow of divinity in it, and immediately nodded with relief.

In the next second, Lin Yi quietly came over again: "Gandalf, that spell ...... Do you know? ”

Gandalf: "......"
