Angban's doors are not exposed.

Although all the elves believed that the three massive volcanoes that reached up to the clouds were the gateways to the enemy's lair, the actual portal was only one of them.

The volcano is guarded by two other volcanoes in the center, with the gateway at its lowest level.

The road leading to the gate was also very barren, and the sparsely planted ground was raised, like a large area of low rocks that existed around the peaks.

Charles had been to Zangolojm, but he had not seen the real gateway, not even approaching the central volcano, but had reached a cliff on the western side of the volcano with Fingon and the others.

So at this moment, he is actually approaching for the first time.

The grassy plains of southern Angban appear to be beautiful, but as he goes deeper, the vegetation around him becomes scarcer and the light becomes dimmer.

Walking on the uneven rocky surface, in front of which is a rocky road that does not form a road, you can see the gloomy gray color of the sky when you look up.

The black fog rising from the crater at the top seemed to be faintly connected with the clouds. It looked like the thick clouds were actually thick fog coming out of the crater.

Charles was still wearing the same outfit he had worn from his travels, black close-fitting armor underneath, brown knee-length robes, black and gold boots and leggings on his feet, and a gray hooded cloak on the outer.

But actually, he's in a special state right now.

If there were outsiders, then you would find that although shallow footprints continued to appear on the mud and stone surface as Charles hurried, he could not actually be seen!

Cloak of invisibility.

It consisted of a secret text he called an illusion mixed with an elven cloak.

The effect is not really invisible, but it will automatically change his appearance, making his whole person look as if he doesn't exist.

The prototype of this cloak is from the Transfiguration Charm,

The Cloak of Invisibility is one of the magical items that the Charr carries.

In addition to this, he also wore a silver metal mask, which had the effect of restraining his entire body.

At the same time, he also wears a metal bracelet on his wrist, which can give him an instant increase in strength, and the amethyst forehead ornament on his forehead will make his heart tough.

The hair accessories that bind the black hair also had the effect of making his head clear.

There are some other inconspicuous existences, which are basically auxiliary supplies, but there are few that are truly lethal, or in other words, there is only a dagger that instantly bursts into powerful power.

So this time he came to save people, not to kill.

In other words, if he really needs to use force, then the situation is obviously not something he can resist.

Holding a heavy weapon is not only useless, but will drag down his journey. After all, he doesn't have the so-called space equipment, and all kinds of items can only be carried with him.

……

As we progressed, the surrounding low mountains gradually rose to the top, eventually forming an eerie valley that shaded the light.

The road beneath your feet became narrower and narrower, and at last it seemed to become a stone bridge that meandered forward, and the rock walls of the deep valley were steep and high, and at the top fell countless black ugly vultures, whose hoarse cries were terrible and terrifying.

The sides of the stone bridge are filled with hideous cracks, which look as deep as a bottomless pit.

Wisps of gray smoke swirled through the rift or steamed, and the surrounding temperature was hot, rising as he went deeper.

However, there are many snakes that inhabit this environment.

I saw that there were constantly black poisonous snakes with slippery and shiny surfaces crawling out from under the cracks on both sides, and finally entrenched or crossed the surface of the bridge.

The snakes were dense underfoot, making it difficult for Charles to walk here, and his cloak of invisibility, though it could deceive the eyes, did not seem to be effective against snakes, so the attacks were endless.

Fortunately, the mask worn by Charles had the effect of reversing the coercion in addition to astringent aura, and after he activated it, the snakes ran away one after another.

Charles finally made it to the gates of Angban.

The gate is made of heavy black rock, and although it looks large at first glance, it resembles an inconspicuous depression in the roots of a tree compared to the towering volcano that surrounds it.

At this time, the depression was tightly closed, and it had not been opened for a long time, so that its surface was covered with dust and cobwebs, and at a cursory glance, there was not the slightest gap.

Standing in front of the gate of this building dozens of meters high, Charles remained invisible.

He wasn't too worried about the possibility of exposure here, because some elven scouts would usually arrive here every once in a while to observe, and there was no reaction inside the door.

At the same time, he didn't start preparing to sneak in immediately, but hid in the shadow of a crater on the right side of the gate for a moment.

No elf will know how big the enemy's lair is.

But at the very least, it's definitely not any smaller than any city in the world.

This is secondary, and most importantly, how strong is the mysterious Morgoth?

If you only look at his identity, then it is clear that this one is very strong, and in ancient times he even fought against all Veras in his own right.

And now, although it is said that the one who used all his power to nurture darkness and dispersed too much, there are still many strange methods.

Thinking back to the various rumors of the great enemy collected in the past and the analysis of the elven sages.

Charles hesitated suddenly, but after a short pause, his figure disappeared into the shadows behind him.

After the age of fifty, his talent for shadows was enough to allow him to travel back and forth through that strange space to a certain range of shadows, and to stay in that space for a while.

This is a far safer means of escape than stealth, and it is the main reliance of his trip.

The light and shadow flickered, the world turned upside down, and reappeared, and the surroundings had become an empty and silent square!

At the end of the square was the portal, surrounded by dark towers with sharp tops.

At the end stood a massive fortress with torches that made it look like a beast lurking in the shadows.

Only at this time the beast is dormant.

As far as the eye could see, the walls of the fortress, which resembled small castles, were patrolled by orc soldiers, but they were few and in a lazy state, and he even saw one or two yawning while patrolling, very lax.

Apparently the Great Enemy did not think that anyone would be able to break through his gates.

The surroundings look gloomy, but it's not cold, it's more stuffy than the outside.

When he arrived, he didn't act immediately, but pulled out a translucent crystal ball containing clouds and mist, and looked down.

The crystal ball had a certain amount of foresight, and while it wasn't as powerful as one of the spells he had learned, it was better than nothing.

Now that he has entered Angban, he is not prepared to use spells rashly, because the changes to the surrounding environment are more direct and obvious, and the probability of being detected is relatively higher.

So the Charles has prepared many alternatives, and the Prophetic Crystal is one of them.

Holding the crystal ball, after contemplating it for a while, a feedback was quietly transmitted to the bottom of his heart, so he no longer hesitated.

Began to move rapidly in the direction of the fortress.

There was no accident, nor was it tight on the outside and loose on the inside, but he crossed the small castle that should have been very tight, and appeared in a long corridor that was firmly guarded behind him.

The corridor was empty and silent, drowning in darkness, but full of light at the end.

As we walked forward, the light became more and more apparent.

Eventually, when Charles crossed the corridor and arrived at the source of light, he stopped on the spot.

Because ahead is a ...... filled with thick firelight Abyss!
