Chapter 624: The Dark Lord's Resurgence
- The Lord of the Rings has been taken away.
The moment she saw Zhao Weikong dismantling Zhang Xiaoxue into body art in the crystal ball of true knowledge, Xiao Lan already had a rough idea of what happened during the period and what was going to happen next.
He didn't look away any longer, and his face had become extremely gloomy.
"I'm sorry, I think I have the worst news right now." In a tired and frustrated voice, the Majin said in a somewhat lifeless voice, "Perhaps I underestimated the power of the Ring to allure me, during the time I left Lothlorin, it bewitched the Prophet in Galadriel's territory to prevent the Assassins, and the woman managed to somehow snatch the Ring from Frodo, and escaped from the Golden Forest with its stealth and stealth powers, and then "sent" it to the Assassin who was waiting for the other Sen, along with her own life......
"The Lord of the Rings?" Gandalf's face changed directly, and he almost wanted to reach out and snatch the crystal ball of true knowledge, but in the end he resisted the decision.
"Are you sure?" The wizard asked, "Anyway, it shouldn't have reached Mordor yet, because my Ring of Fire hasn't been corroded yet." ”
He raised his palm as he said this, and a delicate ring inlaid with rubies still shone in the moonlight, like a burning flowing flame, and the glow emitted instantly dispelled the surrounding darkness, and then the wizard looked at Xiao Lan, who was a little wrong, and continued, "I really know that the crystal ball can determine the location of the target, since you know the whereabouts of the ring." It's not impossible to catch up at your speed, right? ”
However, the demon shook his head directly, and had no intention of getting up to chase after him.
"Everything I see from the crystal ball will be seen by Sauron, and he now knows the whereabouts of the Ring as well. And no matter what happened when the Ring was taken away, Sauron's evil eye will completely lock on to its target in the next few hours," he paused, then showed a difficult wry smile, "But even this situation is okay, even if I am stared at by Sauron's evil eye, as long as I can catch up with the target, I can still forcibly take back the Ring, but the reality is much more cruel than that...... Except for the armies of the Ringwraith and Mordor who can meet it. That Assassin was much faster than you think, and the Lord of the Rings must have crossed the Black Gate of Moranan by this time, right? ”
Everyone was silent, and Xiao Lan raised the crystal ball of true knowledge again.
He no longer reconnoitred of his own volition. Instead, he actively connected his consciousness to another crystal ball, hoping to see something he didn't know through the shared link, that is, to regain the dark shadow he had seen before but was forcibly dispersed by him...... This time, he saw exactly the whole picture.
It's a long, narrow valley. It is a deep valley full of shadows that cuts directly into the mountains. The heavens and the earth as far as they could see were shrouded in darkness. But in the high tower that stood at the end of the valley, or in the dead city, there was a light, not the moonlight that had been imprisoned in the walls of bright marble for a long time, but the pale light that the moon emitted when it had eclips, a thick fog with a corrupting smell like ghostly fire, completely unable to illuminate anything around it. There are many windows in the towers and walls, like countless black holes leading to nothingness, but the very top of the tower exudes a ghostly aura of the forest.
- Minas Cave.
The Tower of the Rising Moon, which once shone brightly in the valley, is now a witchcraft castle controlled by the Witch King of Agmar.
The strongest front line where Mordor concentrates its forces. Filled with undying fear, the city and the valley were filled with corruption. On the surface, it may seem empty, but in fact, the ruins are inhabited by the fear of the disembodied body, and the Ring Spirit that was once killed by Xiao Lan and Groffindelle in Rivendell is the owner of this place.
But Witchcraft Castle, why Witchcraft Castle?
Xiao Lan asked himself suspiciously, and then he quickly got the answer.
He was only looking through the Crystal of Knowledge, but he felt almost there, and at that moment, he felt the rocks beneath his feet shake violently, and a deafening muffled sound echoed through the mountains across the ground.
Then, a blinding red light suddenly shot out—
Far to the east, this red light shot into the sky, staining all the low clouds blood-red. In this valley full of shadows and pale shimmers, the red light was unbearable, and the steep mountains were even more eerie, followed by a great thunderclap.
The Minas Cave responded, lightning bolts shot out of the tower into the cloudy sky, blue-white electric snakes ran out between the tower and the neighboring hills, licking the low black haze, the earth wailed, and from the city came a piercing wail, combining the cold howls of vultures and the neighing of horses in fear and rage, and a heart-rending shrill sound came from the city, slowly rising until it exceeded the limits of human hearing.
What is it? Xiao Lan didn't expect that the other people around him had already turned abrupt in an instant.
Shadows suddenly enveloped them at this moment, and the bright moonlight was obscured in an instant. Aragorn's horses screamed in amazement, and trembled and wailed, as if trying to dodge the attack from the sky. The heroes also suddenly felt extremely frightened and cold, and a dark form like a dark cloud flew over the moon, blocking the original bright moonlight, and everyone saw that it was a huge winged monster, sucking out all the light like a black hole in the night. It hovered over the heads of the people, faster than any wind in the world, and even the stars were disgraced wherever it passed.
"Ringwraith!" Gandalf looked up at the sky, his hands clenched into fists, and he shouted, "It's Mordor's messenger, Saruman used the Crystal of Truth when he was trapped, and he actually whispered to the Dark Lord for help!" ”
Legolas felt a chill flow through them, and their hearts were about to stop, a terrifying chill like a cold wind rolling up in winter, mercilessly making their whole bodies feel as if they were immersed in ice water. They lay down, ready to hide, but time seemed to slow down, and each time they lifted their feet, it seemed like they had to struggle for minutes.
It's just that at this moment, the elven bow suddenly chanted loudly.
Accompanied by the plucking of the bowstring by the elves, the sharp sound of breaking the air composed an exorcism song. The winged monster began to shake almost directly above Glorfindelle's head, and then a hoarse scream came from the air, and the monster seemed to fall into the darkness of the east, staggered for a moment, and then regained its balance and flew back to the north, and then all was calm.
"Didn't miss...... the elven nobleman frowned, still holding his bow that radiated a bright glow in his hand, "They are much stronger than the original when they ride the Dreadwyvern, and they have a great advantage in being able to fly, there are three rings like this besides him, including the Witch King of Witchcraft Castle, I didn't expect that we couldn't even leave one of them without preparation." ”
Can't stay?
Flora was stunned for a moment, and her beautiful eyes immediately fell on her man.
Majin is an existence that can control time, and although this power has not yet been shown in this world, he is definitely able to leave the enemy behind so that he cannot escape, but why?
Her questions didn't have time to be answered, and the sudden abnormality had already caught everyone off guard.
"Wait, how are you, how are you?" The angel was about to cry suddenly, because in front of her eyes, Xiao Lan, who was staring at the crystal ball, suddenly stiffened all over her body at this moment, and her face turned into a bloodless white in an instant, and then became extremely distorted and even exuded evil, as if she had suddenly been attacked by an extremely strong spirit, and just when she didn't know how to deal with this situation, another scream sounded beside her.
"The Lord of the Rings!" Gandalf shouted, "Sauron has taken the Ring!"
His screams came from his bleeding palms, and the wizard struggled to pull a ruby-encrusted ring from his finger without the slightest hesitation, even if the action wore through his skin, and Flora believed that he could even cut it off with a single knife if necessary! (To be continued......)
