A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 387 What a pure dark power
The little black cat shook its head and lay down lazily.

Seeing this, Lin Yi smiled, lowered his arms, looked at Gandalf and asked.

"Since the Ring Spirits have been released, shall we still enter the tombs in the mountains?"

"……certainly."

Gandalf came back to his senses and nodded slowly.

"The seals of the tombs are very strong. It is absolutely impossible for a single ring spirit to break from the inside, so there must be external help. Since the three ring spirits just now are still hovering between the surrounding mountains, it means..."

"It means that the person who broke the seal is still in the tombs."

Lin Yi nodded, indicating that he had understood.

"In that case, let's go in quickly!"

After speaking, Lin Yi walked into the cave first.

Gandalf followed closely behind, but his eyes lingered vaguely around Lin Yi's shoulders.

……

……

Dol Guldur.

In this dark land, everything looks dead.

The trees in the forest have withered for thousands of years, their shapes are pale and distorted. There is not a trace of leaves on the trees, let alone birds. The air is filled with the rotten smell of fallen leaves. The thick rotting leaves exposed the dense white bones below.

Everything was silent, only the sound of the wind blowing through the mountain gap still sounded as usual.

— Generally speaking, it is true.

But today, in Dol Guldur's well-known necromancer's lair in Middle-earth, a roar full of anger and faint panic came out. All the dark creatures in the territory who heard the roar couldn't help but stop their current actions. , shivering there.

In the dark necromancer's lair, a figure wearing a black cloak turned his back to the cave entrance. The darkness flowed out from the hem of the cloak like mist, continuously dissipating in the air.

Suddenly, it seemed that the dark woven cloak was ignited by something, and it started to burn rapidly from the end, and the black flame spread upward in an instant.

The black shadow immediately sensed the strange situation behind him, and without hesitation tore off the cloak on his body, and threw it on the ground.

The cloak was discarded and burned, and a figure in full body armor appeared in the lair.

He was wearing a ferocious silver-gray armor, a helmet full of spikes, complicated and mysterious evil spells engraved on the breastplate, curved blades like sharp claws on the shoulder armor and many joints, and the crown on the top of his head The sharp thorns shot straight into the sky like sharp swords, and a pair of bright red vertical pupils like flames were exposed from the V-shaped gap of the visor.

From a distance, it looks like a killing machine covered in sharp blades.

If Gandalf was here, he would immediately recognize his identity, because he was the dark enemy that Gandalf had a hunch and had been on guard for a long time——Sauron!
In the next era, Sauron suffered a tragic defeat in the Battle of the Last Alliance, and for a long time lost the ability to condense entities. Until around 1000 in the third era, Sauron's spirit body gradually recovered and solidified, and A necromancer who quietly incarnated as a human, began to live in the Great Green Forest, where he built a fortress called Dol Guldur.

At first, the world thought it was a returned ring spirit causing rebellion (only part of the tombs in the mountains were buried), so they didn't feel too much threat. Only the woodland kingdom whose territory had been eroded angrily launched an army against Dol Gurdur. Many dark creatures fight.

But no one, or elf, has really seen the so-called necromancer.

Therefore, the Holy White Council composed of the gray robe wizard Gandalf, the white robe wizard Saruman, the elf Galadriel and others sensed that something was wrong, and began to secretly investigate the true identity of the necromancer.

If Lin Yi hadn't interrupted the situation, Gandalf would have sneaked into Dol Guldur within half a month and discovered Sauron's true identity.

At this moment, Sauron in the lair was standing there, holding the shining crystal ball in his right hand, looking at the cloak in the air that was burned by the black flames in amazement.

"what happened?"

"What is that flame?"

"Who killed the ring spirit?!"

A series of questions flashed in Sauron's mind, and his eyes were full of anger and surprise.

He could sense that three ring spirits had died, and they were truly dead. Even he couldn't revive them, and even the attempt to recall them attracted the terrifying black flame just now.

Thinking of that black flame, Sauron's heart felt heavy as if a big stone was falling.

Fortunately, the nine ring spirits had already been conquered by Sauron, so that he would submit to him without wearing the ring of power, so he took back the nine rings of power a long time ago.

And as long as the ring of power is still in his hands, things like ring spirits are reproducible resources.

So the death of the Nazgold would only make Sauron angry and troubled, but it would not surprise him.

What really surprised him was the black flame.

There is no doubt that that black flame is definitely pure dark power, and it is even higher than him in terms of the purity and power of darkness.

Sauron didn't know exactly how high it was, after all, he had only seen the black flame once.

Moreover, the meeting was quite hasty this time, and there was not much time left for him to spy.

"When did such a powerful dark force appear on Middle Earth?"

Sauron frowned tightly, raised the crystal ball in his hand after pondering for a while.

A burst of light flashed across the crystal ball, and the crystal ball suddenly floated slowly in the air.

Sauron immediately took a step back, and a huge flame ignited in the dark lair, forming a huge eye of flame behind him, and the thick darkness covered Sauron's body, forming the giant eye. pitch-black vertical pupils.

The darkness gathered, Sauron said in a deep voice.

"Immediately gather the army and march towards the tombs in the mountains. A powerful dark force has appeared there. I need to find out whether this force is an enemy or a friend."

"Mordor stands still, if the situation is not right, I will go back to sit in Mordor..."

After issuing several orders in succession, a glint of haze flashed in Sauron's eyes.

Even with such a precise order, Sauron was still worried.

There is no way, few orcs and half-orcs under him have brains, and the only one who has a brain is Azog, who is still trapped in the tombs in the mountains, and is very likely to be killed indiscriminately by the inexplicable strong man.

Therefore, if you want to find out information about this unknown enemy, you can't just rely on these idiots in the underworld...

Thinking of this, Sauron turned around, and the pure darkness was woven into a cloak again, covering his whole body. A bright red flame ignited in his bright yellow vertical pupils, and he looked at the crystal ball in his hand with a slightly pensive gaze.

Well, Bai Dao has to work hard too!
……

……

On the other side, Lin Yi didn't know that the fire had burned Sauron's cloak.

But he knew very well that there was a high probability that Sauron already knew the whereabouts of himself and others.

After all, the three ring spirits who died completely should be the only novelty for Sauron in thousands of years.

Gandalf also thought so, and he felt that they must move as soon as possible, at least to leave the tombs on the mountain before Sauron's host came.

Following behind Lin Yi, Gandalf was thinking about things related to Sauron, but he couldn't help but stare at the drowsy little black cat on Lin Yi's shoulder.

After seeing the karma of war, he knew very well how powerful and pure dark power was hidden under this cute appearance.

But then again, why would such a powerful evil stay with His Excellency Lin Yi?

Gandalf is very sure that Lin Yi must be kind by nature, because only kind creatures can show an expression of enjoyment in the sun under the dazzling white light just now.

Your Excellency Lin Yi must be Vera or a descendant of Vera from the good camp!
This is the judgment made by Gandalf after releasing the holy light.

It was also the reason why he still didn't turn around and flee after seeing the dark power of the little black cat.

But it is still very difficult to understand!
Gandalf couldn't stop staring at the person and the cat in front of him, and after pondering and tormenting for a while, he finally couldn't help asking.

"Your Excellency Lin Yi, your partner..."

"Butch."

"Your Excellency Butch's power seems to be... something wrong?"

"Something went wrong?"

Lin Yi glanced at Gandalf suspiciously, then turned his head to look at the little black cat on his shoulder, stretched out a finger and stroked its soft side, silver-white sword qi gushed out from his fingertips and sank into it. The body of a little black cat.

The drowsy little black cat immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately shook its head uncomfortably. The black mist scattered on its body surface, driving out the silver-white sword qi.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lin Yi quickly picked up a trace of black mist, put it in front of him to look at it, then raised his head, looked at Gandalf seriously and said.

"Look, what a pure dark power, how can there be any problems?"

"..."

And that's the biggest problem!

The corner of Gandalf's mouth twitched for a while, and after pondering for a while, he still gritted his teeth and spoke bluntly.

"But your power doesn't come from darkness, why do you bring a partner who has fallen into darkness?"

"So you said this!"

Lin Yi suddenly looked dazed, and then waved his hands indifferently.

"Hey! What's the matter, Manwe and Morgoth are still brothers! Isn't it also a light and a darkness?"
