A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Chapter 398
"He must have felt the death of the ring spirit, so he wanted to check the situation, but he just missed us!"

Gandalf looked strange, and for a moment he didn't know whether Sauron was lucky or not.

"It should be so."

Lin Yi nodded, moved his fingers slightly, and two flying swords swished across the half-orc's body, ending his last pain almost instantly.

The half-orc didn't expect Lin Yi to attack suddenly, and there was a trace of rejoicing on his face before he died.

Gandalf's expression remained unchanged, and he had no opinion on Lin Yi's actions, because even if Lin Yi hadn't made a move, he would have killed the orc.

This is a world where black and white are clearly defined in camps. The balance between black and white has not yet been found. Basically, when you meet, you will die or you will live. There is no third option.

The two flying swords waved in the air, pouring down two streams of blood, which disappeared in Lin Yi's hands immediately.

Lin Yi shone with silvery white light all over his body, his feet slowly left the ground, and floated into the interior of Dol Guldur.

Gandalf picked up the long sword he had dropped on the ground, and stepped in through the ruins.

"Is this Sauron's lair?"

"It should be said to be a temporary lair, and Mordor is his base camp."

As Gandalf spoke, he walked along this dark and damp passage.

On both sides of the passage, countless shadows piled up in the corners, and it seemed that there was some evil darkness hiding in it.

Lin Yi did not avoid these black mist and shadows at all. As long as his feet covered with silver-white sword lights fell on the ground, the darkness in the shadows would fade 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 Philosopher's Stone on the staff, and blow it like a candle.

"hu~hu~"

The Philosopher's Stone lit up.

Lin Yi: "..."

Gandalf raised his staff without changing his expression, and soft white light sprinkled the entire passage like a spring sun.

Lin Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, silently looked away, and walked into the castle under the light of Gandalf's flashlight.

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

Sensing Newton's restless coffin board, Lin Yi couldn't bear to ask his own doubts, and only then did he know that Gandalf's holy light did not actually shine from the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is just a carrier, and it is the positioning coordinates and transfer station for the holy light to shine into reality from a higher dimension.

In fact, even if there is no Sorcerer's Stone, Gandalf can borrow this powerful power of holy light from above if he puts a gem or crystal at will. The Sorcerer's Stone just makes him consume less.

It's so sloppy!
The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and he decided not to discuss similar matters with Gandalf.

Soon, the two came to the depths of Dol Gurdur, and encountered a dozen half-orcs who were crushed to death by the collapsed castle, as well as four or five wargs and two dark creatures that looked like flying beasts.

As a matter of course, these dark creatures have become the souls of Lin Yi and Gandalf's sword.

Entering a room full of strong dark power, Gandalf raised the staff in his hand high, and the light emitted from the Philosopher's Stone became brighter and brighter, illuminating the whole room as if it were daytime.

"No danger."

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

"what is that?"

Lin Yi's doubtful voice sounded, and Gandalf followed his gaze, and immediately saw a strange trophy-like object wrapped in black cloth.

This thing is...

Gandalf stared at the strangely shaped object with a dazed expression. At this time, Lin Yi had already walked to the side of the stone platform, and lifted the black cloth covering it with his right hand, which was wrapped in a silver-white sword light.

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

"Sure enough, it's Palantir! I said how Sauron could communicate with the outside world under the cover of a hidden spell. It turns out that he used a crystal of true knowledge!"

There was a hint of joy and surprise in Gandalf's tone.

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

Palantir, also known as the "Spar of True Knowledge", is a magical crystal ball made by Feanor, the elf of the Noldor tribe. It has the ability to see things in the distance and communicate with each other between the two places.

And this ability to look far is very perverted.

Judging from the description in the original book, as long as there is light in the observed place, the true knowledge spar can clearly see the image there, without any interference from terrain and buildings.

Not only that, but the true knowledge spar will also save the images recorded by the user, so using it can not only see the current things, but also see many ancient images that have passed away.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the maker of the true knowledge spar - Feano.

He is the eldest son of Fenwe, the first Noldor Elf King, the greatest wise man and leader in the history of the elves, and an elf craftsman with superb skills, elf diamonds, lamps of feainor, and true knowledge spar All his masterpieces.

The time when Feano was active was before the first era, and the spar of true knowledge produced by him has been preserved for countless years. With the imaging ability of the spar of true knowledge, users can learn a lot of mysterious knowledge from ancient times.

Saruman, the white-robed wizard, was eager for these ancient knowledges, so he probed deeper and deeper into the crystal of true knowledge, until one day, he accidentally explored Dol Guldur...

"Gandalf, do you know how this thing works?"

"Of course I know." Gandalf nodded, and walked forward with the staff in hand, "The crystal of true knowledge has two poles, its vertical axis is aligned with the center of the earth, and its function can only be exerted if the lower pole is facing downwards. Like now."

Said, Gandalf's right hand lightly pressed on the crystal of true knowledge, and then rotated slightly.

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

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

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes angrily, but his body still walked up to the true knowledge spar honestly.

Gandalf had his plans, and Lin Yi naturally had his own.

In his mind, since he took the risk, he must also pick the fruits!

As long as he takes a look at this, then this crystal of true knowledge is his...

Lin Yi walked up to the crystal of true knowledge, and asked Gandalf with his eyes—very well, Gandalf didn't make a sound, apparently acquiescing to his own idea and agreeing to give him the crystal.

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

"What should I do?"

"You need to face the direction you want to look at, look at that place through the center point, and look at that place in the form of an axis, and then the image will appear on a spherical surface close to you. The center of the picture is probably clear, and the surroundings are blurred...see it?"

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

"It's normal, but the ability of the true knowledge spar is not limited to this. As long as the user's mind is strong enough, it can zoom in on a certain part of the image, and even zoom to an extremely small level-wait, where are you looking? "

Gandalf was talking on the sidelines, and halfway through the conversation, he realized that Lin Yi's observation was in the wrong direction. He immediately widened his eyes and interrupted Lin Yi's observation.

"Of course it's Roslorian Forest!" Lin Yi raised his head dissatisfied, "Who said that this thing has a limited range, and I'm not allowed to see the beautiful elves in Roslorian Forest? Those disgusting dark creatures?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then looked at Gandalf in surprise, and the pitch of his mouth rose an octave in an instant.

"Could it be that you suspect that I'm peeking at female elves with the spar of true knowledge?"

"How is that possible?!"

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

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

Gandalf: "..."

Looking at the upright Lin Yi, Gandalf couldn't help but kindly reminded him: "Your Excellency Lin Yi, if there is no specific spell, the true knowledge spar will record all the effects seen by the user."

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and then he said righteously: "So what, I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting, and I haven't done anything shameful, so are you afraid that it will be recorded?"

"...Then you should put it back!"

"No, I'm taking it away."

Lin Yi curled his lips while hugging the true knowledge spar, then looked at Gandalf and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gandalf, you shouldn't rob me, right?"

"of course not."

Gandalf shook his head with a wry smile, and then took a deep look at Lin Yi.

"However, please be careful when using it. For tens of thousands of years, these crystals of true knowledge have recorded many ancient and evil knowledge. If you pry rashly, you will easily be influenced by that knowledge... If you also fall into the In terms of darkness, I really can’t think of anyone else who can prevent Central Continent from falling into darkness.”

"You can rest assured!"

Lin Yi regained a calm but calm look on his face.

"In this world, unless Morgoth personally takes action, or I voluntarily fall into darkness, otherwise, the situation you mentioned will never happen!"

Looking at that indifferent yet confident face, Gandalf finally saw the familiar radiance of divinity, and immediately nodded with relief.

The next second, Lin Yi came over quietly again: "Gandalf, that spell...do you know?"

Gandalf: "..."
