From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

"I want to go to Dol Guldur with you, wizard!" The next morning, Legolas stopped Ivy at the city gate, "Gandalf is a friend of the elves, I have an obligation to save our friends!"

"You can't keep up with my speed, Legolas." Ivy refused.

"I am a wood elf, and this is the Black Forest. No one can be faster than me in this forest." Legolas looked confident.

"Maybe I can't, but with the help of Golden Horn, I can move forward on the green leaves of the treetops." Ivy smiled.

"I can also move forward on the treetops!" Legolas still didn't give up.

"And my magic, with the help of the West Wind Horseshoe, Golden Horn can run at full speed for 12 hours. If you also run for 12 hours without stopping, I'm afraid you will lose your fighting power long ago." Ivy touched Golden Horn's proud neck.

"Okay, wizard, I wish you a safe journey and successfully save our common friends." Legolas seemed to compromise.

Ivy shook Golden Horn's reins and left the woodland kingdom with a gust of wind.

The West Wind Horseshoe allows Golden Horn to run on any unstable surface. If the impenetrable treetops of the Black Forest are regarded as undulating hills, then Golden Horn is a golden whirlwind blowing across the surface of the hills.

After traveling with the dwarves for such a long time, it was the first time that Ivy let Golden Horn run freely. He finally had the opportunity to see the true magic of magical animals.

The terrain in the Black Forest is complex and changeable, and there are a large number of terrible big spiders living in it. If ordinary people want to cross the Black Forest from south to north, the best route must be to go outside the forest first and then move along the border of the forest. But Golden Horn is very different from ordinary war horses. It can regard the treetops as flat ground. Therefore, less than two days and nights have passed, and Ivy can already see the fire gathered outside the ancient capital of Dol.

The orcs in black armor and marching in an orderly manner filled the forest. Even if the fire from their camp is several kilometers away, Ivy can see it clearly.

There is no doubt that Sauron is already preparing for war. His goal is the same as Thorin, both for the lonely mountain.

It's just that Thorin values ​​the gold and jewels in the Lonely Mountain, while Sauron values ​​the excellent geographical location of the Lonely Mountain and the evil dragon Smaug entrenched in it.

If the dragon can help, the entire Rhovanion Wilds will become a vassal of the dark forces, a reward for Sauron's ambition, and the metal produced by the Lonely Mountain and the Iron Hills will equip the orcs of Mordor. At that time, Sauron's dark ambition will no longer be blocked by anyone.

After Ivy restored his spell slot for the last time, he quietly waited for the arrival of the members of the Holy White Council in Dol Gudu, otherwise he would never be able to break in and rescue Gandalf by himself.

Fortunately, Sauron's army has been assembled and set out in the direction of the Lonely Mountain. This army is completely opposite to Ivy's direction, but they have no ability to cross the Mirkwood, so they can only come to the outskirts of the forest first and approach the Lonely Mountain from the northernmost part around the Mirkwood.

Ivy has also tried to approach the direction of Lothlorien in the past few days, hoping to see the reinforcements of the elves there, but to Ivy's disappointment, no one showed up. Whether it was the members of the Holy White Council or the elves holding longbows.

After the last group of orcs left, Ivy quietly approached the dark walls of Dol Gudu. This was a fortress covered with thorns. It was best to describe it as desolate and dilapidated.

The orcs did not leave no guards, but their numbers were no longer an advantage for Ivy.

————

On the third day after arriving in Dol Gudu, Ivy used invisibility magic and entered the fortress of the Dark Lord with Golden Horn.

The orcs here must have been unnaturally cultivated, otherwise they would never grow so much taller than their fellows in the Misty Mountains.

The pale orc Azog can still be said to be a genetic mutation, but it is not reasonable for tens of thousands of orcs to mutate together. It seems that Sauron is not only a necromancer, but also a genetic engineer.

Ivy thinks that his method of cultivating orcs is very valuable for reference, but Dol Gudu is obviously not his base for cultivating orcs. This is just a gathering point. If Ivy wants to obtain Sauron's forbidden knowledge, in addition to going deep into the Barad-dur Fortress in Mordor, the only way is to get the Supreme Lord Ring and then personally make his soul.

However, Sauron is a fallen Maiar, that is, he is essentially a god. Although Ivy feels that his power has reached a certain level, it is obviously too early to deal with a fallen god. However, Ivy is likely to intervene in the Lord of the Rings Crusade sixty years later.

But whether Ivy can enter the world of Arda again at that time depends on the intention of the creator god Eru Ilúvatar.

It's useless to think so much now. Ivy hasn't even figured out why the teleportation to the other world failed. Maybe he doesn't need to think about entering Arda again, because he may not leave here sixty years later.

"Ah-"

Gandalf's screams sounded in the Dol Gu Fortress, and also pointed out the direction for Ivy to move forward. He shuttled back and forth between the stairs and thorns, and finally saw the old wizard who was hung up and beaten.

To be precise, he was hung in a cage and beaten.

The one who did it was an orc whose head was reinforced with iron plates and rivets. It seemed that he couldn't find a suitable doctor to save his broken head, so he had to ask a blacksmith to repair it for him.

I have to say that the blacksmith's craftsmanship is really not very good, but I don't know if his IQ has been affected.

No mistakes, just go to the 6-9 book forum!

Gandalf seemed to have been hung in the cage for a while. The frail old man could not do anything except wailing.

The orc and Ivy both thought so.

So the orc took down the iron cage, threw the old man to the ground, and began to question: "You have something my master needs! Where is it! You know what I mean! One of the three rings of the elves..."

Before the orc finished his questioning, Gandalf rolled on the ground swiftly, picked up an iron chain and threw it at the orc.

This slap hit the orc's face, and the orc bled. If his head had not been reinforced with iron plates and rivets, Gandalf would have killed him.

The prisoner who had been imprisoned for several days and had not eaten anything was injured. The orc was furious and picked up the big knife he had thrown on the ground to chop Gandalf.

Ivy knew she couldn't watch any longer, so she revealed her body and released a thunder wave.

The reverberating thunder threw the orc high into the air, and he fell down the tower of Dol Guldur with a scream.

Thanks to the ability of [Elemental Shaping], this thunder wave didn't throw Gandalf down as well.

I woke up and found that I had lost my reading, the sky had fallen
