Chapter 1047 1029. Dol Guldur
The closer you get to this old castle, the more ominous and depressing the atmosphere becomes.
It is a stone building complex built on a hill, and you can vaguely see the towering and majestic appearance it once had.
But over thousands of years, even stone castles will decay and collapse.
In Dol Guldur now, the entire building does not have a decent roof, only the vertical city walls and the remnants of the floors that have barely collapsed.
The closer the trees of the Mirkwood are to this place, the more ferocious their appearance becomes.
The dry and twisted branches seemed to be longing for something, and the branches of strange trees all over the hillside were stretching in the direction of Dol Guldur.
Obviously they are in the same forest, but the area near Dol Guldur is always shrouded in dark clouds that are so thick that they are almost opaque.
At the foot of the mountain where Dol Guldur was, even Lan En felt a burst of anxiety and panic for no reason.
“We.” Radagast swallowed and clenched the staff in his hand. "We have to leave the car and Qilin here, so that when necessary, we can escape quickly."
Although he was trembling when he spoke nervously, he still insisted on entering this chilling old castle.
Lan nodded.
“Flannel ball, you stay too.”
"Meow?"
Lan En explained: "Follow Qilin and protect the rabbits. Something may rush out here at any time and eat them."
After receiving the mission, the little cat immediately held his head high and raised his looting knife to Lan En, showing his reliability to the boss.
Radagast and Lann looked at each other and said nothing more. He raised his wand forward warily and walked towards Dol Guldur.
The entrance to the old castle is a solid and thick stone bridge without any guardrails. It is only as wide as two people shoulder to shoulder, and below is a dark abyss.
The malice of this building reminded Lan En of the dim world of flames.
Continue to walk in, because the large area of the floor roof collapses, the entire building has become a strange scene of only many stairs left out of thin air.
There are steel spikes on the edges of every building, and the vines clinging to the walls look like thorns. Even if you just brush against any place at walking speed, you will get a layer of skin scraped off without armor.
It was as if the entire old castle was eager to harm every creature that came close.
The closer you get, the stronger the malice and mental oppression feel.
Lan En watched from behind, and Radagast's legs, which were originally agile and powerful as a young man's, were already trembling slightly.
The witcher didn't mean to look down on Radagast's performance.
He is one of the only five wizards in Middle-earth. If he can feel something deeper than the witcher, and thus be more frightened and affected, then Lan En has no reason not to believe it.
“I’m behind you.”
Lan spoke in a deep voice from behind. This stable and rational voice made Radagast feel the support from behind.
His steps have become much more steady.
But at this moment, the two of them had just walked through a helpless suspended staircase.
Lan En's ears twitched slightly, and then he immediately turned around on guard!
On the transfer platform in the middle of the stairs, there is a human sculpture about four meters high.
The sculpture image is of a gloomy human warrior. His gauntleted hands hold the hilt of the sword, and the sword is on the ground in front of him.
In what Lan En heard just now, he heard the sound of the gauntlet clenching the hilt of the sword.
The demon hunter will not be like the protagonist in a horror movie, who, out of luck and afraid to face the terrifying reality, will regard the small movements he hears as auditory hallucinations and hallucinations.
The objectively existing danger will not really disappear because of ridiculous actions like hiding one's ears and stealing the bell, because not facing it because of fluke will only make your death more miserable.
‘Image analysis in progress.’
His seal is powerful enough to lift up a layer of land in front of him!
But a moment later, in the fan-shaped area in front of Lan En's palm, the stone bricks laid on the ground of Dol Guldur did make a "clack-clack" sound as the stones were squeezed.
But that human-shaped ball of miserable green smoke seemed not to be able to feel the push of [Alder's Seal] at all!
Not even the slightest obstacle!
The vertical pupils in the witcher's pupils suddenly shrank into slits.
Immediately afterwards, his good ability to adapt to the situation prevented him from panicking and being at a loss.
The long knife in his right hand turned around, taking advantage of the moment when the opponent jumped in front of him.
“Boom!”
Light red fighting spirit exploded on the surface of the body!
【Lance Skill·Strengthened Defense】!
Hunters in the New World are said to use spears, but they are actually a combination of spears and large shields. Their defensive performance is the best among the fourteen hunting weapons!
and
“Dang!”
Sparks exploded between the short sword and the long knife.
The witcher's eyes flashed with a look of "Sure enough."
Arondette, you can touch this thing!
Although there is still a strange feeling of being weak and weak, as long as you can touch it.
“Boom!”
The light red fighting spirit on the body turned from red to white the moment after receiving the attack!
【Lance skills·Defense and counterattack】!
The enemy's strength is harnessed by the precisely-operated fighting spirit, which in turn enhances his next attack.
The key to skill lies in timing.
The long sword that originally blocked the dagger suddenly recovered, and then attacked again with far extraordinary speed and force!
The miserable green smoke figure was slashed on the side by the Lake Lady's Sword. The huge force almost pressed it down and flew straight away!
If it can be cut effectively, this knife is enough to end the battle.
Unfortunately, the feel still feels weak.
The opponent's way of moving without inertia is too flexible, and Lan En doesn't dare to give it a chance to breathe.
At the same time that the opponent was slashed away, he rushed over.
The sword of the Lake Girl is pressed against the chest, the tip of the knife is pressed against the opponent's neck and pushed forward!
But even so, the other party did not appear to be substantially harmed.
Until Radagast finally woke up from the sudden change, he quickly picked up his staff and kept up with Lan En's rhythm.
Lann used the Sword of the Lake Lady to push against the opponent, while Radagast took the opportunity to rush the white light blooming from the wand towards the pale green smoke.
"ah!!"
The shrill screams in the green smoke did not sound like human sounds.
Both Radagast and Lane's eardrums hurt.
But the sloppy wizard still frowned and continued to increase the power of the white light blooming on the wand.
Finally, after a burst of screams, there was a 'ding, ding, clang', and the green smoke disappeared, leaving only a dark dagger lying on the stone brick floor.
