Chapter 366: Warning from the Cold Wind
The nine members of the Fellowship of the Ring set out from Rivendell. Elrond looked at their backs and sighed.
The world is in chaos and turmoil, and no place is immune.
Even the Free Cities, which had always been peaceful and had hardly seen any evil, were like this. In the past, Sauron would never dare to attack there, but as soon as the leaders of the Free Cities left, the North and South Hetao regions immediately fell into war.
Thranduil tried to bring people for support, but just as he walked out of the forest, he encountered some vicious Orcs who were attacking the neighboring town of Carr, and there were also Ringwraiths flying in the sky.
Beorn's son led his army to fight and block the Orc army on the ground. The great eagles also flew down from the mountain tops and kept fighting with the Ringwraiths and ferocious beasts flying in the air, diverting their attention to prevent them from disturbing the humans on the ground.
This is the fourth group of enemies attacking, and no one knows where this group of Orc troops comes from.
All we can confirm is that it is not from Dol Guldur, Rohan, or Isengard.
Thranduil was also confused about these troops and had no news about them.
It was not until the arrival of Lady Galadriel that he revealed to everyone the origin of this fourth legion - Moria.
The Oaks there were frightened by Levi's killing, and at one point they were all killed and almost extinct.
But under Sauron's operation, there are still a group of Orcs living there secretly. They stayed dormant when the forces of light were strong, and even ordinary passers-by did not dare to attack them. But now they took the initiative to come out because of the order of their master and were discovered by the border guards of the Golden Forest.
When all sides were in turmoil, Lady Galadriel had a premonition. She looked to a place further north than the human settlements in the north, that is, the Northern Wasteland, and took her own action.
In a relatively quiet reception hall in the chaotic war zone, Lady Galadriel met Thranduil and Glorfindel who came to support her.
Plus a commander of the Valley Legion from a free city.
The three elves and a legion commander held a small meeting, mainly focusing on the situation in the vicinity and the rescue of Saruman which had been postponed again and again.
The commander of the River Valley mainly attended the meeting as an observer. He was responsible for coordinating the actions of the elves according to Levi's message.
Lady Galadriel spoke first: "I can sense that the Legend of the North is fulfilling an obligation that should not be his. Our long-lost people are returning."
"Tribe members?"
Thranduil was a little confused.
Among the three elves, he is the youngest, only more than 5,000 years old. The other two are one or even two eras older than him, and are also stronger than him.
It was because these two elves had been bathed in the sacred light of the Two Holy Trees, so they didn't need to turn on the lights at night when they came to this station, as their whole bodies were glowing.
"That was the time when I was born. Many elves were captured and tortured by Morgoth. Even though Morgoth was defeated in the end and his fortress was breached, many of the captured elves are still missing."
Lady Galadriel explained: "I have a feeling that Levi is seeking them in a land far, far away, to free them and bring them back to Valinor."
"What a great act." Glorfindel exclaimed.
Thranduil also nodded, but his feelings were not as profound, he just expressed his approval and praise for his actions.
Compared to the two people who seemed to have witnessed a large number of elves being captured, he did not have a very deep impression of this incident. It was only because the knowledge he had accumulated over the years was quite profound and extensive, so he could remember this incident as soon as the two people mentioned it.
The commander of the valley army, who had remained silent, felt relieved after hearing the conversation between the three elves.
Fortunately, Lord Levi was just going to a distant place to take care of some things and nothing unexpected happened.
When this thought came to his mind, the commander raised his head slightly, realizing that this message might have been told to him specifically so that all the territories could know the news through him and there would be no need to worry too much.
Elves... every move they make has a profound meaning and needs to be appreciated carefully.
The commander understood immediately.
But…
He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Golden Forest who was suddenly stunned, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.
What's going on again? What happened?
…
"call--"
Outside the Utumno Fortress, Levi took a deep breath and blew away some flames.
The battle was too intense, and large areas of the fortress's perimeter collapsed, with traces of impact and charred areas from burning fire.
I don't know how many times the rune shield has been broken. It has been exhausted and recharged, and recharged and exhausted again. If it weren't for the elements dropped by killed creatures that could charge the staff, the elements in the staff would have been exhausted by now.
After patting the flames that were still clinging to him, Levi stretched his body and stood up from the huge corpse of the fire demon that had lost its energy.
“It’s quite dangerous.”
Just now, a large number of strange-looking beasts rushed over, with a fire demon driving them from behind.
In the narrow fortress where there was no room to maneuver, these guys were stuck there, and their combined strength even hurt Levi several times and threatened his body, but fortunately he was still more skilled.
Look now, none of the giant beasts on the ground are intact, and the wings of the fire demons under their feet have been chopped off.
After Levi cleared out the giant beasts one by one and the fire demon was seriously injured, it tried to escape from here, but it was useless. At this time, Levi didn't care about saving money. He took out the dragon bone bow enchanted with power V and used the dragon bone arrow to shoot it down. Then he used the greatsword to chop off its huge wings that were neither solid nor made of flames.
Now this fire demon has also become material.
but…
Levi felt a little disappointed when he saw that only one 'Flame of Udun' was dropped even with the looting bonus.
This fire demon... I always feel that it is a little weak. It is not as strong as the one I encountered in Moria, nor as powerful as the one I killed with my own hands.
Of course, it could also be an illusion. After all, Levi is different now. Compared to the first time he fought the Flame Demon, he is now more than twice as strong.
After killing the fire demon that had come to his doorstep, Levi dug through the fortress and cleared out all the dark creatures he could see.
After making sure nothing was missed, he continued to dig deeper.
Click.
All the way to the center of the fortress, as the solid wall was dug open, Levi entered a relatively empty room.
“It’s amazing that there are still places that are so well preserved.”
With the help of the night vision potion he had just brewed, Levi was able to see the specific layout of the room.
There was nothing - except the dark and deep downward passage in the middle.
The stairs were endless, with no end in sight, and seemed incomplete, as if they were broken somewhere.
Continuing to look down, this passage seems like the void, with no visible bottom, which makes people feel uneasy.
Go down and take a look?
The moment this thought came to mind, a sudden revelation came.
No, it’s more of a warning than a revelation.
Unlike the previous ones, this warning came from another being.
A cold wind blew across a long distance from the surface, into the underground, into the fortress, and onto Levi's face, blowing his hair and giving him some information.
A warning from Manwë, the kind and compassionate Lord of Air and Wind, the ruler of the world, and the chief of the Valar who is dedicated to correcting and healing the abnormal state of the world.
"Under the deep pit is a completely hidden and concentrated evil. It is a dark world of decadence, shrouded by residual evil will, isolating everything from the outside world, even the perception of the Valar."
Levi understood the meaning of this warning.
The Valar were forbidden to interfere too much in mortal affairs, and their place of residence was separated from Arda by the Creator of the World.
There is already a world between them, and now there is another obstacle. Under many restrictions, once Levi goes deeper, even the many Veras may not be able to help him. What happens next depends entirely on him.
Every profession has its own specialization.
Perhaps there are Valar who can beat Morgoth to his knees with pure strength, and shatter mountains, rivers and even land plates with one punch, but other than that, in some other aspects, they may not be able to match Morgoth.
Just like the situation now.
but…
"A new challenge? I like it."
Levi smiled slightly and leaped into the void-like passage.
A gust of wind followed and wrapped around him, forming a kind of legal protection that prevented him from being hurt by falls and collisions.
…
"I can no longer sense him."
Galadriel stared towards the north, a little confused.
"What's the meaning?"
Thranduil looked over.
Glorfindel, who was quite experienced in this regard, answered his doubts: "Levi has left this world."
