Chapter 217 Tombs in the Mountains



"Geralt of Rivia..."

Gandalf frowned, racking his brains to think of where Rivia was.

Lin Zhongtian coughed lightly, drew out the long sword behind him, and continued to ask in a low voice: "Who are you?"

Facing the hostility emanating from Lin Zhongtian, Gandalf did not bother to think carefully and quickly replied: "Gandalf the Grey Wizard."

"It turns out to be Gandalf the Grey!" Lin Zhongtian nodded, put the long sword back on his back, and whispered, "I have heard of your name. You came here for the dark power that permeates this place, right?"

"……also?"

Gandalf was slightly startled.

Lin Zhongtian raised his head, revealing the wolf head pendant around his neck, and said to Gandalf calmly, "As you can see, I am a demon hunter who makes a living by hunting monsters. Since I came to this continent, I have been roaming in the north. Wherever there are evil creatures, there I will be..."

Then why haven't I heard of your name?

Gandalf felt a little puzzled, but out of politeness he did not ask.

And there was no need for proof of deeds, he could feel the strong sense of oppression from the white-haired warrior in front of him.

The opponent is definitely a powerful warrior!

For some reason, Gandalf always felt that the man in front of him could be trusted.

After a little thought, Gandalf tentatively extended an invitation.

"Your goal in this trip is the same as mine. Are you willing to go with me?"

"no problem!"

Lin Zhongtian agreed so decisively that Gandalf was a little surprised.

It seemed that he felt that this answer was somewhat inconsistent with his cold and aloof personality.

Lin Zhongtian also realized that his answer deviated from his character setting, so he quickly added in a low voice: "If you know where the dark power that permeates this land comes from..."

I see!

Gandalf suddenly understood, then nodded and said, "Then please come with me!"

The two hit it off immediately and headed to the tombs in the mountains together in the rain.

While on the road, Lin Zhongtian seemed to feel that the horse was going too slowly, so his fingertips glowed silver and he quickly drew complicated talismans.

In an instant, a breeze rose up around the hooves of the two horses, and the speed of the horses ridden by the two men increased suddenly, so that the oncoming raindrops became powerful, hitting their faces with burning pain.

Sigh, Sigh——

**The horse neighed excitedly towards the sky, but as soon as it opened its mouth, it was covered with raindrops.

Gandalf quickly waved his staff, releasing a white light that could block the rainstorm, and then looked at Lin Zhongtian in surprise.

"What kind of magic is this?"

"Divine Movement Seal!"

Lin Zhongtian answered casually.

The so-called divine seal was just something he made up, and it was actually the curse of Dean Dai in the world of Under One Person.

Dean Dai is Dai Zong in Water Margin, also known as the Speedy Walker. He masters the Taoist magic of Speedy Walk Curse. By tying four pieces of Speedy Walk Armor to his legs, he can easily travel 800 miles a day. Dean Dai's Curse has the same effect.

The talisman under One Person is the easiest for Lin Zhongtian to master. He doesn’t even need to learn it. He can use it easily just by looking at it once.

Gandalf suppressed his surprise, said nothing more, and concentrated on steering the fast horse under him.

Soon, the two stopped in front of the black mountains.

Feeling the dark power permeating the mountains, Gandalf said in a deep voice: "Sir Geralt, let's stop here. The mountain road ahead is not a place for these horses to set foot on. The dark power buried in the mountains will quietly erode their souls and make them degenerate into dark shadows..."

"I see."

Lin Zhongtian nodded, dismounted, and then reached out to touch the horse's cheek.

"Rocky, stay here and wait for me to come back."

“…”

Gandalf untied the reins and let Beorn go. He turned around and saw this scene. He couldn't help asking, "Why not tie it to a tree?"

Lin Zhongtian shook his head and said, "That's too dangerous. I won't let him lose the ability to protect himself."

But will it come back?

Gandalf had his doubts in his heart, but he did not ask. He just nodded, turned around and walked up the mountain road.

Walking on the dark mountain road, the rocks around me gradually changed from normal color to gray-black.

Lin Zhongtian took the lead and walked quickly in front, while Gandalf followed behind Lin Zhongtian, using his staff as a walking stick like a real old man, and climbed up along the ridge.

But if anyone really thinks he is a frail old man, they are very wrong.

As a time traveler, who doesn’t know the name of the melee... no, the berserker wizard Gandalf?

Lin Zhongtian glanced at Gandalf behind him. His walking speed at this moment was comparable to that of a running human, but Gandalf was able to follow closely behind him, with a ruddy complexion and a normal expression, obviously able to handle it with ease.

He is worthy of being Gandalf, whose only spell is Holy Light, and all other spells are strength!

Lin Zhongtian sighed in his heart, and then quickened his pace again.

Soon, the two came to a straight cliff with a huge drop.

Gandalf stopped first, looked at the stone wall in front of him and murmured: "The tombs in the mountains..."

Lin Zhongtian looked up and saw many black slabs inlaid on the stone wall. Hundreds of black slabs were connected by stairs, leading to a cave at the end that was surrounded by spiked iron fences.

"That's the entrance to the cemetery. We need to climb up the stone steps. Be careful. These stone slabs have been exposed to wind and rain for many years, and the internal structure has long been eroded and loosened. Some of the stone slabs are even covered with slippery moss. If you are not careful, you may..."

Gandalf stopped talking abruptly, and stared with wide eyes at the figure that appeared at the end of the stone steps.

Lin Zhongtian stood on the largest stone slab at the end, pulled out the sharp steel sword from his back, turned his head and looked at Gandalf on the cliff in surprise, as if asking, "What are you standing there for? Come up quickly!"

“…”

Gandalf pulled the corners of his white beard, closed his mouth, and climbed up the stone steps carefully.

Finally, Gandalf reached the end of the stone steps, but when he stepped on the last stone, the loose stone suddenly broke.

Gandalf's feet suddenly slipped and he almost fell into the abyss below.

Fortunately, he grabbed Lin Zhongtian's arm in time and did not fall down.

After stepping on the last square stone slab, Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and immediately met Lin Zhongtian's disdainful gaze.

But Gandalf is Gandalf after all. He has been in Middle-earth for so many years and has seen all kinds of scenes.

He immediately let go of Lin Zhongtian's arm, coughed twice, and said solemnly: "Sir Geralt, further in are the tombs in the mountains. The nine Ringwraiths of Sauron are buried in the tombs. They were once the greatest kings, the wisest wizards, and the most powerful warriors among humans. But after accepting the nine rings of power given by Sauron, these legends among humans were gradually enslaved by the rings and became slaves of Sauron..."

Gandalf explained to Lin Zhongtian while walking into the tomb with a normal expression.

Lin Zhongtian twitched the corner of his mouth, and followed Gandalf, trying hard to suppress his smile.

After entering the dark tomb, Gandalf picked up the staff in his hand and whispered a spell. The white crystal inlaid on the top of the staff emitted a bright white light, dispelling the darkness around him.

Is this the lifelong learning of Gandalf the Dual Wielding Berserker - Holy Light?

Lin Zhongtian looked at Gandalf's staff with great interest, and then took out a high-power flashlight from his arms.

Let me make a bigger one!

“Pah—”

In an instant, a strong white light poured forward like a column, illuminating the entire dark cave as if it were daytime.

Gandalf was startled and turned his head quickly, but then his eyes were stung by the strong white light.

He had no choice but to cover his eyes with his hands and stare at the innocent-looking Lin Zhongtian through the gaps between his fingers.

Gandalf: "..."

Lin Zhongtian: “…”

Gandalf: "What is this?"

Lin Zhongtian: “Flashlight.”

After the brief conversation, Gandalf's doubts were still not answered.

But he was too embarrassed to ask again, so he coughed lightly, calmly extinguished the holy light on the staff, then leaned against the wall, motioning Lin Zhongtian to walk in front with a flashlight.

Lin Zhongtian took the lead and walked in front with a flashlight.

The two men walked down the circular stone steps, and Gandalf looked at the spells engraved on the wall in the bright light.

"These are dark spells, ancient and filled with hatred..."

Gandalf looked mysterious and professional as he observed carefully and muttered to himself.

But when he turned around, the only audience member had already walked away, leaving only the light reflecting off the wall.

Gandalf twitched the corner of his mouth, but he had no choice but to take a step forward and catch up with Lin Zhongtian.

"who?!"

Lin Zhongtian suddenly shone the light in his hand towards the corner of the tomb in front of him.

The figure hiding in the corner suddenly let out a scream and tightly closed his painful eyes.

Gandalf was startled by the familiar scream. He quickly took a few steps and blocked the flashlight with his staff. "Sir Geralt, that's my friend, the brown-robed wizard Radagast. You should have heard of his name, right?"

“Never heard of it.”

Lin Zhongtian answered without hesitation.

Gandalf was choked and speechless.

Radagast even opened his red and swollen eyes and stared at Lin Zhongtian and Gandalf.

"Gandalf, who is he?"

"Why did you bring a stranger here?"

Gandalf sighed and said helplessly: "This is a long story..."
