Gulu turned and crawled into the tunnel behind, Talion looked at Zelin.

"How did you do it?"

"I just put a trap in the warehouse." Zelin made an ambush gesture. "I guess they will definitely go there, and they will relax their vigilance when they see the materials stacked together. It just so happens that this trap will also cause a fire and burn the orcs who entered the warehouse and the boxes inside."

This trap used all the Dragon Dream bombs on Zelin, but it was worth the money.

They originally planned to rush out from the side on horseback, but after walking down the city wall, they immediately saw Gulu who had been waiting here. As in the past, Gollum claimed that it had been inspired by the Dark Lady, knowing that they would show up at this time and urgently needed help. Probably only a creature of the size of Guru can find such a hidden crypt.

Of course, there are ghouls and spiders.

Flicking away the little spider crawling on the shoulders, Zelin and Talion followed Gulu. After walking about 30 meters in the dark tunnel, the road below suddenly disappeared, and the front was flowing from the cracks in the top rocks. The moonlight shining out reflected the scene in front of the demon hunter. In front of him is an oval cave, like the center of a spider web. There are many caves on the walls around the cave that do not know where they lead, and they walked out of one of the tunnels. There was a drop of about two meters between the tunnel and the bottom of the cave. Gulu slid down the slope, and Zelin and Talion jumped straight down.

In the middle of the Rock Hall, Marvin was sitting on the ground, her eyes slightly closed, and she was panting lightly.

Gulu hid in a corner and kept muttering something. Zelin walked towards Marvin lightly, the light was very dim, and when the distance was less than three meters, he noticed that Marvin had opened his eyes and looked at himself.

"Are you awake?"

"It's too late." Marvin murmured, and Zelin saw a ceramic brazier in front of her.

"You brought this from Asingri? Saruman gave it to you?"

Marvin didn't answer, she took a handful of white powder from somewhere and spilled it into the brazier.

"Flame."

She whispered. The demon hunter did not move, she said again. "Flame."

"Light it up?" Zelin asked tentatively.

Marvin nodded.

So Zelin made a gesture of Ignifa Seal to the brazier, and the flame came out with a bang, and it turned white again under the action of the powder.

"The power of the Dark Lord will soon spread all over Mordor, destroying all the power that hinders it." Marvin's voice was low and hollow, as if it were coming from a very far away place. She raised her head and opened her eyes wide, as if trying to see something, but there was no expression in the pale pupils, and the narrow pupils were like black spots in a white, like a blind person. "But there is a force that can stop it. Assassins from ancient races, and souls full of light, find it and bring it, this is the only chance."

Talion frowned and looked at Marvin in confusion. "What is she talking about?"

"I don't know." Zelin shrugged.

"Could he be talking about the soul we saw just now?"

"Perhaps."

Seeing that Marvin didn't say anything, Zelin snapped his fingers again, the flame went out, and the shadow once again enveloped the Rock Hall. "But anyway, we must go, Guru?"

Guru was still squatting in the corner, talking to himself, pinching his neck and hitting the wall with his head.

"Guru?!"

Gulu turned his head abruptly, and the fierce expression stiffened on his face turned into a flattering smile in a second. "We are listening, good humans, we are listening, what do you need to do?"

"Take us to Noon."

"Non, oh, I know there, there are bugs everywhere, fish and birds that can eat, we like that place. Gulu...hiss..." It coughed heavily and waved to Zelin. "I know the way, come here, hurry up."

It jumped up, grabbed the protruding rock, and climbed into another tunnel.

"Zelin, you go to Noon first." Talion said suddenly. "I'm going to stay here for a while. This place is a great hiding place. I want to find other rangers who have escaped and the exiles of Udon."

"No problem." Zelin nodded. "Be careful yourself."

Chapter 1701

The exiles of Udon and the rangers scattered in the Udon Valley after the fall of Black Gate. Now that the orcs occupy the Black Gate, they cannot leave Mordor. Gulu told them that the rock hall can accommodate 20 or 30 people to rest, not to mention that the tunnels extending in all directions are connected to more caves in the deep mountains. The orcs have not found this place. It is safe inside, except for crawling some small spiders from time to time. I'm afraid there is no better hiding place in Uton.

Noen is located to the south of Siles Angkor.

Gulu led Zelin to the south along the Shadow Mountains. They walked through the mountains, avoiding the attention of the orcs as much as possible. At the foot of the Shadow Mountains, you can vaguely see the remains of a few human villages, but now the residents of these villages are no longer the masters of the past. Instead, the orcs are transforming the villages into animal cages and slaughterhouses, thin, short and white skinned. The orcs were beaten by the overseers and erected stakes around the village to build a sentry tower.

According to Gulu, in the middle of the mountain, there is an orc fortress called Daz-Grum. The furnace in the fortress was burning day and night, and countless orc slaves threw the rocks mined from the mountains into the furnace, forged them into sharp swords and hard armor, and provided them to the powerful half-orc tribe of Mordor. On the other side of the mountain range backed by the fortress is the city of Minas Ihir where Gondor is stationed. But orcs almost never cross the mountains to attack human cities, just like they don't venture into the swamp of death, humans do not try to attack the orcs' fortresses.

As for the reason, Guru said nothing, Zelin couldn't guess.

It is not easy to take Marvin to avoid the orcs. Her illness is getting worse. Zelin doesn't know how to cure it. He is not a doctor, and he doesn't know how to cure magic. Skyrim's healing potion didn't work either, because it was not caused by injury. The healing potion is also meaningless. Fortunately, they don't stay in one place, sometimes the orc patrol will run into them, or they have to pass under the orcs' eyelids. Zelin will quickly kill any enemies who find them, then leave there and go to the next place.

For several days, Zelin could only see rocks, dust and broken stones. It seems that the whole world is left with only dry land and rugged rocks. The only plants are the dead grass that sways in the cracks between the rocks. As long as the wind is strong, they can be uprooted. Of course, the only animals you can see are spiders. These small creatures are always crawling around among the rocks. Some spiders are even the size of the palm of a demon hunter. However, Zelin was very happy. In their recipes, the priority of orcs was obviously higher than that of humans. He can often see some hapless orcs falling into the spider webs and being wrapped into meat rolls, and the bones left nearby should be their final fate.

When the sun on the sixth day was about to disappear in the sky, Gulu once again led Zelin out of the mountain cave.

This time, the grit and the dry air mixed with dense smoke no longer greeted him. The endless green grassland covers the undulating hills, dyed red by the afterglow of the setting sun. The cool breeze is mixed with the smell of green grass and lake water. On the horizon in the distance, plumes of smoke rose above the afterglow-covered city. Seeing everything in front of him, Ze Lin took a deep breath and helped Marvin, who followed out of the cave, to sit on the lawn in front of the cave.

"We're here, human." Guru grinned, as if smiling. A butterfly flew in front of her eyes, Guru grabbed it, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed two mouthfuls and swallowed it immediately. "I'm going back, Ms. Dark promised us that we will be lucky enough to see Lord Bright’s baby, we are going to see Lord Bright. We should have seen it earlier, but we spent so much time, we are leaving ."

"Well, all right."

It seemed that Guru was happy because he could finally get rid of the drudgery of helping the demon hunter find his way. Zelin shrugged. "I wish you could find your baby sooner. Speaking of which, what is your baby?"

"We lost it, was stolen, a thief!" Guru yelled angrily, "A treacherous, hateful little hobbit! He stole our ring, deceived us, and took our baby away. Oh! Our baby, our baby! He stole it like that! Poor us, poor Guru, we are so kind, so friendly, but we were deceived so miserably, to be separated from our baby forever."

"A hobbit?"

"Yes! Yes! The hobbit stole our baby, the ring! The ring!"

"The ring?"

Zelin frowned slightly. "Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes!" Gulu jumped and said, as if he was still regretting why he lost his baby. After a few seconds, it stopped suddenly, mumbled and walked back into the cave. "Why do we want to say this to humans who don't understand us, Lady Dark will tell us how to retrieve the baby, she never missed it, never did."

Seeing Gulu's figure disappearing under the shadow of the cave entrance, Zelin didn't forget to ask. "The dark lady you are talking about, where is she?"

Gulu stopped, turned his head, and threw his head back. "If she wants to see you, you will know."

After all, it walked into the cave without looking back.

Zelin sighed lightly and turned his gaze to Queen Marvin.

"I see a city in the distance. Is that your city? It's not far away. I guess we can arrive before dark."

"No, that's not Norn's city, it's not anymore." Marvin said weakly. "That's Solband, where our fishermen used to trade with humans in other areas, but after the orcs gushed out of Balado, they fell. Now it is the slave market for the orcs, and they will catch them. Humans are held in it, trading with the barbarians in the north, and the Harads in the south. Get around there, my people are west of Noen, near the coast, there is a fortress, my daughter should lead the soldiers to guard Go there."

"Western?" Zelin looked to the west, the rolling mountains blocking his vision. "Your people are in the mountains?"

Marvin nodded.

"Fortresses and islands. Without natural barriers, we can't stop the orcs."
