A certain sword soul's infinite journey

The Philosopher's Stone is just a carrier, and it is the positioning coordinates and transfer station for the holy light to shine into reality from a higher dimension.

In fact, even if there is no Sorcerer's Stone, Gandalf can borrow this powerful power of holy light from above if he puts a gem or crystal at will. The Sorcerer's Stone just makes him consume less.

It's so sloppy!

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and he decided not to discuss similar matters with Gandalf.

Soon, the two came to the depths of Dol Gurdur, and encountered a dozen half-orcs who were crushed to death by the collapsed castle, as well as four or five wargs and two dark creatures that looked like flying beasts.

As a matter of course, these dark creatures have become the souls of Lin Yi and Gandalf's sword.

Entering a room full of strong dark power, Gandalf raised the staff in his hand high, and the light emitted from the Philosopher's Stone became brighter and brighter, illuminating the whole room as if it were daytime.

"No danger."

Lin Yi put his sword back into its sheath, his dark eyes scanned the room left and right, and finally locked on a stone platform in the center of the room.

"what is that?"

Lin Yi's doubtful voice sounded, and Gandalf followed his gaze, and immediately saw a strange trophy-like object wrapped in black cloth.

This thing is...

Gandalf stared at the strangely shaped object with a dazed expression. At this time, Lin Yi had already walked to the side of the stone platform, and lifted the black cloth covering it with his right hand, which was wrapped in a silver-white sword light.

The black cloth was removed, and a black crystal ball appeared in the vision of the two of them. The dense darkness permeated the crystal ball like mist, and a pitch-black base like a dragon's claw was placed below it. A huge vertical pupil relief is carved.

"Sure enough, it's Palantir! I said how Sauron could communicate with the outside world under the cover of a hidden spell. It turns out that he used a crystal of true knowledge!"

There was a hint of joy and surprise in Gandalf's tone.

Lin Yi was also a little surprised, he knew the name of this thing.

Palantir, also known as the "Spar of True Knowledge", is a magical crystal ball made by Feanor, the elf of the Noldor tribe. It has the ability to see things in the distance and communicate with each other between the two places.

And this ability to look far is very perverted.

Judging from the description in the original book, as long as there is light in the observed place, the true knowledge spar can clearly see the image there, without any interference from terrain and buildings.

Not only that, but the true knowledge spar will also save the images recorded by the user, so using it can not only see the current things, but also see many ancient images that have passed away.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the maker of the true knowledge spar - Feano.

He is the eldest son of Fenwe, the first Noldor Elf King, the greatest wise man and leader in the history of the elves, and an elf craftsman with superb skills, elf diamonds, lamps of feainor, and true knowledge spar All his masterpieces.

The time when Feano was active was before the first era, and the spar of true knowledge produced by him has been preserved for countless years. With the imaging ability of the spar of true knowledge, users can learn a lot of mysterious knowledge from ancient times.

Saruman, the white-robed wizard, was eager for these ancient knowledges, so he probed deeper and deeper into the crystal of true knowledge, until one day, he accidentally explored Dol Guldur...

"Gandalf, do you know how this thing works?"

"Of course I know." Gandalf nodded, and walked forward with the staff in hand, "The crystal of true knowledge has two poles, its vertical axis is aligned with the center of the earth, and its function can only be exerted if the lower pole is facing downwards. Like now."

Said, Gandalf's right hand lightly pressed on the crystal of true knowledge, and then rotated slightly.

In the next second, an extremely slight flame appeared inside the black spar, dancing like a candle in the dark night.

Gandalf took a step back and stretched out his hand towards Lin Yi with a smile: "You should take a look first, I'm worried about what Sauron has done to this crystal of true knowledge."

Lin Yi: "..."

Lin Yi rolled his eyes angrily, but his body still walked up to the true knowledge spar honestly.

Gandalf had his plans, and Lin Yi naturally had his own.

In his mind, since he took the risk, he must also pick the fruits!

As long as he takes a look at this, then this crystal of true knowledge is his...

Lin Yi walked up to the crystal of true knowledge, and asked Gandalf with his eyes—very well, Gandalf didn't make a sound, apparently acquiescing to his own idea and agreeing to give him the crystal.

Lin Yi bent down in satisfaction, looked at the crystal and asked.

"What should I do?"

"You need to face the direction you want to look at, look at that place through the center point, and look at that place in the form of an axis, and then the image will appear on a spherical surface close to you. The center of the picture is probably clear, and the surroundings are blurred...see it?"

"Well, I see, it's just that the picture is a bit small."

"It's normal, but the ability of the true knowledge spar is not limited to this. As long as the user's mind is strong enough, it can zoom in on a certain part of the image, and even zoom to an extremely small level-wait, where are you looking? "

Gandalf was talking on the sidelines, and halfway through the conversation, he realized that Lin Yi's observation was in the wrong direction. He immediately widened his eyes and interrupted Lin Yi's observation.

"Of course it's Roslorian Forest!" Lin Yi raised his head dissatisfied, "Who said that this thing has a limited range, and I'm not allowed to see the beautiful elves in Roslorian Forest? Those disgusting dark creatures?"

Speaking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but pause for a moment, and then looked at Gandalf in surprise, and the pitch of his mouth rose an octave in an instant.

"Could it be that you suspect that I'm peeking at female elves with the spar of true knowledge?"

"How is that possible?!"

"I am the strongest sword master in the human world, a gentleman praised by the world, how could I do such a shameless thing!"

"Gandalf, Gandalf, I didn't expect you, with big eyebrows and big eyes, to have such a dirty mind!"

Gandalf: "..."

Looking at the upright Lin Yi, Gandalf couldn't help but kindly reminded him: "Your Excellency Lin Yi, if there is no specific spell, the true knowledge spar will record all the effects seen by the user."

The corner of Lin Yi's mouth twitched, and then he said righteously: "So what, I'm not afraid of the shadow slanting, and I haven't done anything shameful, so are you afraid that it will be recorded?"

"...Then you should put it back!"

"No, I'm taking it away."

Lin Yi curled his lips while hugging the true knowledge spar, then looked at Gandalf and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Gandalf, you shouldn't rob me, right?"

"of course not."

Gandalf shook his head with a wry smile, and then took a deep look at Lin Yi.

"However, please be careful when using it. For tens of thousands of years, these crystals of true knowledge have recorded many ancient and evil knowledge. If you pry rashly, you will easily be influenced by that knowledge... If you also fall into the In terms of darkness, I really can’t think of anyone else who can prevent Central Continent from falling into darkness.”

"You can rest assured!"

Lin Yi regained a calm but calm look on his face.

"In this world, unless Morgoth personally takes action, or I voluntarily fall into darkness, otherwise, the situation you mentioned will never happen!"

Looking at that indifferent yet confident face, Gandalf finally saw the familiar radiance of divinity, and immediately nodded with relief.

The next second, Lin Yi came over quietly again: "Gandalf, that spell...do you know?"

Gandalf: "..."

Chapter 398 The Lonely Mountain Project

Unfortunately, Gandalf doesn't know that particular spell either.

However, he could see that the black dragon claw base supporting the true knowledge spar, and the black cloth covering the true knowledge spar were ancient utensils of the same age as the true knowledge spar, with many mysterious spells attached to them.

Coupled with Sauron's use of them to cover the true knowledge spar, it should have a similar effect.

So Lin Yi unceremoniously put away the entire base and the black cloth.

Of course, Lin Yi has never been a person who likes to eat alone. He noticed that Gandalf seemed to be a little greedy for his space magic weapon, so he reached out and took out a pouch from the inventory, and threw it to Gandalf.

"Here, take it, and treat it as a reward for exchanging the knowledge just now."

Gandalf was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"It's just a matter of raising your hand, what a shame..."

"Oh? Then I take it back?"

"..."

Under Lin Yi's contemptuous gaze, Gandalf took the pouch without changing his expression, and studied it in front of his eyes.

As Maiya under the command of Manwe, the well-known gray-robed wizard in Central Continent, Gandalf does have two brushes in the reserve of knowledge. He only tried a few times, and he figured out the usage of the sac .

"It's actually a space magic weapon!"

Gandalf pointed the phagocytic pouch in his hand at the stone platform in front of him with a look of surprise, then poured in magic power, put away the stone platform in front of him, let it out, put it away, let it out...

It was so much fun to play repeatedly.

Lin Yi looked at Gandalf who was beaming with joy, and felt a bit of sadness in his heart for no reason.

Gandalf, or Olorin, who is also Maier who serves Manwe himself, behaved so unbearably in front of a simple space magic weapon, so unseen in the world...

Alas, Maier is not easy to mess with these days!

Gandalf noticed Lin Yi's sympathetic eyes, and knew that he might have gone too far. He immediately coughed twice, solemnly hung the red and yellow pouch around his waist, and then bowed slightly to Lin Yi.

"Thank you for your generosity! I just need a portable space artifact!"

"It's nothing, you deserve it." Lin Yi shook his head, then showed worry, and asked tentatively, "Seeing that you like it so much, why don't you take some more?"

"..."

Gandalf had black lines all over his head.

Are you really treating me like a refugee?

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Excellency Lin Yi, a...uh..."

"Eat the sac."

"Yes, one pouch is enough for me, you should keep the rest for yourself."

"Oh, you're welcome."

Lin Yi waved his hand very boldly, let alone dozens of phagocytosis sacs of different colors fell from the air, and then were floated in the air by the gravitational protection field below.

"...??"

Looking at such a huge number of phagocytosis in front of him, Gandalf's jaw almost dropped in shock.

"... Where did you get so many space artifacts?"

"Of course I made it myself!"

"..."

Gandalf immediately shut his mouth.

It's over if I say so early!

It made him stay polite...

Gandalf unceremoniously picked and picked among the phagocytic sacs in front of him, and finally picked two gray and white phagocytic sacs, and hung them on his waist together with the previous one.

Seeing that Gandalf had picked out the phagocytic sac, Lin Yi waved his hand again, and put the phagocytic sac floating in front of him back into the inventory again.

"Okay, Lao Gan, do you have any plans next?"

Lao Gan...

Gandalf twitched the corner of his mouth, then shook his head solemnly.

"There is nothing left. Sauron already knows that we have found his traces, and he will definitely not return to Dol Guldur. This time we are completely alarmed!"

"It doesn't matter, let him go back to Mordor, and we didn't get nothing."

Thinking of the true knowledge spar in Lin Yi's hand, Gandalf couldn't help but nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi smiled, patted Gandalf on the shoulder and said, "Since you don't have any good ideas, you might as well listen to me—how about it, are you interested?"

"Of course, you said..."

"Go to Moria, let's go see the guy who drove the dwarves away!"

……

On the other side, in the dark forest.

I don't know what kind of agreement Thranduil reached with Thorin and others. After completely losing hope of escape, Bilbo and Thorin finally agreed to the request of the elf king Thranduil and formed an alliance with him. A team that sneaked into the Lonely Mountain.

Thorin is responsible for providing maps and information, while Thranduil provides resources and help.

But in the selection of the members of the squad, the two sides got into some disputes.
