Chapter 1069 1051 Tomb

Chapter 1069 1051. Tomb

The Rudolf Plateau is the collective name for a large area.

If there is no one who knows the way, it will definitely not be easy to find the tomb where the Witch King of Angmar is buried in this large area.

Since entering this desolate and gloomy land, Lann automatically slowed down the Qilin and fell behind Radagast.

Let the scruffy old wizard lead the way in his rabbit sleigh.

"It's right in front!"

On a gray-black land, there is an abrupt and steep mountain peak rising from the ground.

This mountain peak stands alone on the plateau, completely inconsistent with geological movement.

Considering the geological history of the world of Arda, this may be a mountain that the ancient Valar could have created directly out of thin air when they raised mountains and planned rivers in Middle-earth.

This mountain is not high, but it is still seven or eight hundred meters high. The strangest thing is the appearance.

It is very sharp and sharp, almost like a pile of huge rock fragments stacked together and then standing on the plateau.

The whole thing is a smoky black.

This black color is by no means natural and has nothing to do with the local soil and rock quality. It is more like it has been infected by something over time.

"It's an evil force."

Radagast asserted after reaching the foot of the mountain.

He stepped off the rabbit sled and tapped the rock wall of the mountain with the wooden wand in his hand, grinning in disgust and disgust.

“You can’t go wrong!”

Lan En also asked Qilin and the big rabbits to go aside, and he and the flannel ball jumped down.

The witcher looked up and saw that the sky in this area had never cleared up and was always cloudy.

This sharp mountain still retains the snow from last winter.

"Tomb." Lan En frowned slightly, his eyes scanning back and forth on this weird mountain. "Where is the tomb?"

Although this mountain is only seven or eight hundred meters high, it is still a mountain and extremely huge.

"Just follow me, come on."

Radagast also frowned and looked at the mountains in front of him, but unlike Lan's searching eyes, he was mainly looking at memories.

"First count twelve rock flakes to the east, and then... hmm!"

The old wizard muttered as he took off his hat and let the three birds nesting in his hair fly out to find and determine the route for him.

Radagast stepped forward, the skirt of his tattered gray robe swaying, and waved his wand behind him without looking back.

It means asking Lan En to stop talking nonsense and just keep up.

"Well, I don't think he is reliable, meow~"

The flannel ball jumped to the ground, and as he walked forward, he raised his head and asked his boss worriedly.

Lan En shrugged: "After all, he is an old wizard who has lived for who knows how long. Is it okay? It should be."

——

This mountain is very difficult to climb.

This is true even in the eyes of Velvet Ball, who has surpassed Lan En due to the [Light Body Technique] due to his size and weight.

The flaky mountain has few places to stay.

And it seems that it is precisely because of the characteristics of this mountain that the Northern Kingdom, which was responsible for burying the Witch King of Angmar, chose this place in order to avoid anyone coming into contact with the tomb.

Radagast finally found the way up by relying on his vague memory and the detection of birds.

Those are many stone steps artificially installed from the rocky mountain.

These stone steps are unobstructed and stick out from the mountain, making people's hair stand on end.

Two people and one cat began to climb the stone steps.

It had been so long since the tomb was built that even the stones had become crispy in the wind and rain.

The originally continuous stone steps have been disconnected in many places.

Fortunately, those who come up are not ordinary people. Even Radagast looks sloppy and old, but he is stronger than the strong young man among ordinary people.

The stone steps zigzagged back and forth, rising halfway up the mountain, more than 300 meters, before finally opening a hole inward in the flake-shaped mountain.

There is a corridor in the cave, which is as wide and narrow as the inside and outside of the cave entrance, which is much narrower than the shoulder width of ordinary people.

It can only accommodate one person walking normally.

For Lan En, it was narrow and cramped, and he had to lower his head and move sideways when moving forward.

But after walking through the corridor, it was still not stable.

There is no stable ground at the end of the corridor, but a square, bottomless hole. It is estimated that it was dug directly to the bottom of the mountain.

Opposite the square hole is another doorway.

There is deep darkness inside the door, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Show some light, Radagast."

Lan En still doesn't know what kind of magic the wizards in this world can do, but the flash spell is very reliable.

Radagast blew twice toward the crystal tip of the wand, as if blowing out a candle, and then the crystal lit up with a gentle light.

This light can radiate very far.

The scene in the doorway opposite the cave was also illuminated.

There should have been an iron gate at the door, and the iron bars were strong and thick.

But now, the iron gate is broken open from the inside.

A powerful force, like tearing through a curtain, turned the iron fence door into a cloth bag opening that broke outward.

The iron bars were torn and broken, and rust could be seen when they were turned outwards. It seemed that the door had been broken through for a long time.

And continue to look inside along the light on the wand

"Pullingleng!"

Radagast's bird jumped out of the darkness and flew toward the old wizard in panic.

In the corner that was illuminated by the light for a moment, there was no strict seal

The lid of the sarcophagus, which was as thick as a fist, was completely broken!

The thick iron chain that originally tied the sarcophagus also drooped limply on the ground!

"This is.!"

Radagast was also stunned by the scene in front of him.

There was a circle of loose stones on the edge of the cave where people could stand. He quickly raised his wand to illuminate and moved towards the door opposite where the sarcophagus was placed.

He grabbed the torn and turned-out iron bars of the iron fence with one hand, and used the light to illuminate and look at the surrounding rock walls.

"This is not right, this is not right! It shouldn't be!"

The old wizard said tremblingly, and his old and crazy voice echoed deep in the deep darkness.

"This place is full of malicious spells! Ancient and full of hatred!"

"How could the people of the Northern Kingdom use such a spell to bury the Witch King of Angmar?! Are they driven crazy by hatred?"

"This is an evil servant!"

"You don't know?" Lan En asked Radagast across the corridor at the door.

"I don't know! I wasn't there when they buried people!"

The witcher rubbed his back teeth: "Then is there only the Witch King of Angmar here? Only him?"

"No"

Radagast said blankly, his face was wooden.

As he spoke, he stretched the tip of the glowing magic wand to the hole in the ground, motioning Lan En to look down.

There are many layers under this deep hole in the ground.

And each layer has an iron fence door that has been torn open from the inside and turned outward!

Radagast raised his head and looked at Lan En, who had just stretched his head and looked down, across the hole in the ground.

The sloppy old wizard's eyes were trembling with panic, and he was still muttering.

"The Witch King of Angmar is one of them, and the total number is nine!"

"Do you have to recite poetry at this time? Oh my God!"

Lan En pinched his eyebrows with a headache.

At the same time, the witcher nodded to the Elu cat behind him.

The calico kitten meowed seriously and solemnly.

Then, it nimbly and lightly jumped past Lan En who was squatting.

After jumping out of the corridor, it jumped directly down.

The Elu cat who had practiced [Light Body Technique] was extremely light, and its claws stepped on the small cracks on the rock wall as a leverage point.

In the square and deep cave, the kitten jumped back and forth, observing every iron gate that was torn from the inside.

Radagast also picked up the wand upside down and aimed it at the cave to provide lighting.

"This layer of coffins has been broken, meow!"

"This layer is also broken, meow!"

As the fluff ball observed and reported, Radagast's face became more and more ugly.

He held the wand with more force, and the light on the wand also increased, following the fluff ball to explore the bottom layer by layer.

Lan En, who maintained a half-squatting state, followed the flannel ball's jumping figure with his eyes, and stroked the rock wall of the corridor with his fingers.

At the beginning, how much effort did the people of the Northern Kingdom spend to build such a terrifying tomb?

They had to dig out the mountain wall, hollow out the passage inside the mountain, and transport the huge sarcophagus through this narrow corridor and seal it.

It is true that there is magic in this world, but with Lan En's rough understanding of the magic of this world, their magic can't do things that are convenient for people.

For example, there is no achievement in the field of architecture.

In this case, what did the Northern Kingdom pay to build such a mausoleum?

Lan En soon found out.

The fluff ball flexibly explored the nine-layer cave below, layer by layer. It was easy for a kitten who could match the leader of the Lone Shadow Ninjas with the [Light Body Technique] due to his racial talent.

But when Fey stepped on the bottom of the cave, it did not make the slight sound of the paws stepping on the rocks.

Instead, it made a "clang clang" sound of metal collision.

The light emitted by Radagast's wand, which was raised downward, also extended to the bottom layer.

"Meow!"

The fluff ball screamed.

The bottom layer of this square cave was already covered with a layer of corpses. Because the cave was not big, it was estimated that there were only about ten people.

These corpses were wearing rusty and dusty armor, and the style and shape of the armor were different from what Lan En had seen in this world.

"It's the corpses of the soldiers of the Northern Kingdom!"

Radagast recognized these armors at a glance.

"They sacrificed their lives to build this tomb!"

With insufficient technology, it is normal for people to die in a difficult project.

And considering the spells that Radagast had identified before. Given the hatred of the Northern Kingdom for the Witch King of Angmar, it is normal for people to die to seal the tomb.

But the problem does not end there.

After the scream of the Elu cat, a slight sound came out again from the pile of bones that had been silent.
