Chapter 1042 1024 Evil Division?

Chapter 1042 1024. Evil Division?

"This is my travel companion, the fluff ball, and the unicorn."

Lane patted the head of the cat, then patted the neck of the unicorn, and introduced Radagast in front of him.

"Hello, meow!"

"Hi, hi!"

The fluff ball waved its little paw politely, and the unicorn lowered its head and hissed softly.

The sloppy old man's eyes lit up when he saw this scene.

He seemed to have completely forgotten that a minute ago, the group was being chased by vicious giant spiders and vampire bats.

His trembling hands showed his excitement, and he had a satisfied auntie smile on his face. He stretched out his hands as if he wanted to touch them, but his hands wandered between the fluff ball and the unicorn.

"Oh~ beautiful and cute creatures! Oh~"

Radagast looked intoxicated.

"Look at this perfect skeleton, this noble and majestic horse! And this flexible little guy can talk! Hehe! It can talk!"

It's confirmed.

Lan En pursed his lips.

When he saw Radagast making a home for three little birds in his hat, he felt that this old man should be a druid.

That is, the kind of person who is close to nature and animals.

Now looking at his performance towards the flannel ball and the Qilin, this is directly confirmed.

Radagast's intoxicated smile made the flannel ball and the Qilin couldn't help but quietly step back a few steps.

Only Lan En was left standing in front to negotiate.

"Ahem, Radagast?"

After Lan En coughed lightly, he called the sloppy old man who was looking at the Qilin and the flannel ball and laughing foolishly to his senses.

"Hmm? Oh! It seems that you are indeed the people who came from afar because of an accident."

After Radagast came back to his senses, although he still kept his eyes drifting behind Lan, he could communicate at least.

"In Middle-earth, I have never seen such an elegant and noble horse, and a talking kitten! The wonders of the world are endless, right! When I have free time, I really want to travel to every corner of Arda and see every creature!"

This is the first time that Lan's face is exposed and ignored, which feels a bit fresh.

Arda. From what he said, this world has a specific name, which is called Arda?

The Mentos in his mind is responsible for filing the new information, while Lan continues to communicate.

"Yes, we came here in a daze and have no idea what's going on."

The helpless and clueless expression on the demon hunter's face is just right.

Although Radagast is sloppy, he has a good heart.

He looked at Lan, and his old face showed a kind of understanding and compassion that an old man has when he looks at a young man in trouble.

He patted Lan's arm with the hand that did not hold the wand.

"Then you are really unlucky. This is the southern part of Mirkwood, where the vicious darkness lingers. There is an old and gloomy castle near where we ran out just now. These evil creatures are gathered by the darkness there and multiply."

When mentioning the old castle, Radagast's originally sloppy but open-minded face inadvertently revealed some fear.

And the originally warm breeze in the forest suddenly cooled at this time. It seemed that even the surrounding environment had changed because Radagast mentioned that evil place.

'Darkness' and 'evil'. These two words caught Lan's attention.

Because old Tom had explained it to Lan at Tom Bombadil's house.

The old willow tree that wanted to trick them as soon as they met was not an evil, dark creature, but just an exclusive wild life.

But according to Lan's judgment, intending to kill passers-by at will should be considered evil.

Unless in this world, the judgment standards for "evil and darkness" are different from those in other worlds.

After all, this is a place that clearly has a creator god, and even the creator god continues to pay attention to the world. It is normal to have differences from other worlds.

And now, I realize that Radagast just says a vague place name, and the surrounding atmosphere will change slightly.

Lan understands a little bit.

Simply harming people does not seem to be defined as "evil" in this world, because even bears and wild boars in the forest can kill people.

The definition of "evil" represents something with greater influence and depth in this world.

"That old castle." Thinking of this, Lan wanted to test it one last time, "What is the name of the castle?"

The fear in Radagast's eyes unconsciously became even greater, but he still swallowed and said a name.

"Dol Guldur."

When this name appeared, the atmosphere became more solemn.

Not only did the breeze become chilly, but even the gloomy woods area from which they had run out began to be filled with the sound of rustling trees again.

It was like the legs of a giant spider rubbing and moving on the tree trunk.

It seemed that because of this sentence, the giant spider that had turned back wandered restlessly for a while.

"So, you are here to contain the evil?"

Lan En moved his shoulders. The gust of cold wind just now made him feel uncomfortable all over.

"Contain? Uh."

Speaking of this, Radagast scratched his nose, a little embarrassed.

"My magic power is not enough for that kind of thing. At most, I can monitor. Well, I am monitoring the old castle."

"But compared to monitoring, shouldn't we go one step further and eliminate the darkness?"

"Eliminate? Go in?"

Radagast looked at Lan En who made the suggestion in horror, and quickly rejected the idea.

"No, no, no!"

"This is not a decision that can be made easily! It must not be hasty! What if it wakes up the inside..."

The sloppy old man waved his hands again and again. And at the end, he quickly covered his mouth before a certain word came out of his mouth.

Lan En saw his resistance and understood that there must be a deeper reason.

So he was very tactful and stopped asking.

"I think we should talk about something else."

Radagast put the staff in his arms, dug under his tattered brown robe, and finally took out a simple but usable pipe.

He stuffed the pipe with tobacco, then lit it, and walked forward while smoking.

He stood on the sled again, but now the big rabbits pulling the sled slowed down and there was no sense of emergency.

Lan En also turned over and sat on the back of Qilin, walking in sync with him.

His tone and expression when he changed the topic were very stiff, and it could be seen that he was not good at dealing with people.

But with Lan En's thoughtful cooperation, he did not notice this.

"You said you entered Mirkwood by accident. You are really unlucky. This forest is full of magic. Ordinary people only need to walk for less than half a minute here to completely lose their way, and their minds will be confused and their memories will be blurred."

"Of course, you and your companions look unusual, but I still suggest you don't take risks. Magic is not easy to deal with."

Radagast looked at the young man sympathetically.

"Do you remember where you used to live? Or where you are going? Let me see if I can show you the way."

"The place where I used to live is too far away, and I am traveling, and I don't want to go back now."

Lan En said calmly.

"There is a place to go. Let's just say there is one. Radagast, have you heard the name of a female elf?"

"Female elves? I don't know many, but tell me."

Radagast's tense nerves were soothed by the pipe grass, and he happily blew out a smoke ring.

"Galadrell, have you heard of it?"

"Ahem!"

Originally, Radagast wanted to blow out a beautiful straight line with his next puff of smoke, passing through his previous smoke ring.

But after Lan En said this name, he blew out a large cloud of white smoke that directly dispersed the smoke ring.

Radagast coughed several times before looking up at Lan En next to him with a strange look.

"You are looking for Lady Galadriel? Why are you looking for her?"

"One of her friends asked me to bring greetings." Lan En raised his eyebrows. "But from your appearance, it seems that her identity is not simple?"

After hearing Lan En's reason, Radagast calmed down a little, but still shook his head.

"Then you are really unlucky, Lan."

"Lady Galadriel lives in Lothlórien Forest all year round. She and her husband are the rulers of that forest. That forest is not far from Mirkwood, but it is difficult to walk."

The sloppy old man simply described the geographical location to Lan.

The Mirkwood they are in now is a long strip of forest running from north to south, close to the long strip of Misty Mountains running from north to south. They are now in the south.

And Lothlórien Forest is not far from the southwest corner of Mirkwood.

It stands to reason that as long as there are no accidents and the legs are strong enough, it will take less than a month to get there.

But "no accidents" is unlikely.

Because the old castle that occupies darkness, attracts evil, and makes Radagast keep it a secret - Dol Guldur, it happens to be located in the southwest corner of Mirkwood.

"Trust me, kid."

The sloppy old man smoked his pipe and spoke in a low but serious voice.

"Anyone who wants to pass by the castle, or even just want to get close to it, is definitely looking for death, or is crazy."

If you want to take a detour, you have to go straight west out of the Mirkwood, then continue west, cross the Misty Mountains horizontally, and then turn south to reach the Forest of Lothlórien.

In this way, the three-month journey is an understatement and a smooth one.

Lan En felt a little numb.

At this time, Radagast was still delivering the blow.

"And I'm sorry, kid. It's unlikely that I can lead you all the way out of the Mirkwood. After all, I have something important to do here and I can't leave."

The sloppy old man looked at Lan En with an apologetic look.

Lan En pinched his forehead and sighed.

"Don't look like that, Radagast. You were not obligated to help me anyway. I'm already very grateful for giving me information and ideas."

Seven or eight big rabbits pulled the cart easily. Radagast on the sled looked even more embarrassed after hearing what Lan En said.

Good people are always like this.

He scratched the corner of his mouth with the mouthpiece of his pipe, and then his eyes rolled.

"But the magic covering the forest. Well, it's not impossible!"
