There was no need to worry about disturbing any creatures on the return trip, and Lucius spent much less time than when he went.

After disappearing for several days in a row, when Lucius returned to the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't alarm anyone.

Qi Lier had long been used to his elusiveness, and never asked casually.

Long Lake was still the same as before, and it was not affected by that wave of spiders.

Lucius returned to his bedroom, and before he opened the door of the potion room, he sensed an obvious repulsion, bearing the strong imprint of the Elf King.

In the potions room, Snape's portrait was placed in the center of the workbench.There was something next to him.

"A lot of spiders crawled out of the window not long ago, but they couldn't get in." The Potions professor said in a flat tone.

Lucius sneered, took out a delicate small box from his pocket, and placed it between the portrait and the object on the table.The outer skin of the box is not only completely covered with dragon skin, but also painted with obscure patterns.

"Is this the one?" Snape raised his eyebrows, "Did you take it and bring it back?"

"I did a quiz." Lucius replied softly without much explanation.

If after seeing the picture of Rivendell shown by Sauron with his own eyes, Lucius could still ignore that the other party has the means to monitor the continent, then he would be too stupid.

What was stored in the small box was the ring that Angmar wanted Lucius to offer.

Although Sauron's reason for tempting Lucius to go to Dol Guldur was about the world passage, he certainly would not forget the various chips he could have.He deliberately isolated the ring from the magic weapon with layers of magic, just to bring this to Sauron.

Since it is a bargaining chip for exchange, Lucius naturally needs to accurately assess its value.

It turns out that such a small risk is worth it.Sauron could not sense the existence of the ring.If he could really know, he wouldn't have sent spiders to "visit" Lucius' Sanctuary Mansion when Lucius left Long Lake Town.

And, another attempt turned out to be better than expected.He looks to the side.I saw that a piece of pure black paper less than two palms in size was unfolded on the workbench, on which a complex and complete magic circle was outlined by brush strokes with traces of wear and tear.Although it is impossible to see where the power of this piece of paper comes from, it actually makes a gorgeous ring suspend above it, rotating slowly.Accompanied by such steady rotation, the entire range of the potion room centered on it was filled with the aura that belonged exclusively to the king of the woodland kingdom.

Although this breath can't hinder the real masters, it is more than enough to stop the minions sent by Sauron.

Lucius reached out and retracted the suspended snake-shaped ring, and the extremely oppressive aura was also swept away.

Lightly tap the tip of the staff, and the magic circle engraved on the pure black paper rolled up by itself, and finally returned to Lucius's interspatial bag.

After tidying up all the arrangements he had left before he left, Lucius sat down with an unfathomable expression.

Snape didn't notice Lucius' abnormality at first, but he was surprised when he saw Malfoy showing obvious dazed look, "What's wrong?"

what happened?

When this question suddenly sounded in Lucius' mind, a series of chaotic images and emotions surged uncontrollably.

The glory of the Malfoy family, the previous life, all kinds of things that have happened since crossing the world, all of a sudden, these things that were only vaguely related were all connected together.That one prophecy is like a line launched from the origin, drawing the main axis that everything needs to return to.

That prophecy is the reason why the Malfoy family was born in the first place, and Lucius is the end of this axis.

If this is the case, then of course the Woodland Kingdom will not need any "returned overseas Chinese".

Lucius looked at the jewelry box on the table and recalled everything that happened in the past few days.If he hadn't gotten the Lord of the Rings by chance, would he have been targeted by Sauron?

Things that were uncertain before are now clear.

For Sauron, Lucius's addition of the Lord of the Rings was nothing more than a small accidental factor.As far as Lucius is concerned, it is an extra negotiating chip that is not light or heavy.

After all, as long as the prophecy exists, Sauron will find Lucius sooner or later.

As for the conflict of magic power and the series of things related to it that was pulled out by Jin Gallon's believer, they can only be regarded as inevitable in accident.

This was probably why Sauron didn't mind letting Lucius move freely.Because Lucius wants to solve the problem of magic conflict, he can only bow to him in the end.

The elves and the woodland kingdom brought Lucius the elven lineage of this world, but what troubled him was the brand Lucius brought from another world.

Problems involving the level of differences between worlds cannot be solved by Thranduil with the elf spring water, which originated from this continent.After all, just the power of the curse has made the elf lords helpless.

And here, the only existence that Lucius could find with at least the same level of power as that curse was Sauron?

Why did the only thing Thranduil expected of him was to stay away from the darkness?

Because this is the only inevitable path he will embark on.

In this way, even if Sauron would believe Thranduil's "prophecy has nothing to do with this war", Lucius himself would not believe it.

That was the only expectation, and the only expectation that was utterly impossible to achieve.As for other expectations, even if there are, there is really no meaning in existence.

"Ah."

Lucius sneered.

This trip to Dol Guldur is really "worth the trip".

******

A call for help sparked by tensions on the front lines becomes nondescript with Saruman's gags.

Perhaps it was because of Elrond's "leaking the secret" that Thranduil lost the last bit of interest in doing business. He didn't wait for the laggard King of the Valley and the King of Dwarves to arrive, and he left with the elves of the Woodland Kingdom.

When the representatives of human beings felt lost because of the loss of possible reinforcements, Thranduil, who rushed back to Romanian at the fastest speed, only cared about the facts thrown out by Saruman.

No matter what kind of thoughts the white-robed wizard has in mind, it is always difficult to create something out of nothing.It is a fact that Lucius went to Dol Guldur when the Elven King left Romanian.

But why did he do this?

The more Thranduil thought about the sporadic and abnormal behavior of Lucius he had observed before, the more frightened he became.

The elf king's guard of honor did not return home, but went straight to the City Lord's Mansion in Changhu Town.

Most of Changhu Town was startled by this non-stop cavalry team.

After Thranduil took Hadien into the Sanctuary's Mansion, he soon saw Annis who seemed to be distracted by the bedroom door.

"Where's Lucius?" Thranduy said with undisguised anxiety.

"Ah?" Annis didn't have any mental preparations for the elf king coming in a hurry, and he answered with a blank face, "I don't know either."

Without getting a definite answer, Thranduil just raised his hand and pushed the door open.

Annis quickly stopped him: "I haven't seen Lucius for the past few days, and the door is locked..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the power of Thranduil's palm hit the door leaf, and the heavy door engraved with complicated patterns opened in response.

The scene behind the door stunned the three elves outside the door.

There was no light in the bedroom, but a fire was burning in the fireplace.

Lucius stood at the junction of light and darkness, with an indistinguishable expression on his face, but his eyes had already looked in the direction of the door, and his figure exuded an aura of neither sadness nor joy.

Compared with Rivendell, the distance between Long Lake and Dol Guldur is a bit further.Thranduil came back from Rivendell almost non-stop, so if Lucius had gone to Dol Guldur, maybe he wouldn't be here now.

Therefore, when seeing Lucius, Thranduy felt a flash of relief in his heart.

He who should have been angry and angry, but the only thoughts he wandered all the way were worry, and there was a touch of fear that he could barely grasp.

Thranduy originally thought that his greatest hope was to protect Lucius so that he could stay away from the direction of Dol Guldur, but at this moment he suddenly realized that what was hiding behind the stop was more fear of Lucius. Si will never come back.

Fortunately, he is still here.

However, Thranduil's relief had not yet surfaced, and his mood immediately sank to the bottom.

Lucius stood there with a gloomy face, and the shadow lying on him was so thick that it almost swallowed him completely.

If he had really stayed in the long lake with Thranduil's aura, it would be absolutely impossible for him to be contaminated with such a clear dark aura.

If you look closely, you can see that Lucius' eyes are deep, almost ghostly.

Thranduil heard Annis and Hadien gasped at the same time.

The feeling of uneasiness became clearer than ever, and Thranduy knew very well that Lucius was already waiting here, waiting for him to speak.

However, the turbulent complex emotions suddenly dropped to freezing point, and some answers were ready to come out.

"You..." When the voice came out of his throat, there was a bit of bitterness. Thranduil knew that the news that had to be confirmed to be true or false had become an established fact, and it was no longer a matter of trust or suspicion. The question arises, "Why Dol Guldur?"

Lucius twitched his lips and smiled.The smile reached deep into his eyes, but what appeared on his face was a gorgeous armor that could confuse people's hearts.

"Why do you ask me this question?" Lucius' soft words are now as gentle as the intimate words between lovers, "'The light that shines in the darkness will eventually fall into the darkness', even if others don't know , how could you not be clear? Isn’t there the direction I should go the most?”
