When he became the target of public criticism, Lucius disappeared and completely lost all signals along with the entire City Lord's Mansion.

His disappearance is like a catalyst, but also like a demon, igniting a drastic change in the power game between the two opposing camps.

Thranduy thought Lucius just didn't want to see him again.But if he is willing to stay in Long Lake, Thranduil can at least be sure that he is safe even if he does not meet.

But apparently, as Lucius had told him, he had no idea of ​​what wizards were capable of.

The guards guarding the castellan's mansion were unaware of the dispute between Lucius and Thranduil at the time, so they respectfully watched Lucius walk out of the castellan's mansion without obstruction, and of course they were not qualified to intervene.

Thranduy followed the statements of the guards along the road all the way to the outside of the city gate, and no one knew where Lucius went after entering the dense forest.

Where can Lucius go?

This is not a good sign.

Thranduil sent most of the guards and patrols into the dense forest, but they searched the area north of the old forest road, but they couldn't find any trace of Lucius.

"Report Your Majesty, there is no dense forest."

"Report Your Majesty, there is no one in Changhu Town."

"Report Your Majesty, there is no one in River Valley City."

"Report to Your Majesty, the old forest road has not been found."

As the messengers came and went one after another, Hadion and Galian watched Thranduil's expression getting worse day by day.

After Thranduil returned to the kingdom from Long Lake, he stayed in the hall and waited for the news of the search, but he did not send any envoys outside the kingdom.

After this state lasted for three days, Hardion couldn't bear it any longer: "Your Majesty, aren't we sending news to Rivendell?"

Hardion was equally worried about Lucius' safety, but he was also worried about the safety of the entire world war situation.Because he had listened to the heated discussion at Rivendell's place, he knew very well how important the news from Lucius was to that side.

However, Thranduil remained unmoved.It was impossible to tell from his face what he was still thinking.

With a bitter face, Garyan shook his head to prevent Hadian from continuing to ask.

"Why did you inform Rivendell of the news of Lucius' disappearance?" Legolas, who had been watching for a while, asked.

Hearing this, Galian and Hardion looked at the elf prince together, but they both showed hesitant expressions.

When Lucius had just disappeared, Galian and Annis, who had not missed much information, learned the whole story from Hardion.

Originally, the three of them have always been the closest observers of all the entanglements between the elf king and the wizard.

In contrast, even though he saw Thranduil and Lucius holding hands outside Erebor, he didn't realize the delicate relationship between them, and Legolas missed much more information.

What's more, after Lucius' dragon slaying feat, Legolas was assigned by Thranduil to return to guard the country.And Thranduy himself went straight from the valley to Long Lake, from Long Lake to Rivendell, and then from Rivendell back to Long Lake to have a dispute with Lucius. At this time, he was leaving the kingdom to attend the coronation in River Valley City After the ceremony, he returned to his palace for the first time.

However, Thranduil did not communicate with Legolas after returning home.After he gave the order to search the Mirkwood, Legolas and Anis, who also returned to the kingdom, took on the task of directly leading the team to search.

Until not long ago, Legolas returned to Thranduil's study to return to his command.

Galian glanced at Thranduil again, but the latter didn't show any intention to explain his son's doubts.The head elf had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Did Annis say anything to you?"

"No." Legolas also showed a puzzled expression, "I don't know why, but he doesn't want to come back. We have searched the Mirkwood twice, but found nothing. But he seems to be convinced that there will be dead ends that we haven't found yet. I feel like he is blaming himself, but I can't understand why? Although his father let him serve as Lucius' valet, but with Lucius' strength, if he wants to avoid him and do something, he can't do anything. There is no way, right?"

"Things are not that simple." Galian was in a dilemma for a long time, but still only choked out such a simple sentence.

"What the hell is that?" Legolas asked immediately without any hesitation, "No matter what happened, what's the point of keeping it from me?"

The elf prince sullenly, very angry.But after all, he stayed alone in the kingdom for a while, even if he was angry, he was much more stable than before.

This different performance finally made Thranduil, who had been silent for several days, come over.

The elf king looked at the elf prince with angry eyes that hadn't faded away, and he was so calm that there was no wave.

Thranduy may feel helpless because of Lucius' misunderstanding, but the change of the situation is not only a problem between the two of them, but more importantly, Lucius' safety and the situation of the overall war.

Of course, Lucius' questioning was not just a questioning.

The action Thranduil asked the elves to search for Lucius was also to protect Lucius.

The fact that Lucius had a quarrel with him was destined to be hidden from either party.

Not to mention that Sauron had deliberately facilitated this situation in the first place, and it was very likely that he had already paid attention to their conversation at that time.

As for Rivendell, Thranduil would not let them be unaware.

The difference is only a few days behind the news.

If Lucius had returned to Dol Guldur by now, Sauron might have taken advantage of the situation.Under such circumstances, even if Thranduil immediately sent someone to deliver the news, it would not be able to change the situation of the battle.

But if Lucius didn't immediately step into Sauron's camp, then neither Sauron nor Holy White would want to see Lucius still by Thranduil's side.

Because that would only make Sauron murderous towards Lucius, or add more topics to Saruman's entanglement.

Therefore, as long as the Woodland Kingdom shows that it is still trying to find Lucius, it can at least add another guarantee for Lucius' safety.

Thranduil analyzed the situation before him extremely calmly.

After three days of delay, the Woodland Kingdom did not receive any news from the opposing parties.

This confirmed Thranduil's guess that Lucius did not return to Sauron's side.

In the battlefield, no one can continue to maintain aloof neutrality.And Lucius chose to hide at this time, what exactly was he trying to do?

But no matter what Lucius is going to do, the flames of war will not stop burning.

The consideration in Thranduil's eyes gradually disappeared, and he focused on his son in front of him: "Legolas, you need to complete one thing next."

******

Not long after Lucius left Dol Guldur, Sauron waved away the people gathered around him, and his projection disappeared from Dol Guldur.

However, his attention was soon placed on the crystal of true knowledge, and the figure of Lucius appeared in front of his eyes, clearly seeing the confrontation between the wizard and the elf king.

He saw Lucius repeatedly questioning but still got nothing.

In the end, the influence in the crystal followed Lucius all the way out of the Santo's Mansion and into the dense forest.After turning around a dense bush, the picture froze, and the living Lucius just disappeared from the image.

Sauron was stunned for a whole moment, and the outburst of anger washed away the bracket supporting the crystal.

There were three Ringwraiths staying in Mordor guarding Barado Tower, and they couldn't help being stunned seeing this scene.

"Master, what trick did he play?"

"He deceived the great master."

"Shut up!" Sauron's angry coercion surged for a moment, causing the three shadows to retreat a little, avoiding the destructive aura emanating from the center in fear.

"Master." A ring spirit said quickly and fearlessly, "He used insidious tricks, but he can't really disappear. Please let me catch him back for you!"

"As long as the whole world is destroyed, there's no way he'll have a place to hide." Another ring spirit echoed in a low voice.

"Shut up." The entangled ghost was not good at speaking, but he mentioned the key information.Sauron immediately remembered his original plan for Lucius, and the uncontrollable emotions disappeared like this.An interesting soul from another world, not very capable but indeed a bit unique.Sauron's gradually blurred figure flickered on and off, but in the end there was no further movement.

"Master, do you want to inform Saruman?" the most silent Ringwraith asked at this moment.

"Hmph." Sauron listened, but did not agree, "Launch the attack according to the plan, and complete your mission as quickly as possible. I want the whole world to be engulfed in flames."

Throughout the night, the abnormal movement buried in the ground erupted upwards through the thick rock formations. Amidst the trembling sound of the ground, the Barado Tower was bathed in the color of the ground fire, and began to exude a palpitating coercion.

The black door of Mordor opened, and the long-suppressed army sealed in Mordor poured out. Like a black torrent, it ran over the crumbling Ithilien, and the door that Amon Han had just repaired an outline was directly smashed to pieces.
