Chapter 61 Brown Robe Wizard
After coming out of the ogre cave, Dui used the crystal of true knowledge to search for other ogre caves.

But he and Gandalf had already swept through the nearby troll caves, and the remaining ones were very far away, and no living people were found to have been captured by the trolls.

After some discussion, the two decided not to continue tracking the ogre.

Instead, he decided to go to the valley.

As the savior this time, with the agreement of both Gandalf and Dewi, Thorin no longer stubbornly opposed it even though he was reluctant.

But after experiencing the disaster with the trolls, he became more eager to reach the Lonely Mountain, enter the mountain and obtain the Arkenstone, so as to summon and command the dwarves.

So everyone had no objection to the trip to the valley.

After packing up their things, they left the Troll Forest and continued heading east towards the Valley.

Soon after, the news of the tragic deaths of ogres spread among the ogres. They said that a monster that specialized in hunting ogres appeared in the forest. It would eat the hearts of ogres and release fire. Any ogre who encountered it would die.

As the story became more and more terrifying, many frightened ogres hid in caves in the mountains and dared not go down the mountain, for fear of encountering the horrible monster and losing their lives.

As a result, the probability of attacks near the Troll Forest dropped sharply, and passing travelers and traveling merchants became safer.

At the same time, some of the villagers who were rescued from the trolls by Due and Gandalf chose to take a boat down the river from the Last Bridge and head to the human settlements and kingdoms in the south.

The other part chose to cross the last bridge, cross the wilderness, and head west along the East-West Avenue.

The story of Dui and Gandalf killing the ogres and saving the villagers was also spread all over the place by the villagers.

The reputation of the Grey-Robed Wizard and the Black-Robed Wizard once again spread throughout the Eriador region, and the name of "Troll Killer" spread like wildfire.

They left the Ogre Forest, but before they had gone far, they heard a noise in the distance.

Instantly, everyone became alert and vigilant.

But it was soon discovered to be a false alarm.

It turned out to be the brown-robed wizard Darrigast, who was driving a wooden sled pulled by rabbits. He moved through the mountains and forests as if it were flat ground and quickly came to the crowd.

Gandalf was a little surprised to see that it was an old friend who showed up.

"Darigast, what are you doing here?"

Darraghast was as tall as Gandalf, wearing a brown wide-brimmed hat covered with bird droppings, and a drab robe covered with dirt, grass leaves, and branch fragments, looking very sloppy and strange.

"I was looking for you, Gandalf."

"Something is wrong, very wrong!"

Daregast looked a little crazy.

"What's wrong?" Gandalf asked in confusion, as he was used to his behavior.

"The Great Greenwood is sick, shrouded in a darkness. The trees are withered, the air is foul, and the waters are poisonous. Giant spiders have appeared there, too. They must be the spawn of Ungoliant."

Ungoliant is an evil god born in the void darkness outside the world of Arda. He is a very huge spider. He once joined forces with Sauron's master, Dark Morgoth, to destroy the Two Trees that symbolize light, causing the world to fall into darkness for a time.

The son of Ugoliant, Hilob, was someone even the Demon King Sauron dared not easily antagonize, and would even regularly send orcs to her as sustenance, which shows how terrifying her power was. "I followed the giant spider's tracks all the way to Dorguldu," Darrigast continued, "where I discovered the necromancer's whereabouts, and also this thing..." As he spoke, he pulled out something wrapped in leather from his robes.

"Necromancer..." Gandalf's expression became serious and solemn. He took the thing and opened the leather.

Wrapped in the cloth was a pitch-black ancient sword, emitting a heart-pounding aura of coldness, darkness, and ominousness.

"Morgul's Blade, the sword of the Witch-king of Angmar,"

Gandalf frowned and looked up at Dewi.

Ever since he encountered the wights at Barrow-Down, Gandalf had known that the Witch-king of Angmar was still alive. Now, when he saw the Witch-king's sword, he instantly realized the seriousness of the matter.

As we all know, the Witch-king of Angmar is a minion of the Dark Lord Sauron. Now the Witch-king of Angmar appears in Dol Guldur, and there are rumors of necromancers in the surrounding area.

The identity of this necromancer is about to be revealed, and all that is left is the final confirmation.

But before Gandalf could think further, the howling of wolves in the distance interrupted his thoughts.

"Is that a wolf howling? Are there wolves in this area?" Bilbo asked doubtfully.

But the dwarves immediately became nervous, "Wolf? This isn't just a wolf howling, it's a warg!"

The next second, a giant wolf rushed out of the forest, leaped high, and bit towards everyone with its fangs bared.

However, before the giant wolf landed on the ground, it was hit by a spell from Dui, and instantly petrified and fell to the ground. Then it was stabbed to death by the flaming sword.

Gandalf killed the other wolf that rushed out with his newly acquired sword.

"Hurry up, these are wolf scouts, and they must be followed by a large group of Orcs!" Gandalf warned seriously.

"We can't go any further. The horses have been frightened away!" Doli, the dwarf in charge of logistics, told everyone the bad news.

On the contrary, Dui's pony Xiaodai's reaction was as stupid as its name, and there was a carriage pulling it, so it did not run away like the other horses.

But such a carriage could not accommodate so many people running together.

Seeing this, the brown-robed wizard Daregast suggested: "I will lead them away, and you take the opportunity to escape."

"But that's the Wolf of Gundabad! Are you sure, Daregast?" Gandalf asked worriedly.

"I have the Ross Gobel Hare. I want them to try and see if they can catch up with me?" Darrigast said very confidently.

"Then I will also be responsible for attracting a group of orcs and wargs," Dui said as he stepped forward. "I will drive the carriage alone. This way we can share the burden and it will be safer."

"Who is this?" Daregast looked at Dui curiously.

"This is the black-robed wizard Doir," Gandalf introduced, then frowned and looked at Doir with concern. "Doir, are you sure you really want to do this? That's an army of Wargs and Orcs, definitely not comparable to those ragtag goblins we encountered in the wilderness before!"

Dewi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Gandalf. I'm confident in my ability to protect myself. Once we've lured the Orcs away, run as fast as you can towards Rivendell. Once you cross the Ferry of Bruinen and enter the land of the Elves, you'll be safe."
