He remembered that there was a smoke spell inside that could release fog to hide the figure and block the enemy's vision.
He had an impression of this spell because he remembered that when Dumbledore met with Newt Scamander in London, he had used this spell to conceal his whereabouts and covered the entire London with fog.
Dui had only briefly read this spell once before, and now he could only learn and use it on the spot according to the spell book.
"Surrounded by clouds and mist~"
Fortunately, the spell was not complicated, and Dui succeeded on his first try. Thick mist poured out from the tip of the wand and continued to cover the surroundings in a vortex shape.
In the blink of an eye, the entire high pass was shrouded in thick fog, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.
The rock giants tried to push away the fog to find someone, but the fog kept coming, as if there was no end. They could only roar in frustration and throw the boulders in their hands away.
"Well done, Doir," Gandalf murmured in praise.
Dui took out the Crystal of Truth, and under the guidance of the Crystal of Truth, the two of them successfully passed through the fog and the rock giants and came to the location of Thorin and others.
This is a cave. There is no one inside and no signs of leaving.
Gandalf saw this scene and struck the ground in front of him with his staff. The ground collapsed instantly, revealing a huge black slide.
"Oh no! This is a trap set by the goblins. Thorin and the others must have been captured by the goblins!"
"Don't worry, Gandalf, let's use the Stone of Palantir to see their situation first." Dui took out the Stone of Palantir, and the scene Dui wanted to see appeared in the crystal ball.
In the crystal ball, Thorin and others were in a huge underground cave, surrounded by countless suspension bridges and ladders built of wood, and thousands of densely packed goblins.
Goblins are actually a kind of orcs. They are short in stature, have dark green skin, and are much smaller than humans. They usually live in underground caves, mines or mountain tunnels. They like to move in the dark and are good at digging and building underground passages. They make a living by stealing, robbing and setting traps.
Unlike the strong and violent Orcs, the Goblins are more cunning and timid.
At this time, the dwarves were surrounded by countless goblins, their weapons were confiscated, and they were brought before the Goblin King.
Instead, Bilbo used the Hobbit's stealth talent to make the goblins fail to notice his presence, allowing him to successfully escape being arrested.
"Ha, it seems our Mr. Snitch is lucky to have escaped." Gandalf said, "We must speed up our pace, otherwise these dwarves will become food for the goblins."
As he spoke, he groped around and knocked on the surrounding stone walls with his staff, then struck a stone wall hard, causing it to break, revealing a cave passage.
"Let's go, let's go to Goblin Town."
Before Dui put the crystal ball into the leather bag, he saw Bilbo being discovered by a goblin. During the fight, the two fell into the abyss under the cave.
Bilbo was very lucky not to die after falling from a great height. Apart from some scratches on his skin, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
Instead, the goblin fell to his death.
He really deserves to be the protagonist!
While Dui breathed a sigh of relief, he could only sigh in his heart.
If it were an ordinary person, he would have fallen to his death, just like the goblin that fell with him.
But it just happened that nothing happened to them.
After making sure Bilbo was fine, Dewi stuffed the crystal ball back into his leather bag and hurried to catch up with Gandalf.
He thought that if he remembered correctly, Bilbo was about to encounter his destined One Ring, thus officially starting the prelude to the destruction of the Dark Lord Sauron.
Dewi had no intention of interfering with Bilbo's fate or trying to get the Ring first.
Apart from Hobbits like Bilbo who have ridiculously high magic resistance, even Gandalf, Galadriel and others dare not touch the One Ring easily. He does not think that he will be an exception and be able to withstand the dark erosion of the One Ring.
Perhaps once you put on the One Ring, you will become a slave of the Ring, or even become a being like the Ringwraiths.
So he kept his distance from the One Ring and didn't want to touch it at all.
Gandalf and Due finally arrived at a cave in the mountain.
This place looks like an underground world, with intricate passages and connected caves, like a huge and complex underground maze.
The cave was dim, and Thorin and his group were brought before the Goblin King.
The Goblin King is different from other goblins. It has an extremely tall body and a huge head, almost three meters tall, and holds a sheep-head wooden staff in its hand.
Compared to other goblins, the Goblin King is more cunning, evil, cruel, and intelligent.
After capturing the dwarves, they interrogated them about their purpose of coming here. After seeing some elven items stolen by the dwarves among the confiscated items, they even suspected that they were sent by the elves.
When he discovered that Thorin's sword, Beast Bite, had killed many goblins, he angrily ordered his men to kill them all.
Chapter 72 The Power of Mandrake
In the distance, two people who were hiding with the Disillusionment Spell happened to see this scene.
Dewi whispered to Gandalf beside him, "Gandalf, do you want to take action?"
Gandalf shook his head slightly: "Wait a moment."
At the same time, the Goblin King also said this.
The Goblin King recognized Thorin's identity, and after mocking Thorin's misfortune, he ordered his men to send a message to Azog, King of the Orcs, to exchange Thorin for Azog's reward.
"Now!" Gandalf jumped directly in front of the goblin and cast a powerful magic shock wave, instantly overturning the goblin cave.
Countless goblins, including the Goblin King, were blown away by the shock wave.
Gandalf appeared before the dwarves like a savior, "Grab your weapons and run!"
There were tens of thousands of goblins in the cave. Although Gandalf had dealt with a group of them, they continued to pour in from all directions.
The group ran while dealing with the goblins that blocked their way, and also had to shake off the enemies that were chasing them madly from behind.
At this moment, the fallen Goblin King suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and his huge body blocked the way forward.
"Do you think you can escape? Don't even think about it!" The Goblin King waved a big stick angrily, his face ferocious and cruel.
Dense swarms of goblins surrounded them from all directions, blocking all the roads.
Everyone was suddenly in dire straits.
"Gandalf, what should we do?" The dwarf Balin placed his only hope on Gandalf.
Gandalf's face was calm, and he even smiled.
"Don't worry, we have helpers!"
"All petrified!"
The next second, a dazzling magic struck the Goblin King from behind.
The Goblin King's face was ferocious, his movements and expressions were instantly frozen, leaving only a pair of eyes showing fear and anxiety.
Dui appeared behind the Goblin King, drew out the flaming sword, and stabbed it into the Goblin King's lower back, releasing a scorching flame that instantly burned all of the Goblin King's internal organs to ashes.
As soon as the Goblin King died, the surrounding goblins fell silent for a moment, but then became angry.
"He killed the king! That wizard killed the king! We must avenge the king!"
All the goblins were frantic and restless, full of murderous intent and madness, and they attacked Dui and the others in overwhelming numbers.
"Protect everyone!" A circular barrier protected everyone and blocked the goblins outside.
The goblins attacked the magic barrier frantically, lying densely on the barrier, forming an impenetrable wall of flesh.
Seeing the goblins around unable to attack, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
However, seeing more and more goblins around, the dwarves became worried again.
"Duyle, what should we do now? They can't get in, but we can't get out either."
"Don't worry, I have a solution."
Dui soothed.
Then he took out a pot of mandrake from the leather bag.
Since the Mandrake matured, Dui has regularly bound it with a petrification spell to prevent it from making fatal sounds.
Now that he has learned the soundproofing spell from the spell book, it can finally be put to use.
Dui first cast several layers of soundproofing spells on himself and his companions, and then removed the petrification spell on the mandrake, grabbed the roots of the mandrake, and pulled hard.
The mandrake, which had accumulated resentment for so long, immediately vented its emotions wildly as soon as the spell was lifted, twisting its ugly body and making a shrill, sharp cry.
Even those protected by the soundproofing spell heard a piercing sound and couldn't help but cover their ears.
The goblins outside, on the other hand, were directly hit hard by the crying of the mandrake.
Under the attack of the deadly magic sound, the goblins at close range died instantly, and the goblins at further distance fell unconscious directly, falling into the abyss below like dumplings, and were smashed into meat paste.
The goblin cave suddenly became quiet, and there was no goblin standing.
Dui waved his wand and swept the goblin corpses piled around him into the abyss, then cast a petrification spell on the still crying Mandrake, making it quiet down again.
This finally broke the soundproofing spell on everyone.
"Okay, it's safe now."
The dwarves looked at the goblin corpses everywhere in shock, and then looked at the humanoid plant in Dui's hand with awe on their faces.
The power of this plant is simply terrifying!
"Oh my God, what on earth is this thing? Its sound actually killed so many goblins!" The dwarf Balin was stunned.
"Its voice is so terrifying! I could hear it even through the magic. It was like the voice of a female ghost. I felt so light and airy, as if my soul was about to be drawn out!" Philip said with a lingering fear on his face, "I can't imagine what it would be like to really hear its voice!"
"If you really heard it, you will end up like those goblins." Balin rolled his eyes at him in annoyance.
"Since this thing makes such a loud noise, when we get to Lonely Mountain, why don't we just throw it at the dragon and kill it right away?" The youngest dwarf, Qili, excitedly proposed the idea.
Hearing Qili's idea, all the dwarves' eyes suddenly lit up, and they looked at the mandrake in Dui's hand with burning eyes.
Thorin was even more hopeful. If he could really get rid of the dragon in this way, he wouldn't have to look for the Arkenstone to summon the dwarves, and he could directly take back the Lonely Mountain.
But the next moment, Gandalf gave a negative answer.
Gandalf was also very surprised at the power of the Mandrake's voice, but he still shook his head.
"The sound of this mandrake cultivated by Duil contains magical power that can strike a heavy blow to the soul and is fatal to most creatures."
"But a powerful creature like the dragon Smaug has an extremely strong and solid soul. Even the sound of the mandrake cannot kill him. At most, it can only seriously injure him, and that only when he is off guard."
Gandalf's words were convincing.
The dwarves were disappointed after hearing this, and Thorin even withdrew his gaze from the mandrake.
