Chapter 626
Chapter 626: Chapter 560 Intelligence Chapter 626: Chapter 560 Intelligence “Is this Loslorien…”
Frodo and Sam, gazing at the beauty of the Golden Forest, both showed a look of intoxication on their faces.
Frodo’s uncle Bilbo was an adventurer, and he too had the spirit of discovery and adventure in his bones; the scenery of Loslorien could be said to have satisfied all his expectations for “adventure.”
Later, as the lord of Loslorien, Celeborn himself came out to welcome them.
He didn’t normally like Dwarves, but with his wife accompanying him this time, and with his old friend Gandalf present, he naturally tolerated them.
“Welcome to Loslorien.”
Celeborn’s appearance was very handsome, and time had not left the slightest mark on him.
Because the lord personally came to welcome them, the members of the Fellowship of the Ring naturally behaved very politely.
Most of them, like Aragorn, were the second generation of various forces, and they all managed this quite well.
Even rugged types like Ai and Kirabi showed the proper etiquette.
Only Tao Yu, while responding to Celeborn and Saruman emerging together, also frowned slightly.
He had come into contact with The One Ring and was very familiar with its aura.
Additionally, with the feedback from his Divination Ability.
For some reason, he felt that there were some similar auras on Celeborn that were reminiscent of Saruman.

Or perhaps there was a hint of the aura of The One Ring…
Had Lord Celeborn come into contact with Sauron?
Or with a palantir?
Tao Yu had no particular impression of Lord Celeborn; after all, his wife all but outshined him.
But as far as resisting dark forces was concerned, Celeborn’s stance should have been beyond reproach.
Originally, after Galadriel had gone to Aman State, he chose to remain in his own lands for a long time before leaving.
“Is this due to the issues that arose from the changes in the world…”
Since Saruman still held an image of righteous splendor, Tao Yu also had a strong capacity to accept these divergent changes.
The Dreadlord could come out, and now if you told me that the Burning Legion was invading Middle-earth, Tao Yu wouldn’t have found it strange at all.
“Everyone can rest well here, and I will accompany you on the road ahead.”
Saruman also spoke with an inscrutable expression, then seemed to remember something, and inquired,
“By the way, previously a section of the mountain was breached by a powerful force.
Do you know what happened?”
Saruman scanned the crowd, his gaze eventually lingering on Galadriel and Tao Yu.
After beginning to recall more, he was quite familiar with Gandalf’s presence and ruled him out.
“We encountered a Flame Demon, and during the fight, a troublesome fellow lurking in the shadows emerged.
The Flame Demon was probably lured out by him…”
Tao Yu did not directly answer about the damage caused.
In terms of sheer destructive power, that strike was supermodel scary for Tao Yu.
If not used within an Innate Barrier, his control would be even worse, and it was not something to use normally.
Now, all he could do was act a bit mysterious and then draw out some new information.
“Oh?
What was the situation?”
Saruman appeared all ears, keen to learn more.
Although he had made contact with Sauron and even encountered a Pioneer, Saruman had always been acting for himself!
“It was a Dreadlord, from a universally infamous ‘Burning Legion’ filled with all sorts of demons and fel energy, a legion that has destroyed many worlds.”
Tao Yu had not had the chance to perform Dream Spirit Contact with the Dreadlord Tinavis, but mentioning some basic information was more than sufficient.
“Destroyed many worlds…
Is this the power of the Abyss?”
“To some extent, it could be considered as such.”
Tao Yu nodded; there was no doubt the Burning Legion was extremely aligned with the Abyss and might even receive a boost from it!
“So, his appearance here, is it because he covets our world?”
Saruman frowned, for his desire was to dominate Middle-earth with the Magic Ring.
Anything standing in his way was an obstruction!
Now his plans were not even complete, and something else was already interfering.
And by the sound of the description, he knew this was a vexing issue.
Even because of the implications Tao Yu purposefully brought up, he once thought that the attack was created by that Dreadlord.
If such a vanguard who came to spy possessed this level of power,
this…
truly posed a tremendous threat!
Saruman also felt a sense of heaviness in his heart, even wavering.
“I’m not sure if it is, but in any case, it’s nothing good.
Using some special means, the Flame Demon and he probably met their ends together.”
Tao Yu wasn’t exactly lying; he had indeed captured both of them together.
Had it not been overly troublesome, they would not have broken through his Innate Barrier.
“Then I wonder just how powerful the Burning Legion is, and what level the Dreadlord previously encountered ranks within it.”
“I have little information about the Burning Legion, but if the World Will isn’t collapsing, it usually blocks powerful demons from entering.
The one before must have come in with the help of the Fortune Thief.
Maybe a middle-tier minion?
But I’m not entirely certain.”
Tao Yu wasn’t just making things up, and indeed this made both Saruman and Celeborn show a sense of urgency on their faces.
Time waits for no one, ah!
“The night is long and full of dreams, so let us set out now.”
Saruman spoke up at the moment, not even planning to let the Fellowship of the Ring rest.
And at this time, Celeborn also said to his wife,
“I will join and escort them as well.
I entrust the matters here to you for now.”
Galadriel looked deeply into her husband’s eyes and did not refuse.
Instead, her eyes carried a blue mist, seemingly engaging in some form of Clairvoyance,
“Be careful on your journey.
I sense you will face a crisis along the way, but if you overcome this trial, your mentality will also undergo a transformation.”
Tao Yu noticed as well, this Elven Lady who had also encountered the Magic Ring, probably had realized something.
However, she didn’t seem to directly intervene, perhaps also wishing to let this Lord experience a trial like hers and undergo a transformation.
“I will definitely pass this test,”
Celeborn declared resolutely.
Indeed, should he succeed this time, he would inevitably undergo a transformation!
Saruman wasn’t exactly a good character, but until the problem with Sauron was resolved, he would still need to rely on him somewhat…
…
Loslorien was only briefly stopped at to replenish some provisions, and after changing some members, the Fellowship of the Ring once again began their journey.
In the following days, both Saruman and Celeborn behaved normally and even avoided approaching Frodo, as though they were wary of the contamination of The One Ring.
This made Tao Yu feel a bit strange.
Could it be that his mention of the Burning Legion had provoked them?
He had been on guard all this time in vain.
If he didn’t wait for them to make a move and attacked first, it would probably provoke hostility from the other members of the Fellowship of the Ring.
After all, at the moment, except for Saruman blowing his cover, there was no way he could outjump him…
However, Tao Yu finally found an opportunity to engage in Dream Spirit Contact with the Dreadlord.
The demon’s soul was severely polluted, and the information was chaotic.
Although the pollution could not affect Tao Yu, the information was fragmented.
“His immediate superior is a native of Eredar named General Zaka…”
Although the information wasn’t complete, it was still somewhat useful.
Tao Yu discovered that the ‘Burning Legion’ seemed to be divided into several factions and might be directly connected to the Abyss during the invasion.
General Zaka was only a fairly ordinary little leader within the Burning Legion, commanding many demons and Hellfires, and was already invading a world adjacent to Middle-earth.
For the time being, it was not certain whether it was a world he knew of, but there were some traces of modern technology, and there was some resistance.
However, due to the ineffectiveness of nuclear weapons, conventional arms were quickly defeated by this force of the Burning Legion.

Tinavis was one of the commanders of this operation.
“Hmm?
Why is there no information about the League of Interceptors?
Has it been blocked?”
Tao Yu frowned slightly, but this might be related to the ‘Priest.’
He was uncertain of the time period the ‘Burning Legion’ was in now; based on what Tinavis knew, Sargeras was too far away to be aware of any intelligence.
Even Archimonde and Kil’jaeden, he knew little about and wasn’t sure if they had invaded Azeroth yet.
After all, even for the timeline of the ‘Burning Legion,’ it was incredibly long…
