120 Lurking
There is a cliff under your feet, and under the cliff is a vast abyss that cannot be seen at first glance.
There are wooden bridges hovering in the abyss, dense figures of orcs shuttle through the bridges, walking into countless caves all over the abyss cliffs.
It is not dark here, but is filled with a lot of fire.
The firelight came from the countless caves, and it was not until the deepest part where he could not see became more and more hazy.
Obviously, unlike what Charles imagined before coming, this place is not dark.
The nearest cave is actually right next to you, a shaking wooden suspension bridge connecting the cliff and the cave. Looking around, ugly, hideous, short figures can be clearly seen.
Those were orcs, busy in the space inside the cave, drowning in the corners that Shire could not see.
Shire narrowed his eyes.
Everything around him looked like the dwarf city-state Nogrod he had seen in the blue mountains in the past.
However, that hollow city-state cannot be compared with the scale here.
Looking down, the fire that could not be seen at the end was shocking.
Looking up, the above of my head was shrouded in hazy darkness, as if it was the top of the rock, and it seemed that something was covered by darkness.
Charles did not stay at the cliff at the end of the fortress, because there were often patrols by the Beast soldiers.
He just took a few glances and hurriedly left the place along the nearest suspension bridge.
Then he entered a nearby cave without hesitation, and arrived in a secluded and dark hall.
Relying on the dark, mossy wall, he began to think about what he should do next.
This place is very huge, and the scene I just saw even made Charles feel like he had nowhere to start.
But then he adjusted his mindset and had a preliminary idea.
After looking at the surrounding environment, Charles continued to walk towards the depths of the cave.
Although there are thousands of caves outside, after walking into it, I don’t feel any narrow-mindedness here, but the space is very large.
Tunnel, dark cave, messy hall, dense orc teams...
Keep moving forward here, constantly looking at everything around him, and finally, he came to a dark underground world filled with stalactites.
This may be a natural underground cave that Angban has not yet opened. The landform is primitive and some underground luminous plants are growing.
However, although it is not developed, there are also many orcs.
Looking away, some scattered dwarfs were busy collecting the fungi plants that were stained with darkness and turned black and red in the dim environment.
"This was discovered first by Tietou!"
"The elf curses you! You stepped on Black Tooth's feet!"
"Don't try to steal my mushrooms, or I'll kill you!"
“…”
The roaring sounds came into his ears as he continued to move forward, which were from the mouths of these orcs around him.
The orcs are not completely barbaric creatures. Although they have low IQ, they can communicate.
However, they did not have their own language, so they "plagiarized" the elf's Xinda language. Although it sounded full of strange accents, they could barely understand it.
This also facilitated Charles and made him more confident in his purpose.
So, when a relatively tall orc with brown and black skin and wearing tattered clothes crawled into a narrow cave with a basket on his back, the invisible Charles followed closely.
The surroundings were already very remote, and there were no other Oaks, so no orcs noticed them. In this cave, there was a faint sound of whimpering sound.
At first, the sound was quite obvious, with ambiguous terror, but gradually became weaker and eventually disappeared completely.
A hazy conversation rang out, filled with fear, but it was strange that it was always asked and answered, very honest.
However, although the orcs are not beasts, the simple mind obviously does not have much valuable memories.
So until the end, Charles still gained nothing. However, this did not affect his next action.
A short scream suddenly appeared, but it converged instantly.
After a while, a half-orc with a hunched back walked out of the cave in the corner of this place. His clothes were messy and dirty, his nose was sharp and his buck teeth were raised.
It looks exactly the same as the one I entered before, but the brown-red eyes were flashing, but they looked calm and clear.
He began to return to his original position, mingled with other orcs, and continued to collect the blackened fungus plants.
When a sharp whistle sounded from the outermost part of the cave here, the orcs disguised by Charles successfully mixed into this unique group with other orcs.
The invisible cloak lasts for a long time, but it cannot be maintained permanently. Every time, it needs to be "recharged".
So Shire couldn't keep himself invisible all the time.
At the same time, his shadow ability cannot be used for a long time, which will make him fall into deep fatigue.
So he was going to get in for the time being, and then learn about the details of Angban and the rules of survival.
Otherwise, if you act rashly, you will not say whether you can find Eor successfully. If you touch certain taboos and make the Demon Shadow notice that someone has entered, it would be awful.
There are dangers everywhere around you, and if you are not careful, you may fail, so Charles must give himself sufficient patience.
However, what he did not expect was that on the first day he got into the orc team, he had a very special gain.
Carrying a basket filled with mushrooms, Shire was standing behind the orcs, looking at the pile of mushrooms at the end of the line, and the group of orcs wandering around the hanging pot in the other direction of the hall.
"Is this...refining medicine?"
He was surprised at this and never expected that the pharmacy would be passed on here.
But it was nothing unexpected to think about it. Although the encirclement of the Nodo tribe was still maintained, Morgoth's minions were not all bound by the elves, and many of them were lurking among the elves.
But what surprised him even more was that it seemed that the refining of the medicines being carried out here seemed to have been improved to a certain extent?
Because the distance is very far and the surrounding light is not very sufficient, Charles does not see clearly.
But with the plants he collected and the special environment of Angban, he was sure that the potion that appeared here would not be the recipes that were prescribed by his hands.
Due to the current era, pharmacy cannot be popular everywhere. It is subject to local vegetation.
When he was in Gondolin, Charles felt that the medicinal materials were rare in that area, so when the fat elf named Salgant ran to visit and wanted to learn, Charles would refuse.
Because he knew that the other party would not learn deeply even after learning.
Relatively speaking, the Angban under your feet is definitely more inappropriate than Gondolin.
However, I didn't expect that now...
Looking at the existence of the existence of waving a crutch at the end of his sight, Shire narrowed his eyes.
Although he didn't want to make trouble, he had a desire to try it out at this time.
"Kill him if you have the chance." This thought flashed through him.
When the team reached Shire, he imitated other orcs and dumped all the mushrooms in the basket.
Because he had not paid much attention to this matter before, the number of handed over was relatively small, which also caused the fat orc supervisor to roar at him.
Fortunately, this guy didn't spit out, otherwise Charles wouldn't dare to confirm whether he could tolerate it.
After enduring the strong bad breath of the orcs, he finally "lucky" to escape (the fat supervisor said he was lucky because he was in a good mood today), and then mixed in the main force to go to the place where he could eat together.
But before they could really leave the hall, a dull horn sound suddenly came from all directions.
After the whimpering sound, the orcs around him couldn't help but make a commotion.
Then, all the orcs, whether they were minions or those higher-level refining supervisors, ran towards the exit.
There were too many people, and the situation was a little confused for a moment. Charles, who was quite confused, was unconsciously led forward.
