Chapter 128 The First Wonder: The Mysterious Tower
"Infuse the materials with magic."
With the sunlight coming in, Levi looked at the page of notes and scratched his head.
There was a little inspiration flashing in my mind, but it seemed like there was a layer of membrane between them and I could never break through.
It was like I was doing something just now, but when I turned around, I suddenly forgot everything. The feeling was so unbearable that I was in between death and being neither here nor there.
I understand, but only a little bit.
"The truth cannot be understood by casual observation."
Suddenly a voice sounded from behind.
Saruman.
"Our guests seem to be a bit rude. Those are my personal belongings."
He snatched the notebook from Levi's hand and slammed it on the table.
“It’s really hard to understand.”
Levi admitted this.
"hehe."
Saruman sneered and said:
"Wisdom is not something everyone has. Forcing yourself to read something you don't understand will only damage your mind. I suggest you go to the lower level and read storybooks. That will broaden your horizons."
"Perhaps you are right."
Levi shrugged and said, "So what does Saruman think of this research on the table?"
"I have nothing to say to you. That's not something you should get involved in."
Saruman sat down, picked up a small lens on the table and observed the ore in front of him.
"If you have nothing else to ask, please leave. As you can see, I am not idle."
Levi ignored Saruman's open and hidden sarcasm. At this moment, his attention was completely attracted by the thing in his hand.
"What's that in your hand?"
"I don't have to tell you."
"That's a shame. I was hoping to find someone to share my secret medicine with..."
"This is a small prop I use to study materials."
Saruman looked up and said, "With this lens, you can observe the texture of metal or other things more clearly, which will help you understand their nature."
"Can I see it?"
"certainly."
Levi took the lens.
Somewhat familiar, but not sure.
He raised the lens and looked at Saruman.
All I saw was a gloomy old face.
Levi seriously shifted his gaze and looked at the water cup beside him, especially the water inside. He looked at the reflection of the room in the dim light, thinking about its soft and hard nature.
A little enlightenment arose in my mind.
“Water, when hard, can collapse mountains and shatter rocks, but when soft, it can gently curl around your fingers.”
"This element exists in water and in all objects containing water. It is the source of life."
——《Elements Memorization Skills》
A little knowledge about "water" floated into Levi's mind and was absorbed by him.
A prompt popped up:
【Obtain knowledge point of "water" element*1】
There are a few more items in the crafting table.
Click.
The small lens was placed on the table by Levi.
"What do you see?"
"I sensed the wisdom of 'water'."
A smile appeared on Levi's lips.
A crude and uncouth man who puts on airs.
Saruman sneered in his heart.
"This is for you."
Levi threw out a bottle of night vision potion and said, "It's too dark in your tower. This will help you see more clearly."
"A potion that allows you to see through the darkness and see the outlines of things?"
Saruman took it, looked at it, and put it aside.
This effect is not rare, he can achieve it with some tricks, but there are indeed some magical elements in it, and it has certain research value.
It can barely be considered an acceptable fee for consulting.
"Then I'll take it. Thank you for your generosity."
There is no change in reputation value.
I didn't pay attention to this little detail.
Levi waved his hand and left Saruman's laboratory, feeling a little excited.
Elements!
That is the hallmark of the occult.
New modules unlocked! A 'mysterious age' is coming.
No time was wasted.
The next day, Levi mounted his horse early in the morning, said goodbye to his servants, and left.
Go straight back to the roadside fort.
On this day, residents were living their lives as usual. Farmers were working on the fields, miners were sitting on the mine carts feeling the power, people holding fishing rods were sitting in groups of three or four by the river looking forward to the next catch, and groups of residents were gathering around an open space, discussing what kind of house to build.
Everything is going on as normal.
Until Levi appeared in an open space outside the city wall with a backpack of building materials.
Then, a large jagged circle was paved with stones on the open space, and then the building was built upwards along the circle.
In this way, an extremely huge tower foundation was built.
Yes, that's the tower.
A giant fortress tower whose diameter is several times longer than the castle when viewed from above.
Sauron has Barad-dur and Saruman has Orthanc, both of which are extremely solid fortress-type towers, both magnificent and practical.
When he had nothing to do before, Levi didn’t have any ideas.
But now...after all, the mysterious era has come out.
What's the point of playing magic without a wizard tower? Levi also wants to have his own tower.
A huge project thus began.
During this month, residents would climb up the city wall whenever they had free time and gaze at the huge building gradually growing taller by the lake.
“Oh my god…”
It was the first time for most residents to see Levi build something with his own hands.
They thought that with the blessing of the lord's magic, it would be quite fast for three or five people to build a tall, big and beautiful house in just a few days.
But I didn’t expect that there is always someone stronger among the strong. The source of that great magic - the lord of Roadside Castle: Levi, he took action himself, and one person could match everyone in the territory!
Just take a nap, or do something else for a while, if you are not paying attention, the heavy and huge foundation of the tower will rise a lot visibly, almost flying up.
"That tall grey tower, before the season had even passed, had grown from a foundation into a gigantic structure that could penetrate the clouds, leaving passers-by with nothing to do but look up, unable to see the end."
Some residents took up paper and pen to write down the incident.
"And all this was done by our lord alone. Even the residents in the city who know the most about building houses did not dare to volunteer to help in this matter."
"We finally know how the roadside fort was built when this land was still barren. It must have been a feat that would have made people in the surrounding towns stare with astonishment."
"——Written in the autumn of 2942."
Falling leaves bring news.
The territory remained peaceful this year, and nothing major happened, except for the sudden appearance of the fortress-like tower.
When the caravan of Roadside Fort set out with various specialties and carts of fine wine, it still had only a foundation.
By the time the caravan had traveled around various areas and returned to the roadside fort, the top of the tower had been completed.
The autumn wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness.
On the top of the tower, looking at the tiny things below him, and then at the clouds that were within reach on one side, Levi opened his arms and took a deep breath.
Now that the venue construction is complete, it’s time to get down to business.
Whoosh——
The next moment, Levi jumped down, put on his elytra, and slowly circled down until he reached the entrance stairs of the tower at the bottom.
The little pinkie who was chewing the grass on the grass nearby saw his owner landing, and ran over and rubbed his head against Levi's trouser leg.
Those eyes were full of longing for the sky.
Levi touched the faucet and looked at the small bald patch of grass next to him, and fell silent for a while.
“…You should eat less of that stuff in the future.”
