Chapter 132: Tower Test-taker
Groups of people took the lifting platform and arrived at the construction front line.
On the side of the road, the first thing that catches the eye is the brilliant sea of trees reflecting golden light. This vast and beautiful scene dispels the fear of being at high altitudes that many people feel.
In the end, most people stayed, only a few scattered people felt dizzy when they looked down, shook their heads and retreated.
"I'm so sorry, I-I'm fine walking on the road, but once I get to the edge I can't even breathe..."
Some people who are afraid of heights left the construction front.
However, the rest of the people felt uneasy looking at the height, thinking that it must be very dangerous to work here.
Perhaps dwarves would be more suitable for this place, after all, there are many steep cliffs in the mountains.
Even though the sun cannot be seen where the dwarves live, there are many places that require high-altitude work.
After initially selecting a group of relatively reliable pavers, Project Director Bud began to arrange the specific construction plan.
During the construction, at least two people are required in a group, and they need to wear a "safety rope" on their bodies. One of the two people is responsible for watching the rope and maintaining stability, while the other one carries out the road repair work.
As one thing after another is established, the road continues to extend little by little.
There were mine transport cars sliding along the rails from Changhu Town and even River Valley City, bringing up batches of materials to maintain the smooth progress of the project.
As the road construction project progressed, the movement also alarmed Thorin who was in the mountains. He hurried to inquire about this matter, and Bard also told him Levi's plan.
"hiss--"
Several months after the expedition to Lonely Mountain, Thorin and Bard came to Long Lake Town side by side again. The two stood together and looked up at the magnificent Sky Road.
Thorin did not seem particularly surprised by this huge project that had suddenly begun, but rather seemed more amazed.
Dwarves have a considerable say in matters of architecture.
"I can see that your road pavers here are not very skilled."
Thorin looked at the workers who were still tentatively paving the road and shook his head.
"Yes, this is the first time for them to come to such a high place. No matter how high it was before, it would not be higher than the palace. This is a bit unexpected."
As Bard stated, Thorin's mouth curled up slightly.
"Perhaps it is high for you, Master Bud."
"But if you can go deep into the mountains or some deep pits, you will find that this height is nothing."
"We often work in places like this. The biggest difference between here and those canyons full of minerals is that it's just a little brighter."
The sky and the mountain dome, the green forest and the stone thorns and the underground undercurrents, these things are more dangerous than each other, and the latter is even more dangerous.
"The diligence and bravery of the dwarves are unmatched by any other race."
"Okay, okay."
Bud admitted that he was not well-informed. He said:
"So what does the King under the Mountain have to say about our project?"
Thorin smiled slightly.
“As allies helping each other, I cannot sit idly by and watch you continue to work in this inefficient way,” he said.
"The clumsy method you have come up with is just following our old path, but watching you groping in the dark along the path we have already walked is not the way of allies."
"Why not ask someone with more experience for advice?"
Thorin acted like an experienced person and stretched out his hand to pat Bard on the shoulder. However, because he was not tall enough, his hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air.
Bard obviously saw Thorin's embarrassment, and he naturally stretched out his hand and shook hands with Thorin.
Maybe next time we can sit down and talk about things…
Bud thought to himself.
That way Thorin would be able to reach him.
"Thank you very much, respected King Under the Mountain. I will remember this kindness."
Facing this arrogant king, Bard obviously knew what to do.
He had accumulated enough experience in his previous exchanges with Thranduil.
——When talking to this kind of person who likes to beat around the bush to help others but doesn't like to admit it, just go along with him.
Thorin was obviously quite pleased with Bard's respectful and humble attitude.
He said, "You're welcome. After all, I'm not here specifically for this matter."
This sentence always sounds familiar, as if I have heard it somewhere.
Bud hesitated.
"I will arrange for the most hardworking dwarves in Erebor to help you adapt to this project, and by the way, let you see how we usually work."
With just a few words, a technical assistance discussion is completed.
Following this topic, the two discussed for a while about cooperation in food, including various meats and wines, as well as the various specialties of River Valley City or Long Lake Town.
After discussing these things, Thorin suddenly asked: "Where is Levi?"
This project doesn't look like it has been going on for a long time, but who initiated it?
"Levi has returned to the border fort. He said he has collected enough 'Vis' and is going to study something now."
"It sounds like our old friend has taken up the wizarding trade."
"Yes, he is a bit like a wizard, and sometimes what he says is even more mysterious than those wizards."
mystery--
It is indeed mysterious.
After making sure that the project could proceed smoothly, Levi hurried back home and began his follow-up research.
At this moment, all types of elements have been unlocked, and a lot of knowledge points have been accumulated. It is time to study the unknown knowledge.
Holding a pen and ink in his hand, Levi opened the magic manual, flipped open the cover, and looked up the knowledge recorded on it.
Chapter 1: Basics.
Basic studies, as the name suggests, records the basic common sense of mysticism.
There is very little to study in this chapter, most of which is an introduction to various common occult things and materials.
Only those involving specific methods need to be studied.
For example, 'Nodes in a Jar' is a magic trick that allows you to put nodes into a jar and take them away. Its research involves five elements and 13 connection steps.
"The familiar feeling is back, all back..."
Levi sighed and copied down the first research notes with pen and ink.
The study of mysticism is more of a puzzle game than a study. It only requires connecting two or more elements at the starting point and the end point - using elements related to them.
For example, to connect "water" and "earth", we need to put a "life" element in the middle, because life is composed of water and earth.
Only elements that are close like this can be connected.
After the connection is successful, the copied notes will become a well-researched note. By using the notes, you can learn the corresponding knowledge.
If the connection fails, then the note will be useless and you will have to copy it again and study it again.
Research is always simple at the beginning and can be completed in a few steps.
The further you go, the more elements need to be connected, and the more complicated the problem-solving steps become, often causing you to get stuck and have a headache.
In the past, Li Wei was more accustomed to using some special tools or websites to calculate the best connection combination, or at worst he could copy other people's answers.
But now, he doesn’t have those tools to use and he has to rely on himself for everything.
Fortunately, this kind of puzzle game is quite simple and can be understood with a little brainpower. Besides, Levi has collected enough elements during this period of time, so it doesn’t matter if he wastes some. He can just start over.
Thus, Gaota's problem-solving journey began.
