Chapter 136 The echo resounded throughout the magnificent hall
. Snap.
Another stone was knocked down from the wall.
After helping his allies to renovate the passages in Moria, Levi finally found a relatively wide road that looked like it led to the eastern exit.
Gulp.
Another bottle of night vision potion was consumed.
On a flight of stairs going down, Levi looked up, his eyes gradually widened, and his breathing slowed down.
This is a truly huge, sprawling, and spacious hall, so large that you can't see the end of it at a glance.
Countless magnificent stone pillars over a hundred meters high stand neatly on the ground, connecting the sky and the earth, supporting this underground kingdom. Each of those magnificent stone pillars has been meticulously carved and engraved with dwarven-style carvings, which is an eye-opener.
This is Khazad-dûm, the wonder of Middle-earth, the great palace beneath the earth.
But soon, people will see new miracles outside.
Levi walked slowly in the hall - this long hall that seemed to have no end.
There was silence all around, and Levi gradually became lost and began to lose his direction.
I don’t know how long I walked or how many bottles of potion I drank. Suddenly, Levi turned his head and looked across the distant corridor to a place on the east side of the hall with a slightly different outline.
A door.
A large door with a metal frame.
Levi was a little excited to finally see something new. He ran over quickly and tried to push the door.
With a clang, the door didn't open, but just vibrated slightly, as if it was blocked by something from the inside.
This door is very hard and it would be difficult to break it open using normal methods.
But Levi wasn't normal.
He took out an axe and knocked down the door.
Crash.
As soon as he entered the door, Levi's foot touched something brittle, which scratched the ground and made a slight noise.
"This is…"
Levi squatted down.
The corpse of a dwarf, which had decayed to only bones, and the bones were so brittle that they could be broken into pieces, obviously it was quite old.
He was still wearing armor.
After placing the body of the unknown dwarf aside, Levi continued to explore inside.
Crunch.
A wooden box was opened and a thick layer of dust slid down from it, but the things inside were brand new and shiny.
"Gold and silver."
Another box opened.
It's a lot of jewelry.
There are a lot of boxes like this here.
Most people in this world would be very happy for a long time after seeing these things. After all, the treasures here are definitely enough for one person, or even an entire family for several generations to spend.
But as the boxes were opened one by one and the treasures inside came to light, Levi felt a little bored.
It's just some gold, silver and treasures.
Things like this, as Levi said before, would flood the roadside fort if all his wealth was released.
This little bit of gold and silver treasures was nothing to him, and there wasn't much space in his backpack, so he thought it was a waste of space to use it to carry these things.
So Levi closed the boxes, and as he continued to walk inside, whenever he came across a box or container, he would just open it to see what was inside, and then lose interest.
Until he reached the end of the room.
On a forging table, there were several silver-white objects stacked there, covered with dust.
Gently wipe off the dust, and the item's ID is marked.
"Mithril..."
The strongest, most beautiful, and rarest metal in the world.
It is whiter than silver, tougher than gold, and sparkler than diamond.
[Added "Mithril" series synthesis formula]
Mithril chain mail, Mithril leggings, Mithril boots, Mithril crown.
A four-piece set of Mithril equipment, with the same properties as Netherite, slightly stronger than Diamond, but without knockback protection.
"Well, all in all, netherite is better."
However, although the armor is a bit disappointing, you can use Mithril to forge a sword with a damage of up to 9 points, which is the same as the basic attributes of "Nemesis".
I can only say that it is worthy of being the strongest material in the world, and its high price is indeed justified.
There are a total of four pieces of mithril on this forge, just enough to make a mithril chain mail, which is worth the same as one charr.
This is much more valuable than everything else in this room combined.
Mithril
Long ago, when Mithril could still be produced stably, it could be exchanged for gold at a ratio of 1:10.
Later, with the fall of Moria, Mithril could no longer be mined, and its price continued to rise until it was no longer in circulation, and no matter how rich you were, you couldn't buy it.
After putting away these precious pieces of mithril, Levi continued to explore other places in the room. After making sure that there was nothing better, he put the door back in place and prepared to leave.
Just when one foot had already stepped out, Levi's eyes suddenly moved, and he found that there seemed to be something different on the body of the dwarf next to the gate, stuck in the sternum.
The thing was stuck very hidden, and I didn't see it when I moved it earlier because of the angle.
This…? "Sorry, may your soul rest in peace."
Muttering something, Levi reached in and took out the thing: a small silver axe, finely crafted and solid, with some difficult-to-understand symbols engraved on it.
“Could it be…”
Levi was a little unsure. After all, he had never seen it and didn't know what the symbols on it meant, but judging from the workmanship, it was indeed extraordinary.
I'd better take it out and show it to Thorin. Maybe he knows it.
After making the decision, he closed the door tightly and bolted it securely. Then Levi suddenly frowned.
Ding! An arrow hit the breastplate and bounced aside.
"roar!"
A strange cry came from a stone pillar. Levi looked in the direction of the sound and saw an oak with a hideous face full of tumors and almost indistinguishable facial features staring at him with wide eyes, sizing up this stranger he had never seen before.
When you receive a gift, of course you have to give something in return.
Levi also took out his bow and arrow and shot at the Oak's position.
Whoosh——
The Oak quickly moved to the side, but it was no use, he was still hit by the arrow.
If it was an arrow shot by someone else, it would be fine, just hitting the edge wouldn't be a big deal.
But this was shot by Levi.
As for the arrows he shot, once they were hit, there was no such thing as 'no damage'.
If you touch it, you hit it.
Crash!
Flames started burning on his body, and Oak couldn't stop wailing. While wailing, he desperately rubbed against the stone pillar, trying to put out the flames, but it was doomed to be in vain.
Soon, he fell from the stone pillar like a burnt branch with a thump.
That light and that sound were particularly eye-catching in this hall.
“I think this place would be perfect for a concert.”
Levi commented.
Boom! The sound of drums came from deep underground.
Boom! Boom! The sound imitated the rhythm of a heartbeat, one after another, and then approached.
Levi took two steps forward and looked into the distance.
At the end of the hall, there were dense outlines of living creatures pupating like crickets, pouring out from all directions, filling the space like ants. Those who could not stand on the ground climbed up the stone pillars, and those who could not climb down from the stone pillars hung from the dome.
Those hanging from the dome must have very strong arms.
After all, if you didn't have strong arms and still dared to play like this, you would have fallen to death long ago.
Oak.
An army of Orcs from deep beneath Moria.
A fierce army of hell.
"Okay, the audience is here."
Crash——
In the darkness, they stared at the intruders with their scarlet eyes.
Just as the Orcs were about to charge over and make the invader experience for himself the pain of having his crops eaten by the large swarms of locusts that passed through his territory, the man suddenly spoke with some polite words:
"Wait a minute, please wait a minute!"
Levi shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the hall. No one knew what magic had possessed them, but the orcs actually stopped unconsciously and stood there waiting for the human's subsequent words.
"You may not know me. After all, we have never met before. And this place, oh, I don't think it looks like it can receive news from the outside world..."
"But! I promise, everyone will recognize me soon, because——"
"You will soon be running around like cowardly dogs whose masters have died!"
Fleeing like a dog...
Fleeing everywhere...
Scattered...
The abominable voice echoed in the hall, from one end to the other, distant and long.
The scene was somewhat silent for a moment.
Something seemed to be brewing in the darkness, becoming increasingly hideous and terrifying, like a doomsday volcano about to erupt.
