Chapter 188 Sleep
As Levi said, people have a lot of time to live freely, at least for the time being in the northern part of Middle-earth away from Mordor.
It was a sunny day, and the road builders were working in the Misty Mountains with a clanging sound. The winding entrances to the Orc Town were sealed one by one and repaired into smooth roads and walls.
A huge, unprecedented tunnel through the mountain is being excavated. Its scale and space are even larger than the grand hall of Lonely Mountain. Many dwarves will come to take a look when they pass by, with feelings of trepidation, joy, and some complex emotions mixed with emotion.
"Fortunately it's just a road... a passage."
Some dwarves went back grumbling.
But maybe this isn’t quite right.
Click.
Lanterns are either hung on the walls or flickering on the dome, emitting their light and heat.
However, this space is too large, and relying solely on lanterns or torches for lighting is obviously not enough.
So the dwarves' experience came in handy - some of their ancient buildings were even larger than this, but the interior spaces were extremely bright.
This is because they have a technology that can mix luminous stones with building materials, so that when necessary, they can make the hall glow from top to bottom, from the dome to the floor, without having to worry about lighting issues.
Glowing materials or light wells - dwarves always have many ways to solve problems encountered underground.
According to some older dwarves with more knowledge, there are places in Moria where the sunlight is sufficient to grow crops. This meant that when the exits of Moria had to be closed when resisting Sauron's attack thousands of years ago, the dwarves were still able to achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency through their own agricultural system.
There is always a solution to every problem.
Thanks to the dwarves' advanced craftsmanship, Levi also breathed a sigh of relief.
If he really can't find a solution to tunnel lighting, he plans to go to hell and dig up hundreds of boxes of glowstone.
Of course, that's just talk, but if you really do that it can easily get you killed.
Roadside fort.
There are a few clouds floating across the blue sky.
The sunshine in this season is not as strong. It is not as golden as in summer and autumn, nor is it as pale as when winter officially begins due to the thick snow.
It's just bright - and translucent.
Boom.
The city gate suddenly opened and a loud noise was heard.
On the Maolong tree, Xiaofen turned over in boredom, shifting his gaze away from the dazzling glowing ball in the sky, blinked, and looked towards the source of the noise at the city gate.
Upon seeing this, the whole dragon stopped moving.
Is it because I have been looking at the sun for too long that my eyes are blurry? This question popped up in my little head.
It was not until the figure waved his hand to disperse the residents surrounding him and walked a long way towards the castle that Little Pink was startled and happily jumped down from the Maolong tree, spread his wings and glided down, right into Levi's arms.
Ding! The faucet hits with a clanging sound.
"You really don't feel any pain."
Levi gritted his teeth and rubbed the dragon's head twice, sent it aside to play, and then touched his breastplate twice.
This long-distance dive almost caused him to lose blood.
If it weren't for the knockback resistance, I might have been sent flying.
After this outing, Xiaofen has grown a lot. In terms of size, he is several times bigger than his playmate, the big yellow dog.
Almost as big as a pig.
Of course, growing up is definitely a good thing.
But the nature of some things will change as they grow up.
Just like throwing yourself into someone's arms and acting like a spoiled child, when you were a kid, you could call it acting like a spoiled child...
When it grows up, it will be called a dragon car.
The light of the beacon was still shining, reaching straight into the sky. Feeling the active vitality in his body, Levi pushed open the castle door that had been unmoved for a long time, walked in on the wool carpet, and lay down casually on the simple seat in front of the beacon.
There was none of the manners and dignity that a lord should have.
A picture of salted fish.
Without going to bed, or even at night, Levi just leaned on the not very comfortable throne of the castle, listening to the hustle and bustle outside. He slowly closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually became steady.
At the outer wall of the castle, Xiaofen glanced in the direction of the hall, with a much smaller movement.
It silently leaned against the wall and narrowed its eyes.
Early the next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the city came alive.
Groups of residents went to work as usual after breakfast. While doing their own work, they chatted about this and that, looking quite relaxed.
The housewife at home was thinking about today's menu while watching her neatly dressed children walking to school with their school supplies.
The sound of orderly footsteps and training could be heard from the newly built training ground. Several vagrants stood at the side of the army, discussing something. After a while, they dispersed and interspersed among the soldiers to give them instructions one by one.
Upon hearing that the lord had returned, the original community representative, Old Wade, came to the castle gate with some information, and with him was Taber, the first principal of Roadside Castle.
But just as the two of them reached the gate, a figure suddenly blocked the road and refused to let them go forward.
The two old men felt helpless as they looked at the little dragon standing motionless in front of them.
"We are here to deliver some information to the Lord. It is a summary of the development of various matters in Roadside Castle during this period."
Since they had little contact with Xiaofen, the two didn't know whether it could understand what they were saying, but regardless of whether it could understand or not, the necessary explanations still had to be made.
But obviously, at Xiaofen's current age, it still doesn't understand much except eating.
It instinctively wanted to bark to alert the two people, but after thinking about it, the only word in its vocabulary was dog barking.
Levi told it to stop calling him that, so it never called him that again.
So Xiaofen shook her head.
Vader and Taber looked at each other and nodded at it.
Xiaofen continued to shake her head.
The two continued to nod, trying to make Xiaofen understand what they meant.
In a very strange atmosphere, the two men and the dragon were stuck in a stalemate.
"Are you guys playing the nod and shake game?"
Click.
The castle gate opened, and Levi walked out stretching. The first thing he saw was two old men on the side of the road staring at Little Pink.
This… I haven’t been back for a while. Has the Roadside Castle developed some new customs? “No, sir, we are here to deliver information.”
Wade's old face turned red, and he quickly handed over the document in his hand.
During this period, the old village chief also learned to write in school, so he no longer had to force himself to remember everything.
Seeing that Levi had woken up, the little pinkie's head drooped for a moment, but he recovered the next second and ran straight to the cafeteria.
Levi glanced at it but didn't stop it.
It seems like the child hasn't eaten for several hours at least. I hope he doesn't starve.
"Okay, I'll take a look."
The information was received in the backpack.
Even though there has been no care taken for nearly a year, there are very few things that Lubianbao needs to deal with and worry about, which is quite worry-free.
Especially when there is a comparison - the little information that Wade handed over cannot be considered work compared to the amount in River Valley City.
