Chapter 211 Request
"That's a shame."
In the end, the crystal of true knowledge remaining in the royal city of Gondor was still not available to Levi.
——Because the crystal stone belongs only to the King of Gondor, and only the King can decide how to deal with it.
And at this moment, Gondor is kingless.
"This place is the closest to Mordor. We can use the Crystal of True Knowledge to directly explore the interior of Mordor."
"Sauron has been a little too quiet in the past two years. I suspect he is secretly planning something bad."
Levi expressed his little concern.
"Don't worry about that. We will keep an eye on it for you and send someone to notify you as soon as there is any news."
Thus answered Turgon.
"In that case, I have nothing more to say."
Waving his hand, Levi turned around and prepared to leave.
Ecthelion took a few steps forward, chased Levi out of the palace, and escorted him all the way out.
Turgon looked at the figure, his eyes revealing a variety of complex emotions.
Beside him, Denethor, who had only been watching from beginning to end and had no chance to say a word, lowered his head without blinking.
It was the first time he learned the name of the "big enemy" that his father and grandfather had been talking about all day.
Sauron.
At the same time, another thing was also kept in mind by the boy.
Crystal of true knowledge.
Sauron and the Stone of Truth, these two things seem to be able to defeat the invincible Levi.
The name that cannot be recited and the items that cannot be used...
Really? A strong desire to win burst out in his heart, and the young Denethor raised his head proudly and watched the figure at the palace gate go away.
Turgon patted him on the shoulder and couldn't help nodding.
"The men of Gondor should be so proud."
Gondor remained strong at this time, just like its ruler.
Baicheng residential area.
Ecselion and Levi were strolling leisurely on the street, like two ordinary passers-by.
"That's enough. No need to send me off any further. I'm going to meet a friend and then go back."
"friend?"
Ecthelion was a little curious and asked, "Are they from Gondor?"
"Yes, you may know him. He is Kane, the captain of the Ithilien commando sent to the south. I agreed to meet him here to say hello before leaving."
As they talked, the two of them walked to a pub and stood at the door.
At this time, people passing by also stopped. No matter if they wanted to go in or out of the pub, when they saw the two people at the door, they immediately felt that there was no need to go through this door.
The most excited person among them was the tavern owner.
God - the prime minister's son and that legendary figure are visiting my tavern together, and this must be publicized.
"I do know him. In fact, I know him very well. I personally recruited Kane into the army and appointed him as the captain."
Ecthelion smiled and said, "Look, here he comes."
When Ecselion, Levi and Kane walked into the tavern together, all the noise disappeared immediately, as if the pause button was pressed, leaving only the sound of cutlery and wine glasses hitting the table.
"My Lord, you..."
The tavern owner immediately came over to entertain them attentively.
Eccelian waved his hand and said, "I am just an ordinary guest. Don't worry too much. Just do what you did before."
"yes."
Putting aside all the cumbersome etiquette, Kane was not surprised by the situation before him.
It looked like Levi's meeting with the chancellor went well - wasn't that how it should be?
Who would be so ignorant as to cause trouble for him?
Not long after the three of them sat down, simple bread, barbecue, beer and some fruits and vegetables were served. No one was picky about food, and with Levi around, no one, regardless of their status, could put on airs, so they ate and drank as they pleased, in quite a harmonious atmosphere.
"Being with you is a kind of magic. I always feel that when I am around you, everyone's identity and status disappears, and only ourselves are left."
Ecselion took a bite of the bread, then drank the beer on the table generously, wiped the foam from the corner of his mouth, thought for a while, and for the sake of maintaining the image of the royal family, he held back the burp that was about to come out.
"We are ourselves." Levi responded.
While eating, he started talking and began to talk about his territory.
"The rangers at Roadside Castle are still waiting for me to review them. According to the time, the road should be repaired soon. I need to do the final handover myself."
"To be honest, I have some doubts about whether they can do a good job of connecting the roads, but it doesn't matter. At worst, they can just demolish and rebuild. It won't be much work anyway..."
"The legendary Northern Sky Road?" Eccelian extracted some key words.
"That's right. It connects the east and west. You can all come and take a look if you have a chance. The trade industry in the north has developed quite well in recent years. There must be something you like there."
"That's great, congratulations."
“May this scene last forever.”
Ecselion and Kane both sent their blessings, but chose not to respond to Levi's invitation.
It's not that I don't want to go, but I can't go...
Over the past hundred years, even when the enemy's attack was the least intense, the forces of Gondor could not afford to be careless for even a moment.
The two people in front of me, one is the next prime minister, and the other is the captain of the front-line commando team. Neither of them can walk away.
They could only listen to Levi's invitation.
"You mentioned rangers."
Kane also grasped the words that interested him.
"Do you have commandos in your territory, too?"
"They are not commandos. They usually act in dispersed groups. A squad will not have more than ten people at most, and they will not face too many enemies. They cannot be compared with your size for the time being."
"They are like the Rangers of the North, usually in groups of four or five, and they hunt orcs that have not gathered into armies, or occasionally clear out bandit dens, or drive off trolls that come down from the Etten Wastes in the north to prey on them."
Listening to Levi's story, Ecselion and Kane looked at each other.
"Northern Ranger."
Kane uttered a word.
"Or rather, a vagrant. This way of acting sounds very much like a vagrant."
"That's right."
Li Wei said: "The people who instruct them are the vagrants. I have cooperated with the vagrants a lot. The children in Roadside Castle call them 'instructors'."
"Every fledgling ranger must go through the baptism of battle before he can officially serve as a ranger at Roadside Fort."
[Ranger] There are many things that this position can do...
"In fact, there is no difference between the 'Rangers' you mentioned and the commandos."
After Levi finished speaking, Kane began to explain to him: "The commandos and rangers are essentially the same. In other words, the commandos are made up of a large number of rangers. Rangers acting alone are called rangers, and when they gather together they are called commandos. It's just a difference in the name."
"Is that so?"
Li Wei understood.
"The north must be very peaceful." Eccelian recalled the map and couldn't think of anything in the north that could threaten the lord in front of him.
The activeness of the vagrants was enough to make Oak nervous, and with the addition of the rangers sent by Levi's territory, that force should not be underestimated.
"It's not bad. At least the road from the Shire to Rivendell is really clean. The orcs and wargs that used to flock to it have been cleared out. Not a single one is left."
Levi answered casually, thought for a moment, and suddenly said to Exelion: "Your father asked me what I needed before, and maybe he really does."
"What is it?"
Upon hearing this, Excelsior became excited.
"I need a piece of land. Give me a territory."
Even though they had already prepared that what Levi needed might not be ordinary, the words still startled everyone at the table.
You have such a big appetite, you want to divide Gondor’s territory right away?
"Ah, don't get me wrong. I don't want a fiefdom or anything like that. What I want is a piece of unowned land so I can build a house on it to store some things and use it as a place to stay."
Gondor is not closer to Wayside Fort than Wayside Fort is to River City. It would be too troublesome to run the whole distance every time. It would be better to occupy a piece of land and open a Hell Gate as soon as possible.
Thanks to the sleepy monster for the 2000 points reward, and thanks to the friends who voted for the recommendation and monthly tickets, thank you! (End of this chapter)
