Chapter 240: Looking from afar
"Hello."
Levi dismounted and tied the horse to a fence placed against the bottom of the tower.
"Levi, the Lord of Roadside Castle, is here to visit."
"We know you. Your exploits in recent years are unmatched. They are as loud as a torrential rain. Every elf who lives here knows about it."
The elf in front of the tower said, "May I ask what is your purpose in coming here?"
"Can I go in and take a look at the crystal?"
"I'm sorry, but I can't decide."
The elf shook his head.
"All right."
Levi didn't feel that surprised.
What the elves did was not inappropriate. This thing was indeed not something that mortals could bear. After all, it was a holy object that could directly see the blessed land.
If Sauron occupied this place one day, he might not dare to touch this thing. He would suffer if the Valar over there glared at him.
As for Levi, he still doesn't know what attitude the guardians and managers of this world have towards him.
Levi has considered himself very clearly. Anyway, he is not able to sink the continent now.
But the Veras who live across the street can do it.
Moreover, the physical manifestation of sinking a continent is only a small part of their power.
Some of them are in charge of matter, and the earth, mountains and minerals were all created by them. Some are in charge of water, making the oceans, rivers and even all pure water able to restrain dark creatures... Some are in charge of souls, some are in charge of plants, and some even directly control the concept of 'the flow of breath'.
In addition to these Vera who control the laws in relatively obscure ways, there are also those who are relatively good at fighting and have infinite strength. If they really let go, they can directly cause mountains to collapse, continents to sink, and the world to shatter and collapse.
This is also why the upper limit of this world is now locked. We will no longer see those outrageous gods and monsters. At most, they can cast some small spells, curses, and compete with each other's wills like Gandalf and Saruman.
Anything too outrageous and any behavior is prohibited.
Because the Being who created this world does not want it to be destroyed. Even though He could create more worlds, He is kind and merciful and is unwilling to abandon His children.
Nor do they want to interfere too much in the operation of the world.
But then again, for the gods of this world, intuitive "combat power" is only a partial manifestation of strength and does not represent the whole.
Wisdom, creativity, imagination, inspiration...these things can also be considered as [power].
Even if a person's fighting ability is not strong, but he is strong in the other aspects mentioned above, he will be described as "powerful".
Just like Gandalf, although he is gentle (probably) and doesn't like to use force (perhaps), his "strength" is quite outstanding among the Maia, and he is openly named as one of the best Maia by the Valar.
However...if we only talk about things like 'power' and 'characteristics'...
You know, another name of mc - "Minecraft" is called "Be a Creator God". Although this name is not very nice, it can also reflect something indirectly.
Even compared with Vera, Levi is definitely the most comprehensive one.
Even if it is not strong enough, he can continue to expand and expand until it is strong enough.
It's not that there can't be growth, it's just that everything is just right.
If I take a few more steps, I might not be able to stay in this world anymore.
In front of the tower of Erostirion, Levi smiled, took two steps back, and did not force it.
Originally, I just came to take a look on the way. It would be best if I could use the crystal to take a glimpse of Valinor to satisfy my curiosity, but if I can't see it, then forget it.
"Come in."
Just as Levi was walking towards the horse, a voice stopped him.
The door of the tower opened and an elf walked out.
Levi looked over and said nothing for a moment.
This elf...I don't know him, nor is he anyone I know.
Perhaps the person in charge and guardian of the tower.
"You may go up."
He smiled and moved aside, inviting Levi.
"Thanks."
After a moment of hesitation, Levi nodded and followed him into the White Tower.
Until the top floor, when the crystal of Elendil appeared in front of him, the elf retreated to the door and made room for Levi.
"This is the legendary Elendil crystal that can see the scene of the Blessed Land..."
Levi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and moved closer.
The crystal stone, as dark as the night sky, flashed with starlight, and the scene on it kept changing, crossing the sea and the sky, all the way to an unknown place above the sky.
The white coast - with large green areas in the distance and the rising sun.
A beautiful and harmonious scenery appeared in Levi's pupils.
As the view gradually zooms out, the first thing that appears is the high tower of Avalonia, which is also the location of the "main crystal" among the crystals of true knowledge. It is because of this main crystal that the Elendil crystal in front of it can reflect the scene over there.
After the sinking of Númenor into the sea, that blessed land of the Valar and the Elves was removed from the world.
——To prevent future generations from making the same mistake.
Now only those who are allowed can reach there through the "straight channel" across the sea and the sky, otherwise they will only face the vast ocean.
It wasn't long before Levi felt a pull as the Tower of Avalonia came into view.
This force drew his gaze past the tall tower, and even to the pass behind the tower, all the way to a golden land full of vitality.
Countless tall and magical creatures grow and live on it, and many beautiful and prosperous cities are built on it, where elves live.
Valinor - everything in this territory, from rocks to water, is holy and flawless, and the life on it is free from disease, corruption or withering, and can last forever.
It's like... like Levi's territory.
On the golden land, there are many magnificent and sacred huge palaces standing. Even though no one told Levi, he already had the answer in his heart, that is, the residence of the Valar.
In a trance, Levi's sight was pulled to the sky above these palaces again, passing through the vibrant pastures and forests against the mountains, crossing rivers and lakes, passing through an unforgettable beautiful garden, and coming to the edge of the world, a quiet palace close to the Wall of the World.
It is quiet and empty here, without any moving life or things.
There are elegy songs echoing in it, which, although sad, bring peace and hope to people.
Even Levi was infected by the singing, and an indescribable emotion burst out in his heart.
[Degree of Corruption: 0%]
The crystal suddenly darkened.
When it lit up again, what it showed was no longer the beauty of Valinor, but all kinds of sufferings that had ever occurred in Middle-earth, including the dead and regrettable things.
The screen turned again, and Levi's pupils shrank slightly. He saw that it showed his own territory, Roadside Castle, the Beorn clan in the Anduin Valley, Dale City, Long Lake Town, and Road Town...
The people above are happy and rich, full of hope for life and motivated to do everything. Just by looking at them, you can feel a sincere joy.
A pair of compassionate eyes, still stained with tears, looked at Levi.
And at this moment, Levi also knew who was behind these eyes.
Nienna, the Lamenter among the Valar, was also Gandalf's mentor.
He learned compassion and patience from Nena, and also learned from her to listen - to listen to the sorrow of others, and to use his own power to help others escape from darkness and rekindle hope.
Just like he did to Levi.
It is true that like teacher, like disciple.
Levi suddenly smiled.
The image in the crystal disappeared and everything returned to normal.
The brief meeting ended here.
There was no revelation, no dialogue or communication, it seemed that the existence of Valinor just wanted to take a look at him, nothing more.
It's time to leave.
After bidding farewell to the guardian of the White Tower, Levi mounted his horse and continued westward toward the Grey Harbor.
