Chapter 261: Stubborn
When the Practice was launched, its template was also saved by Li Wei and marked as "Practice Level".
This will make construction much easier later.
However, so far, Levi is the only one in the entire territory who can build such a flagship. Others are still learning, and no one can reach this level for the time being.
"It's comparable to the largest ship I remember, and even more sophisticated."
When the Practice was officially completed and Levi stood on the bow to make the announcement, Círdan also stood below as one of the witnesses.
In addition to him, there was also a very conspicuous big gray hat in the crowd.
"It is indeed large enough. The number of people needed to start and maintain it alone can form a full-strength commando team."
Gandalf looked left and right at the ship, and at the beam of light that broke through the sky above, he could not help but sigh.
According to Levi, every "practical-class" ship must be equipped with at least one beacon, which is simply a huge mobile fortress.
As he looked, old Gandalf fell into memories.
"The last time I saw such a big ship was a long time ago, but that ship sank, along with the throne on it and the country to which the throne's owner belonged."
"Trust Levi." Childan reminded the old wizard.
Of course he knew who Gandalf was talking about and which ship he was talking about.
Alkarondas (Sea Fortress) - the flagship of Ar-Pharazon, the last king of Númenor, when he attacked Valinor.
Of course, everyone knows the consequences of attacking Valinor. The invincible fleet and the entire country of Númenor sank and completely disappeared from the world.
"Of course I do."
"I just think... never mind."
Halfway through his words, Gandalf shook his head again.
"It's always a good thing."
The news of the birth of the Practice spread quickly and soon spread to far places.
For example, Gondor.
When the messenger returned with concrete news, many senior executives felt their scalps tingling.
But Turgon held his hands down, suppressing some of the little thoughts that were arising in them.
"Open the port of Pelargir to allow the fleets of the Free Cities to pass through."
"But..." Someone tried to express his concerns.
Then he was pushed back by Turgon.
"If he has other ideas, does he need to use any tricks?"
The whole room was speechless.
call--
After the meeting, Turgon dragged his increasingly weak body back to his chambers, picked up his pen and began to write a letter.
He wanted to convey Gondor's decisions made as a result of the development of its allies, mainly the goodwill, to the distant city-state, the newly established port city.
In the spring of 2952, a messenger set out with a letter and royal gifts.
"What, your lord is not here again?"
However, when he finally arrived at the Riverside Castle on the west side of the Misty Mountains after running for a long time, he received such news.
"Not in Roadside Fort either."
"That…"
"Don't ask me, friend."
The people replied: "No one knows where our Lord is, and please don't be surprised, this is the norm for our Lord."
"Then I'll wait here."
"Of course, you're welcome to stay here longer."
The messenger had no choice but to stay in a roadside fort.
And Levi...in fact, he almost passed by the messenger.
While the messengers from Gondor were heading west, he was running east.
"What are you looking at?"
On the Old South Avenue, Levi was riding his horse when suddenly a group of locals wearing animal fur clothes and holding axes and spears emerged from the bushes.
That is, the dark people.
They are not very polite.
When Levi was startled by the sudden appearance of the dark barbarians, they were also startled by Levi.
"No, sir, we were hunting and just happened to pass by here."
The leader of this group of dark barbarians stood up and spoke.
Levi didn't recognize this group of people at all, but they knew Levi very well and had heard all kinds of stories about him.
"hunting?"
"I think you look like you're going to do something bad."
"Absolutely not, my Lord."
The leader lowered his head guiltily, and the others remained silent.
"Tell us your purpose and the person who directed you."
Levi dismounted and stood in front of him.
Just look at him.
The leader couldn't stop sweating and finally couldn't stand the pressure anymore. He said:
"It was Lord Saruman. He told us to keep an eye on anyone passing through here, but I promise we have no intention of launching an attack, either on you or anyone else!"
"Oh, Saruman?"
"I'm going to look for him, what you said had better be true."
"I swear to you that there is nothing false in my words."
"Well, sure. Go back and stop hanging around here."
"yes!"
They retreated.
Levi mounted his horse and continued eastward until he reached the gate of the tower of Orthanc in Isengard.
Many years have passed, but this place has not changed at all: the lake is clear, the trees are lush, and the sky is blue.
It’s just that the old face on the tower isn’t very pretty.
"Saruman, open the door, open the door!"
"It's me, open the door!"
In front of the empty door, Levi knocked loudly. As he knocked, a crack appeared on it. As he continued knocking, the crack became bigger.
"That's enough, can't you wait a little longer? It takes time for me to walk down!"
Seeing that the door was about to be knocked down if this continued, a voice was heard.
Saruman quickly stopped Levi and opened the door.
"I thought you were not here."
"I was here the whole time, but I happened to have called the doorman to do something else."
"Oh, that's really a coincidence. As soon as I arrived, he was asked by you to do something else."
"It's a very unfortunate coincidence."
Saruman had a stern face and spoke in a flat tone, as if he didn't hear any other meaning in Levi's words.
"So what is the purpose of our 'Great Ship Builder, Master of the Great Shipyard in the Horn' coming here to visit?"
On the upper floor of the tower, Saruman brewed a pot of good tea and poured a cup for Levi.
"I have to say, the tea is very good. It seems that the white wizard Saruman is indeed worthy of the title of 'the wise man'. From the taste, we can see that he is extraordinary."
Levi rarely praised this guy.
But Saruman did not respond.
Because this tea was imported from Lubianbao.
Seeing that he was silent, Levi didn't continue to keep him in suspense, but went straight to the point: "I came here to make a request. I need an item in your tower."
"What?"
"The Star of Elendil."
Saruman narrowed his eyes.
"I don't know what you're talking about."
"No need to hide it, I know it's here."
He comes with ill intentions.
"so what?"
Seeing Levi's firm attitude, Saruman simply stopped pretending.
But even though he was not pretending, Saruman felt a little confused at the moment.
It doesn’t matter whether this matter is exposed, but how it is exposed is very important.
For thousands of years, no one knew that Elendil's Star had been picked up by him, and no one had ever suspected it.
As for the rumor that someone sneaked into the secret room of Orthanc and saw the gem - that was even more impossible. The key to the secret room had never been given to anyone else, and there was a magical guard on the door. Not to mention ordinary people, even the Ringwraiths couldn't break it.
"How do you know that?"
"I guess."
Hearing this answer, Saruman's hands froze and he almost crushed the teacup.
"It's not with me. I was just talking nonsense."
"It must be there."
“No.”
“Right now.”
"I said I wasn't."
"I said it was."
"Okay, I'm not here to rob."
Li Wei put down his teacup and said, "Name your price. I want to take it away."
Oh, it turned out to be a misunderstanding.
Saruman looked a little better.
"Since you said that, I will tell you the story of how hard it was for me to preserve it..."
