Chapter 321: The Guy Who Didn't Knock
Saruman's little tricks are still going on in secret.
Yes, secretly...
"Why didn't you knock?"
At the top floor of the tower, looking at the annoying guy who came uninvited, Saruman silently put away his research materials and protected them behind him.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not here to fight you."
Li Wei sat on a chair at the side naturally, looked at the information behind him and asked: "What is that? Can I take a look..."
"cannot."
"All right."
"If you have something to say, please say it quickly. As you can see, I am very busy." Saruman seemed a little impatient.
Every day I have to monitor the Oak Breeding Farm, be busy with various analytical research and practical activities, and check on the situation of my subordinates. It's already annoying.
"An orc has escaped from your side."
As soon as Levi opened his mouth, he dropped a bombshell, which made Saruman's eyelids freeze.
Fortunately, he usually has a blank expression on his face, with no signs of anything unusual.
"Where, why haven't I heard of it?"
"North of Dunland, it almost ran into my territory."
Saruman explained calmly: "Oh, those Orcs, I know, my men have reported this to me, didn't I send people to clear them out?"
As he spoke, his eyelids twitched.
Apparently, sometimes tone isn't everything.
At this moment, old Saruman's heart was about to jump out.
At least, at least we have to preserve some of the existing achievements...
"Well, it's timely. Your allies in the Dark Land acted very quickly."
Levi's tone was quite casual, as if he was just chatting.
Or maybe he really just came here to chat.
Whoosh.
Levi suddenly stood up, and the heat from his armor passed by Saruman, making his mouth and tongue dry.
He walked all the way to the window and looked out over Isengard.
"The scenery here is still so beautiful - I hope it will always be so beautiful, you see, the clear sky, the green and red gardens, the fruit trees, the clean lake that reflects the clear sky and the majestic mountains in the distance..."
“It must be quite pleasant to take a walk in such an environment.”
"Of course." Saruman replied without even raising his head. His hands did not stop at all, he was busy sorting out the documents.
"It's a pity that some people don't know how to cherish it and regard all of this as worthless."
brush--
Levi suddenly pulled out his nemesis which he had not used for a long time.
This action frightened Saruman.
“What are you doing!?”
"nothing."
Levi took a look at the sword that was not glowing, played with it twice and then put it back.
It seems that the area is still clean.
"Vulgar, I warn you, you'd better not get close to my collection and information. No matter if you bump into something while playing with the sword, or if your armor accidentally ignites something, I will not forgive you easily."
"Don't be nervous. I always respect the fruits of wisdom and labor."
Levi patted the table beside him and said, "Whether it's armor or sword, I can control it. After all, they belong to me."
At this point, he stared at Saruman for another second before continuing, "I hope you can be like me and take care of your own things."
"Heh..." Saruman laughed dryly.
"Of course, I can take care of my own stuff, no matter what it is."
"By the way, how is your research on the beacon going? Have you made any progress after all these years?"
Quite abruptly, Levi changed the subject.
But Saruman was also happy about this. He stretched out his hand and gestured: "A little."
"a little?"
"Yes, a very obvious point."
Hearing this, Levi couldn't help but tilt his head, glanced at the table, then turned to look at Saruman, with disbelief almost written on his face.
"Believe it or not, this is my personal matter. You should be grateful to me for telling you."
This sentence successfully made Levi laugh.
"Okay, okay, don't tell me about your private affairs."
The two's chat didn't last long.
Just as Levi said, he wasn't here to cause trouble, he just passed by and took a look.
As for the original destination?
It's Rohan.
At the top floor of the tower, Saruman breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Levi's figure disappear into the distance.
"Gandalf, Levi...it's such a headache."
He walked slowly back into the tower.
The former likes to wander around, but there are still traces to follow, and even if he finds something, he can deal with it himself.
As for the latter, he is an unreasonable and unpredictable guy, just like the corpse demon, who might appear behind you and scare you at any time.
And then there's nothing we can do about him.
A reliable ally, but...
Saruman suddenly stopped.
He fell into deep thought.
Yeah, why not an ally.
The reasons are complicated, for example - when he first met Levi, he was standing next to Gandalf, and it was obvious that they were in the same group.
The current result was actually determined from that time on.
Shaking his head to dispel these meaningless thoughts, Saruman continued to devote himself to his research.
"It's almost there, it's almost there..."
The so-called research results on beacons are far more than just a little bit...
…
"How are you doing lately?"
In the Golden Palace at the highest point of the capital of Rohan, Levi met the current King Theoden.
"I'm fine. Pretty good."
Theoden came over to greet Levi enthusiastically, and the two of them gave each other a brief hug.
"Well, I feel relieved to see that you are so healthy."
This shows that Saruman has not yet taken any interest in him.
After greeting Theoden, Levi looked past him into the hall, looking left and right, making many senior executives feel uncomfortable.
Some people nodded to Levi calmly, some just lowered their heads, and some were afraid of his gaze and couldn't help looking away.
Seeing this, Theoden asked in a low voice: "Uncle, are you looking for someone?"
"I guess so." Levi's answer was not very clear, leaving people confused.
Théoden asked tentatively, "Perhaps I could do it for you?"
"No, just looking around."
"Just take a look?"
"See if there are any treacherous ministers who could cause harm to Rohan."
Levi did not hide anything when he said this; he just said it in a normal voice at the entrance of the hall.
But it is particularly harsh.
Plop.
Many people's heartbeats accelerated.
There is no way. If this guy wanted to, he could really kill everyone present.
This 'everyone' even included the guards outside and the troops stationed nearby.
"Have you received any secret information?"
Compared to the fears of many high-ranking officials in the palace, Theoden seemed much more calm - due to his experience and trust in Levi since childhood.
But this still couldn't cover up his doubts.
"Not really, I just have a vague premonition."
After scanning the hall, Levi said, "There is no particularly serious danger for now."
This is of course a 'flatterer', and it looks like he hasn't made it to the Golden Palace of Rohan yet.
“Sometimes, you can trust the people closest to you a little more instead of blindly following the advice of outsiders.”
"I see." Theoden nodded.
Levi smiled and said, "I have seen it all. Rohan has enjoyed peace and prosperity over the years."
"You are excellent both as a warrior and as a king."
The figure in front of me seemed to overlap with a certain memory.
Levi was silent for a moment, then added: "... like your father."
Theoden was stunned.
“That’s a great compliment to me.”
