Chapter 47: Bree's Encounter

Snow.

This thing can usually only be seen high up in the Misty Mountains or in the vast snowfields of the far north; in other places you can only see it in winter.

However, snow has never shown any particularly good use, so Levi didn't pay much attention to it.

However, although snow is useless, the ice that often appears with it is much more useful.

Ice, or rather blue ice that does not melt when made from ice, is essential for building highways.

During his first winter in this world, Levi decided to stock up on some materials.

On this day, Levi, who had just returned from a journey, cleared the snow at the city gate and invited Gandalf in for a meal.

Then, the old man immediately set off in a hurry without even staying.

"Thank you for the invitation, but if I don't leave now, I'll be too late. I don't want to be called a liar by the kids."

"Well, I hope you have a great new year."

Send Gandalf away.

The first thing Levi did was to clear out the areas in the territory where activities frequently took place. Although the thick layers of snow looked beautiful, they really hindered activities.

This clear snow is like a box of snow.

After not having been back for a few months, the animals are still the same. Although they are exposed to heavy snow, there seems to be nothing unusual and they are quite resistant to the cold.

As for those original native animals, such as cows, sheep, and horses - they are now lying in sheds with lids and heaters. They have plenty of food and water, and they live a very comfortable life.

But in comparison, the farm looks a bit messy.

As the weather turned cold, the water sources on the farm froze. The water turned into ice, causing the nearby farmland to dry up, and the crops on the farmland turned directly into seeds and fell to the ground.

After placing a few pieces of fluorescent stone at the bottom of the water to provide a heat source and prevent freezing, Levi planted the land again.

"It's just a heavy snowfall. It can't crush my lodging-resistant crops."

After briefly dealing with things in the territory affected by the heavy snow, it was already night.

Looking at the dark sky, Levi suddenly remembered what Gandalf said.

So on this day, Levi returned to his room and took a nap, which was rare.

"Ha—comfortable."

After waking up, Levi felt refreshed. Different from the usual energetic feeling, this feeling was like his whole state was refreshed.

It is fundamentally different from the energy you have when you are full.

"Get to work!"

After walking into the warehouse and finding a pile of materials, Levi planned out a large area and built an ice rink.

It takes nine ordinary ice to synthesize one unmelting floating ice, and nine floating ice are needed to synthesize the blue ice needed to build a high-speed ice road.

The amount of ice needed to build a road is quite large.

This is a long-term collection project.

Levi took out a pickaxe enchanted with precise collection and experience repair, and began to chisel ice day and night.

Of course, after each collection, the water always needs some time to condense into ice again. During this time, Levi will not just wait at the ice field.

Instead, he took advantage of this gap to start territory construction.

After shoveling snow once, Levi really didn't want to shovel it a second time, but the weather was not something he could control. Once it snowed again, the territory would definitely be covered in snow again.

Fortunately, there are always ways to deal with this situation, such as inserting torches and placing glowstone.

These heated blocks can automatically melt the fallen snow, saving you the trouble of cleaning it up.

So on some frequently traveled roads and main roads in the territory, Levi built beautiful and warm street lamps on the roadside using fluorescent stones or torches.

If there are street lights, there must be roads, so Li Wei picked up some materials and built the road along the track of the street lights.

But having only roads and street lights is not enough, as it seems too monotonous, so some more decorations are added on both sides of the road, including artificial landscape trees, small flower beds, steps and benches, fences and small ponds, as well as some fine rivers and small wooden bridges.

As he built, Levi couldn't help but think of the scenery and architectural style of the valley, and he unconsciously integrated himself into it.

While the style of Roadside Fort is constantly changing.

On the other side, Gandalf had just finished a grand fireworks party in the Shire and was surrounded by a group of cheering children. His peaceful face was so smiling that his eyes could hardly be seen.

"Oh - okay, good kids, this is the last one, you can only put the last one~"

Boom! The fireworks exploded in the air, the ground was illuminated for a moment, and all the hobbits in the village cried out in surprise.

It was an extremely joyful night. Gandalf had a great time setting off fireworks with great joy, and the children were so excited that they spent the whole night recalling the fireworks and lay in bed unable to sleep.

Maybe in my dreams, the fireworks will still bloom.

"Gandalf, will you come again next year?"

The next morning, the children gathered around Gandalf and asked him questions as he was about to leave.

"Well, that's not certain, but I promise, this won't be my last time here. Oh, I think I should leave now. Bye kids!"

Gandalf waved and left.

"I have a feeling it's better to go this way."

Gandalf set out on his journey again, not knowing where he was going.

People returned to their own paths and lived their lives as usual.

There were no waves.

The days passed by unknowingly.

Lightning flashed.

Boom.

A heavy rain heralds the arrival of spring.

March 15, 2941 of the Third Era.

Bree.

In the Prancing Pony Inn, Gandalf turned his head suddenly and saw a dwarf who looked a little shabby but had a very extraordinary temperament.

This face looks familiar...

Thorin, son of Thrain?

The moment he saw this dwarf, Gandalf suddenly remembered the dwarf prisoner he met in Dol Guldur nearly a hundred years ago, who had been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable and whose memory was damaged.

The dwarf handed him a key and a map and asked him to give them to his son.

But all this time, Gandalf didn't know who the dwarf prisoner was, let alone who his son was.

However, the moment he saw Thorin, everything suddenly became clear to him.

The dwarf who handed him the key and the map was none other than Thráin II, King of the Dwarves of Durin!

The dwarf in front of him was Thorin Oakenshield, who inherited this title.

In an instant, Gandalf thought a lot.

At this moment, the impoverished dwarf king was concentrating on the food on his plate with his head down. However, in this noisy inn, several malicious eyes were focused on him.

Two ruffians who had been waiting for a long time slowly stood up and surrounded the enemy from both sides.

That was a spy bought by the enemy outside.

Thorin slowly put down the food in his hand and put one hand on the hilt of the sword.

"Mind if I sit at the table with you?"

A voice that made people feel inexplicably reassured suddenly came, interrupting the tense atmosphere here.

Thorin looked up and saw an old man in a gray robe sitting opposite him.

Seeing that the situation was developing in an unknown direction, the two scoundrels looked at each other and chose to step back and wait and see.

"Let me introduce myself. I am Gandalf, Gandalf the Grey."

"I know you."

Apparently, Thorin had heard of this strange old man.

"Oh, that's great. What a coincidence today - by the way, what is Thorin Oakenshield visiting Bree for?"

"I heard that someone saw my father wandering in the wilderness near Dunland. I went to look for him, but found nothing."

"Thrain..."

Gandalf sighed.

The melody of fate plays again.
