Chapter 82 Obsession

Chapter 82 Obsession

In addition to various multi-block structures, Levi also saw two familiar things in the synthesis table.

Dwarven Wind Crossbow and Black Arrow.

The former only requires the creation of various parts to be assembled, while the latter requires some more complicated forging processes and a certain amount of casting experience.

Moreover, the Black Arrow has the attribute of loyalty, which confirms the rumors about it - no matter where it is thrown, it will always return to its owner's hands.

In addition, it has a special attack against dragon creatures and has built-in armor-piercing ability.

There are quite a lot of items that can be unlocked in Lonely Mountain, and Levi also saw something among them that made his heart pound: gears.

This thing can replace some of the functions of redstone and achieve a certain degree of automation.

For example, many of the dwarfs' gates actually used related technologies, such as the secret passage where Smaug died. With the pull of a switch, the heavy iron gate seven or eight meters high could be raised.

It seems that after returning this time, many facilities in the territory can be updated.

“Found it!”

Approaching the cellar, Levi heard a familiar voice.

Bilbo was the first to find the Arkenstone and handed it to Thorin. Thorin's eyes immediately glued to it. He could not wait to take the beautiful, glowing gem from Bilbo and stared at it: "Ah... The Heart of the Mountain, the Arkenstone, so beautiful..."

"my darling…"

The king murmured, and the word 'baby' made Bilbo's breathing stop. A dark shadow flashed through his mind, and he was a little breathless.

Boom! In Dol Guldur, a huge pupil shadow on an abandoned tower suddenly looked towards the north.

"I feel... its breath!"

"Go, get it back!"

Sauron summoned the nine Ringwraiths and gave them orders.

"Where do you want to go?"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind.

The huge pupil turned around, and saw three figures slowly rising from the steps and approaching the tower.

Elrond, Lord of Rivendell, Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Forest, Saruman, the White Wizard of Isengard.

The three of them standing there made Soran feel extremely threatened, and his pupils shook constantly.

"Where did this scum come from?"

Before Soran could say anything, the Orc leader below came up with a group of soldiers.

"If you do not want to be destroyed, retreat on your own."

Galadriel gave her warning.

“Hahaha – then let me see who will be killed later!”

With a loud roar, the Oak leader rushed forward first.

Galadriel raised his hand slightly.

boom--

A powerful wave of force spread out, shaking the sky. The force was so huge that even the dark and heavy clouds above were affected, creating a halo.

The Oak leader who rushed forward, along with a group of soldiers behind him, were instantly crushed into powder by some huge force and scattered all over the ground, without even any armor left.

Lady Galadriel never exaggerated, and when she said she destroyed, she meant it literally.

No one cared whether the orcs lived or died.

The nine Ringwraiths appeared from the void and fought with the three invading people. They used all kinds of black magic and mental attacks, but they were all resolved one by one and failed to cause any effective damage.

Soon, the bodies of the Ringwraiths were shattered and returned to Sauron to be resurrected again.

"You can't defeat me!"

Sauron released all his strength, and darkness immediately enveloped the entire Dol Guldur, wrapping everyone tightly inside. The pressure was overwhelming, and even Radagast who was waiting outside was affected. He was frightened by the movement and felt fear in his heart.

However, the one with the biggest mood swings among them all was Saruman. He stared with wide eyes as he felt this unrivaled power, and his heart could not calm down at all.

"That's what I crave..."

The darkness covered all the light, making everything dim and colorless.

But soon, another kind of light rose from Galadriel, even covering up her own brilliance for a moment, making her look holy and cold.

It was the light of the Star of Earendil, and its source was a Silmaril.

The light of the Silmarils is a natural nemesis of darkness. Sauron's power was immediately suppressed and he was unable to exert his full strength.

The battle ended with Sauron's defeat, and he was forced back to his own stronghold, the shadowy land of Middle-earth: Mordor.

For a long time, he won't be able to take a single step out of there.

Unaware of the weakness of its true owner, the Ring still bewitched the Hobbit who wore it.

"Hey, Bilbo, I brought some milk, would you like a glass?"

"Thank you, Levi. I am a little thirsty."

Tons of tons of tons.

Bilbo did not doubt anything, and took the milk from the cup and drank it down with a gulp, making a happy sound.

"I feel much better and more energetic. Phew, it seems that milk is indeed very nutritious. Maybe I should consider drinking a glass every day."

"Just be energetic."

Levi nodded, looked at the resolute Hobbit, and suddenly said: "After this, can I invite you to come to my territory?"

"I have some experiments and ideas that require your assistance. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. These are just some simple things."

"I understand. I will go. It would be great to be a guest in your territory."

"I'd love to." Bilbo agreed without hesitation, not caring what experiment Levi was talking about.

The hobbit had not considered the possibility of anything worse.

"Thorin, it's time to find reinforcements."

After talking with Bilbo, Levi turned around and interrupted Thorin, who was still immersed in the glory of the Arkenstone, with a few words, bringing him back to reality.

Thorin paused, then nodded immediately.

"good."

A moment later, at the main gate of Lonely Mountain, a bird with a pitch-black body and a few spots on its belly flapped its wings from Thorin's hand and flew towards the Iron Hills.

"Thrush."

Seeing that Levi was somewhat curious, Balin took the initiative to explain: "It is a long-lived creature with some magic that can understand our language. The dwarves who once lived in Erebor domesticated some of them and used them specifically to deliver messages."

"The one that just flew away must have lived for hundreds of years. It's older than me."

Balin stroked his white beard and lamented the passing of time.

"After hundreds of years, we finally set foot on this land again and return to our homeland."

"only…"

He looked at Thorin, who had never let go of the Arkenstone by the city wall, with unconcealable worry in his eyes.

“Hopefully we won’t go down the same path as before.”

"Don't worry, you won't."

"I hope so."

"I hope so."

Levi put on his elytra and said to Balin, "You guys get ready here first. I have something to do and I'll be back soon."

After he finished speaking, Levi suddenly jumped onto the wall, looked at the ground outside, and stretched his muscles.

"The stairs are over there," Balin reminded considerately.

"I know."

Hula——

Levi jumped down suddenly, causing a cry of surprise. The dwarves quickly lay down on the wall and looked down.

Whoosh——

The next moment, with the sound of fireworks being lit, a group of dwarves raised their heads together and looked at Levi gliding in the sky in amazement.

"Are those wings? I want to try them, too." Bombur stared at the rapidly receding figure and said without blinking.

Bofur, who was very considerate, looked at Bombur's body, which was as long as it was wide, with an expression that was hard to describe.

"No, for your safety, it's better not."
