Chapter 244 Visit and Reminder

Originally, when passing by the roadside fort, Gandalf and Balin planned to visit Levi on the way.

However, when they arrived here, they received a message:

"He is not here."

Gandalf could only remain silent about this.

"Then let's go?" Balin looked up and asked.

"Otherwise, what else can we do? Can anyone catch him back?"

Gandalf sighed.

Hearing this sigh, the iron golem beside him handed him a flower intimately, as if to let him not lose it.

"Thank you."

"If only your master could be as quiet as you."

The iron golem did not understand these words.

When Gandalf took the flower, it continued to patrol.

People say that the roadside fort is indestructible and cannot be broken - the reason is not only the solid high wall that is difficult to see the end when standing below and looking up.

There are also these iron lumps, which are one of the trump cards of the roadside fort and even the free cities.

To deal with them, either develop targeted tools or weapons, or send an army ten times larger and equipped with talented generals.

Of course, even if you can come up with a way to deal with this group of iron golems, don't forget that there are still batches of excellent guards on the high walls who are on duty day and night. Every one of them is a warrior with excellent qualities in all aspects.

"I would rather attack White City than approach the Roadside Castle."

This has become a common saying among the Orcs.

"Wait."

At the intersection of the Roadside Castle and the Eastern Road, Gandalf was about to leave and continue to walk towards the Shire, but he suddenly stopped and looked to the south.

I saw that there was a road made of gray stone bricks in that direction. The road was square and had a certain characteristic.

"So... when did a road appear here?"

"I don't remember there was a crossroads here, at least not a year ago."

"This was newly built in the past year. We call it the 'Gray Road'."

A passerby solved his puzzlement.

Seeing that someone knew the situation, Gandalf hurriedly stopped him and asked, "Where does this gray road lead to?"

"Riverside Castle, it leads to Riverside Castle."

"Riverside Castle?"

Gandalf and Balin looked at each other, but they were more confused.

"I have never heard of this name."

"It was only built in the past year." The resident reminded.

"Then let's go and have a look?" Balin suggested.

"Agree."

So the two of them temporarily changed their route at the intersection near the roadside castle and headed south along this new wide road.

…

Pull back a little time.

"Just build the road."

At the same time as the new major was opened, Levi also marked a new point on the map, and then picked up the pen and connected this new point with the roadside castle.

So it became a line.

When this line appeared, the residents had new work to do.

A road made of stone bricks started at the intersection of the roadside castle and the Eastern Road and headed to the location of the southern delta.

Because the bricks synthesized from stones are gray in color, people simply call this road paved with stone bricks "Gray Road". After hearing this informal nickname, Levi slapped the table and used it as the official name.

When the Gray Road was built to the end, where three rivers converged, Levi started again and built a new building here.

A castle built by the river.

Of course, a new building must have a new name. Levi had an idea and named it "Riverside Castle".

Just like its name, Riverside Castle is built on a high ground by the river. It is quite conspicuous and can be seen from a long distance.

Surrounding this castle, many buildings and facilities will be built here in the future, such as shipyards, docks, cranes, etc.

A brand new shipyard is about to be built.

Here, the inherited wisdom and latest research and development achievements of the three races of humans, elves and dwarves are fully demonstrated.

With Levi's hands, all their wisdom can be maximized.

However, even with Levi's efficiency, it still takes some time to build this place.

Think about those great cities in the past, which one was not accumulated bit by bit over dozens or hundreds of years?

Even if this place is now his territory... it will take at least a few months to build, after all, there are still many facilities required, and it also involves some terrain transformation work.

And even if it is built, the talent reserve in the rear cannot keep up for the time being. Maybe the venue is built, and even the ships are made by Levi when he is free. As a result, the first batch of students majoring in navigation and ship engineering at the Roadside Castle School have not graduated yet.

"We can build a new branch campus here."

In the Riverside Castle, Levi stood in front of the window and looked at the construction site outside, thinking about it for a while.

So do it.

When the shipyard here is built, open a branch and move all the related majors here.

There are lecturers and teaching aids. The teaching quality and environment are absolutely top-notch.

Nothing can make people progress faster than practice.

Dongdongdong...

The gate of the castle suddenly sounded.

Creak.

"Gandalf?"

Levi seemed a little surprised.

"Why are you here..."

"And me."

As he was speaking, a voice came from below. Levi looked down and found Balin was there too.

"Oh, long time no see, Balin, welcome, have you finished your work?"

"No, no, no, don't mention this, Levi, it's not a good memory. You don't know that those guys are too much. They don't take me with them when they go out..."

While speaking aggrievedly, Bahrain gave Levi an awkward hug, like an old child seeking comfort.

"But speaking of it, it really shocked me. I just haven't been here for a few years, but it feels like hundreds of years have passed."

"I almost wonder if time passes at different speeds on both sides."

Bahrain was quite emotional.

"There is even a new territory here, and a new castle of this size."

"Perhaps it will become a new city soon." Gandalf gave his opinion on the side.

"This place is quite conspicuous, especially at night. We saw the beam of light belonging to the 'beacon' even far away, which guided us here."

"You don't even have to ask for directions."

“This thing really stands out at night.”

After saying a simple hello, Levi turned sideways and welcomed the two people in.

"It's a long journey and you've been working hard. Let's drink a bowl of hot soup to warm your stomach."

It was dinner time now, so Levi naturally went directly to cook.

"Thanks."

The two took the soup and took a look.

Mmm, mushroom soup.

"It's quite delicious." Bahrain couldn't help but admire it.

"Um…"

Gandalf also nodded repeatedly and commented:

"To be honest, since the last time I had mushroom soup at my friend's house, I have been a little afraid of food containing such ingredients. Now you have made me face it again."

"As long as you're satisfied - what would you like to drink?"

"wine."

"A glass of ale."

The two gave different answers.

Fortunately, all kinds of wine are available here, and their needs were soon served.

Soup, barbecue, vegetables and fruits, and bread…

The combination of this meal can be said to be quite balanced in all aspects, and there is no fault in the taste.

"We were going to visit Bilbo in the Shire."

Bahrain took the initiative to stir up the topic.

"But seeing the new gray road, we changed our minds and planned to come here first."

"This location is very good. Of course, I know you can still find a way even if the terrain is not good."

"But I must warn you, Levi."
