Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

Chapter 258: The Great Library of the Nameless Tower

A seemingly abrupt turmoil ended.

This battle against a new city and a major city in the Free Cities ended in just a few days. Although it was second only to the Battle of Five Armies in terms of scale in the past hundred years, it was recorded in only a few words.

In 2949, Riverside Castle was established. Three Ringwraiths led 15,000 orcs and dozens of giant beasts to attack Riverside Castle. Five thousand soldiers of Riverside Castle defended it all night. At dawn, the lord returned with 6,000 cavalry and wiped out the orcs.

A gray wizard and a dwarf from Erebor participated in this battle.

Rivendell sent troops to intercept the trolls and sent a light elf to support Riverside Castle.

On the same day, Dale, Lake Town, and Road Town were attacked. The entire army of Erebor dwarves was dispatched to assist Dale in its defense. The Woodland Kingdom dispatched a large army to eliminate the invaders from Lake Town and Road Town. On the way, the lord arrived and led the garrison to charge the enemy and won a great victory.

The historian stopped writing for a moment. After roughly summarizing the events, he began to record the battle process in detail, including the actions taken by each team, the commander-in-chief's strategy, etc.

Further subdivided are the details of the battlefield, as well as the names and deeds of some important participants, such as Gandalf running back and forth on the city wall, using his flame to ignite hope for people.

Another example is the deeds of the brave dwarf Balin rushing towards the Ringwraiths, and Glorfindel appearing with golden light all over his body, who left a deep impression on many people.

After this battle, the lord returned to the territory and did not go out for a long time.

The people in the territory felt very novel and a little uncomfortable.

"For your people, most of the time, you only exist in legends and stories, and you are an illusory existence that can only be felt in other people's mouths."

Three months after the war, Gandalf and Levi walked side by side by the lake, slowly approaching the most conspicuous nameless tower in the entire territory.

As they walked, Gandalf lit a cigarette and discussed some of the conditions of the territory with Levi.

It is common for a wizard to provide advice and guidance to a lord.

"Now that you have returned for a long time, they can see you every day and feel your presence with their senses. This has caused many people to temporarily fail to connect their cognition of reality and illusion."

He continued to talk about the wonderful phenomena in Levi's territory.

"Rather than being uncomfortable, it's better to say that it feels a little unreal."

"People's memory is not long, they will slowly adapt in the future."

"Probably."

Levi stretched lazily, feeling this leisure.

Yes, I am free.

"My God, this tower is really tall."

There was an exclamation in front of the tower, and a dwarf was looking up.

It was Balin. He walked to the gate of the nameless tower before the two of them. It was obvious that he had been standing there for a while.

On the other side, Gandalf looked up, staring at the clouds that occasionally floated over the top of the tower, and he also agreed with Balin's words.

"I have to say, it is really tall, taller than any tower I have seen in Middle-earth."

"This tower took me a lot of effort, especially the internal structure and room design."

Levi looked at the tower, every detail of which was built by himself, and fell into memories.

This tower has been built intermittently since the start of construction, and it has probably been built for several years.

If I did nothing else and kept building the tower, the time I spent would definitely be shortened several times.

However, it is normal for survival building players to build it, so I can't blame him.

Probably.

The door opened and the three of them entered the tower together.

Unlike when it was just built, the internal structure of the tower has changed a lot at this moment. The more dangerous and secret facilities such as the magic altar have been moved to the upper floors, and the lower part has been arranged into a large library, which contains a large number of books from all over the world, and is classified and placed by a special person. Someone will come to clean and maintain the environment every once in a while.

"What a place full of wisdom."

As soon as he came in, Gandalf consciously extinguished his pipe.

He walked into a door on the side, and couldn't help but open his mouth slightly after entering.

Looking up, he saw that all he could see here were books, books and books, as well as endless stairs and stable bookshelves carrying books.

At the entrance of these stairs, there were also signs hanging to indicate which stairs led to which book category.

"This place is great."

Balin walked in, looked left and right, and couldn't help looking around.

First of all, as a dwarf, this huge and magnificent thing is very consistent with his aesthetic taste.

In addition, as a scholar among the more studious dwarves and the think tank of Erebor, books are also his favorite things.

The two together stimulated his nerves, making him feel happy from head to toe.

"I didn't mention this tower to Bilbo. Of course, when I visited him, I didn't know that this scene would be like this."

Balin said: "If Bilbo knew, he would definitely be willing to send his own books to enrich the bookshelf."

"Books?" Levi asked.

"Yes, a book. Bilbo said he was going to write a book, but he hasn't even decided on a title yet. It will probably take some time before he actually starts writing."

"Then I'll be looking forward to it."

As the two were chatting, Gandalf raised his eyebrows and suddenly saw a relatively new book placed on a separate counter.

Reading the correct version! 6=9+Shu_Bar's first novel.

"This is..."

He picked up the book and saw the title "General History of Roadside Fort".

Judging from the appearance of the book and the writing on it, it was obvious that someone had recently touched it and had written something new.

"This is one of the few books in the big library that is being serialized." Seeing Gandalf's interest, Levi mentioned it.

"It was specially written and revised by the historian of Wayburg."

"Um…"

Gandalf nodded and opened the book.

"In the year 2940 of the Third Era, the roadside fort was built, and a miracle happened."

"...Livy walked on the earth and knocked a piece of oak from the first oak tree he saw. He gave this piece of oak to his people and told them that it was the length of 'a square', a new measurement word. Appear."

"Later Livy revised it to 'one meter' and continued to subdivide units such as centimeters and millimeters."

"Is that so?" Gandalf raised his head and asked.

"Well, just take it as such, but the people in the territory are still used to saying 'ge' verbally, and only the stricter written records use 'meter'."

"Well... using 'ten' as a whole unit, this measurement method is quite good."

Approving this method, Gandalf continued to flip through the pages and finished reading the 'history book' in a short time.

The most recent major event recorded was the war three months ago.

"A brave dwarf of Erebor, that's me."

Balin looked at the record above and almost smiled.

This trip was really not in vain.

Different from Balin's simple appreciation, Gandalf thought a lot when he looked at the library and various facilities in the tower.

"What about higher ups?"

"That's the secret. It's for my research."

"Research?"

Levi shook the rune ring on his hand and said, "Yes, research."
