Chapter 309 The Dragon Who Loves Reading

Time always brings sorrow to those who are unaware of it.

It's just that some people never seem to pay attention to external affairs.

Like the white wizard Saruman.

Levi sat in the castle, flipping through the report.

According to the information provided by the rangers, Saruman does not seem to be very peaceful in the past few decades. He has been wandering around Middle-earth, sometimes visiting the Water City, and sometimes going to the Misty Mountains. Look, one month I was in the Golden Iris Swamp, and the next month I was in the ruins of Eregion, and I don’t know what I was doing.

It seems that there is a lot of activity, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem like it.

In fact, there were at least several years between these events.

And recently - about ten years ago, Saruman has finally become honest. This guy has begun to live in the tower of Orthanc without moving out even half a step.

At the same time, the rangers of the Shire noticed that Saruman was purchasing a large amount of various supplies, such as food, tobacco, etc. Some people estimated that the supplies he had purchased so far could almost feed a relatively small army.

But he continues to stock up on goods, not only from Shire, but also from Roadside Fort and even the Water City, and the shares are very large.

Saruman, he did have people of his own to support.

After all, Isengard is not just one tower. There are many servants and guards there. It does take a lot of people to manage such a large land.

Levi sat at the table, thinking.

So far, this guy seems to be quite calm.

He returned to his old profession, sitting in the tower all day doing research and doing little else.

After observing Saruman's little movements, Levi turned his attention to other places.

Gondor, Mordor, Umbar, Harad...the places that currently seem to be under the greatest pressure and have the most frequent disputes are relatively stable.

As usual, there were minor frictions, but nothing major happened.

There were constant harassments and temptations, but no major wars.

As for the movement in the extreme east, it is really difficult to detect.

Looking at the concise briefings in his hand, Levi rubbed his temples and felt a little bit of Sauron's feelings.

Putting aside everything else, Sauron is truly a genius, and he is also an overtime maniac. Based on the amount of work he does, it is estimated that he works overclocking 24 hours a day.

And not only do you have to deal with various things, play tricks to unite this and that, conquer this and conquer that, but you also have to keep an eye on internal developments, personally issue various orders, and do various things.

From the development of national power and internal management, to the cultivation of ferocious giant beasts and the development of new species, military, economic, scientific research, diplomacy... almost all things are controlled by him alone, with others such as the Witch King or others Ordinary Ringwraiths can only be regarded as auxiliary at best, and they are all mainly focused on executing his orders.

The purer the purpose of a person, the stronger his power of action. There is no doubt that Sauron is a pure person. His purpose in creating Mordor and conquering the surrounding dark humans is to spread darkness throughout the world and destroy all good things. Pulled into destruction.

There are no other ideas besides this, plus Sauron's special nature - he is like a player, giving orders or developing anything will not be hindered by any other hard conditions other than resources and technology, and it is efficient. Incomparable, and all his subordinates are absolutely loyal.

It is really a headache to face such an enemy.

Not to mention Gondor and Rohan, even Levi felt some unspeakable uneasiness.

Sauron is not a guy who can live a peaceful life - he has been a little too quiet in recent years.

It was so quiet that Levi felt a little weird.

Mordor has always been shrouded in great mystery, and its development has always been a mystery.

Like Sauron, there was no movement at all and the Balrog in Moria seemed to be missing. In comparison, this big guy made people feel much more at ease. It really didn't move at all.

In the past few years, not only Levi, but also a ranger expedition team had gone in and walked through during their free time, but there was no trace of that guy.

It's like disappearing into thin air.

The Balrog is probably sleeping peacefully somewhere. It is normal for this kind of creature to sleep for hundreds of thousands of years. Generally, it is too lazy to move unless the rocks above its head are exploded.

Thinking about it, Levi poured himself a cup of tea.

This year, nothing happened in the territory and the surrounding area was peaceful.

When another spring arrived, Li Wei stood on the military camp training ground, reviewing one team after another of soldiers.

Among them, the group of rangers standing at the front wearing gray medals attracted the most attention.

Obviously, they are the best rangers.

After so many years of development, those who have won the Outstanding Ranger Medal can be picked out individually to form a company of several hundred people.

It can be expected that even if this company encounters ten times the number of enemies, it will still be able to break through with overwhelming force.

If those legion champions are also included, then this team might be able to consider turning around and annihilating all the enemies.

The standards for excellent rangers are not uniform. On top of basic combat qualities, some of them are better at strategy, some are better at fighting in extreme environments, and some are better at obtaining intelligence...

But the Legion Champion is different. They have only one standard, and that is that he must be the most capable Ranger in this issue.

Each of these legion champions, when their stamina is not exhausted, is equivalent to a normal Levi, and can fight him to a draw, or even have a slight advantage.

When another medal ceremony ended, Levi looked at this sharp blade legion and nodded.

Now this legion, let alone its enemies, even Levi himself would probably be tossed to death if he encountered it.

It's so troublesome.

Please...collect 6...books...!

"Okay, disband."

Levi waved his hand, announcing the end of this medal ceremony.

Snoring...

Next to the castle, under the huge Maolong tree, Xiaofen changed his posture and continued to coil on the grass.

When Levi walked by, he gently rubbed Levi with his big head, and this rub almost made Levi take a step back.

Levi had to look up at Xiaofen.

This guy has now grown as big as a small hill, and the ladder leading to the top of the Maolong tree can't bear his weight.

But fortunately, the wings were not for show, and Xiaofen learned to fly early.

But most of the time he still liked to lie on the ground, because compared with his current size, the huge Maolong tree seemed a little small. Although he could still coil up on it, it was very conspicuous.

The dragon coiled on the Maolong tree actually became another symbol of Roadside Fort a few years ago. Some people thought this scene was really wonderful, so they drew it according to their impression and sewed it on the flag.

Later, this flag was seen by Levi, and he obviously thought that this logo was well designed, so he simply hung this flag under the Maolong tree where Xiaofen lived.

Xiaofen said he had no objection.

However, although he had no objection to this flag, Xiaofen had been thinking about another thing for a long time.

This year, Xiaofen asked Levi if he had grown up.

Levi nodded.

So Xiaofen asked if he could change the nickname "Xiaofen" that was agreed to be used only in childhood and give him a normal dragon name.

Now his scales are no longer pink, but hard and dark red, with a neat and shiny appearance, majestic and beautiful.

However, in the face of this request, Levi was silent and did not say a word.

Little Pink was also silent.

Looking at Levi in ​​front of him, who was like a machine stuck for a long time and could not say a word, he seemed to have noticed something.

So from that day on, Little Pink no longer lay on the grass near the castle, but coiled at the door of the nameless tower, asking people to help him find books to read every day, and sometimes he asked people to read to him when he couldn't see what was written in the book.

"If you don't think for me, then I will think for myself."

The child was forced to be independent.

In this way, due to someone's brain being stuck, a new rumor appeared under the nameless tower.

The dragon who loves reading.
