Chapter 2186 The unexpected orange ring (please subscribe for more updates)
After the banquet, Levi did not forget to take a look at Frodo.
But this little guy is too young at the moment.
Levi didn't dare to hold a newborn baby, for fear that he might accidentally touch it and cause something to happen to him.
Let’s put this matter aside for now, at least wait until a few months later...
Amid the children's reluctance and persuasion, Levi waved his hand, stuffed each child with a handful of candies and left.
Of course, Li Wei wouldn't bring so many snacks with him. He used Zhuo Guo's inventory.
"I have no objection."
Zhuo Guo said so.
The happy time is always short.
At dawn, Levi took Bilbo back to Bag End, then said goodbye and left.
Just staying at the roadside fort like this, a year passed before I knew it.
When another autumn came, Bilbo took the initiative to visit for the first time. He stayed at the roadside fort overnight. When he got up the next day, Levi walked with him on the road to heaven, picked up a carriage and ran slowly eastward.
After passing through Halfway Town, Karl Town, and one-eighth of the Black Forest town, the two arrived at River Valley City.
It had been decades since Bilbo last set foot on this land. The elderly hobbit looked left and right with great nostalgia. After walking for a long time, he continued towards Riverdale City and the city. Go to Gushan.
The Lonely Mountain was quite lively that night, and Thorin came up and gave Bilbo a big hug.
Haven’t seen each other for more than 20 years.
The longest-lived among the dwarves are similar to the Dúnedain, who can live for more than three hundred years.
To these people, more than twenty years may be considered a long time, but it cannot be said to be too long.
Parting always follows meeting and fun.
After a while, the two of them walked back together and took a look at Zhuo Guo's house while passing by Buckland.
This time Levi held Frodo in his arms. This one-year-old little guy was very lively, had a nice smile, and was quite lovable.
So, before we know it, another year has passed.
This year, the residents of the roadside fort discovered that the lord spent more time at home. He no longer disappeared easily. He did not know where to go on adventurous travels. Once he went out, he would not come back for several months. Time has to be calculated on an annual basis.
But even though he stayed at home, Levi didn't do anything.
Sometimes he would go to Riverside Fort, especially the three plots of land corresponding to the delta, and walk back and forth, as if he was investigating something.
Sometimes some [architects] would come and walk with him, looking around and chatting.
The contribution required for this position is not low, at least 1,000 points. At this level, they are usually at least the captain of a construction company. They master the synthesis of all blocks and various tools and machinery, and have great authority.
The next year, perhaps because he had had enough inspections, Li Wei established a new construction project. He used stones to encircle the land divided into three parts by the river in a large circle, completely enclosing the center where the rivers converged and the rapids converged. got up.
Around this huge circle, the new phase of the Riverside Fort expansion plan began.
The construction company heard the sound and moved behind Li Wei to provide assistance, pointing out where to build.
This team is all architects who have received professional education and study. They are very efficient in making things, and their aesthetic level is not low. They can often make designs that make Li Weidu's eyes shine.
And another more important point, which is also an advantage over Li Wei, is that this group of people never give up when doing construction. The projects started will be completed and will never be unfinished.
As time passed, the overall size of Riverside Fort gradually expanded and expanded, doubling its area in just a few months.
The original riverside fort became the "Western City District", and the new city built at the river corner was called the "Northern City District". The two districts were centered on the intersection of three rivers and watched each other.
Of course, this is not the end of the new project.
With the successful completion of Beicheng District, the progress of Dongcheng District and Nancheng District has also begun to advance rapidly.
But this time some people started to have objections - mainly from the roadside fort.
The roadside fort construction team that rushed over collectively condemned the riverside fort construction team:
"You guys are so strict. You haven't released any news in the past few months. It's so interesting... I mean, you don't even ask us to come together for such a serious event?"
"You are just making yourself happy, and then you leave us alone for a few months. How can you tolerate this with your conscience?"
"Tell me, don't you regard us as your own people!"
The captain of the construction company of Riverside Fort quickly explained, claiming that he was afraid that the project would be too large and complicated and would tire them. Moreover, the lord did not ask them to join him. He himself was completely sufficient.
"You're so tired, go and have a rest and leave the rest to us."
"We just sent someone to ask, and the Lord said he has no objection." "Okay, go quickly, you all go and 'rest'!"
"Then there's nothing we can do."
The Riverside Fort construction company is no longer installed.
"Speak based on your strength."
So two construction teams started working, and they were respectively responsible for the two new urban areas in the southeast that had not yet started construction.
Then the other person becomes unhappy.
Li Wei looked sad and was forced to work overtime frantically.
The construction speed of the two brigades was so fast that they worked day and night and could not be persuaded to stop.
His original design was completed ahead of schedule - after it was completed, the two brigades had nothing to do and could only continue to wait for Levi's new planning and architectural plans to be issued.
Although they didn't have any opinions on this point, Levi always felt very flustered when he walked by.
This feeling of being unsettled even though no one is urging me or forcing me to do anything is too subtle.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
In order to get rid of this feeling, Levi had to speed up the planning a little. By the way, since the manpower was indeed quite sufficient, he also boldly proposed some more cutting-edge design plans.
For example, the sky garden built next to the river in Dongcheng District.
One after another, waterfall-like water poured down from above, flowing through the grassland filled with flowers and trees.
A huge building with a number of floors that is difficult to count in a short time stands on the riverside. The floors of different heights are gradually reduced, and the floors are covered with buildings with arcades.
The bottom floor of the building is a very wide and bright space filled with flowers, plants and trees from all over the world. These views are blocked by water curtains. Only through the water curtain can you enter the interior to view.
Looking at it this way, it is as if this huge garden is held up by water curtains and waterfalls. This design does not go against physical intuition, but it is also quite novel and breathtaking.
Once the ‘Sky Garden’ appeared, it became the most spectacular spectacle in the city.
[Architects] were impressed by its design concept and inspiration.
Since then, no matter how hard Levi fished or occasionally procrastinated, he never felt that flustered again.
A few months later, Dongcheng District, which hosts the sky garden, was announced to be completed. Next, only the final gap - Nancheng District - was filled, and this huge ring-like city could be officially declared complete.
Regarding the last urban area, architects have come up with their own ideas.
There is a precedent in Dongcheng District. They don't want to just build something ordinary.
Some people proposed to build a huge lighthouse to replace the original smaller one, and others proposed that the lighthouse could be replaced with a huge statue of the lord. This inspiration mainly came from the ‘Twin Pillars of the King’ standing at the Raulos Falls.
The next step is a multiple-choice question...?
After the residents voted and Levi, whose scalp was a little numb, made a decision, the result was: want both.
So the huge lighthouse was built in the original old city (Xicheng District) near the river, and the statue was built in the South City District to watch each other with the giant lighthouse.
The statue stood with a sword and was extremely tall. Standing on the top floor, you could not only overlook the entire riverside shipyard, but also the roadside fort farther away.
Its meaning is 'protection'.
The expression of the statue is vague and seems to be very complicated. It contains a bit of love, and there is also some reluctance in the love.
Someone asked the sculptor why he designed it like this, and he replied - that was the expression that the lord often showed, and he didn't know why.
The chirping bird folded its wings and landed at the base of the statue to rest on it.
The butterfly circled and landed on Levi's shoulder. When he moved, he was startled and flew away.
Looking at this new majestic city and looking up at his statue, Levi sighed.
Another year has passed.
When the new city plan was officially announced, people gave it a new name:
"The City of Water."
The name was later adopted by Livy.
From then on, 'Castle by the Strand' was used only as the name of the castle where Livy lived here.
The city was officially renamed "The City of Water."
