Chapter 60 The Whole Story

The city of Dawn looked even more beautiful at night.

Fireflies flitted through the air and wetlands like scattered stars, dotting the darkness and adding a touch of mystery to the beautiful wetlands. Lantern plants resembling bellflowers were also everywhere, emitting a soft light that illuminated the paths of pedestrians.

When the wind blew, the branches and leaves of the hanging zither vines would sway slightly, producing a heavenly sound. If the elves weren't resting, they would choose to gather in their tree houses, chatting happily and even singing songs that drifted into the night sky.

Fang Senyan was in the largest tree house in Dawn City, the residence of the Mist Song sister. Beside him were Mr. Gimli and Elder Annelise Salo, and in front of Fang Senyan was a huge magic sandbox spanning at least five or six square meters.

Annelise Salo pointed a finger, and the magic sandbox began to emit a soft light. Soon, it became clear that the magic sandbox showed a detailed terrain of the current Dawn City, and it was vividly realistic.

Whether it was the wetlands in front, the lakes, the war floating fortresses moored on the shore, or the City of Haisen Wood in the back, and even the Balrog sealed in the belly of the mountain, they were all meticulously detailed. Even the several caves excavated next to it were clearly visible.

Looking at the huge sandbox, Fang Senyan couldn't help but reveal a sense of pride in his eyes. The entire huge Dawn City was built by Fang Senyan's own hand according to his ideas. Witnessing its rapid growth and expansion, it must be said that there was a full sense of accomplishment.

In fact, since Fang Senyan heard that Mist Song had a group of followers, the construction of Dawn City had been included in his plan, but the initial plan was far from being as large as it is now.

The reason is very simple. If you want Mist Song to pull up a flag and gather a group of people, then you have to solve the two major problems of housing and security for others. This is actually similar to chasing girls now. If you have a small apartment, then the girl has a 50% chance of going with you. If you still have no house, then it will be a bit difficult to get a certificate.

The appearance of the x factor, Paul the Octopus, gradually enriched Fang Senyan's plan. Brother Paul was able to successfully clean up the Balrog, then the Moria mines, which were incredibly rich in ore and had amazing reserves, became Fang Senyan's bargaining chip. Even if the Gimli family was unwilling to cooperate, the rest of the dwarf families would definitely flock to it.

Therefore, the first phase of the Dawn City project began to be built rapidly. However, to be honest, it could only barely satisfy and appease the people who were abducted by Mist Song from Rivendell.

Fortunately, the various resources plundered from Rivendell were extremely rich, and magic crystals were readily available. Then, Fang Senyan didn't have to consider anything at all. A large number of elves followed Fang Senyan's ideas of "wetlands" and "aerial city" and began to improve and transform Dawn City, such as the magic circle for imprisoning and extracting the Balrog's power, the Sun God's Confessional used to strip Glorfindel's power, and the floating city made of Haisen wood. All were completed during this phase.

At this time, Fang Senyan fully witnessed the power of the combination of elven magic and dwarven construction methods. Dawn City really changed drastically every day! Giving people a refreshing surprise.

Next, the second phase of the elves' plan was to rebuild an elven town called Tesdale on the ruins of the orc city outside. This town has two uses.

One is to give the elves a chance to experience life in a snow-covered forest when they are tired of living in the aerial city of the wetlands.

The second is because there are too many secrets in Dawn City that cannot be revealed, and Mist Song Sun Chaser has not fully grasped the secret of the Ring of Air, Vilya, so it is not suitable for outsiders to enter easily. The town of Tesdale will be a place to receive guests and communicate with the outside world.

After Glorfindel came today, Fang Senyan can now say that he has completely mastered the hardware environment, security, and internal stability of Dawn City. From then on, Mist Song's position is as stable as Mount Tai, and she faintly has the air of a queen. In this way, even if Fang Senyan leaves this world, he doesn't have to worry about a fire in the backyard and can breathe a sigh of relief.

If Fang Senyan still has any worries, it is the problem of the Balrog.

If he remembers correctly, in the correct plot, the Fellowship of the Ring spent the night by the lake, and then was attacked by the Haiqimujia. They fled into the Moria mines in the chaos, and then were attacked by the Balrog...….

However, now the Haiqimujia are happily living with Brother Paul, and a large number of dwarves and elves can easily supply these two "sacred beasts" with delicious food every day, so the Haiqimujia probably won't be interested in hunting anymore.

And Brother Balrog is now tied up like a dumpling, using his body temperature to provide heating for Dawn City and the surrounding areas. You must know that the area where the Balrog stays for a long time will automatically turn into magma, so the magic circle actually only uses the Balrog's body temperature and restricts its freedom, and will not threaten its life at all. That is to say, even if Mr. Gandalf wants to challenge the Balrog, he has to ask the people of Dawn City if they are willing!

Because such huge modifications have been made to the plot, Fang Senyan has always had a very uneasy feeling, and the guys from the Stockholm team before must have also greatly changed the plot, so he also feels completely at a loss about the future that is about to happen. He has a kind of illusion that his eyes are covered by mist.

"My dear friend, I'm here to tell you good news." Mr. Gimli noticed that the atmosphere was a bit cold, and he was a talkative person, so he volunteered to take on this important task.

Fang Senyan's eyes lit up and said:

"What good news?"

Mr. Gimli said happily:

"We have followed the underground water veins and opened up the road to the Moria mines. Now everyone is very excited. Judging from the scars on the Inoka (a kind of lizard raised by dwarves, used for transportation underground, and can also act as a hunting dog and scout) that we released, they encountered some undead creatures and orc attacks, but for the dwarves' war hammers, it is very easy to deal with these things."

Fang Senyan nodded.

"Well, these things are indeed not worth mentioning to the brave and good at fighting Gimli family warriors."

"Not only that, my friend! My good friend Copperbeard couldn't restrain his desire for the mines, and sneaked in riding an Inoka despite the ban!" Mr. Gimli gestured with his hands and feet:

"The most important thing is that he returned safely three hours ago. Although he was punished by the elders for not being allowed to drink ale for three days, he brought back great news. There are as many as seven rich ore veins underground that can be mined at any time! The facilities left by the dwarves when they evacuated before are still intact. We can start mining as soon as we get them. Each ore vein can be mined for a thousand years! Now our only happy trouble is that there are too few people!"

Speaking of this, Little Gimli was already dancing with joy.

"And he is sure that the Balrog that is now imprisoned in Dawn City is the one that used to occupy Moria! The biggest threat has been eliminated. Although it has been abandoned for thousands of years, he can still see the glory of this largest dwarven city in the past. It is divided into eight floors, each with a large number of arched passages, rooms, and halls with mostly black walls, smooth and bright as glass, and the lower floors are mostly mine shafts, treasure vaults, and prisons! Wow, and the legendary Bridge of Durin and Endless Staircase are just too cool! I can't wait to step into it!"

Elder Annelise Salo smiled and said:

"In the past, Moria was called Khazad-dûm, and it was built by our Noldor elves and the great dwarves. The great Celebrimbor himself recorded this glorious deed in Mithril. Now, Moria will surely be rebuilt under the joint efforts of our Sindar elves and the Gimli clan of dwarves, and will once again become the glory of the first dwarven city on the continent."

After thinking about it, Fang Senyan suddenly said with a somewhat heavy expression:

"Mr. Gimli, I regret to say that what you just brought is not good news. I hope to see your uncle and the elders of your family within half an hour and talk to them carefully about related matters."

Mr. Gimli was stunned and said:

"Not good news? Damn it, if this isn't good news, then what is? Okay, okay, I'll go notify them, but my uncle should be brewing a pot of ale and comfortably leaning on a lounge chair eating dwarven cheese. If you don't have anything important, he will be very angry."

Half an hour later, the Gimli tribe still attached great importance to Fang Senyan's opinion. All the prominent figures in the tribe who could come came.

Fang Senyan looked at the furry, honest faces of these dwarves and said very directly:

"I invited everyone here just to ask a few questions. If you can answer them, then it's fine."

Old Gimli was a little annoyed, but he still patiently said:

"Okay, ask."

Fang Senyan thought for a while and said:

"I just heard that your tribe has determined that the threat in the Moria mines is very small and that there are as many as seven incredibly rich large ore veins. My first question is, can the large ore veins in the Moria mines compare with the rewards that can be obtained at the Shariah Alacarte Conference?"
