The City of Dawn was even more beautiful at night.
Fireflies flew through the air and the wetlands like scattered stars, embellishing the darkness and adding a sense of mystery to the beautiful wetlands. Street lamps that looked like bell flowers could be seen everywhere. They emitted a soft glow and illuminated the footsteps of the pedestrians.
If there was a gust of wind, the branches and leaves of the zither vine would sway slightly, producing a heavenly sound. If the Elves weren't resting, they would choose to gather in their own treehouses. They would chat and laugh happily, and even sing songs that drifted through the night sky.
Sheyan was currently in the tallest treehouse in the City of Dawn. This was also Melody's residence. Segimli and Elder Annenia Xaro were beside him. In front of Sheyan was a huge magic sand table that was at least five square meters in size.
Annenia Xaro pointed with his finger and the magic sand table began to emit a soft glow. Soon, one could see that the magic sand table was actually showing the detailed topography of the City of Dawn. It was extremely realistic.
Whether it was the wetlands, lakes, floating war fortresses anchored by the shore, the Seawoods City behind, or even the Balrog sealed in the belly of the mountain, everything was shown in detail. Even the few caves that had been excavated at the side were still vivid in his eyes.
Looking at the huge sand table, Sheyan couldn't help but feel proud. The entire City of Dawn was built according to Sheyan's vision. Witnessing its rapid growth and expansion gave him a sense of accomplishment.
In fact, when Sheyan heard that Melody had a group of followers, the construction of the City of Dawn was already part of his plan. However, his initial plan was far from being as large as it was now.
The reason was simple. If you wanted Melody to pull a group of followers away with her, you would have to solve the two major problems of housing and security. This was actually similar to courting girls. If you had a small apartment, then there was a 50% chance that the girl would leave with you. If you didn't have a house, then it would be difficult to get a marriage certificate.
The appearance of Octopus Paul, this X factor, slowly allowed Sheyan's plans to flourish. Brother Paul actually managed to deal with the Balrog. Therefore, the Mines of Moria, which was incomparably rich in mineral veins, had become Sheyan's bargaining chip. Even if the Gimli clan refused to cooperate, the other dwarven clans would definitely scramble for it.
Thus, the first phase of the construction of the City of Dawn was quickly built. But to be honest, it was just enough to appease the Elves that Melody had abducted from Rivendell.
Fortunately, the various resources plundered from Rivendell were extremely plentiful. They had all kinds of magic crystals, so Sheyan did not have to think about anything else. A large number of Elves followed Sheyan's ideas of "wetlands" and "city in the sky" and began to improve the City of Dawn. For example, the magic formation that absorbed the power of the Balrog, the confessional of the Sun God that was previously used to deprive Glorfindel of his power, and the floating city made of seawoods were all completed during this phase.
At this time, Sheyan fully witnessed the might of the combination of Elven magic and Dwarven construction methods. The City of Dawn really changed greatly every day! It gave people a brand new surprise.
The second phase of the Elves' plan was to rebuild an Elven town called Tesdale on top of the ruins of the Orc city outside. The town had two uses.
First, when the Elves were tired of living in the wetlands and the city in the sky, they would have the opportunity to experience life in a snow-covered forest.
Second, there were too many secrets in the City of Dawn that could not be revealed. Furthermore, Melody Sunstrider had not fully grasped the secrets of the Ring of Air, Vilya, so it was not suitable for outsiders to enter. The small town of Tesdale would be a place to receive guests and communicate with the outside world.
After Glorfindel's arrival today, Sheyan now had complete control over the security and internal stability of the City of Dawn. From now on, Melody's position was as stable as Mount Tai. She was vaguely the Queen of Dawn. Even if Sheyan left this world, he would not have to worry about a fire in his backyard. He could breathe a sigh of relief.
If there was one thing that Sheyan was worried about, it would be the Balrog.
If his memory wasn't wrong, in the correct storyline, the Fellowship of the Ring would spend the night by the lake, before being ambushed by the Ocean-freak of Moria. In the chaos, they would flee into the Mines of Moria, where they would be ambushed by the Balrog....
But now, the Ocean-freak of Moria was living happily with Paul. A large number of Dwarves and Elves could easily provide delicious food for the two "Holy Beasts" every day. Therefore, the Ocean-freak of Moria was probably not interested in hunting anymore.
The Balrog was currently tied up like a dumpling. Its body temperature was used to heat the City of Dawn and the surrounding areas. It must be known that the area where the Balrog stayed for a long time would automatically turn into magma. Therefore, the magic formation only used the Balrog's body temperature to restrict its freedom. It would not threaten its life at all. In other words, even if Gandalf wanted to challenge the Balrog, he would have to ask the people of the City of Dawn for permission!
It was precisely because of such a huge change to the storyline that Sheyan always felt very uneasy. The guy from the Stockholm Party must have also greatly changed the storyline. Therefore, Sheyan was completely at a loss about the future. It was as if his eyes were covered by a fog.
"My dear friend, I'm here to tell you a piece of good news." Segimli noticed the awkward silence. He was originally a chatterbox, so he volunteered to shoulder this heavy responsibility.
Sheyan's eyes lit up and asked.
"What's the good news?"
Segimli happily replied.
"We've already opened up a path to the Mines of Moria by following the underground veins. Everyone is very excited now. Judging from the wounds on the Inoka (a type of lizard raised by the dwarves. It can also be used as a hunting dog or scout) that we've released, they must have been attacked by some undead creatures and half-orcs. But for the warhammers of the dwarves, it's a piece of cake to get rid of those things."
Sheyan nodded.
"Oh, those things are indeed not worth mentioning to the brave warriors of the Segimli family."
"Not only that, my friend! My good friend Bronzebeard couldn't hold back his thirst for the mines and disregarded the rules to sneak in on his Inoka! "Segimli danced with joy as he replied.
Segimli continued, "Most importantly, he returned safely three hours ago. Although he was punished by the elders and not allowed to drink ale for three days, he brought back a piece of good news. There are seven rich mines underground that can be mined at any time! The facilities left behind by the Dwarves when they evacuated are still intact. Once we get our hands on them, we can start mining them immediately. Each mine can last us a thousand years! Our only worry now is that we are lacking in manpower! "
At this point, Segimli was already dancing with joy.
"Furthermore, he confirmed that the Balrog imprisoned in Dawn City was the same Balrog that once occupied Moria! The biggest threat had been eliminated. Although the place had been abandoned for thousands of years, he could still see the glory of the largest city of the dwarves in the past. It was divided into eight floors, and each floor had a large number of arched passages. Most of the rooms and halls had black walls that were as smooth and shiny as glass. The lower floors were mostly mines, treasure vaults, and prisons! Wow, there's also the legendary Turin's Bridge and Endless Stair. That's so cool! I can't wait to step into it! "
Elder Annenia Saro smiled and said,
"Moria in the past was called Caen Dûm. It was built by us Noldor Elves and the great Dwarves. The great Lord Calebor personally recorded this glorious deed using mithril. Now, with the cooperation of us Sin'dorei Elves and the Segimli Dwarves, Moria will definitely be restored to its former glory as the number one Dwarven city in the continent."
After pondering for a moment, Sheyan suddenly said with a heavy expression.
"Mister Segimli, I have to say with regret that the news you just brought isn't good news. I hope to meet with your uncle and the elders of your clan within half an hour and discuss this matter with them."
Segimli asked in astonishment.
"Not good news? Hell, if this isn't good news, then what is? Alright, alright, I'll inform them right away. But my uncle should be brewing a pot of ale and leisurely eating Dwarven cheese right now. If you don't have something important to say, he'll be very angry. "
Half an hour later, the Gimli tribe placed great importance on Sheyan's opinion. Thus, all the influential figures of the tribe had arrived.
Sheyan glanced at the simple and honest faces of the dwarves, bluntly and bluntly asked.
"I've invited everyone here to ask a few questions. If you can answer them, then everything will be fine."
Old Segimli was a little angry, but he still patiently said, "Alright.
"Alright, ask away."
Sheyan pondered for a moment and said.
"I've just heard that your noble clan has confirmed that the threat within the Mines of Moria is very small. Furthermore, there are no less than seven incomparably rich large-scale mineral veins. My first question is, are the large-scale mineral veins in the Mines of Moria comparable to the rewards offered by the Shari-Arakat convention?
