Journey of the Infinite Wizard

Soon, the Durin dwarves in the Misty Mountains clearly conveyed the news, confirming the trade relationship between the two tribes. Since then, the Iswil elves and the Durin dwarves have formally established a trade relationship between the two sides. Not only that, but the Durin dwarves even sent a team of thousands of dwarves to help the elves build a city. They formally confirmed the relationship between employer and servant with the elves. When the dwarves were working for the elves, the elves provided them with drink and food, and the wine from the elves made the dwarves very happy. In comparison, their home-brewed wine is like horse urine, unpalatable.

With the joining of the dwarves, many elves can finally be liberated from heavy physical labor. They turned to grinding and carving rocks, painting exquisite patterns and murals on them. Or transport large boulders from the top of the mountain, and carve out exquisite stone carvings one after another. At the same time, many elves began to level and strengthen the land of the future city. They either used tools or piled up manpower to compact the soft soil, spread the gravel on it, and then compacted it again. And repeat this process many times, and then cover the strip stone, and then glue it with a special adhesive. In short, this repeated process is a waste of time and things, but no one thinks that this repeated road construction process is a waste of manpower and time.

This kind of action of repeated ramming and repeated reinforcement of the road is stronger than the road paved with cement and asphalt. Besides, the style of the elves is like this, even if they are building a road, they must pursue perfection. Because the urban roads built have undergone repeated and careful measurements, and the errors are extremely small. In addition, the paving stones and slabs have also been carefully polished, so that each slate is almost in a state of tight fit. Moreover, they also excavated urban infrastructure such as sewers for drainage.

Soon, a steady stream of trade materials was transported to the large construction site of the elves by inland river transport ships. In addition, dwarves came down the mountain one after another, and they helped the elves build cities as servants. Most of them are grinding stones, excavating soil, handling and other work. As for the construction of the city wall, all the elves are in charge. After all, the key to city defense is very important. They don't want the dwarves to know their city defense system, and they don't want the dwarves to know the construction process and structure of the bastion.

In this era of cold weapons, a bastion is definitely an insurmountable weapon. Without the help of firearms, it is difficult to capture a fortress city guarded by a bastion with a trebuchet. Not only that, they also think that the city's terrain is raised. In some low-lying areas and dangerous low-lying areas, use soil and stones to heighten and reinforce them. And build a city wall on it to integrate with the overall city defense of the city. In these areas that are easy to be breached, many defensive measures have been built.

The dwarves were amazed at the construction and design of the elves' city defenses. These sophisticated city defense systems and city layouts were a city defense design that the dwarves had never seen before. However, the dwarves didn't think such a city defense was anything special. Although it did make their eyes shine, the Durin dwarves also didn't think that their city lost to the elves below the mountain. That's because their city is completely hidden in the mountainside and spreads underground.

In fact, if it weren't for the dwarves becoming too greedy in later years due to the influence of the Lord of the Rings.

They kept digging gold, silver and other minerals underground, which awakened the sleeping Balrog. This led to the decline of the once prosperous dwarf kingdom, and the Durin dwarves had to migrate to the lonely mountain to rebuild their homes. The latter, too, was destroyed in the flames of the dragon Smaug.

Speaking of Smaug, it must be said that all the dragons in Middle-earth were bred by Morgoth. He bred a new species of dragon, a powerful and extremely long-lived species. And spread his power into the life of his creation and corruption, strengthening the power of these evil creations. But at the same time, Morgoth's behavior also exhausted his own strength. He has now lost his power, not only the ability to change the cloak of the flesh, but also the ability to create life, and his identity as Vera has been stripped. He rarely appeared outside of Angband now, and even when he went out, he would bring his own army with him, and he was surrounded by Balrog's guards.

The current Morgoth has to say that he is quite sad.

Although, he created many evil beings and brought colorful species to this Middle-earth world. However, it was also because of his actions that his power scattered into the bodies of his minions. Although the strength of the minion has been strengthened, but he himself is inevitably weakened. Ugoliante is an excellent example. She was a deity under Morgoth who was lured by him and fell. When Morgoth was imprisoned by Vera in the Mandos Palace, Ugoliante took the opportunity to get rid of his control. . Moreover, after absorbing the vitality and light of the Two Sacred Trees, Ugoliant became very powerful and had grown to the point where even Morgoth was afraid. When the treasure was divided, Ugoliant forced Morgoth to give up the Silmaril. Finally, Morgoth anxiously called for the Balrog, and then expelled Ugoliant under the flames of the Balrog.

Therefore, the defeat of Morgoth, the dark enemy, was inevitable.

Going back to the other side, although the dwarves were impressed by the elves' city defense design, they didn't have any other ideas. They've gone so far, I mean, with the Elves of Yswyr. What they dare to be most interested in is the food from the elves. The colorful vegetarian dishes are matched with meat, wine, and spices, thus giving birth to delicious dishes with bright colors. The long endless time is enough for many excellent elves to develop, to study what they like, and to develop it to the peak.

Moreover, Jiang Ning is very clear that the era belonging to the elves is only three eras! And within these three eras, the dwarves and humans were catching up, so that in the third era... no, or in the second era, the elves had no advantage against dwarves and humans. Because whether it is dwarves or humans, their own civilization development has reached an extremely high level in the second era. They are not inferior to the elves in all aspects, but they are not as good as the high elves who were active in the first era.

And this situation was completely reversed in the third era. The entire world has been filled with human figures, and their footprints are almost all over the world. Their population is also the largest. Any big battle between elves and humans will end after a war. The elves can't afford this kind of casualty, but for humans, this kind of casualty is nothing at all. After several decades of training, their population will double again. Therefore, the future era belongs to mankind, and the world also belongs to mankind.

And Jiang Ning knew that this would happen in the future, how could he not have his own plan? In fact, he is adjusting the way of thinking and behavior of his people, and he is adjusting his people with his own strength. Let them subtly change according to their own way and the way they want. The long years of three epochs, or the thousands of years that he himself felt, should be able to develop a certain scale of his ethnic group.

In this regard, Jiang Ning already had a very clear plan in his heart. And the corresponding education plan, but due to the reason that the city has not yet completed, these measures cannot be realized one by one. The moment the city is fully built is the time for him to implement his plan. However, before that, he had to start thinking about the special planning constraints of Middle-earth World.

That is a terrifying rule that even a powerful evil god like Morgoth was suppressed to the point where he almost lost all his power! Jiang Ning himself also has a good understanding of this point. When he was in Valinor, because the rules in Aman were different from those in Middle-earth. The environment there is very loose, referring to loose rules. This can be seen from the casting of the Silmarillion. If he were to create the Silmarillion in Middle-earth, Jiang Ning would not be sure, the rules here were too restrictive.

Not only people are suppressed, but even supernatural objects are the same. The powerful mana of his divine sword Kunguhar and the Lord of the Rings in his hand was suppressed to a very low level by the rules. In addition to the huge vitality, the mana was suppressed very badly. The same is true for him himself. The mana he has accumulated for hundreds of years in Valinor is far from being able to fully utilize it in Middle-earth. It seems that Iluvita doesn't want this world to be like this, maybe because of the Valar?

Jiang Ning knew that the Veras would be afraid of a group of humans in the future, fearing that they would land in Aman Island! (Nummanel) Jiang Ning is not very clear about the reason for this. Maybe it is the change of the rules of the world, or it is because the thinking of Westerners is different from that of Easterners. It's hard to imagine that a high and mighty god would be afraid of mortals!

It was difficult for Jiang Ning to understand at first, but when he was in this world, he could somewhat feel the reason. It's very simple, you can guess it, the strictness of the rules in this world is really abnormal. Not only is there suppression from the rules, but also the ground under your feet will also be suppressed!

Morgoth's terrifying power, in addition to the power scattered into the species he created, part of the power is double suppressed from the earth and the rules. Make him almost reduced to a mortal! In addition to this reason, Jiang Ning guessed that Iluvita deprived him of his Vera identity. (Ainu)

You must know that the Ainu were born in Iluvita's mind, and he lit an inextinguishable fire for them. Likewise, this unquenchable fire not only created the universe, but also created power and life. Even the firstborn children of Iluvita, they also contain an inextinguishable fire. Elves naturally contain it, and this inextinguishable fire is the key to ensuring elves' eternal life like Vera and Maia! It is also the key to ensuring that the first generation of high elves are tall and strong with special abilities.

As for why the descendants of the elves lost their tall stature and special abilities, Jiang Ning guessed that maybe this inextinguishable fire is not eternal. It will also be extinguished, and it will gradually shrink and wear out. Although the lives of the elves were guaranteed, very few elves in the era of the Double Sacred Tree survived safely. Many of the Noldor and Teleri were dead except the Elves in Valinor. And when Cirdan arrived in the third era, he was already the oldest surviving elf, but his appearance was very old, which probably has something to do with the unquenchable fire!
