#184 - Returning MC!
Since he had already agreed to work for Gandalf, Liang Yue put his words into action and officially entered the land reclamation and farming mode.
In fact, although the terrain of Lonely Mountain was relatively high, it shouldn't have lacked water because it was surrounded by tall mountains and snow peaks, and the snowmelt from the high mountains.
However, whether it was due to some black magic or a vicious curse, since Smaug's invasion, the original paradise, which was enough to support the cities of Durin and Dale, had officially entered a severe winter.
The weather began to become unusually cold, as if it had suddenly entered a mini ice age.
The ice peaks on the mountains, the rivers formed by the meltwater, and even the moats in front of the two cities, etc., had been in a state of frozen ice.
To this, Liang Yue expressed that he had no way to deal with it…
After all, neither normal climate change nor the field of mystics such as black magic were his forte.
What this guy could do now was to try his best to construct a water source area based on the terrain of the mountain valley in front of him, using the infinite water source characteristic of the MC world~
For this reason, after finishing his morning practice and having breakfast, Liang Yue began to pull Alwen and hike towards the surrounding mountains.
Since he was going to invest in water and dig lakes, what he had to do first was naturally to observe the surrounding terrain, and then find a suitable place to build lakes or other water surface forms according to local conditions.
"What do you think of that side? The terrain undulates little, and it's only separated from the two cities by a mountain. It looks very suitable~"
"According to the information I learned from the sand table before, that area was originally a forest, but it was later burned to ashes by Smaug's dragon flame. Thorin and the others seemed to be discussing what trees to replant there before."
"Oh~ What about the other side then? Although the mountain range there is a bit more undulating, it is located below the snow line, and there are vaguely several sunken ditches connected in the middle.
If there could be a stream of living water pouring down from above at this time, it would inevitably form a smooth river, and when it fell down the mountain, it could even create a continuous scene of cascading waterfalls.
Just thinking about it is beautiful~!"
"Those several sunken ditches were originally the original river channels on Lonely Mountain. Although they have begun to become dry all year round due to Smaug's invasion.
But occasionally entering a period of hot weather, new water flows will form."
"Okay…"
…
"唳~~~"
Just as Liang Yue was holding Alwen's little hand, standing on a bare mountain head in his mind, pointing out the country around him.
A long eagle's cry suddenly came from the sky behind him.
The two immediately looked back and saw Gandalf in the blue sky above, wearing a pointed hat and sitting upright on the back of the giant eagle Rachel, looking like a worldly expert.
Vaguely, he seemed to be showing a meaningful smile to the two of them.
And next to him, Bilbo Baggins was also impressively on the side.
At this time, this little hobbit was waving goodbye to the two with an excited look.
Although the time spent on this expedition was not long, Bilbo's days away from his hometown added up to less than half a month.
However, such a period, involving the racial conflicts between dwarves and elves, all kinds of grievances and feuds, the fate of countries and races, the war against justice and evil, etc., can be called an epic experience.
And Liang Yue, this knight who came from another world, righteously slayed dragons, fought against evil orcs, and finally won the favor of the elven princess, and saved his life several times during the entire remote journey.
Presumably, he will also occupy an important position in his life's memories, right?
"Have a good trip~!"
Under the sunlight, Liang Yue and Alwen were standing together at this time, waving goodbye to the two who were about to take the eagle away.
…
A flash of brilliance, a change of light and shadow in front of him.
After a full half year of training, Liang Yue, this guy, finally returned to the stronghold world!
It was still the familiar library roof, still the bright night sky in the middle of the night, still the brightly lit small village, and the pure air with a strong natural fragrance lingering between the mouth and nose.
What was different was that at this time, there was no longer only Liang Yue alone in the stronghold world.
"Welcome back~!"
As large pieces of red rose petals were thrown into the air, and then slowly fell in the breeze, Teacher Shizuka plunged into his arms at this time.
In addition, Tokushima Son, Nanri Xiang, Takagi Yuriko, and Takagi Saya were also standing beside him, looking at him and the others with smiles on their faces.
On the wooden table not far away, there was a rich food being placed, and a strong aroma was wantonly scattered.
However, Alwen and the giant eagle Rachel beside Liang Yue, when they first arrived, were obviously still a little uncomfortable with the atmosphere here, and seemed a little restrained.
Although in the past six months, they had not had less video calls with Sister Zixue and others to deepen their understanding, the communication across the system and face-to-face were obviously two different states.
However, fortunately, they were not strangers to each other.
After a period of tentative communication in the style of greetings, they quickly started chatting together.
And before returning, in order to be able to integrate into the villagers' group as soon as possible, Alwen also took Rachel back to her home in Rivendell and Lothlórien.
She searched for a batch of gorgeous and beautiful elven jewelry and clothing to give to everyone as a meeting gift.
In comparison, the little female eagle Rachel was even more straightforward, directly from those giant eagle chicks that Liang Yue had successively sent into the stronghold world in the process of training in the past half year.
She promised five of them to Teacher Shizuka and the others as mounts.
This gift was definitely heavy, but someone's feeling was that Rachel was selling cubs…
In short, a welcome party that was not large in scale, but definitely not low in specifications, soon began grandly on the roof of the mountain village library in this quiet world.
With the blessing of various wines and delicacies, the atmosphere of the welcome party quickly began to become lively.
Due to her size, the giant eagle Rachel was a little difficult to integrate into, but fortunately, Liang Yue's language proficiency served as a bridge for communication, so she would not be neglected.
Moreover, at this time, in the large divided food plate placed in front of this little female eagle, it was dragon meat!
There were various steamed, roasted, fried, and fried dishes, and they were all full of portions.
Obviously, in order to truly allow the giant eagle Rachel to feel the atmosphere of returning home, instead of being excluded and treated differently, Yuriko and the others had also put in a lot of effort!
On the other hand, Liang Yue's side, with the appearance of the elven princess Alwen, especially after Takagi Saya, Teacher Shizuka and others became familiar with her, this male compatriot was completely neglected on the side.
Between women, there seems to be a natural existence of endless topics to talk about.
And for a group of women living in modern cities, the elves like Alwen who only exist in fantasy legends have a natural attraction.
The living habits, daily state, craftsmanship, and even the physical structure of the elves, etc., soon became the topic of their discussion along with the alcohol on their heads…
Seeing this, Liang Yue played a piece of background music for the women with a record player unique to MC, and then he very wisely slipped out of the banquet.
Holding a glass of ale in his hand, he slowly walked down the library and put some of the books and practice methods he had collected on this trip on a separate bookshelf.
Then, this guy went to the warehouse again and carefully sorted out the supplies in the storage space.
