Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

The construction of the Hell Road is destined to take a lot of time.

Not only because of the long distance, but also because Levi had to clear all kinds of obstacles on the road while building. For this reason, he did not hesitate to dig through the Hell Fortress and the remains of the Piglins' activities many times, or blasted a whole piece of basalt.

Wherever Levi paved the road, the remains or fortresses that did not block him could be left as scenery. Any buildings blocking the road were directly and violently destroyed. The smooth road was above all else.

There was no need to worry about any monsters appearing on the road. Anyway, with Levi's current equipment, there was no threat here at all, just run over it.

Chop off the zombie pigmen that blocked the road, kick away the piglins that wandered around, and shoot down the evil spirits that screamed.

The Endermen who dared to look at the blocks passing by would be slapped.

But compared to the Orcs outside, the Endermen here seemed to be much braver. They dared to rush up with their mouths wide open and screaming after being slapped.

In the end, of course, they all turned into pearls.

Time passed slowly like this.

The people in the main world are working, and Levi in ​​Hell is also working. No one in the entire territory is idle, and everyone is busy.

The accumulation and development of the territory is very peaceful, without any accidents. During this period, the only thing Levi is concerned about is the dragon egg, which is still in the incubation process, and he doesn't know when it will end.

This doesn't look like the dragon egg he is familiar with - at least Levi has never seen a module with such a long incubation time.

Maybe it is really a local dragon.

But if that's the case, then the source of this egg is a bit questionable...

Nothing big happened for a long time in winter.

The only thing worth mentioning is that when the winter was almost halfway through, a wandering team of more than a dozen people appeared at the city gate.

They followed the guidance of the caravan and heard that this place is willing to take in hardworking and friendly people, and can provide them with shelter, warmth, housing and everything they need for daily life.

At Levi's instruction, after confirming that there was no problem with the identity of this group of people, they were soon let in and guided by the residents of the city, including finding a place to live, doing daily labor, and contributing to related affairs.

These refugees who had been wandering for a long time had never seen such a scene before. After confirming that the residents who guided them were not lying and that this place could indeed provide such treatment, they took an oath on the spot, including but not limited to loyalty to the lord, and working in the roadside fort for a lifetime, etc.

So far, they have become temporary residents, waiting to make enough contributions to become formal residents and truly become a part of this place.

"We originally lived in a small village east of Achet, and our life was pretty good."

After settling down a little, the man who seemed more prestigious in the team said:

"Until a group of hooligans and bandits appeared. They looted and smashed, leaving nothing in our village. All the food and the few silver coins were taken away."

"Then, they continued to go north and hid in the nearby woods."

"It's strange. Recently, many hooligans and bandits have chosen to leave the town and gather in the Chet Forest. All the villages on the road that have no resistance have been plundered by them."

"We are one of them. After the village was occupied and destroyed, we had to wander to a safer town nearby to find a place to live."

"Thank you, the kind lord, for allowing us to be reborn here. Life here is better than when we were the richest before."

Listening to the resident's story, Levi was also a little confused.

It's said that there are no hooligans and bandits in the nearby town. It turns out that they found that they couldn't survive, so they gathered together and went to the woods.

Chet Forest, if I remember correctly, is next to the town of Achette on the edge of Bree. As a town built on the forest, the log trade there is quite active.

Such a remote place can attract people, it seems that the caravan has traveled this road a lot.

"Have those bandits been active recently?" Levi asked.

"No, there has been no news of them in the past month. They are probably hiding."

"I have understood the situation. You can do your own things."

"Yes, sir."

The refugee team began to adapt to the new life and integrate into production.

Levi opened the map and searched for the location mentioned by the new residents.

It is not far, just north of Bree, close to the Greenway.

I remember that Gandalf also mentioned that place in a casual conversation. He was attacked there.

"This forest is still a little too free."

Levi closed the map and did nothing for the time being.

It is winter now, and the bandits have also robbed enough supplies. As the refugees who came to seek refuge said, they are all shrinking in the forest for the winter. It is difficult to find people even if they go there at this time.

But they are not engaged in production after all, and they have to move if they want to survive.

This will be their last plundering of the surrounding area.

When the first buds of spring grow out of the soil, that will be the time of their demise.

Keeping this in mind, Levi once again stepped into the Hell Gate and rushed to the front of the road.

At this moment, the length of this road is already considerable. Every time Levi comes in, he has to ride a horse for nearly an hour to reach the latest construction site.

It is estimated that this road will be completed before the end of this winter. By then, if Levi wants, he can run back and forth between Roadside Castle and River Valley City several times a day.

Although the residents of the two territories cannot meet often, they can meet the lord frequently.

Now the lord can go online occasionally.

This winter is not very cold, at least for the residents of Roadside Castle and River Valley City.

Since the Battle of Five Armies, the houses in the ruins of River Valley City have been repaired with the help of the dwarves and the efforts of the residents, and can accommodate many people to live here.

Some people choose to spend the winter here and never return to Changhu Town.

At the end of this winter, when the residents huddled in the house and roasted the fire quietly waiting for the arrival of spring.

On the edge of the city wall, a door made of obsidian suddenly appeared, and a purple light shone.

Levi rode a horse and walked out of it.

The movement of walking quickly attracted the sentinels stationed on the city wall. At first, the sentinels just looked at it curiously, and this one look immediately made him energetic.

"It's the Lord!"

The Lord is finally online!

Levi did not deliberately hide his tracks, and the news of his arrival spread quickly. Some residents left the warm stove, put on their coats and came out to look.

But before that, Bard found him first.

"Everything is going very smoothly."

"I can see that."

Levi nodded and said:

"No one here shows signs of starvation, and no one looks poor."

"It is foreseeable that perhaps in a few years this place will be able to return to the most prosperous time of the former River Valley City."

Looking at the ruins that are recovering, Levi suddenly said:

"But I think it's still too slow."

"I've been away for so long, I think I should also fulfill my responsibilities as a lord."
