Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

"A-choo!"

Far away on the other side of the Misty Mountains, Gandalf wiped his nose and wrapped his robes tightly around him.

He huddled on a piece of rotten wood, warming himself by the fire.

"The weather is getting warmer, spring is coming, but the ring is still missing."

"Maybe it's really not here anymore."

This place has lost its exploration value.

Gandalf stood up and looked at the Black Forest in the east, and then at the end of the mountains in the south.

Dol Guldur was captured not long ago, and there has been nothing unusual.

So... should we go to Isengard to have a look?

Gandalf couldn't help but light up a cigarette, and his face twitched.

If possible, I really don't want to see that mean white robe, but the most intelligent books in the world are basically in the tower of Isengard.

I have to go.

"Ah--"

With a long sigh, Gandalf finally chose to walk south and headed for the dark wizard tower.

While Gandalf changed his route.

An unexpected guest came to the roadside castle.

"Legolas?"

At the gate of the city, Levi called out in surprise.

Legolas nodded and saluted Levi: "Greetings, my friend, how have you been recently?"

"Recently? Very good."

"But I really didn't expect you to come."

"My father guided me here."

Seeing Levi, Legolas was also full of emotion. The battle of Lonely Mountain created many legends, most of which were about Levi.

What Wall Builder, Oak Star, Great Enemy, Walking Army, Iron Golem Summoner...

There are so many titles that I can't make them up.

"Thranduil..."

Levi's attitude towards this ally who gave him face was also quite friendly.

"In that case, then come in with me and take a look."

"But speaking of it, it's a coincidence that you came. We are about to hold a seven-day banquet to celebrate the establishment of Roadside Castle."

"Want to join us?"

"Banquet? Of course."

While walking into the city with Levi, Legolas looked up at the sky, as if he was thinking about something.

"This kind of commemorative day is very suitable for holding a banquet, just like our starlight dinner."

"I'd be happy to attend."

"It's a pity that you didn't see it. There are always rumors that elves never make fire when eating, but I have to say: those are all rumors. You can see a lot of things cooked by big fire at our banquet."

"I sincerely hope you can attend the next starlight dinner in the woods, Levi, but I'll ask for your forgiveness that I may not be there at that time."

"I'll go if I have a chance."

Levi agreed, and Legolas didn't continue talking. He just walked and looked at this busy territory curiously.

It was time to eat when they got to the castle. Levi made some relatively light food and took out some fresh fruits and vegetables as a treat.

After taking a bite, Legolas was stunned.

"This is better than any similar dish I've eaten before."

This sentence is particularly valuable when it comes from an elf.

"If it tastes good, eat more."

Levi is a little curious whether the elves can eat fat.

He has been to many places in this world and met many elves, but there is really no one who is out of shape.

"Huh——"

After a full meal, Legolas sat at the table, staring at the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's wrong, is there something that doesn't suit your appetite?"

Levi opened a barrel of fine wine from Dorwinion, poured a full glass, and handed it to Legolas.

"No, I can't find anything unsatisfactory."

Legolas shook his head, took the glass and looked at it, and then leaned over to smell it, and felt that the fragrance was quite pleasant.

Unlike his father Thranduil, the old drunkard, this young elven prince usually doesn't drink much, but thinking that it was handed over by Levi himself, and the wine smelled really good, Legolas paused for a moment and tasted it slowly.

Not long after, the glass of wine was finished.

Seeing Legolas's unsatisfied look, Levi smiled and filled it up again.

Maybe it was because he drank some wine, or maybe he had slowed down, Legolas started to talk.

"I don't know what to do."

"Until now, I don't know what love, family, and friendship are..."

"I tried to find them, went to Gundabad, Erebor, Long Lake Town, and River City, but I couldn't find the answer."

At this time, Levi also poured himself a glass of wine and sat on the other side of the table. He raised his glass and gently clinked it with Legolas, saying:

"Although I don't have much experience, if you ask me -"

"Love is neither the path under your feet nor something that stays somewhere fixed. It seems that as long as you walk far enough and go to enough places, you can find it."

"It should be from your heart - from the inside out."

"It's not that you suddenly know it one day, but like an opaque cup, you can't tell whether there is wine in it when you look at it from the side. Only when it is filled and the wine comes out from the top, you will suddenly know: Oh, that's it."

"I think it should be a process of accumulation."

"Is that so?"

Legolas asked, drinking the wine in one gulp and lost in thought.

"Uh, that should be it, right?"

Levi was also a little embarrassed, holding the table with one hand, trying not to knock it off.

After all, Legolas was guided here by Thranduil. If he didn't do anything, it would be a bit bad.

No matter what, let's give him this pot of chicken soup first.

"I still don't quite understand."

"Then stay here a little longer."

Levi pointed to the lively scene outside the window and said: "Live with the residents and try to blend in."

"Don't worry, they are very nice people and very enthusiastic. They won't reject you."

"Listen, feel, think."

"Maybe this will help you."

"I see."

Legolas put down his glass and said, "Please arrange a job for me and I will try my best to do it."

"Well... I don't know what you want to do, or what is suitable. So, you should go find the community representative Vader. Usually new people in the territory are given guidance by him."

It can be said that Legolas' temper is still a bit impatient.

As soon as Levi finished saying this, he hurried out of the castle and asked around where the 'community representative' Levi mentioned was.

However, something that surprised him was that the community representative was quite easy to find. When he came to the door, he even found that Wade was farming in his backyard.

So down to earth?

"Hello."

Legolas stood at the door and greeted Vader politely.

"Hello, young...ah, no, elf?"

"Well, you must be older than me. What's the matter?"

"Levi asked me to come to you. I hope you can arrange something for me to do."

"That's it..."

Wade put down what he was doing and became serious.

Judging from the name of this elf, his relationship with the lord should be unusual, at least his status must not be low.

The lord asked me to arrange things for him...

How about something more relaxed?

No, there seems to be no difficult work in the territory, everything is easy.

After thinking for a while, Old Wade said:

"plz follow me."

The community representative decided to follow normal procedures.

After all, with his lord's temperament, he always says what he says and never minces words or makes hidden hints.

In this case, just do your job well.
