The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

After some personal experience and Italil's introduction, Allen finally had a good idea of ​​the warships that formed the navy, and believed that the performance of these ships in all aspects was enough to complete the defense blueprint he had drawn for Fatis .

This can be regarded as fulfilling the main purpose of coming to Changhu Town this time, and arranging a new job for Fatis.

However, Alan, who had done all this, did not leave in a hurry, because Changhu Town, which had become a major trade center, was also his direct fief, but Alan, who had been busy with the war, had not stayed here even one day.

So taking advantage of this opportunity, Allen plans to live with Jamila in the palace in Changhu Town for a period of time to experience the customs here.

Although it was approaching the New Year at this time, Allen and Jamila arranged a period of vacation for themselves to relieve the increasingly heavy pressure in recent years.

As a king who is extremely responsible for the power in his hands, the burden on Allen's shoulders has never been easier.

However, there is no big problem for the two of them to leave the castle for a short time at this moment.

Especially with the development of commerce, agriculture, and breeding, Karl, Manid, and Tuoju have all defined their respective positions.

Although Alan has not yet given them the status of ministers, he has also assigned many young officials to the three of them. They can handle most of the complicated affairs by themselves, especially now that it is the end of the year, and there are not many things to deal with. Or it's almost done.

As for the banquet held by Fislet every New Year, it no longer needed the planning and supervision of the king and the prime minister two years ago.

The cabinet officials in charge of this matter will distribute the funds allocated by Allen according to the number of households in each community in the city, and then the committees of the communities will discuss it and organize it according to the preferences of the residents.

Residents who like food and wine will spend most of their money on food and drink to satisfy their appetites with laughter.

And those who like to sing and dance will also spend money on building stages and purchasing gorgeous clothes for performances, gradually enriching the inventory of the community, so that they have more choices when performing performances.

At the beginning, Allen held this banquet to celebrate everyone's harvest in the past year, and the main purpose was to make the residents happy and increase their sense of identification with the king.

According to Allen's previous life experience, if people can make decisions with money, they should be happier than attending a fixed banquet. Anyway, Allen, who participated in the annual dinner party at the end of the year, thinks so.

Moreover, this banquet at the end of the year can also greatly stimulate the commercial prosperity of the river valley. Merchants from all over the country, together with the local residents of Rovanian, will always bring the products they think are popular to the Philippines. Slater sells.

There are even many teams who are proficient in performances, and they come from all over the Middle-earth, just to put on a performance for the residents of this place on this day of celebration.

Of course, they will also get paid handsomely after the performance.

And on this day of celebration, there will also be some bards who come here admiringly, compiling the prosperity and abundance here into catchy songs and spreading them all over Middle-earth.

In the past, because there were too many evils lurking in the wilderness, and the road was very difficult and dangerous, no one was willing to cross the Misty Mountains to Rovanian.

However, as the dark forces in the north suffered a major blow, the Orcs and Wargs who managed to escape their lives began to hide in the dark tunnels and lick their wounds. In addition, Allen also arranged a large number of troops to conduct investigations along the way .

As a result, the number of travelers on the road has gradually increased, which is a good thing for the entire Middle-earth.

As for those farmers who responded to the cabinet's call, they did not live in the city because they were reclaiming farmland outside. For them, Allen's approach was also very simple, that is, to buy money into some easy-to-store New Year's goods.

Such as sausages, pickled ham, honey, various candies, and fruit wine, and then arrange for their own men to distribute them.

Allen, who guards a large herd of horses, has never lacked transportation capacity. Spending some effort and money is nothing to him now. The most important thing is to let everyone feel the generosity and kindness of the king, and let them know that every day On this day of the year, the king is having fun with them.

As for the above arrangements, Jamila will send cabinet officials to monitor and deal with them, while Allen will send his "animal friends" to conduct further secret observations.

Although Rovanian's folk customs are still quite simple, power and wealth will continue to corrupt people's hearts after all. More supervision is always good, so that Allen can be punished when bad signs first appear. Perform a thunder strike.

As for Alan and Jamila, they plan to spend the new year in Changhu Town this time.

Changhu Town, which has now been rebuilt, is quite different from the past. The old city that was burned by Smaug has been completely abandoned, especially the cruel and evil fire dragon, which just fell in the center of the town before it died. It makes people afraid to approach it.

And for the gold and treasures that fell from Smaug, there are indeed "warriors" who have the courage to go to the center of the town to take risks. Yelling frantically, he jumped into the lake and quickly swam back to the shore.

And after returning home, he was seriously ill, and it took several months of recuperation to barely get rid of the influence of the dark power.

Smaug itself is a weapon of war created by Morgoth to fight against the Valar. Even in a dead state, the fear and evil radiating from his body are enough to scare away ordinary humans, and counting those hard bones all over his body With teeth, there is no material worth utilizing.

Because their hardness is all supported by dark power, and as the power dissipates, these bones will soon be weaker than steel.

And what the "warriors" have experienced makes everyone dare not approach there again. Even if people are on the shore, they can faintly see some shining gold and treasures.

The current Changhu Town is mostly the same as Alan's original idea. The urban area is mainly built at the southern angle between the Jungle River and the Changhu Lake, protected by a circle of brick and stone walls up to six meters high. For masonry structure.

When Allen was thinking about this, he also considered that residents living above the water all year round would actually be extremely harmful to their health, so he put the main city on the shore.

But there are always some people who believe in tradition, they just like the previous life and are willing to live above the water, so after the completion of the main city, they still built a water town smaller than the previous scale on the northernmost side that the city wall can protect. , as the sub-district of Changhu Town.

Most of the people living on it are former old residents. They like to make a living by fishing, and occasionally make some small objects for sale with the help of their previous craftsmanship.

Most of the northern humans who have been migrated by Allen over the years live in newly-built urban areas. In addition to opening up some farmland outside the city, there are also some older and wise people who have started to work. commercial sale.

The main reason is that the market in Changhu Town is built on the shore of the new urban area. In addition to the market for trading and shops selling various supplies, there are also taverns where people can drink fine wine and living quarters. Most of the inns are built in this area.

Therefore, this urban area on the bank is generally called the land of gold by outsiders who come here to do business, as if all the gold flowing in the river has gathered in this area.

The locals in Changhu Town call this place a business district. There is no way, most of the names chosen by Allen are so simple and unpretentious.

As the saying goes, those who are close to the water first get the moon, and under the circumstances of many conditions, those northerners with business experience, naturally, under such an environment, became the first group of people to get rich.

Of course, they also pay the most taxes.

Although Long Lake Town has begun to bring a lot of wealth to the Rovanian Kingdom, in Allen's view, this place actually has one of the biggest shortcomings, that is, merchant ships from the south cannot directly dock at Long Lake town.

Instead, the goods must be unloaded under the waterfall at the south end of Changhu Lake, and then the goods must be pulled by carts to the commercial area of ​​Changhu Town, where they will be loaded on a ship and transported to Gushan further away.

The same is true for the goods that come down from the Lonely Mountain. In Allen's view, this is too troublesome. If the caravans of the Kingdom of Gondor and the Kingdom of Rohan also come here to trade in the later period, wouldn't they have to line up to transport the goods? ?
So after wandering around with Jamila for two days, Allen decided to ask the dwarves to help him complete a not particularly complicated project.

That is, next to the road on the south side of Changhu Lake, two waterways for transportation are opened to connect to the rushing river flowing south.

The waterway near the west is mainly for ships traveling from north to south, which means that merchant ships coming down from the lonely mountain can directly enter the rushing river through the waterway, saving the trouble of loading and unloading goods.

As for the waterway near the east, Allen plans to use the power of the waterfall falling into the water and convert them into the power to pull the boat to the long lake, but this may be difficult to achieve with human means, and the help of the dwarves is needed.

Alan, who has always been a bit vigorous in doing things, after carefully thinking about the feasibility of the plan, took Jamila and the two personal guards and prepared to go to the Lonely Mountain to see his good friends. The matter was entrusted to Thorin to see if the dwarves could complete the idea in their hearts.

It's just that on the way to the Lonely Mountain, Alan is not alone. A group of black-haired dwarves from the Far East formed his journey partner.

Since the Durin clan returned to the Lonely Mountain and made it prosperous again, dwarves from other clans would come here from time to time to communicate and learn, or to complete some transactions.

After all, the Durin dwarves who once accepted the Firebeard and Broadback clans can be said to have mastered the most high-end wrought iron craftsmanship and construction technology in Middle-earth.

For the Dwarves of the Firebeards and the Broadbacks had learned from the Noldor and the Sindar the secrets of the crafts of Valinor long ago in the First Age, and the Noldor had learned from Auri, The skills of the Sindarin were learned from Maia Melian.

And with the end of the War of Wrath, the once glorious city of Firebeard and Broadbacks also became ruins with the sinking of Beleriand. At that time, most of the dwarves of the two tribes also entered Kazadum, That is, Moria at this time was integrated into the Durin family. Of course, they also brought with them the exquisite craftsmanship they learned from the Eldar.

And the dwarves with black hair, iron fist, hard beard, and stone feet who awakened in the east are naturally inferior to the dwarves of Durin in all aspects. After all, Sauron who occupies there will not teach others knowledge with good intentions.

All races that have received the favor of the Demon King will inevitably pay a price that cannot be recovered. Anyone who does not believe this can look up the endings of Tar-Falazon and Celebrimbor from the ancient books.

In short, during this time when Durin returned to the Lonely Mountain and Sauron hibernated, the dwarves in the Far East began to deepen exchanges with the Durin family, and both sides benefited a lot from it.

The dwarves in the Far East can bring more knowledge back home, and Durin can also gain more population. There are always some dwarves who are nostalgic for the Lonely Mountain and choose to be loyal to Thorin, and they often join a small tribe directly, rarely The loyalty of the dwarves is also evident when a single dwarf abandons the leader he is loyal to.

As for the dwarves of the black-haired family, Allen has always had a good impression of them, just because he once got news about Ashur from a certain black-haired dwarf. In his opinion, this can all be united. Against the power of Sauron, one can count as one.

And after being ambushed by the dwarves on the rushing river, Allen has been very entangled. During the few nights of rest in Changhu Town, he often couldn't sleep with Jamila in his arms, thinking about how to solve the hidden danger of the dwarves, but thinking about it There is no particularly good way to go.

Are the Far Eastern dwarves not allowed to enter their own country?However, many dwarves have paid a huge price to set up shops in Changhu Town and Feislet, and through several years of operation, they have gained a good reputation in the local area.

Is it necessary to expel them all on "unnecessary" charges?
If this kind of thing is not handled well, it is not an economic dispute at all, but a diplomatic issue, which is likely to affect the friendship between humans and dwarves. This is something Allen does not want to destroy anyway.

So the matter about the dwarves was put on hold for the time being, and it happened that he could also discuss with Sorin to see if he could do anything, after all, the dwarves were more familiar with the dwarves.

If it really doesn't work, Allen remembers that there is a gem in the Magic Continent, which can help its owner identify where the enemy is. If there is no other way, he can only try his luck from the simulator.

The leader of the dwarves who was traveling with Alan was a stocky dwarf named Tiehar. He was wearing a jet-black leather armor, with messy black hair and a copper ring inlaid with black gems, and his long hair His beard is tightly bound into three strands by a ring made of gold.

And most of his subordinates are also dressed in this way, except that there is no copper ring on the head, and the metal ring that confines the beard is made of silver.

Their unusual silence, which was advancing on foot, was in stark contrast to their leader Tehar.

During the chat with Tiehar, Allen learned that he was bringing hundreds of people with him this time, and he was going to defect to Sorin II. After getting off the dozen or so people around him, he had experienced quite a lot of hardships along the way.

And on this point, Allen naturally feels the same, because he himself has been victimized by the Dongyi people. The northern humans who were planning to take it slowly lost more than half of their population directly under Ashur's aggression. In any case, it was a heavy loss.

So the two who had the same experience quickly started chatting and headed towards the lonely mountain together.

In fact, the gem that can identify the enemy is the favor of the sky that Alan has already won. However, I changed it to the magic. The gem that can identify the enemy will become the gem of the earth, because the earth always knows all the secrets. Of course, Every gemstone has two attributes, and the bosses can guess what the second function is, a very routine ability.
