The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 28 The Deal with the Woodland Kingdom
The harvest season is approaching, and the villagers in Wilderness Village are very busy. They not only have to guard the fields, but also often hunt and collect wild fruits at the edge of the forest in groups.

The villagers who undertook the construction of the city wall began to work after dawn every day, and often had to work until evening before returning home.

This kind of working hours, which seems like exploitation to Allen, doesn't seem to matter much to the villagers.

Allen said, "What's the matter? When I used to hunt, I stayed up all night in order to hunt down prey. At that time, I was even more tired than now."

"It doesn't matter, as long as I can eat enough and eat well, I can still be tired." The words fell into confusion.

Allen found Yatiman and told Yatiman that it is necessary to arrange for the villagers to rest in stages, and they cannot work continuously for a long time, which is prone to safety problems.

Yatiman told Allen with a confused face that he had arranged to work for an hour and rest for 10 minutes.

After getting the answer, Allen left the construction site with an embarrassed face, and he should always trust professionals.

And the five dwarf blacksmiths were assigned to Frey by Allen. After all, this young man was the first blacksmith in the village.

Allen also used dinars to buy a considerable amount of pig iron, and handed it over to several blacksmiths. The requirement was to build enough spears to equip the more than 1000 troops that could be recruited.

There is no way, if you want to form a certain combat power in a short time, the spear is the best weapon.

Especially facing the half-orcs in the Misty Mountains, they are extremely poor in discipline.

As long as Alan's army can form an army formation, as long as the number of orcs is not too large, Alan feels that there is no big problem in a face-to-face confrontation on the plain.

As for armor, which is particularly scarce, Alan has no way to equip them yet.

I can only wait until I have money in the future and consider buying it from the simulator, but it will be very expensive.

The simulator is not discounted, even if it is the cheapest leather armor, it is impossible to buy thousands of sets without hundreds of thousands of dinars.

Therefore, Allen urgently needs trade now, and it is not realistic to buy from Iron Hills, it is too far away.

Nor would Thranduil necessarily approve of the passage of dwarf goods through him.

Allen thought in his heart that when he has the strength, he must open up the old dense forest road, and then collect taxes there, and collect heavy taxes.

Allen thought bitterly, but he knew that this might not be the case by then.

The most important thing for Allen now is to open up a trade route with the Woodland Kingdom.

Now that there are a lot of people, building simple roads is not a particularly difficult job.

Still the same sentence, food is very important, Allen doesn't want to stop building the city wall, and he doesn't have too many dinars to buy food.

Allen focused on Desaiwei, and he needed Desaiwei and himself to go to the Kingdom of the Woodlands to discuss the details of the trade.

Desaiwei was very surprised when he heard Alan's arrangement.

The girl said unconfidently: "My lord, have you thought about it? I have no experience at all. I think Jamila should be more qualified for this job. I usually do patrol work quite well." OK."

Allen waved his hand with an encouraging smile on his face.
"Desaiwei, it's okay, you don't need to have experience, and you don't have to worry too much about not being able to complete this task. Your ability in investigation can be used just right. What I need is a team leader, not a businessman. Believe me , you would be very, very well suited for the task."

Desaiwei heard what Alan said, and said: "As long as you think I can do it, then I will try my best to complete what you entrusted to me."

On the second day after discussing with Desaiwei, Kress's face was full of displeasure.

Allen announced that he would take some people to the Woodland Kingdom again, but Kress was not on the list.

And Allen also asked Jamila to keep an eye on Kress, and not let her slip out quietly again.

Kress was very angry about this, until Alan came back from the woodland kingdom, Kress forgave Alan, of course, this is a later story.

In order to put on a show, Allen spent thousands of dinars to buy wine from the continents of Pendor and Calradia.

Loaded them onto several flatbed trucks and set off with Desaiwei and some woodland residents.

Allen also brought Yatiman with him, in order to let Yatiman arrange for people to build a road leading to the Elven Trail.

Finally, after spending about ten days, the group arrived at the gate of the Elven Trail again.

At this point, Yatiman followed the people back to the wilderness village, and soon he will arrange for people to build this more than 100-kilometer-long path.

Fortunately, Allen's requirements are not high, as long as it is one meter wide, barely enough for a flatbed truck to pass through.

If the road is repaired, then horse-drawn carts can be used to transport goods.

On the way back, Yatiman roughly calculated that this road will have to be repaired until next spring, and the spring plowing next year should not be delayed.

It's just that the construction of the city wall may take a little time, and there are too many things that Allen ordered.

He kind of missed the days when everyone else went out to fight and he had nothing to do.

The Elf Trail is not suitable for flatbed vehicles, and most of the roads inside have steps.

Allen and his party left the car behind, and led the horses carrying the wine barrels into the elf trail.

After traveling less than two kilometers on the road, they encountered the guards of the Woodland Kingdom, and the leader of the team was actually Galian.

Galian was not the elf responsible for the investigation, and his age could be considered an elder among the elves.

His position was that of the wine supply supervisor for Thranduil.

In the original book, it is because he drank too much wine that Bilbo seized the opportunity to escape, and at the same time he personally sent the members of the Lonely Mountain Expedition out of the woodland kingdom.

It is conceivable that the old elf must have stayed in the king's dungeon for a long time before he could dispel Thranduil's anger.

At this time, Galian was still in good shape, trusted by the king, and was waiting for Alan's wine here.

Galian is an old alcoholic who is not weaker than Thranduil, and his wine taste is quite high.

After he learned that Alan had become the new alcohol supplier, he made a special trip here to wait for Alan.

His reasons are also very good. If the wine can't get into his mouth, then don't transport it to the Woodland Kingdom, so as not to waste the king's time.

Allen didn't think there was any problem with this. As the supervisor responsible for supplying red wine to Thranduil, Galian had the right to do so.

So Allen didn't mind, and directly took two small glasses from the two wines and handed them to Galian.

As soon as the first glass of wine from the mainland of Calradia entered his mouth, Galian knew it was good.

This is no worse than Dovinian's wine, Galian nodded secretly, sure enough, this trip was worth it.

When the second glass of wine from the Pendor Continent entered his mouth, Galian noticed something was wrong.

This wine is not only delicious, but also unique.

After drinking it, there was actually a slight force emanating from the wine, enriching his body.

Galian felt as if he was more real in this world.

He was surprised, he didn't expect that a village with thousands of people could provide such excellent wine.

He just heard that the elves in the valley can brew a kind of honey wine called Mijuwo, which has the effect of invigorating and rejuvenating. He didn't expect to drink a different kind of wine today.

"Can I have another drink? Just this one."

Galian handed the second wine glass to Alan, and Alan could tell that Galian was very satisfied, especially for the wine from Pendor Continent.

Allen thought that he was satisfied, and took another glass of wine and handed it to Galian.

After the old elf drank it again, he was sure it wasn't his hallucination.

He excitedly said to Allen: "This wine is really great, even better than Dovinian's. No, Dovinian's is not comparable to this. Let's go quickly, I Can't wait for His Majesty the King to taste it too."

Allen was very surprised by Galian's praise. It's not that he has never drank these two wines, and he didn't feel any difference.

Allen preliminarily speculated that the first one is that the elves have a special physique and have a special sensitivity to things produced by the magical world.

The second possibility is that the wine produced in Pendor Continent is special. After all, there is magic energy in the environment there. God knows if there is such a thing in the wine.

Allen's conjectures were correct. What he didn't expect was that his own physique was also very special and he couldn't sense this kind of energy.

Regarding magical energy, the first thing Allen thought of was the magic addiction in World of Warcraft.

But after thinking about it, alcohol itself is very addictive, so it's time to see Thranduil's reaction.

If he doesn't like it, it's better to offer Calradia's wine, and don't let this affect the friendship between the two factions.

Led by Galian, the group quickly walked towards the Woodland Kingdom along the elf trail.

What was different from the last time they walked all the way was that a few days later, everyone came to a small river, where several elves were already waiting for them in small boats.

Galian told Allen that the boat was because he passed the message to His Majesty the King through the birds, and His Majesty the King counted the time and arranged for someone to pick up the group.

After the people unloaded the wine from the horses to the boat, a few people and a few elves were left watching the horses.

The rest went in boats along the river to the halls of Thranduil.

Standing on the boat, Allen felt that the elf's boat seemed to be magical. He didn't see how hard the elf was pushing the boat, and the boat rowed a long way, fast and stable.

Galian thought that Allen was interested in the river, and because of the good wine, he was willing to chat with Allen.

He told Allen that this is a magical river. Except for the elves living in the Black Forest, anyone who enters the vicinity of this small river will fall into sleepiness, or even fall into lethargy in severe cases, and it will take a long time to wake up .

Allen knew these things, but he couldn't show them.

I can only pretend to be very interested, asking about things I don't know, such as where the magic of this river comes from.

The answer Galian gave was King Thranduil's magic, but Alan wasn't too sure if it was true, as there was no record in the information he knew.

The time passed slowly while the two were chatting, and Allen felt that the small boat arrived at its destination after traveling for half a day.

And Thranduy was already waiting for Allen in his hall.

Seeing Alan again, Thranduy showed a slight smile on his face.

He learned from the bird's mouth that Alan had brought an unusually good wine, and he was eager to taste it.

He stood up from the table in the banquet hall and greeted Allen.

He said in his mouth: "Alan, welcome to my hall again. If the bird's words are correct, you seem to have brought a very good wine. I really want to know what kind of wine is worthy of Galian. Such a compliment."

"I think it should satisfy you, Your Majesty."

After Allen finished speaking, he handed the wine in his arms to the serving elves, and he and Thranduil sat back at the long table in the banquet hall.

Soon, the elf came with a crystal glass filled with wine.

As a king, Thranduil lifted the crystal cup on the table very gracefully, and drank the wine from the continent of Pendor.

After drinking it, Thranduil knew that this wine was worthy of Galion's praise.

Thranduil felt that this wine did have some extraordinary effects, making the energy in his body more active.

This is indeed different from ordinary wines. The most important thing is that Thranduil did not detect any bad things in the wine, such as the power of darkness.

Thranduil was particularly curious about where Allen got this wine.

But the reservedness of being a king did not allow him to express his doubts.

Thranduil knew that this must be an undisclosed secret of the Allen clan, and spying on such secrets would probably sever the friendship between the two clans.

However, secrets cannot be probed, and the price can still be negotiated. Thranduy discussed the details of the trade with Allen calmly.

Through Thranduil's performance, Alan knew that the king was satisfied with the wine, but Alan didn't know how satisfied he was.

The two discussed for a long time, and Allen felt that he had taken advantage of the negotiation, and he thought he had obtained a very favorable price.

That is grain that is ten times the original value of wine. The price of a barrel of wine is 120 dinars, and now you can exchange for grain that can only be bought for 1200 dinars. If you trade at this price, Alan will not be able to There will be another food crisis.

And Thranduil also promised that he would not only provide food, but also order the elves to keep repairing the forest trails.

At that time, he will load the food on a boat and transport it to the junction of the Magic River and the trail, where Alan and the others will pick it up.

For the friendship between the two, Thranduil will not only send Alan a large number of pack horses, but also arrange elves to ensure the safety of Alan's caravan in the Black Forest.

Allen thought for a while, and he traded more than a dozen barrels of wine to Thranduil every month, and the food in exchange was enough for his own needs.

The only troublesome thing is the problem of transportation, which will be solved by the elves in the future. Thinking of this, Allen always wonders if Thranduil has suffered a disadvantage.

Thranduy had the same thought, and he also felt that he had taken advantage of this transaction.

This special wine can't be considered at the price of regular drinks. He always feels that this kind of wine will bring good changes to the elf's body.

Although the Woodland Kingdom does not produce food, there are large plantations on the plains to the east of the Black Forest.

Thranduil only needs to exchange some of the trade share of wine for grain, and some merchants will come to the door with grain.

In this way, the two people who felt that they had taken advantage happily negotiated the details of future transactions.

After the negotiation was settled, Allen left the Woodland Kingdom without stopping, and took Desaiwei towards the Iron Hills.

Allen didn't have the idea of ​​doing business with Ironfoot Dyne, but since he came out and dropped by, he naturally went to see his friends.

Dyne happily received Alan, and greatly praised the ale brought by Alan, and jokingly complained that Alan brought too little ale.

After living here for two days, Allen took the ten dwarf swords that Dyne gave him and set foot on the way back
In short, Alan returned to Wilderness Village again, and it was another month later.
