Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

"What a big change."

Looking at this bustling urban area, Levi couldn't help but sigh.

Compared to Roadside Fort, River Valley City has far more people. As long as there are enough resources and housing, they can immediately form a complete city and operate all facilities.

There is no shortage of merchants in the market, no shortage of guards on the city walls, no shortage of residents in the houses, and no shortage of children playing on the road.

This is the current state of River Valley City.

Merchants-yes, there are many merchants here.

Unlike Roadside Fort, the residents of River Valley City still maintain their original living habits and systems, balancing the wealth in their hands according to past experience, so that they can flow normally and play the role of general equivalents.

Although the circulation of currency and the transaction of wealth are still retained, the lower limit of the living standard of people here has obviously been greatly improved, almost to the previous upper limit.

Even though there are many differences from Roadside Fort, it has also achieved that people with low labor and laziness can live well, and hardworking people and people who work more can live better.

Bard is not the kind of person who would hold on to his wealth even if it rots, and would not give it away.

He is not the kind of person who would hide good things and good things, fearing that others would use them to live a good life.

Only evil dragons like to do that.

And whether Bard or Levi, the two people who participated in the dragon slaying, were obviously not corrupted by the evil dragon.

The dragon slayer was stained with dragon blood, but did not become an evil dragon.

They did not care about the flow of their wealth - of course, they certainly did not mindlessly throw it into the sky and let people pick it up by themselves.

Instead, they distributed it appropriately according to the situation, allowing it to flow out reasonably, so as not to destroy anything at once.

"Lord, this is for you!"

While walking, looking left and right at the scene on the roadside, suddenly a child ran over and handed the item in his hand to Levi.

It was a small box wrapped in brightly colored paper.

"What is this?"

Levi squatted down, asked the child curiously, and gently touched his head.

"I made this gift myself!"

"You just need to pull this little rope, and it will open with a 'snap', and then you can see what's inside!"

"Okay, okay."

Levi smiled and said, "Thank you, kid, I'll open it carefully."

"I'm looking forward to what's inside."

"Yeah!"

The child nodded and ran back to his home happily.

Levi took the small gift box, asked a little, and turned a few corners to find where Bard lived.

"Your place is really inconspicuous."

"It's okay as long as it's habitable."

Bard opened the door and welcomed Levi in.

The place where he lived was no different from the residents, just an ordinary small house. If it wasn't pointed out, no one would know that the person living here was actually the deputy of the Valley City, the dragon slayer Bard.

"Isn't there a hall left by your ancestors at the highest point of the town? Why don't you live in it?"

The building at the highest point of the Valley City... It's actually a little small to call it a hall. A more appropriate name should be "palace".

"It's not finished yet."

Bard shook his head and said, "And there are still residents without homes. How can I let them waste time on that huge building? This kind of thing should be discussed after the residents' lives are stable."

"Also, I'm just the deputy of River Valley City. Even if it is repaired, you should live there."

"My current house is fine."

Levi shook his head: "Although that's what I said..."

"But as a lord, I don't seem to have done anything except claiming the territory."

"Don't say that, Levi."

Bard said in surprise: "You haven't done anything? No, you have done too much."

"The towering and solid city walls, thousands of iron golems that protect the safety of the city, magic seeds that can grow quickly, and the magical construction magic that can cut building materials and move them quickly..."

"Almost all the real wealth here is created by you, and I just do some insignificant management on these basis."

"In fact, it won't be too bad if someone else comes."

"Okay, okay." Levi couldn't listen any more.

"Don't belittle yourself. Change someone? Why don't you change Alfred?"

"If you are allowed to live here, then live here. I am not without a home. That hall is not to my liking."

Levi has seen it now.

Bard is a man of virtue and talent, but he seems to be a little unambitious.     No... Actually, this is not right. It cannot be said that Bard has no ambition. After all, before the war started, he was still interested in participating in the selection of the mayor of Changhu Town. It was just that the former mayor had been suppressing this matter and it was not carried out.

Now he looks a little lazy, just because the people around him are too strong.

If there is no king in River Valley City, he would be willing to be the one to take the lead, but now there is a legend who is more capable than him in all aspects.

Bard just wants to lie down.

"Are you really willing?"

Levi sat at the table in front of the fireplace in the cabin and asked Bard opposite.

"This is the legacy of your ancestors. If Smaug hadn't suddenly come and destroyed everything, you would have been the lord of Dale City now."

"And I just said one sentence, and you gave up the right to inherit this territory."

Bard shook his head again: "That was my own will. Besides, even if I don't let it out, what can I do? Although it was prosperous in the past, that was only in the past. It was just a ruin at that time. I can't do anything."

"Instead of entangled in the inheritance of a ruin, it is better to give it to someone who needs it more and can play a greater role."

"It's not necessary, but it can play a role."

The ownership of River Valley City was just because the situation was a bit urgent at the time... Like this city, Levi can build a bunch of it at any time if he wants.

Levi thought about it and said: "Long Lake Town and River Valley City... These two places are closely connected and should not be separated."

"Then you merge these two places?" Bard proposed.

"Good idea."

"You will be the [Consul] of these two places in the future."

"Ah?"

"The direct manager of these two places."

"Okay."

Bard chose to accept it.

If someone else decided such a big thing casually, he would definitely give some opinions, but Levi...

It's not bad to listen to his arrangement.

In fact, even the former mayor of Changhu Town had used sweet words to gain Bard's temporary loyalty.

Facing the former mayor of Changhu Town, he might still be a little reluctant.

But now.

It's good.

Bard nodded.

The major event involving the jurisdiction of an entire area was settled in a few words.

From then on, Changhu Town was also included in Levi's territory, and the residents there soon learned to "fish" with a kind of fishing rod that looked a little fuzzy.

Various aquatic products will still be the characteristics there.

The matter was big, but the reactions of the two were not big.

Levi really didn't take this piece of land to heart, and Bard was just used to it.

At this moment, the chief governor of the valley looked at Levi and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, I am a little concerned. What is the one you have been holding in your hand...?"

"A gift box, a child gave it to me."

Levi raised the small box in his hand and shook it.

"Oh, it's this."

Bard understood: "This is a specialty toy of Changhu Town. You can open the package and the box directly by pulling the rope."

"Usually, this kind of toy contains some small candies or other souvenirs."

"According to my experience, judging by the sound, the one in your hand should contain..."

"Stop!"

Levi hurriedly stopped Bard:

"If you tell me, there will be no surprise. Let me open it myself."

"Okay"

Bard blinked, looking innocent.

Levi sighed and said:

"But it's rare to find someone as calm as you."

"If everyone can value home more than gold and power, then the world will be much better."
