Chapter 229 Dalu Town
"Outside the gate, from now on, the journey will never end~"
Bangdang... Bangdang...
The carriage swayed slightly, and the people on it also swayed occasionally.
There was a not-so-beautiful humming sound coming from there. It was ordinary, but it attracted the attention of many people in the team.
"The lord is singing."
The two rangers with the keenest ears heard the source of the noise.
As the carriage gradually moved forward, the group of people finally escaped from the dark and uneasy land.
It is vast and barren, with not only no trees and grass, but also no broken trees or broken rocks. It is a truly lifeless land.
That's the impression it made on everyone.
Of course, it wasn't born that way.
This was all the result of Sauron's "scorched earth policy". He sent out an army to burn and bulldoze everything in this land. Even after more than three thousand years, it was unable to recover at all.
Later this land became known as "Brownfield".
The humming stopped when the caravan reached the ancient crossroads leading to the eastern Rovanian Gate on the southern side of the Black Forest.
Two roads.
Continuing along the Anduin Road is the Anduin Valley, which is the territory of the Beorn family.
Walking along Rovanian Road is the Free Cities River Valley area.
"Take Rovanian Road."
Levi gave the order.
So the caravan started again.
On the way, two rangers approached quietly, and soon this small movement was noticed by Levi.
"What's the matter?"
"No!"
"It's just... we're just a little curious about the song you just sang."
"Oh, this."
Levi changed his position and continued to lie comfortably, and said: "I learned from Gandalf, the gray-robed wizard who is also my friend."
Gray robe wizard…
"Are there any other wizards?"
the young ranger asked curiously.
"Yes, but I have only seen four of them. One of them was kidnapped by another wizard before I could see him."
"Taken away?"
Upon hearing this word, the two of them became even more curious.
So Li Wei talked about what he had seen.
As he narrated, not only the two rangers, but also other people in the caravan who could hear listened carefully. Those who could not hear also moved closer out of curiosity.
The journey was uneventful.
After walking slowly for a few days, the caravan finally crossed the bridge at the rushing ferry and officially entered the river valley area.
Along the road, a new gathering place appeared in front of everyone.
Parkway Town.
This is a new gathering place established by the River Valley District in this area in recent years. It is located at the intersection of River Valley Road, Rovanian Road, and Eastern Avenue, which is also the origin of its name.
A year ago, when Levi nodded and included this place into his territory, Bard immediately led people to build a town at the intersection of three major roads. When the major road town was built at an incredible speed, many guilds and markets also followed. Establish.
Gondor, Rohan, Dale City, Black Forest, Iron Hills, Dovinion, even Rune in the Far East and the Red Mountains in the Far East, regardless of safety, in terms of routes, all roads lead to it. Parkway Town.
Due to the geographical location and the security provided by Levi's territory, a large number of traveling merchants store goods here, and it seems to have the tendency to become a northern logistics transfer center.
Today it is increasingly prosperous.
The carriage gradually drove into the bustling market.
At first, when Li Wei and his caravan entered Dalu Town, not many people paid much attention. After all, caravans like this have been seen a lot since the establishment of Dalu Town, and there are many larger teams than this one.
Only when the flag with only one name on it unfolded in the wind did people realize where the caravan was.
Roadside Fort - the legendary first city of the Free City west of the Misty Mountains, and where Levi lives.
I heard that people there live more prosperously and peacefully than in the river valley.
When they heard the news, many people couldn't imagine what life was like, because in their opinion, the valley area was already wealthy enough. Everyone had a house to live in, no shortage of clothes, no shortage of food, and they could still live in it. Enjoy the best education and work in your favorite industry after graduation.
When the river valley jurisdiction developed, hunger and wandering no longer existed in a large area around it, and there were fewer bandits and robbers. This was enough to see how outrageous it was.
Better than a place like this, what would it be like?
Are everyone a millionaire?
They couldn't think of anything more.
But this does not prevent people from casting curious glances.
"Hey, are you from Roadside Fort?"
Soon someone brave enough to strike up a conversation and ask questions.
"yes."
Charlie, who was sitting at the front, responded enthusiastically.
People in Dalu Town are curious about Roadside Fort, but people in Roadside Fort are also curious about the outside.
"How did you get here? I heard that the road hasn't been put into use yet."
"Of course, come over here."
Charlie said: "From the roadside fort to the south, across the Lonely Land, across the Essen River, through Rohan and Gondor, and then all the way north, coming from the Black Gate."
"Black Gate!?"
Now everyone around who heard it was shocked.
"Oh my God, weren't you stopped by those Orcs of Mordor? I heard that there were caravans who boldly set foot on that gray plain, and then there was no news about them again."
"Is it very safe over there recently?"
"No, no, no, don't think so."
Charlie said seriously: "We dare to go there because--"
As he spoke, his eyes drifted back.
"Why?"
The person asking the question followed Charlie's eyes and drifted back.
Then he saw a person sitting up.
Well, now I know why.
"Unless you have thousands of well-equipped elite guards, it's best not to go there."
"With less than a thousand people, you may not even be able to stop their vanguard team."
Levi said his opinion calmly.
Hiss--
"It's the Lord!"
Someone shouted, and a lot of heads popped out from the roadside. People outside turned around and looked here, and people in the house opened the window and stretched their necks to look out.
"Okay."
The person asking the question stood there, and for a while he was still a little unrecovered.
"Well, yes, yes, indeed, in this case, it should be the group of orcs who should hide."
"Wait, are the goods escorted by the Lord himself?"
He suddenly realized and hurriedly followed the crowd to the place where the Roadside Fort caravan stopped.
"Let me see what's going on!"
The goods and specialties of Roadside Fort are actually no different from those of River Valley City and Changhu Town, and there are even more types of goods here.
In terms of price, the two places are similar, and the quality is quite stable and uniform.
But the composition of this caravan is quite unique.
"Don't buy, don't buy, those are the specialties I want to bring to everyone in Roadside Fort!"
Charlie shouted, hurriedly packing up the stalls and loading the car, protecting the specialties of other countries that the residents commissioned to buy before departure.
Levi clapped his legs and laughed.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Quickly packing up the things, the caravan rushed out of Dalu Town and headed towards Changhu Town along the River Valley Road.
