Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

The weather is getting colder and colder.

The water in the well is icy cold and almost frozen.

"You are freezing."

Levi hated that the water could not freeze.

Although the water did not freeze, the residents were about to freeze.

Passing by the vegetable garden that day, Levi took a glance and found a resident shivering while harvesting corn.

After working for a while, he ran to the campfire to roast, and then went back to work in the cold.

There are many people like him.

They don't seem to have any clothes to keep warm.

"This is not good."

Just when Levi was about to go to the warehouse to see if there were any warm materials, the community representative Old Wade came up first.

His purpose was the same as Levi's, to find a way for the residents to keep warm.

"Sir, we want to apply for some wool or leather to make clothes that can survive this winter."

"Approved."

There has been a lot of these two things stored in the warehouse for a long time, which is more than enough to make clothes for two hundred people.

"Take as much as you need. As the saying goes: don't save, but don't waste."

"Take what you need."

"Take what you need? I understand, sir."

Old Wade thought about this sentence, and Levi opened up the public resource box to him.

After taking a lot of tasks from Levi and helping Levi deal with a lot of troublesome trivial matters, Old Wade's reputation level has already reached [Resident]. He can open the public box placed by Levi and take out items from it.

From the perspective of outsiders, Wade's contribution is enough, and the lord allows him to use some magic props.

This makes some people work faster.

Residents can use wool and thread to sew normally, but for the approaching winter, their production speed is too slow.

In the end, Levi synthesized a bunch of identical clothes for them in batches.

There are three types of equipment materials that can provide cold resistance and are relatively low in cost: leather, wool, and wolf fur.

The latter two are not in the original synthesis table, but added after contacting the corresponding items.

After solving the basic living problems, looking at the increasing supplies and the growing reputation of the residents, Levi felt that it was time to plan the subsequent levels.

At 50 reputation, you can become a [Practitioner], synthesize better tools, and at this level you can choose a work block to "get a job" and learn to make items.

For example, a tailor can use a loom to work efficiently.

Although the loom can only be used as a flag pattern in the game, it can indeed play the role of a loom here.

In other words, the career choice of residents is not casual. He must first really learn this craft before he can choose to work.

Such a relatively healthy growth route is completed.

From tourists to residents is the process of obtaining the qualification to stay, and from residents to practitioners is the process of learning skills, and then it is to improve expertise and continue to develop to a higher level.

"The development of the territory is booming."

Levi couldn't help but sigh.

Just when everything was on track, the residents had no problems for the time being, and the territory's resources began to grow steadily, a guest arrived.

Gandalf.

It had not been many days since the two of them parted. After sending Bilbo home, Gandalf returned the same way and headed straight for Levi.

Swish——

Looking at the rapidly rising new city gate, Gandalf nodded, saying, "Your city gate is finally no longer a decoration," while walking inside.

"My intuition tells me that something big has happened."

"Something has happened."

Levi walked side by side with Gandalf and said, "I recently collected some people and established a camp."

"After all, such a big place must have some talents, otherwise it will be too quiet."

"That makes sense."

Gandalf looked at the people who were working and said with approval, "The ancestors of these people may have originated from the Kingdom of Rhovanion, and they are the same as the people of Rohan. The golden hair is the best proof."

"It is appropriate to choose them as people. This bloodline is brave and has a rebellious spirit. In times of crisis, women dare to take up arms and join the battle."

"And they all look good, and there are no evil people."

As he spoke, Gandalf suddenly stopped, as if he was thinking about something.

"Wait, did you just say that you established a camp-are you sure you mean a camp, not a new territory?"

"That's right."

"Hiss-"

Old Gandalf took a breath.

"I've never heard of this news. Let me guess. You just established it in the past two days, right?"

"Yes, including the city of Dale, I decided to call all the territories the 'Free Cities'."

"Levi, the Lord of the Cities." Gandalf muttered.

"Okay, it fits your style."

He accepted it immediately.

After spending a long time with Levi, Gandalf would not be surprised if he suddenly turned into a dragon, let alone establishing a new force.

No, no... This is still quite outrageous and unlikely.

"The people here seem to be quite rich and energetic. It makes people curious about how you manage it."

"It's more troublesome to explain."

Levi shook his head and invited Gandalf into the castle to chat under the curious eyes of some residents.

He was the first to speak and asked Gandalf: "What are you going to do next, continue your adventures and travels?"

"Adventure...yes, I plan to visit some places."

Gandalf said seriously: "Levi, I suspect that the enemy's ring did not flow into the sea. It may still exist somewhere, but it has not returned to the hands of its true owner."

"Why did you come to such a conclusion?" Levi asked curiously.

You must know that most members of the White Council agree with Saruman's statement, that is, the ring has been washed into the sea along the river.

It stands to reason that even if Gandalf doesn't like Saruman very much, he still obeys many of the views of the current white-robed wizard.

"My hunch."

Gandalf replied: "I always feel that this matter is not that simple. Sauron's power is showing signs of recovery. I have been feeling quite uneasy since I escaped from Dol Guldur last time."

"After some time, I plan to go to the Anduin Valley and the surrounding areas to continue investigating. Maybe there will be some clues."

Wizards' premonitions are always quite accurate.

"Well, good luck to you then."

After speaking, Li Weishun sent a small commission to Gandalf:

"By the way, if you meet refugees or people who can't survive on the road, you can direct them to me. The roadside fort is very big and can accommodate many people."

"Of course, this matter is not urgent, just do it casually."

The main focus is on random development.

"I'll help you with this."

Gandalf nodded in agreement.

"One more thing."

Levi suddenly said: "Gandalf, in my own name, I want to entrust you with something, something that may or may not happen in the future -"

"If I die one day, can you please take my body back to my territory?"

Gandalf raised his brows and gave Levi a meaningful look.

After a moment, the wizard nodded.

"Yes, of course, we are friends after all, right?"

"If that day comes, I will find a way."

"Even if I'm no longer in this world by then."
