Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth
Chapter 102: Talking about territory extension
Stable.
When Gandalf agrees to something, it's probably a sure thing.
"You may encounter many dangers on your way."
Levi said, taking out a few golden apples from his backpack.
"Here you can take these, you know what they do."
Gandalf did not take the apple immediately, but looked at Levi and asked:
"Aren't you coming together?"
"No, I plan to develop my territory first recently and won't take risks everywhere."
"After some time, maybe next year, or a few more months, when all the affairs in the territory are settled, maybe I will go out for a walk."
"All right."
Gandalf smoked Old Toby's pipe grass, a specialty of the Shire, and interestingly lit the smoke ring to look like a ship, letting it fly out the window.
I have to say that this hand is indeed very attractive. I wonder which child can watch it without being confused.
"Have you ever thought that that ring is with us?" Levi suddenly asked tentatively.
"I know what you're talking about."
Gandalf glanced at Levi and replied: "You mean the ring on Bilbo, right?"
Levi nodded and waited for his next words.
"That ring does contain some magic, but trust me, it can't be the ring you think it is."
"Why?" Levi asked.
"Because if it was really the One Ring, Bilbo would have gone crazy long ago."
"Don't underestimate that ring, Levi. It has a fatal temptation for all creatures in Middle-earth. Everyone who sees it will be like a troll whose whole body is stuck in the mud. A hundred I can’t even pull out an Oak.”
"Well, I have to say, your description is very vivid."
"Thanks."
Gandalf replied and continued: "If Bilbo's ring is really the Supreme Ring, then he should have left us and found a cave to hide, or Sauron would have found it."
"The ring is alive, it has its own will, and it is as proficient in bewitching as its owner. It is not the kind that simply makes people fall in a specific direction, but will infinitely amplify a person's inherent qualities. Certain traits or flaws in that person lead him step by step into the quagmire in the most favorite and least vigilant way, and he is ultimately unable to extricate himself.”
"Even I wouldn't want to touch that thing."
"I understand, this thing is indeed dangerous."
Levi had some new understanding of the Lord of the Rings.
It is indeed dangerous, and it is the kind of danger that is expressed in a very subtle way. It is like a traitor who can only speak pleasant words, luring those who are not determined to fall into the abyss step by step - in the way he likes.
Just like Gandalf.
If Gandalf got the Ring, given his temperament, he would definitely not use it to do bad things. The first thing he would think of would be to use this power to help more people.
But this kindness can also be his Achilles' heel.
In the beginning, he may only think about using his powerful power to help others, but as the erosion deepens, he may gradually be unable to simply help others. He will use his own power to shock others, or even directly conquer the world, and then next Order everyone in this world not to do evil.
In fact, it can be considered good to this extent, but as his "kindness" continues to deepen, he may continue to issue some more strict orders.
For example, "Everyone must help each other."
The next step is "everyone must do good deeds every day", and then "everyone must do as many good deeds as they can every day, otherwise they will be punished".
By then there will be one more "White Devil" in the world. This world is actually not much different from the world enslaved by Sauron. They are both equally painful and terrifying.
Even an upright, gentle and kind-hearted old man like Gandalf might become this extreme if he gets the ring.
Levi didn't dare to think about what the world would be like if he got the ring and was accidentally bewitched.
Success is considered a success if you can avoid being kicked out.
But speaking of the Supreme Lord of the Rings, it stands to reason that I have seen it with my own eyes, but apart from the confusion when I saw it for the first time, it has not appeared since then, nor has it spread its influence.
Even Levi felt like it was alienating itself.
Is this playing hard to get?
"As for the Supreme Ring, I will work together to find a solution."
"I'm going to try to fix it."
Levi said something rather vague.
"That couldn't be better."
Gandalf smiled, feeling that Middle-earth had another layer of protection.
Levi walked to the window and looked to the west, in the direction of Shire, in a daze.
What if we start the process of destroying the Lord of the Rings now?
No, it's actually not very realistic.
The world is currently in a relatively peaceful chapter, and the use of overly powerful power is prohibited.
If we organize an expedition directly at this time and disrupt the rhythm, I am afraid it will cause many difficulties.
Even Levi himself may become one of the difficulties.
'Let's wait until Bilbo comes. ’
The small talk with Gandalf ended quickly.
Gandalf just had a meal here, and then left again, hurriedly running eastward, which was the direction of the Anduin Valley.
Before leaving, he took a golden apple with him.
None of them moved.
Wizards know how to exercise moderation.
After sending Gandalf away, Levi walked around the territory, looking at the residents who were digging stones, the growth of the vegetable fields, and then the tree farm to check the wood reserves.
With the enthusiastic work of the residents, the basic materials in the territory are now quite abundant.
"Maybe it's time to do some other work..."
Mining.
Before the adventure started, Levi would go to the iron ore vein near the territory every day to mine.
Although this distance is not far for him, it takes a long time for normal people to walk. If you just give them an order to go mining, it is still unrealistic.
Therefore, the best way is to continue to expand the territory until the mining area is also included.
Do it as soon as you say it.
Levi called a few people who can build houses, or at least have participated in the construction of houses in the village before and have certain construction experience, to the city gate and asked them to use shovels to make the grass into a dirt path.
As a result, this simple dirt path cannot be regarded as an extension of the territory.
Then Levi gave them some more blocks and asked them to build a road along the city gate to the outside of the territory, and to lay rails and guardrails on it, and to put torches or build street lights next to it.
This time it was successful, and this short section of road became an extension of the territory.
And the extended range is enough to support them to build roads that continue to extend outward.
In other words, as long as the method is appropriate, even without Levi, the people can fully realize the expansion and extension of the territory, and many infrastructure tasks can be handed over to them to complete.
Although each person can only carry one block at a time, as long as there are enough people, their work efficiency can be comparable to Levi, or even surpass him.
"Very good, very good."
Levi's mind became active.
The future of the territory is bright.

Regarding the name of the sword, since it is really hard to change, I can only leave it as it is for now. After thinking about it, the highly praised name [Natural Enemy] by the commentator should be reserved for the following weapons... (I copied the comment openly)
