Chapter 275 Recovery

In 2958, a construction team set out from Dalu Town and headed for the ruins of the old capital of the Kingdom of Rovanian, near Donglinwan, and began to repair buildings and set up guard posts there.

This movement immediately attracted the attention of the Woodland Kingdom.

You really have to pay attention.

The last time there were human lives in this place was more than 1,500 years ago, when a group of northern humans established the Kingdom of Rhovanion here. Then they fought each other and formed alliances, and then it disappeared. It took a total of more than 600 years from the founding of the country to its demise.

After the dissolution of the Kingdom of Rhovanion, a part of it formed a new nation, the Éotheod, who were the ancestors of Rohan. They saved Gondor in an important battle, so Gondor gave them a large piece of land. They established a country on this land, which became the present-day Rohan.

Others went north to form Dale City and coexisted with the dwarves. This is recorded in the history of the dwarves.

Thorin once mentioned: "When my grandfather became the King under the Mountain again, a large number of humans who respected him migrated along the Running River and built a happy little city called "River City" in the valley near Erebor."

In addition to these people, there are some who went further, some to the Anduin Valley to establish some loose villages, and some traveled far to live in Dorwinion.

In fact, if you really trace it back, many people in Roadside Castle now have ancestors who came from the Kingdom of Rhovanion, and this place has a close connection with Levi.

In summary, there was once a kingdom called Rhovanion, which lasted for more than 600 years. After the kingdom was dissolved, people sought their own ways out.

Six hundred years was not a long time for the elves. In their view, it was perhaps just a new human kingdom as a neighbor, and then many things happened, and the kingdom eventually disbanded after fighting.

The elves of this era are no longer as active as before. They all like to find a place to hide and close their eyes for thousands of years. As long as what happens in the outside world does not affect them, they don’t care. No matter what happens, they are too lazy to care.

But...

As the Kingdom of Rhovanion developed, they were short of materials, especially wood.

Then a large area on the east side of the Black Forest was cut down, forming the "East Forest Bend" wasteland that is now covered with dead tree stumps and broken branches.

The western part of this wasteland has since been called "Black Forest Narrows", meaning the narrowest area in the Black Forest.

The elves of the Woodland Kingdom were also speechless. They had been living peacefully in the forest when a large area of ​​their territory was lost because it was cut down by someone to build a city.

But they didn't say anything - after all, the other country was destroyed, so what else was there to say.

We can't ask their scattered descendants for an explanation.

Back to the point, it has been more than a thousand years since the fall of the Kingdom of Rhovanion, and now humans have come to this land again, which has attracted the attention of many elves.

They had not received any news before, so they came to ask out of curiosity.

The person in charge of this matter was the deputy of the Woodland Kingdom, and he was ordered to talk to Levi.

Levi greeted him, and after the two chatted for a while, they got down to business.

"We are planning to build an outpost here, on the one hand to monitor the movements of this wilderness, and on the other hand to prepare for future expansion."

"You don't think we're going to cut down trees in the Black Forest again?"

Combining history, Levi could guess something.

"Don't worry."

Levi said, "I have seeds from all the trees in the Black Forest."

"What do you mean?" The deputy was a little confused.

Why did the topic suddenly jump to seeds? "Look."

Levi pointed to the junction of the wasteland and the forest in Donglinwan.

I saw that not only did the number of trees belonging to the Black Forest not decrease at all, but there were some new local tree species growing on the wasteland nearby.

They will cover the wasteland again.

Vitality is revived on it.

The deputy's eyes widened.

“The forest is recovering.”

He looked at Levi, and his mouth seemed to be mute, unable to utter anything for a long time.

"You are the first lord...whom I admire so much."

This year, Levi brought the pioneering team to the ruins of the old Rovanian Kingdom near Donglinwan, and various buildings were repaired, and the abandoned wasteland in Donglinwan was gradually covered with trees and green grass.

It is foreseeable that the so-called "East Forest Bend" will disappear completely in the near future, and the name "Black Forest Narrows" that appeared because of it will also disappear.

They will all become history, and in their place will be a complete forest.

Elves...are naturally close to nature, and they can always feel something different from nature.

It is also for this reason that the Ents (tree people) became friendly with them.

Because at first the Ents couldn't speak. It was the elves who sensed them and communicated with them that made them want to speak and create their own language.

"Don't worry too much about it. After all, I didn't come here specifically for this matter. I just did it for fun."

Levi said something quite elf-like.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

It just happened... yes, it happened, just like the main purpose of the elves sending troops to River Valley City was not to rescue the humans there, and bringing them a large amount of supplies was just a convenience.

After chatting with the Woodland Kingdom's deputy and taking a tour of the construction site to make sure everything was going smoothly and there were no other problems, Levi mounted his horse and rode off.

Continue south.

In this way, we came to the river and took a boat to the northernmost part of Rohan.

Northern Plateau.

There are only a few small towns scattered around this place, and the population is quite sparse compared to where the southern capital is located.

But fortunately, it is not nothing.

In a relatively crowded town, Levi saw a seemingly long road.

I learned from the residents of the town that this is the Vold Avenue. As long as we walk south along this road and cross the second bridge, we will reach the capital of Rohan.

“This distance is not close.”

Levi looked at the map.

To get from the Northern Plateau to Edoras, you have to cross the entire Rohan. The two places are located at the southern and northern edges of Rohan respectively.

Fortunately, there is still a road, so it won’t be too troublesome for caravans or other people to pass through here in the future.

In this way, after a few years, Levi came to the capital of Rohan again.

In the hall, Senger was holding his head, discussing things with many Rohan high-ranking officials with a headache.

Until a guard broke in and interrupted the meeting.

"What's got you so anxious?"

Senger frowned.

"We are discussing important matters. I hope you bring more important news than this."

After receiving the king's order, the guard hurried over and whispered a few words in his ear.

"The meeting is adjourned. Everyone please leave and we will discuss this tomorrow."

The king made the announcement rather abruptly, and many high-ranking officials looked at each other in confusion.
