Chapter 117 All Roads
"I have a plan."
Levi held up a finger and looked at Bud.
"Don't you think the roads around here are a bit too difficult to walk on?"
"I feel... okay?"
Bard thought about it carefully. Although the roads nearby were not very smooth, it would take less than a day to travel from Changhu Town to River Valley City. In addition, there were no enemies who dared to approach, so it was very smooth whether transporting supplies or simply traveling.
"Some merchants have heard the news that River Valley City has begun to rebuild, and many of them have come here recently. They first went to Changhu Town, and then walked from relatively flat areas to River Valley City. There were basically no obstacles, and it was very smooth."
Listening to Bud's report, Levi shook his head.
"I'm not talking about the road here, although that needs to be repaired too."
"I mean—from Riverdale to Roadside."
"Roadside Fort?"
Bud was a little confused, such a strange name.
"Where is it?"
"West of the Misty Mountains."
Bud couldn't help but lean back.
"That's really far."
"Excuse me, building such a long road may not be possible..."
Bud suddenly stopped talking halfway.
No, it certainly wasn't possible before, but now, if everyone could use a little of Levi's construction magic...
It seems to work? "Not really...not easy to fix in a short time."
“Of course it can’t be fixed in a short time.”
Levi studied the small box in his hand and said, "So this is a long-term project. When the cities and towns here are fully restored to prosperity, the residents will always need some new jobs."
Not to mention waiting until urban infrastructure is restored, in fact, just looking at the present, everyone has been freed from basic production, but it will take some time to digest and adapt.
"Of course, fine, you have the final say."
Bud's main attitude is to do whatever you say.
As for the difficulties that may be encountered in the specific implementation - is there any difficulty that our lord cannot handle?
"Then let's plan the initial works first."
Levi asked Bud to find a map, spread it on the table, and pointed to the direction of River Valley City.
"First of all, from River Valley City to Changhu Town, a smooth road is very necessary. The area here is safer, so we can build the road on the ground, which is more convenient."
“It’s not that hard.”
Bud thought about the terrain between the two places and gave an affirmative answer.
As for the second half of Levi's words, since he really didn't understand it, he simply ignored it.
After all, there were too many things Levi said that were difficult for people to understand.
"Very good. Next, we will continue to build a short section of road southwest from Changhu Town to here and use it as a buffer zone."
Levi pointed to the entrance to the dense forest near the Black Forest Mountains.
"The road all the way here is quite safe, and there are elven sentry towers guarding the border of the dense forest. When the time comes, I will place some iron golems, and basically there will be no problems."
"And here—"
Levi ran his finger across the map.
"Start at the forest border here and go up."
"Up... are you pointing north?"
But isn't there already a road to the north? Do we need to build another duplicate road? "No."
Levi took a pen and drew a line.
This line extends westward from the border between Mirkwood East and Lake Town West, across Mirkwood, over the Anduin Valley, through the Misty Mountains, and over the Troll Forest - it connects straight to Roadside Castle.
"We take the empty road."
After understanding Levi's words, Bud was stunned for a while.
And this moment of Kung Fu is like a long fuse, constantly burning sparks.
When it burned to the critical point, Bud's head seemed to explode with a loud bang, and he opened his eyes wide and looked up at Levi.
"Is this possible?"
"Of course."
Levi smiled and said, "It's been so long since the restoration of the ruins of River Valley City, but you still don't understand the characteristics of those blocks?"
Bud recalled.
Yes, those blocks are magical. They stick together in an instant, and the connections between the cuts are so perfect that it seems as if they were originally one piece, and they won't collapse due to insufficient support points.
Moreover, they are very convenient to collect and transport. As long as there is enough time, maybe...
"Let's repair the road on the ground first. I'm going to go to the Black Forest. I need to ask the King of the Forest for his opinion on this matter."
There is no rush for this matter.
Whether it is the complete restoration of various facilities in River Valley City, the industrial upgrading of Changhu Town, or the continued expansion of Roadside Fort, it all takes time.
And Levi has no shortage of time.
At least there is no shortage now.
After a brief discussion with Bard, Levi picked up the blocks stored in the box and built a short road in the direction of River Valley City to Changhu Town by himself, laying the foundation for subsequent projects.
Then we ran all the way to Changhu Town and built a short road north along the river, thus determining the starting and ending points.
"Understood."
River Valley City and Changhu Town are also connected by a river, so in the future there will be two parallel roads, land and water. According to the terrain characteristics here, residents of River Valley City and Changhu Town can build houses and various facilities along this road in the future to expand the scale of the town.
If there were more people, maybe after a period of development, River Valley City and Changhu Town could be merged into one place.
By then it will surely be a more prosperous scene.
At the city gate, Bud looked at the new smooth road that had been built overnight, and a fighting spirit was truly ignited, as if there were waves surging and beating in his heart.
Even the roads on the ground are so smooth and beautiful that it is amazing. If it can really be built into the "Road to Heaven" that Levi talked about, what kind of scenery would it be?
But it’s just as Levi said.
Whether this road can be repaired or not, we have to ask the King of the Black Forest first.
After all, strictly speaking, the entire northern half of the Black Forest is the territory of the elves. If Thranduil does not nod, Levi will not be able to claim it or bring his own characteristics over.
Looking in the direction of the Black Forest, Bard silently blessed Levi in his heart.
"May the journey be smooth."
No obstacles along the way——
That's impossible.
At this moment in the black forest, densely packed ferocious giant spiders kept gathering towards one point. In the center of the gathering place, fires kept burning and then went out after a while. From time to time, a few pieces of burning charred meat flew out and fell to the ground or hit a tree trunk.
The magical thing is that the fire seems to have consciousness, destroying only its own enemies without affecting other things.
Giant spiders on fire fell everywhere but did not cause a fire.
"You really don't know what nemesis is."
Levi was sweeping up the spiders in piles, and his hands were numb from chopping them.
Didn't he just blow down a few spider webs when passing by and let a few captured animals escape? Was it necessary to fight so hard?
hiss--
The spiders screamed ferociously and crowded towards Levi one after another.
If Levi could get closer, he would hear its heartfelt cry -
"You despicable human, you destroyed our road and let our food run away. I will kill you!"
[Nemesis] was emitting a hazy enchanted light, and in Levi's hands it continuously took away the lives of one big spider after another and cut open one spider web after another.
As the number of corpses increased and the human showed no signs of fatigue, the spiders finally realized that something was wrong.
Maybe I shouldn't stop him...
While Levi was struggling with the spiders, a man walked into the forest gate from the west side of the Black Forest and ran all the way to the palace of the Elf King.
