Chapter 130 Cheerful Air
As time goes by, the sun's afterglow gradually fades away, but the light in the city never disappears.
——There are enough covered torches on the roadside to provide lighting. The endless light is enough to turn this place into a city that never sleeps.
Seeing the iconic black armor and long sword, people on the roadside bowed slightly to Levi as a greeting.
Not only the residents of Valley City, but also the dwarves showed some respect and paid tribute to the lord here.
At night, Levi walked along the route he remembered to the cabin where Bud lived and found that there was still a fire on inside.
Bud hadn't slept yet either.
"What are you busy with?"
After opening the door, Levi sat down opposite the desk and started chatting with Bud without saying hello in advance.
“Some financial issues within the town.”
Bud had become somewhat accustomed to Levi's unpredictable appearances. He temporarily put down the work in his hands, went to get a pot of hot water, made a cup of tea for Levi and placed it in front of him.
"Do you need some snacks?"
"No, I'm not hungry."
Levi took a sip of tea and motioned for Bud to continue the previous topic.
"The road between River Valley City and Changhu Town has been built for a long time. This road is very popular. The day after it was built, someone drove his own carriage to the door to pick up business that traveled quickly between the two places. Usually, these people can run several round trips a day."
"The cooperation with Erebor is going very smoothly. Some people with better talents have learned to make new tools there, and the number of blacksmiths and various craftsmen has increased significantly."
Bud stared at the various reports on the table, thinking about the recent developments. As he was speaking, he suddenly raised his head as if he had sensed something.
Li Wei was seen nodding his head while holding a gold-rimmed glass lens in front of his eyes and looking at him.
"Human beings, mind, senses, soul, movement..."
New knowledge.
"What is that?" Bud was a little confused.
"Your elemental makeup."
Levi put down the lens.
"Don't worry about it, just continue."
"All right."
"There is something to be said for that - the space along the main road, the terrain nearby is very good, and you can add some houses and buildings as an extension of the city and town."
“Just do it.”
“I’ll pass on the idea.”
There isn't a lot to do in the management of River Valley City.
With two leaders of such high reputation, the residents live their lives quite consciously and public security is extremely good.
Everyone in this city has witnessed the times.
Bud nodded and said, "By the way, if you have time, you can go to the square in the city center. There are some new things there."
"I will."
It was nothing big. After a brief chat and drinking the cup of tea, Levi walked out of the hut, looked here and there with the lens in his hand, and studied everything around him.
Some residents looked at the lord curiously as he was looking around with a mirror, scratching their heads and unable to understand what he was doing.
But on the contrary, Levi has studied the residents thoroughly.
People - Although things that have been studied cannot be repeated, there are always differences between people. In addition to the basic elements, everyone always has some additional elements to indicate the differences between individuals.
This extra element is particularly evident in those who have a special skill. They always have some elements that ordinary people do not have, like blacksmiths, they have the "tool" element.
The elements that make up different racial views are also slightly different.
For example, dwarves.
The elements of 'earth', 'metal' and 'mineral' often appear in them.
Every person has an iron-headed baby.
After walking around the city and gaining a lot of knowledge from the surrounding things and residents, Levi suddenly looked up at the palace at the highest point of the Valley City and found that the building was obviously different from what he saw last time he came.
It has been almost completely restored, though it is a little boxy in places.
It looks like those areas need some polishing.
However, the fact that even the palace has been repaired means that the basic buildings and various facilities in the city are already quite complete. Otherwise, given Bard's personality, it is unlikely that he would arrange people to repair that thing first.
After climbing up the palace and looking around, Levi marveled at the wisdom of the working people. He looked down at the brightly lit city and suddenly focused his eyes on the center of the square, which was the place that Bard had just mentioned.
"Is that... a statue?"
After a moment.
Levi, who was standing in the center of the square, looked up at the beautifully crafted stone sculpture in amazement.
Exactly the same.
It's exactly like me.
This is a statue that records a great historical moment.
The base of the statue is a huge, ferocious dragon head, with two people standing on it, one in front and one behind.
Standing in the front is Levi holding a sword and wearing black armor, and standing behind is Bard, holding a yew longbow in his hand and a spear-like black arrow on his back.
The statue is lifelike and vivid, and it can be seen that the craftsman who built it must have been very skilled.
After standing in front of the statue for a long time and observing it for a while, Levi left and continued to observe other places.
This observation lasted all night.
Knowledge has increased.
Bang bang bang.
The next morning, there was a gentle knock on Bud's door.
Crunch.
The door opens.
Bud still looked quite calm and energetic, which made Levi wonder if he hadn't slept either.
Levi greeted him and said, "I went to the square to see it. It's a pretty cool piece of art. Was it you who suggested doing it?"
"No, it was proposed by a craftsman and then the residents voted to build it."
"Well, it's really good."
In just a few words, Levi had walked into the house quite skillfully and sat at the table by the window.
He looked out the window towards Changhu Town and said:
"Now that residents are used to the current road, it's time to extend it further."
"Get ready, we're going to Changhu Town."
"I'll give this project a head start."
"A start?"
Are you referring to the 'Heavenly Road'?
Bud's eyes became more serious.
After settling their family affairs, Levi and Bud appeared west of Changhu Town that morning, which was the end of the newly built road.
There is a dark forest not far ahead. If we continue to build the road on the ground, we have to consider how to clear the obstacles on the road.
But the lord will always find a way.
"What's next?"
Bud asked, tilting his head.
"It's my turn next."
Levi took out a stone, jumped, put it on the bottom of his feet, and released a block.
Soon, a stone pillar reaching the sky was built.
Standing on a high place, Levi looked to the left and saw the black mountains of the Black Forest. Looking to the right, he saw the red leaves reflected in the sunlight and the location of the Elf King's underground palace.
This height is just right, and the location is suitable, and it will not interfere with the normal life of the elves.
Work begins! On this day, at the junction of the Black Forest and Changhu Town, a stone platform spread out from the top of a stone pillar, blocking out a large area of sunlight.
Just as Bard looked up with eyes wide open and his neck stiff, Levi put on his elytra and glided down, and continued to build the road along the end of the road previously built by the residents.
The only difference from before is that this road is a bit curved and is spreading upwards at a relatively smooth slope.
Yes, upwards.
"He just kept building until the sun went down."
In Long Lake Town, Bud was having dinner in a hotel.
While rubbing his sore neck, he said to a paving worker sitting opposite him: "I hope you won't be weak in the knees when the work starts."
"Weak legs?"
The person sitting opposite him immediately became unhappy.
"If you put it that way, I'm really curious. What kind of road could make the people who built it feel weak in the knees?"
I've been repairing roads for so long, what kind of situation haven't I seen?
"When the sun comes up, you'll know for yourself."
"Hopefully we can get enough courageous people together to build it," Bud said.
"I will, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alfred suddenly jumped out from the side, causing a wave of disgust from the people around who were eating.
This guy is really slippery. He will pop out from somewhere if you're not paying attention.
But even though they disliked him, after so much time of working together, Alfred had achieved initial success in his transformation. He no longer caused any trouble and he worked diligently without being lazy.
He also gained some recognition from the townspeople.
"You? Courage?"
Bud looked at him strangely and shook his head.
The paver next to him was not so reserved. He said directly: "Does your courage mean putting on women's clothes and hiding behind them?"
As soon as these words came out, the air around them immediately became cheerful and a burst of laughter broke out.
Alfred immediately blushed, stiffened his neck and loudly retorted: "Not every man has the courage to wear women's clothes!"
“Hahahahahahaha——!”
The people eating around laughed even louder.
"Make way—"
A maid carrying dishes pushed Alfred away and walked behind him. After putting the plate down, she also smiled secretly.
All I can say is that funny characters also have a certain market.
"well--"
Bud put down the knife and fork in his hand and sighed. His head hurt because of this guy.
"It's up to you. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, don't go. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. Our lord has arranged a lot of work for me."
"Now, I have to quickly develop a safety guide for high-altitude construction..."
