Chapter 221 Bonus Points
How did a lord not know the merchant routes for his own foreign trade?
"Didn't he follow you here?"
Eccelian asked back.
Levi thought for a moment and said, "It's unlikely. I ran all the way south from Riverdale through the Black Gate in the north of Mordor."
Only he could run like this. If anyone else got closer to the black gate, he would be literally demolished by Oak.
The Orcs of Mordor don't care who passes by. Sometimes even if one of their own passes by with good stuff, some of the stuff will be stripped off if there is no strong captain in the team.
"Okay, okay."
Levi didn't pursue the matter any further.
Anyway, everyone is here, so they must have their own way.
"Where are they? I want to see."
“It’s right on the first level, North Market.”
"I'll be back in a minute."
After saying goodbye to the two people in the hall for the time being, Levi cut on his elytra and jumped down from the top floor.
Ecselion and Senger rushed over to look down nervously, and the next moment they looked up again at the sound of fireworks.
"As swift as an eagle."
After looking at Levi who was soaring into the sky, the two of them looked at each other again, speechless for a moment.
Just when I looked away for a second or two, when I looked again, Levi's figure had mysteriously disappeared and I couldn't find him anywhere.
"Are those wings?"
"No, it looks more like a torn piece of cloth. How did he fly with that?"
"Maybe it's magic."
“That makes sense.”
Eccelian recalled the scene just now and fell into deep thought.
Next time I see a grey wizard, maybe I can mention it to him. Maybe he can fly, too.
…
As soon as he arrived at the market, Levi found his target.
He was very familiar with the flag flying high above the car in the center of the market. There was no special logo on the flag itself, only a name on it, which was "Levi".
This is exactly what he signed a few years ago.
but…
Standing on a high place, looking at the carriage surrounded by the crowd, Levi also had a headache.
No wonder Excellian said shopping was difficult.
This caravan seemed a little too popular. Almost everyone in the market gathered here, making the owners of other stalls... huh? Where are the owners? Where did all those stall owners go?
Seeing that he would probably not have any free time for a whole day if he continued to wait, Levi sighed and had to join the crowd.
"Make way, please make way——"
At the outskirts of the crowd, Levi waved his hands and shouted to squeeze in. Thanks to the characteristics of the netherworld alloy armor, even though there were people in front, behind, and on both sides of him, no one could squeeze him. He moved steadily inside like a mountain.
"Who is pushing behind?! I advise you to queue up first, or I will dump my basket on your head... Oh, oh, my God, please go first..."
An old lady was shouting, but when she turned around, her heart skipped a beat and she almost had a heart attack.
Was I being too presumptuous? Although she thought so, it was clear that the person being scolded didn't care about this little thing at all, and even helped her up to prevent her from falling down due to excessive shock.
After the woman recovered, the corners of her mouth almost twisted up to the sky.
I touched it. I just touched his armor!
"Sorry, sorry, excuse me, I have to go check inside."
"No, it's okay, you go first!"
Quite smoothly, when Levi's presence was noticed, the people in front spontaneously made way, and the market became quiet for a while, until Levi walked inside and climbed onto one of the trucks, and the noisy transaction continued.
"Lord, it's the Lord!"
From a distance, the leader of the caravan saw his lord pushing his way over here.
"I never thought you could get this far."
Levi looked at the goods in the car and was also surprised.
There are quite a lot of good stuff here, all of which are roadside specialties.
These freight wagons can hold much more than your own backpack and ender chest combined.
"Sir, we heard about you on the road a few days ago, but we didn't expect you to be here."
Not only Levi, but the head of the caravan also felt a sense of surprise.
I didn't expect to run into my own elusive lord. This is really not easy.
The lord once said that as long as you travel enough, you will always encounter some magical things. Now it seems that this sentence makes a lot of sense.
Look, isn’t this meeting the lord himself? It’s amazing.
"Charlie, the leader of the first caravan, sends his greetings!"
"Well, thank you for your hard work. How did you get here?"
"It's not hard, sir. We just followed the main road. By the way, it's also thanks to our trainee ranger team wandering in the wilderness and the leading ranger instructor. They took turns to clear the possible obstacles ahead of the road. These are the hard-working people."
"grown ups!"
As he was speaking, two young men ran over and waved to Levi excitedly.
"Apprentice Ranger Alger and Yawen, greetings to you!"
The two men saluted excitedly, with clear smiles from the heart on their faces, and their expressions were full of the vitality and energy unique to young people.
Infected by these two guys, even Levi couldn't help but become more cheerful.
"Yes, very energetic."
He jumped out of the car, patted the two young men on the shoulders, and asked, "How is your internship going? Have you encountered any difficulties?"
When they mentioned this, they became very excited.
"We encountered a corpse demon and almost died in the woods near the ancient tomb. My lord, the first enemy you encountered that year was really difficult to deal with. The two of us tried every trick we could to defeat him."
The two young men spoke heartlessly, briefly describing their experience of taking shelter in the village, encountering the cursed child, discovering the corpse demon and chasing it out.
"But fortunately, Instructor Farodan came over and saved our lives."
"I really should have warned you to be careful with those things. They are not something that ordinary people can handle."
Levi responded with a grin, his eyes narrowed slightly.
These corpse demons dared to come out and harm people? They deserved a beating.
"Yes, Instructor Farodan also told us this. Next time we encounter a corpse demon, we will not rush out without five people."
"Well, it's good to be aware of this, but even if there are a lot of people, you still have to be careful and not let your guard down."
"yes!"
The two trainee rangers took notes carefully.
"By the way, why are you guys here with the caravan? Logically, now should be the time to check the results of the internship."
“Our internship is indeed complete.”
One of them explained: "Under the guidance of our instructors, we have experienced more than a dozen raids and direct battles of varying sizes in the past few months, and all the Oaks in Nangang have been defeated."
"Then we met a caravan on the Green Road. They had never been here before and needed some guides."
“So we followed.”
"I see."
Two rangers who were more familiar with the road conditions in southern Eriador, together with the caravan's permanent guards, as well as the cover of secret vagrants and other trainee rangers, were indeed enough to allow them to pass safely.
But the radiation range of the roadside fort is limited to Eriador. It is hard to say what will happen beyond this isolated land.
But these two young apprentices...
In order to save a cursed child in a village near Bree, he dared to challenge the wights, followed the nomads to participate in more than a dozen battles, and later served as a guide and vanguard spy to escort the caravan through many dangerous places all the way to Gondor...
Levi waved his hand and said, "Well done, Alger and Yawen, right? I'll give you extra points when I get back."
"Thank you, Lord!"
The two of them suddenly shouted very loudly, extremely excited.
