Chapter 303 Many Years

Chapter 303 Many Years

In 2973, Levi went out to visit Rohan and Gondor and met two old friends.

In the same year, Gondor commander Thorongil led his army to raid the port of Umbar, burned a large number of ships, and killed a port commander, greatly reducing the threat from the south sea.

This matter was known to many people, but what puzzled people was that after making great achievements, 'Solongil' left without saying goodbye and never appeared in people's sight again.

Including in Rohan, the people of Rohan all remember that there was such a warlike general who fought side by side with Grand Marshal Theoden to guard the border and performed very bravely.

Some people tried to find the gray-robed wizard who was always with the young general and was both his teacher and friend, but then they found that the whereabouts of the gray-robed wizard were even more confusing than Thorongil, so they had to give up.

But even though there is no news about 'Solongil', people still remember that there was such an outstanding young man who made a great contribution to the human beings in the free camp.

His achievements will be recorded and passed down.

…

Time flies by, and people are each on their own journey, not knowing where the end is.

In the blink of an eye, many years have passed.

Levi has hardly gone out in recent years.

He spends most of his time in the territory, especially in River Valley City, where people can always see him.

It seemed that River Valley City had become the place he preferred to live in, so the residence in Roadside Castle and Riverside Castle in Water City became empty, with no one in the house for a long time.

However, whether it is Roadside Castle or Water City, the people in these two places have become accustomed to the lord's offline state.

Over the years, through specialized education and system reforms, each territory has already adapted to this and has developed a mature operating model.

Even without Levi, the territory would prosper and grow more prosperous.

The difference is that when he is around, the development of the territory will occasionally make a big leap, like the building of the Great Wall and the establishment of the Water City project.

It will be more stable when it is not there.

In any case, it is always good for the people in the territory that Levi can stay peacefully in the territory for a long time. No matter which territory it is, as long as it is within the territory.

As for living in River Valley City, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it doesn't take too long to get from Roadside Fort or Water City to River Valley City. Even if something happens, the news can be delivered immediately without delay.

Well...probably it won't be delayed.

Another winter is coming.

Levi was wearing a cloak and walking on the road in a low-key manner, occasionally responding to the greetings of the residents.

Snowflakes fell slowly and melted before they could get close to him.

Boom boom boom…

When I knocked on that familiar door again, the movement inside slowed down a lot.

Crunch.

Bud opened the door and welcomed Levi into the house.

“Ahem…”

He coughed twice, sat down at the table, and pushed the still steaming tea towards Levi.

The weather is getting colder.

"how are things?"

Levi spoke first.

"Everything is normal...very good."

Bud only answered like this and fell silent again.

Levi looked at his white hair and thin body and did not speak for a long time.

After a moment, there was another knock on the door.

This time it was Levi who went over to open the door.

"Bain, and Brand."

While greeting, Levi changed into his armor and picked up the lively little Brand.

At this moment, the little guy, who is only four or five years old, is at the age of loving to play. He is curious about everything and is very naughty.

However, this usually only happens in front of his parents. Once in front of Bud or Levi, the little guy will behave well.

"Good boy, have a snack."

Bud smiled and handed him a soft cookie.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Brand reached out to take it, opened his big watery eyes, and started to nibble on it.

Bud touched his little head, his face full of love.

And reluctant.

Levi sat down in the chair by the window again, opposite Bud.

Bain picked up Brand, who was eating a biscuit, and sat with him on the side of the table.

"A new bridge has been built east of Dalu Town, which will make it more convenient to travel to Dorwinion."

"Everything is normal at the border, there is no movement."

“This year is also a year of peace.”

"Yeah." Bud nodded after listening to Bain's brief description.

He was no longer able to handle matters that were too complicated, nor could he personally visit construction sites or borders for inspection.

Naturally, all these tasks were handed over to Bain.

He did a great job, just as good as Bud.

"You will take good care of this land for me, right?" Bad looked at Bayin with a smile.

"Father…"

"If you want to see it, then see it yourself. Nothing is more real than what you see with your own eyes."

Levi interrupted the two of them, obviously not wanting to go deeper into the topic.

Brand looked left and right, somewhat confused.

“The splendor of this area cannot be separated from you.”

In recent years, when Levi really settled down and lived here and observed carefully, he discovered the true situation of the river valley.

The good friendship with Lonely Mountain, the smooth trade up and down the Rushing River, and the prosperous development of the territory are certainly largely due to his ability and influence, but Bard's management and agency also account for a large part of the success to this day.

When the roadside fort was built, people went there because they had heard that there was a legendary person there who was willing to shelter the displaced and give them a new life.

The situation is different in the many towns in the river valley.

Quite a lot of people are willing to come here from far away, partly because they have heard of Levi's name, and partly - or even a large partly - because they admire Bard's personal charm and are impressed by the various policies and plans he has issued.

He exercised the authority of "acting lord". On the one hand, he generously spread wealth to create a better life for his subjects. On the other hand, he maintained good relations with various forces, which continuously improved the reputation of the valley, the free cities and even Levi among many allies.

In this entire area, such a large territory, Levi has never worried or been troubled by anything here.

Levi still spent the winter and New Year of this year in River Valley City.

It was a dull occasion, with nothing noteworthy to say, except for having dinner together, showing off cooking skills, and meeting close people.

Of course, in River Valley City, the people closest to him are Bard and the Bayin family.

At the table, several people were enjoying the various delicacies made by Levi himself, especially little Brand. It was the first time for the child to see so many delicious foods, and he was almost unable to walk due to his fullness.

A crisp clinking sound was heard on the table, and several people raised their glasses and clinked them lightly.

Drink it all in one gulp.

After dinner, when Levi left, Bud sat down at the desk again, poured himself a cup of tea, picked up the pen, and wrote something in a notebook.

But as he was writing, he stopped and shook his head.

He took a long breath, leaned back, and closed his eyes to rest.
