Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

Chapter 17: Everything is ready



"Get lost!"

The blacksmith, who was almost red-hot, chased William out of the street after his business was robbed again (although it was impossible to do it in the first place).

Levi had no choice but to follow him.

"Hu-hu-sir, I heard you, you want gold, right?"

William, who was chased for a street, panted heavily, and did not forget to promote his business.

"Yes, I want gold. I am curious, do you squat at people's door every day waiting for business? If I were a blacksmith, I would also want to beat you up."

"Haha, no, no, not every day, but I just happened to be here today."

Levi's mouth twitched.

Not every day, then often?

"Okay, tell me about your goods, how much do you sell your gold?"

"As an old customer, you can give me 80% of the market price of gold."

"So affordable?"

"We are always affordable." William swore.

However, thinking of the rotten equipment William sold him last time, Levi was skeptical about this.

Don't bring me a batch of copper-plated gold.

However, Levi was not worried about being cheated. After all, no matter what it was, it would be marked with an ID once it fell into the backpack, and the material would be known at a glance.

Although he was skeptical, Levi followed William to his small warehouse.

This remote small neighborhood remained unchanged, dark and quiet.

If I had to say, there seemed to be more dust on a few houses, and it looked like no one had been active for a month or so.

"That's it, sir."

William searched and took out a box from the depths of the warehouse.

Levi opened the box and was stunned.

It was full of jewelry with dull luster, rust and spots.

"Look, sir, this is pure gold!" William picked up a bracelet and patted his chest to assure.

"No, you..."

Levi's eyelids twitched, and he took the bracelet with so many spots on the surface that the original color could hardly be seen, and put it in his backpack.

[Rusty gold bracelet]

Expected to be recovered: 2-3 gold grains.

That's it.

Levi understood.

The bracelet was indeed made of gold, but maybe it was because of the bad storage environment or because it was too old. Although gold itself is stable, it cannot prevent things from being adsorbed on the surface, which will affect the appearance.

"Okay, I'll take them all."

The quality is not important to Levi.

It's the same if it's thrown into the anti-smelting furnace.

When he heard Levi say this, William immediately rubbed his hands and counted a number.

Levi really didn't have any silver coins on him, so he had to take out a bunch of antique jewelry again. This wave of transactions directly emptied Levi's half of his inventory.

But there were still a lot of gold products in exchange.

Most of the antique jewelry Levi looted from the corpse demon was silver, but he exchanged more than twice the volume of gold products from William.

In fact, in Middle-earth, the price of silver products is very high, especially in the elves. It is said that the elves prefer silver to gold.

Looking at William's raised mouth, Levi knew that he would definitely not lose money.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, the goal has been achieved.

I have to say that William is a bit of a man. Although the warehouse is full of rags, he might be able to do a good business.

He would dare to sell anything that might be related to the needs of customers.

This guy is definitely not as poor as he appears to be. He must be quite wealthy.

After finishing the work, Levi did not stay for long and went back to the inn directly.

William watched Levi leave and wiped the sweat from his head.

"How is the business going?"

A man with unshaven beard and gray clothes suddenly walked out of the shabby house next to him.

"It's barely a loss." William pulled the corner of his mouth.

"Did he find anything?"

"At present, no."

"My suggestion is that you should not let him know what you did."

The bearded man said slowly:

"That night, I heard a thunderous noise on the road. A fire broke out in the forest, which was extinguished by the rootless water from the sky... I couldn't help my curiosity and went to the forest to check. Finally, I found a bunch of big pits and the bodies of orcs. None of them were intact."

William's legs were a little weak.

"I advised those villains not to attack him."

"But the weapons in their hands were all obtained by you."

"You have also dealt with those orcs!" William asked in a low voice.

"That's all in the past. My suggestion is to stop and leave here, otherwise once he finds us, we may not be able to save our heads."

"..."

William fell into deep thought.

...

Levi didn't know what happened.

But inexplicably, a reminder of [Bree area reputation +10] appeared above his head.

It seems that he has done something good unintentionally.

Back at the inn, out of boredom, Levi checked the harvest.

These gold products can be melted into two or three gold ingots.

Not much, but enough to make two golden carrots.

The next two days were uneventful. In addition to resting and eating at the inn, Levi went out to wander around and see the people and customs of Bree.

Taking advantage of his free time, Levi also bought two chickens from a farmer and planned to take them back to raise. As for the other pigs, cattle, and sheep, to be honest, it was a bit difficult for one person to take care of them, after all, there were two horses.

Levi suddenly felt that there were inconveniences when he was alone.

But it is not impossible. There are actually many wild animals in the forest and plain near the roadside fort, including wild boars and bison. I didn't think of opening a ranch before, so I just killed them and ate their meat when I saw them. This time I can try to take some back home to raise.

Back to the topic.

In Bree, there are usually more humans and hobbits.

But sometimes other races pass by, such as dwarves.

"Every time a dwarf caravan passes by, my pockets of silver coins will be filled, and then they will empty my wine cellar."

A winemaker said so.

Levi's luck is pretty good. He happened to meet a wave of dwarf caravans.

Out of curiosity, he also took a look. The result was either wine or some metal tools. Although they looked well-made, Levi didn't need them.

But it was also a glimpse of dwarves.

These bearded little guys are really interesting. They talk like crosstalk, which is very funny.

And the vitality of dwarves is also quite tenacious.

[25/25]

The same health bar as the Dunedain.

Although the dwarf merchant who was chatting with Levi asked if he wanted to buy goods almost every two sentences, Levi didn't buy anything after chatting for a long time.

Finally, the dwarf brother looked at him and went back to the inn.

As soon as he returned to the inn, the bartender came up to him.

"Sir, the horses you asked for are ready."

"Okay, I'll go and take a look."

When he came to the manger, there were indeed two horses that looked quite energetic.

Levi took a look and the relevant information was immediately displayed on the horses.

[26/2s.

[24/24] Maximum speed: 10m/s.

"..."

To be honest, these two horses are actually a bit ordinary.

But as a walking horse, they are also OK.

At this moment, everything is ready and he can go home.

However, at the moment when he took the leash, Levi suddenly remembered a problem.

He can't ride a horse.
