Chapter 130 Cheerful Air
As time passed, the afterglow of the sun gradually faded, but the light in the city never disappeared.
——There were enough torches covered with shells on the roadside to provide lighting, and the continuous light was enough to turn this place into a city that never sleeps.
Seeing the iconic black armor and long sword, people on the roadside saluted Levi slightly to show their greetings.
Not only the residents of the Valley City, but also the dwarves showed some respect and greeted the lord here.
At night, Levi walked along the route he remembered to the hut where Bard lived and found that there was still a fire inside.
Bard was not asleep either.
"What are you busy with?"
Pushing open the door, Levi didn't say hello in advance, and sat directly across the desk to chat with Bard.
"Some financial issues in the town."
Bard was already accustomed to Levi's elusiveness. He temporarily put down the work in his hands, went to get a pot of hot water, and brewed 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 Bard to continue the previous topic.
"The road between River Valley and Long Lake Town has been repaired for a long time. This road is very popular. The day after it was repaired, someone drove his own carriage to the door to pick up the business of fast travel between the two places. Usually these people can run several round trips a day."
"The cooperation with Erebor is very smooth. Some people with better talents have learned to make new tools there. The number of blacksmiths and various craftsmen has increased a lot."
Bard stared at the various reports on the table, recalling the development in recent times. As he was talking, he suddenly raised his head as if he had a feeling.
Levi was nodding while holding a gold-rimmed glass lens in front of his eyes and looking at him.
"Human, thinking, senses, soul, movement..."
New knowledge.
"What is that?" Bard didn't understand.
"Your element composition."
Levi put down the lens.
"Don't worry, continue."
"Okay."
"There is indeed something to say - it's about the space beside the main road. The terrain nearby is very good. We can add some houses and buildings as an extension of the city and town."
"Just do it."
"I will convey this idea."
There are not many things to manage in River Valley City.
With two leaders as famous as mountains, the residents live very consciously, and the public security is very good.
Everyone in this city is a person who has witnessed the times with their own eyes.
Bard nodded and said:
"By the way, if you have time, you can go to the square in the center of the city to have a look. 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 who was observing with a mirror curiously, scratching their heads for a while, and couldn't understand what he was doing.
But on the contrary, Levi had studied the residents clearly.
People - although things that have been studied cannot be studied again, 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 additional element is particularly obvious in those who have a skill. They always have some elements that ordinary people do not have, just like blacksmiths, they have the "tool" element.
The element composition of different races is also slightly different.
For example, dwarves.
They often have the elements of "earth", "metal" and "minerals".
Iron-headed children per capita.
After walking around the city and gaining a lot of knowledge from various things around and residents, Levi suddenly looked up at the palace at the highest point of the valley city and found that the building was obviously a little different from what he saw last time.
It has been almost completely repaired, but some places look a little square.
It seems that those places still need to be polished.
However, even the palace has been repaired, which means that the basic buildings and various facilities in the city are already quite complete. Otherwise, with Bard's temperament, it is unlikely that he would arrange people to repair that thing first.
After climbing up the palace and looking around, Levi sighed 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 Bard just mentioned.
"Is that... a statue?"
After a moment.
In the center of the square, Levi looked up at the exquisitely crafted stone sculpture and was surprised.
Exactly the same.
It is exactly the same as himself.
This is a statue that records a great historical moment.
The base of the statue is a huge and ferocious dragon head, and two people stand on it one after the other.
Standing in 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.
This statue is lifelike and quite vivid. It can be seen that the craftsman who built it must be very skilled.
After standing in front of the statue for a long time and observing it for a long time, Levi left and continued to observe other places.
This observation lasted all night.
Knowledge increased.
Bang, bang, bang.
The next morning, there was a gentle knock on the door of Bard's house. Creaky.
The door opened.
Bard 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 great work of art. Did you propose it?"
"No, it was proposed by a craftsman, and then the residents voted to build it."
"Well, it's really good."
Within a few words, Levi had already walked into the house quite skillfully and sat at the table by the window.
He looked through the window in the direction of Changhu Town and said:
"Speaking of which, since the residents are already accustomed to the current main road, it's time to extend this road further."
"Get ready, we're going to Changhu Town."
"I'll start this project."
"Start?"
Is it the 'Sky Road'?
Bard's eyes became more serious.
After settling the affairs at home, Levi and Bard appeared in the west of Changhu Town that morning, which was the end of the newly built road.
Not far ahead was the dark forest. If they continued to build the road on the ground, they had to consider how to remove the obstacles on the road.
But the lord always has a way.
"What's next?"
Bard asked with his head tilted.
"Look at me next."
Levi took out a stone, jumped, put it on the bottom of his feet, and released a block.
Soon, a stone pillar that went straight to the sky was built.
Standing on a high place, Levi looked to the left, which was the black mountains of the Black Forest, and to the right, the leaves reflected red in the sunlight and the location of the underground palace of the Elf King.
This height is about right, and the location is also suitable, which will not hinder the normal life of the elves.
Start work!
On this day, at the junction of the Black Forest and Changhu Town, a stone platform spread out along the top of a stone pillar, blocking a large area of sunlight.
Just as Bard looked up with wide eyes and his neck was 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 the previous one was that this road was a little curved, and it was spreading upwards at a relatively smooth slope.
Yes, upwards.
"He built it all the way until the sun set."
In Changhu Town, Bard was having dinner in a hotel.
While rubbing his sore neck, he said to a road paving worker sitting opposite him:
"I hope you won't feel weak in the knees when the work starts."
"Weak in the knees?"
The person sitting opposite him was immediately a little unhappy.
"If you say that, it's really quite curious. What kind of road can make the people who build it feel weak in the knees?"
I have been building roads for so long, what have I not seen?
"You'll know when the sun rises."
Bud said, "I hope we can gather enough courageous people to build it."
"I'll do it, sir."
As soon as he finished speaking, Alfred suddenly jumped out from the side, causing the people who were eating around him to look down on him.
This guy is really slippery, and he will come out from somewhere if you don't pay attention.
However, despite the dislike, after so long of joint labor, Alfred has been initially transformed successfully. He has not caused any troubles, and he has done his best without being lazy.
He has also been recognized by some townspeople.
"You? Courage?"
Bud looked strange and shook his head.
The paver next to him was not so restrained. He said directly, "Does your courage mean wearing women's clothes and hiding behind?"
As soon as this sentence came out, the air around him immediately became cheerful, and there was a burst of laughter.
Alfred immediately blushed, stiffened his neck and retorted loudly:
"Not every man has the courage to wear women's clothes!"
"Hahahahahaha——!"
The people eating around laughed even louder.
"Make way——"
A maid carrying dishes pushed Alfred away and walked behind him. After putting down the plate, she also smiled secretly.
It can only be said that funny characters also have a certain market.
"Alas——"
Bud put down the knife and fork in his hand and sighed. His head was hurt by 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 formulate a safety guide for high-altitude construction..."
