Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth

Chapter 16: Procurement



Levi was very curious about this human king who would come decades later.

It would be nice if he could meet him in advance.

However, if he wanted to go to Rivendell, he would probably not be able to come back for a while, and now he couldn't summon the iron golem, so the castle would be defenseless when he left.

After thinking about it, Levi decided to go back to Bree first, get what he needed, and do a good job of the territory's security.

Levi left a sign at the gate of the castle with the words "temporarily out", took a few sets of food, and prepared all the equipment and tools, then set off on the road and headed west.

Compared to the time when he came, it was much easier to go back this time. First, he was familiar with the road conditions after walking once, and second, there was enough food.

The third point was that Levi had a world map, so he could check his location at any time and calculate how long it would take to reach his destination.

Except that the process of rushing was a bit boring, there were no other obstacles along the way. Levi arrived at the gate of Bree smoothly and was checked by the guard.

However, this time, the guard's attitude surprised Levi.

At the gate, the guard opened the small wooden window and looked at Levi, but he didn't ask, and directly opened the door and motioned him to come in.

At the same time, he greeted: "Welcome, friend, how is the road condition recently?"

Levi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Not bad, it's going smoothly, I didn't encounter any obstacles on the road."

"That's good."

The guard nodded and went back to sit.

Levi walked on the road, thinking about something, and suddenly, he opened the camp interface and checked Bree.

[Bree] Regional Reputation: 34 (Friendly)]

Source: Kill bandits and annihilate the Oak team.

So that's it. Although the reputation module was unlocked later, what I did before was not forgotten.

Starting from the reputation value of 10, the camp attitude will become friendly.

To unlock higher-level achievements, more reputation is needed. Levi took a quick look and found that the reputation required for the next stage is - 100 points.

Without too much entanglement, Levi focused on the main purpose of coming to Bree this time.

Shopping, buying supplies that he couldn't get.

For example, seeds of crops such as pumpkins, potatoes, and radishes.

And, Levi also wanted to buy a horse for transportation.

After all, people can't run as fast as horses.

Although Levi is definitely better than horses in terms of endurance, after all, he doesn't need to stop to eat, and the fuel consumption of half a set of jerky per 100 kilometers, but running all the time is not a problem, and he is tired of running.

After determining the goal, Levi first went to the Prancing Horse Inn to book a room, and directly found the boss to ask if he could help him get two good horses.

Maybe it was because of his reputation, or because Levi was still generous this time, the boss agreed to Levi's commission and stated that he would bring the two best horses in Bree in the shortest time.

Although he said so, Levi didn't know how short the so-called shortest time would be, so he could only wait first.

After checking in and having a good meal at the inn, Levi immediately went out to ask around where he could buy vegetables. With the bonus of friendly reputation, the process went smoothly. He just asked a few questions, and the townspeople passing by told him the locations of all the markets and vegetable vendors from east to west in Bree.

Following the instructions of the enthusiastic townspeople, Levi quickly found a farm.

"Welcome, sir, is there anything you need?"

The farmer received him warmly.

Levi immediately stated his needs, and fortunately, the crops he wanted to buy were all here.

Pumpkin, potato, carrot, wheat...

"Hey, this is..."

Levi walked to a basket and picked up something inside.

"Corn!"

[Unlocked synthesis: corn seeds]

"Give me a sack of this too!"

Levi bought it on the spot.

"Okay sir, Bree's most diligent hands are at your service!"

Then, he saw the onions, ginger and garlic with a little dirt next to them.

"I want these too!"

"Okay, sir!"

After a round of trading, Levi spent all the silver coins on him, including the blackened silver coins looted from the Orcs.

The attentive farmer was all smiles. Today's business was really good. This gentleman really didn't take money seriously. He didn't even talk about the price. He waved his hand to wholesale a lot of crops.

"Welcome to come again next time~"

I guess there won't be a next time.

Levi replied in his heart.

I'll show you what the speed of MC farming is right now. Have you seen wheat that matures every few days?

Leaving the farm, looking at the sacks of crops in his backpack, Levi felt that he had harvested a lot.

The only pity is that there seems to be no watermelon here. Thinking about it carefully, I have never seen it.

The crops are collected. Next, you just need to wait for the innkeeper to bring the promised horse over, and then you can go home.

The seeds of crops can be synthesized on the workbench. After the workbench synthesis, the crops can be directly turned into seeds with MC characteristics.

But Levi had never tried to breed animals. In the wild and remote area of ​​Roadside Castle, only a few bison could be found occasionally, and they could not be brought back. The biggest use of them was to chop them up and eat their meat.

This time, Levi bought two horses directly, and he also planned to take them back to try to see if he could breed MC special horses.

But before that, the breeding of MC horses requires gold.

At the very least, two golden carrots are needed.

But gold mines are very difficult to dig. Levi has been digging in the mines near the roadside fort for more than a month, but he has not seen any.

There is no way, he can only find a place to change.

The first thing Levi thought of was the blacksmith shop. Following the location in his memory, he came to a familiar place again.

"What's the matter, sir?"

"Oh - it's you, hello, is there anything you need?"

The blacksmith greeted him, obviously recognizing Levi.

"I'm honored that you still remember me."

"Of course I remember, sir. I heard that an adventurer who passed through Bree not only single-handedly solved a group of bandits who blocked the road, but also killed a bunch of orcs and wargs."

As he spoke, the blacksmith put down his work, quietly approached Levi, and asked mysteriously: "They said you can do magic, is it true?"

Seeing that the topic was going off the topic, Levi hurriedly stopped:

"Stop, brother blacksmith, let's not talk about these first. I came here to buy some materials from you. I wonder if you have any."

Seeing that the other party mentioned business, the blacksmith also put away his gossiping thoughts and asked: "What do you need? Just tell me. Today is different from the past. Your actions have proved that you are not a gangster. If it is now, it is not impossible to buy weapons."

Levi shook his head: "No, I want to ask if you have gold here. I want to buy some..."

The blacksmith raised his head tactically on the spot.

"I am a blacksmith, not a goldsmith, sir."

Well, it seems that there is no hope.

Just as Levi sighed and was about to leave.

A familiar place, a familiar position, a familiar voice sounded.

A man suddenly appeared from behind the fence and said, "Hey, adventurer, I just heard what you wanted to buy!"

"Get out of here! You stinky rag collector, stay away from me!" The blacksmith cursed on the spot, not giving him any face.

Such a familiar scene, have I seen it somewhere...

Levi turned his head and saw a mean face.

William, the odds and ends merchant.
