Chapter 9 Restoring the Prosperous North, Simulation
"So, you have a very deep friendship with His Majesty the King of Gushan?"
Tehar, who was extremely talkative, chatted with Allen with great interest, asking about things related to Thorin.
In fact, as the creations of Aulë and the adopted sons of Yinluvita, the dwarves do not have the attribute of being taciturn. Although they are tough, loyal and notoriously stubborn, they can also be very wordy and noisy at times.
Allen, who has traveled with dwarves and experienced an expedition, has a deep understanding of this.
Tiehar's interest in Thorin's affairs is a very normal thing in Allen's opinion. Which subordinate doesn't want to become more familiar with his future leader?
Therefore, Allen will also choose some deeds that are widely circulated and can show Thorin's outstanding qualities and tell them to Tehar.
For example, he killed Azog with his own hands, had the courage to face the dragon, and had many friends. From Eriador to Rovanian, many people who had accomplished great feats were friends of Thorin II.
Anyway, it’s just a rainbow show. The stronger Thorin becomes, the happier Allen will be. Who makes the two of them close friends? Rovanian also has an unbreakable alliance with Gushan. It can be said that
If you suffer a loss, you will suffer a loss; if you suffer a loss, you will both be prosperous.
Allen's words naturally showed his familiarity with Thorin, making Tehar interested in the relationship between Allen and Thorin.
"Yes, we are indeed good friends. This time I went to Lonely Mountain, and I really planned to visit Thorin, and asked him to do me a small favor."
Allen smiled and explained his relationship with Thorin to Tehar. He did not explain it in detail. He was just an ordinary human being next to him at this time. He might have some power and wealth, but he was not the king of Rovanian.
.
After an ambush, Allen felt that it would be better for him to be secretive. Not only did he and Jamila put on some disguises, but even the Twilight Knight and Girl Ranger who followed him were all covered in costumes from Lothro.
Ryan's cloak hides his specialness.
"Oh, what is it?"
Tehar subconsciously asked this question, but looking at Allen's smiling mouth under his hood, he soon realized that he had asked too many questions.
After an awkward silence, Tehar closed his chatterbox and touched the gold belt around his waist with some embarrassment.
Allen really wanted to end this conversation, because the dwarf he was traveling with was really good at chatting and had a strong curiosity about many things.
From the climate of Rovanion to the plot of the Battle of the Lonely Mountain, I am even very curious about Allen's experience during the expedition.
The dwarf in front of him didn't seem to have the word "strange" in his cognition. He seemed a little confused about what kind of distance should be maintained between two strangers who had just met.
Allen, who was a little overwhelmed by this, was really not used to Tehar's enthusiasm.
At the same time, I silently decided in my heart that it would be better to have less contact with this person in the future, or meet as little as possible to avoid anything more embarrassing happening.
Since then, the road to Gushan has finally become quiet.
If you go to Gushan from Changhu Town, there are actually two roads.
For example, merchants carrying large quantities of goods usually drive cargo ships from Changhu Lake and go all the way up the river. This is a more time- and manpower-saving method.
As long as you are willing to spend money, you can basically paddle to the foot of Gushan in more than two days, and there will be residents of River Valley City there to receive merchants who come to trade.
Occasionally, dwarves can be seen on the river bank.
But if you are traveling without cargo, riding a horse may be a better option than taking a boat.
Changhu Town is about a hundred kilometers away from Gushan. In the middle is a vast wasteland, and the road leading to Gushan is on this wasteland.
What is different from the past is that this is no longer the "Dragon Wasteland" that was devastated by Smaug. Thanks to the hard work of the people of Riverdale City, this plain has long returned to its former richness and fertility.
In the spring the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and in the autumn it is full of fruits.
Even if it was the unlucky winter when Allen passed through here, he could still see the low fruit trees on the hillside and the endless farmland on the plains.
Although he had expected it, Allen, who was watching all this, nodded happily. This shows that Bard, the lord of River Valley City, rules this place very well.
As the group of people continued to advance, the sky gradually became darker, and the closer they got to Gushan, the colder the winter nights became.
After all, this is already considered the boundary of the warm land. Continuing two hundred kilometers further north, we will reach the extremely cold Frod region, which is the so-called northern wasteland.
If it were now, only the physically powerful Leng Long might be able to live there.
The team that had been walking for a day was preparing to set up camp and rest. Even a person as powerful as Allen would not rush on a cold night without something urgent, not to mention that he also brought Jamila with him.
Peers.
Another thing is that Allen has started a simulation in the Magical Continent.
In fact, after acquiring the ability of chain lightning, his simulation progress has always stayed at Zenda.
Because in terms of the highest possible combat power in the Magical Continent, it is actually similar to the Pendor Continent in the Age of Ending Law.
Although Pendor is a world with gods, they only whispered in Alan's ears and could not really have any impact on him.
And those powerful Knights of the Apocalypse, such as Wolfbird, the "killer" of Misty Mountain, the Three Immortals of the Snake-worshipping Sect, and Egrem, the Devourer of Evil Gods, guys like these, if Allen doesn't
There is no danger in standing in front of them.
On the contrary, the Druid Order in the Magic Continent does have some powerful beings, and their abilities may not be weaker than Allen at this time, let alone the endless orders of soldiers.
For example, the Doomsday Thunder Knights who are loyal to the Druid Order are more powerful than the Griffin Knights around Allen. Just relying on the five hundred Lion Hunting Knights, they can defeat Allen until he goes bankrupt.
The Magic Continent can't afford any waves.
The most important thing is that Allen seems to have accidentally developed himself into a being similar to the "protagonist". It is a natural thing for him to be targeted by the Druid sect, so Allen, who feels that he is still very weak, just
I have never wanted to advance the progress of Magic Continent.
He wants to gain stronger power in the Pendor Continent, and then go to the Magic Continent to fight the darkness.
In the continent of Calradia, Allen's identity has reached the pinnacle of worldly power. After all, real simulations do not have loopholes like games. The rulers and nobles of the other five kingdoms are all shrewd.
The ghost-like existence will never let the Swadia family dominate.
For example, King Graves of the Rhodok Kingdom, who was "unlucky" to be a prisoner, should have been extremely hostile to Eren, the instigator.
But after learning that Allen had become king, Gebeard kept sending envoys with some velvets, wine from Veruga, and even glittering dinars to Palavon to give gifts to Allen.
, wanting to ease the relationship between the two parties.
Allen, who was kept in the dark at first, didn't know what his old rival was going crazy about.
However, after many inquiries by spies, he learned that Rodok's defeat in the battle a few years ago had greatly reduced Gebeard's prestige, and there were actually voices opposing his rule in Rodok's territory.
Now Ge Beard is almost unable to suppress the nobles in the country. After all, he obtained the throne by coercing the noble council. Once the strength is insufficient, it will be an extremely serious hidden danger. It is not uncommon for rebels to appear.
Therefore, Ge Huzi began to give gifts to young Allen, and his real purpose was naturally not to have a good relationship with Allen and ask Allen to help him.
Graves, who has been king for more than ten years, is far from naive. He knows that Allen is a living saint unless he takes the opportunity to step on him.
The real reason why Ge Beard did this is very simple. It was just to show the nobles in the country, so that others would think that the King of Rhodok and the King of Swadia had settled their differences.
Moreover, Graves shamelessly spent a large amount of dinars to buy some idle nobles of Swadia and spread news of the upcoming alliance between the two countries in Rhodok, in order to delay the progress of the noble rebellion.
Although lies will eventually be exposed one day, lies can also make those swaying nobles into doubts, giving Ge Huzi enough time to win over the forces that support him at a high cost, and use the general trend to overwhelm those nobles.
Opposing voices.
By the time Allen figured out the meaning behind the gift, Graves had already stabilized the domestic situation. There was no other way. In Caladia, where communication basically relies on shouting and transportation basically relies on walking, information transmission is so slow, let alone two
Countries that are in a state of war all year round also have certain information blockades.
Realizing that he had missed the opportunity, Allen had no choice but to send a team of messengers to deliver a letter with a big "6" written on it to Graves.
What a fucking fool you are, Ge Beard.
Facing these cunning opponents, Allen also felt a little confused as he drew his sword and looked around. This is not a game. NPCs must abide by the established rules. In the simulation, the rules for these guys to do things are that there are almost no rules.
, even if it is stated on the surface, some people are unwilling to abide by it.
It is true that Allen has powerful power, but he is not so powerful that he can ignore everything and fight against several countries.
The border of Swadia is also a place of four wars and is connected to most countries.
To the north is the barbaric Nord. The armistice agreement between the two countries has not yet expired, and there is no sufficient reason for what Allen wants to do.
To the northeast is Wikiya, where most of the area is covered by snowfields. What's the benefit of beating them? Are you going to catch rabbits in the snow?
Moreover, plundering the relatively warm lands of Vadia will directly intensify the hatred between Swadia and the Kingdom of Nord, because those barbarians feel that those lands belong to them.
As for Kugit in the southeast, Allen led the Swadia knights to rob a group of semi-nomadic and semi-urban herdsmen, which always gave people a sense of violation.
Moreover, the Kugits, who are all soldiers, will gather a strong enough cavalry force in a short period of time to drag all of Swadia into the quagmire of war. Allen, who was once half a Kugit lord,
, has a deep understanding.
Therefore, Allen, who has become the king but has not yet found an opportunity to start a war, can only continue to maintain his right to rule in Calradia's simulation.
Then it was like watching a play, watching the nobles with ulterior motives perform some unpalatable plots in front of me. Well, it was quite fun sometimes.
At the same time, Allen also enjoys the large amount of dinars brought to him by the fiefdom, as well as the fairly good reputation benefits. Of course, the little reputation every year is also very fragrant, and these wealth can help Allen in Varonian.
Quickly raise an army, and in times of crisis, summon the Lion Hunting Knights to assist you in fighting.
It's just that Calradia's affairs don't cost Allen too much energy, because his prestige is extremely high. Most of the Swadia nobles' first impression of the king is fear, while the common people are afraid of the king because of their years of peaceful life.
Allen's rule is also extremely supportive, so he does this king very easily.
At least it was easier than in Rovanian. After all, there was no flaming evil eye staring at him eagerly every day.
So under such circumstances, Allen spent most of his previous energy on the continent of Pendor, because this land is an important node for him to break the situation.
If he establishes a country in Pendor, then with the help of the Noldor elves, he can establish a strong enough knighthood and a powerful force, which can not only help Allen break the deadlock on the continent of Calradia, but also help him in hunting lions.
With the assistance of the Knights, you can also compete with the army of the Druid Order and gain more powerful abilities.
You know, the Magical Continent has five gems: wind, fire, water, earth, and air, as well as artifacts such as the "Shield of Destiny" and "Hero Badge", and these things may help Allen have a head-on confrontation.
Sauron's abilities.
It’s just that it’s too difficult to re-establish the Kingdom of Pendor. Allen does have a secret territory in the valley near Lion City, but the size of that valley is not even comparable to that of a village, and it is still under the eyes of the enemy.
under.
It is a very good choice to use it as a secret hiding place, but it is not something Allen can rely on.
Perhaps establishing a good relationship with the Noldor elves is the most important thing for the identity of "Son of the Prophecy".
