On a bright morning that was about to enter the starry moon, Allen and his party bid farewell to the beautiful Karaskarazon and embarked on their way home.
When we first left the Golden Forest, we were almost surrounded by wilderness, with no roads and no human habitation. We could occasionally see some human buildings on the distant hillside, which were also ruins with thousands of years of history.
In the north, the sunshine in July is pretty good. While it warms your body, it doesn't make you feel particularly hot.
White clouds were fluttering in the breeze, dotting the blue sky. Walking in such a wilderness, even if there were no people around, everyone was still in a good mood.

At the very least, there are no annoying orcs around here, nor are there disturbing howling wolves.
The gloomy land in the past is restoring its former beauty under the sun.
In this way, after walking for more than ten days, everyone felt better.
Because after passing several sentry towers built on the hills, you entered the village of Yin Ouweiya.
This is a land that has been cultivated and full of fruits. Most of the residents living here have rosy faces and are friendly to others.
When they working in the fields noticed the flags raised by Allen and his party, they would take off their hats and salute from a distance to express their respect for the king.
The smooth roads crisscrossed between fields, and occasionally a simple but brand-new house stood on both sides of the road.
Some of them are inns, while others are simple residences.
Allen was walking on the road and looked into the distance. From near to far were patches of orchards, as well as farms and warehouses, dotted around Yin Ouweiya.
And the journey of the group is not alone. When the team passes the ox cart loaded with vegetables, they will also receive some fruits as gifts.
For example, cool and refreshing cucumbers, or sweet and juicy tomatoes.
After several years of development, this once desolate land has become a prosperous agricultural town.
However, the team did not stay here longer, they just replenished some fresh supplies and left.
As a benevolent king, Allen didn't want this tranquility to be disturbed by his arrival.
Soon, the group passed by the clanking old ferry, where hundreds of blacksmiths and their re-established families lived.
Allen built a high wall here, and then arranged a fully armed army to guard here day and night to protect his own forging area.
This place is close to the Misty Mountains. Even though most of the orcs hide in dark and damp tunnels in fear because of their master's failure, there are also some who risk their lives to attack humans out of desperation.
Preparation is always necessary.
Before heading to Moria, Allen had given a large number of tasks to the craftsmen here, asking them to forge scale armor, so the forge near the old ferry had been operating at full capacity, and the burning chimneys had been burning for several months.
There has never been a break.
But when everyone returned to Feslite, Allen did not immediately devote his energy to the production of silver leaf armor.
The speed with which he prepared the materials for the sigil and painted the sigil far exceeded the progress of the scale armor, so there was no rush in this part of the work.
On the other hand, distributing the spoils with the dwarves is a top priority. In such a situation involving a large amount of wealth, it is better to resolve it quickly to avoid long nights and long dreams.
The dwarves' personalities are really awkward, and Allen sometimes can't control their thoughts.
Therefore, after a festive dinner, Allen discussed the distribution with Dine, Ouyin, and Ou Rui.
The most valuable wealth gained from this trip to Moria was the dozen boxes of mithril ingots. According to the previous distribution plan, Allen distributed 30% to the dwarves, leaving less than 60% for himself, and the other 10% was left in
Lothlórien was given to the Lord and Lady of the Golden Forest.
As for the mithril jewelry and armor found in the 16th Hall, except for the Durin dwarves whose names and surnames can still be found in the Lonely Mountain, the rest belong to Allen. In this regard, the two sides split it roughly 50-50.
No matter how precious it is, it is better to return the inherited objects to those dwarves. On the one hand, Allen does not want some dwarves to worry about their treasure trove every day. Most dwarves do not dare to go to Moria to face the Balrog, but
I still have the confidence to come to Rovanian to cause trouble.
On the other hand, using this special wealth is enough to spread Allen's name throughout Erebor once again, and his reputation will definitely rise to the next level.
The development of Rovanian is inseparable from this group of dwarves, and there will always be a time when they are used.
So returning those heirlooms to the dwarves was actually a decision that made it unclear whether it was a loss or a gain.
In addition, the armor on the three dwarves belongs to themselves, which can be regarded as a reward for them, while the remaining four sets of chain armor belong to Allen.
As for other things, such as Allen finding the Ax of Durin, what kind of compensation will Thorin, as King of Durin, give to Allen, and what kind of compensation will be given to Allen by the dwarves who got the heirlooms?
.
Then we have to wait until Dain and the others return to the Lonely Mountain and let the dwarves think about it carefully.
Allen no longer has much need for mithril. He gained a lot from this expedition, so much that he may not need to worry about materials for talisman equipment in the future.
There are even enough materials for the female knights responsible for reconnaissance work to forge repeating crossbows, a weapon that can fire multiple times with one reload.
So, why bother with the minutiae?
After ordering people to arrange the itinerary of the three dwarves, Allen also took a good rest for a few days, and at the same time assisted his queen in handling some state affairs.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After all, Jamila's bulging belly is very conspicuous, and James has repeatedly persuaded her to put down her work.
Then, part of the Prime Minister's work was handed over to James, who kept him hanging under Allen's nose, and kept nagging that Allen went out to take risks when Jamila was pregnant. It was really
It's a very unreliable thing.
Regardless of whether it is reliable or not, when Allen learned that Jamila was pregnant, he had already made all preparations before departure. It can be said that as long as the dwarf guide arrived at Feslite, the team could set off.
Allen has always believed that things must be done after planning is completed. If he doesn't go now, should he wait until Jamila gives birth?
After seeing his child, Allen probably doesn't want to leave. Unless there is a particularly urgent incident, a father should at least accompany his child through the first childhood and give him love and care.
.
Then this originally planned thing will probably have to wait until the child grows up, so who knows what the situation will be like by then?
Standing in Allen's current position, there will always be complicated matters that make him make various choices.
The most important thing is that there is no room for hesitation when doing things in Middle-earth, because time can wait for others, but Sauron, who is entrenched in Mordor, will not wait for anyone either.
The creation of weapons and armor is very important for an emerging force like Rovanian with a shallow foundation. This is a necessary reserve to resist the darkness.
Therefore, Allen didn't think there was anything wrong with his decision, but in the face of James' nagging, he couldn't order his friend to shut up, because the other party was caring about his family.
In other words, after time has passed, the relationship between James and Allen is no longer much different from that of his family. Faced with this situation, Allen has no good solution.
Then find something for him to do. Anyway, most state affairs except war, after sorting out over the years, are relatively simple things, and the abilities of cabinet officials are pretty good.
Many times, these young people with power just need a plan or someone to approve what they do.
On this trip, there was another surprise for Allen, which was the recipe of Miruwo and Rambas.
Miruwo is a kind of nectar wine with special abilities. This liquid is prepared through preparation. The specific method is secondary, but the materials used for preparation are very precious, most of which are plants produced in Valinor.
, the environment required to grow them is a bit harsh for the current Middle Earth.
This is especially true for Lambas. This kind of bread used by the elves for long-distance travel uses wheat seeds from Aman. Although this wheat has strong vitality, it requires the care of elven women from planting to picking.
, and also need a field with sufficient sunlight that will not be eroded by darkness and north wind.
If such harsh planting conditions were left to Karl, who was in charge of agriculture, it would probably be a task that would take more than ten years or even decades to complete, and it might even never be completed.
After all, Karl is just an ordinary person. He is still sure of growing ordinary plants with similar habits, but he has never come into contact with this kind of magical plant with special power.
However, when this happened, Allen immediately thought of his good friend, Beorn.
Skinchangers have special abilities in planting. The flowers they take care of can remain unbeatable all year round even in the cold north.
They love plants very much, and seeing some seeds from Valinor will definitely make them feel happier.
Moreover, the life-loving female skin-changer is also proficient in brewing and baking, making her the perfect candidate to complete this job.
What's more, the friendship between Allen and Beorn is deep enough that there is no need to worry about the loss of this precious formula.
The biggest problem is that after putting in some effort, the yield of these two special diets may not be too high, and there is no way around it.
Allen has never thought of using these two things as regular food. This is difficult and has very strong side effects.
It is said that if Rambas eats too much, he will become particularly longing for the sea and Valinor, and will despise his own mortal life. It is estimated that Miruwo, who is also from Valinor, should have similar side effects.
However, Valinor rarely accepts mortal mortals who are still alive. If possible, Allen thinks it is better to eat less of these things, lest he develop any irreversible mental problems and wander at sea all year round without returning home.
Of course, Allen's visit to Beorn this time was not entirely due to the matter of Rambas and Miruwo. The migration of the skin-changing clan had already begun after a long discussion.
…
The trees in the black forest are always so tall, with leafy green crowns, like big umbrellas, completely blocking the bright sunlight, making the light in the forest very dark.
In the past, countless evil minions haunted the jungle south of the Jungle Road, and the noises of orcs and the howls of wargs came one after another.
Not to mention those ugly spiders that suddenly jump down from high in the trees, and their spider web traps scattered all over the forest.
In the past, faced with such a harsh environment, most areas of the Black Forest were not suitable for human life at all, and the forest residents could only barely survive under the threat.
However, since the Battle of Gushan, this situation has changed very drastically.
The re-opened old dense forest road has added a lot of freshness to the nearby forests. Those dense forests that even the sun cannot penetrate have lost the gloomy atmosphere of the past and have become quiet and beautiful.
The reason for this change is that in order to initially ensure the safety of caravans and travelers, Allen built several strong outposts on this road that is more than 200 kilometers long.
Qingqi has also been arranged to patrol the roads and outposts at regular intervals.
After years of maintenance and struggle, it can be said that the nearby area has got rid of the darkness of the past and has returned to the embrace of light.
It's just that this light does not shine into the depths of the Black Forest. The deeper areas in the south are still shrouded in darkness. Occasionally, some strange things will happen there, and most people do not dare to set foot in that area.
However, in recent times, this forest that was once rarely visited has become lively. Large numbers of loggers, guarded by a well-armed force, have set up a camp in this forest.
Their purpose here is also very simple, that is, to cut down all the big trees, and then dig out the tangled tree roots to open up an open space in the forest suitable for building a manor.
This is the preliminary preparation for the migration of the skin-changers.
In the design of the goddess Yavanna, her creations, the immovable Orva, are interconnected and contribute to each other, but it is undeniable that if humans want to live according to their own way, they will inevitably destroy nature
The existing order, and then change everything around it according to your own needs.
For example, now, the manor where the skin changers live is naturally inseparable from flowers and grass, but the large and leafy trees will block all the sunlight. In the dark environment, flowers and green grass will not grow at all.
Not to mention that the thick and dense root systems of big trees will rob most of the nutrients in the land.
That's why Jamila sent such an advance team and made corresponding preparations.
