Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 106: Traveling Merchants
Not long after, Levi and Bilbo came out of the Sackville house.

No one held him accountable for breaking into a private house.

Not to mention the Shire's guards, even the entire Middle-earth can't find anyone who dares to intervene in this matter.

But Levi didn't do anything to the two hobbits.

Although what the Sackville-Bagginses did was excessive, it was only some property disputes and some moral issues after all. From the current perspective, what they did could not be considered as a big evil. At most, they were a little greedy and annoying.

Levi just scared them, asked them to apologize, and vowed never to have any improper thoughts about Bag End again before leaving.

That's enough.

"After all, I'm not a bad guy."

Hearing Levi's words, Bilbo hesitated and didn't know whether to nod or shake his head.

But to be honest, it does feel really good to let out this breath.

As one might expect, the Sackvilles would not dare to harass Bilbo again for a long, long time.

Bilbo had two swords at home, one was Sting, and the other was the dwarf steel sword that Levi gave him. One was long and the other was short, both were quite sharp.

This is both a commemoration and can be used to ensure his safety.

After staying at Bilbo's house for one night, Levi left at dawn with Bilbo watching him go.

Before leaving, Levi deliberately passed by the Sackville family's house. He could clearly feel two pairs of eyes inside.

The feeling didn't disappear until he walked a long way away.

This family is not hopeless.

Their ending was not good. In later generations, Lotso, the heir of the Sackville family, made a deal with Saruman because of his greed and eventually died miserably.

After realizing that it was their own actions that had brought chaos to the Shire and harmed many people, Lobelia, the only remaining member of the Sackville family and the wife of Ortho, left all the family property to Frodo to help others, and then left Hobbiton without taking anything with her.

These Hobbits...

They are hobbits after all.

As he was thinking, Levi had unknowingly walked out of the border of Shire.

Just like that, we crossed the old forest and walked across the snow.

Suddenly, he had an idea and looked to the south.

There was a dead tree stump with a very smooth cross-section sticking out on the ground, and next to it was a familiar abandoned bonfire that looked very old.

It’s been years indeed.

The last time I passed by here was two years ago.

This is exactly the place where Levi was attacked by a corpse demon when he first debuted, the border where the ancient tomb mound meets the main road.

ho...

Faint wailing sounds rang out from the forest, reminding passers-by not to stay here for long.

It also reminded Levi of their location.

Back then, I could chop down a corpse with just a stone sword and no armor. Do you still want to scare me now?
How can you bear this injustice?
Levi frowned, thinking that these corpse monsters were a bit too arrogant. It wasn't even completely dark yet, yet they dared to make strange noises and scare people.

The bonfire was lit again, Levi sat down and roasted some meat.

Only this time there was nothing to bother him.

It was not until the starlight replaced the afterglow of the sun that Levi stood up and took the initiative to walk towards the ancient tomb mound.

Just walked to a gloomy place.

Levi stood on a high place and looked around. There were scattered building ruins and tall rocks scattered everywhere, and near these special things, there were always some tombs.

As he watched, Levi suddenly raised his head and noticed something strange.

The sky seemed a little blurry at this moment, and the starlight gradually dimmed.

Not snow, nor clouds.

It's getting foggy.

"Ow-!!"

A shrill scream rang in his ears, and Levi's whole body sank, as if he was hit by some kind of curse, and his steps became heavy.

【Slow: 3s】

I have to say, these corpse monsters are very powerful and can buff people at any time.

But...

"This thing is far inferior to the Ringwraiths."

Levi casually slashed behind him, and there was a loud bang, and fire immediately ignited. The corpse demon that came to attack let out a sharp cry, and tried to make its body invisible to escape. However, Levi did not give it a chance. He chased it and stabbed it a few times, directly clearing its blood volume.

It turned into ashes on the spot.

But this is an ancient mound after all, with tombs everywhere, which means that this is the base camp of the corpse demon.

In the sudden thick fog, Levi saw many tall, dark figures. They slowly gathered together, some moving their skinny bodies, and some transforming into some strange souls approaching this side.

At a glance, there are at least twenty of them.

If these corpse monsters were released onto the battlefield outside and there were no weapons to target them, they would be enough to kill an elite team of hundreds of people.

There are many ways to restrain corpses in this world, and the sword forged by elves happens to be one of them.

Even without the elven sword, Levi's own sword could still cause real damage to them.

"Die!" Levi drew out his sword, first swung out a few sword energies as the front dish, then immediately sprinted, fell into the group of corpses and monsters and activated various sword skills. For a moment, his body flashed afterimages, as if he had activated his invincible power.

A moment later, when he had already chopped down several corpse demons, he suddenly remembered something.

"Oh, you seem to be dead."

"Disappear!"

Levi rushed into the group of zombies again.

These corpse monsters are indeed something.

Their breath can make people panic, their screams can slow people down, and their attacks carry the power of curses that can gradually drain away a person's vitality.

In the past, even if Levi was wearing diamond armor, he might not want to hang around here.

But he is now wearing a full set of enchanted netherite armor, and his backpack always contains a set of golden apples and various potions.

It is true that these corpse monsters can break his defense, but under the crushing of resources, they can only dissipate with hatred.

The ancient tomb mound is not peaceful tonight.

The burial objects on the corpses were looted, and many tombs have since ushered in true peace.

When Levi walked towards the border of the ancient mound on the ashes of the burnt corpse demon, no one in the cemeteries behind him dared to make a sound.

Even the fog in front of him dispersed a little, as if guiding him in the direction of exit.

[Achieved title: Corpse Demon Nemesis]

From then on, there was one more group of people in the world who revolved around Levi.

Perhaps for a long time in the future, the remaining corpses here will no longer dare to go out and harm people, or even dare not emerge from the graves.

The road from the Shire to Bree became quite safe at night, and even if a traveler accidentally strayed from the main road, he would not be attacked.

All this is because the undead spirits who are usually responsible for bringing fear to people experienced fear firsthand on this day.

However, it must be said that these corpse demons are worthy of being elite monsters, and the probability of them dropping skill balls is much greater than that of orcs and wargs.

If the number of zombies was not that large compared to that of orcs, and they were not particularly good at hiding, Levi would really like to stay here for a few days to try to max out his skills.

Unfortunately, they are not hospitable.

a few days later.

The first snow is on hold.

Levi walked slowly on the road, passed Fengyunding, and headed straight for the roadside fort.

But on this day, when he walked to the fork in the road leading to the roadside fort, he saw a group of people standing there, looking in the direction of the roadside fort.

There was a large number of transport carts behind, which seemed to be loaded with a lot of things.

Levi's attention was immediately attracted.

The clothes these people were wearing did not look like they were produced in nearby towns, and the guards next to the rear panel carriage were wearing armor of a style he had never seen before.

"What's wrong with you?"

Levi took the initiative to go up and say hello.

"Hello."

The leader of the team stood up and said to Levi politely:

"Excuse me, sir. We are traveling merchants from the far east. The last time we passed by here was three years ago. If my memory serves me correctly, there was no such road at that time."

“Oh, there really wasn’t such a road at that time.”

Levi guided enthusiastically:

"This road leads to a recently built city called Roadside Fort. If you do have some good stuff, perhaps the owner there will welcome you."

"Of course, we have a lot of good stuff."

The peddler leader patted the cargo board behind him with a confident look on his face.

"I swear by the grapes in my house, every time we pass by here, our pockets are filled to overflowing with silver coins, and there is nothing left of the goods."

"This is definitely filled with fine wine."

"Are you wine merchants?"

"Yes, sir, our wine is such that the kings of the elves would be intoxicated by it, both in ancient times and now."

"Oh?"

Levi suddenly became interested.

"I'm just going to Roadside Castle, I can take you with me, I think the owner there will welcome you."

"But I still want to ask, you said you are from the East, is it River Valley City or Changhu Town?"

The head of the traveling merchants heard these two names and shook his head.

"Do not."

"We come from farther than that—"

"Dowinion."
