Bringing the MC system to Middle-earth.

Chapter 4 Departure
Bilbo was a little restless at night.

"I'll go clean up the room so it's convenient for you to sleep. It's the empty room inside."

"Let me come too." Levi followed.

Bilbo did not refuse.

While bending over to help clean up the room, Levi finally asked a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time:
"Speaking of which, what time is it now?"

"Now? Of course it's at night. Normally most people would be asleep at this time."

As he answered, Bilbo picked up a small box that was a bit in the way, and Levi took it and put it outside the door.

Both of them had their hands busy.

Levi shook his head: "No, I mean, what year is it and what time is it."

"Oh, this year, this year is 1340, and it is May now."

1340 years.

Clang.

"Ow—"

Levi's head hit the eaves of the house accidentally, and his life bar shook, but no blood was lost.

1340 of the Shire Calendar, or 2940 of the Third Era.

When did the dwarves' journey to the Lonely Mountain begin?

It should be the end of April 1341.

In other words, the current timeline is one year before the Lonely Mountain Expedition begins.

At this time, Gandalf was still on his way, and Thorin was still wandering and working.

Dwarves, Elves, Men, Orcs, and Wargs.

Evil dragon, golden mountain.

So big eyes, Doguerdu.

war.

The One Ring...

A series of words flashed through Levi's mind.

At the same time, a black shadow grew in the pupil.

"Are you okay, Levi?"

indistinct--

With a flicker of his eyes, Levi came back to his senses.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, I'm fine, I just bumped into something by accident."

"I guess you are quite tall for a human being," Bilbo said teasingly.

"Of course, I'm 1.85 meters tall!"

Levi subconsciously straightened his chest.

Boom!
The health bar jumped.

His waist immediately bent again.

"puff."

Looking at Levi's grinning face, Bilbo couldn't help laughing out loud.

Levi covered his head and shook his head.

What can be done in a year?

Peaceful days always pass quickly.

a few days later.

During a leisure moment after a midnight snack, Levi sat on a small chair in the garden, holding a piece of weed in his mouth, staring at an unusually bright and conspicuous star in the night sky.

If an ordinary person came to this world, he would have nothing to rely on - even if he knew the historical direction of the Lord of the Rings very well, there would be very limited things he could do in a year. Perhaps he would even have problems figuring out where he was and how to survive.

However, Levi was destined not to worry about these things.

crunch.

"Levi, it's late, aren't you going to bed yet?"

Levi turned his head and saw Bilbo pushing the door open.

"Right now, I want to look at the stars outside for a while."

"Okay, remember to lock the door later."

Bilbo went back to the house first.

Levi yawned, looked at his full life bar and overflowing hunger bar, suddenly jumped up from the chair, turned around, and carefully looked at this cozy Hobbit cave.

It’s actually not bad to live a peaceful life like this.

Of course, the premise is that this kind of life will not be destroyed by something...

The next morning.

Just as the sky was getting light, there was a rustling noise at the entrance of the little Hobbit hole.

Bilbo opened his eyes with difficulty in a daze, threw off the quilt, got out of bed, and stuck his head out of the door.

"Levi?"

Seeing Levi, who was dressed neatly at the door, Bilbo asked:
"Are you going out?"

Levi stopped and turned around.

"I'm going on, Mr. Baggins."

As he spoke, Levi bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for your hospitality during this period. Please let me repay you next time we meet."

Bilbo blinked several times and perked up immediately.

"Why don't you stay a few more days? I still have a lot of things to introduce to you..."

Levi smiled and glanced at him.

Bilbo choked on the words that were about to come out of his mouth, knowing that there seemed to be no way he could keep this man today.

"Parting is always a necessity, but I believe we will see each other again soon, Mr. Baggins." Levi said meaningfully.

"I'm about to embark on my adventure."

Taking risks?

Something in Bilbo's heart was vaguely stirred, but it immediately fell silent and he just shook his head.

"Then please wait a moment, Levi."

After saying this, Baggins quickly ran into the inner room, then ran to the storage shelf. After a while, he brought back a bundle and handed it to Levi.

"Bring this with you!"

"What is this?" "Some food. I think you need this. You need rations when traveling, right?"

Levi was stunned for a moment.

He took the bag, squatted down, patted Bilbo's shoulder gently, and said sincerely: "Thank you, my friend."

Although the two had only known each other for a few days, they had a very pleasant time getting along. Coupled with Levi's systematic cooking skills and the stories he could tell at random, the relationship between the man and the Hobbit was already quite good.

"Levi, you must come again!"

This Hobbit, who had never left the Shire, felt reluctant to leave.

Levi smiled and nodded: "I will."

Separation seems to have become a common occurrence in this land.

There was no excessive sentimentality, just a simple wave of the hand, and the two returned to their own paths.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, Levi still shamelessly asked Bilbo to help him get a map before leaving.

In fact, as a viewer of the story who once had a God's perspective, Levi was familiar with the geography of Zhongzhou. But no matter how familiar he was, after all, he had never really walked there, so it was safer to have a map.

Shire, where all the stories begin.

To the north are the ruins of the Kingdom of Arnor and the Angmar Plateau.

To the west are Lynton and the Blue Mountains.

To the east, across the Brandywine Bridge, is Bree, and further east is the Lonely Land, where wanderers are often seen, watching for evil in the east and guarding this wilderness in secret.

Going south between Brandywine Bridge and Bree, there are two large areas:

Old forest and ancient tombs.

Both areas are deserted and there are always strange rumors circulating, so you need to be careful to avoid them.

Anyone who has played Minecraft knows that Minecraft players must first have a base before developing, otherwise they will be blocked everywhere for various reasons.

Only with a fixed residence can people feel at ease.

After thinking it over, Levi's eyes were fixed on one place.

A large area east of Bree.

An area called the Lonely Land.

The area is vast and sparsely populated, making it a perfect place to build a family and develop.

Of course, there are actually quite a few places that meet these two conditions.

There is an important reason for choosing to build a home here: that is, in the future, both the Lonely Mountain Expedition and the Ring Bearer will pass through that area.

Levi must join in the fun.

It would be much more convenient if we could have a base there.

Just do it.

Put away the map and find the direction.

From dawn to dusk, Levi ran on the road, speeding eastward without stopping.

Levi discovered a few days ago that as long as he had enough food, his physical strength would be unlimited and he would not feel tired.

The trade-off is that food is consumed quickly.

The rations Bilbo gave were enough for a normal hobbit to eat for a week, but Levi consumed half of it in just one day.

That's a week's worth of food for a hobbit.

But correspondingly, the efficiency is also very good.

In just one day, Levi crossed several Shire towns, crossed the Brandywine Bridge, and came to the old woods and ancient tombs.

It can be called a thousand-mile horse among humans. It can keep running as long as there is enough food.

It was completely dark at this moment.

Yet the sky was not dark.

With the help of starlight, Levi found a not very thick dead tree on the side of the road and took out a stone axe.

Boom boom boom boom…

Soon, a crisp breaking sound was heard, and the entire dead tree broke from the bottom and fell to the ground with a loud bang.

thump!
In the silent wilderness, the sound of the dead tree falling was particularly obvious.

Levi didn't care, but continued to chop the fallen tree trunk with a stone axe, dividing the dry natural firewood into several small pieces to use as firewood.

A moment later, a bonfire was lit.

Levi took out a large bag of food from Bilbo's backpack.

This package of food is counted as one item and takes up only one slot.

But if you take the food out, you have to take up another seat.

Levi guessed that the things put into the same inventory had to be either exactly the same and could be stacked, or they had to be counted as "a whole."

While thinking casually, Levi skewered a few sausages on a wooden stick and roasted them by the campfire, while at the same time he was thinking about various synthesizers.

There is not a single shield or armor, the things that can most directly protect oneself and increase combat effectiveness.

They are all missing one most crucial thing:
iron.

Seeing that the bonfire was starting to burn out, Levi took out a few sticks and filled it with fire.

If someone happened to pass by at this moment, they would probably exclaim and mistake Levi for a "wizard" with magical powers.

With nothing to do, Levi took out the stone sword and played with it.

A line of explanation appeared:
[Stone Sword·Attack Power +5]
This weapon looks like it was meticulously carved by a craftsman. Its surface is as smooth as jade, its sides are extremely sharp, and its blade is quite solid, almost as solid as metal products.

It is simply a perfect work of art.

Levi looked at it carefully and felt that it was worth marveling at no matter how many times he looked at it.

With such fine quality, it can be auctioned directly as a collectible.

crunch.

The burning wood behind him suddenly made a sound, and Levi remembered that he was still roasting sausages.

However, when he turned around, he found that the fire had become dimmer.

Does this stick burn so quickly?

Although I have doubts, I can't put out the fire because the intestines are not cooked yet.

Levi took out a few sticks and threw them into the fire.

But the next moment, it seemed to hit something.

Make a bang sound.

His heart skipped a beat and Levi suddenly raised his head.

He saw a mummified head with red eyes and a layer of dry and gray scalp sticking out from the shadows, staring down at him condescendingly.
