Chapter 222 The Infamous King of Rohan

"We followed the north-south highway, passed through Shabad, passed through the Dark Land, and then crossed Isengard and the southern road of Rohan, all the way to the capital of Gondor."

The two trainee rangers from the roadside fort left happily, followed closely by the caravan leader Charlie, who reported to Levi:

"The first half of the journey went smoothly, until we walked for a while in the dark land, when a group of people with dark eyes stopped us."

"Wearing clothes made of animal skins, holding stone spears and axes in their hands, they suddenly jumped out from both sides of the road, trying to scare the horses in front of them, but it was obvious that they had made the wrong idea. The horses in the roadside fort could not escape from You won’t be scared by anything.”

"But in the end we were forced to stop. There were too many of them and they blocked the road ahead of us."

"Just when our guards drew their weapons and saw that a hard battle was about to happen, an old man in white robes appeared. He said his name was Saruman and asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"Those dark barbarians were blocked by him. In the end, not only did they not attack us, but they also escorted us all the way to the Essen River crossing and did not leave until we reached the border of Rohan."

At the mention of this, Charlie sighed with emotion.

Our lord really has friends all over the world, and he enjoys eating wherever he goes.

"Darklanders."

Levi muttered the word.

The Dunlions are not the point, the point is Saruman. Has this guy actually started to unite with them so early...

Maybe something is about to begin.

"Saruman, he is indeed our ally now."

Are they indeed allies 'now'...

Charlie immediately grasped the key point of what Levi said.

It seems that he still cannot let down his guard, he thought as he continued to follow the previous report:

"In Rohan, our trip went smoothly at first. The people there welcomed us very much, especially our cider and various woolen products."

"Until we reach Edoras, the capital of Rohan."

Speaking of this, Charlie's expression became a little hard to explain.

"What happened to the capital of Rohan?"

"Sir, I don't want to judge a country's ruler, but the behavior of the King of Rohan is indeed unspeakable."

"Just say it."

Levi comforted: "Don't think too much, I'm here."

The plain words gave Charlie enough confidence.

"Yes, our transaction in Edoras went smoothly at first, until the king of Rohan heard about it. He surrounded us with a large number of soldiers, and then asked for the price - I guarantee that our prices are fair and reasonable. Yes, you see, the price of our goods is almost the same as that in the local market of Gondor, and the quality is much higher.”

"However, the king of Rohan said that we are black traders and people with evil intentions who are destroying the local market. He wants to seize our goods, even confiscate the weapons of our guards, and even take away our horses!"

"We almost had to walk home."

"oh?"

Levi sat sideways on the cart, tapping his fingers on the wooden board, and said nothing for a while.

Sengel's father was a bit rude, wasn't he just planning to have sex for nothing?

This approach is not much different from that of bandits and robbers.

"At that time, the people in the surrounding Rohan were very angry. Of course, they were not angry at us. I could feel that they were mainly angry at the behavior of their king. Including me, I also thought that we had done nothing wrong. Before going to Rohan, We have learned the local grammar in advance, and I can swear that we absolutely abide by the laws of Rohan."

"I know something about the King of Rohan. It's not your fault."

Levi said: "There should be a limit to his greed."

"But I don't think you look like the goods have been seized."

"Yes, my lord."

Charlie said: "A Rohan marshal saw your signature on the caravan flag, and he tried his best to persuade the King of Rohan so that he would let us go. Later, several cavalry captains also came to collectively attack the king. advice."

"The atmosphere was quite tense and I almost thought they were going to rebel."

"Under the persuasion of his subordinates, the king finally let us go. We didn't dare to stay in Rohan after that, so we came here quickly."

Even though the caravan guards are all elite, and their equipment is at the level of the regular elven army, there are only so many people, let alone a large army, and even a small cavalry team will be a big trouble.

No one dares to bet.

"I understand."

Levi kept this in mind.

A new itinerary was quietly decided.

"Okay, now that we're here, relax. Gondor is our official ally. I'm just going to have dinner with my friends here."

"Have a good appetite."

With Li Wei's guarantee, Charlie finally felt at ease and continued to organize caravan members to sell goods.

Seeing that there was nothing else going on here, Levi waved his hand and went back.

Of course, before leaving, I also took away some ingredients and the special wine of Roadside Fort, just in time for a meal.

Whoosh——

The sound of fireworks sounded, and Levi quickly returned to the top to meet with Ecthelion and Senger.

"I went to the caravan and brought some good things."

When he walked to the reception banquet hall, Levi placed the wine in his backpack. He took a bucket of each wine brought by the caravan.

Before this small banquet, Ecthelion and Thingol brought their families to meet Levi, including Denethor. Even Thingol's daughter, who had just been weaned, was brought to greet Levi.

For this innocent little guy who couldn't speak yet, Levi gave him a small silver jewelry made by Roadside Castle from the caravan as a gift.

"She will like it."

Thingol's young wife bowed slightly to express her gratitude on behalf of the little guy, and her manners were quite elegant.

Her jet-black hair and tall figure attracted people's attention.

The wife of the Prince of Rohan was also an extraordinary person. Thingol had introduced her to Levi before. Her name was Morwen, and she had some high-level Númenor blood, in other words, some Dunedain blood.

This was reflected in her offspring, that is, the height of her and Thingol's children exceeded the average level of Rohan people, and their hair color was also darker.

"A small gift to show my appreciation."

For the gift Levi gave to his daughter, Mo Wen smiled and said, "Anything you give is more precious than anything else."

It can be imagined that whenever his daughter attends a social evening in the future, even if others wear exquisite gold pendants on their heads or precious pearls and gemstones on their hands, they will not dare to show off in front of her.

Any wealth is meaningless in front of that inconspicuous little jewelry.
