[Chapter 113 The First Day in Winter Town]

After packing up and washing up,

David went to bed and had a good night’s rest. It was a very rough hut, and the bed was just a simple wooden bed that he had never learned carpentry, but it made David sleep very peacefully.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning. David, who was full of energy, did not stay in bed. He got up quickly, stretched his body, and simply moved his shoulders and neck.

After getting dressed, he fetched water to wash up. When he changed his clothes and stood in front of his wooden house, only the distant sky was slightly bright, and the whole Winter Town was still immersed in the darkness before dawn.

Even so, Winter Town has become lively, and the villagers living here have gotten up one after another: countless people are fetching water at the public water point, and many people are washing in front of the newly built row of taps on the other side of the water point.

David noticed that there were two street lights on the side of the water point and the tap, and he didn’t know who made them.

Smoke began to come out of the chimney of the canteen, and the women who worked in the canteen were taking vegetables from the cellar.

“It’s so lively!”

“Yes!” Peggy, who had walked around the village, greeted David after seeing him and said, “Are you up so early? I thought you would have a good rest after traveling so long and being busy for so long.”

“I went to bed early yesterday and slept soundly.” David was in good spirits. It was definitely better to relax and rest for a night than to run around outside and think about this and that all day long.

In addition, he finally figured out the upgrade requirements of the gold finger and determined the next goal. There were fewer distractions in his mind, and he felt that his holy light had become stronger in a trance.

“Good morning, Baron.” Not long after standing in front of the wooden house, his etiquette officer Elias also got up, but judging from his state, the etiquette officer did not rest well.

After a long journey, in a completely new environment, the future situation was also unclear. Elias might not have slept for long.

This was indeed the case. In addition to the problems that David thought of, Elias also had to worry about when Baron Glamorgan would get up? As the etiquette officer responsible for instructing Baron Glamorgan on various noble etiquette, it was impossible for Baron Glamorgan to be up while he was still sleeping soundly in his room.

So every once in a while, he would get up to check on the situation. This time, when he saw David had gotten up, he immediately put on his clothes, tidied up his appearance, and then appeared in front of Lord Glamorgan.

“Actually, you don’t have to get up so quickly.”

“No, this is my duty.” Standing outside, stimulated by the slightly cool air, Elias was much more energetic: “Lord Baron, if possible, I would like to confirm your daily schedule.”

“I don’t have any fixed schedule for the time being. If you mean those etiquette courses, you can arrange them after lunch.” It is not suitable to do strenuous exercise right after eating. Usually, he would practice bows and guns at that time, and now he can use it to learn these courses.

“Okay, Lord Baron.” After Elias said that he understood, he stood quietly aside, in a state where David would not notice him normally, but when he thought of him, he could glimpse him with a slight glance. At

this time, the two guards also got up and were preparing to arrange basic drills for the soldiers.

However, after seeing that the Baron had actually gotten up, Gareth Stanton exchanged a few words with Floyd, and Floyd walked straight towards David.

“My Lord.”

David nodded to Floyd and asked how was the rest? Was there anything uncomfortable?

“No, my Lord, everyone rested well.”

To be honest, when Floyd first saw the situation in Winter Town, he felt that he would inevitably suffer before the construction site became a real town.

The temperature in Winter Town is very low, and living in such an empty big wooden house, it might not be very comfortable at night.

Unexpectedly, after they moved in, they lit a fire according to the method Eva introduced before, and burned the so-called heating. Not only did everyone not feel cold, but they even wondered if summer had arrived early?

Moreover, the bedding distributed to everyone in Winter Town was very comfortable (ordered in bulk by Laura), and it was even more comfortable and warm than the bedding that King Dilan could buy. This made Floyd seriously doubt that all the bedding he bought before was garbage? Only high-ranking nobles can use real good bedding?

If that was the case, why would Winter Town give such good bedding to ordinary soldiers?

Although there were many questions in his mind, Floyd slept soundly.

Unlike Elias, he didn’t need to think about so many things, and his future was already set. The better Winter Town was, the happier he was.

When he woke up, although Winter Town was still dark, he had already agreed with Gareth Stanton yesterday that he needed to get up early and start work today.

Training soldiers, investigating the surrounding environment, thinking about how to arrange sentries, etc.

Considering that they only have ten soldiers, it is not easy to arrange shifts. Perhaps they need to recruit new soldiers in the territory appropriately, and build up the armed forces of Winter Town as soon as possible, which is also to show their abilities to their new lord.

Unexpectedly, the newly promoted noble Baron Glamorgan got up so early. The two had to discuss briefly and let Gareth Stanton continue to be responsible for the training. After all, these soldiers were recruited by him and were more willing to obey his orders;

Floyd reported to the Baron and was responsible for today’s guard work – the personal guard knight had the duty of guarding the lord.

By the way, he also had to find out the daily habits of the new lord.

Looking at Elias, who was standing in a similar position to him, but the other party was standing behind David on the left, while Floyd was behind him on the right. The two nodded to each other as a greeting, and then shut up and pretended to be dumb.

After David greeted Floyd, he knew that the personal guard knight was acting as a guard, and did not say anything like “Go and do your own thing!”

In the future, he will get used to this kind of daily life with someone following him at any time.

After chatting with Peggy for a few words, he noticed that Floyd behind him was very concerned about what Peggy said, and there was a bit of surprise on his face.

This is not surprising. From what Peggy reported, it can be known that the defense of Winter Town is currently in the charge of this young woman named Peggy Carter. It is not that there are no female warriors in the Kingdom of Tiran, but the number is very, very rare. I didn’t expect that there is actually a female warrior in Winter Town.

When Floyd was surprised, Elias had similar thoughts, and at the same time, he also remembered Miss Eva McKenna who led them to visit the whole town yesterday.

At this time, the young woman named Eva also walked out of her hut and came to David: “Morning! David.”

“Morning!”

Elias, the etiquette officer, wanted to remind the young Miss McKenna that she should call him Lord Baron Glamorgan, but he thought it would be better to talk about this matter separately later, and it would be better to pretend to be a dummy now. Because he began to think about what the relationship between Eva McKenna and the Baron was.

He was not the only one who was thinking about similar questions. Floyd beside him was also thinking about this question.

From Sharon, who had previously met and accompanied Baron David Glamorgan to the capital; to Peggy Carter, who was responsible for the defense of Winter Town; and Eva McKenna, who seemed to be the most important assistant of the Baron.

“Winter Town, is the Baron the only man who manages affairs?”

Fortunately, the appearance of Edwin Van Cleef brought Floyd and Elias’s gradually deviated thoughts back on track. After seeing this strong craftsman leader, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts: they were a little worried just now that they, who were not women, would not be taken seriously?

However…

Floyd looked carefully at Van Cleef standing in front of him. He had just arrived yesterday and saw so many people at once, and he didn’t observe everyone carefully.

After a full rest today, he was full of energy and started his guard work. When he professionally examined anyone who appeared in front of him, he found that this so-called craftsman leader gave him a very dangerous feeling.

But when he looked carefully, he found that this man named Edwin Van Cleef was ordinary and unremarkable. He was the kind that was hard to notice when he walked into the crowd. He doubted whether there was something wrong with his judgment.

When he wanted to take a few more glances, Van Cleef had already left.

Through the conversation just now, the people here knew that Van Cleef was going to have breakfast and then start a day’s work: checking the progress of the project in various places and the construction quality of each area.

“Let’s go to have breakfast too!”

David looked around and saw that everyone who should have gotten up had already gotten up. The only one left was someone like Pharmacist Cordell. He was the kind of person who could be found if there was anything needed, and he didn’t need to be taken care of when there was nothing to do.

When everyone arrived at the cafeteria, it was full of people, and they were all strong and sturdy men.

“This time is the time for the craftsmen to have breakfast. Generally, other people will wait until the craftsmen have finished eating before coming.” Peggy wanted to remind David before, but was interrupted by Van Cleef and forgot to mention it again.

“Is that so? Then let’s go to the farmland first and have breakfast when we come back.”

The Baron’s decision, whether it was Floyd or Elias, would only obey unconditionally, and naturally would not raise any objections.

But before leaving the cafeteria, Floyd took a special look at the men in the cafeteria, and secretly sighed in his heart: “These are all good seedlings that can be trained into elites! Where did the Lord invite these craftsmen from?”
