[Chapter 117: Land Encirclement and Territory Drawing]
In Gu Yi’s perception, David gave him a very strange feeling.
When they first met, although he looked like a handsome young man on the surface, Gu Yi could feel a very huge holy light from David.
Such a powerful holy light means that the young man in front of him is a powerful spellcaster.
But if that’s all, then there is not much difference between David and Steve? But when she observed further, she noticed something different.
Gu Yi had felt this feeling from some lords of dimensions.
Could it be that this David is the master of the power of holy light? But if that’s the case, isn’t this “Lord of Holy Light” a little too weak?
Observing further, in a trance, Gu Yi felt as if he was staring at a more “powerful” existence.
With this feeling, Gu Yi stopped her observation. The feeling that David just gave her reminded her of that existence. It was definitely not a powerful existence that “ordinary people who can’t even transcend the universe they live in” can look directly at or even provoke. She began
to doubt in her heart that maybe David was just a projection or clone of that powerful person. Gu Yi suddenly felt that everything made sense.
In her cognition, only by reaching that level can one create this town that can connect countless universes.
At this time, David had no idea what the Ancient One was thinking. He could feel that the other party was examining him, but he didn’t understand what this person’s reaction meant? Was he scared? Am I so scary? He
glanced at the river unconsciously and looked at his appearance with the reflection in the water: very handsome! Why did the Ancient One react like this?
Many question marks popped up in his head, and the Ancient One seemed a little distracted, so the conversation between the two entered an awkward stage.
In the end, it was the Ancient One who broke the silence: “This Winter Town is very beautiful.”
“Master Ancient One, are you interested in settling here?”
“Hahaha, if I hadn’t already determined the path I was going to take in the future, coming here would indeed be a good choice.”
David glanced at Master Ancient One, and from the other’s words he knew one thing: this Master Ancient One from the movie universe should also report to Eternity after his death.
Then the two chatted for a few more sentences, but they didn’t talk about anything serious. They were basically small talk about how the river was clear, the mountain was beautiful, and the forest was full of vitality.
The slightly more formal topics were all about the Holy Light.
After chatting for almost three hours, Ancient One said that she had a very happy chat with David and was ready to go back.
At the end, David confirmed again: “Are you really going to let Steve become the Supreme Sorcerer?”
“Yes.” Ancient One nodded. She had already decided that the next Supreme Sorcerer would be Steve Rogers: “Before coming here, I had already decided. After coming here, I am more convinced that my choice is correct.”
With the ability to obtain mana stably and spells that do not require extra payment, Ancient One feels that in this era when the overall environment does not belong to magic, the Holy Light is the best way out for Kamar-Taj.
The biggest regret of Ancient One’s trip was that she did not see the powerful existence that transmitted the silver holy light to Steve. She sensed for a while that the powerful person should not be in this world.
At the same time, Steve, who has mastered the power of the Holy Light and become the spokesperson of the Holy Light, has no problems in moral character, and has the magical place of Winter Town as a backing.
No matter from which aspect, he can be qualified for the position of Supreme Sorcerer.
As for the possible troubles? That is something that the next Supreme Sorcerer Steve Rogers needs to worry about.
After saying goodbye to David, she followed Steve to leave Winter Town and return to the Marvel Universe. Next, she was going to train Steve to become the Supreme Sorcerer, and then find a suitable opportunity to start her new journey…
After the Ancient One visited Winter Town and left, David did not go to find Leon, but took Elias and Floyd around Winter Town, and finally came to the construction site in the north.
It was dusty and full of various smells. The craftsmen worked hard on the construction site, sweating, and transformed this seemingly ordinary land into Winter Town little by little.
To David’s surprise, he actually saw Anduin among the workers.
The prince of Storm Kingdom was constantly shuttling around the construction site with Ilsa, his personal guard, and would chat with a worker from time to time.
Standing at the edge of the construction site and watching for a while, when Anduin walked out of the construction site, David called out, “Hope (Anduin)!” and called the prince to his side.
“Good morning, Baron Glamorgan!”
After a night and half a morning of fermentation, David has successfully upgraded Winter Village to Winter Town, and he has become the Baron of Glamorgan. Everyone knows it.
Anduin, who has been taught complete aristocratic etiquette since childhood, naturally knows how to address David correctly.
“What are you talking about with the craftsmen?” David was very puzzled. Didn’t Anduin know that these craftsmen were members of the Defias Brotherhood? If he knew, why didn’t he keep a proper distance, but came closer?
Looking at Ilsa Corbin who was following Anduin, the female warrior had a sad face. Seeing David looking at her, she could only answer obscurely: “Hope is very curious about some things, and I can’t stop him.”
Although it was very obscure, David still understood: Anduin knew the identities of these people, and he also knew that he should avoid them. But he had some questions to ask these people, and as a guard, Ilsa had no way to forcibly stop them after the prince made a decision, so she could only follow the prince into the “monster pile”.
“In the past few months, I noticed that the craftsmen are very happy. I want to know why they are so happy?” Anduin was very curious. There was a lot of work every day, and the craftsmen had to do physical work in the severe cold, but he did not see any dissatisfaction on the faces of these craftsmen.
However, before coming here, he only knew that these craftsmen were originally a group of robbers, thieves, and bandits who were undisciplined and lazy. They were a group of ungrateful people and a cancer of the Storm Kingdom.
According to this description, shouldn’t these people have expressed their dissatisfaction to David, the mayor, long ago? They even went back to their old jobs and turned into robbers, thieves, and hooligans again, turning this small village into ruins.
The knowledge in his mind was completely inconsistent with what he saw in front of him, which made Anduin fall into great doubts.
The solution that Anduin thought of was to ask these people in person and know what they really thought, so as to judge what the truth was.
“Is that so… do you know the answer?”
“I asked several people, but I don’t quite understand what they said.”
David looked at Anduin, and the little prince’s face was full of confusion. It is estimated that as the communication increases, his confusion will gradually turn into depression. After all, the image of his father Varian has always been perfect in his heart. If he knew about his father’s imperfections from these craftsmen, I wonder if it would be a huge blow to the young Anduin.
“Sometimes don’t think too much. Listen to more people, and the answer may come out automatically.”
After comforting the still young Prince Anduin, David took the two of them around the village and finally returned to his wooden house.
“The place I took you to just now is the area actually controlled by Winter Town.” Then he pointed to the northeast: “There is a border town under construction in that direction, not far from Winter Town.”
Then, David pointed to several other directions: “Starting this spring, more villages will be built around Winter Town.”
Floyd, a personal guard knight, immediately understood the meaning of his master’s words: “My lord, do you need me to lead people to expel them?”
David smiled. This is the difference between a real subordinate and a partner.
If Steve were asked to do these things, he would definitely not agree, and he might even persuade himself.
Peggy might understand, but she wouldn’t do such a thing either.
Perhaps only Fording understood why David wanted to do such a thing, and was willing to help. Unfortunately, Fording had his own things to do, and now he was focusing all his attention on Azeroth.
“The town in the northeast was already under construction last year. It’s meaningless to expel them now. Let them help us reclaim the land there.” David pointed in other directions: “But the other directions…” “
I know what to do.” Floyd straightened his back and put his right fist against his left chest: “Please rest assured, sir, we will never let anyone build a new village within the ‘sphere of influence of Winter Town’.” “
You and Gareth take turns to lead the soldiers to expel them… and train the soldiers by the way.” At present, there are not many positions in Winter Town suitable for these professional soldiers, and they can only rely on training to vent their excess energy. Instead of
keeping them in the town, it is better to send them out to draw boundaries and enclose the land, and at the same time, Floyd can get familiar with the soldiers as soon as possible.
There are only ten soldiers in total, and now they all listen to Gareth Stanton. This is not a good thing.
“Yes, sir!”
Floyd realized that the baron wanted to use him, and he wanted to take a few soldiers with him immediately, ride on his warhorse, and then clean up all the “invaders” around Winter Town to prove his ability to the lord.
“By the way, sir, what if these newly established villages are willing to pledge allegiance to Winter Town?”
“If you want to pledge allegiance to me, come and live in Winter Town.”
David’s power has just started, and he wants to concentrate all kinds of resources on the development and construction of Winter Town. How can he cut meat from himself to give to others?
Even if those are just meat that is just at the mouth of Winter Town and has not been eaten by him!
