[Chapter 124: Benefits of Winter Town]
Leon and Klausa listened to David introducing the ambulance to them, and had a more intuitive understanding of this magical place, Winter Town.
At the water point not far away, several soldiers from the Kingdom of Tiran were looking towards the east of the town while drawing water.
“What on earth is that?”
“How should I know? This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing.” A soldier turned his head and looked into the distance. He did not show much interest in the yellow metal giant: “When I was having dinner yesterday, I heard those craftsmen say that this thing might be a kind of machine called a puppet.”
“Machinery? Puppet? What is that?”
He did not get an answer. Seeing his partner spread his hands with an expression of “You ask me, who should I ask?”, he finally gave up asking further questions, quietly took the clean water, and went back to clean the dormitory.
Holding the bucket, he looked into the distance again, and secretly sighed: This place called Winter Town, there are so many strange things!
“Maybe, I can talk to those craftsmen?”
The soldier walked towards the dormitory with a bucket, not noticing that a slender figure slowly appeared in the dark corner not far from him.
“This time, my father should recognize my strength!”
After looking around and making sure that no one noticed him, the slender figure seemed to blend into the shadows and disappeared, as if nothing had happened here…
David introduced the ambulance to Leon and Krauser, and the ambulance also stated that it had no ill intentions. Then Krauser and Leon felt particularly magical about being able to see Transformers in this place.
Even though Leon already knew that anyone from any world would appear in Winter Town, he had never thought that he would be able to see Transformers, a “legendary life form” with his own eyes. As for
Krauser? He now believed everything Leon had just said. He once again confirmed that Leon was not a normal person and would always encounter all kinds of strange things. In the future, he didn’t need to doubt anything Leon said to him, and just expressed his belief.
At this time, Elias said that he didn’t understand a word these people said, but it didn’t matter…
The ambulance was already loaded with the Brunnian human common language, but when talking to Leon and Krauser, he still had to use the English he learned on Earth.
“So, this power called holy light can really heal my arm?”
“Yes.”
Krauser looked at David in front of him. He was silent for a moment and asked a very important question: “So, what price do I need to pay?”
In Krauser’s eyes, you have to pay for what you want; it’s the same as getting rewards after completing a task.
“Are you still working in the original department now?” David did not directly propose recruitment, but asked a question.
When David asked this question, several people present understood what David meant.
“No, I was fired after confirming that my arm was disabled.” Krauser was not surprised by his experience. He had seen too many similar situations in countless years, and he didn’t think he would be the special one.
Leon next to him seemed a little embarrassed. He should have said something at this time, such as when Krauser’s arm is healed, he can help Krauser return to his original department, or go to other departments.
However, he should not need to say these words now.
“What do you think of my place?”
Krauser looked at David, then looked around, and his sight finally stopped at the ambulance not far away: “You should not be short of people here, right?”
“I am still short of people here, especially excellent talents in various fields.” Looking at Krauser and Leon in front of him, David actually hoped that the characters from the Resident Evil movie version would come.
Compared with the world view of the game version, the world of the movie version of Resident Evil is basically a doomsday background, with only a few humans struggling to survive, and these people are easily recruited to Winter Town and can easily integrate into this world.
After all, their original world has been destroyed. Even if it will be saved in the future, there will be few people left in the world at that time, and the vegetation, organisms, and climate environment will be destroyed. Even the few survivors will probably not be too nostalgic for that world.
The world view of the game version is a relatively normal world. The biochemical crisis is only a small-scale local crisis, and it can be solved in the end.
This means that the world cannot recruit a large number of ordinary civilians, and can only absorb some specific talents.
“I should feel honored to be favored by the Baron.” Krauser did not hesitate for too long. People like him would not waste time thinking about this and that. He knew what he wanted from the beginning. When
David showed his appreciation for him and showed his mysterious power, he was already moved. Now that the other party took the initiative to recruit him, he had no idea of refusing, nor was he going to play tricks like refusing but welcoming. After all,
he was in his thirties. He could see that although the Baron in front of him took the initiative to recruit him, he did not pay much attention to him. If he really refused, what awaited him would not be recruited again, but never seeing each other again.
Therefore, Krauser decisively accepted David’s invitation. As for the specific scope of work, he could slowly understand it later. He was not even in a hurry to treat his arm. He could wait until he showed a certain value and then receive the reward with peace of mind.
“Welcome!”
David didn’t waste time on any investigation. He raised his hand and released a ball of holy light, which enveloped Krauser.
As he was enveloped by the holy light, Krauser felt that his left arm was recovering rapidly. Even some hidden injuries in other parts of his body and various minor ailments accumulated over the years were healed by this golden holy light. The
whole ball of holy light only enveloped him for two or three seconds, but when the holy light dissipated, Krauser felt that he was “alive” again. At
this moment, he felt that he had made an extremely correct decision! He
clenched his fists and felt that his body had returned to the state when he was in his twenties, which was the peak period of his body.
Later, with the increase of age, the increase of the number of missions, the accumulation of various major and minor injuries, and the hidden injuries accumulated by squeezing the potential of his body for many years, he could feel that his physical condition was gradually getting worse.
Now, these problems have disappeared, just because of the magical power called holy light.
Just when Krauser wanted to ask something, the Lord Baron of Glamorgan in front of him said something that made him even more excited.
“I have several methods of cultivating mysterious powers, including holy light. If you are interested, you can choose one of them to learn.”
“Can I also master such magical powers?”
“Yes.” David nodded: “As long as you can learn it.”
“Don’t you have to pay any extra price?”
“That’s the benefit of being a resident of Winter Town.” David looked at Krauser. For such a ‘simple’ person, it is actually very easy to control. Just give him what he wants: “Of course, you can also think of it as catching up with a good opportunity.”
Krauser understood. Lord Glamorgan in front of him had said before that Winter Town had just been established not long ago, so there was a large demand for various talents. Therefore, if you choose to join at this time, you will naturally receive some preferential treatment.
“I understand!” Krauser looked at David firmly, as if he was swearing: “I will never let you down.” After
expressing his position, Krauser looked at Leon and expressed his gratitude to this former partner.
It was Leon who brought him to this magical place. If it weren’t for Leon, his arm would not have been cured, and he would not have been able to get his physical fitness back to the peak.
“You’re welcome. We’re partners.”
Leon smiled back. He was happy that Klausa had recovered his arm and got a ‘new job’, and congratulated him.
As for Klausa’s decision to settle in Winter Town, he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Anyway, he could go back and forth at will, and they would have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future.
After solving the problems between Klausa and Leon, Leon took Klausa around Winter Town to get familiar with the situation. At the same time, he said goodbye to the ambulance and watched the ambulance return to his own world.
When all these things were done, Floyd had already been waiting with his men.
“Wait a minute, I’ll change some equipment first.”
Klausa and Leon, who had not yet left, expressed their desire to go with David when they learned that David was going to the Winter Forest in the north.
“Don’t you have work to do?”
“I’m on vacation.” Leon also wanted to experience this kind of relaxing hunting activity and take a look at the forest in this world. What is the difference between it and the earth?
As for Klausa, he felt that he was in very good condition now, but he needed some weapons to arm himself.
In his opinion, he, who accepted the recruitment of Lord Baron Glamorgan, is currently doing the work of guarding, but he is a little skeptical whether this seemingly ‘backward’ place has weapons that he is familiar with?
“I can make do with bows and swords…”
Clausa wanted to say this, and under the leadership of David, he saw a lot of pistols, assault rifles, and grenade launchers. At the same time, he noticed the chariot next to him that was simply camouflaged.
“Is that a chariot?” Clausa thought of the ambulance he had just seen, and he felt that he might not be asking clearly: “I mean, isn’t that a Transformer?”
“No!” David waved his hand: “It’s a very ordinary Weasel ultra-light tank.”
Hearing that it was not a Transformer, Clausa went over to check it out, and then looked at the surrounding environment and the soldiers next to him wearing ‘ancient armor’.
“What a weird combination…”
