[Chapter 144: Dividing the Land to Win People’s Hearts]
The strange state of arcane energy distracted Sylvanas and Jaina a little. They came back to their senses when they walked around Winter Town.
At this time, Laura had called Peggy and explained the accommodation matters to several diplomats from Azeroth.
For now, they will choose a location they like, and then Winter Town will help build a wooden house as a temporary residence.
As for the better house, they will have to wait until the infrastructure of Winter Town is completed before they can start.
“In addition, here are some books on learning the Common Language of Azeroth and the Common Language of Brunnia.” Laura took out a few books and handed them to the people in front of her.
She printed a lot of these books for learning languages, and put a lot of them in Winter Town to deal with the current situation.
Several Azeroth diplomats accepted the books handed over by Laura, and then they realized that they really came to another world.
When they visited before, they didn’t feel like they had left Azeroth at all, as if they had arrived in a remote village.
At this time, looking at the textbook of Brunnian Common Language in their hands, the reactions of several people were different.
Jaina thought it was not a difficult task. For a mage, learning a new language was a simple matter;
Sylvanas and Liadrin also thought it was not a big deal, it just took some time.
Sally Whitemane was not worried either, only Raynor showed a “headache” expression.
“Before your cabins are built, you can live in the existing cabins first.” Laura could give up her cabin and go back to Crawford Manor to rest, or she could go to David’s place.
Peggy could also squeeze in with Sharon and give up a cabin; Mark could also contribute his cabin and go back to Mars Base to spend the night.
The delegation of Azeroth did not receive any special reception on the first day of arriving in Winter Town. Even dinner was solved in the cafeteria like everyone else in Winter Town.
Only when they first came here was they led by Baron David Glamorgan himself. After arriving in Winter Town, these people did not even see David again.
According to Laura, David is currently dealing with some things. After they have a night’s rest, he will probably be done tomorrow.
Several people expressed their understanding. Besides, they didn’t have anything important to ask David now. They preferred the current situation, where they could walk around freely.
However, Sylvanas and Liadrin did not walk around. Both of them noticed the few strange eyes in Winter Town.
“Are there no elves in this world?” Liadrin thought that the people in this world had never seen elves, so they looked at her with that kind of eyes.
But Sylvanas didn’t think so: “Some people’s eyes are full of vigilance and caution, and some even show hostility… Liadrin, don’t act alone recently.”
“Okay, sir.”
If possible, Sylvanas wanted to take advantage of the night to investigate the situation. It would be better if she could get some information.
But the abnormality of the arcane energy made her dare not act rashly. At least she had to figure out what was going on and ensure that her combat power was in normal condition before considering other things, right?
Now, she should just rest honestly!
The newcomers were very honest, but the old people in Winter Town were not so quiet.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
Edwin Van Cleef was reporting his observations to David.
“Only one person?”
When David brought Gareth Stanton and a group of people to Winter Town, he asked Van Cleef to follow and investigate. After the observation of this former Storm Kingdom MI7 intelligence officer, he had determined who was the spy sent to Winter Town by the Kingdom of Tiran.
“Yes, there is only one.” Edwin Van Cleef thought about it and said all his judgments: “And, if I am not wrong, this spy should be put in by Gareth Stanton on purpose.”
“You mean, is there something wrong with Gareth Stanton?”
“No, he has no problem.” Van Cleef could conclude this because Gareth Stanton was one of his key targets. Under his observation, the knight was absolutely loyal to David: “If there is a problem, then there should not be only one spy under his command.”
“Oh… I understand what you mean.”
These ten soldiers were all selected by Gareth Stanton himself, which means that this personal guard knight deliberately cleaned up the extra spy and left only one.
An eyeliner placed under the eyelid can be cleaned up at any time when necessary, and there is not much threat.
Not all of them were cleaned up, probably to complete the task of “His Majesty the King”.
In this way, Gareth Stanton really offered his loyalty to himself? Is he loyal enough to himself?
“It’s really a bit unexpected.” After thinking for a few seconds, David asked Van Cleef: “Do you have any suggestions?”
“Don’t worry about it.”
“Well, let’s do as you say!”
There is only one spy, who is only helping Abelson to observe Winter Town. There is no need to get rid of him.
It will make him look like he is going to do something bad, so just leave him there.
In addition, this spy may have an additional purpose – with the development of Winter Town, people will come to Winter Town sooner or later. The origins of those people are not so easy to investigate. This spy may be able to catch more fish.
As for Gareth Stanton, it seems that he can give him more trust?
There is no rush for this matter. As long as Gareth shows enough ability, David will not hesitate to reward him.
“By the way, the population of Winter Town has increased a lot now. I am worried that we can’t produce enough food relying only on the existing farmland.” He
mentioned to Van Cleef about assigning some people to reclaim farmland. According to the current regulations of Winter Town, the farmland reclaimed by these craftsmen will also belong to their personal names.
“Even if you don’t want to become a farmer, you can hire a contract farmer to cultivate your own land in the future.” David felt that if this matter was handled well, these craftsmen could be completely integrated into Winter Town and regard it as their real home: “With a little operation, each craftsman can get his own land.”
Van Cleef, who was originally very calm, was really moved this time. He didn’t expect David to give the craftsmen such a big benefit.
Although David told him that he would try his best to let the craftsmen live a stable life here, Van Cleef didn’t expect David to give such a big piece of cake.
If everyone can have a piece of farmland of their own, even if it is not big, it will have the most basic guarantee. When the infrastructure of Winter Town is built, everyone will build their own houses, plus the skills they have already mastered, then good days will really come.
“My lord… I think it would be better if you announced this matter to the craftsmen in person.”
Since David is willing to keep his promise, Van Cleef is naturally willing to provide all the help he can, such as helping David maintain his status as Baron Glamorgan and Lord of Winter Town.
“Well, let’s do it tomorrow morning before the work starts! I’ll go and announce this when the craftsmen gather at the construction site after breakfast.”
Van Cleef nodded to indicate that he understood and left. It was already dark at this time. David looked at Laura who came in and asked about the situation of the members of the Azeroth delegation.
“It’s already been arranged.” Laura stood in front of David with her hands on her waist and thought of a question: “Speaking of which, since we are establishing formal diplomatic relations, do we have to send someone to stay there permanently?”
“I’ll let Tirion take on the role.”
If those countries want to contact him for anything important, they can just go directly to Fording.
Even if he asked Mark, Sharon and others to stay in Azeroth, David would not be able to go directly to Azeroth after these people contacted him. In the final analysis, he still had to notify Fording, so going directly to Fording was the most efficient method.
“What? You want to represent Winter Town and stay in Azeroth?”
“That world seems to have many interesting places to explore.”
“…”
After two seconds of silence for the various tombs, ruins, dungeons and other places in Azeroth, David symbolically advised: “Azeroth is too dangerous. If you are not careful, the Zerg, Old Gods, Guardians and so on will be released. I think you should explore somewhere else!”
When he said this, David really thought of a suitable place: “I think Lyon is good. It’s not dangerous to kill zombies and parasites. It can relieve your emotions very well…”
“I want to find a place with historical traces, not to kill people to vent something.” Laura felt a little lacking in confidence as she spoke. She had explored ancient ruins several times and had been killing people randomly: “Ahem… In short, I have no interest in going to Lyon’s world to kill zombies or something.” “Oh!”
“
By the way.”
“What?”
“I didn’t have time to ask before, why did you suddenly become so powerful?” Laura had wanted to ask for a long time, and only got the chance at this time: “The huge holy light made me feel frightened.”
“It’s just a field bonus under special circumstances!” David waved his hand, indicating that he couldn’t release such a huge amount of holy light under normal conditions: “But, I got a lot of benefits from it.”
“What benefits?” Laura thought about it, and the benefits related to holy light seemed to be the so-called light casting? But David didn’t look like he was light cast: “Could it be that you turned into a holy light creature?” “
My physical fitness improved, the holy light in my body became more, and this…”
David explained while completing the transformation, allowing people to see his Cybertron body for the first time.
