[Chapter 175: Castle Glamorgan on the Northern Plains]

“Castle Glamorgan? Winter Palace? Winter Castle?”

David said a few names, but got no response. Everyone’s expressions were similar, as if they thought these names were rather ordinary.

“Let’s paint the whole building white…” Howard’s joking suggestion also received some responses. Some people thought that since they had already copied the appearance, it would be a good choice to keep the name.

But David still felt that this name was not good, and he always felt that it would attract the Cancer administrator sent by the Space-Time Administration.

“How about calling it Wolf Castle?” Laura thought for a while and made her own suggestion: “Didn’t you choose the giant wolf as the main element of the family emblem?”

“It seems okay…” David felt that the name Wolf Castle was okay, but he felt that he had heard it somewhere: “But this name is so familiar.”

“There is a football club with this name.” Laura thought about it carefully and thought that this might be the reason why David felt familiar?

But David thought about it and felt that it should not be the reason. It was not until he turned his head and looked at the vast green grassland around him that he had a little understanding.

“…” He suspected that if he named his residence Wolf Castle, he would never be able to eat mutton in his life: “Let’s call it Glamorgan Castle…”

Naming the area and residence according to the lord’s surname is not a strange thing, and it will not cause any controversy or complaints.

But what David did not expect was that everyone still thought that the nickname Wolf Castle was easier to remember, and preferred to call the new building by this name:

Glamorgan Castle, known as Wolf Castle, is a large house that looks three-story on the surface, but actually has six floors (including underground) inside.

Although the design refers to that famous building, the internal structure is not completely copied, and the specific layout is still different. The above-

ground floors are the main activity areas:

the first floor is mainly the reception hall, banquet hall, ballroom, and some of the staff and servants’ offices, lounges, kitchens, small libraries, map rooms, etc. in Glamorgan Castle.

The second floor is the bedroom and office of the Lord David, a small reception and reception room, study, etc. The office rooms are all located on the south side of the building, and the rooms for private life are located on the north side.

The third floor is a gym, a game room and other spaces for the lord to entertain and relax. There are also many empty rooms that have not been assigned specific functions. David can decide the functions of these rooms according to his own preferences and needs.

The underground first floor is currently mainly a warehouse, where food and some weapons and equipment will be stored;

the underground second floor is not large, and is mainly used for separate water supply, power supply and other equipment. In fact, there is a secret passage leading to the outside, which leads directly to some special compartments on each floor through a dedicated passage, so that the lord can evacuate when necessary.

The fourth floor on the ground is not a complete floor, but a semi-open structure. David can walk from the fourth floor to the rooftop, where he can enjoy the breeze, see the scenery, or hold some outdoor activities.

In theory, there are rooms for guards and servants on each floor, but David thinks he should not need to arrange so many guards.

In addition, after the construction of Glamorgan Castle, a circle of high walls will be built around it. In addition to enclosing Glamorgan Castle, the Winter Town Municipal Building and a military camp will be built in the southwest and east of Glamorgan Castle respectively.

On the north side of Castle Glamorgan, a large open space will be left as Lord Glamorgan’s private garden, with various facilities including fountains, gardens, lawns, etc.

In addition, trees tall enough will be planted on the inside of the wall to cover the wall, so that when you look around in the garden, you will feel that you are surrounded by green trees instead of high walls.

When all the buildings are completed, Castle Glamorgan, the municipal building, the barracks, and the high walls will constitute the actual Winter Fortress, and the outer wall of the Winter Fortress will have a total of four gates. The East

Gate is the daily exit of the barracks, which is convenient for the soldiers and officers responsible for the stationing to go in and out and change shifts.

The North Gate and the West Gate belong to the lord’s “private house gate”. Friends or the lord himself can go in and out from these two gates. Sentry posts will be built at these two gates and some soldiers will be stationed.

The south gate is the ‘main gate’ of the Winter Fortress. Entering from here is equivalent to entering the heart of Winter Town. If someone comes in from the south gate, then the left side of this person is the municipal center of Winter Town, and the managers of Winter Town will work here in the future.

In front is the Lord’s Glamorgan Castle, and on the right is the military camp responsible for guarding the entire fortress.

After taking a general look at the situation, David decided to build another building in the northwest of Glamorgan Castle as a garage and his own private training venue.

Whether it is shooting, fighting, cold weapons or alchemy, he needs a place to practice. At the same time, the design next to Glamorgan Castle is also convenient for directly building a corridor to connect the two buildings.

“These things are easy to do.”

After recording David’s requirements in the notebook, Van Cleef is ready to come up with a complete design plan when he returns. When David thinks there is no problem, he will hand it over to the bulldozer. The diggers will definitely complete the construction of several buildings around Glamorgan Castle as quickly as possible.

In the future, the entire Winter Town, or Winter City, will be built with Winter Fortress as the core and expand to the surrounding areas.

According to the current plan, a circle of wide roads will be paved around the Winter Fortress. With the Winter Fortress as the center, four main roads will extend in four directions, becoming the main roads that determine the transportation network of Winter City.

According to David’s idea, these main roads will extend all the way to the bank of the Winter River in the west to prepare for the construction of the Winter Wharf in the future.

The north will go deep into the Winter Forest for a short distance, connecting factories such as power plants and water plants.

The east and south will be built all the way to the location of the sentry post and the signboard, and even an additional road will be built to the outside of Frost Town in the northeast.

This is not to show how strong the infrastructure power of Winter Town is now, but simply to facilitate soldiers to patrol far away.

With the increase of various modern vehicles, the soldiers of Winter Town have initially mastered the driving of modern vehicles. It has become normal for soldiers to patrol the border on motorcycles or even Hummers.

Only fighter driving requires a high level of cultural knowledge for soldiers, and no one has fully learned it yet.

Building a good enough road can also facilitate soldiers to travel back and forth faster.

After explaining the next construction plan to Van Cleef and the diggers, David and some of his companions walked around nearby.

Finally, he looked at the wooden houses not far away. Everyone knew that these wooden houses would not last long. When Winter Fortress was completely completed, these wooden houses would be demolished.

“Why not keep them?”

“Because these wooden houses are located in the center of Winter Town… Such an important place must have many better and more important buildings.” Laura reached out and gently stroked the outer wall of her wooden house, answering Sylvanas’ question: “If according to David’s plan, this should be the South Gate Square of Winter Fortress.”

Although these wooden houses are not very comfortable, the space is very small, and the overall structure is very rough, she feels that she will often think of this wooden house in the future.

In comparison, David’s idea is much simpler. Although he is full of memories for this wooden house, he will not be too nostalgic. Instead, he will be happy that he can “go one step further.”

However, he knew that his ideas could not represent everyone, so he mentioned to Laura: “If you want, I can let Digger move the wooden house to the back garden of the new home.”

The back garden of Fort Glamorgan has a large enough space, and putting a wooden house is nothing.

But Laura shook her head and refused. She would miss and recall, but she would not force everything to stay with her: “Let them complete their mission, that’s a good ending.”

“Forget it… Where do you think Jonah’s restaurant should be built?” The partners in Winter Town will have their own houses in the future. In fact, these people have more or less chosen the location of their new homes.

Basically, they choose around Winter Fortress, but the directions are different, and there are all kinds of locations.

For example, Will Turner, in addition to being a blacksmith, he is now a large landowner. In addition, he used to live in Royal Port, so he hopes that his new home will be closer to the farmland area and Winter River.

Leonard and his friends want a relatively quiet place to build a residence with a laboratory, so they want to build their new home in the north or northwest.

Liadrin wanted to build a Holy Light Church. She had her eyes on the area east of Winter Town, not far from the Winter Forest, and facing the entire northern plains. If someone entered Winter Town, it would be easy for them to notice her church.

Everyone has different ideas and needs, and Laura could help with Jonah’s matter.

“How about building a Winter Hotel next to Winter Fortress?”

Provide food and accommodation, and even serve as a designated residence for Winter Town to receive foreign guests. As long as Winter Town does not fall, Jonah will not have to worry about his store having no business.

“That’s a good idea.”

Build the hotel to the east of Winter Fortress. Anyone who comes to Winter Town can see this hotel, and it is next to the military camp guarding Winter Fortress, so it is safe enough.

Even these soldiers and people working in Winter Fortress will become a stable source of customers.

“But in this case, I will have to hire a new chef for my Castle of Glamorgan.”

“You may need to hire not only a chef, but also a housekeeper.” Laura is very knowledgeable in this area: “How about letting Eva help you with these daily chores?”
