[Chapter 182 The Woman from Sparta]
The coins used by the Kingdom of Tiran are nothing special. There are three types of coins: gold, silver, and copper. However, they are all mixed with special metals and made by alchemists using special spells. Of
course, David used to think that the setting of the three currencies of gold, silver, and copper was very common, a standard fantasy world setting, and he did not know the key factor of alchemy.
Later, when he found out, he did not care too much. After all, he had not considered making counterfeit coins.
First, it was not necessary. At that time, he was not in a hurry to buy anything with money;
second, it was much more convenient and reliable to directly exchange some strange things for coins than to make counterfeit coins, and there would be no future troubles.
As for now, Winter Town is the territory of the Kingdom of Tiran after all. It is natural to use the currency of the Kingdom of Tiran, and it can also be seamlessly integrated into the economic system of this world.
After discussing the most important development direction of Winter Town, David asked Weatherby Swan how he lived in Winter Town during this time?
“Very comfortable, the air here is much fresher than Port Royal, and the climate is also cool.” Compared with Port Royal in the Caribbean, the temperature in Winter Town is quite cool.
However, it is only in the spring, summer and autumn. Once winter comes… or to be more precise, in late autumn, the bone-chilling cold should make the former Governor of Royal Port have a new evaluation of this place.
After reminding Weatherby Swan to prepare himself, David told him that if he felt uncomfortable, he could find himself, Liadrin, or pharmacist Cordell, and it was best not to endure it.
David didn’t want anything to happen to the political officer he had just found.
Let Weatherby Swan go to work. Before all the finishing work is completed in the center of Winter Town, the current management of Winter Town will work in Castle Glamorgan.
Including Political Officer Weatherby Swan; Secretary Eva McKenna; Ceremonial Officer Elias Parker; and the one of the two guards who is responsible for protecting the lord.
Among them, Ceremonial Officer Elias Parker and the guards will live here directly at night.
As for Secretary Eva, it seems that Laura dragged Eva with her to go to her world to choose furniture for the day. It seems that she wants Eva to live on the second floor. But there was no follow-up, which made David a little confused.
After working for half a day, David went to the blacksmith shop to practice alchemy as usual.
Since he had a Cybertron body, David’s alchemy has improved rapidly. He no longer needs to go to the blacksmith shop every day to study, observe and practice. He has constructed basic alchemy runes and completed the introductory courses related to alchemy.
Now he often goes to the blacksmith shop, mainly to help Will practice alchemy.
The young blacksmith Will Turner has shown a good talent in alchemy, and learning alchemy will also help Will continue to contribute to Winter Town. David hopes that there will be more people in Winter Town who master alchemy. There
is nothing important, so I will give some pointers.
Moreover, giving pointers to Will is equivalent to giving pointers to Leonard and the others. After trying and finding that they could not get started in any of the mysterious professions, they collectively chose alchemy, which seemed to be the easiest profession for them to understand.
After all, those who study alchemy can obtain the energy to perform alchemy more directly through some alchemy props provided by Pierre Newton.
Compared with those energies that can only be felt, touched and mobilized by personal understanding, this entry method is already very simple.
As for the more difficult parts of alchemy: the composition and changes of various substances, they are common sense to them.
Those people have now opened the door to alchemy and are learning very quickly. It’s just that they are limited by their own qualities and can’t perform alchemy as freely as David.
If they want to continue to make progress, they must make their bodies stronger. In order to stimulate them to take the initiative to exercise, David reminded them: they have mysterious energy in their bodies, and they may get more benefits if they work hard, such as becoming taller and stronger, and some minor physical problems will disappear.
Others don’t know, Howard and Leonard acted very hard after hearing this…
And in Winter Town, another person who worked hard during this period was Gwen Stacy.
“The holiday is almost over?”
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, why does David feel that Gwen looks at him with a little dissatisfaction?
“The vacation is over.” Gwen looked at David. She thought she had been very proactive before, but David didn’t seem to be interested in her. Should she give up?
Moreover, as she stayed in Winter Town for a longer time, she already knew that David and the British woman Laura Croft were a couple, and he was also unclear with the woman named Eva McKenna.
Although David looked handsome and had a good personality, was a playboy worth her initiative?
She thought about this question more than once, and every time she saw David, she habitually ignored this question.
“Is it over? No wonder I haven’t seen you much recently.”
Hearing David notice that she rarely appeared recently, the question of playboys and whether it was worth it was completely kicked out of the galaxy. Gwen smiled and said it didn’t matter, anyway, there was another vacation.
Moreover, she witnessed the great changes in Winter Town almost throughout this vacation. She almost watched a very backward and primitive village gradually appear in the appearance of a modern town.
Just like the wide road under her feet, it was just a very primitive dirt road a few days ago.
Thinking of this, Gwen suddenly thought of a question: “Speaking of which, when Winter Town completes all the construction projects, the entire town will be much larger. What should we do when new people come in the future?”
“This…”
Gwen’s question is actually what David has been thinking about recently, but before Winter Town completes all the construction work, he can’t know the correct answer.
“There should be some changes, right?”
Otherwise, when Winter Town develops into Winter City, the area is even larger, and new people appear from the edge of the city, David, who is in Castle Glamorgan, will not be able to notice it at all. Do we
have to send special people to watch at the edge of the city?
That’s too outrageous. David thinks that his gold finger should be optimized.
Just like now, Winter Town is constantly building and the actual area occupied is getting larger and larger, but these people from other worlds in Winter Town are not affected by the changes in the actual occupied area.
Just like Gwen, every time she leaves here, she only needs to walk in the direction of ‘outside Winter Town’, and she doesn’t need to completely leave the Winter Town area. When she comes back, she is basically in the position where she left last time.
Chatting with Gwen and strolling along the wide road, we soon arrived outside the south gate of Winter Fortress.
Just when David wanted to ask Gwen if she wanted to choose a place to build a house of her own, David and Gwen saw a shadow appear in front of them at the same time. The shadow was
located not far from the south gate of Glamorgan Castle, or Winter Fortress. Seeing that the edge of the town had become much farther away with the construction of the high wall, the shadow that appeared in front of the gate of Winter Fortress seemed to have answered his previous doubts.
“Could it be that newcomers will appear directly around Glamorgan Castle in the future? Because this is the core of Winter Town?”
Thinking of this, David and Gwen walked forward a few steps and finally stopped in front of the shadow.
David was looking forward to and curious about who came this time? Of course, he did not rule out that there were companions in the town who happened to return to their own world in front of Glamorgan Castle and were just bumped into by David this time.
In this case, David could only question his previous speculation. He still didn’t know what would happen when newcomers came in the future.
Gwen also had a curious expression. She had been in Winter Town for quite a while, and she hadn’t seen anyone who came later than her.
This record seemed to end today?
Just as the two were looking at the phantom with expectation, an ambulance just passed by and stopped beside David: “Is there a new person coming?”
“I don’t know, maybe!”
David hadn’t finished speaking when the phantom in front of him gradually solidified. Then a beautiful woman in a simple white dress, with brilliant blonde hair and a golden leaf-shaped ornament on her head, appeared in front of David, Gwen and the ambulance. The
blonde woman looked around in surprise, then looked at the two strangers in front of her, and finally stared at David for a long time before asking: “Where is this?”
“This is Winter Town!” David introduced himself as usual. He noticed that the woman in front of him did not show any panic, but was full of curiosity, and did not express disbelief. But her eyes always stayed on him, which made him feel strange.
“So, you are the king here?”
“I am David, the lord of Winter Town, not the king.”
“Oh!” The blonde woman didn’t seem to care. She just repeated David’s name in a low voice, and then she introduced herself as if she remembered something: “My name is Helen, the daughter of King Tyndareus of Sparta.”
Hearing the other party’s name, David suddenly realized who she was.
Gwen Stacy next to him also thought of her identity and looked at the beautiful woman named Helen in front of her in surprise. She didn’t expect that one day she would be able to meet the legendary figure.
Just as David and Gwen were looking at Helen in front of them, the ambulance next to them suddenly said: “David, this woman’s pheromone index is rising, she…”
David realized what the ambulance was going to say and quickly interrupted it. As a result, Helen on the opposite side said something that surprised him.
“David, are you willing to let me be your wife?”
“Ah?”
