[Chapter 184 Golden Apple]
Spider-Man’s strong willpower is recognized by countless people.
After all, not just anyone can persist in being a superhero after encountering various blows, disasters, misunderstandings from relatives, and various difficulties in life.
Moreover, Spider-Man’s quality of doing his best to help his neighbors and being willing to help no matter how small the trouble is perfectly matches the code of conduct of the priests in the Holy Light Church.
This also means that the spiritual reward obtained from Peter Parker is incomparably in line with the Holy Light, and the increase in the Holy Light is even stronger.
So when the reward was received, David noticed the change in the Holy Light in his body: not only the quantity increased, but also the quality seemed to have improved.
“Good guy, full of benefits!”
He patted Peter’s back hard and smiled, saying that he just helped a little and didn’t need to care too much.
“No, no, this is a very important thing, I will always remember it in my heart.” Although Peter didn’t say that he would definitely repay, his expression perfectly expressed this meaning.
“Now is not the time to talk about these things. Maybe you should take a shower and change your clothes.”
“You’re right.”
Peter looked at himself. He looked really embarrassed now, but he couldn’t go back to his own world for the time being. He might run into investigators, so he could only deal with it here.
Fortunately, he had been in Winter Town for such a long time, and he didn’t really do nothing here. Peter had a temporary “base” in Winter Town, where he stored some of his personal belongings, so that he could come here to “change clothes” and replenish “equipment” when necessary.
Moreover, with the rapid development of Winter Town, he also chose a location as his new home and base.
There were not only his own belongings and equipment, but also a small laboratory, which was convenient for him to make commonly used tools, mainly spider silk that needed to be replenished constantly.
“I’ll go change my clothes first.” Peter shook hands with David, and then said hello to Gwen and the ambulance not far away. As for the last one…
“My name is Helen.”
“Hello, my name is Peter Parker. I’m sorry I look a little embarrassed now. I need to leave first.”
Helen smiled and nodded. She only looked at this handsome Peter for a few seconds and then retracted her gaze. Then she continued to stare at David: David is better.
Following David to walk around Winter Town, Helen also had a general impression of this place: there are hundreds of hardworking and strong civilians; there are several magical metal giants; there are also some beings from the so-called “various worlds”, including the girl named Gwen Stacy who has been following him.
David is the ruler here, and this city called Winter Town belongs to a huge country called the Kingdom of Tiran.
In addition, in addition to humans, there is also a race called elves in this city.
Helen was dazzled by the many magical things. When she learned that many buildings in Winter Town were built in the past six months, Helen wanted to become the queen here more and more. She didn’t care much about Winter Town or Baron Glamorgan. In her opinion, David was the actual King of Winter.
After David finished introducing the general situation of Winter Town, Helen made it clear that she wanted to settle in Winter Town, but she had to go back first to say hello to her parents. If possible, she was going to bring her parents to visit this magical country. After
telling Helen how to bring people here, David watched the famous Greek beauty leave, and Gwen was the only one left beside him. He
looked up at the sky and it was completely dark. Usually, Gwen would say goodbye and go home at this time, but at this time, she had no intention of leaving.
“Aren’t you in a hurry to go back today?”
“I don’t have anything to do tomorrow, so I plan to walk around more… Speaking of which, Winter Town looks different every day, and I feel unfamiliar with many places.”
“Yes, the work efficiency of the diggers is amazing.”
The high walls of Winter Fortress have been repaired, and this was built while building residential houses. If the diggers focus on building a building, then a large building can be completed in a few days.
Even a power plant took them less than ten days, and this is because many of the equipment had to be built from scratch.
If all kinds of equipment are prepared and just a framework is built, the diggers can get it done in one day.
Since the digger team was formed, David has the feeling of playing a construction game: just click, if you want to build something, the diggers will build it for you immediately.
At present, Winter Fortress has been fully built, and the craftsmen are doing the interior decoration.
The town center building has not been officially opened yet, not because the decoration has not been completed, but because it is not currently used.
The current ruling class of Winter Town, including David, is only a handful of people. With the gradual establishment and recruitment of various departments, the building will be truly put into use.
Now everyone is working in Castle Glamorgan.
The barracks have been officially opened, and all 30 soldiers have entered the Winter Fortress Barracks.
According to the original plan, the Winter Fortress Barracks is only a garrison barracks, and a larger barracks with more complete functions will be built in other locations in the future.
The daily training of the main military forces of Winter Town, as well as the training of reserve forces, will be carried out in that more complete military base.
“The new military base may be built in the northeast.”
While introducing the Winter Camp not far away to Gwen, he walked into the already lit Glamorgan Castle, then walked through the hall on the first floor and walked out of the gate on the other side.
“Why not build it in the southeast direction?” Gwen asked casually while looking at the vast garden in front of her, but from her expression, it can be seen that she didn’t care about the answer to the question, and she was more attracted to the back garden in front of her: “I feel that it can better take into account the enemies in all directions if it is placed there.”
“The new military base is mainly for training new soldiers, and defense against foreign enemies depends on military facilities such as sentries or fortresses…” Speaking of this, David thought of the city wall that he had rejected before: “It seems that this city wall still needs to be built.”
Even if the city wall is not built, fortresses and sentries must be built, otherwise the soldiers defending the border will have to sleep in the wild every day?
Even if the city expands there, the soldiers stationed on the border will also need a place to rest and store various equipment.
“I only think about the wall and ignore these.”
But it doesn’t matter. I didn’t want to build a city wall before because I thought it was a waste of time and materials; now with the digging tiger, building a city wall is no longer a troublesome thing.
After walking a few steps forward, he stepped onto the wide driveway of the back garden.
For easy access, there is a stone pavement that allows two cars to pass side by side, and there is plenty of space around the entire back garden. The garage is on David’s left.
In addition to this wide road, there are no more “decorations” in the back garden. Only trees are planted on the inside of the high wall. The entire back garden is now a large lawn.
“Why is there a single fruit tree planted here?”
“What fruit tree?”
Looking in the direction Gwen pointed, David found that there was a fruit tree standing alone by the wall of Glamorgan Castle, just below his bedroom.
“…”
No need to ask, this thing must have appeared because of Helen’s arrival; judging from the situation, Helen’s favorability towards him is very high, so she directly offered the reward.
“What a magical sight.” Although Gwen had seen crystal ore, he had never seen the strange sight of crystal ore growing rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye when it was first born.
This time, the regret was made up. The growth rate of the fruit tree in front of him was amazing. It looked like a small tree just now, but in the time it took to say two words, it had become a mature tree and began to bear fruit.
“Is that… a golden apple?”
Gwen looked at David in surprise. She wondered if she had guessed wrong? But no matter how she looked at it, it was a golden apple!
“It should be!”
“What is the use of this golden apple?”
“I don’t know.” There
are many things that can be connected through Helen, but many things don’t seem to be suitable as rewards. The golden apple should be the most suitable one among them.
But David has never seen the function of the golden apple in any information. Now he is also very curious and wants to know what the golden fruit is used for?
Just as the two watched the fruit gradually mature and finally emitted a faint golden light, Gwen reached out and “picked” the apple off.
To be precise, she just touched it and the golden apple fell from the tree. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and grabbed it directly, so that the golden apple did not fall to the ground.
After sniffing it gently, Gwen smiled and handed the golden apple to David: “It smells good!”
“Hmm.” David smelled it and found it had a nice fragrance that stimulated his saliva to keep secreting, making him want to take a big bite: “It should be delicious.”
Glancing at Gwen, the girl also looked at the golden apple handed to her and swallowed her saliva. It can be seen that she also wanted to try it.
“I’ll try it first to see if there are any strange effects.” With the Holy Light as a backing, David felt that he didn’t have to worry about being poisoned, not to mention that he hadn’t seen any rewards with “side effects” for so long.
“Hmm.”
Looking at Gwen nodding with anticipation, David was a little confused. Did she want to know the effect of this golden apple? Or did she want to know the taste? After
taking a bite, the crisp and sweet flesh was softened in a few bites, and then flowed into his stomach like juice. After
carefully feeling it for a moment, he even mobilized the Holy Light that had just become stronger, but nothing happened.
“Do you want to eat the whole thing?”
Crack!
After eating the golden apple without a core and full of flesh, David still didn’t feel anything special.
“This… can’t it be just a delicious apple?”
Just when David suspected that it was just an ordinary apple with a special look, a mysterious warm current spread from his stomach to his whole body, and then… nothing happened.
“…”
