[Chapter 216 The Power of Water]
Eva finally gained the recognition of the Holy Light. During dinner, Laura, Helen, and Gwen congratulated her with mixed emotions.
Laura, who had already mastered the Holy Light, congratulated Eva sincerely.
Helen’s congratulations were mixed with obvious envy. She also hoped to obtain this magical power, as if it could allow her to break away from the level of ordinary people and become a “god”-like existence.
More importantly, if she could not become a being beyond mortals, the dream of becoming the mistress of Winter Town might only be a dream, almost impossible to achieve – just think about it and you will know that David, as a god, cannot marry a mortal as his wife. It is not just a matter of
matching. The important thing is that the life span of mortals is very short, which is a problem that cannot be ignored.
Gwen’s idea is relatively simple. She only has a headache that she has spent too little time in Winter Town, giving too many people the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
As for the Holy Light, she feels that she has found the trick, and maybe she will be able to master the Holy Light in a short time.
Everyone was talking about various topics while eating dinner, but today’s dinner was mainly focused on various things that happened today.
“What a colorful day!”
Things have been happening since the morning. First, the arrival of the dark elf brother and sister, then the official establishment of the Winter Town Navy, and the commissioning of the first battleship in Winter Town. Among them, the dark elf brother and sister brought the most information.
“Cecil and Enid, the brother and sister, are going to take a short break in Winter Town, replenish water and food, and continue to sail north along the Winter River to the peak in the north.”
Laura told David all the questions she asked, and did not avoid the other women.
The people present can all be considered David’s own people.
In Laura’s view, Helen is another “investor” who is ready to bet heavily on David after herself, and such a beautiful woman with good looks and figure, who took the initiative to take a large dowry, has been delivered to her mouth, and it is only a matter of time before she is eaten by David.
“Does that mountain have a name in the records of the dark elves?”
“That peak is called the Pillar of the World by the dark elves.”
“This name is very vivid!”
From this name, it can be seen that this mountain has a good status in the eyes of the dark elves.
“I plan to go to the Pillar of the World with Cecil and others to have a look.” As an archaeologist, when encountering such things, Laura’s addiction comes back.
In recent times, Laura has not carried out any major archaeological adventures. At most, she has looked for the northern giant wolf in the winter forest a few times.
In addition, she is learning various knowledge, practicing various skills, and going back to check on the situation of the Crawford Group from time to time.
The days are calm and stable, and it seems that the Laura Crawford who is full of vitality and loves adventure is no longer there.
Facts have proved that it is not that Laura has changed, but that there are too few suitable targets that can stimulate her desire for adventure. This time, the destination provided by the dark elf brother and sister is a target that can stimulate her passion for adventure.
In fact, even without this pair of brothers and sisters, Laura also plans to explore the peak in the north. Now it is just a matter of moving her original plan forward for a while.
“Winter is coming soon.” David reminded Laura: “It’s too dangerous to go north at this time, isn’t it?”
The dark elf siblings didn’t know the climate conditions here, and Laura couldn’t be unaware.
The winter climate in Winter Town is bad enough, and the World Pillar located further north will be even worse!
“With the technology Winter Town currently has, we don’t have to worry about this problem, right?”
“That’s true…”
Thinking of this, David felt that he should go with them. Who knows what huge secrets he can learn there?
As for whether leaving Winter Town will have a bad impact on the territory?
After thinking about it carefully, David felt that it would not.
He can keep in touch with Winter Town at any time through communication equipment; more importantly, with the arrival of winter, all activities on the northern plains will be restricted.
Whether it is the orcs or the humans in the Snow Castle, it is highly likely that they will not threaten Winter Town.
Even the two sides that have entered a state of confrontation and are ready to break out in a war at any time may temporarily cease fighting because of winter and wait for the arrival of spring to restart the war.
Even if the orcs really ignored the snow and cold weather and bypassed Snowfort to attack Winter Town; even if the people of Snowfort went crazy and attacked Winter Town.
With the current combat power of Winter Town, it can easily destroy the invading enemy.
In other words, whether David is in charge of Winter Town personally, the safety of Winter Town will not be threatened at all.
Weatherby Swann is in charge of government affairs, Gareth Stanton is in charge of military affairs, Floyd and James Norrington are in charge of training new recruits, and Eva is also responsible for connecting people everywhere and asking for help. He can go out and see what the so-called pillar of the world is hiding.
Laura certainly won’t object to telling her what she plans to do.
She has never gone out on an adventure with David, and she is looking forward to this trip.
Gwen was envious. She also wanted to go, but unfortunately she had to go back to school.
Helen knew that she would only be a burden if she went with them. She should just stay in Castle Glamorgan.
She began to think, should she learn some combat knowledge? At least she should have some ability to protect herself?
After dinner, Helen called Eva to ask who she should learn combat knowledge from.
David and Laura discussed what preparations needed to be made. Gwen listened quietly beside them. She didn’t want to do anything, so she just wanted to stay with David.
“Nothing special to prepare.” It was mainly various weapons and equipment and mountaineering and polar equipment. Apart from that, Laura couldn’t think of anything else that must be brought: “Food and clean water?”
Nowadays, important people in Winter Town have their own storage props, and they can bring more storage props when necessary.
Even if each storage prop can only hold one cubic meter of supplies, bringing four or five pieces is equivalent to carrying a small truck.
“That’s all.”
David thought about it and prepared to upgrade his storage items.
After years of unremitting training, his alchemy has made considerable progress. For example, the basic changes in the appearance of substances can be easily achieved. As
for the changes in the properties of objects, this requires a longer time to slowly grind, mainly because it requires contact with and understanding of various substances.
But for some things that he often contacts, he can already make preliminary transformations.
For example, the storage bracelet on his hand!
This thing was originally a mass-produced product made by Pierre Newton. Everyone received the same storage bracelet, which was not noticeable or cumbersome to wear on the hand.
Each bracelet is a cubic meter of space, but David has been “analyzing” this kind of material with spatial properties, and now he has some experience.
After taking out the things inside, David began to try to increase the internal space of the bracelet, and successfully increased the internal space to five cubic meters. Later
, he helped Laura upgrade her storage bracelet, also increasing the storage space to five cubic meters, so that the two of them would not need to carry several pieces of storage equipment.
Gwen did not ask David to help upgrade her storage bracelet. She did not need it for the time being. One cubic meter was enough for her for the time being.
While David was condensing the alchemy array with his hands to upgrade the storage bracelet, Gwen and Laura were picking up the pile of things David had taken out.
David usually carried guns, bullets, war hammers, and spears. When
seeing the spear, Laura remembered the trident she had brought back for David: “Where did you get the trident of the Sea King…”
As soon as she turned her head, she saw the mannequin in David’s bedroom that was used to “display” the Lightbringer suit, with the odd-shaped trident in his hand.
After taking the trident, Laura looked at the trident and the spear placed side by side, and realized that the odd-shaped trident was indeed too ugly. It was because of the things she brought back that David was willing to put in the bedroom.
After looking at it for a few times, an idea suddenly popped up: “Can you use alchemy to fuse these two weapons?”
“You can try.”
Alchemy can indeed do this kind of thing, but David is not sure if he can do it? Especially after he analyzed the trident and realized that there was a mysterious power on it.
When Laura mentioned it, David wanted to give it a try: after all, it was a magical artifact with mysterious power. It would be a pity if it was too ugly and could not be used.
If it could be integrated with his spear, making the shape of the trident more handsome, wouldn’t it be possible to carry it out and stab people? Even if it is not used to stab people, it is also good to pose and show off!
Looking at the spear mixed with light cast iron and various alloys, and the trident mixed with unknown materials and with mysterious power.
David stretched out his hand and released the alchemy array to wrap the two weapons in it.
In order to be able to wrap the two long weapons in it, the alchemy array became very huge. David had to stand up and spread his arms to use alchemy, just like holding a huge ball – his alchemy attainments were not deep enough. If it was Pierre, the moment the alchemy array was used to hold the object, the “size” of the object would be “compressed”, making it easier for Pierre to perform alchemy.
The two long weapons in the polygonal alchemy array gradually turned into two long strips of objects emitting dazzling light, and slowly merged together.
With David’s “operation”, the long strips of light that merged together gradually “revealed” their true appearance.
The two long weapons finally merged into a golden spear.
The alchemy array has dissipated, and David is looking at the spear in his hand.
After his own “re-refining”, David was surprised to find that this spear not only perfectly retained the holy light attributes given by the light cast iron, but also the mysterious power from the Trident of Poseidon, which also unveiled its mystery to him.
David, who holds this spear, can obtain the power of water
“The power of water?”
