Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 246



[Chapter 246: The Diplomatic Mission from the Capital]

Addis did not want to be an educational officer, but he also saw that David did not have anyone suitable to use, so he had to take over this position.

After the meeting, when everyone dispersed, Addis stayed alone and went to the lounge with David.

Although they were talking about business, David did not go to the office to chat with Addis, but sat in the lounge and asked Helen to pour a cup of hot tea for him and Addis.

“Slurp~”

After taking a sip of hot tea, the fragrant and bitter taste filled his nose and mouth. Influenced by David in the past two years, Addis also began to like this kind of tea without any additions.

“It’s really unpredictable!”

Looking back on the past, Addis just wanted to adopt a child. This child didn’t need to have any great prospects. As long as he could learn how to be a qualified hunter under his own upbringing and teaching, and had a little gratitude and help him take care of him in his old age, he would be very satisfied. He

never expected that it would become what it is now.

“Earl…”

When he heard that David had become the village chief, he was already very unbelievable.

Later, David became a baron and became a real noble. Addis even doubted whether he had died long ago. Everything he was experiencing was just a dream bubble that could disappear completely at any time.

Unexpectedly, how long has he been a baron? He will soon become an earl!

In addition, he lived in Winter Town and watched closely how Winter Village became Winter Town and was about to become Winter City. All kinds of magical changes and various magical things happening in this city made him feel unreal. However

, after getting used to it slowly, Addis also hoped that David would get better and better in the future and make the city more prosperous, because he had fallen in love with it and didn’t want everything here to disappear. Therefore

, he had a lot of pressure to accept David’s appointment.

“I can only help you for a while. You’d better find a professional official as soon as possible.” Addis didn’t want to affect the development of David’s territory because of his lack of ability: “Whether it’s from the capital or some strange place.”

“It’s not so easy to find such talents, and they may not be suitable for Winter Town even if they are found. They don’t know as much about this place as you do.”

Addis has lived here since the Winter Village period, and he has seen all the changes here.

“Besides, being an education officer is not that difficult. As long as you follow the plan step by step, there will be no problems.” David told Adis what must be completed in the plan, and that he could use some intimidation and violence to complete it, so that the old hunter could do it with confidence.

“Even if you say so, I’m afraid my old arms and legs won’t last for a few years.”

“Haven’t you eaten the golden apple? What’s more, there is the Holy Light… Your health won’t deteriorate without a few decades.” With the protection of extraordinary power, or the power of Holy Light, as long as you don’t die in battle, you don’t have to worry about your health.

Moreover, in a few decades, David doesn’t know how far his territory will develop? What strange abilities will he have.

Maybe by that time, in addition to various mysterious powers, he will also master various scientific strengthening technologies. By then, everyone in the territory will be strengthened, and everyone’s life level will be raised by one or even several levels. That is not impossible.

By then, hundreds of years old children may no longer be a joke!

This is not a very ambitious goal. In fact, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has related technologies. Advanced civilizations in the universe, including the Kree Empire, have similar technologies. The Kree Empire is not easy to deal with, so they can also go to Xandar or other planets to find similar technologies.

“…” Addis was silent. He knew that his body was getting better and better, and he also knew that as his strength improved, his life span would also increase.

But he always felt that he was not young when he learned these things, and even if he increased his life span, he would only live ten or eight years longer. He never thought that he would live dozens or hundreds of years longer.

Looking at David, this kid should not be joking with him, and he sighed again.

When you get older, you like to sigh, and at the same time, you like to worry about some trivial matters of your juniors, such as: “How are you going to arrange for Princess Sofia?”

“Let it go.” Seeing that Addis had a bit of worry on his face, David deliberately explained a few more words to let him not worry.

Judging from the current situation, even if he clearly rejected this marriage, His Majesty the King would not blame him. Not to mention a direct falling out. Even if they did, Winter Town had enough strength to deal with the wrath of the Kingdom of Tiran. At most, the subsequent development plan would have to be re-formulated.

“Just be aware of this.”

“Don’t worry.”

Addis drank the last sip of tea, left Glamorgan Castle and began to work on the winter education. David continued to do his own thing:

pay attention to the changes in the territory every day; the progress of various tasks; whether a certain plan encountered any problems? Bring a few women to play dungeons together.

It was not until half a month later that David came to Snowfield Castle with Jack Krauser and several winter knights as guards to welcome the arrival of the Royal Capital Mission.

Under normal circumstances, David, as the Lord of Winter, did not need to go to Snowfield Castle to welcome the delegation, even if Snowfield Castle had been officially assigned to David.

But this time the Royal Capital Mission also shouldered the responsibility of investigating the threat of orcs, and Princess Sophia was in the mission. Out of respect for the mission and the royal family of Tilan, David brought people to Snowfield Castle, a border city currently under the rule of the Lord of Glamorgan, to specifically welcome the Kingdom Mission led by Earl Sutton-Stewart.

“Congratulations!”

After going through some fixed procedures, Earl Sutton-Stewart handed the appointment letter in his hand to David. After completing the relatively simple promotion ceremony on behalf of the king, Sutton returned to his “unserious” appearance.

“Although I know you will never stop at the position of baron, I didn’t expect that you can be promoted to earl so soon… At this rate, it won’t be long before I have to take the initiative to greet you.”

With Earl Sutton-Stewart’s title and special status, if you want him to take the initiative to meet and greet you, you must be at least a powerful duke.

“This kind of thing…”

David made an expression that you are exaggerating, but Sutton-Stewart could feel the confidence from David’s expression and tone: It is obvious that David himself believes that sooner or later there will be such a day.

Sutton, who was just joking and complimenting, didn’t know how to respond after noticing this. He was stunned for two seconds before he remembered the business: “This is Princess Sophia…”

“It’s nice to meet you, Princess.”

“I’m also glad to see you again, Earl of Glamorgan… Still on the northern plains.” Princess Sophia’s appearance was a little more mature than when I met her last year. Her chubby face was still covered with a bright smile, and she was still full of childish innocence: “And it’s winter, it doesn’t feel that cold!” David

smiled and said nothing. He would not say to the princess, “If you have the ability, take off the necklace around your neck and see if you are cold?” He and the princess were not familiar with each other to that extent. Earl Sutton-Stewart

would not let David and Princess Sophia stand at the gate of the Snowfield Castle, blowing in the cold wind like a knife to cultivate their relationship.

It was not that he took care of the guards following behind him, but that such behavior was not good-looking and damaged the dignity of the royal family.

“Before we chat, maybe we can ask Lord Glamorgan to take us on a tour of the fortress.”

“Of course!”

The team turned and headed inside the Snowfield Castle. Only then did Lord Sutton-Stewart have time to look around and at the heavy-armored knights who came with David. The

Winter Knights in Blizzard Power Armor looked tall, mighty, and oppressive. From the moment they appeared, the guards from the capital kept looking at them.

When these people turned around and walked, the heavy footsteps made everyone’s heart jump.

From the sound, they could tell that the armor was very heavy, and these knights could move freely in such heavy armor, either because they were incredibly strong, or because the armor itself was enchanted.

Either way, it meant that Winter Town… Oh, it would be officially renamed Winter City in the future, which meant that the knights of Winter City had good combat power.

Originally, these guards didn’t take the possibility of encountering orcs in the northern plains too seriously.

Because the guards who accompanied the delegation to the northern plains and were responsible for protecting Earl Sutton-Stewart and Princess Sophia were all from the elite Tiran Knights and the Guards Knights of the Kingdom.

They felt that the aliens who could be defeated by the soldiers of the remote lord of the countryside in Winter City were not an enemy worth worrying about.

In addition, there were members of the Guards Knights who had been to Winter Town, that is, the knights who escorted David back.

From the description of this knight, everyone knew how remote and backward Winter City was. As a result, those orcs couldn’t even beat the soldiers of such a place, so how could they be taken seriously by these elites of the kingdom?

Until this moment, after seeing the real Winter Knights, they doubted their judgment, and wondered why there was such a powerful knight group in Winter City?

As everyone moved forward, the members of the delegation also saw more and more magical things.

The Snow Plain Castle, which looked very ordinary from the outside, actually had so many amazing things inside .

Just this flat, spacious and clean road, and the beautiful but very clear buildings around, made them doubt that they really came to the remote northern plains? Instead of a prosperous southern trading town?

Also, are those tall metal giants waving? How can these puppets be so flexible?
