Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 249



[Chapter 249 New Functions of Gold Finger]

The Jaina Proudmoore in front of them was not a “new” Jaina. She was the Jaina they knew, who was currently serving as a diplomat in Winter City from Dalaran.

Diplomats like Jaina and Sylvanas would return to their own worlds from time to time to report on the situation here.

Winter Town was upgraded to Winter City, Baron Glamorgan had been promoted to Earl Glamorgan, and the territory under his name had expanded countless times. All these things had to be reported.

However, Sylvanas would go directly back to Winter City after reporting the situation. She had figured it out, and she didn’t want to be the queen of the High Elf Kingdom, so there was no need to get involved in those things. She would hide in Winter City and be a diplomat honestly. When Kael’thas became king and her status and reputation were stable, she could continue to be her Ranger General.

Anyway, the life span of the High Elves was very long, so she didn’t have to worry about the short time of more than ten years.

Jaina’s situation is different. She is the disciple of Archmage Antonidas. Due to various changes, Dalaran has not been invaded by the Scourge, and the entire city still exists intact in its original location.

Many mages in Dalaran are also alive and well, and it is still a major force in the world of Azeroth.

Jaina herself is still the princess of Kul Tiras, so she has to go to many places every time she goes back. Even if she has a teleportation spell, she still has to spend a lot of time dealing with various things.

Occasionally, when she is free, she will also think about the differences between the two worlds and how to travel freely between the two worlds with her own abilities.

This time is the case. After dealing with various things, Jaina, who was about to go to Lordaeron to find Fording, was thinking about how to go to Winter City with her magic, when she suddenly came to Winter City.

“…”

After listening to Jaina’s description, David was very speechless.

Jaina said a lot, which was equivalent to not saying anything. She herself didn’t know how she did it, but from her description, it seemed that she had acquired abilities similar to those of Fording and others.

“Try a few more times to see if you can really go back and forth freely?”

“Yes!”

Jaina was also very concerned about this matter. Although she still couldn’t figure out the principle, as long as she had this ability, it would be much easier for her to study it.

Jaina tried it several times in front of David and proved that she could really go back and forth between the two worlds freely.

Seeing this situation, Tony also began to try, but as before, there was no way to return to his own world at will.

“What’s going on?”

Tony pondered quietly for a few seconds. After Jaina came back again, he asked her a few questions, such as whether there was any energy fluctuation when she completed the crossing? Or magic loss or something like that?

After getting a negative answer, Tony began to sort out the various information of the two people and find out the differences.

His brain turned quickly, and soon he thought of a key difference, and it was related to Winter City.

“Identity!”

Not only Tony thought of it, but David and Jaina also thought of it: Compared with Jaina, a diplomat stationed in Winter City, Tony did not have any “official identity” in Winter City.

In order to verify this guess, the three people immediately went to find Raynor, Sylvanas, Medivh and others to test.

This was soon confirmed.

Raynor, Sylvanas and other people with diplomatic status have gained the ability to freely travel between the two worlds; while Medivh, who is purely a guest, has no way to travel back and forth freely.

Then several people went to find Jack Krauser and Sheldon. Jack Krauser has the official status of a firearms instructor and a knight of the Winter Knights, and also gained the ability to travel back and forth freely. Howard and Sheldon

and others have official identities such as alchemists, engineers, and scientific consultants of the Winter Alchemy Workshop. Sheldon also joined the Winter household registration as soon as possible, and now also gained the ability to travel back and forth freely.

On the contrary, although Penny has an industry in Winter City, she does not have a Winter household registration and does not have any official position, so she still needs Leonard to take her back and forth.

“So I am just an illegal resident in Winter City?”

Penny didn’t care much about whether she had a Winter City household registration. After all, it seemed that it didn’t matter to her whether she had a household registration in this world.

Now it’s different. People with status and household registration have gained “superpowers”, which makes her seem like an outsider-from the perspective of household registration, she can only be regarded as an outsider now.

“I want to apply for naturalization!”

Penny said on the spot that she wanted to become a Winter person. In the future, she would be a real citizen of Winter City. She would die in Winter City, be buried in Winter City, and become a female ghost in Winter City! Naturalization

is not a big deal. David went directly to find Weatherby Swan, and applied for household registration for Penny on the spot and filed Penny’s personal information.

After doing these things, David asked Penny to test immediately to see if she had gained the ability to travel freely between the two worlds.

The result was a bit unexpected. After Penny obtained the Winter household registration, she still did not gain the ability to travel freely between the two worlds, which made Penny very depressed!

David did not think too long and immediately gave Penny the identity of a etiquette officer assistant. Penny immediately had the ability to travel between the two worlds.

“It seems that it’s not just the household registration in Winter City.”

Through a series of tests, he already knew that the official positions in Winter City could give these people from other planes the ability to travel between the two worlds.

Although there are still some restrictions, it will be more convenient for Winter City to communicate with many worlds;

through this change, David wondered if he could recruit more talents across planes if he issued visas or something like that? Would it also be more convenient and faster to recruit people?

With the issuance of visas or certificates of permission to enter Winter City, these people can come directly to Winter City, and the efficiency must be much higher than that of having to contact specific people to travel back and forth.

If this method works, maybe a facility similar to the entry and exit customs can be built to play the role of a cross-plane teleportation array?

David was ready to test everything, but when he turned his head, he saw Tony staring at him eagerly.

“What?”

“Ahem!” Tony cleared his throat: “What do you think of me being the chief scientific advisor of Winter City?”

“Sure!”

Tony originally didn’t want to have any title in Winter City. He felt that it would be freer this way, he could come and go as he pleased, and he wouldn’t be so closely tied to Winter City.

But in this situation, Tony felt that he couldn’t do without a title, and he even had to apply for naturalization to become a real resident of Winter City.

“Or, you can give me a title or something?”

“What? You want to swear allegiance to me?”

“…”

Tony was so upset when he heard this, so he decisively skipped the topic and only asked David for a chief scientific advisor and the household registration of Winter City.

Afterwards, David returned to his office and asked Eva to find the information and household registration of some important people in Winter City.

These materials are usually kept at hand for David to check at any time.

Almost as soon as David gave the order, Eva walked in with the documents.

Opening the document, the household registration information of Winter City was divided into several parts.

Among them, locals, non-locals, officials and civilians all have corresponding folders. People like Eva and Helen are in different categories from Tony and Sylvanas.

Put the files recording the information of Fording, Eva and others aside. These people have the ability to travel back and forth at will, and their household registration and positions will not give them additional bonuses.

David focuses on checking the information of people like Tony Stark who came to Winter City indirectly and are of great value to Winter City at this time.

Tony has officially become a citizen and will become the chief scientific advisor of Winter City;

in addition to Tony, Jack Krauser has long become a member of the Winter Knights and has sworn allegiance to David and become a knight.

Who else is there?

Sheldon and others have formal identities, and Sheldon has also obtained a formal household registration. In fact, the household registration forms currently used in Winter City are all blueprints made by Sheldon.

In addition to these people, it seems that the ability to travel back and forth freely is not very important for the rest?

“By the way! I almost forgot Optimus Prime.”

David is going to find a time to ask Optimus Prime what position he is going to take? As for Megatron, he will become the commander of the Cybertron Legion.

“By the way, what has Optimus Prime been busy with recently?” Although they had taken Optimus Prime back to Winter City from Snowforest, the situation at that time was not suitable for the two to chat. If they wanted to inquire about Optimus Prime’s recent situation, they had to ask Eva.

“It seems that he is learning the Holy Light with Liadrin and Ratchet.”

“Why? He wants to become the first Cybertron Paladin?” With Optimus Prime’s personality, he should be able to learn the Holy Light very quickly. I just don’t know if he should give this Cybertron Paladin an extra set of armor and weapons?

While chatting with Eva casually, he took out an ordinary piece of iron and used alchemy to make an iron plate.

The iron plate was very simple, with a wolf head emblem symbolizing Winter City on the front, and “entry allowed” engraved in the common language of Brunnia on the back.

He was going to try this token. As for who to give it to to test the effect of this item…

“Helen! Give this thing to your father.”

After telling Helen about the possible effects, Helen immediately returned to the Kingdom of Sparta to find her father Tyndareus, and soon came to an accurate conclusion: the token did have the function of allowing people to come to Winter City!

Helen’s father Tyndareus gained the ability to freely come to Winterfell after taking the token, but he lost this ability after giving the token to others.

“Give this token to your father for safekeeping. If you stay here for a long time, he can also use the token to inform you if there is any problem over there.”
