[Chapter 265 Benefits of Being the First Investor]
This is the fourth winter David has experienced since he came to the Northern Plains. Now he can enjoy winter very well.
Staying in the warm Glamorgan Castle, drinking steaming tea, eating various snacks and treats made from crops produced in his own territory, and talking nonsense with Laura.
“I heard that you are going to send people to the capital to collect intelligence?” Laura peeled an orange, tasted it herself, and then stuffed it into David’s mouth one by one.
“This orange is so sour!”
“I know you like sour food!” Laura didn’t mean to stop, and continued to stuff oranges into David’s mouth: “Are you ready to make Winter City an independent country?”
“It’s just normal intelligence gathering!” Although it was very sour, when Laura stuffed the orange into his mouth, he still opened his mouth and ate it obediently: “Not only the intelligence of the Kingdom of Tilan, if possible, I would like to send some intelligence personnel to several surrounding countries.”
If it weren’t for the problem of racial appearance, David even wanted to place intelligence personnel in the orcs and elves, but unfortunately the huge difference in appearance made it difficult to do such a thing.
“And collecting this information is also to ensure the safety of Winter City and the northern plains.”
David knew that the Kingdom of Tilan had powerful equipment. He could be sure of this from the reactions of Earl Sutton-Stewart and Princess Sophia. The
“answer” of the female knight Magnolia only made him more certain.
Then the question is, the Kingdom of Tilan has a powerful secret weapon that is unknown to the public, so do the other major human kingdoms have similar things? The
fact that the Sodurenma Empire can have the most vast land in the human kingdom should not be as simple as its long existence, right?
The Holy Gaunt Kingdom has so many small moves in secret? What is it relying on? The many gods believed in in the temple?
And the New Ailan Federation, which was established to fight against the three major powers, how did it resist the attack of the three countries?
If possible, David wanted to go around the three countries in person to find out the information.
But it was just a thought. This kind of thing was very unrealistic. Even if he didn’t consider his identity, David, who was not a professional intelligence officer, would find it difficult to find enough useful information if he went there. It would just be a waste of time.
Listening to David’s words, Laura always felt it was amazing.
Just over a year ago, David was just a small village chief, and there were only a few small wooden houses in the entire territory.
Although she had already noticed that David had great ambitions at that time, Laura felt that it would take at least a few years for David to achieve some results? How long
has it been? In less than two years, Winter City has sprung up, and the vast northern plains have become David’s territory. He also has a very powerful army in his hands.
The Winter Knights, the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment, and the Cybertron Legion.
According to Laura’s understanding, the Winter Knights are slowly increasing their numbers and replacing new weapons. After the Spartan Heavy Infantry Regiment has a surge in numbers, it will also become the main legion using power armor in the future.
In addition to the already powerful Decepticons and Autobots, the Cybertron Legion has recently begun to produce mass-produced fighters that can transform into Quinjet fighters, giving the Winter Knights a suitable vehicle.
In Laura’s opinion, as long as all these goals are achieved, David’s military power is enough to make him a king.
“What a pity…”
“What’s wrong?” David swallowed the last orange slice, but suddenly heard this, and looked at Laura with a strange face: “What did you think of?”
“When you become His Majesty the King, there will be more things to deal with in the future, right?”
David now has more and more things to deal with. Compared with the past when David was studying and practicing every day, and only needed to take some time out to deal with affairs occasionally, David now has to spend some time dealing with official business every day.
Even if there is no work that really requires him to make decisions, just listening to the progress reports of various things takes a lot of time.
Although Laura doesn’t like to stick to David all the time like Gwen, she sometimes hopes to spend some time with David.
It would be better if the two of them could go on adventures in some special places together like before.
“It’s not a difficult task!” David reached out and rubbed Laura’s little head, but Laura knocked him away with a speechless move: “If you want to go out on an adventure with me, you can go anytime!”
“Don’t you care about your own territory?”
“There is nothing I need to watch in Winter City now. Even if the orcs do their best to attack Snow Castle or Frost Post, Gareth and Floyd know how to deal with it.”
As for the construction of schools and factories, they don’t need him, the lord, to watch them personally, otherwise what’s the point of him appointing various officials?
In theory, David can throw all kinds of work to his subordinates. Unless it is a major matter related to the survival of the territory, other things can be ignored.
“Besides, this is also a major matter related to the survival of the territory.”
“Oh?”
“I can’t make my investors unhappy!”
Laura smiled and nodded, thinking that what David said made sense. As the first person to “invest” in Winter City, she is indeed eligible to enjoy some privileges.
Then the next question is whether to find a place to spend some time alone, and where to go?
The northern plains are definitely not suitable. It is officially winter and there has been heavy snow. The entire area has turned white and there is nothing to do at all.
Leave the northern plains and go to other areas?
“Will it be too far? Isn’t that bad?”
“Have you forgotten that I have a Cybertron body? A fighter plane form?”
“That’s right…”
If they use the Tomcat fighter, the two can leave and fly back to Winter City in a very short time, and it doesn’t matter how far they run.
“It’s an option, think about other places?”
One of the advantages of living in Winter City and having a good relationship with David is that in addition to the Brunnia continent and the world where she originally lived, she can also go to other worlds for adventure.
This is what Laura wants most.
As time goes by, more and more alien visitors come to Winter City, and Laura has more and more choices.
Just like when she was bored, she could go to the Caribbean world for adventure. This time she can also choose a target in a targeted way.
“Azeroth world, Marvel universe, Resident Evil world, Amazing Spider world, Pokémon world…”
There are already several worlds to choose from. After serious thinking, Laura quickly ruled out most of the modern background worlds.
Like the Marvel universe, the Amazing Spider-Man world, and the Resident Evil world, most places are no different from the world she lives in. What’s the point of her going there?
In fact, the only places that meet her adventure requirements are the Pokémon world and the Azeroth world. However, she has no interest in becoming a Pokémon trainer. It is more fun to go to the Azeroth world, where there are many places and things to explore.
“Do you want to go to Azeroth?”
“If possible, I actually want to experience the real-life version of World of Warcraft.” When looking up information, Laura also played the game a little bit. After estimating the time, she found that the Azeroth world is very close to that time point.
“Oh, it’s indeed an interesting suggestion.”
David didn’t care if Laura didn’t say it, but now that it was mentioned, he also realized it.
In addition, he felt that going to the Azeroth world could also handle some trivial matters: Anduin has been in Winter City for a while, and we can’t let this prince live in Winter City all the time, right?
In addition, because Fording returned to the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Varian’s contact with Winter City was not smooth. David felt that the reason why Varian had not taken Anduin back after he was sent to Winter City was that it was difficult for the two sides to get in touch.
This time, we can also establish formal diplomatic relations, so that Winter City can easily connect with Stormwind Kingdom and Lordaeron Kingdom in the future, and the human kingdoms at the southern and northern ends of the Eastern Kingdom continent will become allies of Winter City.
“That’s it! Go to Azeroth and experience the real World of Warcraft!”
The business was handled by the way, and there was no need to waste any time.
“It’s settled!” Laura kissed David heavily on the face, and then happily went to make preparations.
David did not call Helen or Gwen extra. He had already agreed with Laura that they would go to the world of two people, so of course he could not call anyone extra.
At most, he called Eva in, told his secretary some things, and told her his movements.
Due to the upgrade of the gold finger, Sylvanas, Jaina and others have gained the ability to travel back and forth to the world of Azeroth at will, and David does not have to worry about Eva not being able to find him in a special emergency.
When necessary, Jaina or Sylvanas can go to Azeroth, and then call David back to Winter City through the communication device.
“When Laura and I come back this time, maybe you can take a vacation too?”
Ever since coming to Winter City, Eva has been helping David, and she basically works every day of the year.
Now that everything in Winter City is on track, Eva may be able to take a good rest.
“Let’s talk about it after you come back!”
Eva didn’t think it was that hard, she really liked such a fulfilling life. In addition, she thought that David couldn’t immediately go on vacation with her after he and Laura had just gone out to play for a while, so it would be better to wait until next time.
“Then make a decision after I come back.”
After giving instructions on various things, David also went to pack his luggage. He would stay in Azeroth for a while this time, so he had to bring some very important equipment, such as toilet paper, shampoo, etc.
