[Chapter 281 An Impossible Mission]

Although David had not personally met Ethan too many times, he had always kept an eye on the situation of this ace agent.

Ethan’s choice to work as a purchasing agent in Winter City was nothing. What surprised David was that this agent seemed to enjoy this ordinary lifestyle.

“What do you think of Winter City?”

“It’s a very good place.” Ethan’s words were not polite, but he felt that this place was very good from the bottom of his heart. Mainly in this place, he could temporarily put aside his identity as an agent and relax in a real sense: “I’m almost saving enough money to buy a house.”

“You can also buy a piece of land for living, and then find craftsmen to help you build a house according to your preferences and needs.”

Winter City’s infrastructure was laid out very extensively from the beginning, and a lot of land was reserved for building houses.

Even though many new houses were built to receive a large number of new populations, some land was still empty and not used.

If Ethan is not satisfied with the layout of the existing houses in Winter City, he can design one himself.

I believe that the craftsmen will be happy to meet Ethan’s requirements. In addition to making a living by taking on such jobs, these craftsmen are also very curious about various designs that they have never touched. If Ethan brings a “advanced” design plan, there may be craftsmen willing to give him a discount and let him enjoy a high discount.

“In fact, I have already chosen a house. The current houses in Winter

City are great.” Ethan thinks that the “original” medieval style buildings in Winter City are the best choice! He thinks it would be strange to build a modern luxury villa in such a city.

Moreover, the infrastructure here in Winter City is very complete. These houses just look “rustic”. There is no difference between living in modern houses. Just buy a ready-made house and move in immediately.

After the two chatted for a while, David naturally turned the topic to Ethan’s work.

It is not the purchasing agent job in Winter City, but his job in his own world.

Ethan didn’t want to keep his situation secret.

After staying in Winter City for a while, he has learned that many people from other worlds like himself have various magical identities.

Captain America, Iron Man, Transformers, former Colonial Governor of the British Empire, Ranger General of the High Elf Kingdom, etc., compared to him, his identity as an agent is really nothing.

Moreover, he didn’t think he could really hide his true profession. He believed that the Lord had already investigated his situation almost completely. When he was in Winter City, he could occasionally feel that someone was observing him.

“Does the Earl want me to help with something?”

“Not yet.”

David did not hypocritically say that he didn’t need Ethan to make any contribution. It was useless to play those routines with people like Ethan. It was better to say what he had to say. Being frank might make the other party let down his guard faster.

He was a little curious. What reward would he get if he raised the favorability of Ethan Hunt, an elite agent?

Because this question came to his mind after meeting Ethan, he didn’t think about how to better guide the topic in advance, so the two of them were basically chatting awkwardly now.

Talk about whatever comes to mind. Fortunately, Ethan is curious about many things. After confirming that David is indeed very kind and friendly, he asked a lot of questions about Winter City.

In addition, there are things that Eva told him at the beginning, but he is not sure: for example, when he encounters trouble and needs the help of Winter City, he can directly borrow many resources of Winter City, including weapons.

David affirmed this. Although as he grows stronger, the relationship between the later alien visitors and David will change.

But for Winter City, these people from other worlds will still receive some preferential treatment.

After all, an alien visitor means the resources of a new world. With the development of Winter City, perhaps David will slowly expand the power of Winter City to more worlds.

“Including the latest equipment?” It is impossible for Ethan to say that he is not curious about the weapons and equipment of Winter City.

It’s just that from the beginning, he positioned himself as an ordinary person and thought that he was not qualified to contact the new equipment of Winter City. As a result, he now learned from David that the situation is not what he thought? If he asks, can he still borrow those things?

“As long as you can use it…” David explained that it would be difficult for Ethan to use equipment such as Blizzard Power Armor directly. He must undergo various training first.

Apart from that, there are not many restrictions.

“What kind of equipment are they?”

Seeing Ethan’s curious look, David said that if you have nothing to do later, you can go with him to have a look.

The two had already walked into the Cathedral of Holy Light and found Liadrin who was teaching the priest apprentices to learn the knowledge of Holy Light.

Ethan handed the purchased goods to Liadrin, collected his own reward, and watched David and the high elf Holy Light Bishop chat about the Holy Light priests.

He did not interrupt, but just listened quietly for a while, and realized that Winter City would welcome a large number of new residents. This Earl David-Glamorgan was worried about the medical problems in the territory.

“It is definitely too late to rely on my teaching and training in Winter City. I will go back to Azeroth in a few days!” Liadrin did not think too long. She was an orthodox Holy Light priest and knew how long it took to train a qualified novice priest. Even if the current batch of apprentices had good talents, there was no way to make them all successfully become real priests in a few months.

So far, the best performing apprentices in this batch are Mordo and Kaecilius, two international students, and the rest are still far from truly learning the Holy Light.

Therefore, the most reliable way is to return to Azeroth and recruit a group of Holy Light priests to live in Winter City.

“It may be difficult to recruit priests in the Kingdom of Lordaeron.” David reminded him slightly. The Kingdom of Lordaeron was in a state of disrepair, and many lands were contaminated by the Scourge. They themselves felt that there were not enough priests, and Liadrin would definitely not recruit them: “You can consider going to Stormwind Kingdom.”

“Maybe not. There are many believers of the Holy Light in Quel’Thalas who admire you.”

If it weren’t for taking care of her motherland, Liadrin felt that she could completely catch all the believers of the Holy Light in Quel’Thalas and bring them all to Winterfell.

“That’s too exaggerated.”

David felt that if Liadrin really did that, perhaps Quel’Thalas would immediately break off diplomatic relations with Winterfell. After

talking about business, David also greeted Mordo and Casillas. David found that these two Kamar-Taj mages were more respectful to him than before, which made him a little puzzled-except when he first came to Winterfell, he had hardly seen these two people, right? Could it be that Liadrin taught some strange knowledge?

After coming out of the Cathedral of Light, David took Ethan back to Fort Glamorgan, where he showed him the main weapons and equipment of Winter City. The

Ironforge version of the Garand rifle has not been completely retired. Floyd said that this weapon can be used to train new recruits. It is very suitable as a training firearm to familiarize with hot weapons, because it is difficult for new recruits to use the Piccolo assault rifle right away.

Therefore, the Garand rifle, which should have been eliminated, still remains in active service, but it is no longer the official weapon of the main force.

Ethan tried a few shots and found that the recoil and power of this Garand rifle were very large. Even if powerful ammunition was not used, the power was still amazing.

And he liked the pistol called Piano very much. The large capacity of one hundred rounds of bullets in each magazine was really attractive.

Afterwards, David took Ethan to the Winter Alchemy Workshop, where he looked at more equipment props.

“The storage bracelet has a cubic meter of space inside; the multifunctional glasses have night vision, telescope, photography, locking, and anti-glare functions; the holographic mask, which can project any face by covering the face with this film; the small computer, which is convenient for invading electronic devices at any time, can also serve as arm armor…”

In addition to the storage bracelet, multifunctional glasses and holographic masks have only recently begun to be mass-produced, and only in small batches.

These equipment will mainly be provided to the intelligence department in charge of Edwin Van Cleef, so that his intelligence personnel can better hide themselves in order to explore various information.

In addition, there are small bombs and flash bombs made into buttons and accessories. These props are good things for intelligence personnel to use.

Ethan’s eyes were straight, and he wanted to pack up all the equipment in front of him.

He believed that with his strength and courage, and with these equipment, there would be no task he could not complete. Even if he was asked to invade the CIA headquarters, it would not be a difficult task.

He was a little suspicious whether the colleague he met before had already enjoyed the various benefits in Winter City?

Just when he was thinking this, David’s communicator suddenly rang, and it was James Norrington who was looking for him.

Generally speaking, although David would carry a communicator with him, if it was not an emergency, everyone would come to Castle Glamorgan to look for David. If they couldn’t find him, they would ask Eva about David’s whereabouts.

If it wasn’t a particularly urgent matter, only Tony would use the communicator to look for him, and James Norrington would never do that.

So when David found out that it was James Norrington who contacted him, his first reaction was that something had happened at the Winter River!

“What happened?”

“My lord, you may need to come to the dock in person.” James Norrington didn’t waste any words and went straight to the point: “A man was rescued here at the military dock, and his identity may be quite special.”
