[Chapter 288 Another Development Direction of the Winter Navy]
Watching Optimus Prime turn into a truck and drag his box away from Castle Glamorgan, David stood in the garden and took a walk for a while. After thinking for a while, he was ready to go out for a walk.
First, he welcomed the new residents as a lord, letting these newcomers get to know him as the lord, and then listened to the reports of Gareth Stanton and Optimus Prime.
Then he comforted Optimus Prime and gave guidance to the former Autobot leader, making him the second Cybertronian recognized by the Holy Light, and gave him a suggestion to upgrade the carriage.
Before that, he also listened to Megatron’s progress report on the sweep of the eastern part of the Northern Plains, and discussed with the political officer Weatherby Swan the resettlement of the new residents and various problems that might arise. It was already
past three o’clock in the afternoon after being busy all the time. After looking at the time, David decided to go out for a walk to relax. It was just dinner time when he came back.
Because when discussing with Weatherby today, we mentioned that we should properly guide the new residents to develop the aquatic products in the Winter River. If we can establish a complete aquatic product industry chain, it will not only solve the living problems of a large group of people, but also enrich the menu of Winter City.
In theory, Winter City, which is built next to the Winter River, should have a wealth of related industries.
The fact is that there are no real fishermen among the residents of Winter City, and the land is fertile and the crops are constantly harvested. Only a small amount of livestock and poultry are needed to ensure the daily needs of the residents of Winter City. The aquatic products in the Winter River have become the choice for the residents of Winter City to adjust and try new things.
Because he wanted to develop related industries, David unconsciously walked towards the river.
He was not going to the military dock, but walking along the main road towards the civilian dock.
Compared with the increasingly lively southern part of Winter City, which is almost using up all the residential land, the northern part of Winter City is much quieter.
There are still many empty houses with no one living in them, and more vacant land.
Although houses have been built facing the street, you can see a lot of vacant land if you walk a few steps inside.
Because there are few residents in this area, Pokémon are often seen in these vacant areas. David greeted an Eevee and was ignored…
However, he unexpectedly saw a Bulbasaur. It seems that Squirtle did not choose to lie down after recruiting some partners, but continued to recruit other Pokémon to Winter City. It’s just that the
efficiency is not very high. Maybe it’s because Pokémon themselves don’t like to leave their hometowns and settle in strange cities?
After wandering around in a relatively deserted area, David found that there was another person wandering around in this area besides himself.
“Leon?”
“David?”
That’s right, the other person wandering around in this area, as if searching for a box, was Leon Kennedy, a man with split hair called Sanguang.
“Are you looking for a house?” David remembered that Lyon had a place to stay in Winter City, but he had a wide network of connections, so maybe he was helping a friend find a house: “Are you helping a friend?”
“Yes.” If he wanted to bring his friend here, he certainly couldn’t avoid David, the Lord of Winter City. Lyon originally wanted to take some time to talk to David about this matter later, but he didn’t expect to suddenly meet him: “What are you doing…”
“I just finished dealing with some things and came out to relax.”
“Oh!”
In Lyon’s eyes, David was a very dedicated ruler. He would spend most of his time in Glamorgan Castle dealing with various things, and manage the entire Winter City in an orderly and better manner.
So even if Lyon encountered some troubles, he would not harass David. At most, he would ask Eva to borrow some equipment and then solve it on his own.
If he really couldn’t solve it, he would ask a friend who was more familiar with him for help.
“Who are you helping to find a house for?” David happened to have nothing to do, so he just chatted with Lyon for a while. At the same time, he was also very curious about who was going to settle in Winter City?
There are many people he is familiar with in the world of Resident Evil, such as Chris, who is currently receiving various training in the Winter Army. David has already met this male protagonist of the Resident Evil series.
He also knows that Leon arranged for Shirley to live in Winter City through a series of transactions. Currently, Shirley is enjoying the “free life of ordinary people” in Winter City, which she has not experienced for many years.
Rebecca has established a medical laboratory in Winter City, trying to see if she can find a way to completely eliminate the biochemical virus from Winter City.
These people are currently stationed in Winter City, but Chris should return to the world of Resident Evil after receiving training.
Claire seems to have been fooled by Leon into his newly formed department and became his colleague, so she did not settle in Winter City.
There is also Jill who stayed in BSAA and did not come to Winter City, but Jill may come to Winter City for training after Chris returns to BSAA, just like Chris.
These people don’t seem to need to find an extra house, especially since Leon chose an empty lot, which is impossible to rent for a short period of time.
“It’s an old friend.”
“Oh?” David showed an expression of “I understand”, he had guessed who it was.
“Cough~” Leon coughed awkwardly, but he did not deny it. Instead, he told David about the old friend’s situation: “Her name is Ada Wang, and she is a…freelancer.”
In fact, Leon didn’t know what Ada’s identity was, but this did not affect her position in his heart.
Due to Ada’s unpredictable whereabouts, Leon could only passively wait for her to come to him. In order to regain the initiative, Leon thought of a way: introduce Ada to David to work, so that it would be much more convenient for him to find Ada in the future.
After finally waiting for Ada to come to him again, Leon told her his thoughts. Ada also showed great interest in such a magical place as Winter City, but she had some things to deal with first, and she would come to Leon after those things were solved.
Although it was not an accurate answer, Leon had already started preparations, such as helping Ada find a suitable place to live.
After explaining the situation, David certainly would not object.
Ada was a very powerful agent. There was almost no intelligence that she could not steal. If she could be recruited to Winter City, his intelligence department would become even more powerful.
Chatting and walking, the two gradually left the vacant residential area and came to the river. David was surprised to see Sofia here and Hood gliding freely on the river.
“That is…”
“Hood.” David simply answered Leon’s question: “It’s the warship in history, but it looks like a human.”
“Well, although it’s incredible, I think it’s completely acceptable.”
There are so many weird things in Winter City, and this one is not the only one.
However, it’s still amazing to see a beautiful woman gliding freely on the water. There are also several turrets floating around. I wonder how the power compares to the original ship guns?
“Your Highness.”
“Ah, David!” Sophia turned around and saw that it was David, and greeted him with a smile: “Are you out to relax?”
“Yes.”
Sophia would hang out outside almost every day. In the eyes of this princess, there are too many new and interesting things in Winter City. David was not surprised to meet Sophia here.
Looking at this posture, it was obvious that he came specifically to see Hood show how he could move freely on the water.
“Lord Earl of Glamorgan.”
Hood also noticed David’s arrival, turned lightly on the water, and then controlled the speed to slowly sail to the shore and jumped directly onto the shore, showing extraordinary jumping ability.
While she saluted and greeted David, the turrets and other accessories around her disappeared with a blue light.
“Is that the ship suit? Was it received into the other dimension?”
“Yes.”
“What a convenient ability.”
David also noticed that Hood was wearing the same blue dress that he had worn when he rescued her. There was no sign of damage on it. Did Hood’s original dress return to its original state as he recovered from his injuries, or did Hood automatically change into this dress after summoning the ship suit?
As if seeing David’s confusion, Hood explained directly, “This is my battle outfit.”
“I see.”
David nodded. It seemed that Hood would automatically change into this blue dress when using the ship suit. In this case, this blue dress should have a good defensive power, right? I wonder if I can ask Hood for a set and give it to Pierre, Leonard, and Tony for research?
Just thinking about this, Sophia suddenly said, “This equipment called ship suit is really interesting? Can I try it?”
“It’s a pity, Your Highness, ordinary people can’t use ship suits.” Hood shook his head. Ship suits can only be used by humanoid warships that were born with it. Even other humanoid warships can’t use it, let alone ordinary humans.
Sophia refused to give up and turned her head to look at David.
“Why?”
“The Winter Alchemy Workshop is so powerful, can it make ship suits that ordinary people can use?”
“…”
David wanted to ask Sophia, ‘How do you know that the Winter Alchemy Workshop is so powerful?’, but before he could open his mouth, Sophia gave the answer directly.
“I went to the alchemy workshop to take a look, there are many magical things.” Sophia also added, “I have also seen Gwen’s suit.”
In Sophia’s opinion, the Winter Alchemy Workshop that can make the Queen of Black Poison’s suit can certainly make ship suits that she can use. After all, in her eyes, ship suits and blizzard power armor should be similar things.
“Well… it’s hard to say about ship equipment, but it seems possible to help you modify a set of power armor so that it can move on the water.”
At this time, David thought: Can his Winter Navy take this path?
