[Chapter 323 Sunny Boy]
David looked at the young Spartan in front of him, smiled and encouraged him, and then let him go about his business.
David had of course learned about the members of the Winter Knights in detail. Thaddeus, as the first Spartan to join the Winter Knights, did leave a deep impression on David.
Even if he didn’t have a special impression, David could still remember the other person’s name, because the entire Winter Knights had less than a hundred people, and his memory was getting better and better, so he could remember most things after reading them once.
Turning back, he continued to chat with Shirley. In fact, it was the first time that Shirley Birkin met David, the Lord of Winter City. After a curious look, she found that the legendary Duke of Glamorgan was just a handsome young man not much older than herself, which surprised her a little.
She couldn’t understand why such a seemingly “normal” person was not wanted to be seen by Leon as if he was guarding against a flood or a beast?
Shirley was full of questions, and David had already started chatting with Sansa.
“Hello, I should have met you earlier, but I was delayed by some things. It’s our first meeting. My name is David.”
“Hello.” Sansa looked at David and knew that the person in front of her was the owner of Winter City, David Glamorgan, who had just been promoted to the Grand Duke of Winter not long ago.
She seemed a little nervous, but the education she received since childhood allowed her to respond appropriately at the first time: “I am Sansa Stark.”
“Welcome to Winter City.”
After a simple greeting and self-introduction, David also asked Sansa if she had already known some “basic common sense”.
For example, the way to go back and forth, the various basic situations of Winter City, etc.
Sansa said that she already knew these things, but she was not very familiar with the situation in Winter City. She only knew a little bit through Shirley. She
only had a vague idea of what Brunnia Continent, the Kingdom of Tiran, Winter City, Iron Tree Castle, etc. As for Azeroth, Cybertron, Holy Light, etc., she had no idea at all.
What is Holy Light? I don’t understand!
Why can a ship made of metal float on the water? I don’t understand!
There were also things called cars running in Winterfell. She had no idea how they were done. She only knew that the public bus was very convenient.
She had been to Winterfell several times, and the only thing she really cared about was that the food in Winterfell was delicious; everywhere in Winterfell was very clean, and compared to her own Winterfell, it was even worse than the garbage dump here; there were many strange and beautiful clothes and shoes in Winterfell, and she wanted to buy some back, but she had no money!
After chatting for a while, David found that Sansa Stark’s behavior was very consistent with her age, and she was from a “backward” world. Even if she was an “aristocratic class” who could receive education, her vision was just that, and she didn’t care about “family and national affairs”.
She had never thought about whether the various things in Winterfell could bring any help to her homeland? The most complicated question in her mind was probably how to make some change and buy some beautiful clothes to take back.
Of course, such a young child didn’t have any bad intentions, and Sansa had never considered bringing her father or soldiers over. She didn’t even know that she could bring people back and forth between the two worlds.
Think about Gwen. When David first met Gwen, Gwen was a few years older than Sansa now. At that time, Gwen also didn’t think about any “big things”. She was thinking about how to take down David.
“I hope you live happily in Winter City.”
The conversation was almost over here. After knowing that Sansa was full of good feelings for Winter City, would come here often, and would not cause any harm to Winter City, he didn’t know what other topics to continue talking about.
Did he ask Sansa if she wanted to become stronger? Have you ever considered helping her father unify the Westeros continent? Or be more motivated and become the queen herself?
Sansa didn’t care about these things at all. Maybe David would let her enter the Winter Academy and be classmates with a group of peers, which would attract Sansa more.
Finally, David reminded Sansa again: “After a while, Winter City may use a new identity certificate. If you haven’t come here during this period, remember to ask whether the new identity certificate has been used next time you come… Or, go to take a photo in advance these days to apply for it, and go directly to pick up the new document when you come next time.”
Winter City’s special identity certificate, this thing David had thought about a long time ago.
At the beginning, Winter City lacked sufficient technology, but now it no longer lacks relevant technology, the server has been set up, and a large number of people have moved in recently.
In order to more conveniently manage the residents in the territory, a new version of the ID card must be issued.
During this period, Sheldon, who is fully responsible for the compilation of the population data of the Principality of Winter, is very happy. He is doing related work every day. If there are no accidents, the first batch of completed new certificates will be issued soon. The
new ID card is a card with simple personal information and photos on it, and a built-in chip, which is convenient for Winter City officials to use special equipment to scan and retrieve relevant information about the person.
In addition, the identity card will not be marked with “Azeroth immigrants”, “Azeroth diplomats”, “temporary residents of other worlds”, etc. However, after the official, such as law enforcement officers, scan, they will obtain different levels of information according to their own level, so as to facilitate the decision on how to deal with possible events.
In fact, David’s ultimate idea is that everyone carries a portable terminal. This terminal can be a watch or a bracelet. The best choice is to implant it into the body and attach it to the bones.
This terminal can integrate many functions such as communication, Internet access, and payment. However, it will take some time to develop to that level.
Now, the physical ID card is enough to cope with the current situation.
I talked to Sansa about the ID card. Because everyone has not stopped, Sansa and Shirley followed David and others all the way to the new agricultural area northeast of Winter City.
Countless free farmers have gathered here, waving farm tools and struggling with the wasteland where nothing grows except weeds.
“Where is Clarke?”
After applying to the official Winter City, each free farmer will receive some preferential treatment from the Winter City government department: such as providing farm tools, seeds, cheap rental housing, etc.
At the same time, the land that the farmer applies to develop will be recorded to avoid land disputes between farmers.
Generally, after a free farmer chooses the wasteland he wants to reclaim, he must first report it and the official will review it. Only after confirming that the land can be developed can the reclamation work begin.
So as long as you check the records, you can know where the land Clarke chose is?
In addition to Sophia and her personal guards, David also came with Elias Parker, the etiquette officer who often acts with the lord.
Elias can not only remind the new Duke not to be rude in public, but also serve as an assistant.
Before he set off, when he determined David’s purpose, he had already checked all the information that might be used, so when David asked, he immediately pointed out where Clarke was.
Following the direction pointed by Elias, David also saw Clarke who was sweating profusely.
It can only be said that Superman is worthy of being Superman. Even if he has only developed a small part of his own abilities, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
Clark applied for a large piece of wasteland, which is almost four times the size of several nearby farmers.
If he didn’t want to be too exaggerated, he could have applied for more land, and he would definitely be able to reclaim it, and it would not be “reclaimed” because it was abandoned for too long.
“Good afternoon, Clark.”
“Good afternoon, Duke.” Clark wiped the sweat from his forehead and greeted David with a smile.
From the first time he met Clark Kent, combined with his previous memories, David found that this might be the first time he saw Clark Kent smile so happily. His white teeth were shining in the sun. This posture was not like the always sad Superman in the movie universe, but more like the sunny Superman in the comics.
Could it be that giving him a piece of wasteland to reclaim made the darkness in this Superman’s heart disappear? The real entanglement of the emotional Superman is not Darkseid and Lois Lane, but the land?
“Just call me David.”
Clark smiled and didn’t answer. Instead, he looked at the people around David. Just by the fact that he went out with his entourage and guards, he couldn’t treat David as an ‘ordinary person’.
Who are these young girls? Could they be noble ladies from Winter City? But why did the noble ladies come to the wasteland?
“Is this land enough?” David looked around. Although there was no fence or anything to enclose the land, there were still obvious signs to distinguish who the wasteland belonged to.
Clark’s wasteland was surrounded by signs with Clark Kent written on them.
“Enough, and I found that the land here is very fertile, and I should be able to grow a lot of crops.” Clark felt that these lands were not small. In addition, while he was cultivating these lands, he could still go back to his original world to continue wandering and looking for clues related to his life experience.
After being able to travel freely between the two worlds, he didn’t have to continue looking for odd jobs in his own world to earn living expenses along the way.
He can eat, rest, and buy some necessities in Winter City, and go back to that world to wander around in his spare time… Maybe, without having to worry about food and accommodation, he can help those in need?
Although he has been struggling in his heart, whether he should really pretend to be an ordinary person.
But in fact, he has been helping those who are in trouble. His brain is still struggling, but his heart and body have actually made a choice.
