Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 361



[Chapter 361 Light of Hope]

“Winter City?”

The purple-haired woman blinked her special green eyes. She had never heard of this place, but judging from the surrounding environment, she seemed to be far away from where she had been before.

Looking around, people were coming and going on the streets. She hadn’t seen such a peaceful and lively scene for a long time.

Or rather, since the disaster, there would be no such scene on Earth.

So… what exactly is this place?

Before she asked, David on the other side had already said a lot of things in one breath, which made her stunned.

After a long time, she came to her senses and realized what the other party meant.

“Winter City? Winter Principality? Brunnia Continent?” It sounded incredible, but it made many unreasonable things reasonable: “Are you saying that this is not Earth?”

“No.”

“Why do you know about Earth?”

David had to continue to introduce the situation of Winter City. When he heard that he was not the ‘first’, let alone the only person who came here from Earth, the purple-haired woman gradually began to believe David’s words.

“It sounds amazing.” The purple-haired woman looked at David curiously, remembering that the young man said that he was the lord of this city: “My name is Clarice Ferguson, you can also call me Blink.”

David nodded. He had long recognized that the person in front of him was Blink from the X-Men. After all, this person’s appearance was very recognizable.

But the name Clarice Ferguson made him feel even more unfamiliar: “I am David Glamorgan, you can call me David, unfortunately I don’t have a nickname or anything.”

Clark coughed lightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he held back. He was not Tony Stark, and he didn’t have to say it every time he thought of something to complain about. So he introduced his name to Clarice: “Clark Kent.”

After greeting Clarice, Clark said goodbye directly, saying that he would not delay David from introducing Winter City to the newcomers, and he had to go back and wait for General Zod.

“Zod shouldn’t be here so soon, right?”

“I still have to go back and sort out some information. I promised Tony that I would sort out some Kryptonian technology.”

After being “educated” by Tony and David, Clark was not prepared to hide the Kryptonian technology. He was ready to use these technologies to see if he could make some contributions to Winter City and the Earth in his own world.

Although he felt it was inappropriate before, after careful consideration, Clark felt that it was a very good plan to establish a company and slowly integrate these high-tech technologies into the lives of Earthlings.

After waving goodbye, Clark walked away and his figure gradually disappeared.

Clarice, who watched this scene the whole time, reduced most of her doubts: “Is this person named Clark also from another world?”

“Yes, he is from another world, but he is not from Earth.”

“Alien?” Clarice was shocked. She didn’t realize that the man was actually an alien. Compared with him, her appearance seemed more like an alien.

But… alien? Clark? Why do I feel strangely familiar?

“Yes, he is Superman. Have you read Superman’s comics, animations, movies, etc.?”

“…”

Clarice looked at David, suspecting that this person was joking. A lord from another world was explaining Superman to her. This scene was too outrageous.

For a moment, Clarice began to suspect that she had not actually come to another world, but fell into some kind of illusion, or maybe she had fainted and was having an absurd dream.

Thinking of the worst, maybe she did not escape the pursuit, but was actually seriously injured and was on the verge of death, so she saw such an outrageous picture and was escaping from the reality of impending death.

David did not expect that in just a blink of an eye, the other party had thought of so many things in his head, and even questioned whether he was a real person in his heart.

Just when David was about to ask Clarice if there was anything he wanted to know, a phantom suddenly appeared next to him.

Compared with the portal when Clarice appeared, this scene was much more familiar to David.

“Is it like this when I appear?”

Clarice remembered the scene when Clark left just now. So when he appeared, it was also this kind of phantom that appeared first? Slowly becoming clearer until it becomes a real person?

“No, the situation when you appeared was quite special.”

When Clarisse appeared, a portal appeared directly. This was the first time David had seen this situation. It was probably related to the other party’s teleportation ability?

The specific situation may have to be studied slowly.

“But other people who came to Winter City all appeared in this way.”

David also explained the way of appearing, the way of leaving, and how to travel between the two worlds. Because he used the most concise language to introduce it, he only said a few words in total.

As soon as she finished speaking, the phantom in front of her had turned into a real person.

It wasn’t that someone from another world had come to Winter City. This time it was Gwen who showed up, but she also brought another person with her: Doctor Octopus Otto Octavius.

“David? What a coincidence!” Gwen looked up and saw David standing in front of her. She sighed that she had come at a very coincidental time. She didn’t know if David had just come back or was about to go out.

Then Gwen noticed the stranger standing next to David. Because of his unique appearance, anyone who saw him once would never forget him. So Gwen was sure that there had never been such a person in Winter City before.

With David standing next to her, it was obvious that this person was a newcomer. David should be introducing her to the various situations in Winter City.

After looking at each other for a few times, Gwen didn’t forget the business and introduced Otto Octavius next to David.

In fact, the two had met before, but that time David only introduced his name and expressed his willingness to “support” Dr. Otto Octavius’ research.

But at that time, Dr. Octavius had the financial support of the Osborn Group, and did not take David, a young man who looked like he had nothing and was more like a liar, seriously.

When they met again, he realized that the other party was actually a duke, ruling a vast area, and had the magical ability to connect multiple worlds.

“Welcome to Winter City, Dr. Octavius.”

David tacitly did not mention the situation when they met last time. Although Dr. Octavius was a little embarrassed, he certainly would not mention the meeting that was not worth remembering if the other party did not mention it. It was just that he was much more polite this time: “Just call me Otto.”

“You two have just arrived in Winter City, so it’s a good opportunity to visit the city together!”

Otto Octavius certainly agreed. He was willing to come to Winter City with Gwen to take a look, and he was inclined to accept it in his heart.

Although Gwen’s words to him were hard to believe at the beginning, after confirming that there really was an alternate world and that he could go there, the various things introduced before began to deeply attract the scientist.

Ark reactor, powerful energy battery technology, nanotechnology, anti-gravity engine, these things sounded like black technology in science fiction novels to him, and it was unknown how many years it would take to build them in reality.

However, all these things can be seen in Winter City, and compared with his imperfect reactor technology, it is nothing at all.

After a round, he began to doubt whether Winter City really needed him?

“Of course, talents like you just lack a suitable environment. I believe that you can show greater potential in Winter City.”

Not everyone can make a reactor by hand, not to mention that Doctor Octopus made a nuclear fusion reactor.

He was just bound by the world. If Doctor Octopus lived in Tony Stark’s universe, his achievements would not necessarily be worse than those of Stark and his son, because the Marvel Universe has a broader technological ceiling.

After visiting the Winter Alchemy Workshop and Power Station, Clarice also expressed her desire to see the military strength of Winter City, so everyone went to the Winter Barracks again.

Here, the two newcomers saw the main weapons and equipment of the Winter Army: Blizzard Power Armor and Piccolo Assault Rifle. These powerful weapons also left a deep impression on the two.

Because the two did not know what era this world was in, they did not know what these weapons meant in this world.

But compared with the army of their own world, the combat effectiveness of the Winter Army was undoubtedly amazing.

The entire city of Winter City looked like a relatively “backward” ancient city, but it had a complete and advanced infrastructure inside, plus these advanced weapons, which gave the two an illusion:

Winter City was a very advanced city, and this world should be a civilization that was much more advanced than the Earth.

Therefore, the two had slightly different ideas.

Dr. Otto Octavius felt that he could learn more advanced knowledge here.

Clarice Ferguson was thinking seriously, could the military power of Winter City deal with the Sentinel robots that almost completely exterminated her world?

It should be no problem, right?

Clarice’s eyes were on the Transformers not far away. These Cybertrons looked very strong, plus the knights using power armor and Piccolo Assault Rifle.

Not to mention, there are many strong people from other worlds in this magical city.

For example, the “Superman” she had seen before.

At this time, Clarice already knew that the Clark Kent she had seen before was the Superman she knew. If that was the case, those sentinel robots might not be enough for this person to fight alone.

“Is my world saved?”

Clarice, who had originally given up hope for the future, found that a flame of hope was burning in front of her, making her eager to hold it tightly in her hands.
