Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 40



[Chapter 40 Three Teams in One Frame]

Waiting for the figures to solidify, David looked at the two phantoms and guessed that one of them was most likely Will Turner, but when Will wanted to come over, another newcomer appeared. The

actual situation was completely different from the guess. When one of the figures became solid, his posture changed significantly.

Unlike Laura and Fording, those people were walking when they appeared, but this one seemed to be holding something?

As the figures became clear, a blue figure rushed in front of David.

Buzz~

David, who had been practicing hard, reacted immediately and released the Holy Light Shield to protect himself. The figure that suddenly rushed towards him stopped in front of David after hitting the Holy Light Shield released by David. The round shield with the word “米” in the other party’s hand was clearly presented in front of David.

“This shield…”

When David looked at the shield, the shield holder finally reacted, looking at the man standing in front of him with a puzzled look on his face, who was covered in golden light. The long sword that had been raised in his right hand was lowered, and only the round shield in his left hand was still blocking in front of him to protect himself.

“Where is this place? Who are you?”

The woman spoke in British English, which was the third most familiar language for David.

“This is Winter Village, I’m the village chief David.” David moved sideways a few steps, mainly to protect Mark, who had little combat power: “Don’t be nervous, we are not your enemy.”

The woman holding the round shield looked around. It looked like a very backward rural village, with no trace of “modern civilization” around. This made her a little wonder where she was.

However, the young man in front of her spoke a language she was familiar with, which made her relax a little, wondering if she had returned to England.

“My name is Carter, Peggy Carter!”

In fact, when David saw the round shield with a Union Jack pattern in the other party’s hand, he guessed the identity of this person: Captain Carter, who replaced Steve Rogers due to some accidents and received the super soldier serum injection and became a super soldier.

In connection with the way this person appeared, David wondered if Captain Carter ran to him when he pushed the giant octopus into the portal?

He just turned these things in his mind and was not in a hurry to explain the situation to Captain Carter. Captain Carter was a superhero on the side of justice after all. She would not attack them unless they showed any hostility or did anything bad. As for

the previous one, it should have been a simple accident: if David guessed correctly, Captain Carter was struggling with the monster at the time, and the huge force in front of him suddenly disappeared, which allowed Carter, who was fighting with all her strength, to hit David with her shield.

“When new people come in the future, we need to keep some distance. Who knows what these people were doing at the time?”

After keeping this in mind, David turned his head and looked at another shadow.

While he was talking to Captain Carter, the other shadow had become solid, and now it revealed its true appearance: a beautiful girl with a slender figure and bright blonde hair stood in the open space, looking around with a puzzled look on her face.

“This…”

David thought for a while and couldn’t remember who this young woman was? This was not surprising. When Fording first appeared, he didn’t recognize the identity of the paladin.

At this time, something unexpected happened. After seeing Captain Carter, the young girl suddenly shouted: “MOM (Mom)!”

? ? ?

This shout not only startled David and Mark, but also Captain Carter, who was quietly standing nearby and observing the surroundings, was stunned.

“MOM? Who? Me?”

Captain Carter looked at the young girl running towards him with an expression of “Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?” and was astonished.

“MOM, where are we? Why are you dressed like this?”

“…” Looking at the girl who ran in front of her and looked at her uniform with strange eyes, Captain Carter felt a little confused: “Did you recognize the wrong person?” She

actually wanted to curse. This girl looked to be in her twenties, not much younger than herself, and she actually called her mom? Is there something wrong with this kid’s brain or eyes?

However, as a righteous Captain Carter, she still controlled her temper very well and responded to the girl’s outrageous questions with a smile.

“How could I be mistaken? But you seem to have become younger.” The girl frowned and kept looking at Captain Carter in front of her, and finally stopped her gaze on the round shield in Carter’s hand: “This shield…Did Dad know that you changed the pattern on the shield?”

“…” David and Mark looked at Peggy Carter with an embarrassed face, and wanted to go get some snacks to watch the fun, so they stayed aside and didn’t say anything.

But even if the two wanted to pretend to be invisible, Captain Carter would not ignore them. He stopped entangled with the young girl, but looked at David: “Where is this place?”

She suspected that she might have fallen into some kind of illusion? Thinking of the light on the man’s body before, she thought it might be this man’s trick.

“Ahem~” David pointed to the table next to him and said, “Sit down and talk, I will explain the details to you.”

Peggy Carter nodded, and the other girl had already noticed that something was wrong, frowning as if thinking about something.

Just when everyone was about to sit down and have a good chat, Mark suddenly called out, “David!”

After David looked at him, he pointed to the empty space not far away, where Captain Carter and the young girl had just appeared.

Following Mark’s reminder, David found that another shadow appeared in the empty space.

“This…”

David never expected that another person would appear.

“Will?” Mark was also surprised. According to previous speculation, it was not surprising that another new person appeared after Will appeared. It was already surprising that two new people appeared now. This time, it must be Will, the little blacksmith, right? I

never expected it! It was still not Will who appeared this time.

Because of Mark and David’s reactions, Carter and the young girl noticed the shadow in the empty space. They both witnessed a shadow slowly turning into a real person, and they also realized how they appeared here.

But the two did not rush to ask what this strange phenomenon meant, because when the shadow gradually turned into a real person and revealed a clear appearance, the two women who had just arrived in Winter Village could not sit still, and stood up in surprise and looked at each other.

Captain Carter had a look of doubt and uncertainty on his face; the other girl was more straightforward and shouted in surprise: “DAD?”

This surprised everyone, including the handsome man in a brown leather jacket who had just appeared.

“Peggy?” The handsome man looked over in the direction of the voice, but ignored the beautiful blond woman next to him, and his eyes seemed to be glued to Peggy Carter. “Steve?

” Peggy’s tone was full of doubt. Although the man who suddenly appeared had a familiar face and voice, his physique was completely different from the Steve she was familiar with.

“Is it really you, Peggy?” The man called Steve rushed to Peggy’s side and looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, but a few seconds later he changed his expression to a lost one: “I must be dreaming, how is this possible?”

“Are you really Steve?” Peggy Carter also looked incredulous. She looked up and down at Steve in front of her, and even reached out to touch him. The solid touch seemed to remind her that this was all real, but it was indeed not the Steve she was familiar with: “Could it be… you also used the super soldier serum?”

Peggy thought of a possibility, but this sentence made Steve stunned.

“What do you mean? What do you mean I also use it?” Steve took a step back and looked carefully at Peggy Carter in front of him, as well as the familiar yet unfamiliar shield in her hand. He seemed to have guessed something, but he was not very sure.

“Ladies and gentlemen, maybe I can solve your doubts.” While David was still thinking about how to explain the somewhat confusing situation in front of him, Mark spoke up very timely: “I think you should come from different parallel universes, so although you know each other, the other party is not the person you are familiar with.”

“Who are you?”

“Mark Watney, the most powerful botanist on earth, and an astronaut of NASA.”

Hearing that it was a scientist, even a botanist, Steve felt that the other party’s words had a little more credibility: “Steve Rogers, just call me Steve.”

Reaching out his hand and shaking hands with Mark twice, Steve took the opportunity to look at David.

“David, Winter Village…that is, the village chief here.”

“Hello.”

Steve finally had time to observe the surrounding environment, but he quickly put his attention back on the people in front of him, and naturally did not ignore the young blonde girl.

“Sharon!” The girl looked at Steve in front of her, and then looked at Peggy next to her. Of course, she did not ignore what Mark said just now. She now understood why these two familiar relatives seemed to have never seen her: “Sharon Rogers.”

David, who finally knew the girl’s full name, completely confirmed the girl’s identity!

Although the girl had called Peggy Carter “Mom” before, he didn’t know if Peggy had been the girl’s mother in a certain universe, so he didn’t think about it that way.

When Captain America Steve Rogers appeared, she called him “Dad” and he guessed the girl’s identity. When he heard her name, he was even more certain – Sharon Rogers, the daughter of Captain America Steve Rogers and Peggy Carter who were not frozen, and also the Captain America of that universe.

“Wow, Marvel’s new script: Captain America: Underworld? Three teams in the same frame?”
