Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 446



[Chapter 446 Constantine]

“Is this David’s country?”

Elsa and Anna stood on the roof of Glamorgan Castle, looking at the densely packed buildings around them, and opened their mouths wide in shock at David’s “true identity”.

They never expected that the young and handsome man who saved her (her sister) was not an ordinary priest, but a real king.

Well, it seems more suitable!

Compared with Arendelle, the Kingdom of Winter is much larger, and there are many more residents in the city. Just standing here and seeing the houses that can hardly see the edge, and the people flowing on the street, you can see this.

“This is just Winter City.”

“???”

Elsa and Anna looked at Laura with question marks on their faces, not understanding what the difference is?

“The kingdom ruled by David is not just Winter City.”

Elsa and Anna, who came from a similar city-state era, didn’t understand what this meant at all, so Laura took the two guests from afar to the study to popularize the geographical knowledge of the eastern part of the Brunnia continent for the two princesses.

While Laura was taking the two princesses on a tour, David was entertaining the newcomers who had just arrived in Winter City yesterday.

“Your Majesty, it’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m John Constantine.” The handsome man with short black hair didn’t know how to greet the king in front of him. Should he kneel down and salute?

“You’re welcome.” He raised his hand to signal the man in front of him not to worry about whether to kneel down or not. Not to mention Winter City, kneeling is not allowed in general. Even if there is David, he will make an exception for this man and exempt those etiquette.

The reason is very simple. He doesn’t want to be remembered by this guy. He doesn’t know when he will be cheated by this guy.

After all, this is the famous Constantine, the most famous cheater in the world. Even if the one in front of him is Shuai Kang, who is relatively not so bad, David still maintains due caution-if it is a bad Kang, David has a high probability of using expulsion again.

Shuai Kang can still stay. Considering that his world has God, Satan and high-level angels, it can be said to be a DC parallel universe with a very high upper limit.

“Do you mind?” After a simple greeting, Constantine exposed his true nature.

He doesn’t care about being a king or not. He just wants to have a bite now.

“Mind.”

In David’s current situation, secondhand smoke and the like would not affect him at all. He simply did not want to have ashes fall in his front hall.

“What a pity.” Constantine put the half-pulled cigarette back into the cigarette box and put it away: “By the way, are there any cigarettes in Winter City?”

“No.” David has never done anything to ban smoking, mainly because there is no market demand for it, and David does not need to rely on this thing to earn money back from the people.

At present, the “currency circulation” in Winter City is relatively healthy, and it has not yet reached the point where officials have a headache about how to circulate money.

After chatting with Constantine for a while and answering some questions raised by the other party, Constantine suddenly became curious about something: “I heard that your Majesty the King is honored as the Lord of Holy Light.”

“So?”

“Is it possible to borrow the power called Holy Light from you after signing a contract with you?”

After Constantine came to this magical place yesterday, he was quickly taken to Glamorgan Castle by Kara and instilled with the common language of Brunnia.

After knowing some basic information, Constantine wandered around Winter City and stayed in the Cathedral of Holy Light for quite a long time.

There, he saw the magic of the Holy Light, and also learned that the King of the Kingdom of Winter was the most powerful Holy Light user in the world.

Constantine, who was dying of lung cancer, suddenly became active. He was worried about how to cure his cancer. Maybe he could cure himself with this magical power?

Although he knew from the priest of the Holy Light Cathedral that anyone could learn the power of Holy Light, he suspected that he would die before he could learn such a completely unfamiliar mysterious power step by step.

So he wanted to ask if he could sign a contract or something to let himself master this power directly?

If His Majesty Glamorgan, the Lord of Holy Light, was willing to treat him personally, that would be great!

However, considering that he often had to deal with various demons or other strange things, Constantine felt that it would be more helpful if he could learn and master this power.

“If you want to learn the Holy Light, you don’t need to sign any contract with me.” David was surprised for two seconds. Constantine was not new to Winter City. Since he knew about the Holy Light, didn’t he know that anyone could learn it?

Of course, whether he could learn it or not was another matter.

Then he realized that Constantine was not missing out, but had a longer-term plan: he was trying to drag him down!

He was obviously a handsome guy, why did he play the same trick as a scumbag? Should I say that he is indeed worthy of being Constantine?

I wanted to say that as long as Constantine was willing to pay for the medical expenses, David could help him cure his lung cancer first, so that he would have enough time to study slowly.

As a result, he swallowed his words back and realized that this guy Constantine seemed to rely on debt every time he dragged people (gods and demons) down.

“It was a close call. I almost fell into the trap.”

He simply stopped mentioning that he could cure diseases, and only reminded Constantine, “If you are interested, you can go to the cathedral to consult Bishop Liadrin.”

Hearing what David said, Constantine did not show much disappointment. He was just impulsive, or he did not have much hope at the beginning. It did not matter whether he could trick people or not. It was a habitual trap.

Anyway, Winter City has the magical power of Holy Light, and there are many strong people who master mysterious knowledge and races who understand advanced technology. His illness does not seem to be a terminal illness here.

When he was about to despair, it was very lucky to be able to come to this place. After

meeting His Majesty the King, he had filled in his personal information yesterday. He will get his own ID card in a while. Constantine plans to live in Winter City for the next period of time and study the mystical knowledge here seriously.

After meeting Constantine, David returned to Glamorgan Castle and learned that Laura was strolling in the city with Elsa and Anna, and felt Winter City up close.

David turned and left Glamorgan Castle and went to the cafe to find Bruce Wayne, who liked to stay here every day.

“You haven’t used the strengthening potion yet?”

“No.”

“Still struggling?”

“No, I’m just enjoying my last moments as an ordinary human.” Bruce saw it clearly. Winter City is relatively stable now, and there is no opportunity for him to contribute his combat power. It doesn’t matter whether he uses the strengthening potion or not. As

for his own world, with Clark there, he doesn’t have to rush to improve his physical combat power.

“But I want an extra strengthening potion.”

“For Alfred?”

“Yes.”

“No problem… Speaking of which, if Alfred wants to move to another place to retire, I welcome him.”

“…” Bruce was speechless about David’s aboveboard poaching, but thinking of Alfred serving the Wayne family for decades and working hard for decades, it seemed that he should enjoy life: “I will convey your invitation to him.”

After a simple greeting, it was time to get down to business. David wanted to ask Bruce what suggestions he had for the future development of Winter City?

Bruce knew that David was not asking about the development of the Kingdom of Winter on the Brunnia continent, but about the overall development, especially considering the lunar outpost and the Sakhan on the Anera continent.

“Do you think we should eliminate the Sakhan in the outpost in advance?”

Bruce did not answer David’s question immediately. He was thinking… and soon came up with the answer: “You ask me this because you are worried that destroying this outpost in advance will attract the main fleet of the Sakhan?”

Through David’s description, Bruce knew that the Sakhan had the combat power to kill planetary life. In addition, the Sakhan Empire was a powerful country that explored and colonized the universe, and was particularly hostile to life forms like David. Once the lunar outpost was destroyed, it was very likely that the main force would be sent to come.

The Kingdom of Winter is still developing on the ground and has no ability to conduct space warfare.

If the troops of the Sakhan Empire come, the Kingdom of Winter and David can only passively take the beating at this stage.

The safest way is to ignore the outpost first and seize the time to develop the space force of the Kingdom of Winter.

But there is an enemy monitor overhead, and some Sakhan are making trouble on another continent. This situation makes people very uncomfortable. It is normal for David to want to eliminate these Sakhan first.

“Although I don’t like this method, I think the most reliable solution at present is for you to personally take action and lightcast all the Sakhan in the outpost.”

After considering all the situations, Bruce gave his own suggestion. This is also the most reliable solution he can think of to “not attract the main force of the Sakhan and gain enough time for development.”

Turning the Sakhan lightcasters in the outpost into David’s loyal lackeys will not only not arouse the vigilance of the Sakhan on the Anera continent, but also help Winter City to keep an eye on the Anera continent and the more distant Sakhan Empire.

“It’s indeed a good idea, I didn’t even think of it.”

David didn’t like the method of lightcasting in his heart, so he would subconsciously ignore this ability.

Bruce is different. He stands on a purely objective standpoint and thinks that lightcasting brainwashing is a very useful ability and is very suitable for the current situation.

Of course, he will not mock David for his bad brain, but will only feel relieved that David has a good moral bottom line. At least it

proves that he did not trust the wrong person.
