[Chapter 482 Perfect Disguise]

After three years of studying starship command, and getting a powerful weapon like red matter, this trip to Star Trek took a long time, but it was a great harvest and the time was not wasted.

After returning to Winter City, Tony and Bruce immediately used the potion they had prepared in advance to restore their previous appearance.

James did not drink the potion again. He was not very old. After three years in Starfleet Academy, his appearance only looked slightly younger than before drinking the potion.

There was not much difference, so it was not unrecognizable.

Tony and Bruce were different. Everyone was used to their previous appearance, even themselves.

Edkin returned to his original “state” when he returned to Winter City. James Kirk was only a part of his life. He would not completely become another person because of his “reincarnation” into James Kirk.

He was still Edkin, but he had just experienced a more peculiar adventure.

“So you don’t have to worry, Kira has become your biological daughter who has no blood relationship with you.”

“…”

Edkin was speechless. He had never worried about this matter.

However, after returning to Winter City smoothly, it means that his mission has been successfully completed. His sins have been completely paid off, and his daughter will no longer be subject to any restrictions and will gain true freedom.

Although his companions’ sins still need to be paid slowly, the time served by others will be reduced a lot after Edkin’s share is removed.

“Next, there should be nothing for me to do, right?”

“No, I have something to talk to you alone.” David stopped Edkin who was about to leave and asked him to wait for a moment. He would first explain some things to Tony, Bruce, James and others.

After Tony and Bruce restored their appearance, they were ready to leave.

Tony was going to study the red matter. In addition to wanting to copy this matter, he also had to think carefully about how to use this dangerous thing to maximize its function.

“Such a dangerous thing, you’d better not study it in Winter City.”

“Don’t worry, I will study this thing in a specially opened small plane.”

“When did you tinker with a small plane?” David knew that many wizards knew how to open up a separate small plane, which was closely connected to the present world, but did not belong to the same world.

Such a small world will have various characteristics according to the needs of the mages, such as different time flow speeds, more abundant arcane energy, etc.

Mages can effectively avoid accidents by conducting research in it – in case of emergency, they can just run away and cut off the connection between the small world and the real world, so that they will not be hurt even if it explodes.

However, Tony seems to have only learned magic knowledge for a short time, but he can actually do this?

As if seeing through David’s doubts, Tony did not have the idea of pretending to be a big boss, and explained very simply: “Jaina and Steve helped me.”

“Oh!”

David understood after hearing this, and he could even guess how Tony persuaded the two to help: You don’t want me to accidentally blow up Winter City while doing research, right?

After making sure that there would be no accidents, David let Tony do whatever he wanted.

As for what kind of space battleships should Winter City have? Or who will make them, this matter can be left to the Cybertron Technology Research Center.

With the experience of helping Megatron build the aerospace carrier, and the fact that Cybertron technology has no shortage of technical information on space battleships, David also got the battleship information of the Macross from LAI.

In addition to the information collected from the Marvel Universe, the technical knowledge stored in the Kryptonian spacecraft and the internal storage, and the technical information from the Star Trek world, Winter City has already stockpiled a lot of technology. What they have to do is to use these technologies effectively and design a space battleship that is strong enough to meet the current situation of Winter City.

Although the new space battleship has not even prepared the drawings and created a new folder, David has already begun to think about what the new battleship should be called?

Civilization class? Brunnia? Cybertron? Earth?

Star class? Gemini? Sirius? Andromeda?

Multiverse class? Azeroth? Marvel? Tomb Raider?

Several ideas flashed through his mind, and as Tony, Bruce, and James left one after another, David decided to deal with Edkin’s affairs first.

“The mission was successfully completed, and your sentence is over.” David informed Eva by the way, asking her to handle all the relevant procedures: “What are your plans next?”

Edkin was not surprised that David stopped him and asked these questions.

He learned interstellar command, and happened to be the starship captain that Winter City lacked the most. As a king, David could not watch him leave.

“To be honest, because this mission was too sudden, although I have been there for many years, I have never seriously thought about what to do next?”

Edkin lied. In fact, he thought about this question more than once.

As a result, he found that his future did not depend entirely on himself, but more on what David Glamorgan, the King of Winter City, thought?

He thought about returning to the continent of Faerun and living the free life he had originally.

Although he was a little poor, he had no constraints. After leaving the Harper, the only responsibility he had to shoulder was to take good care of his daughter.

However, Kira, who has lived well in Winter City and learned a lot of knowledge in Winter College, and has adapted to the comfortable life here, should not be willing to return to Faerun Continent, right?

In addition, his companions have not yet regained their freedom. Before deciding whether to return to Faerun Continent, he must help his companions solve their problems first.

“It is not difficult for your companions to regain their freedom as soon as possible.”

There are many good things in Faerun Continent, but it does not mean that David must collect all those things. It does not matter if he cannot get them.

These companions of Edkin can completely “atone” in other ways.

For example, go to the continent of Anera to help Laura, or go to other worlds like Edkin to complete the tasks assigned by David.

There is also a more direct plan, working in Winter City, just like serving a sentence in the city.

“In this case, I will thank His Majesty the King on their behalf.”

Obviously, this is the preferential treatment and benefits he received because of his performance this time. Edkin does not think that it is a bad thing that he went on a mission and the benefits were counted on his companions.

In a way, these companions have to serve their sentences in Winter City, and in a way, it is also his own fault.

“As for you… Although I really hope you can become the captain of the Kingdom of Winter, I will not force you to do so. You can do something else if you want.”

“I will seriously consider it.”

David nodded, indicating that his invitation was long-term and Edkin could take his time to consider it.

Anyway, it takes time for Winter City to build a space battleship, and it takes even more time to build a fleet. Even if Edkin is willing to be the captain, there will be no spaceship for him to command in a short time.

After watching Edkin leave, David walked to the window and looked out through the glass.

The new Winter Castle is the tallest building in Winter City. David’s office and bedroom are also on the higher floors, where he can see farther.

Compared with the past, you can see the edge of Winter City by standing a little higher. Now, even if you stay in the upper floors of Winter Castle, it is difficult to see the edge of the city clearly.

More and more people come to Winter City to settle down, and more and more houses are built. In the absence of building too many apartment-style high-rise buildings, the actual control area of Winter City has been extending outward.

This is actually a very headache for government officials.

The increasing number of areas to be managed means that their workload is constantly increasing.

Especially after the humans rescued from the Matrix world came to Winter City, their demands were much more than those of the people who migrated from Brunnia.

After ensuring basic food, clothing, housing and transportation, these people can always come up with some new tricks to surprise the officials of Winter City.

Some of the demands that seemed “weird” to the officials were directly reported to David.

For this situation, David was not prepared to personally intervene, but asked his officials to find a solution themselves.

With more and more such people, and the better life of the residents of Winter City, there will be more and more similar situations in the future. Government officials must learn how to deal with various problems as soon as possible, otherwise they will be unqualified and will become the first batch of employees to be eliminated.

Since the birth of Winter City, the number of officials has been increasing, and it has been in a state of shortage for a long time. Becoming an official of Winter City is equivalent to getting a stable job, and some officials have become lazy because of this.

“In addition to college graduates, can we recruit a batch of new people from the public?”

Winter City has always recruited officials from the public, but it was originally to fill the gap in employment.

This time, David hopes to recruit a batch of new people to replace those officials who are unqualified or directly rotten.

New recruits may not be more capable than old employees, but firing a group of people with poor performance can have some stimulating effect.

Just as he was about to talk to Weatherby about this, the door of the office suddenly opened, and then a little golden head poked in.

“You’re being weird again.”

Seeing Sophia’s quirky look, David waved his hand to signal her to come in directly, but he vaguely felt that Sophia seemed to be different. Just as he

was about to think about it carefully, Sophia closed the office door casually, rushed to him in a few steps, threw herself into his arms, and flicked her lips with her tongue.

So enthusiastic? Did she decide which world to go to? Give yourself a taste of the sweetness before making a request?

There is no need for this, right? As long as Sophia opens her mouth, David will never refuse.

After being surprised for two seconds, David suddenly realized that something was wrong: the thing in his arms was not Sophia!
