[Chapter 64 Winter and Dragon]

Because of the symbolic significance of Holy Light in Azeroth at this time, Van Cleef attached more importance to this invitation, not to mention that the person who brought him here was the famous Tirion Fordring.

At the same time, he also had a question: “Is this the Kingdom of Lordaeron?”

He didn’t know what means Tirion used to bring him here from the Deadmines, but in his opinion, it was nothing more than the means cast by the mages. The power of magic is not so rare in Azeroth. There are some people (creatures) in the Defias Brotherhood who can cast some simple magic.

However, to be able to teleport to such a long distance without him noticing, he must be a very powerful spellcaster… Edwin Van Cleef looked at David in front of him again.

“No, this is not the Kingdom of Lordaeron, not even Azeroth.” David was not afraid that Edwin VanCleef would not understand. For the people of Azeroth, the other planes were not difficult to understand: “Just like the orcs came from another world, you are now in another world.”

“It turns out to be like this…”

VanCleef did not expect that he would run out “so far”, but this distance was not a bad thing for him. After all, there was no room for them to survive in Stormwind Kingdom. If they had not been forced into a desperate situation, they would not have raised the banner of rebellion.

He did not bother to figure out why the famous Tirion Fordring and the aliens came together. He was now constantly comparing the two options in his mind, trying to determine which one was better.

He followed Fordring out of Winter Village in silence, and VanCleef’s back gradually disappeared from David’s eyes.

Recalling VanCleef’s thoughtful look before he left, David felt that his plan had a high probability of success: his goal was to recruit as many people as possible, even if only one person came, it would be a success.

Now thinking about VanCleef’s various reactions, perhaps his gains would be much better than the best result he expected.

After standing by the river and thinking for a while, David took a look at the river to see if there was any food worth fighting for. Unfortunately, before he could find a suitable target, Fording came back.

“I think he is very likely to agree.” Fording had a smile on his face. His trip was not in vain. “But if the people from the Defias Brotherhood want to come to Winter Village, it may not be an easy thing.”

“It’s just a little troublesome at the beginning.”

Because David didn’t think that too many people would come at the beginning, he thought that it would be a good result to recruit a few craftsmen and bring their families to Winter Village. What

if all the craftsmen of the Stonemason Union want to come? Will I say that Winter Village can’t accept so many people? At that time, Van Cleef might turn against me, and then I won’t be able to accept half a person.

“It’s unlikely that everyone will choose to move to Winter Village.” Fording saw that David couldn’t hide the joy on his face, and appropriately poured some cold water on him: “Not everyone is willing to live away from their hometown, let alone go to another world.”

The difficulty of leaving one’s hometown has never been a unique characteristic of earthlings.

“For this kind of thing, we can only take it one step at a time.” If the top craftsmen of the Stonemasons Guild want to move, they will basically choose to come to Winter Village. Those who

are reluctant to leave their hometown are basically low-level craftsmen. Maybe they think that after Van Cleef gives up his opposition to Stormwind Kingdom and leaves Westfall, they can completely return to their ordinary identities and continue to live in their familiar hometowns – after all, they are not of high status, and the bigwigs in Stormwind City don’t know them at all.

These people would never think that even if Van Cleef leaves Westfall, the Defias Brotherhood will not die, because Onyxia hopes that these people will continue to harm Stormwind Kingdom. Those craftsmen who stay in the Brotherhood will either continue to work with the Brotherhood to the end, or leave Stormwind Kingdom, whether to come to Winter Village or go somewhere else.

“By the way, do you have any difficulty reading this chronicle?”

Van Cleef’s matter was temporarily put aside. Before the craftsman and assassin made a decision, it was meaningless for him to think more here.

David pointed to the book in Fording’s hand. It was the first volume of the chronicle that David asked Laura to buy. Fording had just read this book in the cabin. It started from the birth of the world of Azeroth.

“This book… It simply opened up a new world for me.” Fording looked at the book in his hand and did not doubt that it was something David made up casually, because it was meaningless for David to make up these things, and it would waste a lot of energy. If he had that much time, wouldn’t it be more useful to make up more “stories” about the fall of the Kingdom of Lordaeron?

“As long as you are satisfied, in addition to several chronicles, there are also several games installed in the laptop. You can play them when you have time… Oh, if you think it is too troublesome, you can ask Mark to teach you how to use the modifier.”

“Modifier?”

“Well, it can help you watch the plot better. After all, what you care about is what is going on, not whether the game is fun.”

“It seems that I have a lot to learn.” Fording didn’t care about this little trouble, because he not only had no important things to do in the next period of time, but also had to stay at the Death Mine and couldn’t leave casually-once Van Cleef agreed, he would be responsible for bringing those craftsmen to Winter Village.

“Indeed.” This was beyond David’s plan. He originally thought it was a one-time deal, but now it might become a long-term cooperation project: “It would be great if someone could have the same ability to travel as you.”

David thought he could give it a try. It was because of his “permission” that Will triggered the function of bringing other people here.

Who knows if there is a function that can give others the ability to travel freely between Winter Village and their original world? It’s just that he hasn’t figured out how to use it yet?

He walked towards his cabin with Fording. Fording wanted to take away the remaining books and the laptop with games installed on it – he had already learned how to use the laptop, and before today he mainly used it to watch movies.

On the way, Fording also asked about the situation in Winter Village and learned that Laura had transported a large number of arms. In addition, there were powerful warriors such as Peggy and Sharon stationed in the village, and David’s strength was greatly improved. He didn’t have to worry about the safety of the village. Fording decided to stay in the Deadmines for the rest of the time.

“I want to investigate the internal situation of the Defias Brotherhood.” David had only mentioned the Defias Brotherhood and Onyxia casually before, without giving too many details.

Now that Fording has obtained the “full set of strategies”, he plans to study and investigate while he studies, and by the way, see if he can solve the troubles of the Kingdom of Stormwind, so that he can help when the Kingdom of Lordaeron is in crisis next time. In the original history, the Kingdom of Stormwind was a mess caused by Onyxia, so it did not appear in the plot during the Third War (the plot period of Warcraft III).

“Be careful not to provoke that black dragon.”

“I’m not afraid of that black dragon.” Fording put the notebook, spare batteries, and several chronicles into his bag, waved to David and left.

David stood in front of the cabin, watching Fording’s firm steps, knowing that the paladin had found the direction to “work hard” again. He turned back into the Lord of Hearthglen, one of the strongest paladins in Azeroth.

“Is Onyxia going to be unlucky?” David touched his chin: “It would be great if I could see the black dragon in trouble with my own eyes…”

Thinking of the black dragon, David also remembered his former grudge: “Onyxia’s reins”.

David thought it would be great if he could catch Onyxia as a mount. After all, there is Winter Village, how can there not be dragons? He is not greedy, he doesn’t need three dragons, just one is enough.

“Thinking too much, it’s better to think about something realistic.”

Looking up at the position of the sun, it was not time for lunch yet, David wondered whether he should practice boxing, kicking, and spear, or practice bow and gun shooting? As a result, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him.

“Hey~ Finally here!”

Ever since he expelled the free version of Laura last time, he has been waiting for another newcomer to come, but he waited and waited for no one. He began to doubt the golden finger of this alien. There was no specific number of people at all, it was purely random. As a result, a newcomer came just when he was about to put this matter aside.

“It should be a newcomer, right?”

David looked back and saw that the little blacksmith Will seemed to be busy in the blacksmith shop; Steve came at a fixed time every day, and it was not that time yet; Laura didn’t sleep much last night and consumed a lot of physical energy. She should be catching up on sleep now; Mark was checking the crops with Squirtle in the farmland.

It was 90% certain that it was a newcomer. David was full of expectations. Although he didn’t know what to expect, he still hoped that a newcomer would surprise him.

As the figure gradually became clear, a short man with black curly hair, glasses, and casual clothes appeared in David’s sight with a shoulder bag on his back.

The man with glasses seemed to have not realized that he had traveled through time. He muttered to himself as he walked a few more steps forward. As a result, he sprained his knees because the dirt road was too muddy and slippery after a heavy rain, and almost fell to the ground in front of David.

“…”

The man with glasses looked down at his feet, then looked up at his surroundings with a look of surprise.

“How far have I walked?”

After a few seconds of hesitation, he finally noticed David not far away from him, so he came to David and said, “Hello, where is this place?”

“This is Winter Village.”

The man with glasses still had a face full of question marks, so he asked again, “How far is it from here to Pasadena?”

“Pasadena in Los Angeles?”

“Yes!”

“That’s quite far.”
