[Chapter 77 Dig a hole and bury some soil]

Will’s discovery was an unexpected surprise. After David asked, he also learned that it was not difficult to mix crystal ore powder into weapons. Any blacksmith could do this job well. You

can even use existing weapons directly for “strengthening”, and the final effect is not much different from adding crystal ore powder during forging.

After David personally experienced the swift sword, shield, cross sword and other weapons made by Will, he wanted to give everyone a set of weapons mixed with crystal ore powder on the spot, but Mark said that the current amount of crystal ore is not much, and other tests need to be carried out, so just give priority to making a few pieces.

There is no real army in the village at present. David, Fording, Peggy, and Sharon are mainly responsible for fighting. Laura and Steve often go back to their own worlds, so sometimes they can’t take care of Winter Village: “So, I think we should prepare your weapons first, which will be enough for the time being.”

“That’s right, let’s do it!” David thought about it and decided to make a set of weapons for Sharon first. Peggy’s shield is already strong enough, so there is no need to add crystal ore powder, and her shield can’t be re-forged in Winter Village.

As for offensive weapons, how can guns be upgraded and strengthened with crystal ore powder? Can we use crystal ore powder mixed with metal to make warheads? In that case, it will not only be troublesome, but also consume a lot of energy. Winter Village does not have so many crystal ore to cause such trouble for the time being – there are only two crystal ore, and we have to study how to use the energy contained in it more efficiently.

“Maybe we don’t have to worry about not having enough crystal ore.”

David still remembers how these two crystal ore grew out of the soil. The spherical crystal that Mark couldn’t figure out what it was used for may be the key to growing this strange mineral.

In fact, Mark also had this guess, but he hadn’t had time to conduct an actual test.

“Where are you going to plant this thing?”

“Just plant it where it was originally. This should be the safest way.”

So, after visiting Will’s discovery and asking Will to help Sharon build a handy crystal weapon first, everyone moved to the back of David’s wooden house.

“It’s better to cover it up.” David looked at the land and wondered whether to build a small wooden shed or something? Just like hiding the Weasel Chariot, cover the crystal mine?

“What if… this kind of mineral needs solar energy to grow?” Mark raised a question, which made Leonard, David and others entangled.

“Then bury it in the soil first. After confirming that the crystal mine can grow, use a shed to cover it and see what happens.” David quickly gave a compromise plan. After listening to it, everyone felt that they couldn’t think of a more reliable way, so they did what David said.

David immediately waved a shovel and dug a one-meter-deep pit where the crystal mine was found before, then put the spherical crystal in it and buried it with soil.

Everyone watched David bury the minerals, and suddenly felt that this scene was strange.

“Can this thing really grow that kind of mineral?” Eva felt that these things were in great conflict with the worldview she had developed over the years. Even though she had experienced such a magical thing as traveling to another world, she still couldn’t understand why the minerals could be “grown”.

“I don’t know, let’s try it!” David was very confident in his golden finger. Although there was no manual or various explanations, he felt that his judgment was absolutely correct.

Everyone stood behind the wooden house, braving the wind and snow to look at the location where the spherical crystal was buried, and waited for a long time without seeing any reaction.

“…”

“Are we going to wait here forever?” Leonard was the first to lose patience. He usually lived in Los Angeles, where the temperature was comfortable all year round. The low temperature in Winter Village lasted for several months, and the surrounding area was still a plain without any shelter. The knife-like wind blew on his body and mixed with snowflakes to drill into the gaps in his clothes. The sour feeling almost made Leonard, whose body was not as good as that of an ordinary person, collapse: “I mean, we can stay in the warm house first and come back to check in a few hours.”

“Well, good idea, let’s go to the cafeteria!”

The cafeteria was large enough, and after David remembered the radiator, the cafeteria was equipped with the most radiators. In addition, there were also delicious foods made by Jonah. Now when people in Winter Village have nothing to do, they like to stay in the cafeteria.

Even if they don’t eat anything, sitting there and chatting is also a good choice.

A group of people poured into the cafeteria again. Looking at the lively environment inside, they already felt like entering a lively restaurant or tavern in the past.

Jonah stayed behind the bar, chatting with people. As the population of Winter Village increased, the cafeteria also added staff. Some craftsmen’s families would come to the cafeteria to help with the work, which saved Jonah from having to do all the cooking, reception, dishwashing and cleaning by himself.

Seeing David and his group coming in, everyone in the cafeteria greeted David.

The former stonemasons were very grateful to the village chief who provided them with a new life. At least after coming here for a while, no one said that they missed the time in the Brotherhood more.

Everyone found an empty table, and Jonah came over at the right time to entertain these people in person.

In fact, in the eyes of the villagers of Winter Village, the people around David were the high-level officials of Winter Village. The villagers were usually very respectful to these people. After all, whether it was the farmers that Maroni “sent” to David, the “serfs” sent by Elizabeth, or the people of the stonemasons’ union, they all lived in a world with a strict hierarchy. No one thought that it was wrong for David and his group to have privileges.

“What would you like to eat?” Jonah looked at the snow on the group of people and knew that they had been outside for a long time. “I personally recommend stew. It may help warm your bodies faster.”

“It’s just a stew.” David is not picky about food. If he was, he wouldn’t have lived in this world for so long. Since Jonah came to Winter Village, he no longer has to worry about what to eat. Just let Jonah decide. Jonah always gives him something new, and it tastes great.

“Wait a moment, the hot stew will be ready soon.” Jonah asked everyone if they had any additional needs, and then went to the kitchen to get busy.

David and the others were still cleaning the snow off their bodies at this time, and looked at Sheldon, who was half squatting, with his hands one in front and one behind, and walking around there lightly.

“Sheldon, what are you doing?” If Sheldon’s hands were both in front, he would be a large praying mantis.

“I’m trying to enter the layer between the world and the shadow space.” Sheldon didn’t even raise his head and continued to maintain the ‘stealth’ posture: “This is the method Edwin taught me.”

“Have you ever succeeded?”

Sheldon stood up straight with an unhappy look on his face, looked at the people at the table looking at him, and lowered his head helplessly: “No.”

“Then why don’t we eat something first, and then try again.” “

Oh no, my menu is fixed every day…”

He was interrupted by Leonard before he finished speaking: “Sheldon, we are not in Los Angeles now, and there are no restaurants on your menu here.”

“You’re right.” Sheldon nodded, then stared at Leonard: “Leonard, take me back for dinner.”

“No!” Leonard seemed to have anticipated the other party’s reaction, and rejected Sheldon neatly, and blocked Sheldon’s words before Sheldon opened his mouth to protest: “We are in Winter Village now, don’t you want to try the ‘special food’ of this world?”

“Special food… What special food can a civilization in the Middle Ages have? Boiled meat? Roasted meat? And there is no seasoning, maybe it also carries special viruses from another world.” Sheldon muttered for a long time, and finally thought it would be better to go back and eat: “Leonard, take me back.”

“…”

Leonard felt a headache, and while trying to persuade Sheldon, David was talking to Fording about another thing.

“The thing you asked me to help find someone to identify some time ago has been identified.” Fording left the Deadmines after sending the 400 people of the Defias Brotherhood to Winter Village, and then returned to Winter Village to rest for a while.

He wanted to take advantage of this time to read all the chronicles and “clear” all the games that he had not finished.

However, David found him and hoped that he could help find someone to identify something – the metal piece found on the assassin.

This job is not particularly urgent. Fording can go to Azeroth when he is free. David also instructed that whether this thing can be identified or not, it does not need to be brought back, and it can be directly destroyed in the world of Azeroth.

After a while, David was about to forget about it, but Fording suddenly said that there was a result: “I wanted to tell you directly before, but Laura said that Will had made a discovery, and everyone wanted to see Will’s new discovery. She said she would call you over…”

“Oh~” David nodded. This matter was not urgent. It was no big deal to be late for half a day or a day. He was more curious about the identification result: “Is there anything special about that thing?”

“Nothing special. It contains very little energy and has only one function.” “

What function?”

“A kind of identification.” Fording paused and added: “Because there is no correct identification method, only so much can be seen.”

“I see.” David nodded, and thought of another point: “Does this mean that this assassin is organized?”

“Yes, otherwise there would be no need to use this method.”

From what organization? Is it a so-called temple? David thought for a while and found that the information he had was still too little to make an accurate judgment.

“We have to collect all kinds of information about this temple.”
