Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 8



[Chapter 8 Village Name]

After briefly introducing the effects of the spells he cast on Crawford, Crawford’s face was full of surprise and curiosity: he seemed to be a little impatient to try it out and see if this so-called holy light was really that magical?

Watching Crawford’s figure disappear again, David turned his head and looked at the old Buddha standing next to him: “I may not be able to rest tonight.”

The plot on Crawford’s side officially began. The next few days were continuous battles, which meant that Crawford might come to ask for help at any time.

“It doesn’t matter, I’m used to similar situations.” The old Buddha didn’t think it was a big deal: “Prepare more clean water and food, maybe some bandages and medicines.”

Clean water and food are easy to understand. Crawford must need to replenish food and water after a series of battles. But are medicines and bandages still needed? As long as Crawford can successfully walk to David and the old Buddha, no matter how many injuries he suffers, he can be healed by the holy light in a short time. After

thinking for a few seconds, David realized that the medicines and bandages were not prepared for Crawford, but for Crawford’s companions.

At present, whether coming to him or leaving and returning to the original world, there is no way to bring people. So even if Crawford’s companions are injured, they can’t come to David and Old Buddha for treatment, so they will naturally rely on medicine.

“I’ll take out all the medicines first, so that Crawford can take them away when he needs them.”

Old Buddha was going to the river to fetch more clean water, and by the way, he also mentioned that the village currently lacks an important facility: a well.

In this regard, David could only spread his hands helplessly: there are many facilities missing in his village. It can’t be said that there is nothing, but it can also be said that there is nothing! Including the well, all kinds of facilities are only on the schedule.

Put the bodies of several wolves in the warehouse first, and after simply processing the berries, David continued to make dinner with venison.

After throwing the venison, mushrooms and some berries into the pot and cooking, he turned back to deal with the bodies of the wolves.

When he finished his various things, Old Buddha had already run back and forth between the village and the river several times, filling all the utensils for storing clean water.

Then he lit a bonfire in the wooden house and watched David come into the house with a pot full of stew.

Eating stew, listening to Old Buddha continue to explain the knowledge of Holy Light, and waiting for Crawford who might come at any time, this night should be the most fulfilling night David has had in the past two years. In the past

two years, at first, he could chat with his partners at night and look forward to a better future; but as time went by, the living conditions became worse and worse, and there were fewer and fewer partners around him, and the few who stayed were no longer in the mood to chat.

Every night became the most difficult time, until David was left alone, and this difficulty reached its peak.

Unexpectedly, David waited for a turnaround at this time, not only ushered in new partners, but also mastered various magical abilities.

Especially the knowledge of Holy Light that he was learning at the moment, in his previous life he could only enjoy it in the game, but this time he could experience and exert this magical power in person.

“You have a high affinity with the Holy Light, a thorough understanding of the Holy Light, and are progressing very quickly.” After teaching for a while, the old Buddha once again lamented David’s talent. If David’s progress is always so fast, it won’t be long before he surpasses himself in the attainments of the Holy Light.

If this kind of words were said to the people in the world of Azeroth, most of them would not believe it. After all, the old Buddha was one of the original five paladins, and their attainments in the Holy Light had long been recognized by the intelligent life of the whole world. Even

such a powerful existence thought that David would soon surpass himself, which shows how amazing David’s talent is.

It was only the first day of learning the Holy Light, and David could already use this power very well. By the way, he also learned how to use the Holy Light to heal, eliminate plagues, use the Holy Light to protect himself or others, use the Holy Light to increase his own or others’ physical strength, use the Holy Light to attack directly, and so on.

“I learn very quickly?” David looked at the golden energy in his palm. Even though he knew that this was the power of the plug-in, he still couldn’t help but feel a little proud.

“This speed of progress is more than just fast.” The old Buddha sincerely praised David: “In fact, most priests who have just graduated may not understand the Holy Light as well as you.”

That is to say, in less than a day, David went from a layman in the Holy Light to a qualified novice priest.

“The rest is to practice unremittingly.” The old Buddha wanted to say something to tell David not to be too proud and become lax, but in the end he stopped talking. In addition to wanting to see David’s character, there was another reason because Crawford came: “The more you use it, the more you will understand it.”

David also turned his head to look at Crawford who opened the door and walked in. He could clearly feel that the Holy Light he had previously applied to Crawford had been consumed.

“It looks smooth.”

Apart from the consumption of Holy Light, Crawford had no damage on his body, not even much dust and dirt, and a smile on his face.

“Have you dealt with the bandits?”

“Although not completely, I have finally dealt with the crisis at hand.” Crawford put the hunting bow and quiver in his hand next to David: “This is the bow and arrow I borrowed from you just now.”

In addition to the bow and arrow placed next to David, Crawford also carried another bow and arrow on her back, a large bag in her other hand, and a pistol on her waist. Obviously, in addition to taking back the weapons that were previously robbed, she also got some extra spoils.

“This time I came here mainly to leave these things with you.”

Putting down the large bag in his hand, he explained to David what was inside: “This is a pistol, these are bullets… A pistol is a weapon that can fire this… This kind of bullet. You must not point the muzzle, right here, at yourself…”

“…”

David listened to Crawford talking about various precautions while putting on an “Oh~ How amazing!” look.

In comparison, the old Buddha next to him was much more “dedicated”. After understanding what it was through David’s translation, he exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: “Very exquisite musket!”

After saying all kinds of precautions, Crawford took enough ammunition and prepared to set off again. Before leaving, she still asked carefully: “Can you still use the spell you used before?”

“Of course.”

Hearing David’s answer, Crawford’s smile became brighter, and she felt more stable now.

After having personal experience, she realized that as long as she was protected by the holy light spell cast by David, she would be fearless!

After a simple sip of broth and drinking some water, she watched David raise his hand to release pieces of golden light, and then the light condensed on his body for a moment and gradually disappeared. Crawford, who was full of confidence, waved goodbye again and left with his head held high. Looking at

Crawford’s back, David casually mourned for the people of the Brotherhood of the Sun for two seconds in his heart, and then chatted with the old Buddha while fiddling with the guns that Crawford brought back.

There is a mysterious power on the island where Crawford was stranded, which will destroy planes and ships that intentionally or unintentionally enter the surrounding sea area, so there have been countless survivors stranded on the island for countless years.

These people have all kinds of identities, and there are many people or teams with weapons. In addition, the Japanese army also stationed troops on the island during World War II, so there is no shortage of firearms and ammunition on the island.

The bag that Crawford brought back only contained three pistols and bullets, but no rifles. After

tinkering with it for a few times and figuring out how to operate it, David couldn’t help but open his mind: I wonder if it is possible to attach holy light to the bullet when shooting? What effect will it have?

“You can try it after dawn tomorrow.”

As for now… Crawford just left, he shouldn’t come back immediately.

Sleep? He is very energetic now and can’t sleep at all!

Continue to learn the knowledge of holy light? Lao Fo just said that the next important thing is to practice diligently. It is probably because it is difficult to understand more advanced knowledge before I have more insights.

So what else can I do?

Suddenly I remembered the topic in the daytime, so I just brought it up for discussion.

“Old Buddha, what do you think is a good name for the village?”

Old Buddha, who was fiddling with a pistol, was stunned when he heard David’s question: “What should the village be called? It seems that you should decide, right?”

In Old Buddha’s eyes, this village is David’s territory, and the power of naming is naturally in David’s hands. Whatever David wants the village to be called, it will be called that: “And you have lived here for a while, you should have thought of a few names, right?”

Old Buddha guessed that David did not fail to come up with a name, but did not know which name to choose?

“I did think of a few names.”

David’s words made Old Buddha secretly say that it was true, and then asked what the names were? I can give David some suggestions for reference.

“Niujia Village.”

“It sounds a bit strange.”

David muttered secretly, ‘This is the center of the universe! ‘But after thinking carefully, I am afraid that such a domineering name cannot be used carelessly.

“Ivory Mountain.”

Lao Fo was stunned for a moment: “The nearest mountain is the peak in the north, right? If we use this name, the village is too far away from the mountain, right?”

“Muye Village.”

“This sounds good.”

“…”

Seeing David suddenly silent, Lao Fo looked strange: “What’s wrong? What’s wrong with this name?”

“I suddenly feel that this name is not very auspicious.” If he uses this name, will he die suddenly and not even have descendants?

Besides, David didn’t really want to use these names. He just said a few village names casually to make his thoughts active, and then come up with a suitable name according to the characteristics of this place.

“Located in the north…it’s cold and freezing…I suddenly thought of a more unlucky name.”
