[Chapter 82 The Prophet David]

Addis was worried that David would go to the royal city to make a big news, but he could not do anything now. As time passed, the real winter came to Winter Village.

“The snow is too heavy. I thought I was in Siberia.” Laura stood in front of the window and looked at the snow outside. There was a lot of snow on the ground. The villagers of Winter Village had been hiding at home, but they found that the snow was falling all the time, so everyone was forced to go out and move around.

Shoveling snow, piling snow, clearing the snow in front of the door, and clearing the snow on the roof, everyone was busy, so as not to be trapped in the house by the snow, or collapse the roof.

Not only ordinary villagers, but even David had to go out of the house from time to time to clean the snow around his wooden house.

“I said before that the winter here in Winter Village is not easy.” Compared with the past, now there are wooden houses that can shelter from the wind and snow, enough firewood and coal, warm clothes and endless delicious food. No matter how big the snow is, it is just a change in life, not a disaster.

“I know, but I didn’t expect it to be so amazing.” Laura reached out and patted David’s increasingly strong back: “You actually survived two winters in this environment?”

“Yeah, now that I think about it, I find it unbelievable.”

The winter in Winter Village is not only cold, but also lasts long. However, the two winters she survived before were much shorter than this year – this year’s temperature dropped much earlier than in previous years, and the heavy snow came earlier.

“Maybe those two winters were a test for you.” Laura felt that David had gained some kind of recognition because of this, and that’s why he gained those magical abilities.

“Maybe!”

After taking a few sips of hot tea, David saw Leonard, Sheldon and others running wildly in the wind and snow, and then disappeared at the entrance of the village.

“…”

“What were they doing before?”

“It seems that they wanted to investigate whether the village could set up electric poles.”

“Electric poles?” Laura was very surprised. There was no power supply system in Winter Village, so why build electric poles? Unless… “Have they figured out how to use that crystal mine to power the village?”

“Yes.”

Since they figured out that the energy in the crystal mine can be used directly, Howard, Sheldon and others have completed a series of plans in the shortest possible time: including the Winter Village Power Plant, the Winter Village Power Line Network Sketch, the Winter Village Water Plant, the Winter Village Server Station and other infrastructure, all of which have been designed by these people.

As for the electric poles, they are only temporary, and they want to connect electricity to the village first.

Howard also often discusses with Van Cleef to determine how to better combine these networks with Van Cleef’s Winter City design drawings, and design a perfect city while ensuring that all functions are complete.

“There is electricity, running water, and it is a ‘retro’ style town. I suddenly have high expectations for the new city.” Laura was very curious. What kind of city will be built in the end? Is it the kind of city that looks medieval on the surface but is very modern inside? It seems pretty good. “It

shouldn’t be long before we can see the design drawings.”

The heavy snow blocked the door. Even if the wind and snow stopped completely, most people in the village could only stay at home to keep warm and wait for the end of the long winter.

But David and his group were very busy. Leonard, Howard, and Raj, who were dressed like the polar expedition team, had already made a complete route map based on the environment around Winter Village. As long as they built power plants, water plants, sewage treatment plants and other facilities according to this map, they could not only ensure the various needs of Winter Town, but also meet the needs of a city when it was expanded to Winter City.

Of course, this refers to the cities in this world, not the large cities on Earth with millions or tens of millions of people.

Van Cleef also completed a new design. Because he often communicated with Sheldon, his design this time included various routes to ensure that the various routes could be better laid and maintained, and would not affect the beauty of the city.

“According to my design, at least before exceeding this design range, there is no need to worry about the various water and electricity supplies in the city.” All kinds of lines and pipelines will be hidden, and only special “stations” will be left on the ground at fixed distances for easy inspection and repair.

In addition, the biggest change in the design is the castle where David will live. This two-story building with several stone pillars at the front and back doors is almost painted all white.

“Who designed this thing?”

Howard, Leonard and Raj all looked at the sky with squinting eyes, while Sheldon was very proud: “How is it? Isn’t it very good?”

“…”

Edwin Van Cleef didn’t know what this thing was. He just said that this kind of building structure is “simple” and has poor defense, but it is indeed very comfortable and more suitable for living and David’s personal office.

As for the office locations of other officials in Winter City, they can build a separate building in other locations of the fortress, but it will definitely not adopt the five-pointed star design mentioned by Sheldon.

David, who was secretly relieved, continued to listen to Van Cleef’s introduction. He felt that this design was already perfect and there was no need for improvement.

“Then, let’s start the preliminary work according to this design.”

“Immediately?”

“Everyone has been idle for a long time. Do we have to stay here? I remember you said that the winter here is very long. Do we have to wait for a few more months before we start working?” Van Cleef really couldn’t wait any longer. Besides, there was not much labor available at hand, so he needed to hurry up. “But

the weather is too cold now, right? And when the land is frozen, it’s impossible to start this kind of project, right?”

“Don’t underestimate us craftsmen. If we only compare strength, we are not much worse than those warriors and knights.” Edwin Van Cleef was very confident in the two hundred craftsmen under him: “Moreover, the initial work is to make various signs in the actual place, and at the same time start to make the building materials needed. After these tasks are completed, the coldest time may have passed.”

“Well, anyway, you will be responsible for these professional matters.”

“Leave it to me!”

Seeing Van Cleef’s look of wanting to do a big job, David knew that it was useless to persuade him, so he stopped stopping him.

Besides, the people in the village are really too free now. Although the winter in Winter Village is long and the climate is bad, it should not be difficult for these Azerothians. Maybe they will really give themselves a big surprise in a while.

Just after Van Cleef left, Fording, who had not been seen for a while, suddenly came over and winked at David.

David understood, put on his clothes and thick cloak, and went out of the cafeteria full of people with Fording, and came to the silver-clad outside.

“Which way are we going?”

“To the Winter River!” Fording was holding the warhammer that Will had made for him. It was a long-handled two-handed heavy hammer with a whole piece of blue-purple crystal ore as the hammer head. He was also wearing a set of armor, but it was covered by a heavy cloak, so David could only see part of it.

“The armor is very beautiful.” Although he couldn’t see the whole picture clearly, David still praised: “Varian gave it to me?”

“Yes.”

It has been several months since Van Cleef led the craftsmen of the Brotherhood to join Winter Village. Fording has already learned enough details about the chronicles and various games, and has officially started to implement his plan.

The first step is to help Stormwind Kingdom get rid of the influence of the black dragon princess Onyxia. Fording did not play any fancy tricks on this point. He directly revealed his identity and found the Archbishop of Light Benedictus in Stormwind City. The two of them then found Varian Wrynn together, and then launched a sneak attack on Onyxia, who was aliased as Katrana Prestor, in front of a group of important officials in Stormwind City.

With Fording’s strength, it is impossible for the black dragon princess to take the opponent’s sneak attack without revealing her identity.

As for Benedictus? No matter what his future will be, he is still the Archbishop of Light at this time. He could pretend not to know before, but after the black dragon princess revealed her true identity, he could only firmly shout “Holy Light protect me!” ‘, and then joined the crowd beating the black dragon.

Facing the siege of Fording, Benedictus, Varian, Bolvar, Windsor and countless elite soldiers of Stormwind, the black dragon princess Onyxia tried her best to escape Stormwind.

“Although Onyxia was not killed on the spot, Stormwind Kingdom finally got rid of the control of the black dragon.”

In return, Varian gave Fording a set of armor made of cast iron and many rare metals, and promised to lend a hand when the Kingdom of Lordaeron was in crisis – not only to repay Fording for exposing the black dragon’s conspiracy, but also to repay the Kingdom of Lordaeron for helping the Kingdom of Stormwind rebuild.

“Will the black dragon come back for revenge?”

“That’s Stormwind’s business.” Fording is not from Stormwind Kingdom. Is it not enough to help once? Why do you have to help all the time? If Stormwind is toyed with by the black dragon again and again, then they might as well perish as soon as possible: “I called you out to discuss this matter alone because someone wants to see you.”

“Huh?” David realized that he needed to ask Fording to avoid everyone and discuss this matter with him alone. The identity of this person was very sensitive: “Varian?”

“Yes.” Fording stopped and looked at the Winter River in front of him, which was blown more violently than usual by the wind: “When Varian asked me why I knew the black dragon’s conspiracy and that the Kingdom of Lordaeron was about to encounter a crisis, I had to use you as an excuse and said that I met a prophet in a magical place.”

“You really know how to make excuses!”

“Hahaha, in fact, to the people of Azeroth, you are indeed a prophet.”
