[Chapter 89 A journey full of unknowns]

Black, rough-looking leather armor, and a heavy cloak that looks like it was made of animal fur. They look good, but they make people think they are rough clothes for country people.

The clothes David is wearing were specially made by Laura. They are more comfortable to wear than they look. They are said to be handmade by a costume designer who specializes in making costumes and props for commercial films.

“It looks good, but do you really want to cut your hair?”

Laura walked around David and felt that David’s current look was very consistent with the image of a wandering swordsman in the ancient European background. Although David did not have a sword on his waist, he was wearing a holster for the Holy Light Hunter and the Hammer of Judgment.

“I’m going out for a long time this time, and short hair is easier to wash and take care of.”

David’s hair has never been very long. In the past, the longest time it was only as long as his neck, and then he would cut it short with a few clicks – he didn’t care about whether it looked good or not before, it was just for convenience.

Later, as more and more people came to the village, Laura brought a lot of modern daily necessities, so he didn’t have to take care of his hair casually. This winter, he was busy with various things and didn’t take care of his hair much, so he grew long hair for the first time.

“I think you will look better with long hair.”

“Do you want to curl it?”

“It sounds like a good idea.”

In the impression of many people, Laura has always been a carefree female adventurer who doesn’t care about her image and is carefree. After all, she often travels in various poor mountains and bad waters, and camping in the wild is commonplace. In this case, it is impossible for her to dress herself up exquisitely.

But don’t forget that Laura Crawford is a woman after all, and a woman of noble birth. She doesn’t show that side of herself at ordinary times, just because she doesn’t need to, not because she doesn’t have the relevant skills.

As long as Laura is willing, she can transform herself into a real British aristocrat at any time, the kind that people can’t find any fault with.

The noblewoman seemed to have found a new toy, and just wanted to dress David up according to her own ideas: “Come, I’ll help you curl your hair, just sit still and don’t move.”

“…”

Seeing that Laura had spent most of the day with him practicing the secrets of Konoha Village’s physical skills, David gave up his insistence and let Laura play with his hair.

“I asked you before, who are you going to go out with this time?”

David was going to Iron Tree Castle, and might even go to the capital. He would definitely not go alone, and someone would accompany him to take care of each other. If something really happened, there would be someone to come back for help.

“I asked Steve before, but Steve said that there are a lot of things going on at SHIELD recently, and he can’t take a long vacation.” David asked Steve and Mark, but Steve couldn’t get away, and Mark, who had previously expressed his desire to see this world city, couldn’t leave the village because he had to go to the Mars base every day to keep in touch with the earth.

In addition, Steve had just mastered the mysterious power, and he needed to spend some time practicing well, so he simply stayed in the village and ensured the safety of the village.

Fording will stay in Azeroth more and more in the future, and Laura also has her own things to do, so he has few companions to choose from.

“Addis, Peggy, Sharon, it is likely that Sharon will go with me.”

Addis’s strength is not good, and although the old hunter is experienced, he is just an ordinary hunter and is not young anymore. So one of Sharon Rogers or Peggy Carter must go with him.

“Where is Eva? Don’t you take her with you?”

“Eva will stay in the village to coordinate all aspects and record what happened in the village when I was away.” Although Winter Town has not yet been officially recognized, Eva has already taken up the post as David’s secretary in advance.

After a period of learning and adaptation, Eva sorted out the various relationships in Winter Village, and recorded and sorted out various situations in Winter Village at any time, so that David could ask and inquire at any time. Although there is not much paperwork in Winter Village at present, it has been contracted by Eva.

“I see that you take this little secretary with you wherever you go now, and I thought you would take her with you this time.”

David did not respond, and he felt that no matter how he responded, it would be inappropriate.

As for why he didn’t bring Eva, because there were too many unknowns on this trip, he didn’t even plan to bring Addis, let alone a purely civilian like Eva.

“Will and Elizabeth have expressed interest, but Will said that Elizabeth seemed to have encountered some troubles and probably couldn’t make it.”

The two chatted, and Laura finally fixed David’s hair. David picked up the mirror beside him and looked at it. He felt that he should change his weapon to a long sword with a husky head on the end of the hilt.

“This is obviously an enhanced version of my appearance.”

David, who has grown another year older, feels that he has become more handsome than a year ago. He shamelessly took a long time to take a picture, and even Laura beside him was a little speechless before he put the mirror back.

Then the two walked around the village, talked to everyone who was currently in the village, and finally determined that Sharon Rogers would accompany David to Iron Tree Castle.

Peggy felt that it was safer for her to stay. After all, compared to Sharon, a young man with “no experience”, she was a veteran of World War II and had enough command experience.

At this time when Fording was away, Laura had things to deal with, and Steve could not stay permanently, Peggy was undoubtedly the most suitable one to stay in Winter Village and serve as the commander.

Eva would also stay in the village. She would assist Edwin Van Cleef in completing various construction tasks of Winter Town (Winter Fortress), especially responsible for the transmission of messages between Van Cleef and Laura to ensure that there would be no delays in the project.

As for the farmland, Mark helped to keep an eye on it, and the scientific team including Leonard continued their various research.

When David set off on the day, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village to see him off. Even Van Cleef came with his daughter Vanessa, and Anduin, who used the alias Hope, also stood at the edge of the crowd.

“Maybe when you come back, all kinds of engineering vehicles will have appeared in the village.”

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Mark also expressed his ambition: “Before you come back, I will definitely master a mysterious power!”

“I believe you can do it.”

Fording also came back specially. David asked about the situation in Azeroth: the Scourge has broken out, Arthas is investigating the truth everywhere in the territory of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and it is not far from the purification of Stratholme.

The curtain has been opened, and Fording is also making the final preparations. This time, he came to see David off, in fact, to say goodbye to other people in the village.

After today, Fording will not continue to live in Winter Village. At most, he will come back occasionally to take a look. Azeroth is his battlefield. “Have a good

trip!”

“I wish you all the best.”

Hugging Fording goodbye, David mounted his warhorse and rode away from Winter Village with Sharon who was already riding on the horse.

Warhorses are the top warhorses in Azeroth. They have strong load-bearing capacity and endurance, and their sprint speed is also very strong. While wearing armor, they can also carry knights wearing full-body heavy armor up mountains and down seas, and launch a charge after a long raid.

With such a strong mount, David and Sharon can carry enough things.

In addition to the leather armor they wore, which was made by Laura, the two brought replacement clothes, shoes and socks, as well as enough food and water to eat on the road; there were also various gifts specially prepared by Laura, which were convenient for David to use according to the situation.

The rest were basically weapons. In this regard, David maintained his usual tradition. On the surface, he still carried a hunting bow and quiver, and a Holy Light Hunter revolver on his waist, but the Hammer of Judgment replaced the hand axe that was commonly used before.

Sharon brought more weapons. In addition to the knight’s lance and shield specially made by Will using crystal ore powder, Sharon also brought two additional pistols and an assault rifle, but most of them were ordinary bullets, and only a small part of the powerful ammunition with crystal ore powder added.

In addition, there were flash bombs, incendiary bombs, fragmentation grenades, and several grenades.

“…”

David felt relieved for some reason as he listened to Sharon introduce the weapons and ammunition she carried while looking at the bag on the horse Sharon was riding.

“Did I bring too much?” Sharon noticed David’s gaze and thought that she had frightened him by bringing too much ammunition.

Unexpectedly, David gave an unexpected reply: “Not much. If it’s not inconvenient, I would rather drive the Weasel out.”

Sharon opened her mouth and found that she still didn’t know the village chief well enough. His pursuit of firepower seemed to have reached a pathological level: “Isn’t that too exaggerated?”

“Not exaggerated!” David waved his hand: “This kind of journey with an uncertain future, and I don’t even know when the enemy will pop up. I can’t wait to wear a mobile armor that can protect my whole body, equipped with a single-soldier nuclear bomb and a 30mm Vulcan machine gun.”

“How can there be such an exaggerated armor.” Sharon felt that the equipment described by David was too exaggerated, and she unconsciously completed the image of the armor in her mind, and then began to think about what she would look like wearing this kind of armor: “But think about it carefully, this thing is quite cool.”

“Is that so?” He always thought that the phrase ‘Men can’t refuse handsome mechas’ was not accurate enough, because women couldn’t refuse handsome mechas either. “In fact, Winter Village already has the foundation to manufacture mobile armors. Crystal ore, a mineral containing energy, solves the most troublesome problem, which is the energy supply of armors.” Sharon was

stunned when she heard this. Could it be that Winter Village had secretly started to manufacture mobile armors without her knowing?

“Could it be that Leonard and the others have already started to manufacture the kind of armors you mentioned?”
