Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 113

  Chapter 113 The first day in Winter Town

   I packed up my things, washed up briefly, and then got into bed and had a good night's rest.

  It was obviously a very rough hut, and the bed was just a simple wooden bed made by myself who had never learned carpentry, but it made David sleep very peacefully.

   Opening his eyes again, it was already the next morning. The energetic David didn't stay in bed, but simply got up, stretched his waist, and simply moved his shoulders and neck.

  After getting dressed, he fetched water to wash up. When he changed his clothes and stood in front of his wooden house, there was only a little light in the distant sky, and the whole town of Cold Winter was still immersed in the darkness before dawn.

Even so, Lindong Town has become lively, and the villagers living here have been getting up one after another: countless people are fetching water at the public water intake point, and many people are washing in front of the newly built drainage faucet on the other side of the water intake point .

  David noticed that there were two street lights on the side of the water point and the faucet, and he didn't know who made it.

  The chimney of the cafeteria began to emit smoke, and the women who worked in the cafeteria were picking vegetables from the cellar.

   "It's so lively!"

"Yeah!" Peggy, who was walking around the village, saw David and said hello to him: "Get up so early? I thought you would take a good rest after traveling so long. Down."

"I went to bed early yesterday, and I slept soundly." David was in good spirits, and he definitely relaxed and rested for a night, which was much more effective than running around outside, thinking about this and that all day long. .

  In addition, I finally figured out the upgrade requirements of Goldfinger and determined the next goal, and there are many distracting thoughts in my heart, and I feel that my holy light has become stronger in a trance.

   "Good morning, Lord Baron." Not long after standing in front of the wooden house, Elias, his ceremonial officer, also got up, but judging from his state, the ceremonial officer did not have a good rest.

  After a long journey, in a new environment, and the future is not clear, Elias may not have slept much at all.

  The fact is also the same. In addition to the question that David thought of, Elias also worried about when Lord Baron Glamorgan will get up? As the ceremonial officer in charge of instructing Baron Glamorgan in various aristocratic etiquettes, it is impossible that Baron Glamorgan has already woken up, and he is still sleeping soundly in his room.

  So every once in a while, he would get up to check the situation. This time he saw that David had gotten up, put on his clothes immediately, and tidied up his appearance before appearing in front of Lord Baron Glamorgan.

   "Actually, you don't need to get up in such a hurry."

"No, this is my duty." Standing outside, stimulated by the somewhat cold air, Elias became much more energetic: "My lord baron, if possible, I would like to confirm your daily routine. journey."

"I don't have any fixed itinerary for the time being. If you're talking about those etiquette courses, they can be arranged after lunch." It's not suitable for strenuous exercise after eating. He usually practices bows and firearms at that time, and now he can bring them Take these lessons.

"Okay, Lord Baron." After Elias understood, he quietly stood aside, because David usually would not notice him, but when he thought of him, he could catch a glimpse of him from the corner of his eye. that state.

  At this time, the two guard knights also got up, and were preparing to arrange the soldiers for basic drills.

   But after seeing the Baron actually get up, Gareth Stanton exchanged a few words with Floyd, and Floyd walked straight towards David.

"grown ups."

  David nodded to Floyd and asked how was the rest? Is there anything wrong with it?

   "No, my lord, everyone is resting well."

  To be honest, when Floyd first saw the situation in Cold Winter Town, he felt that he would inevitably suffer some hardships before the construction site became a real town.

  The temperature here in Lindong Town is very low, living in such an empty big wooden house, I am afraid it will not be a good night.

   Unexpectedly, after they moved in, they lit up the fire in the way Eva introduced earlier, and after the so-called heating was turned on, not only did everyone not feel the cold, they even wondered if summer had arrived earlier?

Moreover, the quilts distributed to everyone in Cold Winter Town are very comfortable (Laura ordered them in batches), which are actually more comfortable and warm than the quilts that King Tilan can buy. This makes Freud seriously suspect that he used to Is it all **** bedding? Really good quilts can only be used by high-ranking nobles?

  If that's the case, why would Lindong Town distribute such good bedding to ordinary soldiers?

  Although there were many doubts in his mind, Freud slept soundly.

   Unlike Elias, he doesn't need to think about so many things, and his future has already been settled. The better the winter town is, the happier he is.

  Wait until I wake up, although it is still dark here in Winter Town, but I have already made an agreement with Gareth Stanton yesterday, and I need to get up early and start official work today.

  Train soldiers, investigate the surrounding environment, think about how to arrange sentries and other matters.

  Considering that they only have ten soldiers in their hands, it is difficult to arrange shifts. Maybe they should recruit recruits in the territory appropriately, and form the armed forces of Cold Winter Town as soon as possible, which is also showing their abilities to their new lord.

Surprisingly, Baron Glamorgan, a newly promoted nobleman, got up so early. The two of them had to discuss briefly, and Gareth Stanton would continue to be in charge of the training. After all, these soldiers were all recruited by him, and he was more willing to obey. his orders;

  Floyd is reporting to the baron, and is in charge of today's guard work—the personal guard knight, who already has the duty of guarding the lord.

  By the way, he also wanted to figure out the daily habits of the new lord.

I glanced at Elias, who was standing almost in the same position as myself, but he was standing behind David on the left, while Floyd was behind on the right. The two nodded to each other as greetings, and then they closed their mouths and pretended to be themselves. is a mute.

  After greeting Floyd, David knew that the personal guard knight was serving as a guard, so he didn't say anything, 'go about your own business! '.

  In the future, he will have to get used to this kind of daily life where there are always people around him.

   After chatting with Peggy for a few words, he noticed that Floyd behind him was very concerned about what Peggy said, and there was a bit of surprise on his face.

This is not surprising. From Peggy's report, it can be known that the defense of Cold Winter Town is currently in charge of this young woman named Peggy Carter. It is not that there are no female warriors in the Kingdom of Tilan, but there are very, very many of them. There are so few of them, I didn't expect there to be a female warrior here in Cold Winter Town.

  When Freud was surprised, Elias thought the same thing, and at the same time remembered Miss Eva McKenna who showed them around the whole town yesterday.

   At this time, the young woman named Eva also walked out of her hut and came to David: "Good morning! David."

"morning!"

  Elias, the ceremonial officer, wanted to remind the young Miss McKenna that she should be called Lord Baron Glamorgan, but he felt that it would be better to pretend to be a dummy now and discuss this matter later. Because he began to think, what is the relationship between this Eva McKenna and the baron?

  It is not only him who thinks about similar problems, but Freud next to him is also thinking about this problem.

From Sharon who I met before and accompanied Baron David Glamorgan to the capital; to Peggy Carter who was in charge of the defense of Cold Winter Town; Kenna.

   "Rinwinter Town, is the Baron the only man who manages affairs?"

Fortunately, the appearance of Edwin Van Cleef brought Floyd and Elias back to the right track. After seeing this strong craftsman leader, the two secretly breathed a sigh of relief: They were a little worried just now, if they are not women, will they not be taken seriously?

but…

  Floyd seriously looked at Van Cleef who was standing in front of him. He just arrived yesterday and saw many people at once, but he didn't observe everyone carefully at all.

  After a full rest today, he was full of energy and started guarding work. When he professionally looked at anyone who appeared in front of him, he found that this so-called craftsman leader gave himself a very dangerous feeling.

But when he took a closer look, he found that this man named Edwin Van Cleef was ordinary and unobtrusive. Not something wrong?

   When he wanted to take another look, Van Cleef had already left.

  Through the conversation just now, the people here know that Van Cleef is going to have breakfast, and then start a day's work: check the progress of the projects in various places and the construction quality of each area.

   "Let's go to breakfast too!"

  David looked around, and everyone who should get up has already got up, and the rest looks like some kind of pharmacist Cordell, who belongs to the person who can go to him if there is any need, and don't care about it when there is nothing to do.

  When everyone arrived at the cafeteria, it was full of people, and they were all strong and strong men.

"This time is the time for the craftsmen to eat breakfast. Generally, other people will wait for the craftsmen to finish eating before coming." Peggy wanted to remind David before, but when Van Cleef interrupted, she forgot to mention this again. thing.

   "That's it! Let's go to the farmland first and have breakfast when we come back."

  The baron's decision, whether it is Freud or Elias, will only be obeyed unconditionally, and naturally he will not raise objections.

But before walking out of the cafeteria, Freud deliberately looked at the guys in the cafeteria again, and secretly sighed in his heart: "These are all good seedlings who can be cultivated into elites! Where did your lord invite these craftsmen?" ?”
