Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 118

  Chapter 118 Welcome to Cold Winter Town

  Maybe this kind of behavior will make David seem a little bit overbearing, but he has to do it.

Whether it is for the smooth development of Winter Town into Winter City in the future, or to meet His Majesty's expectations to a certain extent, so as to obtain more benefits, he must maximize the development potential of Winter Town as much as possible, and at the same time Compress the sphere of influence of other nobles in Iron Tree Fort.

   "By the way, follow me to the blacksmith shop." David remembered something, and ran to the blacksmith shop with the ceremonial officer and the guard knight, and found Will who was busy.

   "Will."

   "Good morning, David." Will put the work in his hands aside, it was just the daily maintenance of farm tools, and he was not in a hurry to finish: "Or should I call you Lord Baron?"

   "Just be casual." David said it to Will, and also to the two people behind him.

  Following David around the town of Cold Winter, the two of them, who were already quick-witted, have already realized who is special in this small town.

  Like Peggy Carter, Mark Watney, and Will Turner in front of them, they all obviously received special treatment from the Baron.

   How many people like this should there be? These people may be the basis for Lord Baron to maintain the rule of Cold Winter Town? Could he become a local nobleman in Cold Winter Town in the future?

  At the same time, these people also have common characteristics. They all have surnames, which seems to remind the two of them why these people are special.

"Is there any urgent work for me?" Will knew that David would not come to the blacksmith shop unless he was in a hurry. While waiting to eat, I casually told myself that I don't need to come here specially.

   "I need you to help me make some signs."

"brand?"

   "Yes, rectangular, big enough, with 'Welcome to Cold Winter Town' written on it." David roughly described what he wanted: "Oh, you can add the family crest of Glamorgan."

  Will quickly understood what David meant, which was a notice board: "This thing is not difficult to make, how many pieces should you make?"

   "One piece to the south, one piece to the east, and one piece to the north..." The west is the Winter River, so there is no need to make a special sign, but after thinking about it for a few seconds, David asked for another piece: "Make four pieces first."

"OK."

   Chatted with Will again, knowing that his relationship with Elizabeth was stable, and he was satisfied with his life in Cold Winter Town, so David left the blacksmith shop.

   "My lord, that sign is..."

   "That's right." David glanced at Floyd, and the knight reacted quickly: "Next, you and Gareth will be responsible for inserting these signs in the proper positions."

There is no signboard here in the Kingdom of Tilan to remind people of what village or town they are entering. The boundaries between villages have always been blurred. It often happens that this is the land of our village, the river The water in the village belongs to our village, and people in your village are not allowed to use it.

  The solution is generally to seek mediation from a higher-level official; or directly start a fight! Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say!

  The former is the most commonly used option for territorial conflicts between villages; the latter is a common solution for territorial disputes between nobles.

  Of course, a military solution between the nobles does not necessarily mean that both sides will pull up soldiers and horses to fight. In many cases, two nobles will send people to duel to determine the outcome.

   But no matter how it is resolved, the specific boundaries between territories have never been clearly defined.

The generally recognized boundary is based on the actual control area of ​​the territory, that is, wherever the buildings and farmland in your territory are covered, which piece of land belongs to you, and at most you will be given an extra point of extension, at most an additional 100 meters , no more.

  According to this practice, it would be unreasonable for David to send soldiers to drive people far away to prevent people from building villages on the wasteland.

  So, David decided to use this method: isn't it the place where the building is built? I'll put in a notice board, and then build a simple sentry post next to it, it's okay, right?

  The sentry post is also very simple. He didn't plan to build a pavilion or anything. He just got a piece of wood and placed it under the notice board.

  Anyway, the buildings in my Winter Town have been built here. According to the usual practice, you cannot build new villages and towns near my territory, otherwise you will be deemed to be invading my territory.

   Under normal circumstances, the nobles of Iron Tree Castle would definitely not pay attention to David's shameless behavior, but the key issue now is that Cold Winter Town is directly under the King's territory, and Baron Glamorgan directly pledges allegiance to His Majesty the King.

  The iron tree castle nobles can ignore David, but do they dare to offend the territory of His Majesty the King?

  David would like to know, do these nobles of Iron Tree Fort have the courage?

   "My lord, is the fourth sign prepared..."

   "That's right, it's going to be inserted in the northeast of Cold Winter Town." David still remembered that the Forrest family sent someone to frame him.

  He didn't plan to just let it go. Now that he has legal principles and strength, if he doesn't meet that Sean Forester, why don't he wait for him to disgust himself first?

After asking Will to help make the sign, David went to a carpenter from the former Masonry Union and told the carpenter his request: a wooden disc with a diameter of about one meter, on which the town of Cold Winter should be engraved. The northern sentry post; the northeast sentry post in Cold Winter Town, etc.

  The carpenter said that such a simple job can be completed soon, the mayor can rest assured!

  The task was properly arranged, and it was already noon. David took the people to the cafeteria for another meal, and then returned to his wooden house to learn aristocratic etiquette with Elias.

If it wasn't that David's cabin was not big enough, it might have attracted a large crowd of onlookers, but in the end only Laura managed to stay in the cabin, and even the guard knight Floyd gave etiquette lessons to David. When the time comes, they can only stand guard outside the wooden house.

   This treatment made the two close ministers realize one thing: they thought that Sharon was the other half of the baron, but now they seem to have guessed wrong!

  Since returning to Cold Winter Town, Sharon has not been in contact with David. On the contrary, this woman named Laura Crawford has shown a very close relationship with the baron.

And compared to Freud who could only stand guard outside the door, Elias also noticed another thing: this young woman named Laura seemed to come from a very extraordinary background, and that aristocratic temperament was beyond the reach of ordinary people' pretend' out.

   "What is going on in this cold winter town?"

Vaguely, he felt that he might have fallen into the vortex of some conspiracy, but Elias didn't dare to ask anything, he could only hold all kinds of questions in his heart, and only hoped that he could get through this time in peace. year time.

What makes him happiest now is that Baron David Glamorgan's learning of aristocratic etiquette is very smooth. According to Elias, the etiquette officer, Baron David Glamorgan has been able to do well in just one class. Cope with most social situations.

  The one-hour etiquette class ended soon, and David was going to practice archery, firearms, hand-to-hand combat and some cold weapon exercises next.

  Elias couldn't see anything in this regard, he was just curious about the kind of weapon called a firearm - he used ordinary ammunition during practice.

  David didn't deliberately shy away from the two of them. These two people are currently their own people and live in Cold Winter Town. They will find these things sooner or later.

   As for Elias returning to the capital in the future? By that time, the people in the capital should also know that there are "unique" weapons such as firearms in Cold Winter Town.

  At the shooting range, David saw Leon again.

   "Peggy should have explained everything clearly, right?"

   "Yes!" Leon nodded. After Peggy's guidance and his own inquiry, he now has a detailed enough understanding of Cold Winter Village.

  Compared to when I first came here, Lyon feels more magical now. At the same time, he also made up his mind to build a holiday house here: "However, it seems that your place is being remodeled, and it is not suitable for building a new house."

"If you just build a log cabin as a temporary residence, it's a very simple matter, and it can be built in a few days." David explained to Lyon: "If you want to build a large enough luxury villa, you must build it in a short time." No."

   It's not just a matter of building materials and manpower. The various sewage pipes, water pipes, wires, etc. in Cold Winter Town are still in the laying stage, and there is no suitable place for Lyon to build a luxury villa.

   "Let's build a log cabin first. As for what kind of vacation house to build in the future, we'll talk about it later." Lyon's words were an expression of his attitude to David, and he hoped to live in Cold Winter Town.

   "Welcome to Cold Winter Town." He shook hands with Leon again, but the meaning was completely different from before: "Trust me, this will be the most correct choice you made."

   "I think so too." Peggy led the tour for a long time, and chatted for so long, Leon has heard a lot about Winter Town, including the situation of Fording and Laura.

  The two of them used the magical place of Cold Winter Town to solve the troubles they encountered in their own world.

   Coincidentally, the world in Leon is not very peaceful. If I can live in Cold Winter Town, it means that when I encounter trouble in the future, I will have a strong guarantee.

  Not to mention anything else, just being able to go to Cold Winter Town to replenish weapons and ammunition when being chased by biochemical weapons is a great help to him.

   Moreover, after learning about the magical power of Holy Light, which has the ability to heal injuries, he thought of his partner who was seriously injured during a mission with him not long ago.

  If possible, he hopes to ask David to help treat his comrade's severely injured arm.

   Seeing a HP sorting test, I took the test.

   I was assigned to Gryffindor again...
