Age of Empires From Scratch Chapter 402

  Chapter 402 Gotham Lord Batman

  Edkin and his partners are working hard for their own pensions, completely unaware that his profile has been placed in front of David.

   "Edkin Darvis, a bard, claims to be from a faraway place, good at communication, speech, intelligence gathering..."

  David looked at the information in front of him, and didn't list this bard who seemed to be planning something as a high-threat person.

  He knew that the bard and his team wanted to steal some property in Winterfell at most, they would never hurt others—before the red witch joined.

  After the red-robed witch joined this small team, something happened to Edkin and he was arrested and imprisoned for two years. After escaping, a series of things (plots) immediately followed, and he had no time to be a thief at that time.

  Edkin will focus on Winter City, which means that he has not experienced those things at this time. This is also in line with the law of visitors from other worlds, they all come to Winter City before the start of the plot.

   "Ferun Continent..."

  For that magical world, David has seven senses and six senses. His understanding of the world view of Dungeons and Dragons is limited to words. Various settings, rules, races, and professional characteristics are all unclear.

   "I don't know what the real world of Faerun is like?"

He is not going to expel Edkin. The bard is not bad in nature, and he knows that Edkin attaches great importance to his daughter. As long as he provides Edkin's daughter with a safe place to live, Edkin Kim works for himself.

   "When the time comes to send Edkin to the DC universe, I don't know how Diana will react when she sees him? It should be more interesting than when Bruce meets Maggie?"

   After such a long time, after Bruce had been in contact with Clark long enough, he finally made up his mind to visit Winter City.

  From the beginning, he was a bit vigilant, but now he has gradually learned enough about Winter City and David, Bruce really discovered the existence of Maggie.

At this time, Bruce suddenly understood why David had that expression when he invited him: the lord of Winter City did not have any malice towards him, and he did not arrange any traps for him. This duke who is definitely not an angel , I just want to watch the excitement.

   But even if he knew the truth, Bruce couldn't control himself.

  Recently, the number of times he went to Winter City has become more and more frequent. Every time he would come to this small coffee shop without a name, order a cup of coffee and then be in a daze...

  Because Bruce doesn't have any property in Winter City, and he doesn't work for the Duke of Glamorgan in Winter City, he is absolutely poor in Winter City.

  So every time he comes he calls out to Clark, and Clark pays for the coffee.

Occasionally, he would go to Glamorgan Castle to drink tea with David. After finding out David's character, Bruce gave up the original way of probing and chose a more direct way of communication: What's the problem? , directly ask David himself.

  For example, now, when he saw the bard named Edkin, who looked exactly like someone in Diana's photo, he knew what the Duke was thinking.

   "I don't think it's a good idea."

   "I didn't say it was a good idea."

  David was purely watching the fun, and it didn't feel like a big deal. Who made Diana look so displeased at him.

  Thinking of this, David suspected that Edkin's appearance was because he wanted to cause trouble for Diana in his heart? That's why this bard came to Winter City from the continent of Faerun?

  However, compared to this matter, David is more concerned about another point: with the development of Winter City, the appearance of visitors from other worlds is becoming more and more difficult to be discovered in the first place.

  When Sansa appeared, he happened to be out. If Medivh hadn't said hello, he wouldn't have known that Sansa was here.

  Clark wandered around Winter City by himself for a long time, but was just bumped into by David.

  When Rick came, he didn't even know that he was met by Laura and the others.

He didn't know when Edkin came this time. Fortunately, the intelligence department was still reliable. After noticing that someone was constantly collecting information and intelligence, he immediately put him on the watch list. With Shirley's report, Edkin became a key surveillance target, and it was only then that David realized that there were newcomers from another world.

  Thinking of this, David began to think, should he simply post a multilingual announcement in Winter City, so that visitors from other worlds can consciously go to a special place to register?

   It seems that it is not impossible? However, the current situation is still immature. David believes that this order will be easier to implement when the multi-function tools are fully implemented in Winter City and everyone uses the multi-function tools to store personal information and make payment transactions.

  Because newcomers from other worlds find that in Winter City, it is difficult to move without a multi-function tool, and even when it becomes particularly conspicuous, they will consciously register and receive a multi-function tool with personal information.

  Thinking of personal information enthronement: "What are you thinking about?" Throwing Edkin's information aside, David looked at Bruce Wayne in front of him.

  This Batman has been coming to Winter City more and more frequently recently, and he has to come here every day recently. He should have made a decision in his heart, right?

   "Join Winter City? Or join the Avengers?"

   "In your wisdom, it should make no difference."

  When Winter City began to open to Bruce Wayne, David never thought about continuing to use nonsense to fool him.

  Playing that trick in front of Batman is purely trickery!

"I think it's a little different." Bruce took a sip of tea, David's tea here is the best in Winter City, and he wanted to pack some back: "Joining the Avengers means that I only need to focus on my own world Just like the Martian Manhunter you invited earlier."

  The identity of the Martian Manhunter has long been exposed by David, even if he himself is very upset, there is nothing he can do about David.

  Bruce also learned from David and Clark that there is actually a Martian hidden in the top military. He was surprised but at the same time thought it seemed reasonable: no one stipulated that only one alien, Clark, could be hidden on the earth.

   "You are much stronger than him. With such a powerful ability, you should shoulder more responsibilities."

  David doesn't care much about Martian Manhunter in his heart. Although Martian Manhunter has strong physical fitness and various superpowers, his personality is too troublesome, and he won't give any response unless he is pushed to the extreme.

   What's even more painful is that when you think he's completely flat, he still has to get involved in everything, and then he won't end himself, always fooling others to push forward...

  So his solicitation of the Martian Manhunter was just casual talk, and he didn't even invite the Martian Manhunter to Winter City.

  Bruce looked at David in front of him, he was surprised that the other party had such a high opinion of him?

   "I'm just a normal human being."

   "You underestimate your abilities."

   "I'm almost fifty years old."

"so?"

"You don't want the person you worked so hard to recruit to die within a few years, right?" In Bruce's view, David's power is still in its infancy, and it's understandable that he wants to recruit more talents. But it should be aimed at those who are in the prime of life and who are young and middle-aged.

An old bat like myself that is almost immobile does not help David and Winter City much. After such a long period of observation, Batman knows that it is not just that David is not an 'angel'. white things.

   "It's only fifty years old, as long as you are willing, life has just begun."

  Bruce didn't answer the call, and took a few sips of tea quietly. The office became very quiet, only the sound of the collision of cups and saucers.

   After a long silence, Bruce didn't answer David's question directly, but raised a question instead.

"The law and order in Winter City is very good. If it weren't for the influx of outsiders recently, even theft and pickpockets would not be seen." Bruce yearned for Winter City very much, and he hadn't committed many crimes in a few months. Winter City is simply the city of his dreams: "Do you think Gotham can become like this?"

"Can."

"How to do it?"

   "It is up to you to be Lord of Gotham, with an armed force completely loyal to you, strictly enforcing every law."

  Bruce felt that David was joking, but he could only tell from David's face that the other party was serious, and it wasn't a joke to fool himself.

   "Do you think this will completely eliminate crime?"

"cannot."

  The crime rate in Winter City is low because the Brennians in Winter City are relatively uninformed and simple-minded. They are not like people in modern cities who face all kinds of temptations at any time.

  But even if Winter City develops to a more advanced level in the future, it will not be as chaotic as Gotham.

  After all, Gotham is notoriously disorderly, the legal provisions are not much better than toilet paper, the credibility is almost equal to zero, the cost of crime is so low that it can be ignored, and there are many natural crimes.

  Rinwinter City is different. The laws of Rinwinter City have been implemented perfectly so far, and Elizabeth's men have also shown sufficient deterrence.

With the credibility and deterrent power of the legal provisions, the people are willing or have to abide by the law. In addition, the residents of Winter City are currently living a stable and beautiful life, or are about to obtain a stable and beautiful life. go by yourself.

  The combination of various elements is the real reason for the good law and order in Winter City.

  Bruce wants to turn Gotham into the second Winter City, which is much more difficult than the new city that David built from the wilderness.

  Considering the intricate entanglements of interests within Gotham, the simplest and rude ending that David can think of is to carry out a big purge.

  David felt as if he had become a master ninja. Bruce Wayne wouldn't suddenly turn against him and blow up Fort Glamorgan, right?
