When David left, there was still thick snow on the northern plains. It was obviously spring, but this land seemed to be still in the winter season.
When I came back, the snow had disappeared, and green appeared on the vast land. The breeze that blew over my face from time to time no longer cut like a knife, but was just a little cold, which made me take off my cloak on the road.
Everyone put their thick cloaks back on their bodies again.
"This is Winter Town!" Floyd looked at the village that gradually appeared in his eyes, his eyes full of curiosity.
Is this small village composed of many wooden houses his future?
His eyes shifted to the huge 'construction site', where countless craftsmen were busy. He could guess that the area under construction was the real Winter Town.
"It looks like it's still worth looking forward to."
The scope of the construction site is very large, with various ravines and channels crisscrossing it. The complexity makes everyone, including Floyd, a bit confused.
"It seems like they are building drainage channels?"
The few people who were going to live in Winter Town were looking at their new home carefully, while the people from Earl Stewart's family and the Kingdom's Guards Cavalry who made a temporary trip were simply disgusted.
What kind of future does such a remote, empty country place have?
Regardless of whether David can successfully upgrade Winter Village to Winter Town this time, everyone will still have to live in the existing houses for a while. Because the construction of Winter Fortress does not happen overnight, the construction of Winter Fortress in Winter Town
Well, if new people or villagers come, there must be a place to stay, right?
He didn't wait long. Several people currently staying in Winter Town quickly gathered together to listen to David talk about his experience and gains in going to the royal capital...
"It's Lord Glamorgan... This title sounds quite good, and it feels a bit familiar." Mark thought about it, but he didn't expect where he had heard the word Glamorgan.
Although she sometimes looks silly, Eva is actually very smart and capable. She leads everyone towards the big wooden house, preparing to waste more time there.
For these common people who have rarely left the villages and towns where they were born for almost their entire lives, they only see so much and hear very little on a daily basis, and there are very few things they can talk about.
More and more people began to inquire about the news about Winter Town. After the various information about Winter Town and Baron Glamorgan gradually became a household name in the Kingdom of Tiland, it also began to spread slowly to other parts of the Kingdom of Tiland...
In addition to discussing the lucky Baron David Glamorgan, some people also seriously discussed with their friends whether they should go to Winter Town to look for opportunities?
"It was a newly established town, maybe there was nothing there."
"Winter Town?"
After a few friendly words, the other party put away all the gifts they were responsible for transporting, and then watched the other party leave.
At the same time, countless people in various towns in the northern part of the Tilan Kingdom saw the latest announcement posted by officials.
The people sent by Earl Stewart can't be so rude. My master is very polite to Baron Glamorgan. How could the people sent not know this?
In addition to the large wooden house, there are also two separate small wooden houses, which were prepared in advance.
"The young man named David was made a baron by His Majesty the King because he successfully established a new town, and was given a surname by His Majesty the King himself."
While Floyd, Gareth, Cordell, Elias and others were looking around, the knights of the guard and those who helped transport the gifts were already preparing to leave.
The duty of the Knights of the Guard is to escort Baron Glamorgan back to his territory smoothly. Now that their task has been completed, they don't even need to ask David for permission and can leave at any time.
After swearing allegiance to David, he went to the Tyran Knights to go through various procedures, and then caught up with David's team as quickly as possible.
"Maybe it's because there are more people? And it's a new border anyway, so it seems more important to build towns?"
Everyone was very interested in hearing such big news this time.
In the eyes of some old people, or people with stable lives, new towns like Winter Town are full of too many uncertainties; but in the eyes of people with nothing, or some young people who are unwilling to stick to the rules, Winter Town is full of uncertainty.
Chance.
“Isn’t the pioneering order establishing villages?”
Freud could feel the attention of everyone, but he didn't care: he had made his choice and there was no room for regret.
"It is said to be the newest frontier of the kingdom. It is a new town established by a young man through the pioneering order."
Laura happens to be here, and she has a very rich knowledge, not to mention her 'hometown': "Glamorgan is an old place name in Wales, located in the area of Cardiff and Swansea; in addition, the current
The University of South Wales was formed from the merger of the University of Glamorgan and the University of Wales, Newport."
"You really don't want to stay and rest for the night?"
Farmers without their own fields, craftsmen with some skills, and even some young people who felt they had some strength but nothing else began to seriously consider whether to go to the new town of Cold Winter Town to look for opportunities.
Because Floyd swore allegiance to the new lord, he could retain his status as a member of the Knights of Tiran, but only in name only and would not hold any position or receive half a salary.
"You can continue to work for Lord Fitz. Lord Fitz is still very generous."
"Eva, these are all new people who have joined Winter Town. You show them around and settle them down."
Become a farmer, a shop owner, or even a soldier, no matter what it is, as long as it can be better than what they are now, they are willing to try it.
"Maybe...but I still want to give it a try..."
Called Eva who was already waiting nearby: "This is Eva McKenna. She has helped me handle affairs in the territory before. You can ask her about matters in the village."
It was obvious that this was a residence built in advance by several partners in anticipation that David would bring some people back.
On the entire way back, David's team passed through towns including Wangbei Town, Tielshu Fort, Snowfield Fort, etc., but they did not stop at any of them, nor did they communicate with anyone. They just rushed all the way to Winter Town, and finally arrived today.
destination.
He did not indulge in the joy of returning home alone. As a lord, he had to at least arrange his subordinates properly first.
"Nothing means a lot of opportunities."
"What a lucky guy..."
Looking at the familiar wooden houses, familiar streets and familiar people, David took a deep breath: "The air here is better!"
He could only politely tell Baron David that they needed to go back to the Earl as soon as possible, and the Baron's territory was simply a big construction site, and there was no place for them to stay overnight, right?
In fact, there was still a place to live. When David came back, he discovered that there was an additional large wooden house next to the large wooden house that was specially built to accommodate the craftsmen of the Masons' Union.
As a result, the news gradually spread from the town to the surrounding villages, and more and more people knew about the new town of Winter Town and the new nobleman Baron David Glamorgan.
Several of them glanced at Floyd secretly, feeling that this former teaching knight of the Tiran Knights had really made the worst choice in their lives.
"I don't think it's good. It's better to stay here and continue farming."
All kinds of discussions can be seen everywhere in the major towns in the northern part of the kingdom. From the beginning, they were just discussed next to the announcement, and slowly became the latest topic of conversation for countless people.
Eva looked at these people and understood that David wanted her to take this group of people around. At the same time, she also pushed the newcomers away so that David could buy time to explain the current situation to his friends.
situation.
Therefore, there are actually enough houses in Winter Town to accommodate these people for one night, but since the other party is so resistant, David will not force him to stay.
"Maybe you're right, but I don't have my own land."
Therefore, noble status is not that rare in Winter Town, but it does not prevent everyone from using it to joke with David.
"So, you are now a baron?" After listening to David's story, everyone, including Mark, looked at David curiously.
Looking at this direction, they should be heading to Snowfield Castle to rest there.
After Eva led a group of people to the big wooden house, everyone who was informed by Sharon came to David one after another. Mark even sat at the long table, waiting for everyone to gather and listen to David's story.
Time has passed.
"Don't look at me with such strange eyes. Is a baron something strange? There is also an earl sitting here!" David pointed to Laura next to him and dragged Laura who was watching the theater down.
Water. (P.S: Lara Croft’s family is a hereditary earl setting, which only exists in the Xunma trilogy. In other generations, including the new trilogy, the specific title of the Crawford family has not been clearly stated.
, this setting is used in this book)
In addition to Laura, Fording is also the great lord of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and his status is many levels higher than that of David, a small country noble.
Mark said "Oh~", then looked at David, then at Laura: "What an interesting coincidence."
Everyone present knew that the surname Glamorgan was a new surname coined by His Majesty the King after flipping through a dictionary. They did not expect it to be related to Laura's hometown. This unexpected situation made everyone find it very interesting.
.
When everyone was almost chatting, Eva came back with many newcomers who had settled in. The time card was very accurate. What followed was a scene where a group of people introduced each other to each other. As a lord, David did not have to introduce these people to each other in person.
You can do your own thing.
For example, Edwin Van Cleef, who stood aside and signaled to him, then stood next to him, whispered: "Observe these people carefully."
