Chapter 2 A Passing Laura

Chapter 2 A passing Laura

"Do you know English?"

"It seems like it happened all of a sudden..." David was also puzzled. He tried to think about it and found that he could use English knowledge easily, just like when he thought in his native language.

This is by no means the level of English I once had, but more like a sudden acquisition of English knowledge.

It seemed incredible, but as a time traveler, David didn't think it was strange. Having experienced all kinds of brain bombing in his previous life, he immediately understood what was going on: the golden finger had arrived!

Looking at Laura who suddenly appeared in front of him, he already had some guesses about what happened to his golden finger.

Although Goldfinger came a little late and made him wait for so many years, it was better than never!

But, why did it appear at this time? Have you had any major changes recently?

Did he wait until he was eighteen years old to start it? David joined the development team at the age of sixteen and stayed in this remote place for two years. He happens to be eighteen this year.

In addition, the biggest change is his status - from an ordinary person to a village chief.

Considering the sudden appearance of Laura and the 'British English' ability that he should have acquired from Laura, he leaned towards the latter possibility.

Time travel! Although someone else traveled through time to find him, this is not unusual.

In his previous life, he had also imagined that opening shops, hotels, and clinics would attract all kinds of time travellers. Now that he has become the village chief, it is not unusual for time travelers to appear in his territory.

The place they were in at this time was the plain area further north than the Iron Tree Fort, the important northern town of the Tilan Kingdom. Because of the obstruction of the Tilan Mountains and the elves living in the Iron Tree Forest, who had a very poor relationship with the humans of the Tilan Kingdom, the Tilan Kingdom had always been

It was not possible to occupy this vast plain area until the pioneering team formed two years ago came here.

It was only then that she had the time to focus on other issues: Where is this place? How did she get here? How did she get to join her friends?

When she just talked with David, she carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Except for the wooden house used as a warehouse and kitchen, the other three wooden houses have the same structure and layout: a large room with a place to light a fire in the middle and simple beds placed around the fire. David had been there for the previous two years.

Spending the winter in such a crude environment.

"Although it sounds incredible, what I said is true." David could only use a serious expression to emphasize that he was not lying.

David is the newly established camp here. It is one of the three pioneer camps that want to reclaim this land. If everything goes well, it should develop into a new village and incorporate this land into the territory of the Kingdom of Tilan.

"Iron Tree Forest is located northwest of Iron Tree Fort, which is the most important town in the north of Tilan Kingdom."

"Thank you!" Looking at the bowl of fragrant broth in her hand, Laura sincerely thanked David: "Thank you for meeting you."

"No, I just finished eating before you came." David explained: "I was lucky and hunted a deer during the day."

Laura, who quickly finished the bowl of broth, noticed that David next to her was just watching her, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Aren't you going to eat?"

This is normal. Anyone who hears the other party saying "it will happen suddenly" will not immediately believe it. Moreover, Laura has just experienced a shipwreck, was knocked unconscious, kidnapped and hung in a cave. She will definitely be wary of strangers.

After asking, she remembered what David had introduced about the situation in the camp: David was alone and supplies were scarce: "Is there not enough food?"

It's not difficult to judge whether your guess is correct. Just see if a 'familiar person' appears suddenly.

What's more, Laura herself is a beautiful woman with good looks and a perfect figure - why wouldn't normal people not want to look at beautiful women?

Laura, who was full of worry, didn't notice that David cooked broth for Laura's dinner during her silence. She didn't come back to her senses until the steaming broth was handed to her.

After solving all kinds of doubts, Laura felt her head hurt slightly: Can she still go back? Although this world is magical and fills her with the interest of adventure.

After describing the strange state in which Laura appeared, Laura now understood why David acted so calmly, because the other party did not regard her as an 'ordinary person' in the first place.

She asked some more about the customs and customs, and learned about some of the cultural customs of this world. She also learned that there were mysterious powers and races in this world that were like those in fantasy stories, and she slightly accepted that she had really come to another world.

fact.

The forests in the north are another reason. They can provide a large amount of high-quality wood. In addition, the terrain is flat, with basically plains in both directions to the east and south, making it very suitable for cultivating farmland.

With this thought in his mind, David looked at Laura again, whose face was full of doubt.

The main reason why I chose this place as the camp was because it is the turning point and confluence of the river. There is enough fresh water here, and there are also a lot of fish, shrimp and other aquatic products in the river.

David looked at Laura, who was full of doubts, and continued to tell her what he knew: the Kingdom of Tilan is a human kingdom located in the north of the mainland.

But now is not a good time to take risks. She is very worried about her partners. They have just encountered a shipwreck. She doesn't know what is going on with everyone at the moment? Can they escape the disaster safely?

Laura felt very helpless after hearing David's answer. It seemed that she had to think in another direction.

The river flows from north to south, and then turns westward on the west side of their village. At the same time, there is another river that flows from south to north and is much narrower.

"..." Laura opened her mouth and had no idea how to describe the current situation. She was silent for a long time, until the hunger in her belly brought her back to her senses: "This is really... unbelievable."

At this moment, Laura suddenly thought of another question: "Don't these questions I ask make you feel strange?"

"That's good." After making sure that she didn't eat up the other party's small food reserves, Laura's worries were relieved a little, and then she asked about the environment around the village.

"You are welcome."

David guessed Laura's thoughts, but he did not tell the other party that the so-called mysterious power was probably himself. Instead, he introduced the surrounding environment straightforwardly: To the west of the village is a huge and vast river, and its source should be able to

The mountain peak to the north can be vaguely seen.

"Iron Tree Castle? The Kingdom of Tilan? Where is the Kingdom of Tilan?"

"So that's it."

"How is this possible?"

She wanted to confirm if there was anything special near this village, otherwise why would she suddenly come here? Maybe if she found the source of that mysterious power, she could go back.

As David told the story, the number of questions on Laura's head continued to increase, almost as if she was going to be completely submerged, but she still resisted and did not interrupt David's story until David finished telling the general situation.

He finished: "You were actually telling a story just now, right?"

Listening to David's description, Laura could not hear anything magical or special: "Have you not encountered anything special in the past two years?"

"???"

No matter how you look at it, this is a good choice. What I didn't expect was that the subsequent progress was far from expected.

David replied to Laura with a bright smile. He was in a good mood now. After all, Laura's appearance meant that he had a golden finger and the motivation to continue working hard in this place.

No matter how you look at it, this place is a plain. How did she get here from the mountains in the blink of an eye? There were also huge changes in climate, which made her very puzzled.

"Have a good night's rest! Even if you want to do something, you have to wait until dawn tomorrow." While they were chatting, the sky had turned dark, and David needed to prepare for the coming night.

After taking care of the wound, Laura felt much better. Although she was still a little weak, she was no longer as uncomfortable as before.

"Hello, David, I am Laura Crawford. I am an archaeologist. I was separated from my friends in a shipwreck and accidentally came here." Laura thought this was a very common place name. As for the northern plains, it was more

Common question: "Where is the Iron Tree Forest?"

"No." David spread his hands and put on a serious face, indicating that he was telling the truth.

"This is a pioneer camp located in the northwest of the northern plains of the Ironwood Forest. I am David, the village chief here."

"No." It took such a long time for David to think of the right words: "The way you appeared made me realize that your origin would be very special."

"In this case, I, the village chief, have to keep on working!"

Laura looked at David seriously, and was finally impressed by David's aura of justice, and decided to believe his lies: "Okay...then, can you tell me where this is? And who are you?"

people?"

If David's description is true, it means that Laura came to another world in a daze. Although David's description is very rough, the distance traveled by the pioneer team after leaving Iron Tree Fort can be seen in David's words.

I learned that there is absolutely no way this is some small island.

"The most special thing is your presence."

According to the plan of the pioneers, this kind of simple wooden house was only a temporary residence, but it was never possible to cultivate farmland, so everyone was not in the mood to build their own wooden house. As a result, there are only a few temporary wooden houses here.

This kind of wooden house has poor thermal insulation. If you want to spend the night safely, you need to light a fire. David now needs to move the needed firewood into it.

Laura was also helping, but when the two of them were carrying firewood, they noticed a vague shadow appearing in the open space not far outside the village almost at the same time.

"Is this...another one coming?"
