David's method is very straightforward, does not need to consider all kinds of messy circumstances, and does not conflict with what he wants to do next.
You only need to develop step by step to find out who your enemy is.
"Whoever stops you from upgrading Winter Village to Winter Town is your biggest enemy." Mark turned his head and looked at David. This method seems to have no problem, but it is difficult to really detect the enemy: "Forrest
The family seems to be very powerful in Iron Tree Fort."
"If it were just the Forrester family, then the application to upgrade Cold Winter Village to Cold Winter Town would not be rejected, and other families would not just watch the Forrester family continue to grow." Only the Forrester family,
Not enough for David's application to be rejected.
"If many nobles join forces to resist, wouldn't it be impossible to upgrade the village?" Mark looked at David. He had long wanted to ask David what plans he had for his village and his own future.
?Do you simply want to be a small lord on the remote border of the Kingdom of Tilan? Is there any more grandiose plan?
He didn't think that people like David would always keep him in the lower reaches of the aristocratic class. This conclusion could be drawn from David's previous unwillingness to be an ordinary civilian.
So the question is, where does David want to be in order to be satisfied? A great lord? A separate kingdom? Or to become a king in the true sense?
Perhaps, through this 'crisis', Mark can get an accurate answer.
"If the situation in Iron Tree Fort is really so bad, then I will have no choice but to go to Tilan, the royal capital."
If it really comes to that point, David can only choose to serve His Majesty the current king - because the king and the nobles of the royal capital do not have any direct contact with Winter Village, David thinks that they will not care about the upgrade application of a remote small village.
, as long as everything is carried out according to formal procedures, even the most stringent review is more reliable than the iron tree fortress where "everyone is the enemy".
"Does this mean that you are loyal to His Majesty the King?"
"..."
Mark and Laura did not go away. They sat at the table and looked at David. When there were only three people and one turtle left, Mark finally asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "David."
Even so, it is not easy to achieve what David said.
"Have you ever thought about doing something in this world?" Mark raised his eyebrows as he spoke, with a 'knowing' expression: "You are not satisfied with just being an ordinary lord, are you?"
"It's much more advanced than that." This was not a sarcastic statement. David really didn't think those two cities were that advanced. What's more, his ultimate goal was far beyond the level of the earth's civilization where he lived in his previous life: "Be able to colonize extraterrestrials.
extent."
"Even if there is no other choice, relying only on the Holy Light can greatly extend your life span."
"It's Tirion who's back!"
People from ordinary earth civilizations like himself and Laura can help David's village achieve huge facility upgrades. If a few newcomers who live in a higher civilization world come, it is not impossible to achieve leapfrog development.
David watched the reactions of these two people dumbfounded. In his previous life, he had always seen the protagonists in various film and television themes who looked down on longevity and immortality. But in fact, human beings' pursuit of immortality has run through the entire history of human civilization.
There are many related legends and stories, and there are endless actual examples.
In this case, David actually dreamed of "breaking out of the earth and heading into space!" Mark suspected that David was joking with him.
Mark next to him had an even more exaggerated reaction and immediately grabbed David's arm: "I think my body can hold more Holy Light, how about you pour more into it?"
Or a druid who studies the ways of nature? A shaman who communicates with the spirits of the elements? After all, Mark is a botanist, and his major may be more compatible with these two professions.
"When I hear you say that, I won't be anxious." What Mark is thinking now is that when he returns to Earth, he may have to slowly move his family to Winter Village. He really can't resist learning all kinds of things.
The temptation of mysterious knowledge. Considering that his life span may be greatly increased, he must make some preparations in advance to avoid being caught and sectioned for research.
Everyone dispersed and continued to do their own things. Steve was going to build a new wooden house with Peggy and Sharon to prepare for the many craftsmen who might arrive.
"Isn't it too far away?" Mark originally thought that it would be a very grand ideal for David to establish a civilized country in this world that was more advanced than the backward countries on the continent. However, it turned out that David's goal was even greater than he thought.
Yaoyuan: "Even if it were really possible, I don't know how many years it would take."
"Originally, I was loyal to His Majesty the King." David didn't care about this kind of thing. If he even had to make a choice, it would be much better to choose to be loyal to the King than to be loyal to the nobles of Iron Tree Fort. At least His Majesty the King is far enough away, and His Majesty the King is generally
If he doesn't have the time or energy to manage a small, remote territory, he can gain the greatest degree of freedom.
Considering Mark's status as a scientist, maybe he is more suitable to be a mage who studies arcane energy?
Turalyon lived for a thousand years with the power of the Holy Light. As long as David steadily improves the Holy Light, even if he has no other choice, his lifespan will not be the same as that of ordinary people, and it will be difficult for him to live more than a hundred years.
"Life span?" David didn't think this was a problem: "I haven't worried about this problem."
"Um?"
If you are loyal to the nobles of Iron Tree Castle who are just around the corner, you will encounter all kinds of troubles.
Now that there is a follow-up action plan, everyone will no longer discuss this matter. Whether David's plan succeeds or fails, we will not know until it is done.
But he wanted to refute? He found that he seemed unable to refute. The smart Mark immediately thought of the key to the matter: the development speed of David's village has nothing to do with the stage of civilization the world is in. It mainly depends on
Which world's new residents will appear in David's village?
"Does this mean that I can live for a long time?" Although Laura has searched for relevant information, she has not studied these details. She initially learned and used Holy Light out of curiosity about the mysterious power. She did not expect that
There was an unexpected surprise.
"Maybe you are really not suitable for the Holy Light? How about I ask Fording to collect some other knowledge, and there will always be one suitable for you." Azeroth has many kinds of mysterious powers, and many professions that use mysterious powers have been derived.
, even if Mark can't be a priest or a paladin, he can still try other paths.
Right now, what they have to do is protect themselves and let the village continue to develop.
"How advanced is it? Is it the same as the Earth?" The conversation between Mark and David aroused Laura's interest, and Laura suddenly wanted to know what David wanted to build Winter Village into: "A highly modern large
City? London? Paris?”
"I think it's a lot to live for a few more decades." Mark was happy at first, and then looked helpless: "I may lack the talent for Holy Light, and I have never been able to truly control the energy in my body."
David looked at Mark's funny expression and said his true thoughts smoothly: "Of course I have thought about it. I hope to build my territory into an extremely advanced city."
"There is no need to rush, and if you want to rely on the Holy Light to gain a longer lifespan, you still have to truly master the Holy Light. In your current situation, Mark, you can extend your life by at most a few decades, but not much longer."
Just when Mark began to think about whether he could become a powerful mage, a shadow appeared in the open space not far away.
If you want to find out the person behind the assassin, you have to wait until more accurate information is obtained after this operation.
Since Fording appeared, lifespan is no longer a concern for David. The emergence of extraordinary power has basically made it clear to David that he will definitely have many ways to extend his lifespan in the future.
At the same time, the vast majority of normal people, when they learn that they can live longer, as long as they are not repeatedly tortured by any disease, will only feel happy and will not feel that this is a curse-it can only be said that those screenwriters of film and television dramas
They are not normal people.
Even if no one related to him appears in the next few decades, David doesn't have to worry or struggle. Even if he only relies on the Holy Light, he can live for many, many years.
It is not easy to upgrade from European medieval civilization to interstellar civilization, even if it is cheated. Mark feels that there is not even a side that can't be touched for decades. Even if David can firmly work towards the goal, everything will go smoothly.
But how to solve the problem of lifespan?
"..." Mark Watney opened his mouth, wondering if this goal is too ridiculous? Don't forget that they are still living in a world similar to the European Middle Ages. Even a tap water device requires Laura from the other side of the earth.
Even though it was shipped here, it was just a public water intake facility, which was far from a real tap water network.
David is sitting here, just wanting to see if Tirion will come back. Although Tirion has to wait in the Dead Mines for a long time to wait for Van Cleef's answer, he will go back to Winter Village from time to time to check the situation and give notebooks
Replacement battery.
However, the figure that emerged was not Tirion, but a blond woman wearing a blue slim-fitting military uniform. This woman wearing a miniskirt and military uniform seemed to be running away from something. She was still looking back while running. As a result, the situation suddenly changed.
Coupled with the inappropriate pair of iron-gray stiletto-heeled leather shoes, the blond female officer was unable to maintain her balance and fell solidly to the ground.
The tragic chest brake scene left David and others stunned for two seconds before they reacted. They hurriedly stood up and prepared to help the unlucky newcomer up.
"Are you okay?" Laura was closest to the blond woman, so she moved the fastest. After noticing the panic on the other person's face, she immediately said that she was not a bad person: "Although I don't know what kind of trouble you have encountered, you are safe now.
