"Ah~ Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow!" David stood at the end of the village, looking at the endless snowfield scenery. He started to read the poem, but after he started, it disappeared: "What's the next sentence?"
Although his mental power has been greatly improved, knowledge that has not been used for a long time is like items piled in the corner of a warehouse. It takes time to think of it.
Before he could think of it, a small figure had already walked up to him. It was none other than the old hunter Addis who had been away for some time.
David stood here and saw Addis coming back, so he was here to greet him: "You're back!"
"Well, this trip took a little longer, and..." Addis tightened the heavy cloak around him: "I'm a little unprepared for the winter in this area."
Although it was troublesome to collect information in Iron Tree Fort, it did not stump Addis, an old hunter. In addition to finding out a lot of information through the connections in Iron Tree Fort, he also found his elf friends and got more information from them.
.
Because they have been at war with humans for a long time, the elves in the Iron Tree Forest are also trying their best to collect all the information they can. It is impossible to tell Addis all of these things, but some contents can be revealed.
After sorting and summarizing all kinds of information and confirming that he could no longer obtain any more information, Addis wanted to return to Winter Village before the weather was 'not too cold'.
As a result, he underestimated the horror of winter on the northern plains. Winter had just entered Tieshubao, and it had already turned into a vast white snowfield.
The open terrain without any obstruction allowed Addis to feel the knife-like cold wind.
"Iron Tree Castle may not be happy to handle this matter for you." Addis didn't know that Winter Village could develop so fast before setting off, but he still tried to find out what the nobles of Iron Tree Castle thought of Winter Village.
Attitude - There's no such thing as an attitude, most of them just ignore this small village.
"It is indeed very powerful." David thought for a moment. As the lord of Hearthglen in the Kingdom of Lordaeron, Fording is considered the top noble in the Kingdom of Lordaeron. If you include one of the leaders of the Knights of the Silver Hand, the first generation
One of the Paladins and so on, the Fordring family undoubtedly stands at the top of the human race in the world of Azeroth.
It is normal for the elves to take the initiative, otherwise they will be attacked from the southeast and north by the humans of Iron Tree Fort. The elves will not have a good life in the future. They must eliminate the hidden dangers in one direction before the humans gain a stable foothold.
"Tirion Fordring should come from a very powerful family, right?"
But if Winter Village wants to be upgraded to Winter Town, these nobles cannot be ignored. This means that David will become a noble, which means there are more forces on the northern plains competing for territory and resources, not to mention Frey among them.
A family like Ste, who originally wanted to swallow up Winter Village.
"Yes." Addis also told the news he had learned from the elves: "So, the elves are preparing to take the initiative this time."
"But I've only been away for a few months, right?" Addis looked at the lively Winter Village and wondered if he had gone in the wrong direction and gone to another village? He had only been away for such a short time, what happened to the village?
So many more people?
At this time, after seeing that Addis no longer looked worried, he guessed that the trouble he would face next year might not be as serious as originally expected.
The elves in the iron tree forest had no choice but to watch humans continue to cut down the iron trees, causing the elves' living area to shrink.
When David saw Addis, he noticed the unconcealed sadness on the old hunter's face and guessed that the news he got was not good for Winter Village.
"Now that we have enough population, should we submit an application to upgrade Winter Village to Winter Town?"
Although there is a vast land on the east side of the Northern Plains, that is, to the east of Snowfield Castle, due to the presence of orcs, only a few strong-minded people, or those who are confident in their own strength, are ready to go to that area to occupy a larger area.
of land.
"Some people actually want to build villages and towns in the east? In this case, the elves can't really scare those guys!" The humans in Iron Tree Fort have been fighting with the elves in Iron Tree Forest for so many years, and they have always had the upper hand. Otherwise, Iron Tree Fort would not be able to
Become the largest timber supplier in the Kingdom of Tiran.
These families may be strong or weak, and some weak families will also join forces with other families. Anyway, the nobles of Tieshubao have taken collective action, at least a few families have not taken any action.
"Then why did he come here?" What Addis couldn't understand was that if the Fordring family was really so powerful, why would Tirion come to the remote Winter Village? Why would he be willing to help David?
"I'm already making preparations for this." All the documents have been prepared, and the next step is to wait for Van Cleef's design drawings, and then the entire village will start upgrading various facilities.
But it would be interesting if the elves prepare to build a fortress. The entire northern plain will turn into a multi-force melee between the three races?
"Next year, this originally desolate plain will become very lively." Addis drank a few mouthfuls of hot soup. After his whole body warmed up, he took off his heavy cloak and turned to look at the people sitting in the cafeteria.
A large number of villagers said: "But as long as those guys don't unite to deal with us, we don't have to worry about anything."
The villagers don't have to worry about the cold in winter, and they can steadily produce crops and get enough food to live. Then ordinary villagers will be willing to live for a long time. After living in this way for a few years, the villagers will develop feelings for this place and truly
I regard this place as my home and I don’t want to leave.
Further south, we are too close to the Iron Tree Forest, and we are likely to be attacked by elves like the previous pioneering team.
The two people quickly arrived at the cafeteria, opened the door to the cafeteria and stepped inside. The warm air hit Addis's face, making his almost frozen face come to life in an instant: "It's so hot!"
"Oh!" Addis didn't ask too carefully. When he heard that he was being expelled, he knew it wouldn't be a good thing. It's no wonder Fording came to live in a remote place like Winter Village.
According to Addis's description, after next spring, at least ten or more families will send teams to the northern plains to reclaim land and build villages.
He doesn't need to wait until it's completed. As long as he starts construction and has a rough plan, he can go to Iron Tree Fort to apply for an upgrade with the relevant documents.
David took Addis to the cafeteria and briefly talked about what happened recently.
"Why is it so warm in here?"
This way, he doesn't seem to have to worry about what will happen next year.
The biggest problem before was the inability to recruit more villagers. Now this problem has been solved. A few hundred people can be regarded as a town in the Kingdom of Tilan. As long as these people are used properly, Winter Village can become the number one village in the northern plains.
Big town.
"Because of some things, Tirion was expelled."
"Most of them are concentrated between Winter Village and Snowfield Castle."
Looking around, there were many people sitting in this vast canteen. Everyone greeted David warmly when they saw him coming in. Addis stood at the door for a while and could see that these new villagers were here.
, I have great respect for David, the village chief.
"Oh! In that case, it would be really exciting."
"First drink some hot soup to warm yourself up... This is Jonah, Laura's friend, and now the chef in the village. The food he makes is very delicious." By the way, Jonah was introduced to Addis, and then the two of them
Sitting in the corner of the bar, we whispered about the news that Addis had found out this time.
"So I will most likely go to the Royal City." After hearing the news from Addis, David felt that he must go to the Royal City: "It just so happens that I haven't been to the Royal City yet."
"What a good thing!" Although he didn't understand how this kind of thing worked, after experiencing the power of the radiator firsthand, Addis also realized how important this thing was to Winter Village, a village in a cold place like this.
What value does it have.
With hundreds of people willing to live there for a long time, including craftsmen, David's Winter Village will even become the most prosperous village in the area.
"Um!"
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to walk back to Winter Village, so he had to turn around and return to Iron Tree Fort. After buying enough cold-proof clothes and more food, he actually embarked on the road back to Winter Village.
"Because of that." David pointed to the radiators installed around the house: "That is a heating device called a radiator, which allows people in the village not to worry about the cold environment outside."
David was very curious. After the elves wiped out the human villages this time, would they continue to retreat to the forest, or build a fortress directly to the north of the Iron Tree Forest?
If they retreat deep into the forest again, humans will continue to build villages here, eating away at the power of the elves bit by bit.
"Are you relieved?"
It’s not surprising that most villages would choose this area. According to the information currently available at Iron Tree Fort, the area around Cold Winter Village is considered a relatively safe area.
"This is not a trip."
When he heard that Fording had recruited four hundred people, all of whom were craftsmen and their families, the old hunter's expression was so wonderful that he finally couldn't bear the questions he had been holding back for a long time.
"Not much difference."
When Addis faced David, he always felt like he would be pissed to death at any time. This kid has been like this since he was a child. Things that others valued very much seemed to him to be trivial matters that were not worth caring about. He originally thought that joining the development team would make him angry.
I asked him to 'sober up', but he came back with a big noise, leaving Addis very speechless.
"If you want to go to the Royal City, it's best to ask Laura to help you buy some decent clothes and prepare more gifts... Otherwise, I can go with you next year!"
