David agreed.

Compared to the altar found in the mine with Laura, this altar is even more damaged, and some patterns can only be faintly seen on it, and it is impossible to see what exactly is 'written'.

At the same time, because of the killing just now, the stone tablet was surrounded by blood stains, and the existence of these blood stains made this stone tablet and the broken stone platform constantly emit a scarlet light, giving people a very strange feeling.

"The kind of spell these trolls used before should have been obtained from this altar." Fording was much more familiar with mystical powers than David, and having just fought the trolls, he roughly guessed the altar's function: to offer sacrifices and gain power.

"These trolls attack when they see other creatures, maybe it's because of this altar?" According to Fordin's guess, the trolls had a habit of attacking at the slightest disagreement - as long as they weren't of their own kind, they were prey, killed and offered as sacrifices to the altar to gain that power.

"It should be!" Furding lifted his weapon, but looked at the two-handed heavy sword in his hand, and didn't know whether to chop it down for a while: "You should bring a heavy hammer." ”

“……”

These paladins and warriors from Azeroth have polished their bodies to a considerable extent, and they are not used to ordinary weapons at all, but some 'heavy weapons' that look exaggerated in the eyes of ordinary people, especially favored by this group of guys with steel bodies (weakened versions).

If Fording had been using a two-handed hammer at the moment, he would have slammed it on the stele without hesitation, destroying it completely.

But now...... He was a little reluctant to use such a good two-handed sword to split stones.

"Leave it to me!"

"Do you have a way?"

"Hmm!" Davy rummaged through his backpack a few times and found what he needed: "Laura had brought some explosives earlier, just in case I brought some and put some in the backpack. ”

The original idea was that if you were blocked by something, or if you were stuck in a cave or something, you could use it to blow up your way out.

It should be no problem to blow up a stone monument.

As for the mysterious power on this altar, it should not protect this stone tablet, otherwise it would not have become its current state.

Rumble!

Properly arranged, lit and running to a safe distance, David and Fording watched as the stele was blasted into countless rubble.

After standing still for a few more moments, making sure that nothing strange had happened and that the stele had been completely destroyed, David and Fording cleaned up the battlefield again - burying the troll's corpse and seeing if there was any suitable loot.

After checking it, the two of them were completely sure that the lifestyle of this group of trolls was quite primitive, and even if they had intelligence, they were not very different from other beasts.

"It's a pity, if the body of this giant wolf can be preserved intact, then this fur is a good thing." Furding looked at the huge wolf's head that had been thrown in the corner, and estimated that there were other bits and pieces scattered around after eating the leftovers.

David looked at it and recognized it as the head of the huge head wolf that had been placed on the altar earlier, and it was a pity that the giant wolf had a beautiful snow-white fur.

"We don't lack a fur right now, anyway."

After checking, the two of them set out on the road back, because the threat near the village was completely cleared, both of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing all the way back.

"Now that the food problem has been solved, and the farmland that can continue to grow food has been reclaimed, do you have any plans for the future?"

On the way back to the village, Furding wondered what David's plans were next. Ever since he was curious about how far David could go, Foding began to pay attention to David's every move.

This is very different from the initial 'whatever, I just have a place to live anyway', and in a sense it was only at this time that Fourding began to integrate into the Winter Village.

David was very happy about the situation. He knew that people like Mark and Ferdin, who were greatly involved in their own world, would find it difficult to truly become the villagers of Winter Village, and even at the beginning, David didn't really have the idea of turning them into his own villagers, but just hoped to use these people and the power behind them to develop the village.

The village has farmland and comfortable accommodation, and after improving these 'hardware attributes', he will use these to attract more locals to join, which is his original plan.

Now it seems that it may be impossible for them to really stay in Winter Village and become villagers of Winter Village.

"Go to Irontree with the Pioneer Order." Now that everything is ready, it is time for him to go to Iron Tree Castle and truly confirm his identity as the village chief: "In addition to letting Winter Village be recognized by the kingdom, I am going to recruit some villagers to come to Winter Village." ”

"For a village to grow, a sufficient population is indispensable." Fording agrees with David's plan, and he can't make a better suggestion for now. In the future, whether it is to cultivate more land and expand the scale of farmland, it is necessary to have enough people: "If possible, find more craftsmen." ”

Whether it is a blacksmith, a stonemason, or a carpenter, there are none of them, and craftsmen are also indispensable if the village is to develop steadily.

"I know."

The carpenter and the stonemason may not be in a hurry, but the blacksmith must find one, otherwise the average farmer's farm tools are not guaranteed, and they can't all rely on Laura to go home and buy them, right?

If you think about it carefully, if there are few people, you can barely accept it, but if there are too many people, it will definitely not work, so in the end, it depends on how many people you can abduct.

"If only I could recruit a hundred or so people in one go."

In that case, it would be possible to plan and build Winter Village in the same way as Winter Town, but David knew that this was simply not possible.

First of all, the population of this world is not so large that a few words can fool more than a hundred.

Secondly, there were many pioneers who ran back to Irontree Castle before, and the situation in Winter Village may have spread in Irontree Castle, and many people may not believe what David said.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry, as long as the village develops steadily, the population will slowly increase." Fordin felt that he had enough experience in this area, after all, he was also the lord of the kingdom of Lordaeron, and managed a large area of land: "As long as you don't encounter the scourge of war or something." ”

"War? I shouldn't be able to touch it! ”

David felt that the war was too far away from Winterfell. Because his village is located in the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Tiran, which is the northernmost force in the entire continent, this northernmost point does not only refer to the human kingdom, but all the racial forces on the continent.

Before David established Winter Village, there was no real state in the plains north of the Tiran Mountains and the Irontree Forest, not even a town. In other words, around David's Winter Village, there is at most a small threat like the troll village that has just been eliminated by Fordin.

In addition, the only ones who can really be called powerful are the elves who live in the Iron Tree Forest.

As for the outbreak of war between the Kingdom of Tiran and other countries, which in turn affects Winter Village? This possibility is also relatively low, first of all, Winter Village has just been established, and there are not a few registered strong men in the village at all - to be exact, David is currently a strong man, and the rest are not from this world, and when the war really breaks out to the point where the whole country needs to pull strong men, no one can be recruited.

Even if the call-up order is really given, it is likely that David will deal with it alone.

Moreover, according to the Pioneer Decree, the kingdom generally does not issue a call for such newly established villages unless there is an emergency—Winter Village is not really established at the moment, and there are still many processes to be completed.

In this environment, as long as David didn't provoke the group of elves in the Iron Tree Forest, Winter Village was basically far away from the threat of war.

Of course, staying away from threats does not mean that he is absolutely safe, nor does it mean that David has given up on the promotion of 'force', and he cannot let himself put down the sword in his hand at any time, only when the sword is sharp enough can he calmly face any threat.

He understood this truth in his previous life, and he dare not forget it in this life!

Along the way, they stopped and picked some wild vegetables, mushrooms and fruits, which not only eliminated potential threats, but also replenished food along the way.

Back in Winter, he discovers that Mark has not returned to the Martian base, but has carved out a small field on the outskirts of the village.

"What is this doing?"

When David and Furding approached, Mark was wiping his sweat with a shovel on his arm, and when he saw that the two of them were not even dirty in their clothes, he knew that those trolls had not caused trouble to these two, so he didn't ask the two how the battle was doing, and answered David's question directly: "Laura brought some wheat and corn seeds, I'll try to plant them." ”

There is wheat in this world, but the wheat seeds brought by the pioneer team have not been successfully planted in the past two years, so David has not considered planting wheat or barley.

But Mark is willing to try, and he has no reason to object, maybe the seeds provided by Laura can adapt to the soil and climate? Or maybe my previous feeling that the land has changed is not a delusion? It doesn't hurt to try anyway.

"You're not going to try it on Mars?"

"Just getting a small plot of land to plant wheat doesn't take much time at all." Now Mark has enough food and enough rest, and when his physical strength is guaranteed, he can do what he wants, and he doesn't care about wasting such a little physical energy: "When the Martian base is ready, I'm going to try to grow some vegetables." ”

With a variety of fresh vegetables, pasta made from wheat, plenty of potatoes, and a variety of meats, Winter Village will truly be free to eat.

Thinking of such a scene, David was full of anticipation!
