Chapter 42: The Vanishing Stone

Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter, Sharon Rogers, there are three new residents in Winter Village, and the most important thing is that all three of them have physical fitness beyond ordinary people, even if no one helps, they can easily build a new house, not to mention many people to help.

After learning that there were new people in the village, Ferdin, Laura, and Ardis welcomed and helped a lot in the construction of the new house.

So Steve, Peggy, and Sharon's house was built very quickly, and it only took two days to complete the construction of the main body. As for the internal arrangement and arrangement, they don't need everyone's help, they just need to deal with it according to their preferences.

After completing the construction of his house, Steve went back and forth several times, and Laura also went to buy some to help Peggy and Sharon prepare enough daily necessities.

In this way, in addition to Steve's frequent return to his own world, Peggy and Sharon officially live in Winter Village.

After building their own house, Steve and Peggy would help the villagers build houses, help Ferding chop wood, and help Addis hunt - mainly to carry the game back and forth.

Although they have only just arrived in Winter Village, both Steve and Peggy quickly get to know everyone and gain everyone's favor, this talent to gain anyone's favor is too powerful.

In comparison, Sharon Rogers is not so conspicuous, and even stays in the corner from time to time, quietly watching Steve and Peggy, chatting happily with the people in the village.

"Not comfortable with life here?"

"Nope." Sharon turned her head to look at the English girl named Laura: "It's just that I found more shortcomings." ”

"Oh~ I see." Laura looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, who was tall and had blonde hair, and suddenly understood why she was here, and always quietly observing her parents' parallel universe isotopes.

Everyone already knows the identities of several people, except for Ferdin, who is from the world of Azeroth, both Mark and Laura know Captain America.

As for Captain Carter and Sharon, who is suspected to be Captain America's daughter, although the two don't know each other very well, they can roughly understand what the situation is when they think of Marvel's large number of parallel universe settings.

"If you need help, just come to me." After talking to Sharon a few more words, Laura waved goodbye and went straight to David.

In fact, Laura was looking for David at first, and she happened to see Sharon standing there halfway, so she came over to say hello and chatted a few words, and now that she was done talking, she naturally had to do what she was supposed to do.

"Is it pretty?"

Walking up to David, Laura deliberately moved out of the way and raised an eyebrow at David.

"What?" David looked up at the distance, then at Laura in front of him, "It's pretty good." ”

"I won't be in the village often after a while, here's your chance!" Laura had a smile on her face, as if to remind David, 'There's new tea here!' ’。

"......" David glanced at Laura, and instead of answering the conversation, he wondered why Laura hadn't learned how to use the Light with Ferding today. He didn't go back to his manor to exercise his physical fitness: "Your holy light has run out?" ”

"Not yet, I can clearly feel the holy light in my body now, and there is still a lot of holy light that you have poured into my body." After saying that, Laura always felt that this sentence seemed a little strange, but there was nothing wrong with thinking about it: "According to the current situation, unless I keep practicing the holy light spells I just learned all day long, I won't run out of holy light in a month or two." ”

If Laura exercises hard, the holy light in her body will be consumed faster in order to repair the damage on her body, according to Laura's idea, she wants to consume the holy light in her body to almost nothing, and then come to David to replenish it.

At that time, she had almost learned the Holy Light Spell, and her physical fitness had improved a lot, and it was much safer to set off on an adventure at that time.

"Speaking of which, is this thing really okay there?" Laura glanced at Steve's house not far away, although Steve didn't live here permanently, after all, he was free to travel back and forth between the two worlds.

But he moved a lot of everyday items and set up his house, one of which was a heavy locomotive, which was parked next to Steve's cabin, which had a shed on the side of it to park.

"No problem, the people in the village don't know what it is anyway."

A heavy locomotive weighing more than 200 kilograms is nothing at all for a super soldier like Steve, and it was easy to bring it over.

Even Steve, who had just completed the transformation and had not received more combat training to maximize his potential, could easily lift a heavy locomotive and three plump beauties in a way that was no different from lifting a foam board.

Remembering that in his previous life, there were always people who said that Steve's physical fitness was only the limit of human beings, and David felt particularly speechless: whether it is in the comic book plot, the data given by Marvel, or the various performances of Captain America in the movie universe, Steve's physical fitness belongs to the transcendent level, even if it is a lower level in the transcendent level, but it is not the same thing as the so-called human limit.

And such captains, there are now three in the winter village!

Captain Carter, like Captain America's Steve, has undergone a super soldier transformation to gain strong physical fitness; As for Sharon Rogers, she inherited super qualities from her father and was born extraordinary.

With the addition of Azeroth's original paladin Tirio Fortin, tomb destroyer, paladin apprentice Laura Crawford, and David herself, Winter's force value seems to be a bit too high.

"I don't think it's a good sign."

"Don't put up flags randomly!" Laura heard David's fragmented thoughts and reminded him not to talk nonsense, "Especially at times like this. ”

"What do you mean?" Davy realized that there was an additional meaning in Laura's words, and remembered that Laura seemed to have come specifically for him: "Is there a situation? ”

"Well, remember the ancient altar that the two of us accidentally found earlier?" After gossiping, it was time to get down to business, and Laura lowered her voice a little, bringing up what she and David had found when they explored the Northern Forest: "I went to see it again today. ”

"What's out of the ordinary?"

Davy, of course, remembered the altar, and thought about taking the harvested potatoes when he had time and offering them according to the words on the altar.

But when he found out that the trolls were using a similar altar to gain strange powers, he wasn't ready to do so, he was worried about attracting some strange powers or attention, and even thought about destroying the altar.

It's just that after that, he went back and forth to Irontree Castle continuously, and when he came back, he was busy arranging for the new farmers, and then the little blacksmith and various captains, and he almost forgot about it.

"The stele is gone."

"Huh?" David suspected that he might have misunderstood Laura's words: "The stele is missing?" Literally gone? ”

"Yes, the literal stele is gone, and the entire altar has been destroyed." Laura described her findings in detail.

According to Laura, the altar beneath the mine was no longer an altar, and all that remained was the remains of the altar's base, which had been shattered into tiny pieces that would be nearly impossible to put back together.

In addition to this, the stone tablet at the core of the altar disappeared directly.

"I've looked at the rubble, and it's definitely not including the stele." Laura was confident enough in her professional abilities that she was 100% sure that the rubble did not include any part of the stele.

"Earthquake?" As soon as he said this, David himself dismissed the speculation. The cave was not far from Winter Village, and if there was such a strong earthquake, it would be impossible for it to be undetected; And how did the earthquake shake the stone monument? Directly shaken into powder? "Someone took the stele and destroyed what was left of the altar."

This is the greatest possibility, David immediately thought of the troll creature, but he doubted that the troll had this kind of intelligence.

"Maloney Mansfield?" After thinking about it, the biggest suspicion fell on Maloney Mansfield, the aristocratic official of Irontree Castle, who was the only 'outsider' who came to Winter Village and stayed for a long time during this time.

Although Maloney spent most of his time 'visiting' the village with David after coming to Winter Village, and rarely went around the village, this kind of thing did not need to be done by a person of his status, and the work of Maloney's subordinates naturally had to be attributed to this noble official.

Of course, David did not rule out that one of Maloney's subordinates did it, and Maloney himself did not know about it.

"Whoever did it, what was the purpose of doing it? Will it threaten us? ”

This is the most critical question compared to who does it!

David thought about it for a while, and found that he couldn't think of an answer at all, because many things he couldn't figure out by sitting here thinking, and he lacked enough intelligence information, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to analyze.

In this case, the only way is to make yourself stronger in order to deal with all kinds of crises that may arise.

"As long as we are strong enough, then any intrigue is helpless against us."

Hearing that Davy had come up with a solution that wasn't a solution, Laura felt that this way of coping was too passive, but she couldn't think of a good way to deal with it other than that. But soon Laura discovers that David's 'self-strength' is a little different from what she thought.

"Laura, can you get some heavy machine guns, mortars, and other weapons?"
