My name is Will Turner and I am an apprentice blacksmith.

I came to Port Royal at a very young age and grew up in the most prosperous port city in the Caribbean and learned how to be a good blacksmith.

I'm not bragging, but the sword I created is definitely the best saber of my time, and sooner or later I will become one of the most famous craftsmen in the world.

But that didn't change the fact that I was still an apprentice blacksmith, and that became the biggest obstacle in my quest for Elizabeth.

What should I do? Can we make the gap between us smaller?

Just when I was thinking hard but couldn't think of an answer, I actually walked into a strange village for some reason.

What is this place? Is there such a primitive village near Port Royal?

When I heard all the explanations from the young village chief named David, I just thought it was ridiculous, and I couldn't understand what two different worlds were. Maybe I just haven't woken up yet? This strange experience was nothing more than a dream.

And even if what he says is true? Elizabeth lives in Port Royal and my future is in Port Royal!

But even after many days, I still couldn't control the curiosity that rose in my heart from time to time, as if a voice kept telling me, 'This is an opportunity, if you miss it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!' Finally, I came to this place called Winter Village again, and I used the method that the young village chief had told me.

After a brief exchange, I learned that the village lacked a blacksmith, and the village chief, David, kindly invited me to become a blacksmith in Winter Village.

It seemed like a good opportunity for me to have a blacksmith shop that was completely my own, rather than continuing to work in Port Royal.

But Elizabeth ......

Just when I was about to refuse, the village chief told me that I was free to travel back and forth between Winter Village and Port Royal, 'the distance between the two places', even closer than I had from the blacksmith to the Governor's Palace in Port Royal.

So I didn't have to worry about separating from Elizabeth, so I happily took the job and invited Elizabeth to visit when my blacksmith shop was officially opened.

But I never expected that the first job in front of me would be like this......

"I'm a blacksmith." Will Turner pointed to a large pile of parts in front of him and complained to David: "These things don't seem to be my job. ”

"I'm the village chief, aren't I here to tinker with these things?" David didn't look up, he was almost buried in the drawing, and he still couldn't find where the part in his hand should be installed: "I don't think this part should be on this machine." ”

"You're holding parts for a wind turbine." Mark, who was the most knowledgeable on the scene, looked at the drawings a few times and quickly figured out what David was holding in his hand: "What you have in front of you is a drawing of a pump battery pack. ”

“……”

David reluctantly put the parts in his hand aside, he felt that he had no talent in machinery, and once dreamed that he could rub out the mobile armor in Winter Village and become a big machine tyrant, but he didn't even step into the door, and was slapped out of the door by the cruel reality.

At this time, Laura reappeared carrying the large suitcase, and then sat on the ground, completely unconcerned about how indecent her position was, not the pose of a young aristocratic woman: "I think this job is more tiring than exercising." ”

"Carrying these parts back and forth is just exercising!" Mark looked at the pile of boxes in front of him, as well as the various parts taken out of the several boxes that had been opened, scattered in such a large pile, and this was only a part: "I don't think you can do anything else in the past few days." ”

"I just want to find a place to lie down and never move again." Laura was so tired that she didn't even want to eat, but although she said this, she didn't mean to stop physically, and after complaining casually, Laura stood up again: "I'll continue to move the next box." ”

"Won't you rest a little longer?" Mark looked at Laura, who was full of tiredness, worried that her body would have problems due to overwork: "Anyway, it's not a particularly urgent matter, and it doesn't matter if you move to next year." ”

"No, I just want to get these things done sooner." Laura had made up her mind to complete these tasks as soon as possible so that she could complete her adventure plan: "Don't worry about me, I feel the light in my body repairing my body and making me stronger, don't you notice that I move parts much faster than I did at the beginning?" ”

The Holy Light is Laura's biggest hole card, and the Holy Light stored in her body will ensure that her body will not be damaged, and the high-intensity work will further squeeze out her physical potential, which means that the harder Laura works, the more her physical fitness improves.

Laura herself didn't notice that her tenacity had further enhanced her affinity with the Light, and she was not far from touching that opportunity, perhaps she had already obtained the power of the Light through her own efforts before she drained the Light from Davy in her body.

At that time, there will be a baptism of light, but I don't know if it will become a light-cast Laura.

It was precisely when he noticed this, when he helped Laura check her physical condition and the holy light in her body, that David did not persuade Laura to stop and rest, because it was not for her good to persuade her to rest at this time, but would make Laura miss a great opportunity.

When Laura left Winter Village again and went back to move parts, Davy simply explained the reason in the face of Mark's inquiry.

He's not just playing mystery and then deliberately hiding it without explaining it, which results in misunderstanding and confusion, so what's wrong with just a few words of things? Could it be that telling Mark would make Laura miss the opportunity? Mark wasn't that much of an influencer.

As for Will? The little blacksmith who had just arrived in Winter Village was still in a state of confusion, and he couldn't figure out what the pile of delicate parts in front of him was for.

Seeing Will's doubts, and Mark didn't have anything to do for the time being—the biggest role of his stay here was to figure out what parts Laura had brought in, and then sort them out for the assembly work later.

So by the way, he explained that this large pile of things is to install a tap water system for the village, including pumping machines, water purification equipment, battery packs, wind turbines, solar generators, etc.

"You mean, after assembling these things by the river, you can drink clean water in the village?"

"Yes."

Will finally figured out what this big pile of things does, but he didn't quite understand: "Wouldn't it be better to dig a well directly in the village?" Why all the trouble? ”

"Because it's just the most rudimentary water system." Although David has said that he plans to build various public facilities to make the village better, he has not yet told anyone about his follow-up thoughts: "It is to lay the foundation for a real water network in the future." ”

Although it is a transitional product before the completion of the actual water network, it is not wrong to say that it is a foundation that is laid, and this automatic pumping and conveying system will also ensure the construction and use of facilities such as bathrooms and cafeterias.

Will didn't understand much about David's plans, and he was more curious now that David didn't come to him just to make these delicate and complex parts, right?

Although as a blacksmith, he has itchy hands when faced with these delicate things, but he has never built them, and he doesn't know if he can make them.

Squatting on the ground and constantly looking at a certain part, he looked at it for a while and continued to look at it, until he changed a dozen or so, and then Will nodded: he already had an accurate conclusion, and he couldn't build it himself!

Will didn't speak, he felt that he couldn't do the job if he said he couldn't do it, so did the blacksmith shop he had just arrived leave him?

"Maybe you should think about it and spend more time practicing, and you should be able to build it, right?"

Will finally saw some hope and didn't want to give up this opportunity easily.

In fact, he thought too much, and David didn't expect him to be able to build all kinds of machines with his bare hands in such a primitive environment, after all, this name is Will Turner, not Tony Stark or Bruce Wayne.

While Will pondered his thoughts, Laura ran back and forth several more times, finally piercing the window paper after putting the box down again.

A pillar of light descended from the void, and Laura, bathed in the holy light, felt that she was soaking in the most comfortable hot spring she had ever soaked in her life, and every cell in her body seemed to be cheering, and the fatigue accumulated before quickly subsided, and at the same time, the little holy light that was already left in her body was also increasing rapidly, and the whole person returned to the best state in the blink of an eye.

"This ......"

The pillar of light had dissipated, and the baptism of light lasted only a few seconds, but Laura felt like she had been reborn.

"I'm approved by the Light?"

Being able to use the holy light infused into her body by David and using the holy light spell freely made Laura very satisfied, but she didn't expect to get the approval of the holy light in a daze, which was really an unexpected surprise.

"Congratulations!" Mark, who was standing next to him, looked envious, and made a joke by the way: "What's next, preparing to be a priest?" Or become a paladin? ”

"I never thought about it." Laura felt that neither the priest nor the paladin made any difference to herself, she was not a believer in the Light, and she did not consider the Light as her faith after receiving it.

So strictly speaking, she is a user of the Light, not a follower.

However, there is no need to explain these things, compared to this, it is more important to explain the situation to Will who keeps drawing crosses.

"Will, it was just a baptism of light, not a miracle."
