After dealing with Will's 'contract issue' with the ten new serfs, David filled in all the documents on the paper that recorded the household registration information of Winter Village.

According to the information on this document, Winter Village is now a village with a permanent population of thirty, and Elizabeth is not included in this list.

"Wait until Fording brings in Van Cleef's group of stonemasons, maybe the population will exceed fifty."

Fifty people, I used to think that fifty people were nothing, but after joining the development team, I learned a lot about the situation in the villages and towns of the Tiran Kingdom.

Fifty permanent residents is already a small village, and if the various infrastructure in David's plan are built, it will be the prototype of a small town.

"If you want a village to be upgraded to a town, you need to have at least a few hundred permanent residents."

This is already the minimum standard: a few hundred people, enough infrastructure, and the conditions are met to become Winter Town, which is David's next goal.

After finishing these things, it was almost noon.

Put away the documents that recorded all kinds of information about the Winter Village, as the Winter Village gradually developed, David realized that he needed to recruit a clerk and other civilian staff, and in the future, there were more and more people and more and more documents that needed to be organized, could he still be busy?

When you are in a small village, you can do it, but when it develops into a town, there are not only a lot of things to deal with, but also very messy, and you can't handle everything by yourself.

On top of that, Will and Elizabeth bring a new problem: language!

It wasn't until Elizabeth sent ten serfs to Will that the governor of Port Royal discovered that the official language of Winter Village was the lingua franca of the world, but everyone who was also a visitor from another world knew English, so she didn't realize it.

She also realized that the biggest obstacle between Will and the ordinary villagers of Winter Village was not that Will would not have contact with them, but that they could not communicate at all due to the language barrier.

Now Will and Elizabeth, the most priority personal problem to solve is to learn the language of this world, fortunately, including the newcomers Peggy and Sharon, they are very good learners, although they have not been here for long, but they can already use the lingua franca for basic communication.

It was precisely because none of the three captains had a language barrier that Davy ignored the matter. He didn't have anything special to do about it, but to let Will study hard.

"So, you want me to write a lingua franca textbook?" Laura was carrying things back and forth, looking at the fact that she was going to eat at noon before she stopped to rest, but was caught by David: "Convenient for Will to learn the language of this world?" ”

"It's not just Will, it's going to be used in the future." In the future, there will be people coming over one after another, and it is definitely the best choice to directly produce this basic textbook, as for whether you are willing to learn it? It was entirely up to his personal wishes, and David was not prepared to enforce it.

"Learn the lingua franca of English?"

"Just write this first." At present, the teaching materials for learning the lingua franca of English are the highest priority.

"What about Chinese?"

"Don't worry about this first......," Davy suddenly thought, and then he needed to use the learning materials of the Azeroth lingua franca and the world's lingua franca, but he had to do it himself, after all, except for David, only Fordin knew the Azeroth lingua franca in the village, and Fordin was now on his way to the western wilderness on horseback in Azeroth.

The two men discussed for a while and decided on a division of labor: Laura would write the lingua franca textbook for English studies, and David would write the lingua franca textbook for Azeroth.

After discussing this matter, David paid attention to what Laura had been busy with in the past two days.

"Do you want to see it?"

"Of course!"

He followed Laura to a makeshift wooden hut, just behind Laura's hut, which was north of it.

When Laura lifted one of the lids, David was shocked and then surprised: "Machine gun? ”

"Two M2 Browning machine guns, and enough ammunition." Laura clasped her hands on her chest and held her head high to introduce her efforts to David during this time: "There are also ten HK416 assault rifles, each with additional barrels of various sizes that can be replaced, as well as accessories including gun lights, various sights, grenade launchers and so on. ”

"......" David looked at Laura speechlessly, is this preparing for war?

However, after thinking about it, the situation facing the winter village now is no different from fighting, so this doubt instantly dissipated, and only ecstasy remained.

"There are also twenty pistols, and considering the power, all of them are Browning M1911 pistols shipped this time, including a few left-handed ones." With the experience of facing trolls, Laura felt that those pistols that were too powerful could be removed from the shortlist, and they would definitely not meet David's needs.

David took two of them and weighed them in his hand, not to choose two new guns for himself, but to think of another question: "You say, can Will build a gun by hand?" ”

"This ......" Laura didn't expect David to ask this: "Theoretically, it's okay." ”

There are many people in her world who work in this area, and they themselves or a few people set up a small workshop to take over the special custom business: "It just needs special equipment and raw materials." ”

Laura guessed that David might have wanted Will to start from scratch and start with a firearm, which was not an easy matter, and the qualified materials alone were enough for the little blacksmith to have a headache.

David also understands how troublesome it can be, and it's not worth it.

Instead of spending time and energy training the little blacksmith to become a half-baked engineer, it is better to let him put his expertise to good use.

As for the custom-made firearm that he had in mind, he could solve it by another means: make his own request, and then Laura would find a top gunsmith to make one, which would not cost much.

Putting the two pistols back in the box, David found that Laura had left a large open space in the wooden shed, presumably with something to be transported.

"Is there anything else that hasn't been shipped? More bullets and grenades? ”

"No, it's a big guy." Laura didn't say what she wanted to bring over, and deliberately smiled mysteriously.

"I wouldn't be surprised if you brought a fighter jet over now."

Seeing that David looked indifferent, Laura suddenly felt that a lot of fun was missing, and simply said the answer: "It's a weasel." ”

"What's that?" Davy's face was full of question marks, not knowing what Laura was talking about.

"You'll find out later." Laura still didn't explain what the 'weasel' was, but she figured that David would be able to tell what it was when she brought some parts over.

The two men chatted a few more words, and then turned back to the 'main street,' where Fording was standing on what Mark jokingly called Winter's First Avenue.

It was only when David noticed that Fording was back and walked back to the front from the back of the cabin with Laura.

"Tirio, you've got rid of all that?"

It's been a few days since Fordin brought all kinds of 'incriminating evidence' to Azeroth, and it seems that Fordin has already dealt with all those things, and the two horses that Fordin is leading at this time are not any of the warhorses that David and his team have captured before.

"yes, it's all gone, it's worth a lot more than I expected."

Six horses aside, the cavalrymen wore a few sets of armor that were not unusual, but the armor on Gregory's body was a bit special.

"Gregory's armor seems to have been mixed with some special metal, which makes it so hard and tough that it was valued by a dwarven blacksmith and bought for a high price." Fording gave a brief overview of the deal, not only for two top-class horses, but also for some extra goodies.

Azeroth's top-of-the-line war horse means that in addition to being able to carry a knight who wears a can on his back for long distances and can charge at any time, he can also make himself like a tin can, wearing strong heavy armor. As for the extra reward that Fordin was talking about, it was a few pieces of metal that he had taken out of the bag hanging from his horse's back.

"What kind of metal is this?" David is not an expert in this area, there is no need to pretend to look at it for a long time, and when Fording takes it out, he directly asks for the answer.

"Cast iron, a metal that has sacred properties in its own right, is a very special kind of metal." According to Fordin's description, some paladins and priests like to add this metal to their weapons or armor, and Fording deliberately brought it back, apparently for David: "You may consider making a weapon out of these bare-cast irons...... Oh, and the bow and arrow may not work. ”

"Good stuff!"

In fact, when Fording said the name Light Cast Iron, he knew what this thing was! After all, he once had the painful experience of killing dozens of fishmen in a row but not a piece of bare cast iron fell, and the memory was too deep to forget.

"In addition, I'm almost at Ironforge Castle, from Ironforge you can take the subway directly to Stormwind City, and after leaving Stormwind City, you will soon be able to reach the Western Wilds." Now that the most difficult part of the road is over, the rest will be much easier and faster.

"It's been a hard work."

Ferding waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, handed the light cast iron to David, replenished some food and water, and led the two warhorses back to Azeroth, and then he would rush with all his strength and run to the Western Wilderness in one go.

Seeing Ferdin's figure disappear again, David remembered that he had promised to help Ferding make a chronicle.

"Laura."

"What's the matter?"

"You can buy Warcraft Chronicles there, right?" David thought for a moment and added, "If you can, buy another set of Warcraft games." ”

"Do you want to install a stand-alone version of World of Warcraft?" Laura understood what David was going to do.

"Absolutely! Remember that each expansion is installed separately. ”
