David didn't respond to Penny's enthusiasm in particular, just a polite chat, and the blonde girl realized that David was 'not interested' in her.

However, her personality is relatively a bit arrogant, and her nature is not bad, so she didn't care too much about being 'rejected', but just changed the topic with "I thought you were an old man with a gray beard like in the game Leonard and they played".

After a brief chat, the two sides got to know each other, and Leonard secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that David did not launch an offensive against Penny, and at the same time introduced several other friends to David: "This is Howard Wolowitz." ”

"Hello, just call me Howard." Howard reached out and shook David's hand, and at the same time introduced Rajesh Kusapari to David, who was unable to speak in front of women: "This is Raj Kusapari, he can't speak in the presence of women, considering the current situation, you can just treat him as a mute." ”

"......" Raj glared at his friend, then smiled and shook David's hand, then pulled Howard aside and continued to express his displeasure with his hand.

"Oh? What did you say? Sorry, I can't hear anything......" Howard kept complaining about Raj, but he didn't break free from the other, and the two of them just stepped aside, continuing the previous conversation.

"The two of them ......"

"Yes, we sometimes have that suspicion too." Leonard looked at the two of them and said he was used to the scene: "And this is my roommate Sheldon Cooper, Sheldon, who rented an apartment with me!" Stop pestering Ferding to ask questions! He doesn't need to educate him about what the Holy Light is! ”

Shouting out to Sheldon Cooper, the tall, lanky man who had been talking to Fording all the time, walked up to David, despite his reluctance.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he had met Fordin, Sheldon would have been very curious about David, the village chief of Winter Village, and he wondered why this place could gather people from all kinds of different worlds, and what was so extraordinary about David as the village chief?

Looking up and down, Sheldon greeted David politely: "Hello, I'm Dr. Sheldon Cooper." ”

"Hello, Dr. Cooper." David shook hands with Sheldon, who was already polite to himself compared to how Sheldon behaved with most people in the plot: "Welcome to Winter Village." ”

"Thank you very much for having us here, it's an honor for me." It's not that Sheldon doesn't know how to talk politely, it's just that most of the time he doesn't want to do that because he doesn't feel necessary.

But when facing David, he put the skills he didn't usually use back in the skill column: "In addition, I also promise you that your decision is very correct...... I heard that the village chief is considering building the village of Winter into a town of winter, and I have some ...... about this Whew~ Leonard, didn't you see that I was discussing something important with Village Chief David? ”

Leonard gave David an embarrassed smile full of apologies, and at the same time poked Sheldon: "I don't think Village Chief Davy needs to ask your opinion on how to build his own village. ”

In a whisper, Leonard pulled Sheldon aside, and the two began to argue violently, and David was very amused to see a similar scene up close that he had seen many times.

"Huh? Why is it so lively today? At this moment, Will, who hadn't seen much all day, came back from Port Royal and found the village more lively than ever, and there were many people he hadn't seen before: "So many newcomers here? ”

David explained the current situation to Will, and learned that not only newcomers such as Leonard and Eva had come to Winter Village, but also that Ferding had successfully recruited hundreds of people, and he realized that Winter Village was about to enter a period of rapid development.

As a blacksmith, he's going to be very busy.

Will doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, it's important for him to be busy, and his main task is to study these days. It was very uncomfortable for him to learn a new language and learn a new knowledge of blacksmithing, but he had no place to put it when he was done.

Well, now, a lot of people have arrived, and just building all kinds of tools and maintenance is enough for him to keep busy every day.

After another introduction, several of Leonard's friends reacted amazingly when they saw Will Turner, especially Penny and Raj, but Sheldon was very calm, and it seemed that he had no special impression of the little blacksmith.

As the group chatted with each other, David took the time to hand Laura the list he had written earlier: "These things need to be bought as soon as possible, especially the bed and bedding." ”

The weather has gradually cooled down, and it is okay for the group of craftsmen who just arrived to deal with it for a day or two, but something will definitely happen after a long time.

"Leave it to me, Peggy has already told me." Laura looked at the list, which detailed how many sets of bedding to buy first, and how many more to follow? As well as the priority of various supplies: "Speaking of which, don't you need to buy a batch of building materials?" ”

"It's not clear." David said that he would have to wait for Van Cleef to inspect the surrounding environment of Winter Village before he could determine what to buy: "It may take Edwin to figure out what resources are available and what is missing around Winter Village to know what building materials to buy." ”

When Laura heard Davy say this, she immediately understood his thoughts: "You want to build a new town using the materials available here as much as possible?" ”

"If the city wants to develop, the demand for all kinds of raw materials will increase, and it is impossible for you to carry it from home." David had this idea for a long time, before the village was not large and the population was not large, the demand was so small, and Laura was not troublesome to transport.

Not anymore, the town of a few hundred people is not small anymore, and the demand for all kinds of supplies is very staggering. If everything goes well, there will be continuous expansion in the future, is it all up to Laura to transport cement to this side bag by bag?

In short, David's next goal is to use 'local' resources in raw materials as much as possible, and only some high-end, sophisticated, and irreplaceable things are 'imported' from other worlds.

In the days that followed, Laura began to travel frequently to and from her own world in Winter Village, prioritizing the delivery of bedding and bunk beds, followed by various tools requested by the craftsmen to ensure that the craftsmen could get to work immediately.

Then there are radiators and other living facilities, in order to ensure that the winter village, which has reached several hundred people, will not have injuries and illnesses this winter, Laura also purchased a large number of medicines and coal.

The peaceful and peaceful Winter Village has once again become a large construction site, and this time it is much larger than the previous one, and the simple layout of the village can run through the whole village from a main street, gradually changing to a square layout.

It took some time for Ferding to finally bring to Winter Village about 400 former Brotherhood members and some of their families, of whom there were nearly 100 high-level craftsmen, more than 200 of whom were family members of these high-level craftsmen, mainly women and children, and less than 100 were low-level craftsmen and miners.

This demographic structure is very unreasonable, but there is a reason: the high-level craftsmen trust Van Cleaf, plus they are on the wanted list of the Stormwind Kingdom, and there is no way to go back to continue to be ordinary people, these people and their families will either follow Van Cleef to Winter Village or choose to leave the Stormwind Kingdom by boat.

As for the less than a hundred craftsmen and miners, they were basically young and strong bachelors, they trusted Van Cleeff, and they had no concerns, so Van Cleef wanted to take them somewhere else to start a new life, and these people followed.

In the end, these 400 people are all humans, and when Van Cleef formed the Defia Brotherhood, in order to ensure that the Defia Brotherhood has a strong enough 'high-end combat power', the hired mercenaries of other races such as minotaurs, fishmen, etc., did not bring Winter Village.

One is that Van Cleef doesn't know what David's world is like, and he doesn't know if these non-human races will cause any bad conflicts in the past; Another reason was that Van Cleef didn't trust these mercenaries, and he didn't even inform them when he had a meeting with everyone to discuss whether or not to start a new life in another world.

In any case, about 400 craftsmen, miners and their families joined Winter Village, and Van Cleef, after introducing David to everyone, also took the initiative to 'resign' as the leader, took off the red mask around his neck and burned it on the spot, announcing that the Brotherhood and the Masonry Guild had become a thing of the past, and everyone would be a villager in Winter Village from now on.

He estimated that he would spend one to two months surveying the surroundings of Winter Village, understanding the geology, the types of mineral deposits, and the places where there are a large number of high-quality stone and other resources in the area, before he could start to think about how to design the new city.

"You need to wait until then to start designing, including your castle."

"My ...... Castle? Davy listened to Van Cleve's description of his future plans, and his whole person was confused, and even his hand, which was writing, stopped: "When did I say that I was going to build a castle?" ”

He just wanted Van Cleef to help design a new winter town, why did the castle come out?

"I heard that you're going to apply for the upgrade of Winter Village to Winter Town, and if it goes well, you'll get a knighthood, isn't it normal for you to live in a castle as a lord with a title?"

"......" David felt that what Edwin Van Cleef said made a lot of sense, and he couldn't refute it at all: "This ...... At most, they are country lords in remote parts of the kingdom, and they don't necessarily get titles. ”

Van Cleef looked at David's glowing eyes, "I'll design a better castle than Stormwind Fortress." ”
