"Ah~ Thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting!" David stood at the head of the village, looking at the endless snowy scenery, and began to read the poem, but after the beginning, it was gone: "What's next?" ”

Although his mental power has improved a lot, the knowledge that he has not used for a long time is like an item stacked in the far corner of the warehouse, and it takes some time to remember it.

Before he could remember, there was only a small figure in front of him, and it was the old hunter Ardis who had been away for a while.

David stood here when he saw Ardis coming back, and he greeted him here: "It's back!" ”

"Well, this trip took a little longer, and ......" Ardis tightened the heavy cloak on his body, "It's a bit unprepared for the winter in this area. ”

Although it was troublesome to collect information in Irontree, it did not bother Ardis as an old hunter, in addition to finding out a lot of information through his connections in Irontree, he also found his elven friends and got more information from the other party.

Because of the long-term war with humans, the elves in the Iron Tree Forest are also trying to collect all the information they can gather, which cannot be told to Artis, but some of the contents can be revealed.

After compiling all the information and making sure that he could no longer get more information, Ardis wanted to return to Winter Village before the weather was 'not too cold'.

As a result, he underestimated the horror of winter on the northern plains, where it had only reached winter, and which had already turned into a white snowfield.

There was no obstacle in the empty terrain, which also made Addis feel the cold wind like a knife.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to walk back to Winter Village, so he had to turn around and go back to Iron Tree Castle, and after buying enough winter clothes and more food, he could actually set foot on the road back to Winter Village.

"I've only been gone for a few months, though, right?" Ardis looked at the bustling Winter Village and wondered if he had gone in the wrong direction and gone to another village. I have only been away for such a short time, why are there so many more people in the village?

David led Ardis to the cafeteria, and by the way, briefly talked about what had happened recently.

When he heard that Ferding had recruited four hundred people, and all of them were craftsmen and craftsmen's families, the old hunter's expression was so wonderful and wonderful, and he finally couldn't help the questions that he had held back for a long time.

"Tirio Fortin, I think I come from a very powerful family, right?"

"It's really powerful." David thought about it, as the lord of the Hearthh Valley of the Lordaeron Kingdom, Ferding is considered the top nobleman of the Lordaeron Kingdom, and if you count the aura of one of the leaders of the Silver Hand Knights, one of the first paladins, etc., the Ferding family undoubtedly stands at the top of the human race in the world of Azeroth.

"Then why is he here?" What Ardis couldn't understand was why Tirio would come to the remote Winter Village if the Ferdins were really so powerful? Why are you willing to help David?

"Because of something, Tirio was expelled."

"Oh!" Ardis didn't ask too much detail, and when he heard that he was evicted, he knew that it would not be a good thing, so it was no wonder that Ferding would come to live in a remote place like Winter Village.

The two of them soon came to the cafeteria, pushed open the door of the cafeteria and stepped in, and the warm heat hit Addis's face, making his face that was about to be frozen instantly 'live': "It's so hot!" ”

Looking left and right, there were many people sitting in this vast canteen, everyone greeted David warmly when they saw him come in, and Ardis stood at the door and watched for a while, and could see that these new villagers had great respect for David, the village chief.

"Why is it so warm in here?"

"Because of that." David pointed to the radiators installed around the house: "It's a heating device called a radiator, which allows people in the village to not have to worry about the cold outside. ”

"Good stuff!" Although he didn't understand how this thing worked, after experiencing the power of the radiator, Ardis also realized how valuable it was to Winter Village, a village in a cold place.

The villagers don't have to worry about the cold in winter, plus they can produce crops stably and get enough food to live, so ordinary villagers will be willing to live for a long time, so after a few years of life, the villagers will have feelings for this place, really regard this place as their home, and are reluctant to leave.

With hundreds of people willing to stay for a long time, and there is no shortage of artisans among them, David's Winter Village will even become the most prosperous village in the region.

That way, he doesn't seem to have to worry about what happens next year.

"Relieved?"

"Hmm!"

As soon as David saw Ardis, he noticed the sad look on the old hunter's face, and guessed that the news he had heard was not very good for Winter Village.

At this time, after seeing that Ardis no longer looked worried, he guessed that the trouble he would face next year might not be as serious as he had expected.

"Drink some hot soup to warm up your body...... This is Jonah, Laura's friend, now the village cook, and his food is very tasty. By the way, he introduced Jonah to Addis, and then the two of them sat in the far corner of the bar and whispered about the news that Addis had inquired about this time.

According to Attis, after the beginning of spring next year, at least ten or more families will send teams to the northern plains to reclaim land and establish villages.

These families are strong and weak, and some weak families will also unite with other families, anyway, the nobles of Iron Tree Fort have acted collectively, at least a few have not acted.

"Most of it is concentrated between Winter Village and Snow Castle."

It's not surprising that most villages would choose this area, and according to the information currently available to Irontree Castle, the area around Winter's Village is relatively safe.

Further south, too close to the Iron Tree Forest, it is likely that the elves will be attacked like the previous pioneer team.

On the eastern side of the Northern Plains, that is, to the east of Snowfield Castle, although there is a vast land, because of the presence of orcs, only a few head irons, or people who have confidence in their own strength, are ready to go to that area to occupy a larger area of land.

"Someone wants to go to the east and establish a village? That way, the elves won't really be able to scare those guys! "The humans of Irontree Fort have been fighting with the elves of the Iron Tree Forest for so many years, and they have always had the upper hand, otherwise Irontree Fort would not have become the largest timber supplier in the Kingdom of Tiran.

The elves in the Iron Tree Forest were helpless against humans, so they watched each other continue to cut down the iron trees, causing the elves' living area to shrink.

"Yes." By the way, Ardis also said the news he had learned from the elves: "So, the elves are ready to take the initiative this time." ”

"Oh! In that case, it's going to be lively. ”

It is normal for the elves to take the initiative to attack, otherwise they will be attacked by the humans of Iron Tree Fort from the southeast and north, and the elves will not have a good life in the future, and they must eliminate the hidden dangers in one direction before the human beings are not stable.

David was curious, after the elves wiped out the human village again this time, would they continue to retreat into the forest, or build a fortress directly to the north of the Iron Tree Forest?

If they retreat into the depths of the forest again, then the humans will continue to build villages here, eating away at the elves little by little.

But if the elves were going to build a fortress, it would be interesting, and the entire northern plain would turn into a multi-force melee between the three races?

"Next year, this otherwise inhospitable plain will be very lively." After taking a few sips of hot soup and warming up, Ardis took off the heavy cloak on his body and turned his head to look at the large number of villagers sitting in the cafeteria: "However, as long as those guys don't unite against us, we don't have to worry about anything." ”

The biggest problem was that it was impossible to recruit more villagers, but now that this problem has been solved, a few hundred people can be counted as a town in the Kingdom of Tiran. As long as these populations are properly utilized, Winter Village can become the largest town in the Northern Plains.

"Now that you have enough population, do you want to submit an application to upgrade Winter Village to Winter Town?"

"I'm already preparing for that." With all the paperwork ready, the next step is to wait for Van Cleef's blueprints, and then the whole village will begin work on upgrading the facilities.

He doesn't even need to wait for the completion of the project, as long as the construction starts and has a rough plan, he can go to Irontree with the relevant documents to apply for an upgrade.

"Iron Tree Castle, maybe I won't be happy to handle this matter for you." Ardis didn't know that Winter Village would grow so quickly before he set out, but he still somehow inquired about the attitude of the nobles of Lower Iron Tree Castle towards Winter Village—not to mention any attitude, most of them ignored this small village.

But if Winter Village wants to be upgraded to Winter Town, these nobles can't be ignored, which means that David will become a nobleman, which means that there are more families in the Northern Plains to grab land and resources, not to mention that there is a family like Forrester who wants to swallow Winter Village.

"So there's a high probability I'm going to go to Wangcheng." After hearing the news that Ardis had returned, David felt that he must go to the royal city: "It just so happens that I haven't been to the royal city yet. ”

"It's not going to travel."

"Not much difference."

When Adis faced David, there was always a feeling that he would be angry at any time, this kid has been like this since he was a child, and the things that others attach great importance to seem to be small things that are not worth caring about in his eyes, he thought that joining the development team would make him 'sober up', but he came back with a big move, which made Ardis very speechless.

"If you're going to the royal city, it's best to ask Laura to help you get a decent set of clothes and more gifts...... Otherwise, I'll go with you next year! ”

"What? Don't worry about me? ”

"Hmmm! Don't worry! ”
