Chapter 82: Prophet David
Ardis was worried that David would go to the royal city to make a big news, but he was worried that he couldn't do anything now, and as time passed, Winter Village ushered in real winter.
"The snow was so heavy that I thought I was in Siberia." Laura stood in front of the window and looked at the wind and snow outside, there was already a lot of snow on the ground, and the villagers of Winter Village were hiding at home, but when they found that the snow was falling endlessly, everyone was forced to come out and move.
Shoveling snow, piling up snow, clearing the snow in front of the house, removing the snow from the roof, everyone is busy, lest the snow trap people in the house or collapse the roof.
Not only ordinary villagers, but even David had to go out of the house from time to time to clear the snow around his cabin.
"As I said before, winter isn't going to be easy here in Winter Village." Compared to the beginning, now there are wooden huts that can shelter from the wind and snow, enough firewood and coal, warm clothes and pants, and endless delicious food, no matter how heavy the wind and snow are, they are only a concoction in life, not a disaster.
"I knew, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful." Lao stretched his hand and patted David's increasingly strong back: "You actually survived two winters in this environment?" ”
"yes, looking back on it now, I can't believe it."
Winter in the village is not only cold and lasts for a long time, but the two winters I have survived before are much shorter than this year's - this year's temperature dropped much earlier than in previous years, and heavy snow came earlier.
"Maybe those two winters are the test for you." Laura felt that it was because of this that David had gained some kind of recognition that had led to those magical abilities.
"Maybe!"
After taking a few sips of hot tea, David saw Leonard and Sheldon running wildly against the wind and snow, and then disappeared at the entrance of the village.
“……”
"What were they doing before?"
"It seems that I want to see if there are electric poles in the village."
"Telephone poles?" Laura was surprised, there was no power supply system here in Winter Village, so why build power poles? Unless...... "They've figured out how to use that crystal ore to power the village?" ”
"Yes."
Since figuring out that the energy in the crystal ore can be directly used, Howard and Sheldon have completed a series of plans in the shortest possible time: including the power plant in Winter Village, the sketch of the power supply line network in Winter Village, the waterworks in Winter Village, the server station in Winter Village and other infrastructure, all of which have been designed by these people.
As for the telephone poles, they were only temporary, and I wanted to connect the village with electricity first.
Howard also had frequent discussions with Van Cleeff to determine how best to integrate these networks with Van Cleef's Bluewinter blueprints to create a perfect city with all the functions in place.
"With electricity, running water, and a 'retro' town, I suddenly had a lot of anticipation for a new city." Laura wonders what kind of city will be built in the end? Is it the kind of city that looks medieval on the outside, but is modern on the inside? Seems pretty good.
"It shouldn't be long before you can see the blueprints."
Even when the snow stops completely, most people in the village can only hide in their homes to keep warm, waiting for the long winter to end.
But David and his group are very busy, dressed like the polar expedition Leonard, Howard, and Raj, have made a complete route map according to the environment around Winter Village, as long as the power plant, water plant, sewage treatment plant and other facilities are built according to this map, not only can ensure the various needs of Winter Town, but when the subsequent expansion is Winter City, it only needs to be extended and expanded according to the predetermined line to meet the needs of a city.
Of course, this refers to the cities of this world, not the megacities of the planet that move millions or tens of millions of people.
Van Cleef also completed the new design drawings, because he often communicated with Shelton, and his design this time set all kinds of lines into it, to ensure that all kinds of lines can be better laid and maintained, and will not affect the aesthetics of the city.
"According to my design, at least until I go beyond this design range, I don't need to worry about the city's various water and electricity supplies." All kinds of lines and pipes will be hidden, and only a special 'station' will be left on the ground at a fixed distance for easy inspection and repair.
In addition, the biggest change in the design is the castle where David himself will live, a two-story building with several stone pillars at the front and back entrances, which is almost painted all white.
"Who designed this?"
Howard, Leonard, and Raj all squinted at the sky, while Sheldon was smug: "How's it going?" Isn't that nice? ”
“……”
Edwin Van Cleef didn't know what it was, he just said that it was a 'simple' structure and less fortified, but it was very comfortable and more suitable for living and David's personal workplace.
As for the offices of the other officials in Winterfell, a separate building could be built elsewhere in the stronghold, but it would certainly not be based on the pentagram design that Sheldon mentioned.
Secretly relieved, David continued to listen to Van Cleef's introduction, feeling that the design was perfect, and there was nothing that needed to be improved.
"Then, according to this design, the preliminary engineering will begin."
"Immediately?"
"You've been idle for a long time, do you want to stay there? I remember you saying that the winters here are long, so why not wait a few more months to start working? Van Cleef couldn't wait, not to mention that there wasn't much labor at hand, and he needed to hurry.
"But it's too cold now, isn't it? And when the land is frozen, you can't start this kind of project, right? ”
"Don't underestimate us craftsmen, if we only compare strength, we are not much worse than those warriors and knights." Edwin Van Cleef is confident in his 200 or so craftsmen: "Moreover, the initial work was to make all kinds of signs in the actual place and start making the building materials that were needed, and when this work was done, perhaps the coldest time had passed. ”
"Well, you're in charge of all these professional things anyway."
"Leave it to me!"
Seeing that Van Cleef looked like he was going to do a big job, David knew that persuasion was useless, so he stopped stopping it.
What's more, the people in the village are indeed a bit idle now, although the winter here in Winter Village is long and the climate is not good, it should not be difficult for these Azeroth people, maybe they will really give themselves a huge surprise after a while.
Just after Van Cleef left, Fordin, who had not been seen for a while, suddenly came to him and glanced at David.
Davy understood, put on his clothes and thick cloak, and walked out of the full dining hall with Fording and came out of the silver-clad outside.
"Which way are you going?"
"Let's go to the other side of the Winter River!" In his hand was Will's warhammer, a long-handled two-handed hammer with a whole blue-purple crystal head as a hammerhead, and he was wearing a suit of armor, but it was hidden by a heavy cloak, and David could only see part of it.
"The armor is beautiful." Although he couldn't see the whole picture clearly, David still praised it: "Varian sent it?" ”
"Yes."
It's been a few months since Van Cleef led the Brotherhood's artisans to join Wintervillage, and Fording has already learned enough about the chronicles and games to begin his plan.
The first step is to help the Stormwind Kingdom get rid of the influence of the black dragon princess Onexia, at this point, Fording did not play any bells and whistles, and directly revealed his identity to find Benedictas, the Holy Light Archbishop of Stormwind City, and the two of them found Varian Ureon together, and then launched a sneak attack on Onexia under the pseudonym Katrana Presto in front of the important ministers of Stormwind City.
With Ferdin's strength, it is simply impossible for the Black Dragon Princess to catch the other party's sneak attack without revealing her identity.
As for Benedictas? No matter what his future holds, he is still the Archbishop of the Holy Light at this time, and he can pretend not to know before, but after the Black Dragon Princess reveals his true identity, he can only firmly shout 'The Holy Light protects me!' Then he joined the crowd that was beating the black dragon.
Faced with the siege of Fordin, Benedictas, Varian, Berval, Wendsol and Stormwind's countless elites, the Black Dragon Princess Onexia tried her best to escape from Stormwind.
"Although Onyxia was not killed on the spot, the Stormwind Kingdom finally got rid of the black dragon's control."
In return, Varian gave Fordin a suit of armor made of barecast iron and many rare metals, and promised to lend a helping hand when the kingdom of Lordaeron was in crisis - not only to repay Fording for breaking the plot of the black dragon, but also to help the kingdom of Lordaeron rebuild the kingdom of Stormwind.
"That black dragon will come back for revenge, right?"
"That's the Stormwind Kingdom." Fording is not from the Stormwind Kingdom, and if you can't help once, you have to help all the time? If the Storm Kingdom is played by the black dragon repeatedly, then they should hurry up and forget about it: "I called you out to talk about this matter alone because someone wanted to see you." ”
"Huh?" David realized that he needed to let Fording deliberately avoid discussing with him alone, and this person's identity was very sensitive: "Varian? ”
"Yes." Fordin paused and looked at the windswept Winter River in front of him, which was more violent than ever: "When Varian asked me why I knew about the Black Dragon's plot and the impending crisis of the kingdom of Lordaeron, I had to use you as an excuse to say that I had met a prophet in a magical place. ”
"You're really going to make excuses!"
"Hahaha, you are indeed a prophet to the people of Azeroth."
