Edwin Van Cleeff, leader of the Stonemasons' Guild and founder of the Brotherhood of Defia, trained by MI7 in the Stormwind Kingdom, is an accomplished Assassin, Rogue and Intelligence Officer.

After designing the perfect Winter Fortress, Edwin's main job now is to oversee the progress and quality of the project, and ensure that this new, cross-generational Winter Fortress can be built perfectly.

During the construction period, he still had plenty of free time, and by the way, helping the mayor of the town, who had become Baron Glamorgan, to monitor the group of newcomers for any dishonest behavior, it was not a difficult task for him.

Elias Parker, Ceremonial Officer; Pro-Guard Knight Gareth Stanton; Freud, the knight of the guard; pharmacist Cordel; alchemist Pierre Newton; Plus ten newly recruited soldiers.

These people are the objects that Edwin needs to focus on for the next period of time.

After Davy handed over the investigation to Edwin Van Cleef, he never mentioned these things to anyone else, but asked Eva how the newcomers' quarters were arranged.

The two knights of the guard would live with the soldiers in a large wooden hut, and the vacant cabin was given to the ceremonial officer and the apothecary.

The old alchemist Pierre Newton is actually a guest, and he may not stay in Winter for long, and he is currently David's short-term advisor, spending the night in Jonah's hotel.

It is said to be a hotel, but in fact, it is the same as Will's blacksmith shop, with an exclusive living area for Jonah, and the space is relatively large, so it is not a problem to stay for a few people.

"What's the reaction?"

"It's fine." Eva pondered the reactions: "They didn't show any dissatisfaction for the time being. ”

"Usually you can observe more and see if they show some dissatisfaction." If someone is dissatisfied, David will not be unhappy, he will only want to figure out the reason for the dissatisfaction.

If Wintertown is not doing well enough in some aspects, it can be regarded as providing him with a direction for improvement;

If he simply doesn't like Winter Town, David won't be embarrassed by the other party, and everyone will get together and disperse.

"I know how to do it."

"During this time, the village ...... How's it going in town? ”

"As the temperature gradually warmed up during this time, the ground was no longer so hard, so Edwin Van Cleef increased the workload of the craftsmen, seemingly wanting to finish the basic underground facilities as soon as possible."

After the underground facilities are completed, and the foundation is laid, the construction of various buildings begins: "The white ...... The foundations of the Winter Fortress have already been laid, and it may be the first building to be completed. ”

David rolled his eyes, but when he heard that the foundation of his house had been laid, he began to look forward to when the house that belonged to him would be completed.

"At the current pace, maybe it will be completed by the end of the year?"

"So fast?" Although the craftsmen are all steel humans, the speed of construction is still amazing, after all, this time it is not an ordinary wooden house, but a huge structure equivalent to a palace: "What about the others? ”

At present, the most important work of Winter Town is the overall construction project, and there is nothing so-called to do anything before the completion of various buildings.

Therefore, after asking about the progress of the construction and whether there were any problems, David asked about the situation of the people.

Eva introduced everyone in every detail, she is usually warm and friendly, and she can be friends with most of the people in Winter Town, so she knows the situation of everyone best.

Peggy Carter was in charge of staying in Winter during this time, and she reduced the amount of time she spent exercising each day and instead patrolled the surroundings to make sure Winter Town was not threatened.

During David's absence, there weren't many people who came to invade Wintertown, so Peggy only killed a few beasts that had escaped to feed.

Mark is dedicated to learning new knowledge, returning to the Mars base every day to maintain contact with the earth, and taking Jenny Turtle around in his free time, like a slicker on the first street in winter.

However, with the arrival of spring and the rising temperatures, he is about to start the new year, and it is said that he has prepared many fruit seeds.

Will spends his days at the blacksmith's shop, mainly crafting ammunition from crystal powder and repairing various tools for the craftsmen, and in his free time, he goes to Port Royal to meet Elizabeth.

A circle was introduced, and only at the end were Ferding and Steve mentioned.

"Tirio is fighting the Scourge in the Valley of the Hearth, and has been stopping by occasionally lately to report his safety, stopping by Will's blacksmith to get some powerful ammo." Eva finally said of Steve: "As for Steve, he seems to have something to do with you. ”

"Has Steve been here today?"

"He was gone not long before you came back."

"Oh!" I missed it today, and I don't know what Steve is looking for himself?

However, through Eva's report, he knew that during his absence, everything was normal in Winter Town, the villagers were not dissatisfied, and their partners were doing well.

Only Laura's situation Eva didn't mention it to herself, but after looking at Laura, who was clubbing next to her, there was really no need to ask Eva.

"How did you get black?"

"I went to South America." Laura didn't care about the change in her skin color, she was a person who ran around all day, tanning was too normal, and she was obviously a healthy wheat color: "Finally eliminated that annoying Holy Trinity." ”

"Congratulations!"

As the two spoke, they went to the back of the cabin, and Mark, who had noticed David's movements, followed, and the others came to the back of the cabin.

At the back of David's wooden house, an additional wooden shed was built, which kept the crystal ore - after testing, it was found that the crystal ore did not need sunlight, so an additional wooden shed was built to cover it, so in the eyes of outsiders, this is the warehouse behind the wooden house, and they don't know what is here.

Opening the wooden door, David immediately noticed the change in the crystal ore.

"Huh? More crystals? ”

In addition to David, the other three people saw it. From the beginning, only two crystals were grown at the same time, but now there are two additional crystals, and these two small crystals are growing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye, and it seems that after a while, they will become as big as the two in the middle.

"Did anything similar happen to the crystal mine before I came back?"

"Not at all, I come and check it every day." Mark shook his head affirmatively: "Moreover, I just dug up the crystal ore of the mature body yesterday, and these pieces should have just grown." ”

According to the conclusion of previous observations, only two crystals will grow at a time, and after a certain extent, they will not continue to grow and will not increase in quantity, so Davy will regularly dig down mature crystals.

There must be a reason for such a sudden and noticeable change.

"This change is because you became Baron Glamorgan?"

Mark and Laura immediately thought of the biggest change in Wintertown: Winter's Village became Wintertown on an official level; David became Baron of Glamorgan.

"Maybe ......" Because of the clear reference point of crystal ore, David concluded that the goldfinger upgrade did need to be 'certified'.

After thinking about it a little, it was only after I got the official certification document and returned to the village that I found out that I could bring people over.

Considering that there is no physical upgrade in Winter Town this time - after all, Winter Fortress has not even finished its foundation, but has only received an official certification upgrade.

"Officially recognized? Or is it a deeper level of widespread recognition? ”

The certification of the Kingdom of Tiran, in a way, is recognized by the 'world', because the Kingdom of Tiran is a country that is recognized by all intelligent life on the current Brennia continent, and the appointment within the Kingdom of Tiran will naturally be universally recognized.

Not to mention that David is a village here, even if it is still a wasteland, but the Kingdom of Tiran officially recognizes this as Winter Town, and other intelligent beings on the continent will also recognize this as Winter Town.

If David's guess is not wrong, theoretically speaking, David doesn't have to get the reward of the Tiran Kingdom, if his strength is strong enough, so strong that the intelligent life of the whole continent recognizes the existence of Winter Town, or Winter City, he can also upgrade Goldfinger.

He felt that his guess should be correct, if the certification of the Tiran Kingdom was a must, could it be that the upper limit of the Golden Finger was Winterfell? Do you want to serve the Kingdom of Tiran for the rest of your life? He felt that his golden finger should not be so bad.

Of course, when he was weak in the early stage, there was a Tiran Kingdom in front of him to shelter from the wind and rain, and he only needed to develop and build step by step to upgrade Goldfinger, which was also acceptable.

For example, today's David is like playing a construction and farming game, adjusting the threat of war option to a minimum, and only needs to build and develop the territory with peace of mind.

"Either way, it's all about trying to move in the direction of Winterfell."

By the time it reached the stage of Winterfell, David's strength was strong enough and he knew enough about the world, and at that time, he didn't care about the official recognition of the Kingdom of Tiran - at that time, maybe the Kingdom of Tiran was in a hurry to recognize Winterfell.

Thinking of a bright future, he dug up the four crystals that had matured and handed them to Mark to put away, and David left the wooden shed with Laura and Eva.

Turning back to the front, everyone had already introduced each other, and the newcomers who had been on the road for a day had returned to the previously decided place to rest, and now only Peggy, Sharon, Ardis and other acquaintances were left.

There were no 'outsiders', and these people immediately made jokes about David, congratulating him on becoming Lord Baron Glamorgan, mixed with what to pay allegiance to Lord Baron, to pay tribute to Baron Glamorgan, and so on.

"Speaking of which, are you interested in becoming an official? I've got a bunch of vacancies here! ”

As a result, the people who had said they were loyal to him a second ago shook their heads like rattles.
