Chapter 118: Welcome to Winter Town

Maybe this behavior would seem like David was a bit overbearing, but he had to.

Whether it is for the future development of Winter Town into Winter City, or to meet His Majesty's expectations to a certain extent, so as to obtain more benefits, he must maximize the development potential of Winter Town as much as possible, and at the same time reduce the sphere of influence of the other nobles of Iron Tree Castle.

"By the way, come with me to the blacksmith's shop." David remembered something, and ran to the blacksmith with the ceremonial officer and the knight of the guard, and found Will who was busy.

"Will."

"Good morning, David." Will put aside the work in his hand, just the daily maintenance of farm tools, and was not in a hurry to finish: "Or, do you want to call you Lord Baron?" ”

"Just be casual." David was speaking to Will, and to the two people behind him.

followed David around Winter Town, and the two of them, who were already nimble, had already realized which people were more special in this small town.

Like Peggy Carter, Mark Watney, and Will Turner in front of him, they are all obviously people who have received special treatment from Lord Baron.

There should be a few more such people, and these few people may be the basis for Lord Baron to maintain the rule of Winter Town? Could you become a local nobleman in Wintertown in the future?

At the same time, these people also have common characteristics, they are all people with surnames, which seems to remind the two of them why these people are more special.

"Is there any urgent work for me?" Will knew that David would not come to the blacksmith shop unless he was in a hurry, and once he ran to the blacksmith shop to find himself, it meant that he had relatively urgent work to complete by himself, otherwise he could wait for dinner to talk to himself casually, and he didn't need to come over.

"I need you to help me make some signs."

"Brand?"

"Yes, rectangular, big enough, with 'Welcome to Winter Town' written on it." David roughly described what he wanted: "Oh, you can add the family crest of Glamorgan. ”

Will quickly understood what David meant, which was a sign: "This thing is not difficult to make, how many pieces should be made?" ”

"One in the south, one in the east, and one in the north......" The west side is the Winter River, so there is no need to make a sign, but after thinking for a few seconds, David asked for another piece: "Make four pieces first." ”

"Okay."

After chatting with Will and knowing that his relationship with Elizabeth was stable and that he was satisfied with his life in Winter Town, David left the blacksmith's shop.

"My lord, that sign is ......"

"That's right." David glanced at Floyd, and the knight reacted quickly: "Next, you and Gareth will be responsible for inserting these signs in the right places." ”

There is no such sign here in the Kingdom of Tiran that reminds people to enter what village and what town to enter, and the boundaries between villages have always been blurred, and there have been many conflicts such as the land of our village and the water in the river belongs to our village, and the people of your village are not allowed to use it.

The solution is usually to find a higher-level official to mediate; Or just hit it! Whoever has the big fist has the final say!

The former is the most common option for territorial conflicts between villages; The latter was a common solution to disputes over domains between nobles.

Of course, the solution between the nobles by force is not necessarily that both sides pull up troops and horses to fight, and in many cases, the two nobles send people to duel to divide the victory, so as to avoid a large number of casualties and avoid attracting the dissatisfaction of the upper echelons of the kingdom.

But no matter how it is resolved, the specific boundaries between the territories have never been clearly defined.

The generally accepted boundaries are based on the actual control area of the territory, that is, wherever the buildings and farmland in your territory are covered, which piece of land belongs to you, at most giving you an extra point of expansion, at most an additional 100 meters, not more.

According to this custom, it would be unreasonable for David to send soldiers to evict people far away and not let people build villages on wasteland.

So, David decided to use this method: doesn't it mean that the building is built where it counts? I'm going to put up a sign and build a simple sentry next to it, right?

The sentry is also very simple, he doesn't plan to build a pavilion or anything, just get a wooden board or something, put it under the billboard, and engrave the words "Sentry in the South (East, North) Department of Winter Town."

Anyway, the buildings in my winter town have been built here, and according to the custom, you can't build new villages and towns near my territory, otherwise you will be considered to be encroaching on my territory.

If it were a normal situation, the nobles of Irontree would definitely not pay attention to David's shameless behavior, but the key issue now is that Winter Town is a direct territory of His Majesty, and Baron Glamorgan is directly loyal to His Majesty.

The nobles of Irontree could not take David seriously, but would they dare to offend His Majesty's domain?

David wondered if these nobles of Irontree had the courage?

"My lord, is the fourth sign ready to ......?"

"That's right, it's going to be inserted northeast of Wintertown." David remembered that the Forrester family had sent someone to frame him.

He wasn't prepared to just leave it at that, now that he has the law and strength, if he doesn't go to meet that Sheehan Forrester, will he wait for him to disgust himself first?

After asking Will to help make the signage, David went to a carpenter from the Rough Stonemasons' Guild and told the carpenter his request: a wooden round board about one meter in diameter, on which was to be carved the northern sentry of Winter Town; The northeast sentry post of the winter town and other words.

The carpenter said that such a simple job can be completed quickly, and the mayor can rest assured!

The task was arranged, and it was already noon, David took the people to the cafeteria to have a bite to eat, and then returned to his cabin to learn aristocratic etiquette with Elias.

If it weren't for the fact that David's cabin wasn't big enough, it might have attracted a large crowd of onlookers, but in the end, only Laura managed to stay in the cabin, and even Freud, the knight of the guard, could only stand guard outside the cabin when David was in an etiquette class.

This treatment made the two close ministers realize one thing: they thought that Sharon was the other half of the baron, but now it seems that they have guessed wrong!

Since returning to Wintertown, Sharon has not been in contact with David, but this woman named Laura Crawford has shown great intimacy with the Baron.

Compared to Freud, who could only stand guard outside the door, Elias also noticed another thing: this young woman named Laura seemed to have a very extraordinary background, and that aristocratic temperament was not something that ordinary people could 'pretend'.

"What the hell is going on in this winter town?"

Vaguely, he felt that he might have fallen into the whirlpool of conspiracy, but Elias didn't dare to ask anything, so he could only hold all kinds of questions in his heart, hoping that he could spend the year in peace.

What makes him happiest now is that Baron David Glamorgan's study of aristocratic etiquette has gone well, and in the opinion of Elias, the etiquette officer, Baron David Glamorgan has been able to cope well with most social situations in just one lesson.

The hour-long etiquette class was over quickly, and David was going to practice archery, firearms, hand-to-hand combat, and some cold weapon work.

Elias couldn't see anything in this regard, but was curious about the weapon called a firearm, which was practiced with normal ammunition.

David didn't deliberately shy away from the two, both of them are currently his own people, they live in Winter Town, and they will find these things sooner or later.

As for Elias's return to the royal capital in the future? By that time, the people of the royal capital should also know that there is a 'unique' weapon called a firearm in Winter Town.

At the shooting range, David met Lyon again.

"Peggy should have explained everything, right?"

"Yes!" Leon nodded, and after Peggy's guidance and his own inquiry, he now knew enough about Winter Village.

Compared to when I first arrived, Lyon now feels more magical. At the same time, he was determined to build a holiday home here: "However, it seems that you are remodeling here, and it is not suitable for a new house. ”

"If you just build a small wooden house as a temporary shelter, it's a very simple thing, and you can build it in a few days." David explained to Leon: "If you want to build a luxury villa big enough, you won't be able to build it in a short time. ”

It's not just the building materials and manpower that are still being laid, and now all kinds of sewage pipes, water pipes, electrical wiring, etc. are still being laid, and Lyon doesn't have a suitable place to build a luxury villa.

"Then let's build a log cabin first, and as for what kind of holiday house to build in the future, I'll talk about it later." Leon's words can be regarded as a statement to David that he hopes to live in Winter Town permanently.

"Welcome to Wintertown." Shake Leon's hand again, but the meaning is completely different from before: "Trust me, this will be the best choice you have ever made." ”

"I think so too." Peggy led the tour for a long time, and after chatting for so long, Leon had already heard a lot about Winter Town, including the situation of Fording and Laura.

Both of them used the magical place of Winter Town to solve the troubles they encountered in their own world.

It just so happens that Leon's world is not very peaceful, and if he can live in Winter Town permanently, it means that he will have a strong guarantee when he encounters trouble in the future.

Not to mention anything else, just being able to run to Winter Town to replenish weapons and ammunition when he was being chased by biochemical weapons would be quite helpful to him.

Moreover, after learning about the magical power of the Holy Light and its ability to heal injuries, he thought of his partner who had been seriously injured during a mission with him not long ago.

If he could, he would like to ask David for his comrade's help in treating his comrade's battered arm.
