Age of Empires From Scratch

this……

Seeing the stupid look on this guy's face, David recognized what it was at a glance—isn't this the famous stupid Jenny Turtle? Then his head was filled with question marks: How did this thing appear here?

He thought of a possibility that this Squirrel, like Laura, Fording and Mark, came to him from another world.

What's a little special is that those people are all human beings, and they made contact with David in the first place; but this guy is not a human being, and he ran to live by the river by himself?

So, when did this jenny come? David originally thought that the Squirrel had not been here for a long time, but soon thought of another possibility: maybe this little guy has been living here for a while.

Not long after Laura first appeared, Fording appeared!

After these two lived in Winter Village for a period of time, Mark Watney appeared, and no newcomers appeared after that, at least David thought so at that time.

He originally thought that there were no rules for visitors from other worlds, but now he felt that his judgment might be wrong, maybe...probably...Jenny Turtle came to Cold Winter Village with Mark? This happens to be a pair of two (?) appearing, in line with a certain law.

David didn't rule out other possibilities. Anyway, as long as his village continues to exist, as the number of people coming from other worlds increases, sooner or later he will know exactly what's going on.

This blue turtle seems to be very smart, and it looks very interesting. When David was in a daze, Maloney and Jenny looked at each other for a while, and suddenly felt that this thing is very interesting. If it can be brought back, it should be Not bad: Major David mind if I take one back?

Maloney simply thought that this was a characteristic creature of the Winter River. Usually, when he saw an animal of interest in the countryside, he just caught it and it was over.

Facing David, he was very polite. After all, in his speculation, David's identity was very special. He would not treat David as an ordinary civilian or a village head, but put David in the on an equal footing with oneself.

Huey and Cavalier Hackett have noticed Maloney's attitude in the past two days. Although they don't understand why, they understand that even Lord Maloney Mansfield treats people politely. Affordable existence.

Therefore, this group of official masters who came to Lindong Village from Iron Tree Fort were very kind, and they were very polite when talking to anyone in Lindong Village. Even if the living environment was a bit worse, no one expressed dissatisfaction.

Even so, when the knight Hackett saw that Maloney had to ask David's opinion even for catching a turtle, he was still taken aback, and began to think in his heart that he should not have offended the village chief during this period of time Bar?

David looked at Maloney, then at the Squirrel Turtle, and he didn't know how to answer Maloney's question, so he could only say, It's the first time I've seen this kind of blue turtle... ...If Lord Mansfield is interested, he is free to do so.

He didn't think Maloney could catch the Squirtle. This thing only looked silly, but it was actually very smart and possessed good fighting power.

Call me Maloney. Maloney nodded with a smile, still standing where he was.

How could it be possible for Maloney Mansfield to do things like catching pets himself? When David expressed his attitude and Maloney nodded his thanks, Huey, who was an attendant, walked towards the Squirrel.

Although it looks simple, the Squirtle is not as simple as it looks on the outside. After realizing that the danger is approaching him, he turned around and jumped into the Winter River, and swam to a safe enough distance in a blink of an eye. , then revealed his round blue head, made faces at the people on the bank, and finally opened his mouth to spray a lot of clear water, pouring Huey a chill.

... Huey looked at the blue turtle that had swam far away, and then at himself who was a little bit embarrassed, thinking whether he could catch this blue turtle that can spray people with water by jumping into the river?

Hahahaha! Looking at his attendant's slightly embarrassed appearance, Maloni was not angry because of his 'incompetence'. After all, this blue turtle showed extraordinary performance. It seems that this should be a kind of monster. : Okay, Huey, it seems that you can't catch that little guy, hurry up and change into clean clothes!

I'm sorry to disappoint my lord.

Maloney waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about such a trivial matter: Go and change quickly, I don't want the only servant around me to get sick.

Huey said goodbye and went back to the village to change and probably wash off.

Maloney stood on the bank and looked into the river, but he couldn't find the turtle anymore. He didn't mind an interesting creature slipping past his eyes, although the turtle was certainly interesting.

David, you chose the location of Winter Village really well. Maloney is not a nobleman who only studies and has fun. No matter how interesting the tortoise is, he only pays his attention for a short while, and soon his attention turns to other things. things.

Looking at the vast river in front of him, where he could hardly see the opposite bank, he felt that the development potential of Lindong Village was great. Apart from the vast enough northern plains, there were more places to explore, and even with the convenience of water transportation, it was easier and quicker. To find out the situation in the lower reaches of the Winter River.

It's a pity that I didn't consider this aspect this time. Although the few people brought by Maloney will record the Cold Winter River, they can at most collect the situation on the east bank, which is where the Cold Winter Village is located. It is impossible to cross the Winter River to investigate the geographical situation on the west bank: Also, Iron Tree Fort probably won't send people to investigate the situation there in a short time.

If you want to check the situation on the west bank, you have to cross the river. Taking into account various manpower, materials, possible risks, speed of evacuation, etc., there are certain requirements for the transportation capacity of the ship.

In addition, the Winter River does not have a tributary directly leading to Iron Tree Fort, and the ships must be built on the side of the Winter Village, which means that manpower must be dispatched, and the shipyard must be built in the Winter Village; It takes a long time to digest, no matter how you look at it, there is no need to spend effort to cross the river.

David didn't answer. He didn't think about the situation on the other side of the river for the time being. In the future, if he has the conditions and ability, he can consider building a Golden Gate Bridge, which can also be used as one of the landmarks of Winter City.

After chatting about the Winter River for a while, Maloney went back to the village. He came here to work, so it was impossible to maintain a relaxed state all the time. Those two men and soldiers would go to investigate the Winter Village. Surrounding geographic conditions, but need to report to Maloney after record summary.

When Maloney felt that the information was almost collected, he would give the order to return.

As for whether Lindong Village is a qualified village? This is no longer a problem!

Watching Maloney walking towards the village, David didn't hurry to go back together. Instead, he randomly found a place by the river that looked okay and sat down, looking at the river and thinking wildly.

I don't know how long it took, but anyway, the sun was still emitting heat above his head, and David's thoughts were broken by the sound of splashing water.

Looking at the blue round head sticking out of the water, David waved his hands and said hello: Hi~

The Squirrel and David looked at each other for a while, and finally stretched out their short 'front paws', waved their hands in the water, and finally showed a very silly smile.

Ha ha!

I have to admit that the Squirtle is really interesting, even just looking at this little thing makes people feel happy. David thought that this little thing might not know how he came to him, so he just sat in the winter He Bian talked a lot as if talking to himself, explaining in detail how to leave this world freely and how to return to Cold Winter Village.

Knowing that the Squirrel could understand, he waved to the Squirrel again after speaking: If you can't find anything to eat, you can go to the village... It's best to come back after those people leave.

The Squirrel was still soaking in the water, and didn't respond to David's previous words, as if he didn't understand. It wasn't until after this sentence that he nodded abruptly and replied: Jenei, Jenny!

Standing up to wipe off the dirt on his buttocks, David also turned and walked towards the village, but he did not go into the village, but stayed on the side of the wooden house at the outermost edge of the village, which was originally used as the kitchen and warehouse. Wooden house, what are you waiting for next to the wooden house.

David didn't wait too long, a shadow appeared not far in front of him, and then gradually became solid, and Laura, who was carrying a bag of potatoes, appeared in front of David.

Laura, who was carrying a large bag of potatoes, did not greet David, but looked down at her empty left hand, and then shook her head with David helplessly: I didn't bring the chicken.

I see.

Laura went home today when Maloney's subordinates led soldiers to investigate the surrounding area and were not in the village, and made an appointment in advance about the time to be used. David came here to guard when the time was about to avoid What an accident.

In this case, chickens, ducks and other poultry will need to be added to the deal with Gregory.

I think it's enough to replace more chickens. Laura thinks it may be easier to raise only chickens, and pigs and sheep, including milk, can be purchased directly: Also, livestock such as pigs and sheep are not easy to transport.

Although I took two horses as a deposit in advance, if I want to transport livestock such as pigs and sheep, it is better to have a car, but there are no horses or ox carts in Lindong Village now.

The next step is to wait for Lord Maloney to finish inspecting the surroundings of the village, and for Fording to return. When Fording comes back, the inspection work of Cold Winter Village and its surroundings should be over: Then I will go to another place. A trip to Iron Tree Fort...will you go with me this time?

No, I won't go to Iron Tree Fort with you this time, I have some things to do.
