Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 17 Side of the couch

  Waving his arms, the golden sacred fire spewed out, and a huge bonfire appeared in front of the mine again, reflecting the already dark depths of the forest like daylight.

  The power of the sacred fire did not disappoint David, and it was worthy of the gorgeous and dazzling sound and light effects.

  With just one move, the huge monster fell to the ground, and the weird scarlet light from before also dissipated under the baking of the sacred fire.

   Waited cautiously for a while, and after confirming that the monster was completely dead, David dissipated the sacred fire wrapped in his hand, turned around and looked at Laura who was speechless: "It's amazing, isn't it?"

"Fantastic." Although she was a little speechless about David's second move, Laura nodded. After all, one move instantly killed a monster that could resist several shotguns. The power of David's move is really strong: "But... Isn't this spell called Holy Fire? Why is it called Li Baiba Style: Big Snake?"

   "Orochi is a very powerful move, it can better release the sacred fire, there is no conflict between them."

  David blurted out a few words casually, and didn't want to say too much in this regard.

  For him, there is no essential difference between directly releasing the holy fire and using the 'Orochi'. They both release a large amount of holy fire to attack the target. After all, he doesn't understand Orochi at all, and he doesn't know the details of the authentic Orochi in use, unless Kusanagi Kyo or Kusanagi Chaizhou come to Rinwinter Village someday.

"Let's leave now before attracting more monsters!" Looking at the extinguished flames, there were already two charred monsters lying on the ground. He wondered if this mine was the spawning point for giant monsters. , Why do I encounter this kind of monster every time I come here.

   "You're right, it's too unsafe here." Laura also had similar thoughts, and moved quickly towards the south of the forest with David.

  Even if you have any questions, you can wait until you return to Cold Winter Village to ask.

  There was no accident on the road this time, and the two walked out of the forest smoothly and returned to Lindong Village.

  Looking at Mark and Fording sitting at the long table chatting, David and Laura let out a sigh of relief.

   Noticing the situation of the two, the experienced Fording immediately guessed that the trip of the two was not going well, and they should have encountered some enemies.

   After a few more careful observations, Fording determined that the two of them were not injured through their complexion and action posture. Knowing that this trip was safe at best, he was relieved.

   "Sit down and rest for a while, I'll help you heat up your dinner and talk while you eat."

   "I'm sorry to trouble you, Tirion." David and Laura took off all the things they were carrying and put them aside, then sat at the wooden table and waited for dinner.

  Mark poured two glasses of water for the two, and asked curiously, "Is it good news or bad news?"

   "All of them." After drinking the water in the cup in one gulp, David felt that he had gained a lot from exploring the depths of the forest: "The good news is that we don't have to worry about the revenge of the wolves anymore."

   "Oh?" Although Mark doesn't need to go hunting far from the village, even if he stays in the village all the time, he still has the risk of being attacked by wild animals. Of course it is a good thing not to worry about the threat of wolves.

  But David just said that there is good news and bad news. Judging from the expressions of the two people just now, it is estimated that things are not that simple.

   "The bad news will be told when Fording comes back."

   "Then you two rest first, I will help Tirion." Mark was not in a hurry, got up and went to help Fording.

Although with the arrival of Mark and Laura's return to her hometown in England, the various supplies in Winter Village have become much richer, but they did not make it too complicated and extravagant for dinner, and they still used stew , barbecue-based.

   Soon the hot potato stew was served. With the French ammunition provided by Laura and some bagged food provided by Mark, a simple dinner was placed on the table.

   Eating the stew, David recounted in detail what happened to him and Laura today, and Fording and Mark, who were sitting across the table, learned about the whole situation.

   "Troll?" Listening to David and Laura's description, Fording thought of a creature in the world of Azeroth: "It sounds like a snow monster."

  Hearing that David could kill this creature simply and neatly with the holy fire, he felt that the threat of this creature should not be too great, at least not to himself.

   "Can't communicate?" Mark Watney's focus is different from Fording's. What he thinks is that since the other party is an intelligent life, maybe he can try to communicate? However, judging from the descriptions of Laura and David, it seems that this giant monster directly attacked them as soon as it saw them, and it seemed that it had no intention of communicating with them.

   "Maybe..." David dipped the bread into the broth a few times: "But at present, it seems that the other party has no intention of communicating with us."

In his heart, he is more inclined to destroy these giant monsters. After all, the opponent's village is too close to Lindong Village. When the opponent is in front of him, he passively meets the enemy.

Chewing the gravy-filled bread and thinking for a few seconds, David let go of the entanglement that had just arisen, so he didn't worry about being questioned whether he was too cruel. The troll launched an attack when he saw him and Laura, and from then on From the moment this creature was included in the group of hostile creatures by David.

"In short, we now have a group of vicious neighbors, the kind that are much more dangerous than wolves." David made a brief summary: "It seems that if you want to develop a life in this place, you will have more trouble than previously expected .”

   "If you really want to grow Cold Winter Village, these are all things you have to go through." Fording looked at David, suddenly a little curious about how far this young man can finally achieve.

   At first, Fording just wanted to find a place where no one knew him to live in seclusion. Although he came to another world inexplicably, the situation here just met his needs, so he chose to live here.

  In addition, David showed an amazing talent for the Holy Light. He felt that it would be a good thing to be able to spread the way of the Holy Light in another world, and he taught David about the Holy Light by the way.

  Even if David had already expressed his desire to develop Cold Winter Village at that time, he didn't take it too seriously.

  He simply listened to some of David's descriptions, and he knew that it was not so easy to develop this village.

  In Fording's view, perhaps David can rely on the help of people from various worlds to establish Cold Winter Village and become a village officially recognized by the Kingdom of Tilan, and David can also become an official village head.

   But if you want to go further, it is very difficult, even impossible.

Not only the various troubles in the objective environment, but also David's own factors. From the current point of view, David is just a young hunter with an ordinary background. Fording doesn't think he has the ability to develop a village into a larger town .

  In Fording's original idea, David's ability to run a small village well is already a manifestation of outstanding talent.

However, David's "decisiveness" after discovering the giant monster village today made Fording change his mind a little: not everyone can clean up the "hostile forces" completely in such a situation. This kind of decision.

  Not to mention a young man from an ordinary background who has never been a manager. Many lords who have ruled a place for many years will hesitate and do not know how to make a decision when they encounter similar situations.

   "Maybe, this young man can really develop this village?"

  David didn't know what Fording was thinking, he was organizing words in his heart, and wanted to ask Fording to help. As a result, before he could speak, Fording had already offered to make a move.

   "I live very comfortably in Cold Winter Village, but I don't want to be disturbed by a group of giant monsters. I will go to the forest tomorrow to get rid of these giant monsters."

  According to Fording, he was responsible for solving the troll issue alone.

  David didn't really let Fording go alone. He was also the village head of Cold Winter Village after all. How could he stay out of such a big threat to eliminate the threat near the village.

   As for Laura and Mark - Watney, one is to travel adventure, one is just a botanist, this kind of **** work is not suitable for them.

   Both of them are smart people. They understood that Fording and David didn't tell them that they were taking care of them, and they didn't say anything because of their own situation.

   "Rest well tonight, tomorrow we will go to the forest together."

   Following Fording's words, there is no need to discuss the matter of the trolls anymore. There is only one ending for them, which is to be eliminated by Tirion Fording.

The same is true. The next day, David and Fording came to the simple village where the giant monsters lived, and found that these giant monsters really did not have half the willingness to communicate. After rushing up to attack, Tirion Fording showed Amazing fighting power.

  From the beginning to the end, Fording did not use the holy light, but killed all these giant monsters with the two-handed epee that Laura gave him.

  In addition to admiring Lafayette's valiant and heroic posture at close range, and improving his combat experience with cold weapons through observation, David didn't even have many opportunities to cast auxiliary holy light spells, and he almost shouted "666" next to him.

Even if the last giant monster, which was bigger than the other giant monsters and was obviously the leader, had a more dazzling blood-red light on its body after a roar, it couldn't last long in Fording's hand, and soon fell down. on the ground.

Not much time has passed since the two came to the giant monster's village and the battle ended. If someone who doesn't know the truth sees this battle, they may pray in their hearts: "Come on, giant with white hair all over the body!" Monsters!"

   Fording, who had completely cleaned up the giant monster, was standing in front of the stone tablet with David at this time, frowning at the slightly **** light emanating from it.

   "This altar does not seem to be a good thing."
