Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 39 Strong Woman Laura

   "Who will the other be? When will it be?"

  David, who was full of expectations, failed to wait for the answer, but was caught by Laura to help organize things.

   "What's all this?"

   "Jungle clothing, polar clothing, diving suits, weapons, ammunition, medicines, climbing tools, fire tools, food, water..." Laura pointed to the piles of things in front of her and introduced them to David.

  All kinds of equipment piled up Laura's cabin, and it was hard to find a place to stay.

  David stood at the door of the wooden house, looking at the pile of equipment in the house, he was speechless: "Rinwinter Village has become your portable supply station?"

   "Yes!" Laura readily admitted, and gave David a sweet smile: "And you, a priest who can use holy light to heal, protect, and buff people."

   "Ha!" David really wanted to complain, but unfortunately I couldn't save it, but he swallowed it back. After all, it didn't sound very auspicious: "By the way, do you want to try that thing you said before?"

   "Holy light?"

   "Yes." David had promised Laura a long time ago that he would share some of the power of the Holy Light into Laura's body, so that Laura could experience what it was like to use the Holy Light.

   "Already know how to do it?" Speaking of this matter, Laura's interest came, and she didn't care about the various equipment that hadn't been sorted out, and asked herself what she should do?

   "Try it simple first." Moved the things that were placed everywhere in the room to make room for Laura to sit cross-legged, and then David sat opposite Laura: "Hold my hands."

  Laura spread out her hands, watching David curiously put his hands on her open palms.

   “Really feel the flow of energy.”

  Following David's voice, a warm current appeared in Laura's palm, slowly flowing along the arms into the body.

"What a magical feeling." Laura watched as her hands were covered by a ball of golden light, and then slowly moved towards her body. The place covered by the light was warm, as if the whole body was illuminated by warm sunlight. Don't worry about getting sunburned: "Is this the Holy Light?"

It was completely different from the feeling of being protected by the holy light released by David at the time. At that time, Laura had no special feeling at all, only when she was attacked, the golden light would flash on her body, and this light was fleeting, which made her It's hard to feel anything special.

  It was different at this moment, she could clearly feel a wave of energy pouring into her body, slowly spreading to all parts of her body.

   Not long after, Laura's whole body was shrouded in holy light, and soon the light gradually faded until it disappeared. At the same time, Laura felt the warm and comfortable feeling in her body gradually disappear. This change made her stunned for a moment: "Is this a failure?"

   "It's not a failure, you already have the holy light in your body, but you must learn how to mobilize and use this power."

"what should I do?"

"this…"

  David thought about it, and found that he didn't know what to do in Laura's situation.

He obtained the holy light directly at the beginning, and there was no difficulty in mobilizing and using it. There is no such problem faced by Laura: "Maybe you should ask Fording, he must know how to mobilize the holy light that has been stored in the body. "

Theoretically speaking, Laura's current situation is very close to the blood knights created by the elves of Quel'Thalas. Those elves extract the holy light possessed by the holy light life like Naaru, and then store it in their bodies. And then obtained the same ability as human paladins.

The disadvantage is that when the blood knights release the holy light spell, they can only rely on the holy light stored in their own bodies. Don't expect the help of the "outside holy light". City, drawn from Naaru again.

  The same is true for Laura. The holy light in her body is exhausted, and there is no way to 'recover it on its own'. If you want to replenish it, you can only come to David.

However, this small problem is not a problem for Laura at all. What she needs to solve most now is "using skills". After all, Laura is different from elves. The elves in Quel'Thalas have a wealth of arcane energy. With experience, few races are better than this group of elves in using energy, so they can use this kind of tricky method to cultivate bleeding knights.

   "By the way, the presence of holy light in your body now means that you can safely and boldly carry out some exercises beyond the limit."

"What do you mean? Laura didn't realize the meaning of David's words suddenly, and then she realized that she had seen with her own eyes how David usually exercises. Many items are beyond the level that ordinary humans can bear: "Can I exercise like you too? "

   "Exactly."

  With the protection of the Holy Light, Laura can squeeze her body's potential more boldly. Even if Laura can't learn how to use the Holy Light stored in her body, this alone can make her stronger.

   "I'm going to try."

   "You don't need to organize your equipment?"

"If you are right, I can carry out more severe training, then I can wait for a while before starting." Laura's idea is very simple. If David's judgment is correct, then she is going to improve her physical fitness Start after a grade.

When the time comes, with sufficient logistics supplies and the protection of the Holy Light, she feels that she can calmly deal with all kinds of troubles that may arise. After all, she already knows that there are also mysterious forces in her world. Who knows what weird things she will encounter at that time? situation?

"If I train stronger, can I move heavier things here?" Laura's mind turned quickly. Apart from being able to better deal with danger, she also thought of another benefit: "Even if you can't lift a car, a motorcycle shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

"..." David remembers that the weight of a motorcycle is between 150 kilograms and 250 kilograms, depending on the brand and type, but even the lightest one cannot be lifted by ordinary people. ? Not to mention lifting it up and walking around.

  If Laura gets to that level...

  Laura, who was strolling back and forth in the village holding a motorcycle, flashed in David's head, and the picture was a bit hard to look directly at.

  He is crazy here to supplement the various strange behaviors of the strong woman Laura Crawford. Laura has already gone to Fording to learn how to use the holy light. By the way, she is considering whether to build a gym here in Winter Village.

  David watched Laura run towards the forest to the north, and when he was free again, he sat back at the table.

Mark should have just returned from Mars, and he seems to have taken a bath on Mars—these alien villagers in Winter Village, like Laura and Mark, can go to another place to solve personal problems at any time. The infrastructure is not too dependent.

  However, with the increase in the population of Cold Winter Village, various facilities must be built.

David and Mark discussed a few things about public toilets and wells. Mark felt that the problem of the toilet was easy to solve, but Laura needed to provide some building materials. Otherwise, with the materials from Cold Winter Village, the toilet built would have many problems. .

   "Let me talk to Laura...Where is Laura?"

   "She went to find Fording, and you can talk to her about it after dinner... In fact, don't worry, Laura should stay here recently."

  Mark looked surprised. He remembered that Laura said that he was going back to his own world to deal with some things recently: "Didn't you say you were going out to deal with some things?"

   "The timetable of the travel plan was adjusted due to some circumstances." David did not hide it from Mark, telling him that Laura wanted to use the magic of the Holy Light to improve her physical fitness.

   "Is there such an operation?" Mark didn't expect such a good thing, but after looking at David, he didn't make any similar requests. He is not stupid, he can see that the relationship between Laura and this village head David has changed long ago, and he can only secretly hate himself for being a rough old man: "It's a pity~"

Mark's exaggerated expression made David feel very speechless. He really wanted to say that he was not that kind of person, but he felt that his words were not convincing. After all, he had never considered giving Mark the Holy Light. Wrong.

   "At this time, in order to prove your fairness, shouldn't you take the initiative to offer me a little bit of the Holy Light?"

   "I've been drained by Laura, I'll talk about it when I recover." David saw that Mark was joking, so he answered with a smile.

However, in order to avoid the situation of "telling the truth in a joking way", which would cause conflicts, David sincerely added: "After Laura has initially mastered the Holy Light, I will help you master the Holy Light." .”

  Mark saw that David's last sentence was serious, and he didn't say anything, because he was really interested in mysterious power: "Then it's settled."

   Just when Mark said this, David seemed to feel something in a trance, and he didn't know if he was dizzy from the sun that was getting hotter and hotter?

  Thinking of a certain possibility, David thought it would be better to check around: anyway, as the village head, it is his job to often check the situation in the village.

  As soon as he stood up, David saw a phantom that had just appeared.

   "Hey, someone is here...is Will back?" Mark also noticed the phantom not far away, and he wanted to know if the little Caribbean blacksmith had returned? Of course, it could be someone else—because there are consecutive examples, everyone guesses that the newcomer may appear in pairs.

   "Maybe!" David wasn't sure either. Before the figure became solid, he couldn't see anything clearly, not even a hint.

   While David and Mark were full of expectations and waiting for the answer to be revealed, an unexpected situation happened: another phantom appeared next to the previous phantom.

   "This... there will definitely be newcomers."
