Age of Empires From Scratch

"This is David's country?"

Elsa and Anna stood on the roof of Glamorgan Castle, looking at the dense buildings around them, and opened their mouths wide in shock at David's 'true identity'.

She never expected that the handsome young man who saved her (sister) was not an ordinary priest, but a real king.

Well, it seems to be a better match!

Compared with Arendelle, the Winter Kingdom is much bigger, and there are many more residents in the city. Just standing here and seeing the almost invisible houses and the endless stream of people on the street, you can see this point.

"This is just Winter City."

"???"

Both Elsa and Anna looked at Laura with question marks on their faces, wondering what the difference was?

"The kingdom ruled by David is not just a city like Winter City."

Elsa and Anna, who came from a similar city-state era, didn't understand what this meant at all, so Laura took two guests from afar to the study to learn about the geography of the eastern part of the Brunnian continent for the two princesses.

While Laura was taking the two princesses to visit, David was entertaining the newcomers who had just arrived in Winter City yesterday.

"Your Majesty the King, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm John Constantine." The handsome man with short black hair didn't know how to greet the king in front of him. Should he kneel down and salute?

"You're welcome." He raised his hand to signal that the man in front of him didn't need to worry about whether he should kneel down or not. Leaving aside the general situation in Winter City, he couldn't kneel down. Even if there was David, he would make a special case for this man to exempt from those etiquette.

The reason was simple, he didn't want to be remembered by this guy, and he didn't know when he would suddenly be tricked by this guy.

After all, this is the famous Constantine, the most famous scammer in the heavens and myriad worlds. Even if the person in front of him is Shuaikang, who is relatively not so scumbag, David still maintains due caution—if it is a scumbag Kang, David has a very high probability of using expulsion again.

Shuaikang can still stay. Considering that his world has God, Satan and high-ranking angels, it can be said to be a DC parallel universe with a very high limit.

"Do you mind?" After a brief greeting, Constantine revealed his true nature.

He doesn't care about the king or not, he just wants to have a bite now.

"mind."

With David's current situation, it is impossible for second-hand smoke to affect him. He simply doesn't want soot to fall in his front hall.

"What a pity." Constantine inserted the half-drawn cigarette back into the cigarette case and put it away: "Speaking of which, are there any cigarettes here in Winter City?"

"No." David did not engage in any smoking ban, mainly because there was no market demand for it, and David didn't need to rely on this thing to earn money back from the people.

At present, the "currency cycle" in Winter City is relatively healthy, and it has not yet reached the point where officials have a headache about how to circulate money.

After chatting casually with Constantine for a while and answering some questions raised by the other party, Constantine suddenly became curious about something: "I heard that Your Majesty the King is honored as the Lord of the Holy Light."

"so?"

"Is it possible to borrow the power called Holy Light from you after signing a contract with you?"

After Constantine came to this magical place yesterday, he was quickly brought to Glamorgan Castle by Kara, and he was indoctrinated in the common language of Brennia.

After knowing some basic information, Constantine wandered around in Winter City and stayed in the Cathedral of the Holy Light for quite a long time.

There, he saw the magic of the Holy Light, and at the same time knew that His Majesty the King of the Winter Kingdom is the most powerful user of the Holy Light in the world.

Constantine, who was dying of lung cancer, suddenly became active in his mind. He was worried about how to cure his cancer. Maybe he could cure himself with this magical power?

Although he learned from the priest of the Holy Light Cathedral that anyone can learn the power of the Holy Light, but if he was asked to learn such a completely unfamiliar mysterious power step by step, he suspected that he would have died of illness before he could learn it.

So I want to ask, can I sign a contract or something so that I can directly grasp this power?

If His Majesty Glamorgan, the Lord of the Holy Light, is willing to treat himself personally, that would be great!

However, considering that he often had to deal with various demons or other strange things, Constantine felt that if he could learn and master this power, it would be even more helpful.

"If you want to learn the Holy Light, you don't need to sign any contract with me." David was surprised for two seconds, and Constantine didn't just come to Winter City. Now that he knows the Holy Light, doesn't it mean that anyone who doesn't know the Holy Light can do it? study?

Of course, whether you can learn it is another matter.

Immediately, he realized that it wasn't that Constantine didn't understand clearly, but that he had a longer-term plan: he wanted to drag himself into the water!

It's obviously Shuaikang, why is he playing the same tricks as Shuaikang? Should it be said that he really deserves to be Constantine?

Originally, I wanted to say that as long as Constantine was willing to pay the medical expenses, David could help him cure his lung cancer first, so that he would have enough time to study slowly.

As a result, he swallowed the words straight away, realizing that every time this guy Constantine seems to pull people (gods and demons) into the water, he is relying on debts.

"It's so dangerous, I almost fell into the pit."

He simply didn't mention the fact that he can cure diseases, but just reminded Constantine, "If you are interested, you can go to the cathedral to consult Bishop Liadrin." '

Hearing what David said, Constantine didn't express much disappointment. He was just a temporary idea, or he didn't have much hope at the beginning. It doesn't matter whether he can deceive people or not. It is a habitual trick.

Anyway, Winter City has the magical power of the Holy Light, and there are many strong people who have mastered mysterious knowledge, and there are also races who understand advanced technology. It seems that my illness is not terminally ill here.

It is very lucky to be able to come to this place when I am about to despair.

I have met His Majesty the King, I have filled out my personal information yesterday, and I will get my ID card after a while. Constantine plans to live directly in Winter City for the next period of time, and seriously study the mystic knowledge here. .

David, who met Constantine, returned to Glamorgan Castle and learned that Laura was wandering around the city with Elsa and Anna, feeling Winter City up close.

David turned and left Fort Glamorgan, went to the cafe and found Bruce Wayne, who liked to stay here every day.

"You haven't used the strengthening potion yet?"

"No."

"Still struggling?"

"No, I'm just enjoying my last time as an ordinary human being." Bruce sees it very clearly. When Winter City is relatively stable, there is no opportunity for him to contribute his combat power. He doesn't care if he doesn't use the strengthening potion.

As for his own world, he didn't need to rush to improve his physical combat power with Clark by his side.

"However, I want an extra strengthening potion."

"To Alfred?"

"Yes."

"No problem...Speaking of which, if Alfred wants to retire in another place, I welcome him very much."

"..." Bruce was speechless about David's aboveboard poaching behavior, but thinking of Alfred's decades of service and hard work for the Wayne family, it seems that he should enjoy life: " I will pass on your invitation to him."

After the simple greetings, the topic is on. David wants to ask Bruce, what suggestions do you have for the future development of Winter City?

Bruce knew that David asked not about the development of the Winter Kingdom on the Brennia continent, but overall, especially considering the lunar outpost and the Sakan people on the Yaneira continent.

"Do you think we should eliminate the Sakan people in the outpost ahead of time?"

Bruce didn't answer David's question right away, he was thinking... and quickly came up with an answer: "You ask me, are you worried that destroying this outpost in advance will attract the main fleet of the Sakan people? "

Through David's description, Bruce knew that the Sakhan people had the fighting power to kill life on the planet. In addition, the Sakhan Empire was a powerful country that explored and colonized the universe, and was particularly hostile to life forms like David. Once the lunar outpost was destroyed If it is destroyed, the possibility of sending the main force is very high.

The Winter Kingdom is still developing on the ground, and has no ability to conduct space warfare at all.

If the troops of the Sakan Empire arrive, Winter Kingdom and David can only be beaten passively at this stage.

The safest way is to ignore the outposts and seize the time to develop the space force of Winter Kingdom.

But there is an enemy monitor on the top of the head, and some Sakan people are doing trouble on another continent. This situation is very uncomfortable. It is very difficult for David to destroy these Sakan people first. normal.

"Although I don't like this method very much, I think that the most reliable solution at present is that you personally take action to light-forge all the Sakan people in the outpost."

After considering all kinds of situations, Bruce gave his own suggestion, which is also the most reliable solution he can think of 'not attracting the main force of the Sakan people and gaining enough time for development'.

Transforming the Sakan people in the outpost into David's loyal lackeys will not only not arouse the vigilance of those Sakan people on the Yaneira continent, but also help Cold Winter City to keep an eye on the Yaneira continent and The more distant Sakan Empire.

"It's really a good idea, I didn't expect it."

Deep down in his heart, David didn't like the method of light casting, so he would subconsciously ignore this ability.

Bruce is different. From a purely objective standpoint, he believes that light-forging brainwashing is a very useful ability, and it is also very suitable for the current situation.

Of course, he would not ridicule David for his bad brain, but only feel at ease that David has a good moral bottom line.

At least it proved that I didn't trust the wrong person.
