Age of Empires From Scratch

  Chapter 89 An itinerary full of unknowns

  Black, rough-looking leather armor, and a thick cloak that seems to be made of animal fur. They are obviously good-looking clothes, but they will make people think that they are rough clothes of country people.

  David’s suit was specially ordered by Laura. It is much more comfortable to wear than it looks. It is said that it was handmade by a costumer who specializes in making costumes and props for commercial movies.

   "Looks good, but are you really going to cut your hair?"

Laura walked around David, feeling that David's current appearance fits the image of a wandering swordsman in ancient Europe. Although David didn't have a sword around his waist, he was wearing a holster with a Holy Light Hunter and the Hammer of Judgment.

   "I've been out for a longer time this time, and short hair is easier to clean and manage."

  David’s hair has never been very long. When it was the longest it used to grow to the neck, and then it would be cut short by him a few times—I didn’t care about whether it looked good or not, it was just for convenience.

Later, there were more and more people in the village, and Laura brought a lot of modern daily necessities, so he didn't have to take care of his hair at will. This winter, because he was busy with various things, he didn't take care of it for the first time. I have long hair.

   "I think your long hair suits this outfit better."

   "Should I still have some hot rolls?"

   "Sounds like a good idea."

In many people's minds, Laura has always been a carefree female adventurer who doesn't care about her own image. After all, she often travels in all kinds of poor mountains and rivers, and camping in the wild is commonplace. In this case, it is impossible for her Dress up extremely exquisitely.

   But don't forget that Laura Crawford is a woman after all, and a woman of noble origin. She usually doesn't show that side, it's just that she doesn't need it, not that she doesn't have the relevant skills.

  As long as Laura is willing, she can transform herself into a real British noblewoman at any time, the kind that people can't fault at all.

  The noblewoman seems to have found a new toy, and she just wants to help David dress up according to her own ideas: "Come on, I'll perm your hair for you, just sit still and don't move."

   "..."

  Looking at the fact that Laura practiced with him for a long time last night, David gave up his insistence and obediently let Laura play with his hair.

   "I asked you before, who are you planning to go out with this time?"

  David is going to Iron Tree Fort, maybe even to the capital. You definitely won’t go alone. If someone is with you, you can take care of each other. If something goes wrong, someone else can come back for help.

"I asked Steve before, but Steve said that SHIELD has a lot of things recently, and there is no way to take a long vacation." David asked Steve and Mark, and Steve couldn't get away , and Mark, who previously expressed his desire to see this world city, also had no way to leave the village because he had to go to the Mars base to keep in touch with the earth every day.

  In addition, Steve has just mastered the mysterious power, he needs to spend some time to practice hard, so he simply stays in the village to ensure the safety of the village.

   Fording will stay in Azeroth more and more in the future, and Laura also has his own affairs to be busy, so he doesn't have many partners to choose from.

   "Addis, Peggy, Sharon, there is a high probability that Sharon will go with me."

  Adis's strength is not good. Although the old hunter has rich experience, he is just an ordinary hunter and he is not young. So it must be one of Sharon Rodgers or Peggy Carter walking with me.

   "Where's Eva? Don't you take her?"

"Eva has to stay in the village, coordinate all aspects, and record what happened in the village when I was away." Although Cold Winter Town has not yet been officially recognized, Eva has already taken up her post in advance and became David's Clerk.

  After a period of learning and adaptation, Eva sorted out the relationship between the various characters in the Winter Village, and recorded and organized various situations in the Winter Village at any time, so that David can ask and query at any time. Although there is not much paperwork in Cold Winter Village at present, all of them have been contracted by Eva.

   "I see that you take this little secretary with you wherever you go now, and thought you would bring it this time as well."

  David didn't answer the call, he felt that no matter how he replied, it was inappropriate.

  As for why he didn't bring Eva, because there are so many unknowns on this trip, he doesn't even plan to bring Addis, let alone a purely civil servant like Eva.

   "Will and Elizabeth have expressed interest, but Will said that Elizabeth seems to be in some trouble, and probably won't be able to keep up."

  The two chatted, and Laura finally fixed David's hair. David picked up the mirror and looked at it, thinking that he should change his weapon to a long sword with a husky head at the end of the hilt.

   "This is obviously an enhanced version of my appearance."

  David, who was one year older, felt that he had become more handsome than a year ago. He shamelessly took the mirror for a long time, and even Laura beside him was a little speechless before putting the mirror back.

  Then the two walked around the village, chatted with everyone in the village, and finally confirmed that it was Sharon Rogers who accompanied David to Iron Tree Fort.

  Peggy felt that it was safer for her to stay. After all, compared to Sharon, a young man with "no experience", she was a veteran of World War II and had enough command experience.

  When Fording is not here, Laura has something to deal with, and Steve can't stay permanently, Peggy is undoubtedly the most suitable one to stay in Cold Winter Village and serve as the commander.

Eva will also stay in the village, and she will assist Edwin Van Cleef to complete the various construction works of Cold Winter Town (Winter Fortress), especially responsible for the message transmission between Van Cleef and Laura, to ensure that the project is not completed. There will be delays.

   As for the farmland, Mark helped to keep an eye on it, and the scientific team including Leonard continued to do their various researches.

   When David set off on the day, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village to see him off. Even Van Cleef brought his daughter Vanessa, and Anduin, whose alias was Hope, also stood on the edge of the crowd.

   "Perhaps when you come back, various engineering vehicles have already appeared in the village."

   "I'm looking forward to it."

  Mark also expressed his ambition: "Before you come back, I will definitely master a mysterious power!"

"I believe you can do it."

Fording also made a special trip back, and David asked about the situation in Azeroth: the natural disaster plague has broken out, Alsace is investigating the truth everywhere in the territory of the Kingdom of Lordaeron, and the matter of purifying Stratholme It's not far from happening.

  The curtain has been opened, and Fording is also making final preparations. This time to see David off, he is actually saying goodbye to other people in the village.

  After today, Fording will not continue to live in Cold Winter Village, at most he will come back occasionally, Azeroth is his battlefield.

"Bon Voyage!"

   "Good luck to you too."

   Hugged goodbye to Fording, David stepped on the horse, and rode away from Cold Winter Village with Sharon who was already on the horse.

The war horse is the top war horse in Azeroth. This kind of war horse has a strong load-bearing capacity and endurance, and the sprint speed is also very strong. While wearing armor, it can also carry a knight in full body armor up the mountain and down the sea. , launch a charge after a long-distance attack.

  With this powerful mount, David and Sharon can carry more than enough stuff.

In addition to the leather armor that Laura found specially made for them, the two brought replacement clothes, shoes and socks, as well as enough food and water for the road; there were also various gifts specially prepared by Laura, so that David could use it according to the situation. to use.

The rest are basically weapons. In this regard, David has maintained a consistent tradition. On the surface, he still carries a hunting bow and quiver, and has a Holy Light Hunter revolver in his waist, but the Hammer of Judgment has replaced the previously commonly used one. hand axe.

Sharon brought more weapons. In addition to the knight spear and shield specially made by Will using crystal ore powder, Sharon also brought two extra pistols and an assault rifle, but most of them were ordinary bullets, only a few A small portion of powerful ammo with crystal powder added.

   In addition, there are flash shock bombs, incendiary bombs, fragmentation grenades and grenades.

   "..."

  David listened to Sharon's introduction of the weapons and ammunition he was carrying, and looked at the luggage carried by the horse Sharon was riding, feeling inexplicably at ease.

   "Did I bring too much?" Sharon noticed David's gaze, thinking that he had brought too much ammunition to surprise him.

   Unexpectedly, David gave an unexpected reply: "Not much, if it is not inconvenient, I would rather drive a weasel out."

  Sharon opened her mouth, realizing that she still doesn't know the village chief well enough. The pursuit of firepower seems to have reached a pathological level: "Is that too exaggerated?"

"No exaggeration!" David waved his hand: "This kind of trip with an unknown future, and I don't even know when the enemy will pop up, I can't wait to wear a mobile armor that can protect the whole body, carry individual nuclear bombs and thirty The 5mm Vulcan cannon just came out."

"How could there be such an exaggerated armor." Sharon felt that the equipment David described was too exaggerated, and unconsciously completed the image of the armor in her mind, and then began to think about wearing this armor herself. What will A look like: "But think about it carefully, this thing is quite interesting."

"That's right!" He always felt that the words 'men can't refuse a handsome mecha' were not accurate enough, because women also couldn't refuse a handsome mecha: "Actually, for Cold Winter Village, there is already a The crystal ore, a mineral that contains energy, solves the most troublesome problem, which is the energy supply of the mobile armor."

  Sharon was stunned when she heard this. Could it be that Winter Village has already secretly started manufacturing mobile armor without her knowing?

   "Could it be that Leonard and the others have already started making the armor you mentioned?"
