Age of Empires From Scratch

Handing a bag to David who was sitting next to her, Laura's face was full of expectation. But David always felt that Laura's expression was abnormal, as if she was having some fun waiting to watch.

He didn't think about it too much, since Laura couldn't have sent him a bomb anyway, it was just a prank at most.

Put the bag in your hand, and when you opened the bag, you saw a mass of red: "What is this?"

Reaching out to take out the contents of the bag, David stood up and saw clearly what was in his hand with a slight shake: "A cloak?"

A cloak with a hood, this is not a strange thing, it can even be said to be a very practical thing, but this color...

"Yes, a cloak, put it on." Afraid that David would refuse, Laura stood up and put the cloak on for David, and even put the hood on David's head: "Isn't it nice? "

David looked at the red cloak with white fringe, and wanted to vomit in his heart: "It feels good, but this color..."

"Oh, in my world, red cloaks can only be worn by the best hunters." Laura explained solemnly, without a smile on her face: "It's an honor."

"Is that so?" David looked at Laura, then at Mark...Mark, who covered his mouth, nodded solemnly—now David and Fording both know that Laura and Mark are from a place called Earth The place and the era of life are similar, but there is no Mars exploration plan in Laura's world, so it is determined that the two are not from the same earth.

"Okay, thank you very much for the gift!" I said in my heart: I will remember this matter! David took off the cloak and carefully put it back into the bag: "I will keep such an important gift well!"

"Well, now that the weather is getting warmer, I don't need it. I can take it out when it's cold." As time goes by, the temperature is gradually warming up, and there is no need to light a fire to keep warm when sleeping at night.

The real meaning of Laura's words is not to say that the cloak will not be used for the time being, but the point is to let David wear it when the weather is cold: "Unfortunately, in my world, the legendary hunters wear the red cloak to kill Wicked gray wolf dead, which is a good moral considering what you're about to do."

David could only express his gratitude again: "It took your trouble."

Laura nodded in satisfaction, and then gave Mark a mobile hard drive that stored a large number of songs—he could finally get rid of the pile of disco music left by Captain Lewis.

"This is really great." During this period of time, Mark only complained to Laura about his captain's bad taste, because he felt that it was difficult for Fording and David to understand his pain. saved him.

In the end, Laura gave Fording a two-handed epee made of fine craftsmanship. Although she sent some cold weapons made by modern technology a few days ago, they were basically one-handed swords, short knives, daggers and other weapons. After using them, Ding felt that these weapons were of good quality, but they were too light to use easily.

At this time, I was very happy to get the weapon in my hand. After expressing my gratitude to Laura, I began to think about what gift I could give in return?

After thinking about it, it seems that he has nothing to offer except the knowledge related to the Holy Light. Maybe he can consider going back to Azeroth to get some other knowledge? I just don't know what Laura is interested in?

After a meal until the moon rises high, for those who are used to going to bed early and getting up early, it is already very late today.

After quickly clearing the table and keeping the rest of the food properly, they went back to their cabins to rest.

Maybe it was a new bed that was many times more comfortable than previous years, maybe it was drinking a lot of wine, David fell asleep quickly after lying down, and even had various sweet dreams, such as Laura in only her red cloak...

Opening his eyes, lying on the comfortable new bed, David didn't want to wake up at all.

Since he came to this backward world through time travel, this was the first time he had the idea of ​​resting on the bed. The new bed was so comfortable, and the sealing effect of the quilt had been strengthened by countless times, so he almost couldn't break free.

"Fortunately, my spiritual will is strong enough."

Wake up and wash up!

When David walked out of his wooden house, he found that everyone had already woken up, and Mark had already made breakfast: "Hi, David! It's so rare that I woke up so late today."

"Yeah, the new bed is so comfortable that I almost don't want to get up."

"Hahaha! I thought it was because you drank too much wine last night." In Mark's eyes, David is a young man living in a backward world. His living conditions are difficult and he has little chance to touch modern alcoholic beverages. His body is not used to it It's a very normal thing.

"How could a little wine knock me down?"

Sitting at the square table, everyone decided what to do while having breakfast: Fording will stay in the village and be responsible for dismantling two of the previous four temporary wooden houses, and the remaining two will be used as warehouses in the future .

According to the plan mentioned by David and several people, after the completion of several people's residences, the temporary wooden houses will be demolished one after another, such as kitchens and warehouses will be rebuilt to be more durable. These tasks are not urgent, and in the following days Slowly build up here.

After inspecting the potato fields, Mark will go to the Mars base to start his own Mars potato project—without any resources from Cold Winter Village, but completely relying on the resources from the Mars base. Mark is a botanist. A research project arranged for myself.

The early days of this project were troublesome, so Mark will be on Mars for most of the days these days, only coming back to eat and sleep.

"The two of us will go to the forest in the north and wipe out the wolves if possible." Putting the last bite of potatoes and homemade bacon into his mouth, David reminded Laura: "Bring enough weapons, because I don't know what else can appear in the forest besides wolves."

"clear!"

"If you are in trouble, send a signal flare!" Fording finally told him to let David and Laura notify himself when they encounter unsolvable dangers, and he will rush to support as quickly as possible.

David nodded. With Fording's strength, he felt that there should be no enemies near Rinwinter Village that he couldn't solve!

After changing into new clothes that are convenient for movement (the training uniform bought by Laura), after making sure that the first aid medicine, ropes, water, and ammunition are all available, he put the backpack on his back. Round pistol and handaxe, brand new hunting bow, and quiver slung from his waist.

After confirming that he could draw out the arrow just by reaching his lower back, David turned his head and looked at Laura.

Similar to her own situation, Laura was also fully armed. In addition to a bow and arrow and a pistol, she also brought an extra shotgun. Compared with David, she had more climbing picks in her waist and less a hand axe.

Looking at the attire of the two, it is impossible to tell whether they are going on an adventure, hunting or fighting-Mark Watney.

After waving at Mark, David and Laura headed towards the forest in the north. After passing through an open plain area and a not-so-steep slope, David and Laura officially stepped into the forest.

The originally comfortable temperature seemed to drop several degrees in an instant, and the cool feeling invaded the body from all directions, as if the entire forest was greeting two outsiders.

"It's pretty cool here..."

After walking quietly for a while, looking back, it was no longer possible to see Rindong Village in the distance, and all I could see were huge trees that had become emerald green.

"Have you been here before?"

"No." To Laura's question, David answered quickly: "I used to move around the edge of the forest, and even went around the forest looking for prey, and never went into the depths of the forest."

The last time he was attacked by wolves was the one he went deep into the forest. That encounter proved that David's previous caution was correct.

"I didn't expect you to be such a cautious character." Although I have known you for a while, Laura feels that her understanding of David is not detailed enough, and it is not even as good as her understanding of Fording—yes, Laura searched after returning. Over Tirion Fordring, the harvest is great!

But searching for David didn't turn up any useful information. The name David was so common that she couldn't be sure which of those search results corresponded to the young man beside her.

Of course, she did not rule out the possibility that David did not exist in any records in her world, and such a completely unknown existence made Laura even more curious.

"If a hunter is not cautious enough, he would have died in the mouth of wild beasts." This is not David's perception, but a sentence that the old hunter who raised and taught him kept repeating, and he also recognized it very much.

"So, you are now the village head of Winter Village, a hunter, and a priest of the Holy Light." Laura thinks this kind of professional combination is quite novel: "You are learning fighting skills with Tirion every day, and you also want to work part-time. a soldier?"

"Anyway, there are no restrictions. It's always good to have more things. It allows me to deal with various situations calmly." David carefully observed the surroundings, but he never saw any traces of wild animals, let alone wolves. signs of activity.

There was an unexpected harvest: "These should be ores?"

Looking at the hills in front of him that were not as tall as the surrounding trees, David carefully looked at the stones on the ground with various metallic lusters.

Laura knelt down and identified for a while before giving the answer: "It's copper ore and iron ore. This should be good news for you?"

"Of course!" The discovery of easy-to-dig metal mines near the village is of course a good thing for the development of the village: "With these ores, today is not in vain."

After walking around the hill for half a circle, David and Laura found a naturally formed cave. Just as David was about to light a torch and go in, he glanced at Laura next to him.
