  Chapter 18 Cooking Freedom

   David agreed with Fording's judgment.

Compared with the altar found in the mine with Laura, this altar was more severely damaged, and some patterns could be vaguely seen on it, and it was impossible to see what was written on it. .

  At the same time, because of the killing just now, the surroundings of the stele were covered with blood stains. The presence of these blood stains made the stele and the incomplete and dilapidated stone platform continuously emit scarlet light, giving people a very strange feeling.

"The spells that these giants used before should be obtained from this altar." Fording is more familiar with mysterious power than David, and with the fact that he has just fought with the giants, he roughly inferred The function of this altar: offering sacrifices and gaining power.

"These giant monsters immediately attacked other creatures, maybe because of this altar?" According to Fording's guess, these giant monsters have the habit of attacking when they disagree with each other—as long as they are not of the same kind, they are prey , After being killed, it is offered as a sacrifice to the altar to gain that kind of power.

   "It should be!" Fording raised the weapon, but looking at the two-handed epee in his hand, he didn't know whether to chop it down for a while: "It should come with a heavy hammer."

   "..."

These paladins and warriors from Azeroth have polished their bodies to a considerable extent. They are not used to ordinary weapons at all. Instead, they are some "heavy weapons" that look exaggerated in the eyes of ordinary people, especially Favored by this group of guys with a man of steel (weakened version).

  If Fording is using a two-handed heavy hammer at this moment, he will definitely smash the hammer on this stone tablet without hesitation, completely destroying this thing.

  But now... he was a bit reluctant to use such a good two-handed sword to split stones.

"give it to me!"

   "You have a way?"

   "Yeah!" David rummaged through the backpack a few times before finding what he needed: "Laura brought some explosives earlier, just in case I brought some in the backpack."

  The original idea was that if I was blocked by something, or trapped in a cave or something, I could use this thing to blast my way out.

  It should be no problem to blow up a stone tablet.

   As for the mysterious power on the altar, it probably wouldn't protect the stele, otherwise it wouldn't be in its current state.

  Boom!

   Arranged properly, ignited and ran to a safe distance, David and Fording watched the stele blown into countless rubble.

Quietly stood there and observed for a while, making sure that nothing strange happened again, and after the stele had been completely destroyed, David and Fording cleaned up the battlefield again—buried the giant monster's body, and looked at it at the same time Is there any suitable loot.

  After checking, the two of them were completely sure that the lifestyle of this group of giant monsters was quite primitive, even if they were intelligent, they were not very different from other wild beasts.

"It's a pity. If the body of this giant wolf can be preserved intact, then this fur is a good thing." Fording looked at the huge wolf head thrown in the corner, and estimated that it was left there after eating the leftovers. There were other bits and pieces scattered about.

  David took a look and recognized that it was the head of the giant wolf that had been placed on the altar earlier. This giant wolf had beautiful snow-white fur, and it was a pity that it was not left behind.

   "Anyway, we don't lack a piece of fur now."

  After checking, the two embarked on the way back. Because the threat near the village was completely eliminated, both of them were in a good mood, talking and laughing all the way back.

   "Now that the problem of food has been solved, and farmland that can continue to grow food has been reclaimed, what are your plans next?"

   On the way back to the village, Fording was very curious about David's next plan? Ever since he was curious about what David could do, Fording began to pay attention to David's every move.

   This is completely different from the original "whatever, I have a place to live anyway". In a sense, it was only at this time that Fording began to integrate into Cold Winter Village.

   For this situation, David is very happy. He knows that people like Mark and Fording who have great involvement in their own world, it is difficult to truly become the villagers of Cold Winter Village, and even at the beginning, David didn't really embrace turning them into himself. The idea of ​​the villagers is to use these people and the power behind them to develop the village.

  The village has farmland and comfortable residences. After improving these "hardware attributes", it is his original plan to use these to attract more locals to join.

   Now it seems that maybe it is not impossible for them to stay in Rindong Village sincerely and become villagers of Rindong Village.

"Go to Iron Tree Fort with the development order." Now that everything is ready, he should also go to Iron Tree Fort to truly confirm his identity as the village chief: "In addition to getting Winter Village recognized by the kingdom, I plan to recruit some villagers Come to Winter Village."

   "If the village wants to grow and develop, enough population is indispensable." Fording agreed with David's plan, and for now, he can't make any better suggestions. Whether it is to cultivate more land or expand the scale of farmland, it is inseparable from a sufficient population: "If possible, find more craftsmen."

  Whether it is blacksmiths, stonemasons or carpenters, Lindong Village has none. Craftsmen are also essential for the stable development of the village.

"I know."

   Carpenters and stonemasons may not be in a hurry, but blacksmiths must find one, otherwise the agricultural tools of ordinary farmers will not be guaranteed, so we can’t just rely on Laura to go home and buy them?

  Think about it carefully, if there are few people, you can barely accept it, but if there are too many people, it will definitely not work, so in the end, it depends on how many people you can abduct.

   "It would be great if we could recruit hundreds of people in one go."

  In that case, it is even possible to plan and build Rindong Village according to Rindong Town, but David knows that this is impossible.

  First of all, the population of this world is not so large that it can be fooled to more than a hundred people with just a few words.

  Secondly, many pioneers ran back to Iron Tree Fort before. The situation in Cold Winter Village may have spread in Iron Tree Fort. Maybe many people will not believe what David said.

"Hehe, don't be in a hurry. As long as the village develops steadily, the population will increase slowly." Fording felt that he had enough experience in this area. After all, he was originally the lord of the Kingdom of Lordaeron and managed a large area of ​​land. : "As long as there is no disaster like war."

   "War? It shouldn't happen!"

  David felt that the war was too far away from Winter Village. Because his village is located in the northernmost part of the Kingdom of Tilan, and the Kingdom of Tilan is the northernmost power in the entire continent. This northernmost does not only refer to the human kingdom, but to all ethnic forces on the continent.

  Before David established Cold Winter Village, on the plain north of the Tilan Mountains and the Iron Tree Forest, there was no real country at all, and no towns were even established. That is to say, around David's Cold Winter Village, there are at most small threats like the troll village that was just wiped out by Fording.

   Other than that, the only ones who can be called powerful are the elves living in the iron tree forest.

  As for the outbreak of war between the Kingdom of Tilan and other countries, which will affect the village of Winter? This may be relatively low. First of all, Cold Winter Village has just been established, and there are not a few strong men in the village at all. When the country is pulling young men, no one can be recruited.

  Even if the call-up order is really issued, there is a high probability that David will deal with it alone.

  Furthermore, according to the Exploitation Act, unless there is an emergency, the kingdom will generally not issue a call for this newly established new village—Rinwinter Village is not really established yet, and there are still many processes that have not been completed.

  In this environment, as long as David doesn't tease the group of elves in the Iron Tree Forest, Rinwinter Village is basically far away from the threat of war.

  Of course, staying away from threats does not mean absolute safety, nor does it mean that David has given up the promotion of 'force'. He cannot let his sword be put down at any time. Only when the sword is sharp enough can he calmly face any threat.

  He understood this truth in his previous life, and he dare not forget it in this life!

   Stopped and stopped along the way, and picked some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and wild fruits during the trip. This trip not only eliminated potential threats, but also added food by the way.

  Back to Cold Winter Village, I found that Mark did not return to the Mars base, but cultivated a small field outside the village.

   "What is this doing?"

When David and Fording approached, Mark was wiping his sweat with a shovel on his arm. Seeing that the two people didn't even have dirty clothes, he knew that the giant monsters hadn't caused any trouble to them, so he didn't ask them about the battle situation at all. How, in direct answer to David's question: "Laura has brought some wheat and corn seeds, and I'll try to plant them."

  There is also wheat in this world, but the wheat seeds brought by the development team in the past two years have not been successfully planted, so David has not considered planting wheat or barley.

   But Mark is willing to try, and he has no reason to object. Maybe the seeds provided by Laura can adapt to the soil and climate here? It is also possible that the previous feeling that the land has changed is not an illusion? Anyway, there is no harm in trying.

   "Aren't you going to try Mars?"

"Just getting a small piece of land to plant wheat will not waste much time." Now Mark has enough food and enough rest, and he can do what he wants when his physical strength is guaranteed, and he doesn't care about wasting at all. With a little stamina: "When the Mars base is finished, I'm going to try to grow some vegetables."

   At that time, there will be a variety of fresh vegetables, pasta made of wheat, a large number of potatoes, and a variety of meat, and Lindong Village will truly realize the freedom of cooking.

   Thinking of such a scene, David looked forward to it!
