Age of Empires From Scratch

David lowered his left hand holding the hunting bow with a happy face, and then used his vigorous skills to move quickly through the forest. In the blink of an eye, he came to his prey: a deer that fell to the ground with several arrows in its body.

He squatted down and put the hunting bow aside, drew out the dagger to complete a fatal blow on the undead prey, and then moved the steaming venison onto the very rough back frame. The whole process was done in one go and very skillful.

Hey!

After taking a breath, he stood up vigorously. David, who was carrying the back frame, struggled to stand upright. The weight on the back frame behind him was much heavier than he expected.

The strength has deteriorated a lot, and I hope to recover soon.

Not long after entering the forest, he got dozens of catties of venison. David is very satisfied with today's harvest. If his luck has been so good, he should be able to return to normal soon.

Carrying a hunting bow and a quiver full of arrows, David walked towards his 'home' outside the forest...

David, originally an ordinary office worker on the earth, came to this world somehow after his untimely death.

According to his observation, this is a fantasy world similar to the European Middle Ages.

The strictly divided class system also made him very uncomfortable, because he was just a commoner in his life!

After being brought up by an old hunter, Addis, to the age of sixteen, the unwilling David became a pioneer—in order to increase the territory of the Kingdom of Tilan, the common people were encouraged to become pioneers to develop the land without human life and habitation .

Pioneers who successfully develop and occupy new lands can break away from civilian status and become knights or even noble lords.

However, developing territory is not an easy task. After several months of trekking to choose a place of residence and more than a year and a half of reclamation work, the pioneering team that David was in failed to cultivate qualified farmland.

Coupled with factors such as bad weather, wild animal attacks, lack of food and medicine, hard work without rewards and other factors, some people died or gave up one after another. When the next winter passed, only David was left.

He took over the development license as a matter of course and became the village chief of this newly built village.

But after struggling through the second winter, David also began to consider leaving here.

This deer should bring me back to life, and I can make some jerky... It would be even better if I could find some wild vegetables.

Carrying the main food for the next few days, David slowly walked back to this temporary village with only four large wooden houses.

One of the four wooden houses is a warehouse, a blacksmith’s workshop, and the kitchen of the entire team. David carried the venison into the wooden house and put it on a simple-looking table, and began to perform various treatments: skinning, gutting, Cutting and cleaning the meat of various parts, and after he finished all this, he stewed some broth for himself—he had no shortage of seasonings at hand, and the pioneering team would bring enough salt, sugar, and spices when they set off, these things Not much left.

Sitting on a simple wooden bench outside the wooden house, drinking broth from a wooden bowl, David looked at the vast river to the west and thought about his future: Should he go to another pioneering village? Or simply return to Iron Tree Fort?

Go back to Iron Tree Fort and be an ordinary hunter honestly? Always a little reconciled. While thinking about these things, Dao's figure vaguely appeared not far in front of him.

The figure was vague and vague, even in broad daylight, David couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly.

What's going on? What the hell?

The translucent figure reminded David of ghosts, undead, Nie Xiaoqian and other existences. Just when he put down the wooden bowl to get the bow and arrow at hand, trying to strengthen himself, the figure gradually became Clear, revealing the 'true look'.

This shape...

Dirty camisole, overalls and leather boots, ponytail, and dirty muddy water can't hide her good looks, plus that staggering look with her hands on her waist...

With this shape, if it is paired with the wind and rain, the bone-piercing wind and the constant rain falling down the mountain wall, David should suspect that he has crossed again—what he saw is obviously the famous Laura.

Lara Croft, the absolute protagonist of the Tomb Raider series. Although it is a virtual character, it is a world-renowned existence.

In the setting, Laura’s family background is very good. After graduating from university, she became an archaeologist. However, none of the relics she has archaeologically can be completely preserved, so she is also called the tomb destroyer, where to go Nada, God of Demolition and so on.

And Laura has several different images, from the 1st to 8th generation games, the new trilogy starting from the 9th generation, two old movie versions and the new movie version.

The Laura in front of me is obviously from the first part of the new trilogy of the game version.

In this work, Laura is just a rookie who has just graduated from university and is really participating in archaeological activities for the first time.

In this seemingly ordinary archaeological activity, he was shipwrecked and drifted to the island, and encountered a series of strange things. After experiencing various ordeals, Laura helps her partners escape successfully and gradually grows up.

The one in front of David should be Laura from the beginning of the story.

Standing up, David watched as he slowly walked into the village, looked at Laura who also showed a puzzled look, and was about to try a conversation-after so many years, he didn't know that he could still remember a few sentences in English.

When he was struggling to think of a few words in English, Laura on the opposite side had noticed him and stopped a few meters away from David.

The two are not far away now, and there is plenty of light in broad daylight, and David in this life has no problems with myopia or astigmatism. He can clearly see the surprise, doubt, and guard on Laura's face.

Hello. David used the lingua franca of this world habitually: Do you need help?

Hello! Laura couldn't understand what the young man was saying. But after taking a closer look, I felt that this young man who looked very righteous should have no malice towards him, so he waved his hand and greeted David: I need some help.

This listening question is not difficult, and he can understand it, but how to answer it makes him scratch his head.

Putting the bow and arrow aside, David walked up to Laura.

After seeing David put down his weapon, he confirmed that this person was not malicious to him, and Laura immediately said a lot of words. This gave David a headache, and he could only vaguely understand a few words. In the end, he had to point to the wound that Laura was covering, and interrupted the other party.

In the story, Laura fell into the sea during a shipwreck. Although she tried her best to swim to the shore, she was directly knocked out. After waking up, he was hung upside down in a cave.

Although Laura escaped with her wisdom and courage, she was also injured, among which the penetrating wound on her waist was the most serious.

It's hard to imagine that Laura, a young girl who doesn't look very strong, was able to climb the snowy mountains and grasslands with such injuries, and wiped out the entire Brotherhood of the Sun, Queen Himiko, the big boss with mysterious power, and its large number The Stormguard.

Considering that the metal pierced into the side of the waist was full of rust, and Laura's subsequent performance... Even the empty-handed Laura's combat power is definitely more than 5.

At this time, Laura, who was amazingly powerful, was in a very weak state. Following the direction David pointed at, she lowered her head and looked at her waist. There was blood oozing from her fingers. She knew that she was not talking nonsense now. time, and she also understood that the other party did not understand English.

However, simple words should be understandable, right? Tried saying: I need help! Medicine!

Laura watched as the young man in front of him took out something from the bag at his waist: a small bag, and a roll of cloth that looked like a bandage.

After the other party opened the packet, Laura saw the powder inside, which seemed to be some kind of medicinal powder—it seemed that her attempt was successful.

Taking out the medicine powder and self-made bandages that he always carried with him, David made several gestures towards Laura: first he pointed to his own eyes, then pointed to the location of Laura's wound, and finally raised his hand powder and bandages.

Laura understood what the other party meant, nodded after hesitating for a few seconds, and lifted the vest a little to reveal the injured part.

Her movement affected the wound, and the sudden onslaught of pain made Laura groan softly.

David looked at Laura's waist, it was covered with blood stains, and the original skin color could not be seen, and it was impossible to directly apply medicine in this state.

Passing the medicine powder and bandage in his hand to Laura, David pointed to the wooden chair next to the wooden house and made a 'wait' gesture.

It was a very simple gesture, and Laura had no difficulty in understanding it. She took the medicine powder and bandages and sat on the wooden chair. Laura watched David turn and enter the wooden house, and soon came out with a basin of clear water, and understood. The meaning of the other party.

Sitting obediently on the wooden chair, Laura looked at the enthusiastic young man in front of her wiping her waist and abdomen with a damp cloth, and suddenly felt weird... She should clean it herself, and it seems inappropriate to speak now, and she thinks The other party could not understand what he said.

David carefully helped Laura wipe the wound. With his movements, the mud, water and blood were wiped away, revealing Laura's white waist and abdomen with muscular lines.

Feeling the wetness and delicateness from his fingers, David, who hadn't tasted meat for more than ten years, felt a heat rising in his body.

cough!

Gathering his mind, he threw the cloth stained with blood mud aside, then picked up the medicine powder and bandage from Laura's hand, and helped Laura bandage the wound neatly - in the past two years, his bandaging technique has improved a lot big.

After he finished these, he stood up and nodded to Laura.

At this time, Laura also stood up, checked the bandages on her lower back and raised her head, and thanked David very sincerely: Thank you very much for your help.

You are welcome.

As soon as the words came out, both of them were stunned.

For David no longer spoke a language Laura had never heard, but the English she knew very well, the British English she knew best.
