Age of Empires From Scratch

He didn't think about the city wall until he found Squirtle and asked Squirrel to help him find some orb silk spiders, and then he and Mark turned back and walked inside Cold Winter Town.

To build or not to build?

Building a city wall will make the town appear safer.

In this era, the function of the city wall is still great. Even the Shuanghan Town, which was just established in the northeast, built a simple wall with wood.

After a year of development this year, the wall may be upgraded.

No building, simply because David didn't want to waste that time and energy, because even if the city wall was built, there was a high probability that it would be demolished.

According to his current plan, only the Winter Fortress (palace?) where he lives will be surrounded by a high wall, but the meaning of this high wall is different from the city wall. It is more to ensure that David, as the lord, has a different Interrupted personal space.

As for the entire cold winter town, it is still an open state.

The residents of the town didn't wonder why the town on the border of the kingdom didn't have a city wall. Because the construction site keeps reminding the people here that the town is still under construction.

Still struggling?

yes!

I think you will be entangled, which means you have a clear answer in your heart.

Mark hit the point. If David didn't resist the construction of the city wall in his heart, he didn't need to worry about such things at all.

You're right. I do have a clear answer in my heart. David nodded. The city he dreamed of had no walls at all, and he was confident in the speed of development of his territory.

Most importantly, he is confident in the defense of his territory.

When necessary, David can completely cast a great summoning technique. The summoning targets include but are not limited to: members of the Avengers; the Autobots currently on Earth; the Knights of the Silver Hand and the army of the Kingdom of Lordaeron; Quel'Thalas ranger troops.

With this lineup, he really didn't believe that someone could take down Cold Winter Town.

Rather than spending time, energy and resources building city walls, it is better to build more houses and rent out these houses at low prices to attract more civilians to settle in Winter Town...

After the construction of various infrastructures in Cold Winter Town is completed, and the current residents in the town have their own residences, he will no longer provide free board and lodging for people.

Winter Town will officially end the current model at that time and return to a more normal state.

The artisans will receive reasonable remuneration for their work in the future, including Lord David, who recruits artisans during non-emergency situations and will also give reasonable remuneration.

The trading of various commodities should also be normalized, and the canteen will naturally disappear. In the future, the villagers will cook in their own homes. If they want to improve their lives, they can go to the restaurant promised to Jonah a long time ago, or other Hotels and restaurants run by people.

Of course, the normalization of everything means that David will start collecting taxes. In addition to the basic agricultural tax, David also needs to set a relatively reasonable commercial tax standard.

All sorts of messy thoughts popped up in his head, turning his thoughts thousands of miles away, and he didn't regain his senses until Mark patted himself lightly.

What? Without waiting for Mark to answer, David saw the phantom not far away, and knew why Mark suddenly interrupted his wild thoughts: Who is coming?

David took a look. They are now located on the west side of Cold Winter Town. Going forward is the farmland that Mark often uses to test new crops, and then there is Jonah's cafeteria.

He and Mark walked a few steps forward and stood in front of the phantom, and soon the two of them saw the appearance of the person coming.

It was a young man, not yet twenty, it seemed.

The two looked at each other, then nodded in unison: Well, I know this person!

Looking back at the young man, the young man was looking around strangely, wondering why he suddenly walked from the city to the wild?

Hello!

Hi, welcome to Cold Winter Town. I'm Mayor David, and this is Mark.

My name is Peter Parker, what is this place?

Peter Parker's inquiry made David and Mark look at each other again, and Mark even asked, Are you coming or am I?

After seeing David gesture please to him, he began to popularize his current situation for the famous person in front of him.

David stood quietly aside, admiring the various interesting reactions of this 'acquaintance'.

Peter's unbelievable reaction when he heard that he was not only far away from Queens, but also no longer on the earth he was familiar with, seemed particularly interesting.

After Mark finished introducing the situation, this Peter Parker put his hands on his head, still in disbelief: You are actually joking with me, aren't you?

You can try to walk backwards, thinking about returning to your own world. David pointed in the direction of the Winter River: You will know that we are not joking.

Peter looked back at the wide river not far away, and decided to try the method David said.

Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it, there is no need to entangle here.

But before he had time to move, he was taken aback by the translucent phantom that suddenly appeared in front of him: What is this?

Oh, it seems that another one has arrived. Mark looked at the new phantom in surprise, and then said to Peter next to him: If you are not in a hurry, you can wait here for a while... By the way, That's how you just appeared.

You said I also appeared in this way just now? Peter began to believe that he had really traveled to another world, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the scene in front of him.

What technology is used? He didn't think that someone would go to such great lengths just to fool an ordinary high school student like himself: What's the principle? Quantum transmission? Or a wormhole?

It should be a special ability exerted by a mysterious being. When he said this, Mark glanced at David, but David continued to look at the phantom as if he hadn't heard anything.

After waiting for a long time, the phantom gradually showed a clear appearance, and soon became a real person.

It was a young girl with platinum long hair and a black hairpin on her head.

Different from Peter Parker's behavior just now, when this girl found herself in a strange place with three strange men standing in front of her, she took a few big steps back immediately.

Who are you? The girl looked around again, feeling strange that she suddenly came to such a desolate place, but she acted calmly and did not act aggressively: What kind of place is this?

This time, Mark made a 'please' gesture to David first, and Peter next to him looked at the two people, realizing that the two people had met many people from other worlds, otherwise they would not be so proficient.

Hello, this is Cold Winter Town, and I'm David the mayor. Seeing that the other party was a young girl, David appeased the other party appropriately: Don't worry, we don't have any malicious intentions, you will appear here, yes Because of a mysterious force...

After briefly introducing the situation in Cold Winter Town, David also described how to leave here, and never approached the other party from the beginning to the end, which made the girl on the opposite side let down a little bit of wariness.

Finally, David pointed to Peter next to him: This Peter Parker, just like you, just arrived here, and he is about to try to leave.

What? Me? Oh, actually, I already believed what you said earlier. Peter pointed to the girl in front of him. Seeing that strange scene, he kind of believed that he had really come to another world.

The young girl on the opposite side looked around again, and asked David uncertainly: I just need to walk in this direction, thinking about going home, can I leave here?

Yes!

If I want to come here, can I come again anytime?

That's right!

Without hesitation, the young girl turned around and walked away. Her figure quickly turned into a phantom and disappeared.

Wow! Peter sighed, seeing the miraculous scene again, he had truly believed what the previous Mark said to himself: It's amazing!

Then he asked the mayor of David: Are there many people like me from other worlds in this town?

David nodded and pointed directly at Mark next to him.

Mark coughed twice, and solemnly re-introduced the following words: Formal introduction, Mark Watney, a member of the Mars Exploration Program, an unlucky guy who was left alone on Mars due to an accident.

No way... Peter stretched out his hand in disbelief, and shook Mark's hand: Are you an astronaut who landed on Mars? Are you still trapped on Mars?

uh-huh!

So, if you take the initiative to return to your own world now, you will return to Mars?

That's right. Mark remembered that now he could take people to his own world: How about it? Are you interested in visiting Mars?

What you said is true? Peter was surprised and delighted, and he still didn't quite believe that he would encounter such a lucky thing: Can you really take me to visit Mars? We just met, don't you worry about what will happen Bad influence?

I'm very assured of you. Mark looked at his right hand that hadn't been released yet: Peter Parker, the famous Spider-Man...or should I call you The Amazing Spider-Man?

When Mark and David saw this face, coupled with the name Peter Parker, they confirmed the identity of this man.

In addition, the Peter Parker in front of him does not wear glasses, which means that Peter in front of him has acquired superpowers.

Peter, who was suddenly called to reveal his secret identity, showed a little panic, and didn't know how to respond for a while.

Fortunately, the young girl who left earlier reappeared to help him out.

It's unbelievable, I can really go to another world freely!

After amazed, the girl looked at the three men looking at her, and introduced herself with a smile: I was a little rude just now, after all, this kind of thing is too unbelievable. It's a pleasure to come to this place and meet you, I'm Ge Win Stacy.
