Chapter 281 Impossible mission
Although David has not personally contacted Ethan too many times, he has always been concerned about the situation of the ace agent.
Ethan’s choice to work as a purchasing agent in Cold Winter City is nothing. To David’s surprise, this agent seems to enjoy this ordinary life style.
"How do you feel about Winter City?"
"It's a very good place." Ethan's words are not polite, but he feels that this place is very good from the bottom of his heart, mainly because in this place, he can temporarily put down his identity as an agent and let him relax in a real sense: "I'm close to saving enough to buy a house."
"You can also buy a piece of residential land, and then ask craftsmen to help you build a house according to your preferences and needs."
The infrastructure of Winter City has been extensively laid from the beginning, and a lot of land for building houses has been reserved.
Even though many new houses have been built to accommodate a large number of new populations, some land is still vacant and unused.
If Ethan is not satisfied with the layout of the existing houses in Winter City, he can design one himself.
I believe the craftsmen will be happy to meet Ethan's request. Apart from earning money by taking this kind of work, these craftsmen are also very curious about various designs they have never touched. There may be craftsmen who are willing to give him a discount and let him enjoy a high discount.
"Actually, I have already chosen a house. The current houses in Winter City are all great."
Ethan thinks that the 'authentic' medieval style buildings here in Winter City are the best choice! He thought it would be strange to build a modern luxury villa in such a city.
And the infrastructure here in Winter City is very complete. These houses just look 'quaint', and they live in the same way as modern houses. If you buy a ready-made house, you can move in immediately.
After the two chatted for a while, David naturally turned the topic to Ethan's work.
It's not the purchasing agent work here in Cold Winter City, but his own job in his own world.
Regarding his own situation, Ethan didn't want to keep hiding it.
After staying in Winter City for a while, he already knew many people from other worlds like himself, and they all had various magical identities.
Captain America, Iron Man, Transformers, Colonial Governor of the Never Set Empire, Ranger General of the High Elf Kingdom, etc. His identity as an agent is nothing compared to him.
Moreover, he doesn't think he can really hide his true occupation. He believes that the lord has already investigated his situation. When he was active in Winter City, he could occasionally feel that someone was watching Own.
"Does the Earl have something to ask me to help?"
"Not yet."
David didn’t pretend that he didn’t need Ethan to make any contributions. It’s useless to play those routines with people like Ethan. It’s better to say something. Being honest may make the other party let go of their guard faster.
He was a little curious, what reward would he get if he added the favorability of Ethan Hunt, an elite agent?
Because this question came up on the spur of the moment after meeting Ethan, and he didn't think about how to better guide the topic in advance, so the two of them are basically having an awkward chat now.
Just chat a few words when you think of it. Fortunately, Ethan is curious about many things. After confirming that David is really kind and friendly, he asked a lot about Winter City.
In addition, there are things that Eva told him at the beginning, but he is not very sure: for example, when he is in trouble and needs help from Winter City, he can directly borrow many items from Winter City, including weapons. resource.
David affirmed this, although as the development becomes stronger, there will be some changes in the relationship between the visitor from another world and David.
But for Cold Winter City, these people from other worlds will still get some preferential treatment.
After all, a visitor from another world means the resources of a new world. With the development of Winter City, maybe David will slowly expand the power of Winter City to more worlds.
"Including the latest equipment?" It is impossible to say that Ethan is not curious about the weapons and equipment in Winter City.
Just from the beginning, he positioned himself as an ordinary person, thinking that he was not qualified to have access to the new equipment of Winter City. As a result, I now know from David that the situation is not what I thought? If he opens his mouth, can he borrow those things?
"As long as you can use it..." David explained that it would be difficult for Ethan to use such equipment as Blizzard Power Armor directly, and he must undergo various trainings first.
Other than that, there are not too many restrictions.
Seeing Ethan's curious face, David said that if you have nothing to do later, you can go to visit with yourself.
The two have entered the Cathedral of the Holy Light, and found Liadrin who is teaching the apprentice priest to learn the knowledge of the Holy Light.
Ethan handed over the purchased goods to Liadrin, and after collecting his own reward, he watched David chat with the high elf Holy Light Bishop about the priest of Holy Light.
He didn't plug in, just listened quietly for a while, and realized that Winter City would welcome a large number of new residents. The Earl of David Glamorgan was worried about the medical problems in the territory.
"Just relying on my teaching and training in Winter City, it must be too late. I will go back to Azeroth in a few days!" Liadrin didn't think too long at all. She is an orthodox priest of the Holy Light. Knowing how much time it takes to train a qualified novice priest, even if the current batch of apprentices are talented, there is no way to make them all succeed in becoming real priests within a few months.
So far, the best performers in this group of apprentices are the two foreign students, Modu and Casillas, and the rest are still far away from truly learning the Holy Light.
So, the most reliable way is to go back to Azeroth and recruit a group of Holy Light priests to live in Winter City.
"It may be difficult to recruit priests in the Kingdom of Lordaeron." David reminded a little, the Kingdom of Lordaeron is in disrepair, and many lands are polluted by natural disasters and plagues. Recruited by Liadrin: "You may consider visiting the Kingdom of Stormwind."
"It may not be necessary, Quel'Thalas has many followers of the Holy Light who respect you."
If it wasn't for taking care of her own motherland, Liadrin felt that she could have wiped out all the followers of the Holy Light in Quel'Thalas and brought them all to Winter City.
"That's an exaggeration."
David felt that if Liadrin really did that, maybe Quel'Thalas would break off relations with Winter City immediately.
After talking about the business, David also greeted Modu and Casillas. David found that these two Karma Taj mages were more respectful to him than before, which made him a little baffled—except for the newly arrived Rin At that time in Winter City, I didn't see these two people much, did I? Could it be that Liadrin taught some strange knowledge?
Coming out of the Cathedral of the Holy Light, David took Ethan back to Fort Glamorgan, where he showed him the main weapons and equipment of Winter City.
The Ironforge version of the Garand rifle has not been completely retired. Floyd said that this weapon can be used to train recruits. It is very suitable as a training firearm familiar with thermal weapons, because it is difficult for recruits to use the piccolo assault rifle as soon as they come up.
So the Garand rifle that should have been eliminated is still in active service, but it is no longer the official weapon of the main force.
Ethan tried a few shots and found that the recoil and power of this Garand rifle were both great. Even without the use of powerful ammunition, the power was still astonishing.
And he likes the pistol called Piano even more. The large capacity of 100 bullets in each magazine is really attractive.
Afterwards, David took Ethan to the Winter Alchemy Workshop, where he looked at more equipment and props.
"Storage bracelet, with a cubic meter of space inside; multifunctional glasses, with night vision, telephoto, camera, lock, anti-glare and other functions; holographic mask, cover this film on the face, you can project any A face; a small computer, which is convenient for hacking electronic devices at any time, and can also be used as gauntlets..."
In addition to storage bracelets, items such as multifunctional glasses and holographic masks have only recently begun to be mass-produced, and only in small batches.
These equipment will mainly be provided to the intelligence department in charge of Edwin Van Cleef. The intelligence personnel under him can better hide themselves in order to detect various information.
In addition, there are small bombs and flash bombs made into buttons and accessories. These props are all good things for intelligence personnel to use.
Ethan's eyes were straightened, wishing he could pack all the equipment in front of him.
He believes that with his own strength and courage, and with these equipments, there is no task he cannot complete, even if it is to let him invade the CIA headquarters, it is not so difficult.
He was a little skeptical, did the colleague he met earlier have enjoyed the various benefits here in Winter City?
Just as he was thinking this, David's communicator rang suddenly, and it was James Norrington who was looking for him.
Generally speaking, although David will carry a communicator with him, if it is not an emergency, everyone will come to Glamorgan Castle to find David. If they can't find it, they will find out David's whereabouts through Eva.
It was not a particularly urgent matter, so only Tony would use the communicator to find him, and James Norrington was absolutely impossible to do so.
So when he found out that it was James Norrington who contacted him, David's first reaction was that something happened on the Winter River!
"what happened?"
"My lord, you may need to come to the pier in person." James Norrington didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point: "A person was picked up here at the military pier, and his identity may be quite special."
