Chapter 42 The Disappearing Stele
Steve Rogers, Peggy Carter, Sharon Rogers, Winter Village has three more new residents. The most important thing is that these three people all have physical fitness beyond ordinary people, even if no one helps them It is very easy to build a new house, not to mention there are many people to help.
After learning that there were newcomers in the village, Fording, Laura, and Addis, who didn't know the truth, all welcomed them and helped a lot when building the new house.
So the houses of Steve, Peggy and Sharon were built very quickly, and the main body was completed in just two days. As for the internal arrangement and layout, you don't need everyone's help, they can handle it according to their preferences.
After completing the construction of his own house, Steve ran back and forth a few times, and Laura also went to buy some, helping Peggy and Sharon prepare enough daily necessities.
In this way, Peggy and Sharon officially live in Winter Village, except that Steve will often go back to his own world to see.
After building their own house, Steve and Peggy will also help ordinary villagers build houses, help Fording cut wood, and help Addis hunt—mainly responsible for moving the prey back.
Although they have just come to Cold Winter Village, whether it is Steve or Peggy, they quickly get acquainted with everyone and gain everyone's favor. This kind of talent that can win anyone's favor is too powerful.
In comparison, Sharon Rogers is not so conspicuous, and even stays in the corner from time to time, quietly watching Steve and Peggy, chatting happily with the people in the village.
"Not used to life here?"
"No." Sharon turned her head and glanced at the British girl named Laura: "I just discovered more deficiencies."
"Oh~ I see." Laura looked at the tall, beautiful girl with blond hair in front of her, and suddenly understood why she appeared here, and she always quietly observed her parents' parallel universe counterparts.
Everyone already knows the identities of several people. Except for Fording from the world of Azeroth, both Mark and Laura know Captain America.
As for Captain Carter and Sharon, who is suspected to be the daughter of Captain America, although they don’t know each other very well, they can roughly understand what’s going on when they think of Marvel’s many parallel universe settings.
"If you need any help, just come to me." After chatting for a few more words, Laura and Sharon waved goodbye and went straight to David.
Actually, Laura wanted to find David at the beginning. She happened to see Sharon standing there halfway, so she came over to say hello and chatted for a while.
"Does it look good?"
Walking in front of David, Laura deliberately stepped aside and raised her eyebrows at David.
"What?" David looked up at the distance, and then at Laura in front of him: "It's pretty."
"I won't be staying in the village often for a while, and here's your chance!" Laura smiled all over her face, as if reminding David, "New tea is here!" '.
"..." David glanced at Laura, didn't answer the question, but wondered why Laura didn't learn how to use the Holy Light from Fording today? He didn't go back to his manor to exercise his physical fitness: "Have you run out of holy light?"
"Not yet. I can clearly feel the holy light in my body now. You still have a lot of holy light infused into my body." After saying that, Laura always felt that this sentence seemed a bit strange, but after thinking about it There is nothing wrong with going there: "According to the current situation, unless I practice the few holy light spells I just learned all day long, I won't run out of holy light within a month or two."
If Laura exercises desperately, the holy light in her body will be consumed faster in order to repair the physical damage. According to Laura's idea, when she wants to consume the holy light in her body to almost nothing, she will come to Dai Vitamins are full.
At that time, she had almost learned the Holy Light spell, and her physical fitness had improved a lot. It was much safer to set off to take risks at that time.
"Speaking of which, is it really okay to put this thing there?" Laura glanced at Steve's house not far away. Although Steve doesn't live here often, after all, he can freely travel between the two worlds.
But he still brought a lot of daily items and arranged his house, one of which was a heavy locomotive, which was parked next to Steve’s wooden house at this time—a shed was built on the side of the wooden house just for parking.
"No problem, anyway, the people in the village don't know what it is."
A heavy locomotive weighing more than 200 kilograms is nothing to a super soldier like Steve, and it was easily brought here.
Even Steve, who has just completed the transformation, has not received more combat training, and cannot maximize his potential, can easily lift a heavy locomotive and three plump beauties with ease. It's no different than lifting a foam board.
Thinking of some people in his previous life who always said that Steve’s physical fitness was the limit of human beings, David felt very speechless: Whether it was in the comics, the data given by Marvel, or the various performances of Captain America in the movie universe, Steve’s Physical fitness belongs to the extraordinary level, even if it is a lower level in the extraordinary level, it is not the same as the so-called human limit.
Captain Carter, like Captain America Steve, has received a super-soldier transformation to obtain a strong physical fitness; as for Sharon Rogers, it is a super quality inherited from his father, which is a natural superman.
Adding Azeroth's first paladin Tirion Fordring, Tomb Destroyer, paladin apprentice Laura Crawford, and David himself, the force value of Winter Village seems a bit too high.
"I always feel that it is not a good omen."
"Don't set up flags indiscriminately!" Laura heard David's thoughts and reminded him not to say such words: "Especially at this time."
"What do you mean?" David realized that there was an extra meaning in Laura's words, and remembered that Laura seemed to come here specifically to find him: "Is there a situation?"
"Well, remember the ancient altar that the two of us accidentally discovered before?" After the gossip was over, it was time to get down to business. Laura lowered her voice and mentioned what she and David discovered when they explored the northern forest: " I took another look today."
"What's abnormal?"
David certainly remembered the altar. At that time, he thought about taking the harvested potatoes when he was free, and offering them according to the words on the altar.
But after discovering that the troll used a similar altar to obtain weird powers, he was not going to do that. He was worried about attracting some strange power or attention, and even thought about destroying the altar.
It’s just that after that, he went back and forth to Iron Tree Fort continuously, and when he came back, he was busy arranging new farmers, and then he was a small blacksmith and various captains. He almost forgot about it.
"The stele is gone."
"Huh?" David suspected that he might have misunderstood the meaning of Laura's words: "The stele is gone? Literally gone?"
"Yes, the stone tablet in the literal sense is missing, and the entire altar has also been destroyed." Laura described her discovery in detail.
According to Laura, the altar under the mine is no longer an altar, only the remains of the base of the altar are left, and the entire base has collapsed into tiny pieces, and it is difficult to put it back together again. Almost impossible to do.
Besides, the stele at the core of the altar disappeared without a trace.
"I have carefully checked the rubble, and it definitely does not include the stele." Laura is confident enough in her professional ability, and she can be 100% sure that the rubble does not include any part of the stele.
"Earthquake?" As soon as he said it, David himself denied this guess. The mine is not far from Lindong Village. If such a strong earthquake occurs, it is impossible for this side not to notice it; and how did the earthquake wipe out the stone tablet? Shake it directly into powder? "Someone took the stele away and destroyed the rest of the altar."
This is the greatest possibility. David immediately thought of a creature like a troll, but he doubted whether that troll had such an IQ.
"Maloney Mansfield?" After much deliberation, the biggest suspicion fell on Maloney Mansfield. This noble official from Iron Tree Castle was the only one who came to Cold Winter Village during this period and did not Been an 'outsider' for a long time.
Although Maloni came to Cold Winter Village, he spent most of his time 'visiting' the village with David, and rarely went around the village, but this kind of thing does not require a person of his status to do it himself, Maloni The things done by his subordinates will naturally be attributed to this noble official.
Of course, David did not rule out that one of Maloney's subordinates did it, and Maloney himself didn't know about it.
"Whoever did it, what is the purpose of doing it? Will it threaten us?"
Compared with who did it, this is the most critical question!
David thought for a while, but found that he couldn't think of an answer at all, because there were many things that he couldn't figure out by sitting here and thinking. He lacked enough intelligence information, and he didn't know where to start to analyze.
In this case, the only way is to make yourself stronger in order to deal with various crises that may arise.
"As long as we are strong enough, then any conspiracy will be helpless against us."
Hearing that what David came up with was not a solution, Laura felt that this coping method was too passive, but she couldn't think of a good method other than that. But soon Laura discovered that David's "self-strength" was a little different from what she thought.
"Laura, can you get some heavy machine guns, mortars and other weapons?"
"..."
