Chapter 59: An ever-growing arsenal

Chapter 59 More and more substantial arsenal

After dealing with the "contract issue" between Will and the ten new serfs, David filled in all the information on the document recording the household registration information of Lindong Village.

According to the information in this document, Lindong Village is currently a village with 30 permanent residents, and Elizabeth is not included in this list.

"When Fording recruits Van Cleef's group of stonemasons, it may increase the population to more than fifty."

Fifty people, I used to think that fifty people were nothing at all, but after joining the pioneering team, I learned a lot about the villages and towns of the Kingdom of Tilan.

With a permanent population of 50, it is already quite a small village. If the various infrastructures in David's plan are built, it will be the prototype of a small town.

"If you want to truly upgrade a village into a town, you must have at least a few hundred permanent residents."

This is already the minimum standard: a few hundred people, sufficient infrastructure, and conditions can be met to become Cold Winter Town, which is David's next goal.

After finishing these things, it was almost noon.

Put away the documents that recorded various information of Lindong Village. With the gradual development of Lindong Village, David realized that he needed to recruit a clerical staff such as a clerk. There will be more and more people in the future, and they need to be sorted out There are more and more files, can I still be busy?

It’s okay when it’s a small village, but when it develops into a town, there are not only many things to deal with but also messy things, and it’s definitely not enough to handle everything by yourself.

In addition, Will and Elizabeth also brought a new problem: language!

It wasn't until Elizabeth sent ten serfs to Will that the daughter of the Governor of Port Royal discovered that the official language of Cold Winter Village is the common language of the world, but everyone who is also a visitor from another world understands English, so that She didn't realize it.

She also realized that the biggest obstacle between Will and the ordinary villagers of Cold Winter Village was not that Will didn't get in touch with them, but that they couldn't communicate because of the language barrier.

Now Will and Elizabeth's top priority is to learn the language of this world. Fortunately, Peggy and Sharon, who are newcomers, are very capable of learning. Although they haven't been here for long, they can already Basic communication using common language.

It was precisely because none of the three captains had any language barriers that David ignored this matter. He has no special solution to this, but to let Will study hard.

"So, you want me to write a common language textbook?" Laura moved things back and forth, and stopped to take a rest when she saw that it was time for lunch, but was caught by David: "Convenient Will learn the language of this world?"

"It's not just Will, it will be used in the future." There will be more people coming over in the future. It is definitely the best choice to make this basic textbook directly. As for whether you want to learn it or not? It depends entirely on his personal wishes, and David is not going to enforce it.

"English to learn a common language?"

"Just write this first." From the current point of view, the teaching materials for learning lingua franca in English are the top priority.

"What about Chinese?"

"Don't worry about this..." David suddenly thought that he would need to use learning materials for the Common Language of Azeroth and the Common Language of the World, but he had to do it himself. After all, there was no one in the village except David. , Only Fording understands the common language of Azeroth, and Fording is now on his way to ride a horse to the western wilderness in Azeroth.

The two discussed for a while and decided on the division of labor: Laura wrote the textbook for learning the Common Language of English, and David wrote the textbook for the Common Language of Azeroth.

After discussing this matter, David became concerned about what Laura was busy with these two days?

"Want to see?"

"certainly!"

Follow Laura to a temporary wooden shed, just behind Laura's wooden house, that is, to the north of the wooden house.

When Laura flipped one of the covers off, David was shocked, then surprised: "Machine gun?"

"Two M2 Browning machine guns, and enough bullets." Laura folded her hands on her chest, raised her head, and introduced her efforts during this period to David: "There are also ten HK416 assault rifles, each with Additional barrels of various sizes can be replaced, as well as accessories including gun lights, various sights, grenade launchers, etc.”

"..." David looked at Laura speechlessly. Is this going to war?

But after thinking about it, the situation facing Lindong Village now is no different from a war, so this question disappeared in an instant, leaving only ecstasy.

"There are still twenty pistols. Considering the power, the pistols shipped this time are all Browning M1911 pistols, including a few left-handed ones." With the experience of facing the troll, Laura felt that the power of those pistols was too small. The pistol can be directly removed from the candidate list, and it will definitely not meet David's needs.

David took two of them by hand and weighed them in his hands. He didn't think about choosing two new guns for himself, but thought of another question: "Tell me, can Will build a gun by hand? ?”

In her world, there are many people engaged in this kind of work. I personally or a few people set up a small workshop to take over special custom business: "It just needs special equipment and raw materials."

Laura guessed that David might want Will to make a firearm from nothing, from scratch.

David also understands how troublesome it is, and this kind of behavior is very uneconomical.

Instead of spending time and energy training the little blacksmith into a half-assed engineer, it is better to let him give full play to his expertise.

As for the custom-made firearms that he has been thinking about, he can use another method to solve it: make a request by himself, and then Laura will go to a top gunsmith to make one, which will not cost much.

Putting the two pistols back into the box, David found that Laura had left a large space in the wooden shed, and there should be something to be transported.

"Is there anything left? More bullets and grenades?"

"No, it's a big guy." Laura didn't say what she wanted to bring over, but deliberately showed a mysterious smile.

"Even if you bring a fighter jet over here now, I won't be surprised."

Seeing David's indifferent attitude, Laura suddenly felt that a lot of fun had been lost, and said the answer simply and neatly: "It's a weasel."

"What's that?" David asked with question marks all over his face, not knowing exactly what Laura was talking about.

"You'll find out after a while." Laura still didn't explain what a "weasel" was in the end, but she estimated that David would be able to figure out what it was after she brought some parts over.

The two chatted for a few more words, then turned and returned to the 'Main Street'. Fording was standing on this road, which Mark jokingly called the First Avenue of Winter.

David realized that Fording was back, so he and Laura walked back from the back of the cabin to the front.

"Tirion, have you disposed of all those things?"

It has been a few days since Fording brought all kinds of 'criminal evidence' to Azeroth. It seems that Fording has dealt with those things. The two horses that Fording is leading at this time are not David and the others. Any war horse captured.

"Yes, they are all disposed of. Those things are worth a lot more than I expected."

Not to mention the six war horses, the armor worn by the cavalry is nothing unusual, but the armor on Gregory is a bit special.

"Gregory's armor seems to be mixed with some kind of special metal, which makes the armor very strong and tough. It was valued by a dwarf blacksmith and bought at a high price." Fording briefly summarized the following In this transaction, not only did they exchange two top horses, but there were even some extra goodies.

Azeroth's top warhorse means that in addition to being able to carry a full-body canned knight on a long journey and launch a charge at any time, it can also make itself like an iron can, covered with a strong heavy armor. As for the extra reward Fording said, it was a few pieces of metal he took out from the bag hanging on the horse's back.

"What kind of metal is this?" David is not an expert in this field. There is no need to pretend to watch it for a long time. When Fording took it out, he directly asked for the answer.

"Light cast iron, this metal itself has sacred properties, it is a very special metal." According to Fording's description, some paladins and priests like to add this metal when forging weapons or armor, Fording deliberately put When I got this thing back, it was obviously for David: "You can consider using these light cast irons to make a handy weapon... Oh, bows and arrows may not work."

"Good stuff!"

In fact, when Fording said the name Light Cast Iron, he knew what this thing was! After all, in the past, he had the painful experience of killing dozens of murlocs without losing a single piece of cast iron. The memory was so deep that he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to.

"In addition, I'm going to Ironforge soon. From Ironforge, I can take the subway directly to Stormwind City, and after leaving Stormwind City, I can reach Westfall soon." The most difficult part of the road is over, and the rest will be easy Many, the speed will naturally be faster.

"Thanks a lot."

Fording waved his hand and said it was nothing. He handed the light cast iron to David, added some food and water, and led two horses back to Azeroth. Next, he will go all out and run to the west in one breath. Let's talk about the wilderness.

Seeing Fording's figure disappear again, David remembered that he had promised to help Fording get a set of chronicles.

"Laura."

"What's up?"

"Can you buy the Warcraft Chronicles there?" David thought for a while, and added: "If possible, buy a Warcraft game as well."

"Do you want to install a stand-alone version of World of Warcraft?" Laura understood what David was going to do.

"Of course! Remember to install each expansion pack separately."
