Age of Empires From Scratch

With the small round cakes slowly emerging from the horizon, the sky gradually became brighter. David, who had already packed up and finished his breakfast, picked up his full luggage.

Because he was carrying a backpack, he had to hold the hunting bow in his hand, which was also convenient for him to respond in time when he encountered danger.

Compared with David, Laura's backpack is much smaller, which allows her to hang the hunting bow on the outside of the backpack, without having to hold it with her hands alone, and it is convenient for her to use it at any time.

In addition to the bow and arrow, Laura used to hang two climbing picks on her waist, and David had a hand ax on his waist.

This is the ostensible arming of the two, with a pistol hidden under their clothes, and a shotgun hidden in the side of Laura's backpack. In addition, David is already an excellent priest of the Holy Light, and the safety of the two of them along the way is still guaranteed.

After saying goodbye to Fording and Mark, David and Laura embarked on the journey to Iron Tree Fort...

after an hour.

Walking along the river on the green grass that exudes a faint fragrance, Laura felt that this trip was more like an outing or outing: It would be more like if the backpack wasn't so heavy.

Just think we're out for a picnic! It's boring to stay in the village all the time.

Not to mention a person like Laura who never rests, David can't stand it anymore, especially the period of the first two years when there was little hope.

In the past few months, David lived comfortably and had hope, so he stayed in the village happily.

After chatting and walking for a long time, David didn't know how far the two had traveled, but he felt that at this speed, he might arrive at Iron Tree Fort earlier than he expected.

Whether it is David or Laura, their physical strength is far stronger than that of ordinary people, and there is no large force to drag them down, so the speed of advancement is quite fast.

After walking for almost a day, David decided to stop and prepare for the night before the sun had really set and the light was still abundant.

Let's rest here today.

David looked around. The terrain was very flat, with green grass as far as the eye could see. There was basically no place to shelter from the wind and rain. However, there was a gravel beach by the river, where you could choose to light a fire.

As for firewood, David chose to stop here precisely because there were a few unattractive crooked-neck trees next to them. Just chopping a few wrist-thick branches was enough for them to get through the night.

I'm going to catch some fish in the river for dinner. Laura put the backpack on the ground and walked towards the trees with David: But I need some tools.

Watching Laura pick a wooden stick more than one meter long, and then use a dagger to cut one end into a spike, David understood that Laura was planning to use this thing to spear fish.

No hook?

It's better to use this thing. Laura inspected her work and nodded with satisfaction: I'm going to catch fish!

David nodded to show that he understood, and continued to collect firewood. Because he was focused enough, David quickly finished his work, collected enough firewood, and returned to the temporary camp that was previously set.

On the gravel beach, a bonfire has been built with stones, and there are two treated fish, which are placed not far from the bonfire.

Laura?

David looked around, but he didn't see Laura. Could it be that he was still in the river? After walking a few steps towards the river, David found Laura's clothes, shoes and socks, and just left them there casually.

...

He yelled again, before David could decide whether to search on both sides or go back to the campfire to roast the fish first, the sound of water came from right in front of him.

Laura, who got out of the river, wiped her face, and greeted David excitedly: It's very comfortable in the water, why don't you come down to take a bath after walking for a day?

Ah... this...

What a tempting suggestion it sounds, especially the person who sent the invitation to him is the famous Laura, who was a world-renowned adventurer in her previous life, the goddess in the hearts of countless people, and her search popularity on certain websites has always been at the top of the list , firmly suppressing another goddess known as the Holy City.

What? Are you shy? Laura swam closer to the shore, carefully looked at David's expression, and found it very interesting.

How is it possible! David argued with a straight face: I just didn't bring a swimsuit.

Laura smiled and winked at David: I didn't bring it either!

Plop! Blast a beautiful splash...

David and Laura are not going to have a good time, right? Mark is eating hot stew with a piece of pasta, and a TV series is playing on the laptop on the table - of course, Laura helped bring here.

Fording, who was sitting side by side with Mark, had already finished the portion of stew in front of him. He didn't get up to fill another portion for himself when he was not full. Instead, he sat in his seat and watched the movie called Band of Brothers TV show.

David walked all the way to this place before, and this is not an unfamiliar experience for him. After a while, Fording answered Mark's question: Laura does not lack this kind of experience in the wild. .However, the road must not be so easy...

The originally fat big fish lay on the gravel, watched as it gradually became thinner, until only a skeleton remained and was completely abandoned.

His widened eyes seemed to be accusing the man and woman next to him, but unfortunately, neither the man nor the woman was looking at it at all, and were frantically fighting for the last bit of fish in the other party's mouth.

In the fierce confrontation, the last piece of fish was completely obliterated, and neither of them knew who was the winner in the end, and maybe both were winners.

I knew it, you've been greedy for me for a long time. Laura's actions were obviously premeditated, and David looked up at the stars in the night sky and sighed: Boys really want to protect themselves when they are outside, especially when I am so handsome and cute. Strong boy.

Laura looked at David's unflattering expression, rolled her beautiful eyes and complained, I don't see how you look like a child.

Looking at the clothes thrown by the fire, David's soaked clothes had already dried, and he turned over to look at the sky: The night sky here is so beautiful.

David didn't answer, but just spread out his arms as a pillow, and at the same time picked up the clothes from the side and covered Laura.

When I was at home, I couldn't see such a beautiful starry sky at night. The modern world wants to see the starry night sky, and the conditions are too harsh. Anyway, living in the city or even the suburbs has no way to see so much Star.

David didn't say anything, but just listened to Laura quietly, but he didn't expect Laura's next sentence to make him startled.

You should feel the same way, right?

Ah? Why do you say that? David pretended to be stupid...

Laura turned her head and glanced at David. The purpose was David's innocent face and 'pure' eyes. If his hands were also so pure, Laura might believe it.

But Laura didn't continue to dwell on this topic. Perhaps she felt that the answers that were forced to be asked, no matter whether they were true or false, were of no use.

Since David doesn't want to talk about it now, let's talk about it later!

Closing his eyes, the extremely tiring day ended like this. Seeing that Laura had fallen asleep, David closed his eyes too.

When I opened my eyes again, the sky was already bright, and the sun had risen even higher. In addition, the two of them needed some time to tidy up. By the time they set off again, it was almost noon.

Should set an alarm.

Laura felt that she got up a little late, which would affect her journey; David didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He had exhausted so much energy yesterday and needed to rest more to recover. If you are not physically fit enough to rush on the road, not only will you not be able to walk too much, but it will also easily hurt your body.

I'm strong. Laura compared a bodybuilding posture while walking, wanting to show off her biceps that can kill a cow with a punch, and then suddenly glanced at David, with a strange smile on her face: Could it be...

Don't you know my physical fitness? Not to mention that he himself is a hunter who lives by hunting wild animals. Since he learned the way of the Holy Light from Fording, David's physical fitness has been improving. Now he only You can beat yourself up a few months ago with your bare hands.

Even so, he didn't see the end. Under the protection of the Holy Light, he seemed to be able to improve without limit, as long as he was willing to work hard. After practicing like this, he suspects that he will soon have a body of steel, even if it is a bankrupt version!

Speaking of the holy light... I really envy you for mastering the holy light so quickly. Laura also learned the knowledge of the holy light from Fording, but like Mark, although she understood what the way of the holy light is, she still didn't get it The favor of the Holy Light.

Is it necessary to do those things personally, as Fording said, in order to be recognized by the Holy Light? But even if she wants to help people in need, no one needs her help now - the most difficult thing is David in front of her, and she has really helped a lot.

It would be great if you could share the holy light with me.

What?

I said, it would be great if you could share your holy light with me. Laura thought that David just didn't hear clearly, after all, the two of them were on their way: I also want to feel what it feels like to have mysterious power.

Although she has already experienced the effects of auxiliary spells such as the Holy Light Shield, the spells not released by herself can only make her marvel at the effects of the spells.

After David heard it, he suddenly stopped and thought about Laura's words: It doesn't seem impossible.

Ah? Laura just said a few words casually, but she didn't expect David to actually have such thoughts: Are you serious? There won't be any problems, right?

probably not.

David thought about it carefully, and determined that there was no hidden danger in his idea, because there is a group in the world of Azeroth that uses holy light in this way.

Before coming to this world, David manipulated his blood elf paladins to find geomantic treasures in Azeroth!

It's just that how to do this kind of specific operation is carefully studied, and we will try it after we return from Iron Tree Fort.
