Age of Empires From Scratch

David frowned and looked at the person in front of him. He felt a very strong dark aura from this person who completely covered his appearance.

This energy aroused the intense reaction of the holy light in his body, and his whole body seemed to be sending out warnings to himself.

"who are you?"

This is the first time for David to encounter such a situation. Does this mean that the newcomer this time will be a villain or something? Silently using the holy light to protect himself, he is ready to expel the opponent at any time.

"Hello, I'm just a homeless man, but I've lost my way. May I ask where is this place?" The man under the cover of the robe made a male voice, mixed with a little doubt and a clear sense of weakness: "How far is it from Tristram?"

"Tristriam..." David looked carefully at the man in front of him. Because of the close distance and the fact that the man didn't keep his head down and hide his face with a hood, David could see a picture full of determination, this time A male face that looked weak at times.

The most important thing is that David noticed a flash of light on the other person's forehead. People who don't know it will take it as a reflection of some kind of headgear, and David knows what it is after guessing the other person's identity son.

"Soul Stone... Dark Wanderer... Diablo!"

Judging from the opponent's reaction, this hero who had eliminated Diablo hadn't been completely eroded and corrupted by Diablo's power at this time, and still retained his original consciousness.

"This is Cold Winter Town."

"Winter Town?"

David briefly introduced Cold Winter Town to the other party. When the other party heard that this was actually another world, he unconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead, and murmured as if thinking of something: "No wonder... ..."

"Oh, I'm sorry for not introducing myself first. My name is Aidan." Aidan didn't intend to shake hands with the lord named David in front of him. At this time, he didn't want to contact anyone: "If possible, I would like Rest in your town for a few days... Of course, if you don't welcome me, I can leave immediately."

"Winter Town welcomes any friends who are not hostile." David said the words that are often used to welcome newcomers, and then began to look at Aidan in front of him.

This man who once defeated Diablo, the fearful demon king, sealed him in the soul stone, and finally inserted the soul stone on his forehead, trying to seal Diablo with his own will, seems to have not yet become Dark Wanderer.

"But there's one thing I want to make sure of."

"whats the matter?"

"That thing on your forehead, how long has it been?"

"..." Aidan smiled wryly. With his attire and his head lowered as much as possible to cover it with a hood, he just didn't want people to see it: "To be honest, I don't know, maybe two or three days? Maybe longer."

Ever since he inserted the soul stone into his forehead, he has become muddled.

He knew there was a huge risk in doing so, but when he just defeated Diablo, he had absolute confidence in his spiritual will, and he firmly believed that he could suppress that evil demon king.

It turned out that he overestimated himself!

If he hadn't come to this magical place in a daze, maybe he would have continued in a daze.

Ever since he came to Cold Winter Town, he finally got rid of that muddled state. After staying for such a short time, he felt that his spirit had recovered a lot, and the murmur that kept appearing in a trance had completely disappeared. not see.

He guessed that it might be because he came to another world?

Although it is not clear whether there is a causal relationship, Aidan feels that as long as he stays in this place, he can really suppress Diablo and keep the dreadlord from hell in a sealed state forever.

However, he was also worried that this was just his own illusion. If Diablo was accidentally released, then this beautiful city might be destroyed in the hands of the Dread Demon King.

Therefore, Aidan only proposed to take a short rest in Cold Winter Town. He hoped that he could recover his body and spirit here, then leave and return to his original world, and continue to fight against Diablo with his own spiritual will.

But having had actual experience, he already knew that it was very difficult to truly suppress that dreaded demon king with his own will.

The final result of going back should not develop according to his ideas.

what to do? Continue to stay in this place, leave the danger to a strange world, so that my world can not be threatened by the fear king?

Or go back? Let the dreadlord come again?

Aidan was caught in a painful tangle, and the sense of justice in his chest made him unable to make a decision to keep the danger in this world; but the desire to guard his home made him not want Diablo to threaten his world again.

Just when he didn't know what he should do, the young lord in front of him suddenly stretched out his hand and signaled to himself: "I'm sorry."

Although he didn't understand what the other party was going to do, Aidan didn't refuse, indicating that the other party could do whatever he wanted.

Afterwards, he saw David reach out and touch the soul stone on his forehead, and then a golden but not dazzling, warm and comfortable light emanated from the opponent's hand.

Aidan felt a warmth enveloping his whole body, and his body, which had become much weaker, seemed to be slowly recovering to its best condition.

"What kind of power is this?"

"Holy light!"

Aidan felt that this power was a bit like the Light Force used by the Zakarum Order, but it was a little different.

Just when he wanted to feel this force, David had already retracted his hand, and the warm force disappeared.

"It seems that the stone on your forehead has fallen into silence."

David felt a very huge power from the soul stone on Aidan's forehead. This power was familiar but strange. He said it was familiar, but he always felt that he had seen this kind of power somewhere.

Strange, because he can be sure that he has never really come into contact with this powerful force.

This awkward feeling made him very uncomfortable, just like the feeling when he clearly knew that he had 'forgot something', but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't remember what it was.

However, he can be sure that Aidan was protected by this power when he was in Rinwinter Town. Diablo in the soul stone could not continue to erode and corrupt this human hero who defeated and sealed the Dread Demon King. Wintertown is in a state of absolute safety.

After telling Aidan about his discovery, the prince of Kanduras showed a little joy on his face, but at the same time he was a little worried.

"I know that my current situation is a huge threat to your territory..."

"I know what you want to say, but I think any trouble can be solved." David looked at Aidan in front of him. Although he didn't figure out what was going on with the mysterious power, he had a feeling There is a wonderful feeling that it is impossible for Diablo to break through the blockade of this force.

In other words, if Aidan is willing, he can live in Cold Winter Town for a long time, and Diablo will never be able to corrupt him and occupy his body to resurrect him.

"Besides, I have a guy with similar experience as you. Maybe you can get some experience from him." Since his Winter Town will not be threatened, David will naturally not drive Aidan away.

He still respects this kind of hero who is willing to sacrifice himself to save the world.

He doesn't mind doing good things to save the world when he can do it and he won't be threatened.

As long as Aidan stays in Cold Winter Town, Diablo will not be resurrected again, and the world of Sanctuary will suffer a lot less disaster. I don't know how many people will save their lives because of David's words.

David has always felt that he is barely a good person, and this time he just did a small good thing!

But this trivial matter to David is completely different to Aidan. He is very grateful for David's 'acceptance', especially in this state.

"Thank you very much."

After expressing his thanks again, Aidan asked David, what was the name of the person he just mentioned who had a similar experience to himself? Where can I find that person?

"His name is Medivh, and he usually lives in the hotel...that building over there."

David still saw Aidan on the square at the main entrance of Glamorgan Castle. Standing here, he could see the Winter Hotel not far away.

"You can also live there for the time being."

For these people from other worlds, they will be placed in Jonah's Winter Hotel before they really decide to settle down.

If they want to really settle in Cold Winter Town, they can choose an existing house, or find a favorite location, and build a house with their own style.

Normally, with the development of Cold Winter Town, when newcomers come to settle here again, it is impossible for them to receive all kinds of preferential treatment like those who came to Cold Winter Town back then.

But the situation of visitors from another world is quite special. David has not yet figured out how to adjust it? Arrangements are still made in accordance with the previous routine.

Anyway, with a golden finger in his pocket, David will definitely not lose money.

When David said that Aidan could settle in Winter Town, the hero from the world of Diablo had already paid his "reward".

It's just that David first took Aidan to see Jonah and helped him arrange a place to live; then he took him to see Medivh, and asked Medivh to help teach Aidan Brennia's common language.

After everything was arranged, he had time to check the reward he got from Aidan.

"What is this thing?"

The reward this time is not some kind of physical strengthening, nor is it an improvement of mental will. It seems to be a real thing, and it was directly given to David.

But looking at the energy cyclone-like existence in his hand, David was not sure if it was real or not?
