"What a pity..."

A few stared at Alves with envy. It was like sleeping alone was comfortable.

There was nothing they could do, even if they knew the treasure's secret in advance is what made them most helpless.

They didn't have dragons ...

Richard glanced at the few players who didn't care and waved his hand.

"Let them go."

The stone statue of the dead in the sky finally dissipated.

The few players were surprised and happy as they thanked him.

"Thank you, Big Shot Qingqiu!"

"Boss Qingqiu is indeed trustworthy. You deserve to be so awesome!"

"Qingqiu big shot's ox nose!"

He rolled and crawled away after he said that.

He was afraid that Richard would go back on his word.

Richard didn't pay any attention to these guys. He had the treasure, and these little lackeys didn't interest him.

He looked ahead.

He immediately noticed the number of skeleton blood dragons in the sky had increased significantly.

His eyes lit up as he opened the attribute panel. He found the system notification that he had ignored previously.

[Ding~ Gray has recruited four teams of skeleton blood dragons from the corpse of the desert dragon–160]

[Initial Level: 10]

[Potential: Crown 1-star]

"Four teams?"

Richard was satisfied.

Previously, he had killed over a thousand wyverns the beast troop raised. But he had only managed to recruit seven or eight teams.

The desert dragon's level 15 and higher potential were the key.

He was in a good mood.

They say the harvest this time was completely beyond his expectations.

His target, the skeleton blood dragon, had four more teams.

It was a Crown 1-star, a high-level soldier with an initial level of 10.

Richard would have to spend at least a few hundred thousand units of rare resources if he used resources to recruit them. Moreover, there was no place to recruit them.

The second reward was a level 17 desert dragon hero with an A-rank potential.

Although it seemed unless he could obtain a contract scroll, the chances of taming it were slim. He was not very interested in conquering this dragon with Alves.

Instead, he valued its value more.

In the later stages, as long as he completed the S-rank mission, he could obtain unexpected rewards with the help of the high-level divine weapon, the wishing scale...

The third was the inheritance of the golden dragon that Alves had obtained.

He had consumed a total of 30,000 dark crystals during the process.

This soldier could transform to a surprising extent if one has to judge from the strength of the dragon soul.

Richard looked forward to Alves's awakening in a month.

He was quite satisfied he had gained so much in these two to three days.

He decisively gave the order after he ensured clear situation in the surroundings.

"Everyone, return to Twilight City immediately."

It was not too late to send Alves back first and rest for a while before exploring the collapsed ruins where it hid the rotten tree.

On the way back, Richard did not sit on the other skeleton blood dragons. Instead, he controlled the sand to bring Alves along as they sped away from the ground.

Yellow Sand Control was an all-purpose skill in the desert.

This behemoth with 40 meters wingspan was easy to transport.

October 13th, sunset.

Richard saw a sandstorm that blotted the sun at the end of his line of sight.

An emotional feeling rose in his heart.

That was the feeling of home.

His feelings for Twilight City grew increasingly mightier as his bond with the city deepened. This territory now belonged to him and had become his heart's sustenance.

It was a wonderful feeling.

He told his subordinates to speed up and cross the sandstorm. They returned to Twilight City before nightfall.

The residents on the street were excited when they saw Richard.

"City Lord!"

"Good evening, my Lord…"

"Welcome home…"

Greetings of delight and respect continued.please visit pαпᵈα-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

In this land, Richard enjoyed absolute prestige.

Richard smiled and nodded at the crowd.

He returned to the Lord's mansion under the gazes of worship and madness.

First, he placed Alves asleep in the spacious backyard.

The most heavily guarded place was the Lord's mansion.

As long as Twilight City did not fall, nothing would happen to Alves.

Richard sat in a familiar position in the hall and drank the hot tea the maid had made after he dismissed the soldiers.

He was in a good mood.

He would never feel at ease in Twilight City. No matter how impressive he was in the outside world.

Soon after, Karu arrived in a hurry after he received the news.

The Twilight City butler grew older, but his mental state was sharp. He did not look old at all.

"Lord Richard."

Richard felt a little emotional when he looked at excited Karu.

Karu followed him first and had significant contributions to Twilight City.

It was a pity that he had yet to find a treasure that restores one's youth or extends one's lifespan. Otherwise, Karu could have continued to shine and heat up. He would not have been so worried that the other party would suddenly collapse that day.

Richard gestured to the seat beside him and said slowly.

"Karu, sit down.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry. I can hand things over to your subordinates to settle them. You don't have to do everything yourself."

Karu laughed.

"Lord Richard, I've finally found the meaning of my life after staying in Twilight City for half a year. It's my honor to sacrifice my life and soul for you and my city!"

Pride engulfed his tone.

He believed that more than one person had the same thoughts as him.

This city was worth everything he had.

Richard felt a little conflicted. He looked into the man's eyes, which were as bright as stars. He didn't know what to say.

Butler Karu came returned to his senses and smiled.

"Lord Richard, I should report to you about the recent situation in the territory."

Richard collected himself and nodded.

"Let's start from the underground world."

"Yes!"

Karu's tone became serious.

"First, the unification of the underground world is being completed step by step by Bloodhoof City. However, the progress is sparingly slow due to the need to integrate the small forces we have annexed. We estimated another three months to tame those that have escaped.

"Second, the weapons factory has been opened. The exchange of items and other surface items for weapons in the underworld has begun to spread in the underworld.

"The intelligent races of the underground world have responded well. Many forces contacted Bloodhoof City and established a cooperative relationship.

"Third, the development of alchemy technology in the primary city of the gray-colored dwarves is on the right track.

"Currently, Master Alchemist is in charge of the work. He has already entered the stage of full recovery. He is now integrating the alchemy technology left behind by the gray-colored dwarves. We estimated completion to happen by early November. By then, the level of alchemy technology will be even higher.

"Fourth, we've recruited several dungeon heroes in the underground world. Although most have the potential of D-rank, E-rank, and even F-rank, a few were B-rank heroes. A dwarf tribe that is said to have the bloodline of a god who has come to join us."

Richard's eyes lit up.

He had recruited heroes from the underworld for a long time. But he was sent away by the gray-colored dwarves' alchemy bomb.

Richard restarted this plan after he conquered the underworld.

The hero unit was fine. He had expected it, but what was with this dwarf with the bloodline of the gods?

Karu added as if he knew that Richard would be interested in dwarves.

"Those sacred-blood dwarves are said to have immense power in their bodies. However, because of the war, the method of development failed. Therefore, they have always had treasures that they could not use.

"I came to seek refuge to solve this problem."

"Where are the sacred-blood dwarves?"

"Everyone watched Fortress City."

Richard noted it down.

ραпdα-nᴏνɐ|-сom "I'll make a trip to the underground world later. I'll take a look then."

Karu continued to report.

"In Twilight City, the one-armed blacksmith Sam from the blacksmith shop had some insights while they researched offensive technology. His research has broken through to advanced offensive technology. He is currently working on advanced offensive technology. We estimated initial results to yield in a week."

Another surprise.

The mighty, one-armed blacksmith appeared in Richard's mind.

He admired the other party's personality.

He would use the strengthening crystal later to bestow him with a Beyond A-rank skill.

He didn't expect swift progress. They were about to develop advanced attack technology.

He was satisfied. It was like one could not shake the policy of nurturing talents.
