437 Chapter 340: Imagination of the Underground World, Future Weapons Factory
In the end, Richard didn’t let go of the unfilial [Steamed Bun Lover.]
However, he didn’t take the orcs with him. He gave them all to the bun lover. He had obtained the seed of the world tree last time. He also gained several benefits from the battle with the orcs this time. He didn’t want to get entangled with these troops that didn’t suit Twilight City.
However, the bun lover was also a stubborn person. Since Richard could not acknowledge him as his G.o.dfather, he still gave him two Teleportation Scrolls.
This sparingly embarra.s.sed Richard. He gained too much from this guy, but he didn’t refuse and accepted the scroll with a smile.
“This guy is also not bad. I can make more friends in the future. It’s a long journey, and who knows what will happen in the future?”
The other party could get the seed of the world tree from the beginning. [Steamed Bun Lover] luck was good, and he might surprise him at any time.
[Where’s Your Italian F*cking Italian Cannon] was a good example.
Richard didn’t stay in the Orc City for long. He took all the loot and returned to Twilight City.
The bun lover felt a great sense of regret. He’d had the beast-eared girls prepare a dress-up dance for Richard. And it ruined his initial plan to give Richard the few beast-eared girls.
Richard gave a few more instructions before he crossed the portal. He asked [Steamed Bun Lover] to help him gather information about the vampire’s castle, which might come in handy in the future.
The blood coffin in which the blood race Grand Duke slept was still in his hands.
He would pull it out of its coffin in the future, although he has no deal with the boss inside now.
The bun lover promised happily. He was delighted to ride on Richard’s cape tail.
[Steamed Bun Lover] had seen the true power of the Twilight City after he took over the Orc City with ease, and his desire to ride on its cape tails was unshakeable.
When the last skeleton blood dragon folded its wings and pa.s.sed through the s.p.a.ce gate, ‘crack!’
The s.p.a.ce in front of him suddenly shattered and then returned to usual.
Only the bun lovers and the harpies remained in the city ruins.
The harpie hero said in a low voice as Richard disappeared.
“My Lord, Lord Qingqiu has already eliminated the main force of the orcs, but there are still several soldiers outside. We still need to be careful.
Pa.s.sion shrouded its eyes as it spoke.
“Without the threat of the orcs, it’s time for us to develop quickly.”
The bun lover harshly smiled when he heard this.
“Be careful?”
Richard dealt with the main force and left only the defeated. He could not be careless.
The difference…
He shook his head and was too lazy to think about it. To compare himself to Richard was simply asking for unhappiness.
What qualifications did he have? Even tens of billions of people couldn’t compare to Richard.
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
“We eliminate the threat of the orcs as soon as possible. We can’t even do such a small thing when Boss Qingqiu asks us next time!
“Immediately send people to search for information about the vampire’s castle!”
“Yes, Lord!”
The land of quicksand.
Richard had smiled ever since he returned from the Orc City.
This time, he not only fulfilled his promise to [Steamed Bun Lover], but the profit was also so great that it surprised him.
He was more than happy to have similar activities in the future.
He buried the blood coffin where the blood race Grand Duke slept under the roots of G.o.d’s ancient tree.
Let this boss protect them.
There was a ma.s.sive s.p.a.ce under the G.o.d’s ancient tree.
Ads by PubFuture Magical plants that Richard had acquired from the underground world filled it.
The plants in the underworld didn’t like light. And there was no place to grow them in Twilight City, so he had just left them in the land of quicksand.
There were also magic plants that could create ice.
His initial plan was to preserve the corpses of the heroes that the G.o.d’s ancient tree slaughtered and use them to recruit the blood mummies in the future.
Maybe, there would be a hero.
In addition to the four orc hero corpses they brought back this time, there were more than 20 corpses in the storage.
Now, it could fully use to place the blood coffin.
Moreover, with this boss guarding it, the blood coffin would be safer than it was in Twilight City.
Richard asked the heroes to return to Twilight City with their troops after he settled everything, and he called for the void sandworm.
This 30-meter-long “little guy” was like a mountain that lay on the sand, full of oppression.
Dark golden runes covered its body and made it look extraordinary.
Richard pressed a hand on the worm’s mouth. Light began to emanate from his body, and his psychic energy began to link up with the worm’s soul.
The gains from this expedition had given him a new idea–to continue the hunt for powerful forces.
The desert of death was too barren, and he had to think of a way.
However, the difficulty of this idea was the distance.
The desert of death was so vast. He couldn’t spend half a month to a month on the road, right?
It would be of great help to the development of Twilight City if the void sandworm could solve this problem.
The spiritual transmission… Could he open the spatial rift in the primary plane if he had detailed coordinates?
The void sandworm’s response surprised him.
It could open a spatial rift no matter where it was as long as it had the coordinates.
However, Richard was a little regretful.
The void sandworm was still in its infant stage, so opening a spatial rift was ma.s.sive for it.
Moreover, due to the restrictions of the perfect rules of the primary plane, the energy required to maintain the spatial rift was several times more than that of the other planes.
Therefore, he still couldn’t do what he wanted–to go wherever he wanted.
Richard was sparingly disappointed. Just because he couldn’t do it now didn’t mean he couldn’t do it in the future.
When the void sandworm matured, it would often leave the desert of death to hunt. It would no longer be an illusory dream.
He felt that the void sandworm’s value was limitless after the battle with the orcs.
Long-distance travel had always been a big problem because the “Shining Era” was so huge that it was borderless.
Otherwise, he would not have placed so much importance on the development of the flying troops.
It could maintain the spatial rift for a long time if the void sandworm reached adulthood.
Therefore, its value was strategic.
It was no wonder the president of the Scarlet Council, the big boss who rubbed the plane with his bare hands, repeatedly warned that the void sandworm had unlimited potential.
It was a pity that he had only gotten one.
Wouldn’t he be able to go wherever he wanted in the entire “Shining Era”?
He glanced at the remaining ordinary sandworms with a bit of regret.
However, these big guys were also helpful.
It was like a mechanical transportation workshop which they did not build.
It would be a good thing to let these sandworms pull the carriage.
Richard decided to return to Twilight City after he pondered.
At this moment, the two-way portal in the land of quicksand connected to the underground world flickered, and a blood-colored mummy appeared in their sight.
Its empty eyes scanned the surroundings. It immediately stepped forward and saluted when it sensed the lord’s aura.
“Great Lord, news from Bloodhoof City…”
It presented a sealed letter with both hands as it spoke.
Richard raised an eyebrow.
He had planned to attack the underground world after they slaughtered the orcs, and now they had sent a letter.
He reached out to take it and opened it.
He was sparingly surprised after he pondered.
The letter said that the gray-colored dwarves had gathered all their troops and marched toward Bloodhoof City.
They will arrive at Bloodhoof City on the 6th of September.
The final battle will begin.
This battle would determine the ownership of the underground world.
Richard sighed. The underground world was finally coming to an end.
Although Twilight City did not involve with it for a long time…
However, it also affected the situation in the underground world.
The enemies could have destroyed Bloodhoof City long ago if not for Twilight City.
It was also because of him that the war had lasted until now.
After the last time the duergar had used a trick to kill him, he had long been unable to hold back his inner desire.
He could not resist to unify the underground world and become the only overlord.
Richard kept the letter and returned to Twilight City. He immediately summoned the level 12 gray-colored dwarf alchemist, Brown.
The alchemist he s.n.a.t.c.hed from the underground world had now utterly submitted.
Even the most unyielding character could not hold on for too long with the support of the high people’s hearts.
This a.s.similation ability toward new members was hard for outsiders to imagine.
Brown, whose arms are as short as a bean sprout and disabled, saluted Richard with great respect when it saw him.
“Lord.”
Respect shrouded its face from the bottom of its heart. It was no longer as unwilling as it was when Richard first brought it to Twilight City.
Richard looked at the hero in charge of alchemy-related work in Twilight City and nodded slightly.
“You’ve done a good job during this time. You didn’t let me down.”
Then, he repeated the changes in the underground world and said, “Now, we’re going to attack the duergar. Do you have any suggestions?”
Brown was so excited that he couldn’t control himself when it heard this.
The alchemist had fantasized countless times that one day it could kill its way back and ruthlessly step on the current duegar chieftain who drove it out from the primary city.
Now, the opportunity had finally come.
It couldn’t suppress the excitement in its heart even after it took a few deep breaths. Finally, the alchemist spoke in a deep voice after it pondered.
“Lord, I have a question to ask you.”
Richard chuckled.
“Speak,” he said.
“Do you plan to focus on alchemy?”
The gray-colored dwarf, who had always been careful, straightened its back and appeared determined.
Its temperament was completely different from before.
Richard shook his head without hesitation.
“No, alchemy technology is only a supplement to the defensive forces of Twilight City. We will not invest several resources into it in the future.”
The Twilight City was not a fortress faction, and no matter how much they invested in alchemy, it would be difficult to compare with the races that focused on alchemy.
He had a clear mind, and that was because it took a fancy to the power of the alchemy cannons. He had never thought of changing the development path of Twilight City.
Brown nodded and had an idea.
“Then I suggest you send your troops this time if you do not plan to focus on alchemy to occupy the primary city of the gray-colored dwarves and control their original production tools.
“At the same time, conquer the other duergar and make them work for us.”
Its gaze became more serious as Brown said that.
“Not only that. You should also transfer the Alchemy Department of Twilight City to the underworld.
“Alchemy technology requires a ma.s.sive investment of resources.
“Land, resources, population, treasures, and so on.”
“The later stages, the greater the investment needed.
“The alchemy technology we have now is only superficial. It will be obsolete in the future as Twilight City progresses.
“So, since we don’t plan to invest much money, we’ll move this technology out of Twilight City.
“The underground world has a perfect alchemy technology system.
“To use the original foundation of the gray-colored dwarves to develop is countless times better than to build from scratch.”
Fanaticism filled its eyes with fanaticism as it said it.
“As long as the gray-colored dwarves’ forces are utterly integrated and the divided gray-colored dwarves are all devoted to the research of alchemy technology, I can guarantee with my life that you will be satisfied with the results.
“In the future, we can use the underworld as-weapon factory. We don’t need to invest any additional resources, and we can continuously provide Twilight City with the resources needed for war, be it alchemy cannons or alchemy bombs.”
Richard gave Brown a deep look.
He would integrate the original forces of the gray-colored dwarves and develop alchemy technology with all his might. He would no longer need the resources of Twilight City, and the entire underworld would become the weapons factory of the city.
The alchemist opened up Richard’s mind.
And he had to admit that these words moved him.
His initial plan was to let the underworld provide all kinds of weapons and resources for Twilight City, which would become his resource warehouse.
Now, Twilight City would only benefit… if he could add the alchemy technology.
They could no longer use the resources of the underground world for fighting after the war ended. They would use them for development.
The result would be different.
