972 Chapter 544: Upgraded Rotten Swamp [2/2]
Richard had to be more decisive in the future.
The Raging Blood Duke had gained precious time to make ample preparations as a precaution. That also made his gains much smaller, although the outcome was good.
Richard shook his head. He hadn’t drunk much about it. Who could ensure their safety in the face of the possible attack of the abyss of the evil G.o.d? He had to be careful. He couldn’t say anything wrong. However, he could still improve some of the methods. He just had to learn from them in the future.
He set this matter aside. He stood and walked out of the hall.
He subconsciously looked at the row of soldiers in the corner of the front yard.
The three statues with dragon wings especially made him smile.
He took a few steps forward and touched the cold statue like a treasure.
It was like a child got his favorite toy.
That was a transcendent troop lair.
‘Tsk tsk tsk, comfortable.’
“Lord Richard?”
A crisp sound echoed from behind him. That interrupted Richard’s appreciation of his spoils.
He turned around and saw a tall and elegant figure appear before him.
The other party wore a black work uniform the tailor had specially designed for the blacksmith shop. It fitted her.
The yellow riding boots on her feet made her legs look remarkably slender.
The long-handled copper hammer on her back was a head taller than her. That made her temperament change from a girl-next-door to valiance.
“Adele.”
The Twilight City treasure had been under the imperative blacksmith’s protection.
Richard smiled.
“What? You’re willing to come out of the blacksmith shop?”
Adele almost couldn’t wait to leave her shop as a research maniac.
Her face was slightly red as she pouted.
“My lord!”
Her voice sounded soft. It was like the spring breeze blew on one’s face.
The heroic girl would only reveal her girlish side before him. In the outside world, she was the first master blacksmith of the Blacksmith’s a.s.sociation in Bloodhoof City. She was the strict master who taught blacksmiths from the Evil Faction in the underworld.
Richard smiled, and his face grew wider. That sorely embarra.s.sed Adele. She coughed a few times to suppress her fluctuating emotions.
Her flushed face pretended to be serious.
“Lord, I need to go to Fortress City.”
Richard shrugged.
“Haven’t you been in the underground world recently? You can go whenever you want. The sacred-blood dwarves are studying in the blacksmith shop.”
Richard had adopted a free-range approach and allowed her to grow freely.
He had nothing to explain remarkably after the other party said half a month ago that he had touched the threshold of a Master Blacksmith.
The growth of lifestyle cla.s.ses was different from ordinary ones.
The girl’s eyes immediately curved into crescents when she heard his words. Trust filled his tone.
“This time, I want to bring the transcendent hunter along.”
The transcendent hunter was a transcendent-level mechanical puppet he obtained in the first large-scale dungeon in the “Shining Era.”
However, enemies had severely damaged it. It hardly displayed the battle strength of a transcendent.
The early stages of the development process played a significant role. That increased the power in Richard’s hands. That seriously damaged mechanical puppet required tons of mithril to repair.
Later, he put the mechanical puppet in the blacksmith shop and let Adele study it.
“I’ll leave the transcendent hunter to you. Just tear it apart afterward.”
Richard chuckled.
He is now genuinely wealthy. He had four transcendents. A seriously damaged mechanical puppet was worth a thousand gold to players. That was nothing in his eyes.
Adele’s gaze appeared gentler. Tears shrouded her eyes.
“Lord, do you believe me?”
Richard looked at the girl’s subtle emotions and was a little speechless.
He stepped forward and rubbed the other party’s head.
“No one is more worthy of my trust than you. Only two people will follow me to the end. That is if everyone had betrayed me. I firmly believe that the other will be you.”
Adele’s eyes instantly lit up.
“Lord, I will not let you down!”
She spoke and bowed solemnly. She was like a fanatic of a G.o.d.
The young lady unhesitantly turned around to leave afterward.
The copper hammer on her back was especially eye-catching at this moment.
Richard felt that the young lady could do something spectacular.
He no longer delved deeply into this matter.
His trust in Adele overwhelmed him.
“I hope that the next time we meet, you can give me more surprises, like treasures.”
Richard laughed heartily and looked away.
At this moment, a familiar sound of an upgrade suddenly sounded in his ears.
[Ding~ The rotten swamp has devoured enough flesh and soul energy. That had raised the current level from 3 to 4.]
[Ding~ The area of the rotten swamp has expanded by 10 kilometers. Forty kilometers in diameter.]
[The number of automatically produced troop lairs weekly was three. The maximum number one can do had increased by 10. The current number is 40, and the maximum is 50. Number of Troops: 3,000 (Glorious 3-stars)]
[We could raise the level of the self-produced troop lair from Crown 3-stars. Crown to Radiant Moon 3-stars. One can soar the troop lair one has produced and recruited. One can raise lower levels to Radiant Moon 3-stars after one consumes flesh and soul energy.]
[Ding~ The rotten swamp (Spear of Slaughter) has leveled to 18. Its potential rose to Beyond A-rank, and all skills by one level.”
The moment the system notification sounded, a surge of joy shrouded Richard.
