Adele didn’t quite understand what Richard meant. The Lord looked at the young girl’s confused expression and didn’t say anything else.
He returned to the main topic.
“This mechanical puppet has enormous energy. It can devour the surrounding materials and repair itself automatically.
“The most important thing is the rare resources and the underground world’s unique ore — mithril.
“You can also conduct additional research on this…”
The extraordinary hunter needed a ma.s.sive amount of rare resources to repair. What he had right now was probably not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
Furthermore, without mithril, there was probably no hope of repairing it.
“Yes, Lord.” Adele nodded and said seriously.
“I’ll work very hard, Sir Richard.”
After the two conversed for a moment, Richard took out the dragon-hunting crossbow and the dragon-hunting crossbow bolt, which were two 4-stars blueprints.
“Adele, these are the dragon-hunting crossbow’s blueprints. This weapon will be of great help to us now. Can you forge it?”
Adele reluctantly put away the extraordinary hunter’s blueprints and took the two new blueprints. After a few glances, her eyes curved.
She was eager to give it a try.
“Compared to that perfect mechanical puppet, these two blueprints seem more suitable for the current me.”
She became more confident as she spoke.
“Lord Richard, as long as you provide me with enough materials, I can forge it.
“But this might take half a month…”
Richard nodded in satisfaction.
These were 4-stars blueprints.
It was indeed different after breaking through upgraded her to a special-level blacksmith.
However, Adele’s words made him feel a little helpless.
Materials needed to build the dragon-hunting crossbow: 5,000 units of mercury, 5,000 units of sulfur, 5,000 units of crystals, 1,000 units of fine iron, fascia of a level-15 or above giant dragon or hybrid giant dragon, and special-level blacksmith.
He was poor…
“The forging process requires over a hundred units of fine iron. You should start smelting the fine iron first… I’ll get the rest of the materials back as soon as possible.”
Adele nodded, and excitement rose in her eyes.
Making high-level equipment was a rare enjoyment for her.
After she said that, Richard said seriously again.
“But before you start work, you need to rest for three days. You’re not allowed to enter the blacksmith shop for three days.”
The girl with the huge dark circles under her eyes still wanted to argue. But Richard used his eyes to suppress her ruthlessly. She could only gloomily agree.
Richard first put away the extraordinary hunter. It wouldn’t be too late to send it to the girl after she had rested for a few days.
Then, he left the blacksmith’s shop with Adele. He even specially instructed the guards to prevent Adele from returning in the next two days.
That cut off Adele’s plans to come back the next day. She could only go back to rest dejectedly.
After Richard returned to the Lord’s mansion, he seemed to have thought of something. The sand once again lifted the 11 sandworm eggs in the corner with a wave of his hand.
They brought back these eggs when they left the dungeon.
However, there was still a month before they could hatch, so he did not pay too much attention to them.
“It seems like I have to cover them with sand…”
After he thought for a moment, he went straight to the back courtyard of the Lord’s mansion.
He placed the sandworm eggs in a corner.
Then, the residents outside suddenly saw countless sand grains fly into the sky and rush into the Lord’s mansion.
Visual impact graced this scene.
The new residents were significantly shocked and quickly asked the people around what this was.
The proud old residents began to announce Richard’s previous achievements.
Especially in the sky above the Russian olive seed forest, the feat of killing hundreds of venomous wyverns in one fell swoop was even more exaggerated.
After the popularity of the people reached 90, the residents would naturally spread the greatness of Twilight City and Richard to the new residents…
Most of the new residents settled down in this environment.
When everyone said that the territory was good and the Lord was great, they honestly meant it was good.
No matter how strong the resistance was, it would collapse in a week or two.
The power of the people was unlimited.
Richard did not pay attention to these trivial things. He let the sand cover the sandworm eggs with a thick layer.
When he sensed the life force of the eggs did not change much, he was relieved.
“Work hard, little worms. You will be the st.u.r.diest vehicle in Twilight City in the future.
“When the time comes, I will make a cool desert wheel for you. I will drag you there if you have nothing to do.”
After he expressed the capitalists’ expectations, he summoned two teams of guardian mummies and asked them to guard this place at all times.
Now, he only needed to wait for these giants to hatch.
After Richard dealt with the sandworms, he seemed to have thought of something and taken the ancient dragon crystal from the system s.p.a.ce.
That was the reward Ferguson gave him after he completed the A-rank mission.
It could allow the skeleton blood dragon to transform into a heroic unit.
But Ferguson had also peculiarly mentioned that the transformation process required a mult.i.tude of flesh and blood. Or else it might lead to a decrease in potential.
Richard rubbed it for a moment and helplessly put it back.
Now, there was no time to get so much flesh and blood.And he also needed to convert the hunting gains into resources to recruit troops.
He could only delay.
In the evening, three heroes who went out hunting brought back a lot of prey.
The resource points and the field troops’ gathering places would refresh every Monday.
This month, there were no troops around Twilight City to clean up. So, the harvest wasunusually rich.
However, Richard did not let them stop there. Instead, he continued to hunt in the darkness.
They were all undead creatures. With the black gargoyles as eyes, they were not afraid to encounter cardinally strapping enemies.
Richard was not idle either. He also took a troop to partic.i.p.ate in the map-sweeping.
He started in the evening. He returned three times in a night with rich prey.
