Every adventure that brought great rewards always made people happy.
After Richard took stock of his gains, he seemed to have thought of something and turned his head to look at the door.
At this time, Gunter and Xina still guarded the outside.
“Lord Sel, some powerful force sealed one of my subordinate’s bloodline. She can’t use her power…”
As he spoke, he told Sel about Xina’s problems and the idea of changing her blood to remove the seal.
Finally, Sel said.
“I wonder if the gray-colored dwarf’s change of blood can remove the seal in her body?”
Not to mention Xina’s hero recruitment mission, the veteran had followed him through life and death during this time. Even when he wasn’t around, she had risked her life to protect Twilight City.
He would think of a way to solve the problem of the seal that the girl cared about the most.
Moreover, Sel and the gray-colored dwarves were mortal enemies. He was more concerned about the other party’s news than the average person.
When Sel heard this, he could not help but frown.
He organized his words before speaking.
“Although the gray-colored dwarves’ ability to change blood is supremely sturdy, the monsters they produce are all monsters. I can’t judge whether they are capable or not.”
“Perhaps, you can ask him after you capture the gray-colored dwarf alchemist.
“This method of creating monsters is just a derivative of alchemy.”
Richard instantly understood. It seemed that he must capture the gray-colored dwarf.
After they talked for a while, he suddenly remembered he hadn’t received the millions of units of food that he had traded previously.
He went to the warehouse and took the food out of the system’s temporary space. He obtained 10,000 units of mercury and 10,000 units of crystal from Sel.
He thought for a moment and took out 10,000 units of gemstones to repair the extraordinary hunter.
This increased its usable time to 50 minutes.
This finally made him feel a little more at ease.
As a result, he still had 10,000 units of gemstones, mercury, and 10,000 units of crystal in his hands.
He had accumulated quite a bit. When he returned to Twilight City, he would put on the agenda the buildings he couldn’t build due to the lack of resources.
During the extraordinary hunter repair process, Richard had initially planned to use the mithril ore to repair it.
However, he didn’t expect the extraordinary hunter to absorb the mithril ore so slowly that it was hair-raising.
He estimated that it probably could not absorb it in a month.
When Richard saw this, he simply set it aside and returned to Twilight City. He would repair it when he had time.
After he completed this series of actions, Richard did not stay in Bloodhoof City any longer.
He got all the benefits he needed, and the rest of the deal was long-lasting.
After he bade farewell to Sel, he returned to the city outskirts.
At this time, they had piled up the corpses and mechanical fragments on the battlefield into a few small hills.
It was what Sel had clearly said about the spoils of war.
The only unfortunate thing was that the gray-colored dwarves blew down to pieces the wyvern troop of Bloodhoof City, and they could not use it to recruit skeleton blood dragons.
While Richard looked at the pile of monster corpses, he did not hesitate.
He took out the ancient god statue.
At this time, the divine soul was still in a deep sleep, and no one knew when it would complete its transformation.
With a thought, the dark light on the statue rose and enveloped the pile of corpses.
In an instant, time seemed to have deprived these corpses. It was like they had been weathered for hundreds of years and became shriveled.
Then, they gradually collapsed and turned into ashes under his eyes.
Only a thin layer of ash was left when the dark light faded.
The deeply asleep soul has absorbed the power that the ancient god statue devoured.
The other party’s deep sleep was to resolve the consumption of the majestic power within its body.
From the looks of it, he seemed to have made it sleep even longer.
“I’m ultimately looking forward to this divine life awakening.”
“I wonder if the other party could grasp divine arts, the ultimate skill of the “Shining Era.”
This soul not only had divinity, but he had also injected a drop of divine power into it. He was not surprised at what the other party’s kind of power could obtain.
He removed the ancient god statue again and walked to the front of the cannon.
“Lord…”
The giant dragon hero, Alves, whose entire body burned with a blazing blood-colored light, immediately descended from the sky when it saw Richard.
Richard looked at this giant creature with a wingspan of more than 30 meters and nodded in satisfaction.
Some had said that after it had transformed from a skeleton blood dragon into a hero unit, its appearance had become even more attractive.
The sparkling and translucent blood-colored skeleton constantly burned with crimson flames.
These flames had an intense corrosive nature, and even steel could not resist.
And after corroding life, it could also devour the corroded energy to recover its loss. It was so powerful that it was remarkable.
The broken dragon wings spread out and were even taller than the main sail of a massive ship sailing on the sea. Combined with its ferocious appearance, it gave people a strong visual impact.
The birth of Alves has completely satisfied his previous desire to have a giant dragon as a mount.
This level of handsomeness was not inferior to an ordinary gigantic dragon.
Not to mention that it was an A-rank hero who had mastered Beyond A-rank skills.
After Richard retracted his gaze, he focused on the hundreds of cannons.
After he sized them up a few times, he suddenly had a headache.
These big things were quite powerful, but their weight had also reached a terror-stricken level.
The biggest problem now was… How could the soldiers move these cannons back?
These things could kill him.
After he thought for a long time, he finally decided to transport them by air.
They could not transport them back to Twilight City if they traveled by land for a week.
And they could only transport a few at once.
He took out his Tibetan soldier card and summoned all the dark gargoyles.
Then, he asked Gunter to go to Bloodyhoof City and borrow hundreds of chains to bind the cannon tightly.
They tied the other end of the chain to the skeleton dragon.
The dark gargoyles weren’t small, but they were still not enough to be compared to the cannon.
Only ten dark gargoyles could barely pull it. If they wanted to be stable, they needed at least 15.
However, it was severely exasperating to tie them up one by one. Richard simply handed the heavy responsibility to the skeleton blood dragon.
One could say that the giant dragon’s strength was indeed unquestionable. Even if it became an undead creature, it was still domineering.
Two skeleton blood dragons could easily pull up a giant cannon.
After they had worked for hours, they finally fixed it.
Richard did not hesitate. He left two teams of gargoyles to guard the place and flew with the skeleton blood dragon.
The distance from Bloodhoof City to the underground passage wasn’t too far. It was about 100 kilometers. It would take a day to walk, but flying would be faster.
Even though he dragged the giant cannon, his speed was extra slow. He arrived at the underground passage two hours later.
When he passed through the swamp in front of the passage, Richard even took out the dragon treasure map and glanced at it.
As expected… There was no movement.
He did not probe further. There would be plenty of time in the future to search.
When they returned to the tunnel, Gray immediately came up to them.
“Lord!
“During the time we were away, nothing happened, right?
“Other than killing a few underground monsters that suddenly barged in, we did not encounter any other enemies.”
Richard nodded and looked at Alves.
“Bring the cannon back to Twilight City and let Gray settle it down.
“The dark gargoyles will be under your command. Let them escort you.
“After you place it, return immediately.”
“As you command, Lord.”
Then, the terrifying behemoth flapped its wings and flew straight into the tunnel depths.
Only then did Gray discover the giant cannons that the skeleton blood dragons carried.
It couldn’t help but be greatly surprised.
“Lord, this is?”
Richard laughed as he recounted the harvest of this trip that caused the mummy hero to exclaim repeatedly in surprise.
This underground world indeed contained a massive amount of wealth.
On the other side, Alves had encountered a lot of trouble on its way back. Many areas of the underground tunnel were only 20 meters in diameter.
Its wingspan reached an exaggerated 30 meters that it couldn’t fly through.
However, this hero with a Beyond A-rank dragon breath was also particularly overbearing. He directly used its dragon breath to melt the rocks.
He forcefully widened the passage by a large circle.
At the same time, he also melted some of the obstructing rocks, creating an unobstructed passage.
This action was so deep he wanted to build a road first.
When Alves landed in Twilight City with its ridiculously large cannon.
It immediately caused an enormous sensation.
This thing was too visually striking.
Ordinary people were not even as tall as the cannon muzzle.
The power of this thing was distinct.
Onyx, who had not yet left, looked at these panic-stricken alchemy weapons in astonishment.
He even thought of buying a few on his return to Solan City.
It wasn’t for his use but to show off.
This thing was at the gate of the mansion. One on the left and another on the right. Wasn’t it cooler than planting flowers and plants?
More importantly, it wasn’t afraid of stealing.
That’s right. Only giants could carry this thing. There was no need to worry about losing it.
On the other hand, Adele’s father, the special-level blacksmith the guards had just put down, was intensely curious.
This thing had a distinct underground style.
The symbol on it was the gray-colored dwarf’s symbol. Could it be that Twilight City had already conquered an underground city?
Jonah felt a little emotional. Previously, he had thought this territory was weak and had no potential for development. He had even thought of asking Adele to return with him.
Now, it seemed that his thoughts simply slapped his face.
Did Jonah still call not having potential? Then, what was potential?
It made his heart flutter remarkably that mechanical puppet far beyond his level. If the other party could give him research, he would even want to come to this territory.
Unfortunately, that lord might not take a fancy of him…
When Jonah thought of this, he couldn’t help but feel depressed.
If he had known earlier, he would not have acted so pretentiously. But now, not only whips humiliated him. He could not also open his mouth to study that mechanical puppet.
He regretted what he had done in the first place.
The residents did not care so much. They were so excited when they saw such a strapping weapon.
Good heavens! This thing would probably destroy a dragon with a single shot!
After they regained their senses, their reverence and worship of Richard grew even higher.
An inexplicable pride and delight rose in their hearts.
Their lord could always surprise and shock people.
The skeleton blood dragon transported over a hundred cannons six times. With the addition of 2000 rounds of ammunition, more than ten lays that they later used with the dark gargoyles.
When the troops had delivered over a hundred cannons to Twilight City, everyone’s mind wavered.
How powerful would it take to capture so many weapons?
Karu, the head butler, was the only one with mixed feelings.
He was excited, but he also had a lot of headaches.
This thing was too big. If one wanted to move it, one would need dozens of mummy guardians to work together.
Moreover, Twilight City did not have city walls, so Karu needed to figure out where to put this thing.
For a moment, he felt both pain and joy.
After Karu sent all the spoils of war back to Twilight City, Richard was ultimately relieved.
Richard called a few heroes over and explained the next phase of the mission.
“Gunter, you’re in charge of guarding the underground passage.
“Bring the 3,000 cavemen down and have them build a base outside the passage.
“Build the base first, then build the other buildings behind it.
“Gray, Xina, and Alves, the three of you follow me to capture that gray-colored dwarf alchemist.
“Remember, this mission is to capture people. If things don’t work out, retreat immediately. Don’t fight.”
The heroes immediately put their hands on their chests and saluted.
“As you wish.”
Richard didn’t waste any more words and left the troops with the soldier tags in the tunnel.
He only took the flying skeleton blood dragon with him.
After Richard left the underground tunnel, he sat on Alves and commanded the dragon hero to quickly fly toward the gray-colored dwarf city marked on the map.
