The humans established the first Holy Church Empire. However, one had destroyed the original Holy Church Empire countless years ago.
The current Holy Church Empire was probably the tenth or so that had been rebuilt.
The king claimed that he had inherited the bloodline of the Holy Church Empire’s royal family and had inherited the orthodox lineage.
The Holy Church Empire governed Solan City. Of course, due to the existence of the legendary ascetic, Duke Solan, the leadership was only in name.
No one had the guts to point fingers at a legend.
However, it was impossible to conceal the immense strength of the Holy Church Empire.
Richard looked at the little girl before him who fought for him and said slowly.
“The Ell Plane is the territory of Twilight City. No one can touch it. Let alone the Holy Church Empire, even the Sun Sect would not be able to do so!”
Christy’s heart started beating faster when she heard the calm but arrogant words.
Her eyes were sparkled like stars.
It would sound arrogant if one said this, even her father, the legendary ascetic,
However, the valiant young man before him had occupied a plane and established a vast force that could affect the situation in the Mortal Plane.
He had even killed the Greed Lord. He is one of the seven sins of evil gods, under the watchful eyes of billions of people!!
The words of such a dragon among men, even if they were wanton, made people seriously consider the possibility of realization.
No one dared to underestimate them.
The same words, but with a different status, brought about a completely different perception.
“Lord Richard, my father and I are firmly on your side.”
Christy was afraid that Richard would misunderstand, so she explained timidly.
“Your territory can only be yours. Father has already sternly rejected the higher-ups of the Empire.”
“However, there are many people in the empire who have a grudge against Solan City. Those who are not afraid of Solan City may not give up, although it can stop the greed of some people.”
He lowered his voice.
“The royal family of the empire has also sent a prince over. He’s waiting in Solan City. The royal family also wishes to communicate with you.”
At this point, his gaze became a little complicated.
Half a year ago, when he went to Solan City alone, he had nothing. Rebecca even gave him the manor.
Half a year later, not only did the other party get her father, a glorious existence, to send her over to deliver a message, even the Holy Church Empire’s royal family personally sent a prince to request an audience.
Unknowingly, this valiant young man had grown from an unknown person to a first-class big shot.
A young girl who was not mature would always have some heroic plot. At this moment, he could see the admiration in Christy’s eyes.
Richard’s expression softened a little. Fortunately, Solan City did not stand against him this time.
Otherwise, this little girl would be disappointed. No one had the right to trample on Twilight City.
Even that glorious ascetic.
“Is there any other news?”
Christy shook her head.
“Father told me to tell you this…”
“I heard that the sect has been making a lot of moves recently. Do you know anything about it?”
“The Crimson Moon rose, and the major sects in Solan City spread the word that the ancient gods were the embodiment of evil and would bring the world to destruction. They even asked all their believers to search for those who had been drenched in blood rain. If those people were caught, they would be burned alive by the sects.”
“They’ve offered a high reward. Once any information regarding the ancient gods is reported to the church and verified, they’ll be rewarded handsomely.”
Christy frowned.
“I’ve read through many ancient historical books, but I haven’t found any records of the ancient gods. I haven’t even found any information about the books that specifically record evil lives.”
“I asked Father, and Father said that he didn’t know the specific information either. However, according to his speculation, the ancient gods were most likely gods who ruled the world before the gods were born.”
“I can foresee that the replacement of the old and the new will cause a great upheaval, although I don’t know why the gods that had disappeared for a long time have revived.”
The gods erased all information about the ancient gods.
Windsor caused the blood rain to cover the entire plane when the Crimson Moon rose, allowing countless people to obtain the power of the great ancient ones, the world would be in chaos.
He killed ten gods under everyone’s gaze. That caused a vast commotion.
Perhaps there were people who wanted to join the camp of the ancient gods, but they didn’t know where to go or what to do…
But ever since the crimson moon rose and the first chapter of the plane explorer was opened, Richard had not heard of Windsor’s movements.
It was impossible for the other party to calm down just like that. The next time he erupted, it would be earth-shattering.
He needed to have an in-depth conversation with the main character of the new expansion pack.
“Help me keep an eye out for the movements of the sect. The gods were not as kind and gentle as their believers claimed.”
Christy nodded emotionally.
Richard pulled the conversation back to business.
“What is the purpose of the Holy Church Royal Family coming here this time?”
“I don’t know, but it should be related to Ell.”
Christy exclaimed.
“Lord Richard, after you occupied Ell and built it into the [Trading Market] of the Grace Mainland Overlord. The impact you caused was no less than when you killed the Greed Lord…”
This valiant young man, everything he did made people tremble.
Even her proud father was full of praise for him.
Christy pondered and felt a little embarrassed. She saw her father this time. Lord Richard should be able to get his approval, right?
Her face blushed as she thought of something irrelevant.
Richard didn’t know that the young lady’s thoughts had already flown to the horizon. He pondered. He said slowly, “Since that’s the case, let’s go over there and meet him.
“Your Highness Christy, are you going to visit Twilight City for a few days, or are you going to Solan City with me?”
Christy said decisively.
“With you!”
It was nothing unusual for a lady who had seen the world, although the scenery of Twilight City was unique.
What was the point of staying without the other party in this city? He looked at the sand. He had grown up in the Desert of Death and had seen enough.
Richard nodded, not surprised. He immediately sent for Karu.
The gray-haired Karu entered the hall. He told him that he went to Solan City and also took care of some trivial matters.
A little information made Richard feel much better.
The fifth improvement completed the Elven Music Box. The Elven Music Box was very close to the MP3 or tape player he had expected after a few months of intensive research.
At this time, the production line of the Elven Music Box had also expanded by more than ten times. The daily production had increased to 800 units, which was only a hair’s breadth away from the 1,000 units he had requested.
A batch of production lines that incorporated alchemy technology would be put into use by the middle of this month.
The production capacity would increase enormously.
The Elven Music Box would be available for sale by the end of April.
That was to expand the sales and market.
The first batch of Elven Music Boxes would be ten Elven Music Boxes. The dark elves of the underground world sang most of the songs. A girl recorded one of them with an exceptionally clear voice in Twilight City.
The production of the Elven Music Box was much simpler.
The daily production could reach 8,000 after two months of vigorous expansion of production capacity.
The production capacity would soar, similarly, when the production line integrated with alchemy technology was put into use.
A vast industry already rose. And a blue sea territory waited for Twilight City to occupy.
Richard was both happy and helpless.
It was naturally a good thing they progressed so quickly.
However, this production rate would not even be able to make a splash.
There was an immense market before him.
“Karu is still too conservative. Increase the investment of resources by ten times. I need to see the production of Elven Music Boxes reach 10,000 units per day in a month! A year later, the production capacity would reach 100,000!”
“Look for Tundel and ask her to send some people to you if you don’t have enough people.”
“We can contact the Ell Players Association directly if we need a gray-colored dwarf. The Grace Mainland Overlord from all over the Mortal Plane can satisfy all our needs!”
That was why online transactions could never replace offline. Not to mention the fees, The various restrictions of online transactions alone could make it difficult for many businesses to develop, not to mention the many fees. One could buy and sell anything in the offline world.
Slave trading was a lucrative business, and many player guilds had their own channels.
Karu was mentally prepared. But Richard’s generosity still shocked him.
“100,000 units a day?”
The production cost of each unit was 500 units of rare resources. He would have to consume 50 million units of resources every day if he achieved his goal? Wasn’t that the implication?
This data…
Karu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
His gaze was firm.
“Lord, your order is the direction we should go in. We shall heed!”
Richard nodded. Such a big market was right before him. But now he couldn’t make money because of production capacity problems.
That feeling was too unbearable.
“We can’t neglect the production of the Black Sorbet either. Ell is already under our control. Later, you can discuss with Tundel and allocate an area for the Frost Grass.”
The Raging Blood Duke had killed 70% of the population of Ell Plane. Two to three million people remained.
These people were enough to support the labor force he needed.
“At the same time, let Tundel arrange a few cities to be the production bases for the black congealed troops. The expansion of the Black Frozen Ice Cream is even faster.”
The forces in Twilight City were no longer as weak as they were when they first entered the “Shining Era.”
The resources in his hands rose to a new level after the integration of the strength of the players.
He could totally expand and reform Ell, and no longer need to be as careful as when he obtained the underground world.
He needed a production base, and Ell would become a production base.
His will was above everything else.
Richard didn’t waste any more time after these two instructions. Karu left the manor with Christy. Her eyes curved into crescents and walked briskly.
Richard stopped and looked to the side. He stepped out of the door.
There was a group of soldiers with the Solan City emblem on their chests.
The leader was a silent female warrior.
She was in her early fifties and wore thick black armor. Dense scars covered her face. That made one’s heart tremble.
This female warrior’s past was probably incomparably glorious.
The other party was transcendent.
It was the first time that a transcendent from the friendly camp had come to Twilight City.
He nodded slightly at the other party.
The female warrior’s eyes flashed with doubt when she met Richard’s gaze. It was like his level puzzled her. But she still bowed respectfully.
She straightened up. She looked at Dark Valkyrie who had silently guarded Richard. Her expression instantly became extremely solemn.
Her attitude became increasingly grave.
This lord was not someone transcendent like her could afford to offend no matter what.
Richard didn’t care too much about it. Transcendents, he was still awed half a year ago. But how many came? Was it enough for Dark Valkyrie to hack?
Richard asked how many people Christy had brought. He called Alves over.
He brought a squadron of skeleton blood dragons with him and had the undead dragons carry Christy’s team to Solan City.
This time, he had to go and return quickly. There were too many trivial matters in Ell, and he needed to personally oversee them.
There were still countless things to deal with in Twilight City.
Richard had two objectives for his trip to Solan City.
He would meet Windsor and get the reward from the last S-rank mission. Of course, there was also a gift from the Ell Players Association.
He looked forward to Windsor’s expression. His return gift was also worth looking forward to.
The other thing was the meeting with the Grand Duke. This was the third or fourth time he had invited him.
For a legend to be able to send his own daughter here, he still had to give her some face. Lastly, he had to figure out the attitude of the outside world towards the Ell Plane, especially the Holy Church Empire.
They could either live in peace or die in a river of blood.
