Richard took a deep breath. His gaze was solemn.

“Karu, how’s Xina’s situation now?”

“Lady Xena has recovered. She’s been searching for the lair of those wyverns for the past few days.”

Karu added, “She just left this morning.”

Richard nodded slightly.

“I’ll take care of this.”

He glanced at the skeleton blood dragon in the courtyard. Its bones were like rubies.

Gunter was a glorious 1-star soldier that could kill dragons or mixed-blood dragons.

When he was inside the dungeon, he had already set his sights on those wyverns. Now, these beings still dared to come. ‘Weren’t they courting death?!’

Moreover, Knowles had also warned him that if he wanted to repair the extraordinary hunter, he needed the underground world’s unique precious ore — mithril.

Whether to eliminate the threat or obtain the wyverns’ corpses and mithril, he had to go to the underground world.

He collected his thoughts.

“Is there any other news?”

Karu said in a deep voice.

“A week ago, two blood-colored mummies returned and reported that the human-faced giant tree was moving in another direction. They have already followed this god’s ancient tree and continued to monitor…”

Richard’s eyes shafted.

The treasure he took out from the Scarlet Council’s treasure warehouse — The dark contract — prepared specially for this powerful boss unit.

If he dug up the god’s ancient tree and planted it in Twilight City, the wyverns wouldn’t be so shameless.

This time, he had to speed up the establishment of Twilight City’s air defense system.

The Hurricane Arrow Tower and the dragon-hunting crossbow were all great weapons.

He couldn’t help but sigh when he thought of this.

Twilight City’s foundation was weak. They had to build everything from scratch…

Fortunately, he had gained a lot this time, which gave him enough confidence.

“Where’s Adele?”

Karu replied respectfully, “Miss Adele is still studying in the blacksmith shop. She also told us we can’t disturb her unless there are important matters…”

After he said that, he saw that Richard did not continue asking questions. After he organized his words, he continued reporting.

“Lord Richard, the brewery and food factory has already started working. We are trying to conduct experimental research and development on salted wheat and salted olives.

“However, due to the lack of leadership of the relevant heroes, the research progress is slow.

“Fortunately, there are a few residents who understand this area. We have initially used salted barley and salted olives to produce fine wine and delicacies.”

‘Oh??’

These words piqued Richard’s interest.

In his plan, brewing wine and food processing were the primary points in business.

“Do you have any samples?”

“I had already instructed someone to fetch them when I came…”

As soon as Karu finished speaking, footsteps came from the door.

A young resident hurriedly entered the house with a tray.

After the young resident saluted respectfully, he placed the tray on the table and went out of the hall.

Richard looked at the two trays on the table curiously.

Murky and bottomless wine filled one of the ceramic bowls. It also emitted a pungent smell.

More than half a bowl of black olives filled the other ceramic bowl. It looked disgusting.

Karu looked at Richard’s strange gaze, and his old face turned red.

He said awkwardly.

“Lord Richard, our residents don’t have much experience. This is already the best sample.

“You…want to try it?”

So be it. After all, Richard was immune to the poison after bathing in the dragon’s blood, whoever was afraid of that.

Richard frowned and picked up the olives. He took a few glances.

It was too dark. Richard wondered if these guys put carbon in it.

Based on its appearance…? Could 100 units be sold for one gold coin?

He slowly put it into his mouth.

Under Karu’s expectant gaze, Richard chewed a few times before quietly spitting it on the tray.

He looked at Karu with a severe expression.

“You did well in this research and development… Don’t do it again in the future.”

As Richard spoke, he consoled the dejected Karu.

“Send the research and development of this olive to the boiler. We cannot waste on this kind of person for research and development…”

Then, he picked up the bowl of murky and bottomless wine and placed it on the side of his nose to sniff.

The sour smell of alcohol rushed into his nose and almost made him lose the courage to drink it.

He frowned and slowly took a small sip.

Gulp.

After he swallowed it, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and wiped away the impurities from the corner of his mouth. Then, he let out a long sigh.

“Give all the olives and wine produced to the residents to enjoy. I can’t bear this suffering alone.”

He said seriously.

“You definitely can’t use my name to distribute it. Just use the name of the research and development personnel.

“Tell everyone the personnel produced this. This honor is for them to enjoy alone.

“In addition, the materials in the warehouse will be temporarily stopped from being transferred to the brewery and food workshop.”

After Richard gave his instructions, he waved his hand and quickly asked the bandaged mummy beside him to throw that thing out.

After he said that, he seemed to have thought of something and took out three hero certificates from the pile of treasures on the table.

Richard felt these three hero certificates at this moment were simply priceless treasures.

While he looked at Karu’s puzzled eyes, he said softly.

“This is a hero certificate. It has incredible power and can directly convert ordinary people into hero units.

“I need you to find two talented residents. One is responsible for brewing wine, and the other for producing food.”

He said seriously.

“Remember, before the corresponding heroes move in, we prohibit the brewery and the food workshop from developing anything else.”

The first half of the sentence attracted Karu. His eyes were bright as he said excitedly.

“Yes, Lord Richard. I will ultimately find the most suitable candidate!”

To directly transform an ordinary person into a hero unit is simply a supreme treasure!

In the eyes of the Aborigines, a hero unit was the highest pursuit, their ultimate dream.

If an ordinary person wanted to become a hero, they would only have the chance to experience a near-death adventure and discover strength from a desperate situation.

There was simply no systematic way.

When Karu was young, he was also a hero.

When he was old, he lost the power of a hero because of his weak body.

Because he used to be a hero, he knew how big the gap was between a hero and an ordinary person.

After Richard handed this matter over, he thought for a moment and took out the blueprints of the Hurricane Arrow Tower.

They had to build the defensive structure immediately.

The five acres of destroyed Russian olive forest had explained everything.

He did not want to go out and see a sea of fire upon return.

After he explained the attributes of the blueprints, he said in a sincere tone.

“Build the Hurricane Arrow Tower as fast as possible. We need enough defensive structures.”

He had a lot of blueprints in his hands. But in the case of a lack of resources, he could only choose the most urgent and paramount construction.

The space in the territory was not enough. Richard still needed to upgrade the territory’s level.

Richard could not help but feel slightly confused when he thought of this.

He waved his hand and let Karu calm down. He began to comb through his thoughts.

The most urgent thing in Twilight City now was to have a sturdy defensive force.

The Hurricane Arrow Tower and the dragon-hunting crossbow could do this. Adele and Karu would do it.

Secondly, he needed to solve the problem of the wyverns.

There was such a colossal hidden danger near Twilight City that he could not feel at ease even if he went outside to scan the map.

They had to eliminate the threat.

Gunter needed to use the wyvern corpse to recruit the skeleton blood dragon.

In addition, there was the possibility of the existence of the underground world… No matter from which aspect, the wyverns were his priority to solve.

Thirdly, he needed to obtain a lot of resources.

Not only did he need a lot of building blueprints, but he also needed to upgrade the troop lairs, recruit soldiers, and even research and development technology…

Honestly, the crux of all the problems was he didn’t have enough resources.

He could quickly destroy the wyverns with sufficient resources.

Fourth, he would attack the Dark Temple.

The Dark Temple he had discovered was something he had been thinking about for a long time. With the current strength of his troop, he could ultimately take down this special place.

Did he wonder what treasures would be hidden in that mysterious building?

Fifth, the god’s ancient tree.

This human-faced giant tree had already left its original location, and its whereabouts were still unclear.

The sooner they subdued this boss unit, the more at ease he would feel. The poisonous wasps could provide a certain amount of air defense.

No matter how one looked at it, the god’s ancient tree was exceedingly valuable.

Sixth, to repair a level 20 extraordinary hunter, the repair of this great killing weapon required a large number of rare materials and the unique mithril in the underground world.

However, this was a long-term project. And it would take a long time. There was no need to rush it.

In addition, there were many further targets.

He still had a 2-stars treasure map in his hands that he had never had the chance to explore. Since it was a treasure map, there must be some good treasures.

Eight bronze doors were still left to explore the ancient ruins, and the things he had obtained inside made him very interested.

However, he was not in a hurry. He could take it slowly.

The problem of trading with the outside world also needed him to consider and plan.

Did the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce obtain the Desert Crown Honey? Did Onyx, the merchant hero he had saved, persuade the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce to trade with Twilight City?

While calculating the time, the other party should have returned to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce when he entered the dungeon.

If he had accurate information, he should have returned to Twilight City soon.

There was still no news of the god’s seal in Xina’s body…

Richard heaved a sigh of relief when he thought of this. He had too many things to do… He couldn’t be in two places at once.

He had to lead the team to complete most of the tasks. It was impossible to hand them over to the two heroes.

After he cleared his mind, he immediately regained his clarity.

After he dealt with all these matters, Twilight City’s strength would probably rise by a few levels.

Right now, the easiest and most profitable thing was to poach the god’s ancient tree back.

Although the level 10 boss had the poisonous wasps protection, it was still very mighty.

However, it was only a single battle unit. There was no need to consider other implications. It was the most practical deal.

This was not the first time he had seen the god’s ancient tree. It was only level 5, and it had yet to change classes. It was a newbie lord that did not even know any skills.

Perhaps, he could use this boss to test his strength after he obtained the legendary template and bathed in dragon’s blood?

However, using the troop to push him away, he could sit at the back and wait for the overturn of the other party. It seemed like a good choice…

‘F*ck, that’s how it is when you become stronger…’
