Chapter 214 This territory is so mysterious (3200 words)
Karu immediately called two residents nearby and asked them to call the five selected people.
Taking advantage of this gap, Richard returned to the lord's mansion.
Looking at the 30 wooden boxes neatly arranged in the front yard, the smile on the corner of my mouth became stronger.
"Sir, what's inside?"
Karu looked at the wooden box with gray dwarf symbols carved on the ground, a little curious.
It is definitely not a cheap item that can be picked up by the Skeleton Blood Dragon alone.
Richard waved his hand, and yellow sand covered with sandworms floated from the backyard.
Then it transformed into arms, untied the chains on it, and opened the wooden box.
When the gravel flew back to the backyard, Karu immediately looked at it intently.
Only three wooden boxes were seen containing ores that emitted light fluorescence, and the other wooden boxes were filled with mysterious items that were as dark as sand, and there was also an extremely pungent smell.
Richard pointed at the ores and smiled.
"These are mithril ores."
Kalu's eyes lit up and he said in surprise.
"These 3 boxes of mithril ore??"
Richard laughed.
"That's right, all 3 boxes!!"
He never imagined that he could get so much mithril ore in that small city.
Although the quality of these ores is several grades worse than those traded with Bloodhoof City, there are extraordinarily many impurities, but the quantity cannot be tolerated.
Each of these 3 boxes contains more than 1,000 units of ore, totaling 3,000 units.
Even if the ore has more impurities, its mithril content will still be more than the 50 units of mithril ore obtained from Bloodhoof City.
And this is his trophy, free of charge.
This made him feel even more happy.
"What are the remaining boxes?"
"Alchemical gunpowder, an item used to make alchemical bombs!"
Richard smiled brightly.
Alchemical gunpowder is the best gunpowder developed by Brown, and it contains huge magic power.
The alchemical bomb used in the giant alchemical cannon he captured from the gray dwarves was made of this kind of gunpowder.
Extremely powerful.
The 27 boxes of alchemical gunpowder are now his.
Each box has a limited volume, and he compacted it in order to pack more. A rough estimate is that it can contain at least 30,000 units.
He asked Brown that these 30,000 units could produce at least 3,000 large-mouth artillery alchemical bombs.
Used to make normal-sized alchemical bombs, even tens of thousands of them can be produced.
This is not a small amount of money, it can support the consumption of a medium-sized battle.
And in his opinion, alchemical gunpowder can be used not only to produce alchemical bombs, but also has great potential to be tapped.
In addition to these two gains, he also received 20,000 units of mercury, a rare resource, from the gray dwarf city.
Twenty thousand units, worth one million units of food, tens of millions of resources.
Four rare resources, each containing powerful magic, suitable for use in various aspects.
The inscriptions on the gray dwarf cannon barrels are all carved with mercury.
Rare resources, gunpowder, mithril ore, plus Brown, a level 12 alchemy hero.
The harvest of this attack on the gray dwarf city far exceeded Richard's expectations.
It is never true that war always ends with the winner taking all.
"Seal these alchemical gunpowders into storage. If you need to use them, you must have my approval."
"Yes, my lord."
While the two were talking, five cautious young residents came to the front of the lord's mansion.
At this time, Andele was chatting enthusiastically with Brown, a gray dwarf alchemist with a deformed arm.
When five people passed by, they immediately saluted respectfully.
"Lord Andel."
Andele turned around and took a look, recognizing that these were the talents selected in the seminars over the past few days.
She also participated in the selection.
"Where are you going?"
"The lord called us over, it seems we have something to explain"
Andele nodded thoughtfully, "Go."
Looking at the backs of the five people leaving, Onik said with emotion.
"His Excellency Richard always does things so unexpectedly. Who would have thought that he would let these civilians also learn knowledge."
“If other people knew about it, their jaws would drop.”
Resources are limited and cannot be distributed to everyone.
Concentrating resources to cultivate some top talents is the consistent approach of "Glory Era".
Richard's actions are obviously completely contrary to the mainstream.
But Andier couldn't listen anymore and retorted directly.
"Mr. Onik, that's why Mr. Richard is the master of Twilight City, and you are a member of the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild."
Onik showed a bit of a wry smile.
Before, he did not think that the status of the members of the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild was lower than that of the desert lords.
After the five young men were brought in by the guards, Karu immediately extended his hand and introduced them.
"Sir Richard, these people are the talents we have carefully selected. Their performance is very good, they absorb knowledge quickly and have potential"
Richard looked at the uneasy people after saluting. After a few words of comfort, he opened the attribute panel and looked around.
If the natives are not heroic units, their potential is unknown and cannot be determined.
But each of them has a characteristic. Although I can't see the specific potential, they look good overall.
Be smart, steady, diligent, endure hardship and work hard.
After thinking for a moment, Richard chose a young man with the two characteristics of intelligence and research.
The two of them came from a brewery and a food workshop respectively.
The remaining three people are also good, but these two are obviously more suitable for research.
Make a note of the ones that were not selected and discuss them later when the opportunity arises.
As a result, there is still one of the three hero certificates left, and he has not yet decided what kind of talent to cultivate for this one.
It’s okay to keep one, and it’s not too late to make a move later if you find a suitable choice.
The faces of the two selected young men turned red with excitement.
He looked at the handsome figure in front of him with extremely hot eyes, like a devout believer seeing their god.
They actually caught the eyes of Lord Richard.
Praise the gods! !
This must be the favor of the goddess of luck! !
"Karu has already told me about your performance."
"In my plan, breweries and food workshops will be important pillar industries of Twilight City in the future!"
"Its importance is not inferior to that of breeding bases and blacksmith shops."
Richard looked directly at them with firm eyes and his tone was powerfully persuasive.
"The Twilight City has chosen you, which shows that you are not mediocre, and your future should not be limited to this."
"As long as you dare to shoulder the responsibility, I can give you unprecedented power."
"Are you willing to accept my call, shoulder the important responsibilities of the brewery and food workshop, and create more value for the Twilight City?"
The two of them looked into those deep eyes, and at this moment, a feeling of incomparable glory surged into their hearts.
His eyes were red.
It almost roared out.
"Lord, I will serve you to the death!!"
Richard nodded slowly.
"I hope that in the future, you will not let down my trust and expectations."
As he spoke, he took out two hero certificates from the system space.
"Ding~ Do you want to use the Hero's Certificate? The two target professions detected are chef apprentice and winemaker apprentice. Do you want to transfer them to the corresponding profession?"
Richard's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that they could transform into heroes and change their jobs directly, which saved a lot of trouble.
Without hesitation, select confirm directly.
All of a sudden.
The two certificates of heroism were shattered like glass.
It turned into a majestic energy and poured into the two people's bodies.
Then under his gaze, the power deep in the blood of the two people began to be activated, and their aura gradually increased.
The surrounding magic also poured into the body at the same time.
The transformation process did not cause too much exaggerated movement. After about ten minutes, the breath gradually calmed down.
"Ding~ The Hero's Certificate was used successfully, and you got two B-level heroes."
As the system prompt sounded, Richard opened the property panel of the two people.
Naxi
Hero Unit
Level: Level 4
Potential: Class B
Occupation: Winemaker (intermediate, increases winemaking success rate by 20)
Reese
Hero Unit
Level: Level 3
Potential: Class B
Occupation: Chef (intermediate level, increase the deliciousness of the food produced by 20%)
After briefly taking a look at their skills and hero characteristics, he had an idea.
The skills of the units transformed with the Hero's Certificate are not particularly outstanding, but they are not bad either.
Generally speaking, it is above the passing line.
Watching the two of them regain consciousness, Richard encouraged them.
"You now have the power of a hero, and your future is bright."
"I hope that you can create more value for the construction of Twilight City in the future, so that all residents of Twilight City will be proud of you!"
"Karu, you will pass the order later. Starting tomorrow, the two of them will be responsible for the production and research and development of the food workshop and brewery."
"If you need any materials and supplies, you can apply directly to Karu."
"I need you to develop a qualified food and liquor as quickly as possible."
The two young men, who were almost in tears, looked at the handsome figure in front of them, with only one thought in their hearts.
Even if they die fighting for the lord, they will not hesitate!
The other party gave them everything!
"Lord, I will live up to your trust!"
The voice almost pierced the sky, and it seemed that only the loudest voice could express one's attitude.
Richard nodded with satisfaction, and after a few more words of comfort and encouragement, he let the two of them leave.
As soon as they left the lord's mansion, they met Andele and Onike who were about to enter the lord's mansion. Jonah Thorin.
The two newly born heroes didn't show off at all and left after bowing.
Watching the other person's leaving figure.
Onik and Jonah Thorin looked at each other, and both saw the horror in the other's eyes.
Hero unit? ?
Did they read that correctly? ?
Apparently ten minutes ago, the five people who entered the lord's mansion were still ordinary people.
The other three have already left first, nothing unusual.
How come these two became heroes after not seeing each other for more than ten minutes?
Is this a joke? !
How can a hero be cultivated like this? ? ?
If you want to become a heroic unit, you must train from an early age and even awaken the power within your body after going through life and death.
In disbelief, the two of them sensed each other a few more times.
But after sensing it, I was even more surprised.
Not only did the opponent become a hero in just ten minutes, but the power emanating from his blood was also very strong.
At least he is a hero with potential above B level.
All of a sudden.
The two of them turned to look at the door of the city lord's mansion at the same time, their expressions becoming extremely exciting.
Then think of a series of things after entering the territory, such as the ancient evil tree, the mysterious mechanical puppet, the alchemical cannon, and the undead dragon.
The entire territory was suddenly covered with a hazy veil in their hearts that no one could explore.
Even though Onik had his back against such a behemoth as the Luanwei Flower Merchant Guild, he felt a little in awe at this moment.
That Lord Lord is too mysterious and unpredictable.
His idea of wanting the other party to move out of this territory before setting foot in Twilight City seemed inexplicably ridiculous to him at the moment.
Is he qualified to arrange the future of such a character? (End of chapter)
