Chapter 235 Repairing the Extraordinary Hunter (3000 words)
When Richard returned to Twilight City, it was already night.
The clear moon shone from the sky, and the moonlight was like water, covering the entire territory.
It looks like it has an extra layer of special beauty.
In the square in front of the lord's mansion, residents after dinner were actively participating in literacy classes and learning new knowledge.
Everyone starts learning by reading, and literacy classes do not teach much advanced knowledge.
"Glory Era" is no different from the modern era of information explosion. Knowledge is a rare item monopolized by nobles. How can lowly common people have access to it?
Only the great Twilight City and the great lord can be so kind and generous.
At this time, it can be shown so directly in front of them, allowing them to learn.
Residents who realize the value of knowledge are hungry for it.
If you have not experienced this special era, you cannot imagine how high ordinary residents' thirst for knowledge is.
Knowledge represents strength in this world, represents power, social status, and class represents everything.
Even if one day they are forced to leave the Twilight City, they can rely on their powerful ability in literacy to find a job that will not worry about food and clothing.
Not to mention, the lord also promised that those who excel in learning will have the opportunity to be specially trained.
After these residents who wanted to learn could not find a way before, after getting this opportunity, the efforts they showed made Richard quite emotional.
And this policy's ability to unite people's hearts far exceeded his imagination.
Some of these residents really regarded him as a god and almost built a church for him.
Looking at the crowded square, Richard quietly dismissed the troops without disturbing the residents who were in class.
After quietly taking Emerilda back to the lord's mansion, under the surprised eyes of the maid, two people were arranged to take care of the boss, who had turned into a five or six-year-old girl.
After a sumptuous dinner, Emerelda could hardly keep her eyes open and was so sleepy that she yawned.
But the little centaur still held Richard's hand and was reluctant to let go, saying nervously.
"Father, you will not leave me, will you?"
Richard looked at the figure squatting on the carpet, looking at him with a look of dependence on his face.
There is something subtle inside.
Why does it feel so amazing to be a father?
Looking at a figure who trusts me without reservation, looking at me eagerly, it feels really different.
Touched the other person's head.
"Emerelda, go to sleep and I will take you to collect honey tomorrow morning."
The little centaur's eyes immediately lit up, and he pursed his lips, as if he was recalling the taste he had tasted before.
"Father, is this what you ate today, the very sweet one?"
Richard smiled.
"Of course."
With the expectation of collecting honey tomorrow, Emerelda reluctantly went upstairs to rest accompanied by her maid.
When Karu, who was summoned next to him, saw this scene, he didn't feel as disobedient as the other heroes who had seen Emerel as powerful as the God of War.
Although Emerelda looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old.
But there are still many doubts in my heart.
"Master Richard, how come Miss Emerelda became your daughter?"
Richard shrugged, leaned back comfortably on the soft armchair, and recounted what happened today.
Finally.
"I guess that the collapse of the Land of Rules not only caused Emerida to lose all her power, but also caused some damage to her soul and lost most of her memory."
"So my memory and thinking level are only that of a five or six-year-old child."
Karu nodded thoughtfully.
After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and spoke.
"Sir, I suggest that if you have a way to restore Miss Emerelda's memory, there is no need to worry."
"How to say?"
"We can first let Miss Emerelda live in the Twilight City for a period of time to establish a relationship."
Richard shook his head.
"Whether it can be recovered or not is still unclear. There is no use thinking about it. Judging from Emerelda's current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult."
If Emerelda could never recover her previous memories, it would actually not be a bad thing for her.
At least, the other party can start over.
In the place where the rules are broken, he went from being a demigod to level 15, and was driven by a level 12 half-murloc lord.
Thinking about this long period of time spanning hundreds of thousands of years, it will definitely not be a happy experience.
Now that the land of broken rules has collapsed, it is not a bad thing for the other party to return to his carefree childhood.
How many people dream of going back to their childhood
Karu nodded and didn't say much in this regard.
He believed that Richard was more knowledgeable than him.
"Lord Richard, the gray dwarves are already looking for alchemy apprentices to make alchemy bombs. Mr. Brown proposed to me the idea of building an alchemy production workshop."
"We don't have the drawings at the moment, but Lord Brown says he knows how to build it, no drawings are needed."
Richard became somewhat interested.
"Do you agree?"
"This still needs to be decided by you,"
"Ask him to make a list of the resources he needs and start construction tomorrow. We will experience an unprecedented war in the territory on the 15th of next month"
As he spoke, Richard briefly explained the dungeon mission.
"So, we need to prepare sufficient war supplies in the fastest way during this period."
Carew immediately sensed the urgency of the matter.
"My lord, to resist the enemy's attack, it is more important to build the city wall now."
“We also need to build targeted defenses.”
"Especially the placement of the alchemical artillery."
"Alchemy artillery plays a huge role in defending the city. If it is properly arranged, it can cause a major blow to the enemy."
"Artillery fire needs to be able to cover all sides of the territory, rather than facing only one direction."
"Our defenses are not even organized yet."
Karu's words point directly to the biggest problem in Twilight City now - it has no power but no defense system.
The way we treat our enemies now relies on the hard power of the military.
It is far from giving full play to the geographical advantages that it should have in a city defense war.
In the final analysis, the core problem is that there is no city wall.
All other arrangements would be difficult to achieve without the weakness of the city wall.
Richard also had a headache.
"I already know about this problem and I will find a way to solve it."
Building a city wall requires blueprints, but he only found architectural blueprints for ordinary city walls in the trading market.
Even if the quantity is small, the price basically starts at 300,000 units of resources, which is a sky-high price.
He had already spent all his savings recruiting troops, and he did not have enough resources to purchase them now, so he could only wait.
I didn’t dwell too much on this and changed the discussion to another issue.
"Is there any progress in the brewery and food workshop in the past two days?"
Two B-class heroes transformed by the Hero's Proof have been taking over the two buildings for a while, but he hasn't heard any good news yet.
Karu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Sir, research and development will take a long time, especially since this is their first independent research and development. I'm afraid they still need to wait patiently for a while."
Richard had an idea in his mind, and he was afraid that before the dungeon was opened, he wouldn't be able to count on the benefits these two projects would bring.
Without thinking much, he was already mentally prepared. This thing probably requires long-term investment to see results.
"Go down and call Andele."
"Yes, my lord."
Not long after Karu left, Andele entered the hall in a hurry.
"Good night, my lord."
After saluting, the girl looked at him with interest.
"I heard that you brought back a beautiful centaur daughter. Where is Miss Emerelda?"
Richard couldn't laugh or cry.
"Emerelda went upstairs to sleep."
The girl's mood increased.
"My lord, how do centaurs sleep? Do they also sleep on beds?"
"Of course it's impossible for a centaur to sleep on a bed, so I asked the maid to bring some blankets and put them on the floor."
Richard said, waving his hand to stop the gossiping girl, and talked about business.
"You'll find out later when you go see it yourself. Now, let's talk about restoring the Extraordinary Hunter."
He said something in his mind.
The extraordinary hunter's huge body, 15 meters high, appeared directly in the hall.
Almost touching the high ceiling.
After a fierce battle with Emerelda, the usage time of the extraordinary hunter at this time has dropped to 20 minutes.
The armor was more and more broken.
If it is not repaired, Richard doubts whether he can continue the second battle.
If this big killer weapon collapsed like this, the losses would be huge.
This is his most powerful trump card at the moment, bar none.
Andele raised her head and looked at it for a few times, then frowned.
"Sir, can't mithril repair the extraordinary hunter?"
Richard shook his head.
"No, it can be repaired, but the Super Slayer consumes mithril too slowly."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of mithril from the system space and placed it at the feet of the extraordinary hunter.
In the girl's gaze, the extraordinary hunter bloomed with a faint light, covering the ore.
Then it began to swallow the mithril in the ore at an extremely slow speed.
What looks like a snail's crawl is enough to make even the most patient person anxious.
Xina looked at the ore thoughtfully.
"There are a lot of impurities in the mithril mine. Perhaps refining it into pure mithril will speed up the devouring process. Sir Richard, let me try it."
Richard nodded.
"That's the idea of calling you here."
As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and continued.
"How is the forging of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow going?"
Auntie'er's face showed a little pride.
"Master Richard, the first dragon-hunting crossbow will be forged tomorrow! You will definitely not be disappointed."
Richard felt a little better again.
"Yes, well done, Sheena, you never let me down."
"Speed up the forging speed and strive to forge more before August 15th."
"The City of Twilight now lacks powerful heavy crossbows."
The Dragon Hunting Crossbow was a blueprint he obtained from the Scarlet Council's treasury, with a level of up to 4 stars.
Extremely powerful.
In his defense plan, the alchemy artillery with large caliber and high damage is responsible for clearing enemies on the ground, while the dragon hunting crossbow is responsible for sniping enemy heroes.
A two-pronged approach.
There are still more than twenty days left, and he will increase the defense of Twilight City to the extreme.
At this time, he was already looking forward to the arrival of the copy. (End of chapter)
