Chapter 236 The birth of the dragon-hunting crossbow (16)
July 21, morning.
The residents of Twilight City suddenly discovered that there was a centaur running around in their territory.
The other person has an extremely delicate and cute appearance and is about fourteen or fifteen years old.
What is striking is that the other party's words and deeds are no different from those of a five or six-year-old child.
The residents were a little surprised at first, but after the centaur called the lord his father, it immediately aroused even more heated discussion.
"Lord, you really know how to play." An older middle-aged man covered his waist with envy on his face.
"Miss Emerelda must have been claimed by the lord from somewhere, right? She seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old and cannot be the child of the lord." A young girl pouted and muttered.
"Whether she is the lord's biological child or not, since we call the lord our father, Miss Emerelda is our princess."
"I really envy Miss Emerilda, if only my father were a lord"
"Asshole, I'm not worthy of being your father? Where's my belt? Get it over here."
"."
The residents were curious and wary about Emery Dagan. As they continued to come into contact with this centaur who was humming songs and looking innocent, they slowly let go of their inner worries.
Later, because of her cuteness, Emerelda was warmly welcomed by the residents wherever she went.
Moreover, the little centaur is also very sensible and will not delay the residents' work. At most, they will stand aside and look at them with the eyes of curious babies and ask questions.
The residents quickly fell in love with this sensible "little girl".
One by one, they took out the delicious food they had hidden and fed it without hesitation.
When the morning came down, the territory was filled with the crisp laughter of Emerelda.
The whole territory seemed to be relaxed and happy.
Richard ignored the villain and let him have a good time.
When he got up in the morning, the first thing he did was to disperse the army to hunt.
Lack of resources is a constant pain in Twilight City.
Upgrading territory, upgrading troop nests, constructing buildings, forging treasures, everything is inseparable from resources.
He was able to earn resources quickly enough, but compared to the huge expenses of the territory, it was still a drop in the bucket.
Especially the upgrade of the troop nests, the bottomless pit is not so exaggerated.
"Wait until the extraordinary hunter is repaired, and then go to the underground world. Just by hunting like this, how many years and months will it take to save enough resources for upgrades."
With the development of Twilight City, the main source of resource income in the early stage is hunting.
Gradually entering the bottleneck.
It is already somewhat unable to supply the huge quantity he needs.
This is also the main reason why he invested a lot of resources in developing new products very early.
In the future, the City of Twilight must be supported, and hunting alone will be difficult to sustain.
Only more profitable trade could support his grand plans.
After breakfast, Richard was about to go out to find heroes in the wild to complete the upgrade task that stuck him.
Andele entered the house excitedly.
"Lord Richard, the dragon hunting crossbow was forged successfully!"
Upon hearing this, Richard's eyes immediately lit up.
As a 4-star treasure, the Dragon Hunting Crossbow has been something he has been looking forward to for a long time.
Full of expectations, he followed the girl to the backyard of the blacksmith shop.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, his eyes were attracted by the ferocious heavy crossbow in front of him.
The width of this heavy crossbow is more than 5 meters, and its curved arc exudes a frightening coldness.
Dozens of ordinary bow strings are put together to form the bow string of the dragon hunting crossbow.
The dragon-hunting crossbow is engraved with special runes on its surface, and the powerful magic power fluctuations exude an extraordinary aura.
Greatly increases the attack power of this heavy crossbow.
Below is a wooden base with four wheels that can propel the dragon hunting crossbow.
Unless one has the blood of a giant, ordinary people cannot pull such a heavy crossbow.
Therefore, the dragon-hunting crossbow is equipped with an exquisite mechanism, with a winch on one left and one on its right.
When the winch is turned, the hook at the rear will pull the bow string and fix it on the buckle.
When you need to attack, just pull the trigger and the crossbow arrows will shoot out.
There are also 10 giant crossbow arrows arranged neatly on the crossbow cart. They have an extremely exquisite design. Once an attack is launched, the bow string can be pulled continuously to shoot without loading the gun.
And there is a special cross sight in front, which is full of fantasy.
Open the properties panel.
Dragon Hunting Crossbow
Rating: 4 stars
Features: Each dragon hunting crossbow can be equipped with 10 crossbow arrows and has a range of 800 meters.
The arrow flight speed is increased by 300%, the attack power is increased by 300%, and the hit rate is increased by 70%. It has piercing properties, causing extra damage to heavy armor units (not activated), and causing 200% extra damage to dragons (not activated). When attacking with a dragon-hunting crossbow, the range is increased by 200 meters and the other attributes are doubled.
Introduction: A super-powerful heavy crossbow used to hunt dragons.
This attribute is so domineering.
Coupled with the dragon-hunting crossbow that is more than 5 meters long.
Richard couldn't imagine what kind of boss deserved to be killed by a dragon-hunting crossbow.
Even extraordinary hunters must maintain the highest level of vigilance when facing such a terrifying weapon.
You may get tricked if you are not careful.
Moreover, this heavy crossbow has extra lethality against the dragon's life.
If you can forge hundreds of them, then pair them with alchemical artillery.
Twilight City can definitely become a nightmare for your enemies.
"The only pity is that there is no fascia of the level 15 dragon. The dragon hunting crossbow is still an incomplete version, and the extra lethality against the dragon cannot be activated."
“And it’s too expensive”
Forging one requires 15,000 units of rare resources.
If this thing is produced in large quantities, Twilight City will not be able to handle it
No, I have to go to the underground world to collect a handful of wool.
Bloodhoof City was squeezed by him, but didn't the gray dwarves still have so many cities?
He was very happy to capture the tens of thousands of units of mercury looted from the gray dwarf dungeon.
The other party is so generous. If he doesn't continue, he would be very sorry for the gray dwarf's hospitality.
Withdrawing his thoughts, he looked at the girl beside him who looked a little proud.
He patted the other person's head appreciatively.
"Well done, Andele, I can always trust you."
The girl's eyes instantly narrowed into crescent moons.
Like a child who has been praised by the teacher.
"How long does it take to forge a dragon-hunting crossbow now?"
Andele tilted her head and thought about it, then said happily.
"Sir, if there is sufficient supply of materials, I can reduce the forging time to 5 days, but 30 apprentices must cooperate."
Richard had an idea in mind.
"Use existing resources to prepare the materials required for forging. I will make up for the missing resources as soon as possible. We will need enough dragon-hunting crossbows to deal with the battle next month."
"Andele, the burden on you is very heavy."
Andele raised her head and looked directly into his eyes.
"Sir Richard, it is my honor to serve you!"
Richard was very satisfied with the girl's mentality.
"Now let's refine the mithril ore first. I need you to repair the extraordinary hunter as soon as possible. Next, I have to go to the underground world."
If you want to capture the gray dwarf city, you must first have a strong gun in your hand.
"As you wish."
After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Richard came to the front of the lord's mansion in deep thought.
Looking at the towering courtyard wall, he opened the territory panel.
Twilight City has stayed in the second-tier town for too long.
Upgrading to a third-level town requires 30,000 units each of gold coins, wood, stone, and iron ore, four high-end buildings, and a population of 1,000 people.
The high-end buildings currently include barracks, blacksmith shop, brewery, food workshop, and tailor shop, which are completely enough.
And the population has exceeded the quota.
After waving his hand to summon all the maids in the lord's mansion, he chose to upgrade.
In an instant.
The yellow sand is surging with light.
Looking down from the sky, one can see that the open space outside the Dusk City is rapidly expanding.
The gravel was swallowed up by the stone slabs.
This process lasted from noon to afternoon, and it took a full 4 hours before I heard the system prompt.
"Ding~ Dusk City has been upgraded to a third-level small town. The territory has been expanded by 60 open spaces. The current open space is 98 spaces."
Hearing the system prompt, Richard felt relieved.
It has been almost three months, and I have finally reached a level 3 town from a first-level village.
Opening the properties panel and taking a look at the upgrade requirements, his face suddenly fell.
"Upgrading to a first-level mid-city requires 50,000 units of gold coins, wood, stone, and iron ore each. The territory has a population of 2,000 people and one technology reaches advanced level."
The resources required rose to 200,000 units, a population of 2,000, and an advanced technology.
Among these requirements, resources are easy to obtain.
Needless to say, the population is an eternal pain in the Twilight City.
Advanced Technology Currently, Twilight City only studies the primary attacks of the three types of soldiers: Bandage Mummy, Scorpion Warrior, and Ax of the Dead.
There is still some way to go before advanced attacks.
And the problem is that the leading scientific research elite of Twilight City, Andel, is currently busy with other tasks and cannot conduct scientific and technological research.
This gave him a big headache.
"When will the Twilight City become a territory with neither resources nor talents?"
"The road is long, comrades still need to work hard." (End of Chapter)
