Chapter 244 Breaking the Seal
Richard did not return to the Twilight City until the afternoon with the reluctant Emilida.
The ancient divine tree continues to be stationed here for fishing.
In a land of quicksand, this automatic fishing device is a super killer.
What also pleased him was that the Land of Quicksand was to the north of Twilight City, forming a protective barrier between the agricultural area and the desert outside.
In the future, if an enemy wants to attack Twilight City from the north, the first place they will encounter is the Land of Quicksand.
After Li Cha tasted it, he felt a little regretful.
"It's a pity. If we can get a few more pieces of quicksand land, it would be great to surround the Twilight City. Whoever comes will deliver food then"
Returning to the territory and looking at the busy working residents, Richard asked Emerelda to play by herself.
He went directly to the blacksmith shop.
"Lord."
Several apprentices who were in a hurry immediately raised their chests and saluted when they saw him.
"Where's Andele?"
"Lady Andel is in the backyard."
Richard waved his hand and asked the apprentices to go about their business, then walked through the hall and entered the backyard.
The extraordinary hunter with a broken appearance appeared in sight.
But he immediately discovered the difference in this mechanical puppet.
Compared with the past few days, the current extraordinary hunter has obviously been repaired a lot, and it no longer looks like it may collapse at any time.
After opening the properties panel and taking a look, my mood immediately improved.
Extraordinary Hunter, damage level - 60%, usable time 4 hours.
As expected of Andele, how many days has it been? The damage level of the Extraordinary Hunter has been reduced by 10%, and the use time has been restored to 4 hours.
The current extraordinary hunters are enough to support a high-intensity war.
"Lord Richard."
At this moment, a crisp voice came from behind.
Turning around and looking, Ander's slim figure appeared in front of her.
The clothes on his body were stained with many stains, and it was obvious that he had just left the stove.
The girl approached Richard with a smile in her eyes.
"Lord Richard, after I smelted it with gems and crystals mixed with mithril, the extraordinary hunter's repair speed increased a lot."
"If there are sufficient supplies, it can be completely repaired in up to two weeks."
He said feeling a little distressed.
"Less than half of the mithril you gave me is left"
Richard smiled.
"You did a great job and helped me a lot."
"If you want to completely repair the Extraordinary Hunter, you will need a huge amount of resources. It is difficult to raise them all in a short time, so don't worry about it."
"Although mithril resources are precious, don't worry too much about them. Use them freely. If the resources are not used, will they be left in the warehouse to get moldy?"
Andele smiled happily, and Richard's unreserved support moved her every time.
It's such a blessing to work for such a lord.
After Richard finished speaking, he seemed to have thought of something and asked.
"Is there any apprentice worthy of training in the blacksmith shop?"
"You are currently too busy with your work and have no time to take care of other things. I plan to train a new hero to share some of the tasks for you and specialize in researching technology"
The current technological progress in Twilight City is too slow.
Three months later, only the Bandaged Mummy, Scorpion Warrior, and Ax of the Dead have been enhanced.
Other arms are still in a blank slate state.
The combat effectiveness of the strengthened units can be increased by at least 20%, and the difference is very obvious compared to those without strengthening.
But Andele was so busy that she couldn't get out of her way.
He could only think of another way.
Moreover, one of the prerequisites for upgrading a territory from a small town to a middle city is that the territory must have advanced technology to upgrade.
If you invest resources in technology, you will not suffer any loss, whether in Blue Star or in this world.
When Andel heard this, she suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Sir, these apprentices are very diligent and motivated, but they really can't show their talent."
Richard also had a headache.
The residents of Twilight City are almost all refugees who fled from other places.
The quality is uneven, and it is impossible to say how difficult it is to select a few good seedlings.
"Please pay more attention, we are short of talents now."
“Especially seminars, be sure to make good use of them.”
"If there are no talents, then we will take the initiative to cultivate them"
While the two were chatting happily, an apprentice suddenly knocked on the backyard door and reported.
"Lord, Your Excellency Brown is outside asking for an audience."
Brown?
Has this gray dwarf alchemist discovered anything new recently?
Richard nodded, temporarily interrupted his conversation with Andiel, let his apprentice lead the way, and walked out of the blacksmith shop with the girl.
As one of the most core buildings, he issued a ban a few days ago - outsiders are prohibited from entering the blacksmith shop without permission.
Violators will be punished by military orders.
Of course, the same ban also extends to tailor shops.
Richard ignored other departments that had not made any achievements.
In the Twilight City, if you want to win respect, you only need to rely on your own achievements, and nothing else will matter.
He is deliberately creating an atmosphere of competition. Good fish cannot be raised in a stagnant pool of water.
Judging from the performance these days, it has indeed affected everyone.
Several other departments that had not made any progress were working hard to make some achievements.
They all want to make their department the third military restricted area in Twilight City.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Brown, a level 12 gray dwarf alchemist with an arm that was born with a deformity and was as short as a bean sprout.
"Good day, Master."
The moment Brown saw Richard, he subconsciously wanted to kneel down and worship, but he resisted.
Use your good arm to hold your chest and salute.
Seeing this, Richard nodded slightly.
Over the past few days, I have finally made some progress, and I am no longer kneeling on the ground every now and then.
He was very annoyed when the other party looked despicable when talking about business.
What he wants is a reliable assistant, not a timid slave who dares not even raise his head and only knows how to do it.
"Brown, what do you want from me?"
Brown responded immediately.
"Master, I have found a way to solve the seal in Ms. Xina's body, but"
He stopped mid-sentence and looked hesitant.
Richard was originally a little surprised, but he couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this scene.
"No need to worry, just say whatever you need."
Brown was still a little afraid, but under his fierce gaze, he gritted his teeth and said.
"It's Miss Emerelda. The blood in her body contains majestic power and can withstand the seal in Ms. Xina's body."
Brown was quite conflicted when he confirmed this in the past two days.
He was afraid that when Richard heard this, he would be angry and kill him.
Emerilda called Richard her father. He was actually very curious about who the centaur's mother was.
Richard was not as angry as Brown imagined, but was a little surprised.
"Are you sure Emerelda can do it?"
Brown was relieved and responded immediately.
"Yes, the energy contained in the blood in Miss Emerelda's body is extremely majestic, and no one is more suitable than her."
Richard understood somewhat.
After all, Emerelda was once a demigod-level existence, even if her own power disappeared with the shattering of the land of rules.
But the foundation of the demigod is still there, and the blood flowing in the body is still full of power.
"How much blood does it take to break the seal? Will it affect her?"
Brown said confidently, slapping his chest.
"Master, although I did not research the alchemical art of blood exchange, but in order to refute the other party, I had already understood this alchemical art thoroughly."
"Even if the seal cannot be broken, Ms. Emerelda and Ms. Xina will not be harmed."
Only then did Richard feel relieved.
"Besides Emerelda's blood, do you need any other materials?"
"10,000 units of mithril are needed to carve the alchemical magic circle."
Brown explains, "The process has to maintain the magic of abundance at all times."
Richard nodded, feeling a little excited in his heart.
He had long expected Xina, a powerful warrior cursed by the gods, to break free from her shackles. I just don’t know, after the opponent breaks the seal, can he break the restrictions of the A-level hero and become a more powerful being?
