Chapter 348: A master alchemist who will never stop dying without saying anything surprising
After a long time, Richard got out of his excitement.
Now that we have the underground world we have longed for, the next step is how to arrange its development.
But after thinking about it, I feel a little confused.
With so many things to worry about, he had no idea where to start
While thinking hard, the soldiers at the door came to report, and Sel Bloodhoof asked to see him.
Richard came to his senses and called the other party in.
Serge, the controller of Bloodhoof City, felt a tremble in his heart when he saw Richard sitting on the golden throne.
In a daze, the scene of meeting each other for the first time came to mind.
The original level of Richard was only level 9.
The biggest reliance was the severely damaged extraordinary mechanical puppet.
In just three or two months.
The opponent has grown to the point where he doesn't need the mechanical puppet to bring him endless pressure with every move he makes.
He is level 15
Take a few deep breaths and force down your inner emotions.
Serge stepped forward, raised his chest and saluted with the utmost respect.
"Lord Richard."
When Richard saw the change in the other party's attitude, his mood was a little subtle.
The original equal status of both parties has gone forever with the rapid growth of Twilight City.
Strength is the only pass.
The underground world, which believes in the law of the jungle, takes this rule to the extreme.
Now Bloodhoof City, no, even the entire underground world, is no longer qualified to stand upright in front of him.
After a moment of silence, Richard smiled.
"No need to be polite, Serge."
"Bloodhoof City is still an ally of Twilight City, and you, Sel Bloodhoof, are still my friend."
Serge's body trembled, and his expression became extremely complicated.
Finally, he took a deep breath and raised his chest to salute again.
"Thank you."
After he straightened up, most of the caution in his eyes had disappeared, and his expression became much more sincere.
He said with a smile.
"My lord, all the gray dwarf cities have been captured by us."
"I have sent people to gather the supplies that you did not have time to collect before, and they will be transported to the Furnace City immediately."
As he spoke, his face became excited.
"Now, the underground world is completely ours."
“Several months of planning finally paid off.”
"Next, no one can compete with us for resources!"
Hearing this, Richard also had a smile on his face.
The natural environment of the underground world is harsh and food is scarce, but it also has resources that are the envy of the surface - minerals, very rich minerals.
There were so many confusing thoughts, and I didn’t know where to start, because this sentence suddenly became a little clearer.
Think about it and ask seriously.
"Sel, tell me, what are your thoughts on future development?"
Next, Bloodhoof City will become his spokesperson and rule the underground world for him.
There is a need to seriously discuss future planning issues.
There was no way he could let the underworld escape his control.
Serge immediately became excited.
"Sir, the most important thing for Bloodhoof City right now is to restore Bloodhoof City's army."
"In the previous war, we suffered too many losses, and there was not even one army left."
"Now that we have the resources of the gray dwarves, the soldiers who died in Bloodhoof City can be restored to their original state within three months at most."
"Secondly, the biggest benefit of continuing to trade arms to surrounding forces is to calm people's hearts and prevent those forces from having other ideas. At the same time, it can also provide sufficient material supplies for Twilight City."
"After Bloodhoof City regains the strength of its heyday, it can proceed to the third step - pacifying the underground world."
"This step is not only to conquer those chaotic areas, but also to bring all forces under the rule of Bloodhoof City."
"There must never be another race like the gray dwarves in the underground world that can compete head-on with Bloodhoof City!"
"Finally, explore and clean up the unexplored areas of the underground world, and completely control the underground world"
Richard nodded and made no comment.
Although these arrangements are not sophisticated plans, they can still be considered as some thought.
A peaceful underground world is obviously more in the interests of Twilight City.
Although the remaining races are diverse, they are not united.
If Bloodhoof City can't even handle a plate of loose sand, then they have no value in existence.
Seeing that Richard didn't speak, Serge couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
"Lord Richard, what are your plans for the underground world?"
Richard looked at the other party's nervous eyes and smiled.
"No need to worry, what I want is a peaceful and stable underground world."
"In the future, I hope that the underground world will become a super arsenal that can produce top-notch weapons and equipment under the rule of Bloodhoof City."
"In Furnace City, we will conduct research on alchemical technology and produce alchemical weapons for Twilight City."
As he spoke, his eyes became serious.
"The underground world is too small and far from where we belong."
"In the further future, I hope Bloodhoof City can join me in conquering the surface of the earth, fighting humans, undead, demons, elves, and orcs together!"
"Go and conquer those powerful races and plant the flag of Bloodhoof City all over the main plane!"
These words gave Serge a feeling of sudden enlightenment.
After the gray dwarf was overturned, he suddenly had no enemies and felt empty in his heart.
But at this moment, he saw a more ambitious goal.
The heart is filled up.
The dungeon barbarians are not kind beings, and they have longed for the rich surface of the earth.
There was no chance before, but now that he heard Richard's expectations for him, he immediately aroused strong expectations
Let the flag of Bloodhoof City fly in every city on the face of the earth.
Let the powerful races such as elves, humans, and orcs tremble under the feet of Bloodhoof City.
That picture could make him shudder just thinking about it.
Richard waited for the other party to get over his excitement before continuing.
"But before that, we still need to calm down the underground world. We need to have a stable rear area."
"At the same time, Bloodhoof City must become strong enough!"
"The enemies on the surface are hundreds of thousands of times more powerful than those in the underground world!"
As he spoke, his eyes became a bit majestic, staring at him closely.
"Two months ago, Twilight City hunted and killed the clone of the kobold god who came to the main plane."
"Sel, if you want to follow me on the main plane, the current Bloodhoof City is not enough."
Serge was startled.
Has Twilight City hunted the clones of gods?
Gods are majestic and majestic beings in this world. Who dares to blaspheme them even a little bit?
Even slander can be judged as blasphemy and will be pursued by the sect.
Now, the other party actually told him that Twilight City can even kill the clones of gods.
How crazy is this?
A feeling of being lifted up by a mountain suddenly arises.
Compared with the other party, Bloodhoof City is like a frog at the bottom of a well, unable to see how big the sky is.
The original pride and complacency in my heart suddenly disappeared, and what was left behind was a feeling of being with the right person and holding the right thigh.
"Lord Richard, you can rest assured that I will use the fastest speed to completely incorporate the underground world into the territory of Bloodhoof City."
"From now on, this land will only have one voice!"
There were so many races before, that was because the two powers were fighting for hegemony and there was no time left to deal with those forces.
Now, it's time to clear away all obstacles.
Seeing Serge leave with excitement, Richard also smiled.
After integrating the resources of the underground world, Bloodhoof City's power must be able to meet his requirements quickly.
From now on, there is another usable power in my hand.
This power is even stronger than the top few among tens of billions of players.
When the Void Sandworm reaches adulthood and can stably open the door to space for a long time, it can also take the gang of underworld brothers to attack the city outside.
It doesn’t matter that Twilight City is not suitable for the armies of other races. It just needs to cultivate a few forces of other races
Thinking about it in the future, Twilight City doesn't even need to take action and directly gives a target where the enemy is.
The younger brother in the underground world was able to drag the loot back, and Richard couldn't help but feel very good.
Some powerful beings like to support affiliated forces, and it seems that it is not without reason.
Not long after Serge left, Brown entered the main hall with a companion whose head was three times larger than that of an ordinary gray dwarf.
"Brown sends his highest greetings to the Great Master, the Lord of the Underworld, the Controller of the Twilight City."
The tone of this 12th-level alchemist has the exaggeration unique to gray dwarves. With only one normal arm waving, he looks like a clown showing off his funny face on the stage, which makes people smile.
After Brown saluted, the gray dwarf with a particularly big head immediately knelt on his knees and rested his head on the ground.
The posture is extremely humble.
A sharp voice sounded with a hint of fear.
"Great being, Gelu salutes you, may the gods protect you."
When Richard heard this, he glanced at this guy curiously.
Is this the master alchemist that Brown brought here specially?
Open the properties panel.

After reading the other party's attributes, Richard couldn't help but sigh.
Master level is awesome.
His skills are even more exaggerated than Aundair, the pearl of the Twilight City.
Moreover, this guy's potential has reached a powerful A level.
The harvest from conquering the underground world this time is too rich.
In a good mood, he looked at Gegru with admiration.
"No need to be polite."
After letting the two people stand up.
Richard looked at Brown.
"How is the settlement of the gray dwarves? Has there been any accident?"
Brown responded with arrogance.
"Master, those kids heard that the Alchemy Department will be stationed in the Furnace City in the future, run independently, and be managed by you personally. They are all very cooperative and no one has any objections."
Richard was a little funny when he heard this.
It seems like there is no need to ask. Some people like gray dwarves, such weaklings, dare not speak out if they have any opinions.
"Is there anything you need me to solve now?"
"Not yet."
Brown shook his head quickly. How big of a deal would it be for Richard to come forward?
It’s not like the gray dwarves want to rebel
He quickly changed the topic.
"Master, we are counting the alchemy production tools seized during this period, and we are also restarting various departments in Furnace City."
"It is expected that research on alchemy can be resumed in a week."
"As long as you give us some time, you will not be disappointed!"
Richard raised his eyebrows.
"It will take so long?"
The duergar were defeated so quickly that they did not cause much damage in the subsequent capture of the city.
It stands to reason that it should be able to restart a few days ago.
Brown smiled wryly.
"Those facilities have not been destroyed, but there are too many gray dwarves killed in the battle, and there is no manpower available."
"And because of the rise of alchemical exchange, a large amount of alchemical equipment has been idle."
"So it takes time to restart"
Only then did Richard understand.
Then he became somewhat interested.
"Is alchemy and blood exchange worthy of heavy investment and research?"
He was deeply impressed by the level 19 World Destroyer. Although it was instantly defeated, it was still very good for dealing with low-level units.
Brown shook his head.
"The original intention of the alchemical blood exchange technique was to use other life forms to strengthen the body of gray dwarves, but after research, it completely changed its meaning and turned into creating monsters."
"However, even if we continue to study, can we develop monsters that are stronger than the top-level arms of other races? It is impossible! Gray dwarves are not undead!"
"Our most powerful thing is alchemy!"
"Our mechanical puppets are no worse than the dwarves on the surface!"
"Leaving the strongest thing without research and creating some suture monsters is simply going astray!"
Richard thought about it and it seemed to be the same reason.
Those blood-sewed monsters look ferocious, but their combat capabilities are completely worthless.
Not to mention the level of soldiers like the Stone Statue of the Dead, even ordinary dungeon barbarians can deal with it.
On the contrary, the gray dwarves' mechanical puppets have considerable combat effectiveness.
After giving up the idea of developing in this direction, Richard looked at the alchemist master with a very spectacular head - Geglu.
He wondered if this guy's head was swollen. Otherwise, how could it be so big?
It's not that exaggerated to think that this thing can hold ten or eight pounds of water.
Is it possible that if you have a big head, you will be smarter?
Is the extraordinary world so reasonable?
"Gegru, I heard that the level 19 Destroyer driven by the gray dwarf chief was made by you?"
Gregor answered cautiously.
"Yes, great master."
"But that flesh and blood puppet is just a semi-finished product. I originally planned to make it into an extraordinary combat power."
"It's a pity that in the end there was not enough material, and that stupid idiot forced me to stop manufacturing, otherwise the power could be even stronger"
Only then did Richard realize.
The level 19 World Destroyer seemed very bluffing, but its real combat power was not strong. He had thought that it was poorly manufactured, but he did not expect that there was such a secret inside.
After speaking, Gelu paused for a moment and said uneasily when Richard didn't say anything.
"Great Master, Lord Brown said, you have an extraordinary mechanical puppet that is seriously damaged."
Richard's eyes lit up. This guy had a special skill - mechanical puppet repair.
"Yes, can you help me fix it?"
Without thinking, Gegru shook his head.
"No, my lord."
"Then what do you mean?"
Seeing Richard frowning, Gelu said quickly, not daring to show off anymore.
"I can transform your mechanical puppet into a stronger one, and even make it have independent intelligence and become a real life"
Richard suddenly stood up.
His gaze showed an astonishing pressure.
"What did you say?!" (End of Chapter)
