"Master, do you need to send some troops to the underground passage?"
Gray looked at the army passing through the two-way portal and hesitated.
"The underground passage is not secret, if Gray Dwarf retaliates..."
The City of Dusk has been rampant in the underground world these days.
As much wealth as they plundered from the grey dwarves, so much was the hatred they hated.
Richard shook his head.
"Let the **** mummy who was originally stationed here continue to be vigilant. If there are enemies coming, it is enough to notify Treebeard in advance."
Sending troops to garrison doesn't do much.
If you send too much, the city of Twilight can't take it, and if you send too little, you can't deal with the enemy.
There is an ancient tree of gods and sins stationed on the other side of the two-way portal.
The other party wants to go to the surface through the teleportation array, purely to deliver food.
Moreover, the two-way portal is also protected by space energy, and the extraordinary hunters cannot destroy it, nor are they afraid that the other party will destroy the portal.
Gray suddenly stopped talking.
After the simple arrangement, Li Cha watched the last skeleton and blood dragon leave without hesitation.
Alves, who was sitting under his seat, retracted his wings and passed through the portal with a short body.
After a slight obstacle was penetrated, the tall body of the ancient tree of the gods appeared in front of Li Cha.
A smile appeared on his face.
This kind of feeling of stepping across a hundred miles is really good.
Unfortunately, the two-line portal is a 4-star treasure, which is rare.
Otherwise, if you get a dozen or so, it will definitely expand the sphere of influence of Dusk City.
After telling the gods and evil Gu Shumi to guard the two-way portal, Li Cha returned to the city of dusk with the army.
The sun was about to sink into the earth at this time, and the orange-red sunset shone on him, covering him with a layer of dazzling armor.
With that extraordinarily good temperament, it is eye-catching.
Especially the young female residents in the city, when they saw Richard, their faces turned red, and their eyes were full of light.
I want to see more, but I am too shy to watch more.
After Richard dismissed the army, he did not return to the lord's mansion, but went directly to the blacksmith shop.
"Lord Richard, you come back~"
When Andel saw Li Cha, she immediately showed a bit of surprise on her face, and subconsciously touched the sweat on her forehead.
I didn't notice some dust on my hands, leaving a conspicuous mark on my face.
But with that lovely face, it was a little more playful.
"I'm back, I got a good harvest this time."
Seeing the girl's smile, Li Cha felt better.
"How is the forging of the dragon hunting crossbow?"
Andelle said lightly.
"The preliminary preparations have been completed. As long as the rare resources are in place, we can forge 5 dragon hunting crossbows within three days."
As a 4-star treasure, the dragon-hunting crossbow has always been regarded by Richard as a killer.
This thing was developed for hunting dragons, and its lethality can be imagined.
In the dungeon that is about to open, you don't have to think about it and know that a powerful boss will inevitably appear.
He may not be able to stop the opponent at that time, and it is necessary to create a perfect defense system for Dusk City.
Dragon hunting crossbow exists to hunt bosses.
This big killer is strong, but the resources required are also exaggerated - 5000 units of mercury, 5000 units of sulfur, 5000 units of crystal, 1000 units of refined iron, fascia of a dragon or hybrid dragon above level 15, special grade blacksmith.
Thinking of this, he glanced at his attribute panel, and most of the feeling of getting rich in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Niang Le, went to the underground world and plundered fiercely, but in the end it was only enough to forge three or five dragon hunting crossbows.
I don't know if the underground world is too poor, or if this thing is really precious.
However, the 4-star level treasure, the level is here, there is nothing to say.
"I'll give you 10,000 units of mercury, sulfur, and crystal first, and temporarily forge two."
One Hurricane Arrow Tower has been built, and two more are under construction.
Three arrow towers, at least one dragon hunting crossbow should be placed in each one.
Together with the one that was forged before, we can now make up three.
"Forge 6 dragon-hunting crossbow arrows first, and the resources will be given to you together."
Dragon hunting bolts are relatively cheap, requiring 500 units of crystal, 500 units of sulfur, 500 units of mercury, and 100 units of fine iron.
But as a consumable, the crossbow arrow is also expensive enough.
As a result, this wave directly consumed 39,000 units, and the rare resources in hand immediately plummeted.
Gems: 12329 units
Mercury: 41320 units
Sulphur: 412 units
Crystal: 19306 units
Other resources are still sufficient, but the sulfur is seriously insufficient, and it is impossible to continue to increase the weight.
Li Cha had a headache.
"The financial resources of Dusk City can't use the Dragon Hunting Arrows arbitrarily, so you need to build some ordinary heavy crossbow bolts to use together..."
Andelle said with a little admiration.
"It doesn't matter, my lord, it's amazing enough that you can develop Dusk City so powerful in just three months."
"These difficulties are only temporary and I believe they will be resolved eventually."
Seeing those eyes full of trust, Li Cha warmed his heart.
Reaching out and pinching the girl's face, he wiped the trace off her face.
Seeing the other party's face turning red, his eyes shy, he laughed.
"Have you found any apprentices who have the potential to become heroes in the past two days?"
Andel is currently busy with tasks and can't find time to develop technology.
It is imperative to train a second blacksmith.
One of the conditions for the city of dusk to upgrade from a third-level small city to a middle city is that it needs to have advanced technology.
But at present, the technology of Dusk City has been stuck for a long time, and there are only three primary technologies.
When Andel heard the words, her eyes moved slightly, and she said hesitantly.
"Lord Richard, among the last batch of residents who joined Dusk City, there is indeed a good potential..."
Li Cha frowned.
"Why, the other party doesn't want to join the blacksmith shop?"
Andelle shook her head.
"No, not for this reason, but... the other side only has one arm."
Only one arm?
Li Cha was stunned.
an arm? How did the other party strike the iron?
Although he intends to train him to become a hero who specializes in researching technology, blacksmithing is the root of the profession of blacksmiths after all.
No matter what industry, missing an arm is more difficult than normal people encounter.
Not to mention the blacksmith industry.
And it's not just Li Cha who has the same doubts.
Those around Sam wondered about his choice.
It is too difficult for a person with a broken arm to choose the profession of blacksmithing.
"Sam, I heard you were hired by the smithy?"
Sam wiped the sweat from his forehead with his right hand just after returning from the blacksmith shop, looked at the aunt with a sigh in front of him, and nodded with a smile.
"Aunt Marley, that's right."
"Lord Andre has hired me."
Aunt Marley said a little distressed.
"Silly boy, if you don't do anything right, you have to strike iron."
"You only have... ugh."
"If you're not used to it, go to the agricultural area to take care of the jujube forest and shamai with me... Thanks to the trust of the lord, I am in charge of managing the agricultural area, and I am recruiting people now."
That round face like a red apple was extraordinarily kind at this time.
Sam was very grateful in his heart. The lord and aunt helped them a lot these days.
"Thank you, Aunt Marley, but now that I'm a member of the blacksmith's shop, I won't bother you anymore."
Seriously speaking.
"I like the profession of blacksmithing, and I like the feeling of forging ore into agricultural tools and weapons."
With a gentle look in his eyes, he turned his head and glanced inside the house.
"Also, Shanna likes me being a blacksmith too."
Hearing this, Aunt Marley sighed again.
"You're a good boy, and Shanna is a lucky person..."
Before I finished speaking, yah~ the door opened.
A freckled girl in a long sackcloth dress appeared at the door.
The other face is thin with long-term nutritional deficiencies.
Surprisingly, the other's wide eyes did not focus on the two of them at the door.
Like the eyes of a mechanical puppet.
The girl pushed open the door and faced the side where neither of them were present.
"Sam, are you back?"
"I also heard Aunt Marley's voice just now, Aunt Marley, are you there too?"
His tone was a bit light and sparrow-like.
Aunt Marley felt even more distressed when she saw this.
"Sanna, I'm here."
Hearing the sound, the girl turned around cautiously, leaning against the wall.
"Aunt Ma Li, good afternoon, thank you for the jujube you sent last time, it's delicious."
The eyes were still out of focus.
Aunt Ma Li stepped forward, supported the other party, and said gently.
"If you like it, I'll bring some more next time."
Then he turned to look at Sam.
"Your sweetheart went to the smithy to apply for a job today. He has already been hired. From now on, he will work for the lord. This is a decent job."
"The lord is very concerned about the blacksmith shop."
Hearing this, the girl's face was full of surprise, and she turned her face in the direction of the voice just made, but she failed to face Sam.
"Sam, is this true? You were hired by the smithy? Can you work for Lord Lord in the future?"
Sam suddenly felt like something was blocking his throat.
Nodding hard.
"Sanna, that's right! I've been hired by the smithy and get paid every month!"
"In the future, we can no longer accept relief from the lord, and can make money to buy food by ourselves."
The girl clapped her hands and cheered.
"Great! Sam, I knew you could do it~"
Speaking as if thinking of something, he suddenly said cautiously.
"They... didn't say anything to you, did they?"
Sam shook his head.
"No, Shanna, the adults at the blacksmith hold me in high regard and don't disagree with me because I'm missing an arm!"
When Aunt Marley heard this, her nose suddenly became sour.
How could it be so easy for an ordinary person with a broken arm to join the blacksmith shop with the highest status in Dusk City.
Thinking of this, I felt a little proud in my heart.
This is Dusk City and no other city.
With Mr. Richard here, as long as he has the ability, he will not be discriminated against.
"Yes, Sam is a capable boy."
"Sanna, don't worry, this is Dusk City, the Dusk City ruled by Lord Richard! No one dares to do such a thing!"
"And I'm here, who dares to bully Sam and I'll support him!"
The girl smiled instantly.
"Thank you, Aunt Marley~"
After speaking, he turned his head in Sam's direction, this time finally facing him.
Serious tone.
"Sam, the City of Dusk is a territory worth protecting. The Lord's kindness to us is more precious than gold."
"Go to the blacksmith shop, work hard, and contribute to the city of dusk and the lord."
"If there was no Dusk City, perhaps we would have died when the Temple was broken."
"We have circulated so many territories, have you ever seen a territory like Dusk City that values our ordinary residents?"
"Here, we were not discriminated against, we were not oppressed, and we were given a warm and safe house and adequate food..."
"This is a great kindness. Without the city of dusk, perhaps, we will never find a home where we can live in peace."
"Sam, I know that without me, you will live better. So I hope that even if I am gone one day, you can live well."
"Your talent doesn't stop there, you can bloom your own light in the city of dusk..."
Sam looked at the serious girl in front of him, his eyes turning red quietly.
The eyes of the other party were still lacking in energy at the moment, but in his eyes they were as bright as the stars.
That night, he was summoned to the lord's mansion.
Subsequently, the second blacksmith was born in Dusk City.
The young man with only one arm left, after leaving the lord's mansion, he silently knelt down in front of the gate and kowtowed nine times.
He silently swore an oath in his heart that in this life, he is only for Shanna and the city of dusk...
"Ding~ Axe of the Dead mid-level attack, estimated development time: 20 days, estimated resources needed: 20,000 gold coins~www.mtlnovel.com~10,000 units of stone, 100,000 units of iron ore, success rate: 60%."
Li Cha looked at the system prompt and was in a good mood.
After more than a month, the scientific and technological research of Dusk City was finally started again.
This time, it is no longer Andelle, who he regards as a treasure, but the blacksmith hero Sam who has been bestowed with heroic power by him.
After Li Cha summoned the other party, he was pleasantly surprised to see three characteristics in him - tenacity, intelligence, and hard work.
This Sam is not yet a hero.
The two residents who were promoted to heroes by him before have only one characteristic.
No wonder Andelle was so optimistic about each other.
Later, I learned that the blacksmith with only one arm was living alone with a blind girl, and his heart was touched even more.
He found them in the desert. Before the accident, the two planned to cross the desert of death...
The two disabled people leaned on each other to support each other and crossed the vast desert.
That feeling, thinking about it, made him silent.
God has deprived them of a lot, so let him give them hope again.
And after Sam became a hero, the attributes are also really good.
The most outstanding is one of them - the attribute that increases the success rate of research and development by 20%.
Although it is not as good as Andelle, she is fully capable of undertaking the major task of researching and developing technology.
After leaving the resources needed for research and development in the blacksmith shop, Richard returned to the lord's mansion.
As soon as he entered the house, the system prompt suddenly rang.
"Ding~ This week is disaster week, the dead are recovering, please be prepared."
"Ding~ The troop lair has been refreshed, please recruit your own lords." (To be continued)
