Catching a gray-colored dwarf proficient in alchemy was something one could do.

Moreover, Sel can keep it in his mind. One does not need to think about it and know that the other party must be vastly skilled.

Richard was interested.

“Lord Sel, do you have a map of the other party’s city?”

After he said that, Richard added, “If it’s convenient, please give me another map of the underground world.”

This small request was naturally not a problem.

Sel immediately waved his hand and asked the guard to return and get it.

Richard looked at the figure of the soldier who had left and suddenly thought of something. He fell into deep thought.

Sel’s words reminded him.

Since he could capture the gray-colored dwarves with extraordinary alchemy skills, why couldn’t he capture other talents with superb skills?

The moment this thought arose, Richard felt that his train of thought immediately opened up.

Alchemy, magic, forging, brewing wine, processing food, tailoring, and so on.

He needed all these talents.

Moreover, if he only selected elite talents, he didn’t have to worry about the morale of the Twilight City residents dropping because of the influx of too many foreign races.

The more Richard thought about it, the more he felt that this idea had great potential to be tapped.

What was Twilight City lacking right now? Talent, and it was supremely lacking.

He suspended the brewery and the food workshop where he had high hopes because no heroes were moving in.

The industry he wanted to build now was only the tailor shop that could produce the expensive yellow sand robe.

The other ideas were still on paper.

Richard became increasingly excited as he continued to think along this line of thought.

The underground world was so vast that there were too many resources available.

Aside from he could develop it into his dumping channel, monopolize the goods it produced, and earn more profits. But he could also collect the talents of the underground world for his use.

It didn’t matter even whether he didn’t use those talents to the surface world.

He could build a base underground.

He would use this underground base to digest the various resources of the underground world. And with the output, it would feed Twilight City.

The various transactions with Bloodhoof City would also become convenient this way.

When Richard thought of this, he had already made a decision.

He would gradually implement this plan in the future. It would make this underground world into a map of nutrients for Twilight City.

However, this process might take a long time.

But there was nothing arduous in this world, only those with the heart.

There would always be something to gain as long as one did it.

After they chatted for a while, the soldier brought two maps.

Richard a.s.similated them into the system map without hesitation.

Then, he had the skeleton blood dragon, Alves, who had just become an A-rank hero, bring his troop to guard his cannon.

He and Sel returned to Bloodhoof City.

He still had some plans to discuss with the ruler of Bloodhoof City.

After they returned to the city, Richard realized that the gray-colored dwarves heinously attacked the armed-to-teeth Bloodhoof City.

A large part of the 40-meter-high city wall had collapsed, and enormous boulders were scattered all over the ground.

The hundreds of arrow towers behind the city wall had almost all collapsed. As if a tiger where has pulled out its teeth.

The enemies mostly destroyed the setup in the open catapults.

Further behind, several residential houses had collapsed, and thick smoke still rose from many places.

The scattered city guards were all injured. And none of them were in good condition.

However, Richard estimated that this damage would take at least three to five months to rebuild.

It made him depressed. He had initially hoped Bloodhoof City would send troops to conquer other forces and plunder resources to trade with him.

The actions of the gray-colored dwarves had directly damaged Bloodhoof City.

It was likely that they would not be able to recover their vitality in a short time.

Sel felt moved when he saw Richard’s displeasure at the destruction of Bloodhoof City.

A friend in need is a friend indeed.

Richard had a burning heart.

‘I was not wrong about him.’

“Lord Richard, you don’t have to worry.

“I received news that the gray-colored dwarves would attack from the south, so I sent a 4000-man troop to the station in the fort in the south.

“Now that I think about it, the news is just a conspiracy of the gray-colored dwarves.

“I have already ordered the troop in the south to be sent back. Although Bloodhoof City suffered heavy casualties this time, it will not be in danger.”

Sel added.

“In the underground, the only ones who can threaten Bloodhoof City are the gray-colored dwarves.

“But the enemy’s most st.u.r.dy city defense cannons have become our spoils of war. They can’t bring out the second batch of weapons with such strapping power.

“So as long as the gap in the city wall is blocked, Bloodhoof City will still be indestructible.”

This time, it was the enemy who unexpectedly used giant alchemy cannons. Otherwise, the gray-colored dwarves’ siege force could not take down Bloodhoof City.

It would still be the same even if they blew down the city walls.

Richard looked at Sel in surprise.

‘There were still 4000 troops?

‘d.a.m.n, Bloodhoof City was ultimately a big business.’

“With that, I can rest a.s.sured.”

They could still carry out the plan.

Furthermore, the enemies have heavily injured Bloodhoof City. Shouldn’t they attack a few more forces to recover their blood?

The two chatted as they returned to the Lord’s mansion.

Only this time, the surrounding soldiers did not look at Richard as vigilant and wary as they did a few hours ago.

Instead, respect and fear shrouded these soldiers.

They respected his actions and feared his strength.

They sat down at the long table again.

Sel personally poured a cup of unique underground flower tea for Richard.

Just as Richard took a sip, a soldier entered the room with two yellowed parchments and handed them to Sel.

Sel opened them and looked over with a smile on his face.

“Lord Richard, thank you again for your help.

“The resources in Bloodhoof City are not as rich as those on the surface, and I don’t have much to give you. Just use these two special drawings to express the grat.i.tude of Bloodhoof City.”

“May our friends.h.i.+p last forever.”

Richard was a bit interested.

A treasure that a level 15 hero and Bloodhoof City ruler Sel gave him as a thank-you gift, is not trash.

After he reached out to take it, he opened the first one.

The pattern of an alchemy bomb appeared on it, followed by a series of production processes.

Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with these. He could not see anything after a few glances.

But after opening the attribute panel, his eyes immediately gleamed felicity.

[Star Fragment Bomb Blueprint (Permanent)]

[Level: 4-stars]

[Characteristics: Can produce a 4-stars alchemy bomb — star fragment (contains a large number of sharp blades, after the explosion, it will cause ma.s.sive damage within a radius of 50 meters.)]

[It can adjust the ammunition size according to the caliber of the cannon. The larger the volume, the more resources are needed to make it. And the power will increase accordingly.]

[Production Requirements: 100 units of refined iron, 1000 units of mercury, 1000 units of crystals, 1000 units of sulfur, expert alchemy hero.]

[Description: Alchemy bomb blueprint pa.s.sed down from ancient times.]

‘4-stars.

‘What a treasure.’

Richard was satisfied with this gift.

He was just worried about how to solve the problem of the cannon’s ammunition in the future.

It was Sel who understood him.

This person was capable and willing to take out the good stuff.

With the first 4-stars blueprint, it aroused his appet.i.te.

With mighty expectations, he opened the second blueprint.

Unexpectedly, this blueprint was not a blueprint for weapons and equipment but a treasure map.

He was too familiar with this thing.

Previously, he had obtained a 2-stars treasure map, but he had never had the time to explore it.

He opened the attribute panel.

The next second, after he read the words on it, his eyes widened.

[Dragon Treasure Map]

[Level: Special]

[Characteristics: Hidden treasure of the black dragon.]

[Description: You can find the location of the treasure the dragon buried.]

Richard raised his head and looked at Sel. His mouth and tongue were dry.

“The transcendent black dragon left this behind?”

Sel nodded.

“Yes, the transcendent black dragon left it.

“And the treasure location is in the swamp in front of the surface.”

Richard was a little bewildered.

‘They already knew the location, so why didn’t they search for it until now?’

The transcendent black dragon had been dead for a few months, and the swamp was narrow. It was more than enough to search ten times.

As if Sel saw Richard’s confusion, he explained with a bitter smile.

“When Father slaughtered the black dragon, he found a lot of treasures in its nest. This treasure map is one of them.

“We searched the swamp many times but found no trace.

“I think that treasure belongs to the lucky ones. Bloodhoof City doesn’t have that kind of luck.”

Richard nodded slightly.

There was always a chance to get the treasure since there was it.

It was the treasure map of the extraordinary dragon. It was arduous to find, but if they found it…

The harvest would be superlatively rich.

After he placed the two blueprints into the system s.p.a.ce, Richard thought about it.

The series of events that happened after he entered Bloodhoof City had given him a bountiful harvest.

Not to mention the trade, just the birth of Alves, an A-rank hero, and the fact that the hero had used the extraordinary dragon’s corpse to transform.., obtaining an extremely powerful Beyond A-rank skill was enough to make his trip worthwhile.

Next was the hundreds of cannons.

They were definitely worth hundreds of thousands of resources. Moreover, this did not include the cost of time and labor.

These cannons could highly increase Twilight City’s defensive capabilities. The meaning of this was not something one could describe with just a few resources.

That was his lair.

The third was the 4-stars blueprint for the shattered star bomb.

One could only find treasures of this level by chance.

Even if Twilight City didn’t use it in the future, they could still manufacture it and sell it to players on the forums.

Finally, there was the extraordinary dragon’s treasure map. Although Sel had searched for several months, he still hadn’t found it. Didn’t this show just how precious the items inside were?

Why would the black dragon hide ordinary treasures?

When he thought of this, he felt a great sense of relief.

“Next, we’ll take the great gray-colored dwarves away, and this trip to the underworld will be perfect.”
