Richard personally sent Onyx out of Twilight City the following day.

Onyx took ten newly made yellow sand robes.

He had high hopes for Onyx when he returned to Solan City.

The yellow sand robes undoubtedly would be a salient source of income for Twilight City if they perform well.

However, Richard suddenly thought of something as they were about to leave.

He took out the 2-stars treasure map from the system s.p.a.ce.

“Onyx, I got this treasure map by chance. There’s a volcano marked on it. Do you know where it is?”

Onyx, who had a big belly, was stunned for a moment before he subconsciously reached out to take it.

He frowned after he closely looked at it.

“Lord Richard, this volcano seems to be a blue flame volcano…”

Onyx paused for a moment. Then he shook his head.

“But that volcano is superlatively perilous. I suggest you don’t take the risk.”

“Extremely dangerous?”

Richard was interested.

“How dangerous is it?”

“It is said a group of monsters live in the magma deep inside the volcano. When outsiders come close, this angers them.

“Those monsters can even trigger volcanic eruptions…”

As Onyx spoke, he took out the map and pointed in a direction.

“This is the place.”

Richard stared and found they were more than 1000 kilometers away from Twilight City.

He immediately had an idea.

Richard patted Onyx’s shoulder after he shared the map.

“I’m well aware of this matter.”

“Have a safe journey.”

Onyx didn’t say anything else. Besides, the other party’s determined personality wasn’t something he could persuade.

He revealed a sincere smile.

“Goodbye, Lord Richard. I look forward to your visit to Solan City.”

On the other side, Jonah Thorin had also finished bidding farewell to the red-eyed Adele. He rode on the camel reluctantly.

The flag of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce began to flutter as the coachman waved it.

With Onyx’s command, the convoy set off, and everyone left Twilight City.

Onyx suddenly turned around after a long distance.

The buildings had become blurry, and only the towering tree still swayed.

His expression was a little emotional.

It had only been two months since they last met, and the territory had changed so much.

He was still determining what would change the next time he came here.

When Onyx thought of this, he subconsciously touched the s.p.a.ce ring on his hand, and his expression became happy again.

Two hundred units of extremely precious Desert Crown Honey and ten yellow sand robes can automatically adjust the temperature.

This time’s hard work was not in vain.

An inexplicable sense of antic.i.p.ation rose in his heart. He wondered what kind of reward the president would give him when he returned this time.

Onyx left.

Richard consoled the pitiful Adele, and after the girl smiled again, he returned to the mansion alone.

He didn’t stay idle, so he called for the gray-colored dwarf alchemist, Brown.

The nervous Brown entered the hall and slowly approached Richard.

It was only then that Richard noticed how strange the way that gray-colored dwarf walked.

It seemed that in addition to the naturally deformed arm, there was also a problem with the leg.

It was no wonder it was in a wheelchair when he saw it.

“Great Lord, Brown greets you…”

After Brown approached, it suddenly knelt and saluted.

Its att.i.tude was superlatively humble.

The gray-colored dwarves were a race extremely afraid of death. They were at two extremes from the stubborn and brave dwarves in the legends.

Brown lifted its head slightly and looked at Richard. The young human lord was leaning back in its chair and sipping its tea nervously.

This young human Lord was now the master of its fate.

He only needed one sentence to determine its life and death.

Absolute power formed absolute authority.

Richard put down his cup and gestured for the man to stand up.

When he looked at Brown’s scared appearance, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

He didn’t eat people.

He looked at the other party with interest.

“How is it? How does Twilight City compare to the underworld?”

Brown said carefully.

“Brighter than the underground world…”

Richard couldn’t help but smile.

It was a comparison so strong that he couldn’t refute it.

After they chatted for a while, they s.h.i.+fted the topic to the main agenda.

“The defense plan of Twilight City was to use the hurricane arrow tower as the core.

“But the giant cannon I seized gave me an extra plan to add another layer of defense.

“The dragon-hunting crossbows placed in the hurricane arrow tower are used to deal with the enemy’s top-tier battle power.

“Giant cannons, attack the ordinary troop.

“However, Twilight City doesn’t have an industrial system that can produce giant cannons.

“Even maintaining the current artilleries is a problem.”

As Richard said that, his gaze turned serious.

“Brown, I’m giving you an important task now. That is to establish the alchemy industry system of Twilight City.”

As soon as Richard finished speaking, Brown’s eyes lit up.

The fact that the other party was willing to give him such an important task meant that his life would not be in danger for the time being.

Immediately, his spirit and energy rose.

He flattered.

“Lord, we’ll do as you say!”

Richard nodded.

“From today onwards, the 105 cannons will be under your care.

“If you need any materials, you can ask Karu.

“But no mistakes are allowed.”

He paused for a moment before he continued.

Apart from that, I’ll set up an Alchemy Department, and you’ll be the Head of the Department.

Brown praised loudly.

“Praise be to you, Great Lord. I will be a good supervisor!!”

Richard chuckled, his tone deep.

“Being a supervisor is not that simple. In addition to the work at hand, you have to take two hours a day to teach the residents in the territory and popularize alchemy knowledge.

“At the same time, you can choose those talented residents to learn alchemy from you.

“Remember, the people you choose must be talented. They will work in the Alchemy Department in the future, and you will be their direct leader.

Giving lessons to the residents? Spreading alchemy knowledge?

Brown suddenly recalled the scene of a large group of people learning the common language in the square in front of the feudal Lord’s mansion last night.

He was puzzled.

“My Lord, why do you want to pa.s.s on n.o.ble knowledge to those lowly commoners?”

In the underground world, knowledge was a treasure more important than life.

He really couldn’t imagine why Twilight City had made such a policy.

Richard didn’t explain.

“Just do as you say. Come and ask me if you still don’t understand in three months.

“Also, the seminar in the other departments is open to the public. If you’re willing, you can attend.

“Knowledge is precious, but it’s not the only one.”

After Richard said that, he looked at the gray-colored dwarf. This confused Richard. He gave an intense warning.

“Brown, remember, this is Twilight City, not the underworld.

“There are new rules and laws here.

“Throw away your inherent ideas and welcome this new world.

As Richard spoke, he recalled how this guy had kowtowed after it entered the room and felt a little touched.

“From the moment you stepped into Twilight City, you were one of us.

“As long as you don’t betray this city, no one will hurt you. I’m no exception.

“You must not be as lowly as the underground world anymore. As long as you can make enough contributions in the future, you can raise your head and be a human with your back straight.

“No one will look down on you because you are a gray-colored dwarf or because of your physical defects. Everyone will respect you because of your achievements.

“Remember, you are Brown from Twilight City.”

He looked into those deep eyes.

The level 12 alchemist suddenly fell silent. An intense feeling rode in its heart.

After Brown thought about it for a long time, a word appeared in its mind… Respect.

In the underground world, the strong could take all.

They either had to receive the wors.h.i.+p of others or kneel to others.

This feeling was too special …

After Brown took a deep breath, it was just about to kneel and thank the human lord when it suddenly thought of the actions of the others. Brown forcefully stopped and slowly placed its hand on its chest to pay respects.

“Yes, my Lord …”

By the time the gray-colored dwarf alchemist left the Lord’s mansion, it had inexplicably lost some of its humility and fear. It had more confidence.

Brown turned around and looked at its surroundings. In its heart, it had gained more recognition of this territory that he had just arrived at for a day. The human residents were no longer so unfamiliar.

[Ding~ You have used your words and charm to convince a level 12 gray-colored dwarf alchemist that caused its character to undergo a certain degree of change. The progress of the [leaders.h.i.+p] skill has increased to 80%.]

[Leaders.h.i.+p Skill: Special skill, ordinary (80%). Possesses strong personal charm. Can easily persuade and influence subordinates, making them have strong trust in you. At the same time, there is a certain chance to make the troops in the wild surrender.]

Richard’s expression changed when he heard the notification.

‘It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of this special skill being upgraded…

‘Isn’t it too difficult to level up this thing?’

It had been more than two months. And it was still at the beginner level.

It wondered if it should find a few people to talk about life ideals in the future. When it looked at his condition, this was the way to level up.

The effects of the leaders.h.i.+p skill were not as direct as the attack skills. But if it were upgraded to an advanced level, it would still be very impressive.

This was especially so for increasing his charm. There was no such thing as too much.

Not to mention, it could also make the troops in the wild surrender.

In the future, when his level was higher, he could subdue the enemy with his words. It was not bad.

At that moment, a roar came from far away and resounded in the sky above Twilight City.

The moment this roar rang out, other voices came from all around.

Richard suddenly looked up, and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
