Global Lord: Start As A Desert Lord

It was already night when Richard returned to Twilight City.

The clear and bright moon sprinkled from the sky, and the moonlight was like water, covering the entire territory.

It looks extra special.

On the square in front of the lord's mansion, the residents after dinner were actively participating in literacy classes and learning new knowledge.

Everyone starts learning from reading, and the literacy class does not impart too much advanced knowledge.

"Glory Age" is not compared to the modern age of the information explosion. Knowledge is a rare item monopolized by the aristocrats. How can lowly ordinary people have the right to touch it?

Only the great Twilight City, the great lord can be so kind and generous.

At this time, it can be so straightforwardly displayed in front of them, allowing them to learn.

Residents who realize the value of knowledge are hungry and thirsty.

Without experiencing this special era background, it is impossible to imagine how high the Common residents' desire for knowledge is.

Knowledge, in this world, represents power, power, social status, class... everything.

Even if they were forced to leave Twilight City one day, it would be enough to rely on their strong ability of literacy to find a job without worrying about food and clothing.

Not to mention, the lord also promised that those who learn Excellent will still have the opportunity to be cultivated.

These residents who could not find the way to learn before, after getting this opportunity, the efforts they showed made Richard quite emotional.

And the cohesion of the people's hearts by this policy is far beyond his imagination.

Among these residents, some really regarded him as a god, and almost built a church for him.

Looking at the square full of people, Richard dismissed the army quietly without disturbing the residents who were in class.

After quietly taking Emirida back to the lord's mansion, under the surprised eyes of the maid, he arranged for two people to take care of the boss who had turned into a five or six-year-old girl.

After a sumptuous dinner, Emerald could hardly keep his eyes open, and yawned from sleepiness.

But the villain still held Richard's hand, reluctant to let go, and said nervously.

"Father, you won't leave me, will you?"

Richard looked at his figure squatting on the carpet, his face full of dependence.

The heart is a little subtle.

Why is it so strange to be a father?

Looking at a figure who trusts me without reservation, looking at me eagerly, it feels really different.

Touched each other's head.

"Amirida, obediently go to sleep~ I will take you to pick honey tomorrow morning."

The little centaur's eyes lit up immediately, and he pursed his lips, as if reminiscing what he had tasted before.

"Father, is that what you ate today, the very sweet one?"

Richard smiled.

"Of course."

With the expectation of picking honey tomorrow, Emirida reluctantly went upstairs to rest accompanied by the maid.

Seeing this scene, Karu, who was summoned next to him, did not feel such a strong sense of disobedience like other heroes who had seen Emerida as powerful as the God of War.

Although Emerida looks fifteen or sixteen years old from the outside.

However, there are still many doubts in my heart.

"Master Richard, how did Miss Emerida become your daughter?"

Richard shrugged, leaned comfortably on the soft armchair, and narrated what happened today.

Finally.

"I guess that the collapse of the Land of Rules not only caused Emerida to lose all her power, but also caused her soul to be damaged to a certain extent, and she lost most of her memories."

"So my own memory and thinking level is only in the state of a five or six-year-old child."

Karu nodded thoughtfully.

After thinking for a moment, he hesitated and said.

"My lord, I suggest that if you have a way to restore Miss Emerida's memory, there is no need to worry."

"How to say?"

"We can let Miss Emerida live in Twilight City for a period of time to establish a relationship..."

Richard shook his head.

"Whether it can be recovered or not is another matter. It's useless to think about it. Judging from Emerida's current state, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

If Emerida can never recover her previous memories, it is actually not a bad thing for her.

At least, the other party can start over.

In the land of broken rules, the demigod power flow becomes 15th level, and is also driven by a 12th level murloc lord.

Thinking about this long period spanning hundreds of thousands of years, it will never be a happy experience.

Now that the Land of Broken Rules has collapsed, it is not a bad thing that the other party can return to a carefree childhood.

How many people dream of going back to childhood...

Karoo nodded and didn't say much in this regard.

He believed that Richard knew more than he did.

"Master Richard, the gray dwarves are already looking for alchemy apprentices to make alchemy bombs. Your Excellency Braun proposed to me the idea of ​​building an alchemy production workshop."

"We don't have the blueprints right now, but Lord Braun says he knows how to build without them."

Richard was a little interested.

"Do you agree?"

"It's up to you to decide,"

"Let him list the required resources and start construction tomorrow. We will experience an unprecedented war on the 15th of next month..."

Richard talked about the dungeon mission roughly.

"So, we need to prepare sufficient war materials in the fastest way during this time."

Karoo immediately sensed the urgency of the matter.

"My lord, to resist the enemy's attack, it is more important to build the city wall now."

"It is also necessary to build targeted fortifications."

"Especially the placement of the alchemy cannon."

"The alchemy artillery has a huge effect on the defenders of the city. If it is arranged properly, it can cause a major blow to the enemy."

"The artillery fire needs to be able to cover all sides of the territory, not just face one direction alone."

"Right now our defenses aren't even organized..."

Karu's words pointed directly at the biggest problem in Twilight City now - it has power but no defense system.

Treating the enemy like this now relies on the hard power of the army.

It is far from giving full play to the geographical advantages that should be possessed in the battle of defending the city.

In the final analysis, the core problem is that there is no city wall.

All other arrangements are difficult to be effective without the weakness of the city wall.

Richard also had a headache.

"I already know about this problem, and I will find a way to solve it."

Blueprints are needed to build the city walls, but he only found architectural blueprints for the Common city walls on the marketplace.

Even if the quantity is small, the price basically starts at 300,000 units of resources, which can be called sky-high.

He has spent all his savings in recruiting arms, and he doesn't have enough resources to buy them now, so he can only wait.

I didn't get too entangled in this, so I changed the question to discuss. "Is there any progress in the brewery and food workshop these two days?"

The two b-level heroes transformed by the certificate of heroes have been taking over the two buildings for a while, but he hasn't heard any good news yet.

Karoo shook his head with a wry smile.

"My lord, the time required for research and development will not be short, especially since this is their first independent research and development, I'm afraid they still need to wait patiently for a while."

Richard had an idea in his mind, and he was afraid that before the dungeon was opened, he would not be able to expect any benefits from these two projects.

Without thinking too much, he was already mentally prepared. This thing probably needs long-term investment to see the output.

"Go down and call Andrea."

"Yes, my lord."

Not long after Karu left, Andaier hurried into the hall.

"Good night, my lord."

After saluting, the girl looked at him with great interest.

"I heard that you brought back a beautiful centaur daughter. Where is that Miss Emerida?"

Richard couldn't laugh or cry.

"Amerida went upstairs to sleep."

The girl is more emotional.

"My lord, how do centaurs sleep? Do they sleep in beds too?"

"It's impossible for a centaur to sleep on a bed. I asked the maid to take a few blankets and put them on the ground..."

Richard waved his hands as he spoke, stopped the gossip girl, and talked about the business.

"You'll see for yourself later, and now, let's talk about fixing the Extraordinary Hunter."

Said with a thought.

The extraordinary hunter's huge body as high as 15 meters appeared directly in the hall.

Almost touched the soaring ceiling.

After a fierce battle with Emerald, the usage time of the Extraordinary Hunter has dropped to 20 minutes.

The broken armor became more and more serious.

If it is not repaired, Richard doubts whether he can continue to fight the second time.

If this big killer collapsed like this, the loss would be huge.

This is his strongest hole card at present, bar none.

After An Dai'er looked up a few times, her brows frowned.

"My lord, can't Mithril repair the Extraordinary Hunter?"

Richard shook his head.

"No, it can be fixed, but Extraordinary Hunters are eating Mithril too slowly."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of Mithril from the system space and placed it at the feet of the Extraordinary Hunter.

Under the girl's gaze, the Extraordinary Hunter burst into a faint light, covering the ore.

Then it began to devour the Mithril in the ore at an exceptionally slow speed.

It looks like a snail crawling, enough to make the most patient of people anxious.

Hina looked at the ore thoughtfully.

"There are a lot of impurities in the mithril ore. Perhaps it will be absorbed faster when refined into pure mithril. Sir Richard, let me try it."

Richard nodded.

"That's why I called you here."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and continued.

"How is the forging of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow?"

A little pride appeared on An Dai'er's face.

"Master Richard, the first dragon hunting crossbow will be forged tomorrow! You will never be disappointed."

Richard felt better again.

"Well done, Sheena, you never let me down."

"Speed ​​up the forging speed and try to forge more before August 15th."

"Twilight City, now lacks a powerful heavy crossbow."

The dragon hunting crossbow is a blueprint he got from the treasure house of the Scarlet Council, with a level of up to 4 stars.

Very powerful.

In his defense plan, the alchemy artillery with large caliber and large damage is responsible for clearing the ground enemies, and the dragon hunting crossbow is responsible for sniping and killing enemy heroes.

Both ways.

There are still more than 20 days, and he will increase the defense of Twilight City to the extreme.

At this time, he was already looking forward to the arrival of the copy.
