Global Lord: Start As A Desert Lord

Select the moment to confirm the upgrade.

The system prompt sounds again.

"Ding~ Please clear the residential buildings."

Richard waved to the residents around him and asked them to call out all the people who were still in the house.

After a while, twenty or so people left the house, all looking at Richard in a daze, not understanding why they were all asked to leave.

But he didn't dare to ask any more questions, and obediently stood aside and waited for orders.

In just a few days, Richard has established authority in the territory.

After confirming that it is correct, choose to upgrade again.

There was no accident this time, and the resources on the property panel were instantly cleared.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, a yellow sand-like light rose from the earth, covering the residential buildings like a sandstorm.

The crowd's line of sight became hazy, and they could only faintly see changes happening inside.

The originally two-story building rose rumblingly, and a third floor appeared.

10 residential buildings were elevated at the same time, making the ground tremble.

This huge movement immediately aroused the amazement of the crowd.

"By gods..."

"This is the power that only a lord can have..."

"In Legendary, the gods bestowed each lord with incomparable abilities, and building houses quickly is one of them..."

"No matter how many times I see it, this scene is still shocking!"

"..."

Amid the exclamations one after another, those refugees were also attracted.

Each one has complicated expressions.

They have no home...

The light of the yellow sand lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually dissipating.

"Ding~ The residential building has been successfully upgraded."

With the upgrade of the system, a brand new house appeared in front of Richard.

The 10 residential buildings have expanded from two floors to three floors, and the occupied area has reached 70% of the 10*10m space.

From the outside, the rough outer wall has become much more delicate, and there is a prototype of a delicate building, but the roughness of the desert is still conspicuous.

Residential (occupies 1 space)

【Level】: Intermediate (Upgrade requires 5000 units of stone and 5000 units of wood. Note: The current level has been raised to the upper limit. After the territory is upgraded to a small town, it can be upgraded again.)

【Maximum capacity】: 30 people

[Features]: None

[Introduction]: Residential houses in Common are available for civilians to live in.

After seeing the properties, Richard was a little surprised.

The number of people each house can accommodate has been increased from 10 to 30 people.

It has tripled and directly solved the housing problem of the newly arrived refugees.

However, upgrading from Intermediate to Advanced requires more resources. The next time you upgrade 10 residential buildings, you need 100,000 units of resources.

The landlord's family has no surplus food.

At this moment, he finally felt the bitterness of other Lord players. ?

He still finds it difficult to exchange so much food for resources, let alone those lords who can only rely on resource points to accumulate resources.

Turning around to look at the refugees who cast envious and complicated eyes on the residents of Twilight City, after thinking about it, they stepped forward.

Richard, who was in focus, immediately attracted the attention of the crowd, but those refugees who caught his gaze immediately lowered their heads in fear.

Facing the ruler of this land, they felt tremendous pressure.

A word from the other party can determine their life or death.

That is the powerlessness of fate being controlled by others.

Richard didn't speak, just stared at them indifferently.

From the discomfort at the beginning, hundreds of refugees gradually panicked, and even developed infinite fear in the end.

Could it be that the lord wants to expel them directly?

As for the worst, they didn't dare to think about it.

"New residents, I am Lord of Twilight, Richard."

Richard's sudden opening made the already extremely nervous crowd raise their hearts to their throats.

Immediately raised his ears and listened attentively to his next words.

"I understand your anxiety and feeling of confusion and helplessness about the future."

"No one can remain indifferent after losing their home, family and friends."

"After all, that was our sustenance, our hope."

"We have all experienced the pain of broken hopes."

The eyes of the crowd looking at Richard quietly got closer.

Richard couldn't stop talking.

"But are we going to sink because of it, give up because of it, lose hope because of it?"

The tone suddenly became high-pitched.

"No!"

"no way!!"

"These sufferings are the thorny road that each of us must walk!"

"No matter how painful it is, we must look forward!"

"It's got to be what our loved ones, our families want"

"If you were in danger, wouldn't you want your lover and family to sink forever?"

Richard's firm tone is full of inspiring power and provocative power under the special background at this moment.

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger!"

"As long as you step over the thorns, the front is the light that pierces the darkness."

"As long as you have hope in your heart, you will always see a bright starry sky when you look up!!"

Seeing that tall and straight figure, the crowd was completely silent at this moment.

The inner emotions began to tumbling, tumbling, surging waves...

The impassioned words injected them with a strong energy, and the depression and bewilderment were quickly fading at this moment.

Aboriginal people who have not been baptized by the information explosion have almost zero resistance to these inspirational words.

Even if modern people have experienced countless baptisms of information, certain words can still make people feel excited.

Because we are not old yet.

The blood was still hot.

Andaier, who was carrying a long-handled copper hammer, stepped out of the lord's mansion at some point.

He stared at the boy's back in a daze, with a complicated expression on his face.

Mouth in a low voice.

"As long as you have hope in your heart, you will always see a bright starry sky when you look up."

"What doesn't kill us makes us stronger."

The dim eyes gradually have light at this moment...

Richard's short pause sounded again.

"My friends, this is Twilight City, a city built in the desert."

"Although the territory has just started construction, it is full of vitality, hope and future."

"No matter who you were before, no matter what jobs you were engaged in before, no matter how old you are, Twilight City will accept you."

"If you don't want to spend another few months, risking the risk of encountering sandstorms and crossing the dead and dry desert...then, you are welcome to join the Twilight City."

"Every one of you is needed here, and a safe haven can be provided for you."

"At the same time, I promise you that I will do my best to help you find your lost partners in the sandstorm."

"Of course, if you don't want to, I will never force you. I will provide you with food and water so that you can continue to cross this desert of death."

Speaking of this, Richard paused and glanced around the crowd.

"My people, you are welcome."

After speaking, he bowed slightly to everyone.

Then without saying a word, he turned and entered the lord's mansion.

When passing by An Dai'er, he didn't take a second look at her.

Wait until Richard's figure disappears.

The surrounding residents felt that the flames in their chests seemed to be ignited at this moment.

"The lord actually bowed to us? My gods, am I dazzled?"

"I feel like I'm committing a crime by not doing something for the territory..."

"Yeah, why don't we stay in Twilight City? Why do we have to cross the desert that doesn't know how many threats it contains? I don't want to encounter Death again!"

"But isn't this a desert? There will definitely be sandstorms in the future..."

"What do you know, have you seen the strength shown by the lord just now? Those strong houses are strong enough to resist the threat of the storm! And the territory will inevitably expand in the future. With the strength of the lord, he will definitely protect us!"

"Mom, the lord is so handsome, I must marry such a handsome hero when I grow up."

"Hahaha, good."

"Mom, I want too."

"Go away, you are a man, sober up!"

"What should we do? Stay here or go to the Templar Empire?"

"Go and discuss with Miss Andair..."

Hearing the discussion of the surrounding crowd, those old residents were a little upset, and began to intervene actively.

A young man said to several people around him.

"You people really don't know the blessings in the blessings. It is an honor for you to be a member of Twilight City!"

A middle-aged man was not convinced, "How did you say that?!"

The young man sneered: "Hehe, what do you think is the most important thing in a territory?"

The middle-aged man hesitated, "This... prosperous and powerful?"

The young man dismissed it, "Does the prosperous and powerful territory have anything to do with us?"

"The lords and those nobles are the ones who prosper. We are just slaves oppressed by them. Have you ever been oppressed by those lords?"

Another person interjected, "Then what are you talking about!!"

The young man showed a bit of pride, "The most important thing in a territory is... the lord!"

The middle-aged man was thoughtful, but still asked, "Why do you say that?"

The young man's voice was high-pitched, "Master Karoo said that the lord is the soul of a territory, how a territory is, whether it is brutal, crazy, or belligerent, depends entirely on the lord.

"And a benevolent lord with outstanding ability, broad-mindedness, and potential, even if he is weak now, isn't he ten thousand times stronger than those lords who control prosperous territories but treat civilians like pigs and dogs?"

The others immediately fell into deep thought when they heard the words.

"It makes sense for you to say that...but how can there be such a lord..."

The middle-aged man shut up halfway through his speech, and several people subconsciously turned their heads to look at the place where Richard disappeared.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

These words rang in my ears again.

The flame in his chest grew stronger.

Their blood is not cold either.
