Global Lord: Start As A Desert Lord

blacksmith shop.

huh~

The apprentice with a sweat towel around his neck pulled the bellows while wiping away the hot sweat.

A large amount of air was blown into the furnace, making the cyan fire even higher.

A young man with only one arm stared at the ore in the fire.

After the ore was burning red, he immediately took it out with iron tongs and placed it on the forging table beside him.

There is a slightly sunken opening in the central area of ​​the forging table, just enough to fasten the ore.

After the young man settled down, he immediately picked up the hammer that was leaning against the side of the console.

The muscles in the arms bulged like copper water, and the huge force made the hammer pass over the top of the head.

At this moment, the hammer smashed down hard with the help of gravity.

bang~

Mars radiates~

Although there is only one arm, the operation does not show the slightest bit of astringency, and it is shockingly proficient.

Hammer after hammer, the fist-sized ore keeps shrinking.

After the temperature of the ore dropped, he put it into the furnace and burned it again.

That young man seemed like a mechanical puppet that didn't know how to get tired, and this process was repeated again and again.

The eyes of the apprentice pulling the bellows were full of admiration.

I don't know how many times, the ore has shrunk to half of its original size, but he hasn't stopped yet.

"Sam, the lord said that the whole city will be on holiday for two days. You haven't rested during this time. Go back and spend time with Shanna."

Hearing the sound, the young man who was staring at the fire turned his head slightly.

Seeing the person coming, he immediately showed a respectful look.

"Master Andair, good night."

After saluting, he shook his head and rejected the other party's proposal.

"Now we are only one step away from success..."

While talking, seeing the ore turned red again, he immediately took it out.

He weighed it with iron tongs, felt the weight in his hand, and felt relieved immediately.

Without hesitation, he threw the ore directly into the stone bucket filled with Black liquid next to the furnace.

Thorn~

There was a piercing sound, and the Black liquid seemed to be boiling, and began to bubbling.

The color changed from black to red like magma.

Seeing this, Sam's eyes were full of excitement, and it was the last step.

After taking a few deep breaths to calm down, he turned his head and motioned for the scorpion Warrior to come closer.

Then picked up a special tool, and carefully poured the liquid from the stone bucket onto the scorpion tail of the poisonous scorpion Warrior.

After pouring the fiery red liquid, it was immediately swallowed by the scorpion tail.

After the temperature dropped, a layer of black hard armor was condensed on it.

When the entire scorpion tail was covered by hard armor, a special force escaped from it, and the flow of magic power around it accelerated a bit.

Strips of red traces like spider webs emerged from the hard armor, as if outlined with a brush.

Just from the outside, one can feel that Scorpion Tail has become extremely extraordinary at this moment.

Seeing this, Sam suddenly turned his head to look at Andaier, his voice choked with excitement.

"My lord Andair, I have lived up to my lord's expectations..."

He has a respect that outsiders can't imagine for the great existence that gave him everything.

Research success? ! !

Andrea smiled in surprise.

Sir Richard will be very happy~

"Let's go, come with me to see Lord Richard, the Lord will entrust you with more important tasks."

After Sam calmed down, he glanced at his sloppy attire with some embarrassment.

"Master An Daier, should I change my clothes first..."

Forging iron by the fire, the body has already been soaked.

"Go."

"yes."

After a while, Sam, who had changed into clean clothes, followed Andaier respectfully, not daring to say a word.

In Richard's eyes, Adele is a soft, cute little girl who looks like a research fanatic.

But in the blacksmith shop, the other party is a queen-like figure who holds the power of life and death, and can decide the fate of an apprentice with a single word.

And with her superb forging skills and Richard's unconditional trust, her prestige in the eyes of the apprentices is enough to be called.

Even looking at the entire Twilight City, there are not many people who can act presumptuously in front of her.

Approaching the lord's mansion, Sam immediately became nervous.

For him and all the residents of Twilight City, this mansion is full of sacredness.

Because the great existence they respect the most lives here.

On weekdays, almost no one is qualified to enter the lord's mansion.

Therefore, even if you can go in and deliver food and rice, you can brag about it with other people.

As he stepped through the gate, the mummy guard looked at him with empty eyes.

That seeping soul fire seems to freeze everything.

Sam's heart trembled, he didn't dare to look around, he lowered his head and immediately followed Andair closely.

Not long after, the two stepped across the front yard and entered the hall.

Andrea said hello first.

"Good night, Lord Richard."

Sam breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar figure, and immediately stepped forward.

"Good night, my lord..."

Richard, who had just heard the system prompt that the scorpion Warrior Intermediate technology research was successful, saw the two enter the room with a smile on his face.

"No need to be polite, just sit down."

When the two of them sat down, they glanced at Sam appreciatively.

"You have worked hard these past few days, Sam. I have also seen your hard work. You have done a good job."

Sam got up agitated, one arm resting on his chest again.

"My lord, all this is your gift!"

Richard smiled and waved his hand for him to continue sitting down.

"Continue to work hard in the future, I have high hopes for you."

"I will live up to your trust!"

Richard nodded and didn't dwell on the subject.

Scorpion Warrior's Intermediate technology is worth celebrating, but this time the dungeon has gained too much, and he has already developed a strong immunity to these more common developments.

He looked at the girl beside him and entered the topic of today.

"Andair, you can postpone the forging of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow."

"Now, I entrust you with an important task."

As he spoke, he put 14 psionic crystals on the table.

"These treasures are the treasures I got in the dark plane, and their function is to strengthen the characteristics of the troops..."

I described the functions and limitations of this 5-star treasure in detail, and finally said.

"This task is of great importance. It can improve the foundation of Twilight City. I need you to devote yourself to it."

Andrea's eyes lit up immediately.

For this girl, nothing is as interesting as research and forging, which is her favorite.

"My lord, I will never let you down!"

The tone was clean and neat, without any delay.

This is the confidence of an A-level hero, as well as the arrogance and confidence of a super blacksmith. "This is the unit you want to study and strengthen—the stone statue of the dead."

Richard said and gestured to the stone statue of the dead that he had left behind in the corner.

"This is a new unit of Twilight City, with strong combat effectiveness and potential."

Andaier's gaze was like a child seeing a favorite toy, holding the psionic crystal and looking at the stone statue of the dead.

"My lord, I will come up with the results as soon as possible..."

"You don't need to be so anxious, it's not too late to rest for a few days."

Andaier hummed a few times, but obviously didn't listen.

Richard didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and told him a few more words. Seeing that the other party's heart was already flying, he stopped talking nonsense.

With a wave of his hand, the impatient girl left with 5 spiritual gems.

He put away the remaining 9 pieces first.

Now the most important thing is to find out how much the psychic gem can improve the troops, so we can arrange it well.

After An Daier left, Richard looked at Sam who was sitting in front of him.

He still admired this blacksmith who he bestowed the power of a B-level hero on.

Not to mention that the other party has given the research results and proved himself.

Losing an arm alone became a blacksmith, and even protected a blind girl across the desert before being brought back to Twilight.

This experience is enough to make people look high.

He admires those who strive for self-improvement and do not succumb to fate.

After thinking for a while, under Sam's nervous gaze, he took out the strengthening crystal.

This is a treasure exchanged with gold points, which can strengthen a hero's skills to super A grade.

An Daier is already an A-level hero, and has unlimited potential in the future. If she continues to advance, she has a high probability of raising her skills to super A-level.

It is obviously not cost-effective to use it on the other party.

Sam is undoubtedly the right candidate.

Maybe there are people who have more potential than the other party, but who makes him appreciate the other party very much.

As the sole ruler of this land, he can easily change the fate of any resident as long as he wants.

Even if the opponent has a broken arm, so what?

While thinking, he opened the opponent's attribute panel.

sam

[Introduction]: A blacksmith with a broken arm, his eyes are full of determination, no one knows what he will achieve in the future.

Although Sam's overall attributes are not as good as Aandale, the pearl of Twilight City, he can still be regarded as Excellent.

Richard didn't hesitate after making a decision, and picked up an enhanced crystal.

Look directly at each other.

"Sam, now I will grant you new powers."

"Remember, when you master more powerful power, you also have to take on more responsibilities. Twilight City needs your contribution."

Sam got up immediately, and looked at Richard anxiously and excitedly.

Wanted to say something, but Richard didn't give him the chance.

"Ding~Do you want to strengthen Sam's skills—natural intelligence (B grade)?"

"yes."

The moment a choice is made.

The enhanced crystal in his hand turned into a stream of pure energy and poured into Sam's body.

In an instant, Sam trembled all over, only feeling as if thousands of great rivers were rushing in his body.

In the majestic surge of energy.

The strength deep in the blood was rapidly strengthened.

Richard observed carefully, except for a little pain on Sam's face, there was nothing unusual about it.

The entire strengthening process lasted about twenty minutes before it ended.

Because it is a hero of life, there is no overwhelming momentum that makes people breathless. It just fluctuated slightly for a while and then returned to normal.

When Sam's frown relaxed, a reminder sounded in Richard's ear.

"Ding~ The enhancement is complete, the natural intelligence (B-level) has been promoted to the peerless intelligence (Super A-level)"

Peerless intelligence, when conducting research, the research success rate is increased by 50%, and the research time is reduced by 50%, and the original equipment can be improved and optimized by 30%, and the material consumption can be reduced by 30%.

The smile on Richard's face immediately brightened.

Transcendent A Grade skills are still fierce.

An Daier, an A-level hero and super-class blacksmith, only increased her research success rate by 60% after a series of attribute bonuses.

Sam has done 50% of one skill now!

This level of skill really doesn't make sense.

Moreover, the feature of reducing the research time by 50% was added, which perfectly realized his original idea of ​​cultivating a hero who specializes in researching technology.

At this moment, Sam finally came back to his senses, feeling the new power in his body, his eyes became extremely fanatical.

He fell to his knees suddenly, put his head on the ground, and saluted with the most devout gesture.

"My lord, thank you for your gift. Sam swears with his soul that he will be loyal to you forever and ever. From now on, your will is the direction I am going..."

Richard waited for the other party to calm down before letting him stand up.

Looking at this young man who was too excited to control himself, he spoke earnestly.

"Sam, you have to remember that the power given to you is to enable you to protect your lover and the City of Twilight."

"You are a member of Twilight City, and everything you do is for yourself and for your lover."

"Try to do your best and don't let me down."

After finishing speaking, he arranged the task directly without waiting for his response.

"After returning, immediately study the Advanced attack of the Scorpion Warrior."

"I need to see results within half a month!"

Sam, who was still in agitation, was decisive.

"As you wish!"

Richard nodded, and after exhorting a few more words, he let the other party leave.

Adele researched strengthening the stone statue of the dead, and Sam researched Advanced technology, and the two were advancing hand in hand.

If Twilight City wants to upgrade from a small town to a mid-city, the first requirement is an Advanced technology.

This requirement may not seem high, but due to the need to prepare for the dungeon, all resources have not been invested in it, resulting in Twilight City being stuck by this technology for more than two months.

And if the upgrade continues like this, the promotion of Twilight City will definitely require more advanced technology.

If you want to develop in the future, technology is an indispensable item.

But when he thinks that he has two top scientific researchers, Richard feels comfortable.

Although the current progress may be slower than other players.

But with Andrea and Sam, catching up from behind is not a problem at all.

The enhancement of science and technology to arms is visible to the naked eye. The previous bandage mummies and poisonous scorpion Warriors can be described as soaring after each technological improvement.

So even if there is no reason to upgrade the territory, he will invest a lot of resources in it.

The same applies to a technologically powerful country in this world.

In the future, the army level of Twilight City will be higher and higher.

At a certain level, it must be impossible to be promoted as quickly as now.

At that time, upgrading technology will undoubtedly become another option to strengthen the combat effectiveness of arms.

Layout in advance, plan ahead, there will be no mistakes.
