Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

The old pastor wanted to cry but had no tears.

"This is the mayor's blueprint..."

Richard laughed loudly.

"I think the mayor will be very pleased that we killed the demon. He won't mind so much."

It would be weird if he didn't. That was the blueprint for a permanent building.

That old ghost who slammed the door, it must not carry the church's door back!!

"Old Pastor John, is there anything else?"

"I…"

The old pastor held his forehead helplessly. He just wanted to put on a show...

Forget it. It wasn't his blueprint anyway. What did it have to do with him? It wasn't him who took it.

Moreover, he couldn't beat Richard even if he wanted to. He had dozens of gargoyles...

But then again, if he could solve the threat of the demons with only three building blueprints, it would be a good deal.

"Lord Richard, rest early. I'm going back to White Tower Town. The demons escapees are dangerous and need to be dealt with in time."

He did not want to stay in this sad place anymore after he said that. He turned around and left with the two church knights.

After they left the village, the old pastor sighed in grief.

"My building blueprints!!"

"You two bastards, did the other party hear your demeaning words? I'll deduct your salary for a year later!!"

"Old Pastor John, you were the one who said it first..."

"You knew I made a mistake and didn't stop me. I'll dock it for two years!"

The two church knights were bereft of speech.

******

After Richard obtained three permanent blueprints, he was overjoyed.

This dungeon was about to collapse and return to the river of time. It would be a waste to keep these blueprints.

It was something from more than a thousand years ago. He could be considered to have saved the treasure.

If it weren't for the fact that he was running out of time, he would have gone to White Tower Town to have a friendly visit. What a pity.

Early the following morning, there wasn't much time left to leave the dungeon.

Under the watchful eyes of the residents of Blueleaf Village, Richard, who had rested well, chose to leave the dungeon.

In the next second, Richard's vision flashed, and he appeared in the dried-up river.

When he looked behind, the one-way portal had already shattered into pieces on the ground.

[Ding~ The Burning Village dungeon has ended. The time fragment has returned to the river of time. Your dungeon progress is 100%. You have eliminated the demons and undead that threaten White Tower Town. You have received an additional 10,000 experience points.]

[Ding~ Your level has increased. Your current level is 6.]

A tremendous power surged out of his body. It was as if he had been soaked in a hot spring in winter. Every cell in his body was cheering.

The energy in his body was increasing bit by bit... That feeling made him intoxicated.

Richard enjoyed it after a long time and was greatly moved.

Even if for a few and did not increase his strength, it was worth it.

He opened the attribute panel and glanced.

[Level: 6 (4,320/100,000)]

The experience required to level up had increased from 50,000 to 100,000. The difficulty of leveling had increased again.

Because he had not changed classes, he did not receive any attribute bonuses when he reached level 6.

"This dungeon directly contributed over 40,000 experience points... This is too awesome. As expected, leveling up still depends on the dungeon."

He drew back his attention and looked at the troop around him. Gunter's blood-colored bandages were extremely eye-catching.

He was in a great mood and waved his hand.

"Return to the territory!"

Because of the ten times time difference, three days had passed in the dungeon, but the sky outside was still not completely dark.

The time was still May 18.

There was no delay.

They rushed back to Twilight City.

When Karu saw Richard had returned, he was very surprised. The wrinkles on his face seemed to have come alive.

This morning, Richard had just told him that he might be gone for quite a while. How did he come back in half a day?

However, when he saw the gargoyle beside Richard, his smile brightened again.

This time, he had pronouncedly gained quite a lot from this trip.

Richard smiled as he briefly told Karu about what had happened in the dungeon. Then, he returned to the Lord's mansion in a good mood.

After he had dinner, he took a comfortable bath and washed off the fatigue on his body.

He began to take stock of the dungeon's gains.

The biggest reward this time was undoubtedly the A-rank hero -- Gunter Fresh Blood.

Not only could he cast powerful offensive magic, but he could also use corpses to recruit mummies. The value of this was simply inestimable.

Just by obtaining Gunter, he had earned a lot from this dungeon trip.

He now had two battle-type A-rank heroes in his hands. Gray would assist, and Gunter would attack. They were a perfect match.

The second reward -- two rare-level troop lairs and four teams of dark gargoyles.

At this stage, this reward was not inferior to an A-rank hero.

It was priceless.

After all, this was a lair that could continuously produce soldiers. Moreover, there were two of them.

With the addition of four teams of dark gargoyles, Twilight City's military strength had increased explosively.

That was a Rare 3-star level troop, which had the terrifying characteristic of being immune to magic.

Coupled with the Sand Transformation he gave, it was extremely domineering and powerful.

The third harvest was three permanent building blueprints -- residential houses, stables, and a winery.

To expand Twilight City, more houses had to be built. The residential blueprints could undoubtedly solve the current shortage of housing.

The role of the stables was not small either. In the future, they could buy or capture some desert horses and camels to raise. They could be used to replace manpower and speed up production efficiency.

There was no need to mention the winery. No matter what era wine was, it was a best-seller.

As long as it was good wine, there was no need to worry about sales.

However, the only pity was that wine needed to be brewed. Currently, Twilight City did not have it.

Apart from these three points, a large number of experience points were also the benefits of this dungeon.

Twilight City's main battle troops had all risen to level 7, and their strength had increased significantly.

How comfortable.

Richard's smile grew brighter. This dungeon trip had greatly increased his foundation.

Be it in territory construction or troop strength terms, he had gained a lot.

In his excitement, Richard washed up and went to bed early.

He woke up at 10 am, the following day.

After breakfast, he called Karu over and started to patrol the territory.

The other party reported the situation of the territory in detail.

"Lord Richard, the flowering period of the Russian olive forest has passed and the Russian olives started to grow. It is indeed amazing that it ripens once a month.

"At the beginning of next month, we will be able to harvest a large number of Russian olives. It is estimated that there will be around 70,000 to 80,000 units…

"The fire dragon rabbit is developing well. The desert gnome said that it could shed its fur for the first time at the end of the month.

"Those babies are growing rapidly. They could enter the heat period next month and undergo a second round of reproduction.

"If we maintain this momentum, I think we will not be far from the large-scale producer of the fire dragon rabbit fur.

"Due to the withering of the Russian olive flowers, the Desert Crown Bee can only fly further away to pick flowers. Perhaps, the amount of honey brewed next time will be reduced.

"The food workshop has been completed, but at the moment, it can only carry out some simple food production. There are no high-level chefs in the territory, so it's impossible to carry out food research..."

As Karu said this, the two arrived in front of the food workshop.

The three-story tall earthen and stone building looked quite imposing.

Richard frowned.

"Lack of talent..."

This problem gave him a headache.

Other people's territories had too many refugees, so it was troublesome.

His territory didn't have any refugees at all.

It had been more than half a month, and only a group of people like Adele had come.

In the vast desert, not only were resources scarce, but the population was also extremely scarce.

This was a problem that Richard had to face.

He thought for a moment and said slowly, "The food workshop can select talents from the residents. As long as the residents can make special foods, they can join. The market that we face is very broad. As long as the things are good, there will be no need to worry about sales.

"When the olives are ripe, we can still use them as raw materials for production.

"In addition, I will give you 10 units of desert honey to see if we can develop higher-level food..."

Karu nodded repeatedly.

"I will arrange it immediately..."

Richard looked at the empty food workshop at the door and sighed with emotion.

"Talent, it's time to solve this problem..."

Twilight City couldn't even satisfy the 500 people needed to level up to a level 2 city. This was too much of a pain in the ass.

Currently, the top 1,000 in the territory ranking list were already level 3 cities.

He was still a level 1 city... And his ranking had dropped below 50 to 60 million.

Compared to those lords who were rich in resources, Twilight City was obviously too weak.

A moment later, Karu seemed to remember something.

"Lord Richard, those refugees in the oasis might be able to make up for our lack of resources.

"Not only is there no lack of food in the oasis, but they also want the residents of Twilight City to seek refuge there.

"They might have a god-given item like the Russian olive forest!

"If we can occupy that oasis outside, not only will we could obtain a large number of people to fill the gaps, but we could also obtain a god-given item..."

Richard raised his eyebrows.

He had always kept this matter in mind, but because the oasis was a day and a night's journey away from Twilight City, he had never taken the time to do so.

Karu's words made him make a decision.

Not to mention anything else, it was worth a trip for Twilight City's urgently needed population.

The feeling of not being able to upgrade the population was too vexatious.
