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

Chapter 549 388: Imagining Alchemy Technology [3/3]

Richard did not disturb the god's ancient tree in its sleep when he left the underground world.

He brought all the sacred-blood dwarves out.

Their numbers added up to a squadron.

Several dwarves exist in this world, but the one in his hand might be the only one left with the bloodline of a god.

Richard had intentionally sent the sacred-blood dwarves to Fortress City to study alchemy with the gray-colored dwarves.

But before that, he had to activate the bloodline in their bodies.

However, the one million units of rare resources put him in a difficult position.

One could exchange one unit of rare resources for 500 units of ordinary resources in the [Trading Market].

That was not a small sum.

The production of ordinary resources was high. In addition, various mineral veins spawned weekly. Mining could make them accumulate a lot after some time, even if it were a low-level organization.

Rare resources were different. Not only did they respawn less, but they also had a low drop rate.

Richard listened to Karu's report in the Lord's mansion while he thought about where to earn the one million rare resources.

Richard collected his thoughts when Karu stopped.

"You can arrange those sacred-blood dwarves the usual way. Don't worry too much.

"After the bloodline in their bodies is activated, leave the useful ones behind. Send the useless ones back to the underground world."

Karu nodded.

He was uncertain about Richard's attitude towards them when he knew about the sacred-blood dwarves.

Richard seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at his side.

His eyes moved sparingly, then stared at the empty ground.

"Has there been any news from Xina?"

Butler Karu shook his head.

"Not yet. Maybe, Xina and the dark valkyrie had just arrived at the Krina tribe. "

Richard did not comment.

He seemed to miss the protection of Xina and the dark valkyrie. He could not get used to their sudden visit to the Krina tribe.

He hoped the two could reach a higher level the next time they returned.

Karu continued when Richard stopped asking questions.

"Lord, two hours ago, Vale sent a letter back…"

He took an opened letter from his pocket as he spoke and handed it over.

Karu's job as the administrative officer of Twilight City was to discuss the letter's content. It was usual for him to open it.

Richard didn't take it and waved his hand.

"Just get to the point."

"Yes!"

Butler Karu's tone became solemn.

"Most of the matters are about how to develop the Violet Merchant Association Chamber of Commerce. We've already replied to Vale.

"There's only one suggestion that requires your decision."

Richard became more alert when he saw Karu's solemn expression.

"What new ideas did Vale have?"

Butler Karu seriously said, "Vale suggested the special feature of Twilight City to not get astray in the desert to start trading…"

Richard needed some clarification.

"Wasn't this a plan from the start? Why did he have to tell me specifically?"

Karu continued.

"It's not just a usual trade. Vale suggested that Twilight City be made into the core city of the desert of death so that we could circulate all the goods in the desert of death through Twilight City.

"As for Twilight City, we can set up our transportation caravan and use our characteristic of not getting lost to help other forces transport their goods out of the desert of death.

"Other than that, we can also train specialized guides to guide the chambers of commerce of other forces.

"The desert of death has several forbidden areas. Those terrifying areas will render all maps and magic items useless. The fact that we will never get lost in the desert of death is an unparalleled advantage."

Richard's expression was sparingly subtle when he heard this.

"Wasn't this just logistics?

"Was Vale suggesting we build Twilight City into a port-type city?"
