Chapter 284: Chapter 243: Breaking the Seal
It was only in the afternoon that Richard returned to Twilight City with the reluctant Emily.
The god’s ancient tree continued to stay here and fish.
With the land of quicksand, this automatic fishing device was a super killer weapon.
He was also glad to see that the land of quicksand was north of Twilight City. It formed a protective barrier between the agricultural area and the desert outside.
In the future, if any enemy wanted to attack Twilight City from the north, they would encounter the land of quicksand first.
Richard was a little disappointed.
What a pity. “If I could obtain a few more quicksand lands, it would be great to surround Twilight City. By then, whoever comes would be the first to die…”
Richard let Emily go and have fun on her own after they returned to the territory and saw the busy residents.
He went straight to the blacksmith shop.
“Lord…”
A few hurried apprentices saluted him with their hands on their chests.
“Where is Adele?” he asked.
“Miss Adele is in the backyard.”
Richard waved his hand. He told the apprentices to go on with their businesses. He then strode through the hall and into the backyard.
The extraordinary hunter with a broken appearance appeared in his sight.
However, he immediately noticed that this mechanical marionette was different.
Compared to a few days ago, the current extraordinary hunter had been tremendously repaired and no longer looked like it could collapse at any time.
Richard glanced at the attribute panel after he opened it. His mood immediately perked.
Extraordinary hunter, damage-60%, usable for 4 hours.
As expected of Adele, how many days had it been? She had reduced the damage of the transcendent hunter by 10%. And she restored its usage time to four hours.
The current extraordinary hunters were enough to support a high-intensity war.
“Lord Richard…” She said.
At this moment, a clear voice came from behind.
He turned around and saw the slender figure of Adele.
Dirt covered her clothes, and it was distinct she had just left the fire.
The young girls approached Richard. Her eyes smiled.
“Lord Richard, I’ve used gemstones, crystals, and mithril to increase extraordinary Hunter’s speed recovery…”
I can repair it in two weeks, at most, if we have sufficient resources.
Richard’s heart ached as she said that.
“There’s less than half of the mithril you gave me…”
Richard laughed.
“You’ve done a great job and helped me a lot.”
“If we want to repair the extraordinary hunter, the resources we need can be said to be heavenly. It’s difficult to gather them in a short time. So there’s no need to worry about it.”
“Although mithril is precious, don’t be too calculative. Use it as you wish. If you don’t use the resources, do you want to leave them in the warehouse to rot?”
Adele smiled happily. Richard’s constant support moved her heart.
It was such a blessing she could work for such a lord.
Richard asked. It was like he remembered something.
“Is there any apprentice in the blacksmith shop that is worth training?
“You’re too busy right now and can’t care about anything else. I plan to train a new hero to share some of your tasks and specialize in research on technology…”
The speed of technological advancement in Twilight City was sluggish.
In the past three months, they had strengthened the bandaged mummy, scorpion warrior, and undead soldiers only.
The rest of the troops were still in a blank state.
After they had reinforced them, the troops’ battle power would increase by at least 20%. The difference was distinct.
However, Adele was too busy to leave.
He could only think of another way.
Moreover, there was a restriction in upgrading the territory from a small city to a middle city–it had to have advanced technology.
It would be a loss to invest resources into technology, whether on Planet Blue or in this world.
When Adele heard this, she smiled bitterly.
“My Lord, these apprentices are all very diligent and motivated, but in terms of talent… I really can’t take it out.”
Richard had a headache.
The residents of Twilight City were almost all refugees who had fled from other places.
The quality was uneven. And it was arduous to pick a few good seedlings from them.
“Pay more attention. We’re in need of talent now.
“Especially the seminar. You must make good use of it.
“If there are no talents, then we will take the initiative to cultivate…”
Just as the two of them chatted happily, an apprentice suddenly knocked on the door and reported.
“My Lord, Master Brown is outside requesting to see you outside.”
“Brown?”
‘Did this gray-colored alchemist make any discoveries recently?’
Richard nodded and stopped his conversation with Adele. He asked the apprentice to lead the way and left the blacksmith shop.
As one of the core buildings, he had issued a ban a few days ago–outsiders were not allowed to enter the blacksmith shop without permission.
He will deal with those who disobey military orders.
Of course, he also banned the tailor shop.
Richard didn’t care about the other departments that didn’t do well.
In Twilight City, if one wanted to win respect, one could only rely on their results. Nothing else was substantial.
He had deliberately created an atmosphere of competition. A stagnant pool of water could raise good fish.
And from the performance these days, it had indeed affected everyone.
The other departments that made no progress now tried their best to make some achievements.
All wanted to make their department the third military-restricted area of Twilight City.
As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw the level 12 gray-colored dwarf alchemist with a naturally deformed arm as short as a bean sprout-brown.
“Good day, Lord.”
The moment Brown saw Richard, it subconsciously wanted to kneel and kowtow but held back.
It saluted with an intact arm on its chest.
Richard nodded.
After these few days, it had progressed and no longer knelt on the ground.
Brown’s humble attitude annoyed Richard when they talked about business.
He just wanted a reliable assistant. He did not wish for a timid slave who wouldn’t raise its head and only knew how to answer.
“Brown, what’s the matter?”
The gray-colored dwarf alchemist immediately responded.
“Lord, I have found a way to remove the seal in Lady Xina’s body. But…”
Brown stopped halfway through his words and hesitated.
Richard had been pleasantly surprised, but he couldn’t help but frown at the sight.
“Don’t worry, just say what you have to say.”
Brown was still a little afraid, but under Richard’s intense gaze, the gray-colored dwarf alchemist braced itself and said, ”
“It’s Miss Emily… The blood in her body contains a vast amount of power, and can withstand the seal in Lady Xina’s body.”
Brown was also quite conflicted when it confirmed the matter in the past two days.
It was afraid that Richard would kill him in a fit of rage.
After all, she called Richard “Father…” It was also curious about the centaur’s mother.
Richard wasn’t as angry as Brown had expected. Instead, he was pleasantly surprised.
“Are you sure Emily can do it?”
Brown heaved a sigh of relief and immediately responded.
Yes, the energy in Miss Emily’s blood is supremely enormous. No one is more suitable than her.
Richard understood.
After all, Emily was once a demigod. She was still a demigod. Although her power had disappeared along with the destruction of the land of the broken laws.
However, she still had the foundation of a demigod, and the blood flowing in her body was still full of power.
“How much blood does it take to break the seal? Will it affect her?”
Brown patted its chest and said confidently.
“Lord, although I didn’t develop the alchemy blood exchange technique, I’ve already thoroughly understood it to refute the other party.
“Even if it can’t break the seal, we won’t let Emily and Lady Xina get hurt.”
Richard relaxed.
“Do you need any other ingredients other than the blood of Emily?”
“I need 10000 units of mithril to inscribe an alchemy magic array.”
Brown further explained, “This process requires an abundance of magic power at all times…”
Richard nodded. His heart beat with excitement.
He had long looked forward to Xina, the strapping warrior that gods cursed to break free from her shackles.
He just doesn’t know if the other party could break through the limits of an A-rank hero and become an even more powerful existence after the process breaks the seal.

Author’s Note: I have time to write today. But I’m quite stuck. I’ve been writing for four to five hours. I’ve repeatedly written and deleted.
My head is empty. I don’t know what to write.
Let’s ask if there’s anything that everyone wants to see but I failed to include.
Or a plot that anyone found interesting…
If there is, I welcome my friends to suggest it and inspire me.
I felt like my brain wasn’t enough.
I want to crowdsource to write a novel…
