A little fellow even rode on his neck and happily waved her hands.
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It took him a lot of effort to escape.
He couldn’t help but have a headache eventually when he looked at the scene.
The introduction was appropriate. These little guys were intelligent. Only the intelligence of a child… It was too much.
!!
Richard selected ten ice spirits to lead and be responsible for the other companions.
Although they couldn’t understand the baby’s babbling, the direct transmission of mental energy allowed these little guys to understand the meaning.
The chaotic situation was slightly more orderly with the addition of the captain.
It added a riveting scene to the city after the curious snow elves left.
At that moment, the system notification rang again.
[Ding~ You have changed the living environment of Twilight City. It has enormously increased the comfort level. Popular sentiment of Twilight City +1. The current popular is 94.]
Richard was overjoyed.
Did it increase popular sentiment again? 94 points?
He doesn’t know the highest popular sentiment in other players’ territories. But from the difficulty increase, 94 points were the best.
According to the previous rules, it would activate a new attribute when it reached 95 points. Richard wondered what kind of bonus it would give.
He looked forward to it.
The only pity was that after popular sentiment reached 90 points, it became increasingly difficult to increase it.
He would have to put in a massive effort to increase it to 95 points.
The ultimate goal–100 points–was even more arduous…
He shook his head and didn’t mind about it and looked at the third characteristic of the ice spirit statue.
[Ice Shield.]
[It can form a shield to protect the entire territory. Duration:1 hour. Cooldown Time: 24 hours. One can insert magic power into the statue to extend the shield’s duration.]
It was the uttermost feature of this 5-stars treasure.
It was where its value lay.
Richard’s face grew serious.
He turned and looked at the dark valkyrie who silently followed him.
“Go outside the city and wait for my orders.”
“Yes, Lord!”
Richard’s body began to emit a yellow light after the dark valkyrie left which enveloped the ice spirit statue.
In that instant.
The statue emitted cold energy, like a storm.
That energy had already surged to the surrounding city walls before he could even blink.
‘Crack!’
A crisp sound rang out.
A layer of translucent ice rapidly grew with the city walls as the starting point.
The naked eye could not keep up with the speed at which the hard ice formed.
In a few breaths, the ice shield protected Twilight City. It was an upside-down-shaped bowl on the ground.
From the inside, the sun shone on the half-transparent ice. It reflected all kinds of strange and beautiful colors.
A defense condensed from a 5-stars treasure-frozen shield.
Richard asked with interest.
He wondered how strong his ultimate defense was.
He immediately ordered the dark valkyrie outside the city to use her strongest attack to attack the ice shield.
The next second after he gave the order.
The dazzling saber radiance split the sky and earth.
‘Crack!’
The moment the heavy shield and the sharp spear collided.
The blade light disappeared, and the ice shield shattered into large pieces. Dense cracks appeared on the outermost area of the ice shield. It was like it would in the next second.
Richard lowered his head to look at the shield. It should have lasted an hour, but after this attack, it reduced the time by 20 minutes.
The statue of the ice spirit dimmed at a rate visible to the naked eye.
A 5-stars treasure could mostly block three attacks from the other party…
He was in a strange mood. He didn’t know if it was because the dark valkyrie was too strong or the shield was weak.
With a thought.
He began to pour his mana into the statue.
The initially dim light became dazzling again not long after.
It quickly repaired the shattered ice in the sky after it received the support of magic power.
His heart finally settled down when Richard noticed this.
He could support the shield longer since he had enough mana.
Richard ordered the soldiers behind the shield to attack after a general idea of its strength.
What excited him was that the opponent had a shield with enormous defense. It would not block the attack if an enemy attacked from the inside.
It would even cause frost damage to the arrows.
He was supremely pleased with this.
As expected of a 5-stars treasure, it was extraordinary.

Rebecca rested in Twilight City for two days. She proposed to return home on the morning of 25th September.
There was no need to stay longer since she had achieved her goal.
Next, the key was the fire dragon rabbit fur to its fullest.
Richard answered with a smile.
He also proposed he would send the other party on their way, and at the same time, he would go to Solan City to settle the matters regarding the Twilight City Chamber of Commerce.
Delight engulfed Rebecca’s heart when she heard Richard would travel with them.
“Lord Richard, this is the best news I’ve heard today.”
The journey was long, and half a month was too long. It was a good thing to have someone to talk to.
Klei and the guards beside him were all old acquaintances, but they did not say a word for a long time on the road, which bored them.
Richard didn’t waste any more time and immediately gathered his troops.
Rebecca had already planned to go to Solan City before reaching Twilight City, but her arrival had delayed her plans.
She would have company if she were to go now. Rebecca had promised to gift Richard a manor so she could hand it over.
Richard would not be polite to this wealthy lady who had the status of the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke.
Richard only planned to bring the air force this time.
It was time time-consuming to travel on the ground.
