Richard and Karu discussed when to explore the oasis that houses hundreds of refugees.
Richard handed him the three building blueprints he had obtained from the dungeon afterward.
His tone was solemn.
“Karu, the scale of the territory is gradually expanding. Immediately select talents from the residents and form a planning department to study the future building plans of Twilight City.
“Divide the buildings into categories. Plan the buildings according to their functions and positions. At the same time, reserve space for future development.
“This matter needs to be done immediately.
“Take these few building blueprints and make a good plan to see where it is suitable to be built.
“We can delay the stables and winery, but we must build the residential buildings immediately.”
With the development of the territory, Richard already considered the establishment of an administrative department.
A few scattered people could not always manage Twilight City.
There had to be a functional department.
Karu took the blueprint and noticed Richard’s serious attitude, so he nodded firmly.
“Yes, Lord! I will bring out the bylaws of the territory plan as soon as possible for you to decide.”
Richard nodded slightly.
Karu was very reliable in all aspects and deeply trusted by him.
Unfortunately, he was a little older. If he were twenty years younger, he might be able to help him more.
While the two were discussing, Adele, who carried a long-handled copper hammer on her back, rushed over excitedly from not far away.
“Good day, my Lord Richard.”
Richard turned around and looked at the other party’s happy expression. He could not help but smile.
“There’s no need to be so polite, Adele. What’s the matter?”
This was the treasure of Twilight City. He knew better than anyone how much the battle strength of the bandaged mummy had increased after being reinforced.
Adele immediately said, “Lord, I want to continue researching how to increase the attack power of the troop…”
As she said this, she looked a little excited.
“When I was researching the attack characteristics of the bandaged mummy, I had already touched the threshold of a special-class blacksmith…”
Richard was interested.
He was naturally pleased that his subordinate had volunteered to work.
“We now have the Bandaged Mummy, the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior, the Axe of the Dead, and the Dark Gargoyle. These five types of soldiers are suitable for your research. Which troop lair do you want to study?”
The Cursed Pharaoh was a magic soldier. The blacksmith shop could not fortify it. And if the bandaged mummy is reinforced again, it would be an elite attack.
Adele’s eyes were burning.
“The bandaged mummy’s reinforcement can be transplanted on the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior…”
Richard readily agreed.
“Then, let’s research the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior.”
The reinforcement of the bandaged mummy was evident to everyone. If the scorpion warrior could be reinforced by one round, wouldn’t the battle strength of this already tyrannical soldier be off the charts?
Richard opened the blacksmith shop and added the option of developing the Poisonous Scorpion Warrior.
“Scorpion warrior basic attack, estimated development time: 10 days, estimated resources required: 20,000 gold coins, 20,000 wood, 30,000 units of iron ore, success rate: 70%.”
Compared to the development of the bandaged mummy, the scorpion warrior consumed a lot more resources, and the time increased to 10 days.
Fortunately, he did not need to invest in it all at once. Although he still had 100,000 units of resources, this could not be spent.
The success rate was only 70%, and the success rate of Adele’s hero feature increased by 30% which reached 100%. There was no need to worry about it.
Richard was about to see how Adele usually did her research after he left the 30,000 units of resources.
Suddenly, a blacksmith apprentice reported that a resident had asked to see him.
When Richard heard this, Richard could only lament over his hard work and couldn’t spare any time.
He let Adele busy herself and left the blacksmith shop with Karu.
The first thing he saw when he walked out of the door was the fat aunt whose face was like a red apple cut in half.
“Good day, Lord Richard…”
Richard immediately recognized this resident who was in charge of managing the Russian olive forest.
That face of the other party truly left a deep impression on him.
“Good day, Aunt Mary. Is there a problem with the Russian olive forest?”
The fat aunt shook her head repeatedly.
“No problem. We’re in the Russian olive forest all day long. We definitely won’t let anything happen to the olives…”
Richard was a little curious. “Oh? Then, what matter do you request me to see ?”
As the ruler of Twilight City, he had a high status. Very few residents would directly request to see him. Usually, Karu could handle it if there was a problem.
The fat aunt used her unique tone to explain everything very quickly.
“You’ve always said poisonous wasps should not be provoked.But our hearts ache when we see them eating bees.
“Those are the bees that brewed the Desert Crown Honey. How can we let those wasps spoil it?!!
“We just want to find the lair of those wasps and burn them down!
“At first, there was no progress until yesterday, and they truly found a way for us…”
Richard’s eyes immediately lit up.
The poisonous wasps often came to hunt desert bees, which made him very angry.
However, those guys were level 5, and their potential reached Rare 3-stars.
Not only were they powerful, but they also flew extremely fast, then disappeared after every hunt.
This made him quite annoyed.
He was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. He did not have time to figure out how to deal with this thing so he was delayed.
He did not expect that the fat aunt and the others had figured out a way.
He quickly asked.
“What method can we use to find the lairs of the poisonous wasps?”
When the fat aunt saw Richard’s surprise, she was also full of smiles.
“The wasps’ food is meat, and they hunt bees for food.
“We wondered if we could use other meat to tempt those wasps…
“After repeated attempts, we found that the wasps were indeed interested in other meat. and They liked the dried meat of the fire dragon rabbit you hunted the most.
“We applied for two units of rabbit’s jerky from Lord Karu, and then soaked the jerkyin a plant that could emit a special smell.
“During the experiment yesterday, the poisonous wasp did not reject the smell of the plant wasp and took away the soaked jerky…
“We immediately followed it.
“But the distance was too far and we couldn’t find it even after an hour. At that time, the sky was dark and we couldn’t see the environment clearly, so we had to give up…”
As she said this, her regretful face became excited again.
“But this also proves that this method is effective!”
Richard was a little surprised.
“What kind of plant can leave such a long scent? And you can track each other based on the scent?”
What kind of nose was this? A human-shaped hound?
The fat aunt said proudly, “Lord, one of the residents who manage the Russian olive forest has a very special nose. As long as he smells the scent of that plant, he will sneeze uncomfortably.
“We’ve tested it many times, so there’s perfectly no mistake.”
Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Wasn’t this just being allergic to those scents?
Could this work?
However, if he could find the lair of those poisonous wasps and take it for himself… This would be a huge benefit.
That was a rare-level troop… And there might be thousands of them.
Richard’s interest was piqued by the thought of thousands of rare-level poisonous wasps that surrounded the enemy.
