184 Chapter 164: Pick Treasures, Harvest Moments

"Knowles, take me there."

The dwarf nodded and mumbled as it walked.

"Although the warehouse has consumed a lot of precious treasures because of our plan in the past few years, there are still good things. But you surely don't know what's good for you!"

"The things placed outside aren't that good. The ores thrown in the corner are the ultimate treasures. You can use some of the things inside in making divine artifacts!"

Knowles said mysteriously.

"The ones in my warehouse are genuine treasures. Richard, one day, Master Knowles will take you there to open your eyes...

"You'll know that dwarves are the richest!"

Richard was amused.

This guy was ultimately a top-notch treasure.

"Of course, if you can let me choose ten treasures..."

Knowles looked at Richard warily.

"Even the greedy goblins don't dare to be as beautiful as you think! That's my treasure!

"I've already given you my big treasure. Don't you dare think about me again!"

As it spoke, its thoughts jumped again.

"In this battle, I've discovered that colossal treasures still have many shortcomings. This time, I want to create an even more powerful puppet!!

"If those guys dare to chase us next time... I promise to crush their corpses into pieces!!

"Master Knowles's wisdom is not something those lowly beings can imagine..."

Richard's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Knowles, the enemies badly destroyed the extraordinary hunter. What materials can we use to restore it?"

Knowles said arrogantly.

"In the past, I had to repair the mechanical puppet personally when it was damaged. It was too troublesome.

"To solve this problem, I tried countless times when I created the extraordinary hunter."

"In the end, I created a unique new special structure -- Advanced Restoration.

"With this feature, as long as the extraordinary hunter is not completely damaged, it can automatically absorb materials to recover..."

After saying this, it paused for a moment. When it saw Richard listening attentively, it continued with satisfaction.

"There are two types of materials to repair -- one is rare resources.

"Gemstones, mercury, crystals, sulfur. These resources contain special resources that can repair the rudimentary damage of an extraordinary hunter.

"And to repair the hollow damage, such as the alchemy magic formation, you need to use an exceedingly unique material -- mithril."

It sighed with emotion as it spoke.

"Mithril is a specialty of the underground world. Other than the underground world, it's hard to find it in other regions.

"Because this material has strapping characteristics, one can use this in making divine artifacts. It has always been regarded as a supreme treasure by the dungeon race and is arduous to obtain.

"If you want to repair the extraordinary hunter, you get enough mithril first."

Richard took these words at heart and asked at the same time.

"Knowles, in your warehouse..."

Knowles didn't wait for him to finish speaking and immediately looked at him vigilantly.

"Don't even think about it! I have all used up my mithril. Not a drop left!!"

Richard laughed.

"No, I want to say, do you still have the blueprint for the extraordinary hunter in your warehouse?"

"This mechanical puppet is ultimately the best piece of art I have ever seen.

"My territory happens to have a blacksmith who is indeed talented.

"I want to let her admire your masterpiece. As long as I can learn a thing or two from it, it might be of great help to my territory."

These words made Knowles smile.

It raised its head and said.

"Human boy, although you flatter Master Knowles, I consider it telling the truth. I admire your honesty."

As it spoke, it took out a thick stack of blueprints from its pocket.

It was clear there was a treasure hidden in the clothes inside.

It handed it directly to Richard.

"This is the blueprint for the extraordinary hunter.

"Take it.

"Next time, Master Knowles will create an even more powerful one to open your eyes..."

Even the extraordinary hunter had given it to him, so a blueprint was nothing to him.

Richard reached out to take it and immediately opened the attribute panel.

[Extraordinary Hunter's Blueprint (Permanent)]

[Level: Special]

[Characteristics: Able to create level 20 extraordinary hunter-mechanical puppet.]

[Requirements: 100,000 units for gemstones, crystals, mercury, and sulfur, 10,000 units for mithril. Requires a master-level mechanical puppet maker.]

[Description: A blueprint designed by a genius, but because of this, it is exceedingly arduous to create.]

After Richard took a few glances, he suddenly lost the idea of creating it.

That series of materials could kill him.

It was impossible to take it out now.

Not to mention the need for a master-level mechanical puppet maker. This was the first time he had heard of such a thing.

He glanced at the smug dwarf.

It would be great if he could kidnap it...

Putting away the blueprint, he was in a good mood.

Although he couldn't make it in the meantime, he still had a thought. When Twilight City expands in a few years, he might be able to take it out and use it.

While the two conversed, they arrived at a heavily guarded area.

Soldiers above level 15 were everywhere.

They had arrived.

Knowles brought Richard to the front of a huge metal door in high spirits. After it conversed with the guard alone for a moment, the guard immediately came forward and bowed respectfully.

"Welcome, Elder Richard.

"The President has already instructed that you can freely take five treasures from the warehouse.

"Please, follow me."

Knowles said with envy and pretended to be disdainful.

"Go, human boy. Master Knowles is waiting for you here. Remember, take the ores from the corner..."

Richard smiled and didn't mind this guy being crazy about ores.

He entered the treasure warehouse with anticipation after the guard opened the door.

There was a corridor inside., He arrived at the second heavily guarded door after a hundred meters.

After the guard confirmed his identity, he handed him a crystal.

"Elder Richard, this crystal can open the magic shield protecting the treasure.

"Whatever treasure you choose, touch the crystal to the magic shield.

"After five times, the crystal will turn into ashes.

"Remember not to touch the magic shield directly. This will trigger a powerful guard spell..."

Richard took it and nodded with a smile. This indicated he understood.

The guard did not say much and immediately used a complicated spell to open the giant stone door without a key.

Richard entered the ultimate treasure after the warehouse door opened.

Strange, this was his first impression.

The makers of the shelves in the treasure warehouse carved them out of the mountain rocks.

Row after row, like the bookshelves in the library.

The difference was that they were not made of wood but were carved out of rock.

It connected from the underground to the top, which was more than 20 meters high.

For obvious reasons, this treasure warehouse was deliberately dug out of the mountain when left behind.

The magic inscriptions on the surrounding walls were densely packed, even more, exaggerated than the secret chamber where Jones had swapped blood with the Third Princess.

Just looking at the terrifying magic fluctuations made Richard shudder.

No one knew how powerful it was to destroy these inscriptions.

He retracted his gaze and turned his attention to the rock storage shelves.

To his slight surprise, most of the storage shelves were empty.

There was no picture of precious treasures everywhere as he had imagined.

Jones was pronouncedly not being modest when he said that the Scarlet Council had emptied most of the treasury over the years in preparation for their plan.

He walked along the tall rock storage room and entered.

After a few dozen meters, the treasures began to pile up.

Most of the treasures were resources, gems, crystals, and other rare resources. They had piled up quite a bit.

Each storage stored 5000 units. It was obvious they had been arranged.

The storage compartments were also set up with the magic formations, just like the guards had said.

One could only open them with crystals. There was no possibility of them being taken away secretly.

Richard did not care about these resources. He looked at the scattered strategic equipment.

His eyes immediately lit up.

The sublimely sparse strategic equipment outside was now at his disposal. It was very comfortable.

He began to check the attributes of each of them.

[Chopping Knife]

[Level: 1-star]

[Characteristics: Increases the attack power of cavalry by 20%.]

[Description: A hero who is suitable to lead cavalry.]

******

[Heroic Longsword].

[Level: 2-stars]

[Characteristics: Can raise the morale of a troop to the peak and will not be affected by the opponent's magic and drop.]

******

[White Dragon's Tooth (Material)]

[Level: 3-stars]

[Characteristics: Can be used to forge high-level equipment.]

******

Although there were several empty shelves, the Scarlet Council had a large business. And there were still countless strategic treasures. It did not take long for him to inspect more than 50 items.

However, most of them were 1-star or 2-stars. And their attributes were also very ordinary, so he was not very interested.

He only had five chances to choose, so he could not waste them on such ordinary equipment.

Half an hour later, he found the first piece of equipment that made his eyes light up.

[Sword of Oath (Short, Secondary)]

[Level: 3-stars treasure ]

[Characteristics: Life connection. The wielder can connect the lives of two squadrons of troops, sharing 50% of each other's damage. Limited range: within a 300-meter radius of the Sword of Oath, only limited to the same troops.]

[Description: A strategic treasure with good attributes.]

This was the most special treasure he had ever seen.

Although it did not have an attribute bonus, this additional attribute was simply insane in his eyes.

It could allow two squadrons to share 50% of the damage.

This meant that as long as they did not wipe out the entire troop in one go, there would be a troop that was almost unkillable.

The more they thought about it, the more they realized how extraordinary it was.

The effect would be even amplitude if the characteristic is applied to high-level troops with high HP and defense.

In other words, one could use this in the later stages.

Moreover, it was a secondary weapon, so they did not have to worry about not being able to use it when they obtained sturdier equipment in the future.

Weapons were divided into primary and secondary weapons. The primary weapons could increase the attributes of the troop, while the secondary weapons often had some special characteristics.

The Sword of Oath was very obvious in this regard.

Moreover, the effect would be even more essential if this characteristic was paired with Sand Transformation.

When Richard thought about how the enemy could not kill the Twilight City troops in the future, he was in a great mood.

He noted down the location and did not hurry to keep it. What if he could encounter a few more divine weapons later? After he confirmed it, he would keep it together.

He continued to explore while he felt good.

These treasures filled his expectations.
