223 Chapter 190: Seriously Injured Xina
After the two settled the deal for Desert Crown Honey and yellow sand robes.
Richard received the most abundant resource ever -- a total of 50,000 units of gems.
Forty thousand of these units were from the sale of 200 units of Desert Crown Honey.
Ten thousand units of gems were the deposit for ten yellow sand robes.
The Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce controlled several gemstone mines, so they had always liked to use gemstones to trade.
Richard was also quite helpless about this. So he could only ask to use other rare resources to trade next time. Onyx naturally did not have any objections to this.
With 50,000 units of gems in his bag, the data on his attribute panel instantly soared.
He was in a good mood.
However, he still had a few precious blueprints that required other rare resources to build. So, he could only postpone it for now.
There was also a pity that when Onyx left the last time, he asked the other party to bring some blueprints to trade.
Although Onyx also brought a lot of architectural blueprints as he had hoped this time.
But because it was too ordinary, he could buy it at will on the forum. So he didn't.
The first transaction between the two parties came to an end. And both Richard and Onyx were satisfied with it.
The Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce caravan stopped for a while.
First, it was a tiring journey. And Onyx wasn't in a hurry to return. Second, he had to wait for ten yellow sand robes to finish.
Third, Twilight City laws punished Jonah Thorin, hung him up, and had to wait three days before they could put him down.
The following day, July 11. There was good news.
They finished building the tailor's shop.
Richard was in high spirits and went to check it out.
It was an indispensable source of income for Twilight City.
They built the tailor's shop not far from the blacksmith's shop and occupied four spaces.
At this moment, a large group of aunties proudly looked at the two-story building in front of them.
It was their confidence.
These few days, after they told everyone how important Richard was to the tailor shop, they heaped a sigh of relief.
Whether at home or outside, the respect they received had pronouncedly increased.
They even coaxed Lucy to the heavens, who brought them this good luck.
When they saw Richard arrive, a large group of people quickly bowed excitedly.
"Good day, Lord..."
"My Lord..."
Greetings of respect and salute continued…
The commotion over here attracted many people. And when they saw this scene, they all revealed envious gazes.
How could a group of menopausal aunties keep their mouths shut?
Not to mention such a proud matter, they naturally had to add fuel to the fire.
Therefore, less than a day later, the entire territory knew the tailor shop had made a substantial contribution. And that the Lord had specially built a tailor shop for them.
This naturally attracted the envy of many people. They also wanted to receive this kind of treatment.
Richard also found it funny when he saw this. It seemed that no matter which world it was, a group of aunties gathered together would be a gathering place for gossip.
The morning sun aunties were a legendary organization.
After Richard waved them off, he looked at Lucy. Residents surrounded her in the center with flushed faces and with admiration.
"Lucy, you've done well in the past few days.
"Especially the sharing session the day before yesterday. I heard from others that you won the applause of the entire hall.
"That's right. You should demonstrate your excellence to everyone. I've always had great confidence in you.
"From now on, I'll leave the tailor shop to you. If you have any ideas, do boldly. Don't feel pressured."
After he said that, she looked at Lucy's mother.
"You help Lucy with her work so she can study in peace.
"If you encounter problems that Karu can't solve, you can come to me directly."
"Yes, my Lord!" Lucy's mother smiled enormously brightly and looked at the aunties around her with a rather proud expression.
Instantly, this attracted lemon spirits.
Richard nodded and looked at the shy girl.
"Lucy, do you have anything to say?"
The girl hesitated for a moment before she whispered under Richard's encouraging gaze.
"Lord Richard, can we grow the materials to make the yellow sand robe ourselves?"
Other than the rabbit hair of the fire dragon rabbit, the yellow sand robe also had twelve kinds of desert plants to add to it.
However, those plants were not rare. They were not everywhere in the desert but were easy to find.
Moreover, the current production was slim. Was it too much of a worry to plant?
When Lucy looked at Richard's bewilderment, she hurriedly explained.
"Lord Richard, the plants we got outside did not grow very well because of water and fertilizer scarcity. The quality is very different.
"If we need to mass produce in the future, there will inevitably be problems with the quality.
"If we can plant it ourselves, we can control the quality and produce better yellow sand robes in the future."
This eventually gratified Richard. As expected, the hero unit was different from the ordinary residents.
"I will let Karu do this. You can participate in it and make your request. The agriculture department will find a way to solve it."
When Lucy heard such a straightforward answer, she immediately became happy.
"Thank you for your trust, Lord."
Richard nodded and looked at the two-story high shop.
"Is there anyone inside?"
"No, they're all waiting for you."
After he got the response, he asked the people around him to spread out a little.
He opened his attribute panel and directly chose to upgrade it.
Twenty minutes later.
The two-story building turned into a three-story building. From the outside, it looked magnificent, not inferior to a blacksmith's shop.
[Tailor's Shop (4 spaces)]
[Level: Advanced (Level requires 5000 gold coins, 5000 units of wood, 5000 units of stone)]
[Characteristics: Production efficiency of clothing increased by 30%.]
[Research and Development: You can develop clothing with special attributes. Currently, you can choose the free Research and Development mode (allow the hero to develop independently) and focus on the Research and Development mode (research and development for a specific size and style)
[Resident Hero: Lucy]
[Hero Additional Characteristics: Increase the success rate of Research and development by 15%. Increase the attributes of the items produced by your research by 30%.]
[Capacity: Minimum 2 people, maximum 30 people.]
[Description: The advanced tailor shop already has a certain level of extraordinary power.]
This attribute was not bad.
It was still satisfactory to Richard, although Lucy's bonus to the tailor shop was not comparable with Adele's.
After all, she was a hero grown up on her own. Moreover, Lucy was still underage, so there was still room for her to grow up.
Just as the group of aunties excitedly wanted to go in and looked at the upgraded blacksmith shop...
"Lord!!"
Suddenly, an urgent call interrupted Richard's thoughts.
When he looked at the person who came, a young lad anxiously looked at him.
He frowned slightly.
"What happened?"
The young lad hurriedly said, "Lady Xina is heavily injured. Lord Karu has asked me to report to you."
Richard's expression changed.
He immediately turned around and left.
When he returned from the dungeon, Xina had already left the territory for some time.
These days, he had sent people to look for her, but there was no sign of her.
She had finally returned, but the word 'heavily injured' made him frown.
A large group of people surrounded the front on the other side of the territory.
"The Lord is here. Move aside!!"
When the surrounding residents heard this, they immediately retreated to both sides.
Richard stepped forward and immediately saw a round-faced woman in her forties that held gauze to clean up Xina's wounds while a little girl stirred the porcelain bowl in her hand with a wooden spoon.
When he looked at the half-unconscious Xina, his eyes instantly turned cold.
Scars of all sizes covered Xina's body, and the leather armor on her body was almost in a bad shape.
Fresh blood dripped down through the cracks in her leather wallet, which made one's heart go numb.
Needless to say, she must have encountered an extremely horrifying battle.
After the little girl melted the Desert Crown Honey in the bowl, she half-squatted on the ground and slowly fed Xina to drink it.
She could still swallow it, although she was in a semi-coma.
Her breath instantly recovered a little after she swallowed a bowl of high-quality honey.
He was no longer as if he could die at any time.
The aunt cleaned the wound and wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve. She let out a long breath.
"Lord, Lady Xina's injuries have temporarily stabilized."
Richard also let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at his side.
"Karu, what happened?"
Karu said with a solemn expression.
"Lady Xina was already in a coma when the search and rescue team found her..."
Richard did not say anything else, but his eyes became increasingly colder.
After the girl fed Xina three bowls of Desert Crown Honey in a row.
The girl's breathing gradually improved, and vast energy supported her. Xina subconsciously snorted and slowly opened her eyes.
The first thing she saw was Richard's worried gaze. And her eyes immediately lit up.
She opened her mouth slightly and spoke in a weak voice.
"Lord Richard, I've found the location of the wyverns...
"The dungeon race...
"Various dungeon race troops are building fortresses at the entrance to the underground world...
"They're exploring the surroundings...
"Twilight City has become their target...
"They have prodigious troops of wyverns..."
Her voice was intermittent, and it took her a great deal of effort to speak clearly.
Richard saw that the girl who used to be so valiant was now in such a miserable state that she almost lost her life.
Her eyes were as cold as ice.
He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.
"Where are they?"
"To the south... Ten hours away... A rocky area... It's very hidden... Magic covered its aura..."
Richard could see Xina's aura was unstable again, so he immediately said.
"I understand. You don't have to worry about this. Rest well. I'll handle it personally."
When Xina heard this, her tensed heart suddenly relaxed. And she fell into a deep sleep again.
Richard immediately ordered his men to carry Xina to the Lord's mansion.
When the surrounding residents gradually dispersed, Karu immediately rushed forward and said in a deep voice.
"Lord Richard, the dungeon race is a great danger. We need to clear this danger away.
"The enemy has already regarded us as their target. I suggest sending troops to attack!
"Although Twilight City now has a powerful guardian force like the god's ancient tree, we have not completed the construction of the Hurricane Arrow Tower, and the dragon-hunting crossbow is far from completion.
"There are too few ways for us to deal with the wyverns.
"Drawing the war to the enemy's land can guarantee the safety of Twilight City to the greatest extent.
"Please make a decision!"
