654 Chapter 430: The Change of the Dune Lord and the Charm of Twilight City [1/3]



Richard retracted his thoughts and looked around.

The new plane still needed a lot of investment to take shape, although it had great potential.

A diameter of 1,000 meters was still too small.

He momentarily pondered and looked at the plane power, whose figure was as blurry as a dense fog.

"Bruley, is there any way to make your body grow and expand rapidly?"

The bright eyes of the planar power dazzled even more.

"Lord, planar power or the power of laws are helpful to me…"

Richard's mouth twitched.

These two items were arduous to obtain.

"I'll think of a way to solve it."

Richard asked curiously.

"Can you leave the Eternal Land now?"

The planar power nodded and shook its head.

"I can only leave for a short while. I can't stay outside for too long."

The planar power hesitated.

"Lord, should we anchor the spatial coordinates of the Eternal Land to our current location?"

Richard raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Anchor coordinates? What do you mean?"

The planar power explained softly.

"Lord, the Eternal Land is outside the primary plane and in the endless void. You must anchor the coordinates and establish a permanent spatial rift to connect with the primary plane.

"Otherwise, I can only use the planar power to open the spatial rift… However, that would consume too much energy. One could use the energy stored in the Eternal Land once."

Richard understood.

"Then let's anchor it in Twilight City."

The planar force shook its head.

"No, Lord."

"Laws protect every city in the mortal plane. My current power could not break through the restrictions of the laws…"

It said that and looked at Richard pitifully as if it tried to say it wasn't, but reality forced it that way.

Richard looked at its pair of bright eyes and found it funny.

"I'll guide you later."

Richard had a goal–the land of quicksand when he thought about it...

There was nothing more suitable for anchor than the land of quicksand.

That was even safer than Twilight City. A top-tier boss protected that land and activated some of the god's ancient tree power.

Richard returned to the dark dungeon after a chat with the planar power for a while. He learned some information about how to develop the plane. 

The Dune Lord's gaze became supremely complicated when Richard and the crystal coffin reappeared without the planar power.

These were the wealth it had accumulated for a long time.

But now, it was all for the grace mainland overlord, and it had offered it himself.

At the same time, it heaved a sigh of relief.

It looked at the other party's expression. Richard was satisfied with his gains this time.

"Lord…"

Richard looked at the declining Dune Lord through the rusty cage and said slowly.

"Maddie, I will build a new city in Eternal Land. You can enter and help me manage it."

Richard looked at him meaningfully as he spoke.

"Before that, you can be a teacher in Twilight City to help the residents read."

'Help the residents read?'

The Dune Lord was stunned.

'Are you kidding me?'

He was the dignified Dune Lord, who had once ruled the Desert of Death and even touched the domain of the gods. Even though he had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, he still had extraordinary power.

Now, this damned grace mainland overlord wanted it to teach the lowly residents how to read?!

A sense of absurdity welled up in its heart.

It said in disbelief.

"Lord, you want me to teach the residents in your territory… Are they illiterate? Weren't they noble descendants?"

Richard said lightly.

"There are no nobles in Twilight City. The ones you have to teach are the hardworking residents. They are your students."

"The hardworking residents are my students?"

The Dune Lord didn't feel good.

It felt like dying when it thought of those filthy, sweaty, and disgusting poor people that sat before it, laughed with their yellowish-black teeth, and asked strange questions.

It was still unwilling to give up and asked tentatively.

"Lord, when I learn about several spells and top-tier skills, I might be able to teach those nobles… Well, those heroes who had a certain level of knowledge."

Richard waved his hand and refused decisively.

"No, Twilight City lacks top-notch talents like you to teach the ordinary residents. They need to broaden their horizons."

Open... Eyes?

The Dune Lord felt a wave of absurdity.

A group of residents who only knew how to do manual labor needed to broaden their horizons.

Did they know what was outside the desert of death? Do they know what magic is? Did they know how precious knowledge was?

Sorrow filled its heart, but all the rebuttals were suppressed when it saw those unquestionable eyes.

The image of the kobold god lying on the ground appeared in his mind… Rejection will bring death.

There was no longer any psychological burden when defeat once broke the bottom line of its heart.

It forcefully suppressed its emotions and lowered its head.

"I will obey your orders, Lord."

Richard's gaze was indifferent.

"Maddie, as long as you work hard, I won't mistreat you."

Richard waved his hand.

"Remove the shackles on its body and ask Karu to arrange a separate room for the teacher. Also, inform Gunter to protect Maddie during this period."

The guards immediately opened the cell and released the Dune Lord when Richard gave the order.
