Chapter 43: The First Hero of the City of Twilight
"Ding~ You found a tomahawk hut from which you can recruit the Axe of the Dead, or you can choose to destroy it to get the core of the lair."
Before Richard could make his choice, a prompt appeared in the black gold system.
"Tomahawk Cabin (Elite 3 Stars) - Consume 10 Elite Class Lairs to upgrade its level to a Rare 3 Star."
"Hahaha, there will be a rare-level class lair soon."
I'm in a good mood.
"Go back and upgrade the lair before recruiting, now the recruited class is still a rare level, and the number will not be refreshed."
"Destroy."
The moment the choice was made, the Tomahawk hut creaked, and then quickly collapsed as if it had been weathered for tens of thousands of years.
After a dozen breaths, it completely dissolved into slag fragments.
At this moment, a miniature tomahawk wooden house the size of a fist appeared among the debris everywhere.
Richard stepped forward and picked it up and took a look at the attributes.
There are still 10 Axes of the Dead to recruit, but they need to be rebuilt.
After putting the class nest into the system space, I am satisfied.
But as he was about to return to the territory, Yu Guang suddenly noticed that something seemed to be pressing under the sawdust next to him.
As soon as his eyes lit up, he immediately walked over to remove the sawdust.
Pulled out what's underneath.
It was a withered yellow map made of sheepskin, and it looked full of history.
"Ding~ You got a 2-star treasure map."
!
Richard was overjoyed.
Exploded treasures?
Good guys, it's really a great time today.
In the past few days, dozens of field class gathering points have been wiped out, and it is the first time that field class nests and explosive things have been discovered.
This explosion rate is really outrageously low.
2-Star Treasure Map......
Richard looked at the yellowed treasure map with interest.
Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the center of the treasure map was where the treasure was located.
And there is a clear sign around - an extinct volcano.
"Although the Death Desert is large, there should not be many places with volcanoes...... It shouldn't be hard to find it when you go back and ask Ornik, the merchant hero of the Luanwei Flower Chamber of Commerce.
"I just don't know what treasures are in this 2-star treasure map?"
"My requirements are not high, it is enough to give ten or eight rare level class nests, and if you can't do it, you can ...... a dragon egg."
After putting away the treasure map in a good mood.
Richard glanced at his own troops, calculating the loss.
The expedition team was attacked, killing a total of 6 residents.
In terms of classes, two mummies that followed the Explorer team were killed, and five more mummies were sacrificed during the battle, for a total of 7 killed.
Scorpion warriors killed 1 and 13 remained.
There were no casualties among the cursed pharaohs.
The total number of troops in the city of Dusk has dropped quite a bit.
Bandage mummy 35, scorpion warrior 13, cursed pharaoh 10.
But it all makes sense.
The harvest of the Dead's Axe Clan's nest alone is ten times as much.
Not to mention that there's a treasure map waiting to be drawn.
Comfortable.
After making sure there were no other items under the ruins, Richard returned to the territory with the harvest.
The three-hour return journey encountered a number of field strongholds, but under the attack of several powerful troops, the battle was quickly over.
By the time we returned to the City of Dusk, it was already completely dark.
In the territory, oil lamps made of animal fat emit a dim glow.
Richard was somewhat surprised to find that all the residents in the territory were in the open space at this time, as if waiting for something, and did not return to the house.
"Your Excellency is back!"
With a shout of surprise, everyone immediately looked at Richard who slowly stepped into the territory.
The mummies that returned with the corpses of the residents behind him touched everyone strongly.
Your Excellency, you really brought back the corpses of the dead inhabitants......
He, did not deceive them!!
At this moment, there is a special emotion brewing in everyone's hearts.
As soon as Richard stepped into the territory, the crowd parted left and right, making way for them.
His gaze moved with his steps.
There are also many sharp-eyed residents who see that the number of troops behind Richard has decreased.
"Your lord's army ......," a faint voice sounded.
After being reminded, the crowd turned their attention to the class.
"I counted this morning, and now it's almost a squad missing......"
"Those armies died for us......"
"Lord Lord......"
These whispered conversations made the waves in many people's hearts more and more intense.
Is it really worth sacrificing such a powerful army in order to bring back the corpses of a few civilians?
Even the relatives and friends of the slain residents could not tell if they were not here at this moment.
In a complicated atmosphere, Richard walked to the front of the lord's mansion with slightly heavy steps.
Stand on top of the stairs and face the residents.
The dim oil lamps on both sides of the mansion set off his figure in a particularly majestic and mysterious way.
The dark gaze scanned the crowd.
Speak slowly.
"I brought our hero back......"
As the words fell, the mummy placed the bodies of the inhabitants on the ground one by one.
At this moment, even Kalu, who had gone through vicissitudes, couldn't help but feel that his throat was blocked.
This sentence seems to be light, but how many lords can do it to this extent?
His eyes were filled with indescribable respect.
"Tomorrow, I will hold a funeral for our heroes, who will not be forgotten by the City of Twilight."
After speaking, he took a deep look at the crowd and waved his hand.
"Let's disperse."
Then without further ado, he turned and returned to the lord's mansion.
But no one left the huge crowd.
It wasn't until long after Richard's back had disappeared that it was still quiet outside the lord's mansion.
"Long live your lord!!"
I don't know who opened the mouth, and everyone roared hoarsely at this moment.
"Long live your lord!"
It seems that at this moment, they want to vent all their inner emotions.
Annele, who was carrying a huge copper hammer, was also silent in the crowd.
The moment she saw that Richard had actually brought back the bodies of the other residents.
The emotions in my heart are already a little out of control.
And Richard's sentence that I brought our hero back, but never mentioned what happened to me today and what cost me.
There was a heat wave surging in his chest.
Isn't it worth it for such a lord to stay here?
Richard, who entered the lord's mansion, suddenly paused, because at this moment, the sound of system lifting suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Ding~ Your words and deeds have won the respect of all the residents, and you have successfully comprehended a special skill - leadership."
"Ding~ Your words and deeds and the charisma of keeping your promises have impressed Adele Thorin, and she has decided to stay in the City of Twilight and become your subordinate.
The Hero Recruitment quest is complete, and you gain a Hero Unit. ”
"Ding~ You get a hero unit with a profession of high-level blacksmith, the research and development function of the blacksmith shop has been opened, after upgrading to the high-level blacksmith shop, you can study and improve the attack power of the class in the blacksmith shop."
