When Richard returned to the City of Twilight, it was already night.

A clear moon shone from the sky, and the moonlight was like water, enveloping the entire territory.

It looks like it has a special layer of beauty.

In the square in front of the lord's mansion, the residents are actively participating in literacy classes after dinner and learning new knowledge.

Everyone starts with literacy, and literacy classes don't teach much advanced knowledge.

"Glorious Age" is no more modern than the information explosion, knowledge is a rare item monopolized by the aristocracy, how can lowly civilians on weekdays be eligible to contact it?

Only the great city of twilight, the great lords, can be so merciful and generous.

At this time, it can be displayed in front of them so bluntly, and let them learn.

The inhabitants who realized the preciousness of knowledge were hungry and thirsty.

Without experiencing this special background of the times, it is impossible to imagine the level of the thirst for knowledge of ordinary residents.

Knowledge, in this world represents power, represents power, social status, class...... Represents everything.

Even if one day, they are forced to leave the city of twilight, it will be enough to rely on their strong specialty of literacy to find a job that does not worry about food and clothing.

Not to mention, the lord also promised that those who excel in learning will have the opportunity to be focused on training.

These residents, who couldn't find a way to learn before, got this opportunity, and the efforts they showed made Richard quite emotional.

And this policy has far exceeded his imagination for the cohesion of the people.

Some of these inhabitants really worshipped him as a god, and almost all of them had to build him a church.

Looking at the crowded square, Richard quietly dismissed the troops, not disturbing the residents who were attending classes.

After quietly taking Emilyada back to the lord's mansion, under the surprised eyes of the maid, two people were arranged to take care of the boss, who had become a little girl of five or six years old.

After a hearty dinner, Emilya's eyes were almost open, and she was so sleepy that she yawned.

But the little centaur still held Richard's hand and was reluctant to let go, and said nervously.

"Father, you're not going to leave me, are you?"

Richard watched as he crouched on the carpet, looking at him with a face full of dependence.

There is something subtle in the heart.

How does it feel so amazing to be a dad?

Looking at a figure who trusts himself unreservedly, looking at himself with a blank eye, it feels really different.

Touched the other person's head.

"Emilyida, go to sleep obediently~ I'll take you to pick honey tomorrow morning."

The little man's eyes lit up immediately, and he pursed his lips, as if he had tasted it before reminiscing.

"Father, is that what you ate today, the kind that is very sweet and sweet?"

Richard.

"Of course."

With the expectation of picking honey tomorrow, Emilyada reluctantly went upstairs to rest accompanied by the maid.

Kalu, who was summoned next to him, saw this scene, but he didn't feel as strong a sense of disobedience as other heroes who had seen Emilyda as powerful as the god of war.

Although Emilyada is only fifteen or sixteen years old in appearance.

However, there are still many doubts in my heart.

"Lord Richard, how did Miss Emilyada become your daughter?"

Richard shrugged his shoulders and leaned back comfortably in his fluffy chair as he recounted the day's encounter.

Finally.

"I guess the collapse of the Land of Rules not only caused the loss of Emilyda's strength, but also caused her soul to be damaged to a certain extent, and she lost most of her memories."

"Therefore, my memory and thinking level is only the state of a five- or six-year-old child."

Karui nodded thoughtfully.

After thinking for a moment, he hesitated.

"My lord, I suggest that if you have a way to get Miss Emilyada back to her memory, there is no need to hurry."

"How?"

"We can let Miss Emilyada live in the City of Dusk for a while and build a relationship ......"

Richard shook his head.

"Whether it can recover or not is still two words, it's useless to think about this, judging from Emilyda's current state, I'm afraid it's difficult."

If Emilyada never recovers her previous memories, that's not a bad thing for her.

At the very least, the other party can start over.

In the Broken Rules, he went from demigod power to level 15, and was also driven by a level 12 half-fish lord.

Thinking about this long period spanning hundreds of thousands of years is never a happy experience.

Now that the land of broken rules has collapsed, it is not a bad thing that the other party can return to a carefree childhood.

How many people dream of going back to their childhood......

Karui nodded, not saying much on that.

He believed that Richard was more numerous than he was.

"Lord Richard, the Grey Dwarves are already looking for an alchemy apprentice to make an alchemy bomb, and Lord Brown has proposed to me the idea of building an alchemy production workshop."

"We don't have drawings at the moment, but Lord Brown says he knows how to build and doesn't need drawings."

Richard was intrigued.

"Do you agree?"

"It's up to you to decide,"

"Let him make a list of the resources he needs, and start construction tomorrow, and we will experience an unprecedented war on the 15th of next month......"

Richard said as he gave a rough overview of the quest.

"Therefore, we need to prepare sufficient war materials in the fastest way during this time."

Karui immediately sensed the urgency of the matter.

"My lord, to resist the enemy's attack, it is more urgent to build the city wall now."

"We also need to build targeted fortifications."

"Especially the settlement of alchemy artillery."

"Alchemy artillery has a huge effect on the defending side, and if it is well arranged, it can inflict a major blow on the enemy."

"Artillery fire needs to be able to cover all sides of the territory, not face only one direction."

"Right now our defenses aren't even systematic......"

Karui's words point to the biggest problem in the city of Dusk right now - the lack of power but no defenses.

Now the enemy is treated like this, relying on the hard power of the army.

It is far from giving full play to the geographical advantages that should be possessed in the defense of the city.

At the end of the day, the core problem is that there are no walls.

All other arrangements are difficult to achieve without the weakness of the city walls.

Richard also had some headaches.

"I already know this problem, and I will find a way to solve it."

Drawings were required to build a wall, but he only found architectural drawings of a normal wall in the Market.

Even if the quantity is small, the price basically starts at 300,000 units of resources, which can be called sky-high.

He had already spent all his savings on recruiting troops, and he didn't have enough resources to buy them now, so he had to wait a little longer.

I didn't dwell too much on this, so I changed the issue to discuss.

"Has there been any progress in the brewery and food workshop in the past two days?"

The two B-rank heroes who had been transformed by the Hero's Proof had taken over the two buildings for a while, but he hadn't heard any good news yet.

Karui smiled wryly and shook his head.

"My lord, the time required for research and development will not be short, especially since this is their first time independent research and development, I am afraid that they will need to wait patiently for a while."

Richard had a plan in his heart, but he was afraid that until the copy was opened, he couldn't count on what benefits these two projects could bring.

didn't think much about it, he had already been mentally prepared, I am afraid that this thing will require long-term investment to see the output.

"Go down and call Adele."

"Yes, sir."

Not long after Karui left, Adele hurried into the hall.

"Good night, my lord."

After the salute, the girl looked at him with great interest.

"I heard you've brought back a beautiful centaur daughter, but where's Miss Emilyda?"

Richard couldn't laugh or cry.

"Emilyada went upstairs to sleep."

The girl's mood is higher.

"My lord, how do centaurs sleep? Do they sleep in beds too? ”

"Centaurs naturally can't sleep in a bed, so I asked the maid to take a few blankets and put them on the ground......"

Richard said and waved his hand, stopped the gossipy girl, and got down to business.

"You'll find out for yourself later, and now, let's talk about repairing the Transcendental Hunter."

As he spoke, his heart moved.

The Transcendent Hunter's massive 15-meter-tall body appeared directly in the hall.

I almost touched the towering ceiling.

After a fierce battle with Emilyida, the use time of the Extraordinary Hunter at this time has dropped to 20 minutes.

The armor is getting more and more broken.

If it wasn't repaired, Richard was skeptical that he would be able to continue the second battle.

If this weapon of destruction collapses like this, the loss will be great.

This is his strongest hole card at the moment, and there is no one.

Adele looked up a few times before her brow furrowed.

"My lord, can't Mithril repair the Transcendent Hunter either?"

Richard shook his head.

"No, it can be repaired, but the Transcendent Hunter is too slow to devour Mithril."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of Mithril from the system space and placed it at the feet of the Transcendent Hunter.

Under the girl's gaze, the transcendent hunter bloomed with a faint light that shrouded the ore.

It then began to devour the Mithril in the ore at an unusually slow rate.

It looks like a snail crawling, enough to make the most patient person anxious.

Sheena looked at the ore thoughtfully.

"There are a lot of impurities in the Mithril mine, maybe the speed of refining into pure Mithril will be accelerated, Lord Richard, I'll try it."

Richard nodded.

"That's the idea of calling you."

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and continued.

"How's the dragon hunting crossbow forged?"

Adele showed a little pride on her face.

"Lord Richard, the first dragon hunting crossbow will be forged tomorrow! You won't be disappointed. ”

Richard was in a better mood.

"Yes, well done, Sheena, you've never let me down."

"Speed up the forging speed and strive to forge more before August 15th."

"The City of Twilight, now lacks a powerful heavy crossbow."

The Dragon Hunting Crossbow is a blueprint he obtained from the Crimson Council's treasury and is rated up to 4 stars.

It's very powerful.

In his defense plan, the alchemical artillery with a large caliber and large damage is responsible for clearing the ground enemy, and the dragon hunting crossbow, which is responsible for sniping the enemy hero.

A two-pronged approach.

There are still more than twenty days left, and he wants to increase the defense of Dusk City to the extreme.

At this point, he was already looking forward to the arrival of the copy.
