Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

531 Chapter 383: Sister Windsor, Sir Richard Wants Me to Help Him Find Information About the Crimson Moon [1/3]

“Lord Richard, the literacy class is going well. Most of the residents can now read more than 300 words and can read simple announcements. We will gradually adjust the depth of knowledge in the next step.

“The various departments’ conferences have been adjusted many times and are now very suitable for the current situation in Twilight City. We have implemented our previous idea of integrating the knowledge of each industry into a book.

“As the literacy rate increases, this project is accelerating. We estimated the revision of the first batch of books in two months.

“These professional books are the experiences accumulated by the veterans in the relevant industries over a long period. There are also a lot of exclusive secrets, which will be of great help to novice apprentices.

“Also, the government department you asked me to build has already been established. We divide it into five departments: the Ministry of People’s Lives, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Weapons, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Commerce.

“Everyone in Twilight City works in these five departments.

“The list of managers for the five departments has been sorted out. You need to appoint them…

Butler Karu described the situations in Twilight City in detail.

Richard listened attentively. He would ask if he had any doubts.

Although he had only left for half a month, the changes in Twilight City were not small.

It took him some time to digest all the information.

“You’ve done a great job. It’s been hard on you.

“I’ll organize an appointment ceremony tomorrow. I’ll appoint the managers of several departments at once.

“As for the other government affairs, just follow the established plan. Report to me if you can’t make up your mind.”

Richard changed the topic.

“Vale is already in charge of our newly established Violet Merchant Association in Solan City.

“You need to speed up the statistics of the underworld specialties and report the news to him.

“The Chamber of Commerce is currently the only window to the outside world of Twilight City. It will bear even greater responsibilities in the future.

“You must help Vale immediately with whatever he needs.”

Butler Karu looked solemn.

“Yes, my Lord.”

He had a thorough understanding of the merchant association’s plan. That was why he had sent Vale, who was like a disciple to him.

Richard didn’t say much. His trust in Karu was high.

Karu hadn’t made mistakes since he appointed him, although he was old and weak.

“You can go down first. I’m going to the blacksmith shop.”

Richard finished his tea when Karu left and followed him out of the Lord’s mansion, heading straight for the blacksmith shop.

The mummy guardians that protected the door humbly bowed when they saw Richard.

All the troops recruited from the lair would be loyal to the lord who recruited them while the lord was still alive.

It was even more so for undead-like mummies.

Richard stationed troops in some key departments to prevent accidents as Twilight City grew and had more soldiers.

The hurried apprentice immediately bowed in surprise when he entered the blacksmith shop.

The room immediately became lively.

Richard nodded with a smile and went up to the second floor.

Richard saw Adele as soon as he stepped up the stairs. She had a few black marks on her face. She held a long-handled copper hammer taller than her and prepared to forge.

The girl subconsciously turned her head. Her eyes curved into crescent moons when she saw Richard.

Delight engulfed her eyes from top to bottom.

“Lord Richard, you’re back!”

Richard looked at the treasure of Twilight City and chuckled.

“Your father’s letter has arrived. It is your father’s reply.”

As he spoke, he took a letter from the system space and handed it to the girl.

Previously, when she knew that Richard was going to Solan City, Andel had written a letter to him in advance. This time, when she went, she asked Onic to send it to him.

Adele took it excitedly and tore to open the envelope in front of him to read it carefully.

He looked at Richard with a smile after a cursory glance.

“My Lord, father told me to work hard for Twilight City…”

Richard thought of how he had hung Adele’e father up and beaten him up. And how the girl had asked him to punish her more. He couldn’t help but smile.

That guy could distinguish between good and evil.

Richard got down to business after they chatted for a while.

“Adele, have you made any progress in your previous research on improving the potential of the military?”

Richard obtained a few top-notch treasures from the dungeon last time–the dark crystal that could increase one’s life potential.

These include a strengthening gemstone that could raise a subordinate’s skill Beyond A-rank.

Another was a fusion gemstone that could fuse two troops into one.

The other was a spiritual gemstone that could increase soldier potential.

He had used most dark crystals on Alves and one strengthening gemstone on the one-armed blacksmith Sam. Currently, two were left.

The fusion crystal and psionic gemstone had fused the undead soldiers of the Axe of the Dead and the dark gargoyle and gave birth to the stone statue of the dead. Two remained.

Richard earned 14 psionic gemstones and gave five to Adele. But he hadn’t seen results from her research.

Adele’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard this.

She said excitedly.

“Lord Richard, I was inspired by Sam’s research on attack technology, so I’ve been trying another way to improve myself.”

“The stone statue of the dead has a very high potential. It’s too wasteful to strengthen it with psionic gemstones alone.”

“Using this new method, I can make the stone statue of the dead even stronger!”
