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

783 Chapter 480: Turbulence and Uneasiness

It was the 23rd of December, at 3 a.m., at Violet Manor.

Richard closed the [Forum Chat]. He felt the importance of the messages.

Once again, he ordered people to prepare a carriage. He went to the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce under the night’s cover.

The information he obtained from the players was valuable.

The players wouldn’t understand the importance of this information, although the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce also had its player system to observe the player community.

Richard arrived at the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce. He waited about half an hour, and sparingly tired Windsor appeared.

Chairman Windsor had not been idle after she bore her fate.

She had even more work to do.

Richard did not waste any time. He told Windsor the news he had just received, and she looked surprised and even sparingly solemn.

Then, they fell into a long silence.

She eventually said in a slightly low tone.

“Lord Richard, I didn’t expect us to make such a low-level mistake.”

Richard was curious.

“A low-level mistake?”

Windsor sighed at the man with a complicated look in his eyes.

“We initially thought that the planar power would like to see the ancient gods return… However, after millions of years, the fake gods who stole divine power had formed new rules.”

“The world’s power wouldn’t incline towards the ancient gods anymore…

“This war would be more chaotic than we initially expected.”

Richard’s eyes narrowed as he spoke slowly.

“Chairman Windsor, we are friends.

“I will do my best if you need my help.”

Windsor smiled.

“Lord Richard, your information is already very precious to me.

“Don’t worry. We would have anticipation no matter how bad the situation would be if our opponents were the gods that could fill the sky.

“No one can stop the return of the ancient gods.

“The order of this world will eventually return to normal.

“We are the guardians of the rules, the guardians of the world. No one can break our power!”

Her tone was calm, but it carried an unshakable determination.

How could she talk about destroying the gods without enough courage?

Richard sighed at the serious look in her eyes.

Perhaps he had underestimated the Crimson Moon.

That was the main character of the next expansion pack. The future was bound to be brilliant.

He nodded sparingly.

“I look forward to that day, Chairman Windsor.”

“Praise Crimson Moon!”

Richard did not say anything else and turned around to leave afterward.

Windsor saw Richard’s back and smiled.

At this moment, she truly felt he was on the same side as her.

She took a deep breath and turned to look at the sky through the glass window.

There was an indescribable sharpness in her eyes.

No one could stop the Crimson Moon from its rise!

In the next second, her body suddenly disappeared from where she was.

Richard returned to Violet Manor. He stopped working and had a good sleep.

Sleeping was still his fastest way to recover energy, even though the amount of sleep required decreased as his strength increased.

Richard woke up the next day.

He didn’t stay in Solan City any longer after breakfast.

The Contract Scroll was already in his hands, and the grand duke vampire in the blood coffin waited for something to happen.

The Kingdom of Ell plane still waited for him to conquer.

He felt a strong sense of urgency coupled with the news he had heard from Windsor.

“Time waited for me.”

It was already the 23rd. Only five days remained before the system would release the new expansion pack.

An enormous change was imminent. Richard had to go back and make arrangements.

Vale had already deduced a thing or two the other night. So he didn’t ask Richard to stay. Instead, he repeatedly said that he needed to carry out orders and that the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce would do its best to complete them.

Richard thought highly of this intelligent officer. He spent a few moments of comfort and communication with him.

The officer determined roughly the development route of the Violet Chamber of Commerce in the massive change.

Richard didn’t linger any longer and rode the carriage out of the city after a simple conversation.

A carriage with the Solan merchant union’s insignia stopped before the Violet Manor a few seconds after Richard left.

Then, a middle-aged lady in her early fifties alighted from the carriage and hurried into the manor.

Vale was surprised when he saw the lady.

“Madam Babina, welcome…”

“Is Her Highness Christy with you?”

The middle-aged lady was the guard of the young princess Christy of Solan City. Vale had seen her more than once.

Relief filled the middle-aged lady’s eyes.

“Her Highness Christy is studying martial arts and magic. She would only come back next month.”

Vale nodded with a subtle feeling in his heart.

Young Princess Christy promised to return stronger after something provoked her the last time they saw each other.

It had been a while since their last meeting.

Vale didn’t expect the young princess with divinity to really persevere.

He was sparingly curious after he regained his senses.

“Then what can I do for you?”

The middle-aged lady’s eyes were solemn.

“Grand Duke Frostwolf wishes to meet the true ruler of the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce, the lord of Twilight City, Lord Richard.”

Vale’s heart skipped a beat.

His gaze became extremely solemn.

Grand Duke Frostwolf.

This name was a well-deserved legend in Solan City. It possessed endless deterrence.

He was the only ruler of Solan City.

A legendary ascetic!

Its battle power was so soul-strapping that the entire desert of death trembled.

Such a top-notch figure wanted to meet Lord Richard at this moment. Why?

Anxiety immediately engulfed Vale’s heart.

The ascetic was a legend, although he had absolute confidence in Richard.

He was also an ascetic with the highest battle strength among the legends.

He was a terrifying existence that could dive deep into magma and swim into erupting volcanoes with its flesh and blood alone, and was unscathed under the Dragon Breath.

Not to mention that the entire Solan City was at his beck and call.

That was the true ruler, the most powerful person in the world.

The middle-aged lady saw Vale’s worry, and her expression softened sparingly.

“Officer Vale, you don’t have to worry. Grand Duke Frostwolf has no ill intentions toward Lord Richard.

“The last time the abyss shattered, several demons appeared in the desert. The grace mainland lords sent word that they saw Lord Richard inside. And solid evidence manifested that Lord Richard quelled the unrest.”

“Grand Duke Frostwolf is highly appreciative of such behavior.

“Besides, Her Highness Christy often mentions Lord Richard before the grand duke.

“Grand Duke Frostwolf is quite curious about it, so he wants to meet.”

Vale finally relaxed a bit when he heard this.

He took a deep breath and said slowly.

“Unfortunately, Lord Richard left the Violet Merchantile Association Chamber of Commerce half an hour ago.

“He urgently needed to deal with some things in Twilight City. Furthermore, there’s a piece of news that a sandstorm is about to strike. My lord had to return to deal with the disaster and didn’t have time to stay in the city.”

He said apologetically.

“My apology to Grand Duke Frostwolf. Can we postpone the meeting for another time?

“I would immediately send a letter to Lord Richard. I’ll inform him that he must quickly return after he took care of the sandstorm.”

To reject a transcendent was a challenging task.

However, this excuse was not too much of a problem.

The sandstorm was coming. For those who lived around the desert, that would be very immersive.

No one would comment on this.

The lady’s expression changed a bit when she heard this.

Then she remembered Twilight City in the depths of the desert. They encountered a sandstorm that was simply too common.

“Do you need our help?”

Afraid that he would misunderstand, she added.

“Before Lady Christy advanced her studies, she told me I should do my best to help Lord Richard if he were in trouble.”

Vale’s expression froze, and his impression of the young princess improved.

He said softly.

“The lord already has a way to deal with it, but I can’t leave him.”

The lady didn’t mind when she saw how confident Vale was.

After an exchange a few more pleasantries, the middle-aged lady turned around and left.

Vale looked at her back with a subtle expression.

Grand Duke Frostwolf wanted to see the human overlord. Vale couldn’t know whether the news was good or bad.

Finally, the middle-aged lady entered the carriage and immediately relayed the news.

The lady who had passed on Grand Duke Frostwolf’s intention to meet Richard sparingly frowned when she sat back in the carriage.

She said slowly to the empty carriage before her.

“You said that the spatial rift in the abyss is really related to authority? Had the grace mainland overlord also held it?

“Additionally… The human overlord left Solan City so quickly this time. Could it be that? Had he sensed our arrival?”

A cold voice sounded out of nowhere.

“The grand duke himself obtained the information. That couldn’t be a mistake.

“We wouldn’t have known that the grace mainland overlord so close to the young princess was involved if we didn’t investigate the grace mainland lords who entered the spatial rift.”

The middle-aged lady frowned even more.

“But, how can a grace mainland overlord control the power of authority?”

The cold voice sounded complicated.

“That player…However, the strongest grace mainland overlord Qingqiu.

“He was the strongest among the ten billion people or more. There must be something extraordinary about him!

“As for whether or not he obtained that authority, we’ll know once we meet him.

“Besides, we wouldn’t hurt him.”

The middle-aged lady narrowed her eyes.

“Grand Duke, have you touched the edge of that realm already?

“This is not something you should ask about…”
