“Master.”
Richard followed Knowles to another hall. Before he entered the door, he saw Gray and Gunter.
The two mummy heroes’ auras were much stronger than before. It was distinct that they had gained a lot in the past few days.
With some anticipation, Richard opened Gray’s status panel first.
After he glanced, his eyes immediately sparked with admiration.
!!
[Curse Language (A-rank) — Able to cause any enemy within 300 meters, within a radius of 50 meters, to fall into a state of chaos. The movement will be suspended for 10 seconds. The cooldown time is 2 minutes. Consumes 100 mana points)
[Corpse Transformation (A-rank) — Able to transform a corpse into a mummy. The stronger the corpse, the stronger the mummy will be. At the same time, mana can be channeled into the mummy to increase its strength. A daily number of transformations: 3 teams.]
He remembered clearly that the cursed pharaoh’s powerful control skill was B-rank before, with a casting diameter of 20 meters.
Now, it was genuinely upgraded to grade A. Not only did the casting range soar, but the control time also increased to 10 seconds.
And the Corpse Transformation skill was explicitly Gunter’s!
When this skill was on Gunter, it was only B-rank.
Was this the surprise Knowles had mentioned?
It was indeed powerful.
In a great mood, Richard opened Gunter’s stats window again.
[Corpse Explosion (A-rank) — Can cause a single corpse within a 50-meter radius to explode. The damage dealt depends on the strength of the corpse. At the same time, mana can be injected into the corpse to increase the damage. The casting range is 300 meters. There is no cooldown time. Each time, the minimum mana consumption is 50 points.]
[Corpse Transformation (A-rank)…]
Good heavens, Gunter’s B–rank Corpse Explosion had also been upgraded to A-rank. At the same time, its Corpse Transformation skill had also been upgraded to A-rank, just like Gray’s.
He was very curious about what the two heroes had done in the Resplendent Wizard Tower these past few days.
To upgrade a skill was an intensely punishing thing to do.
Moreover, skills were upgraded from B-rank to A-rank. With this upgrade, their power and strategic significance would increase exponentially.
Not to mention that Gray had also learned Gunter’s Corpse Transformation skill.
Didn’t this mean Twilight City could obtain six small squads of free soldiers every day?
Although the troop they recruited wasn’t sturdy, the key was they didn’t need money.
Richard laughed heartily.
Although his strength had increased rapidly during this time, A territory required several troops to support it.
It would still be the same even if his level were 20 or 30.
There was no situation where he became sturdier, but troops were useless.
Top-tier battle strength and ordinary troops complemented each other.
Occupy resource points, capture cities, guard farmland, protect territories… No one could leave the troops.
After Richard encouraged the two heroes, he followed Knowles into the hall with a strange expression.
“Where did you find such a potential subordinate?
“He’s almost comparable to Master Knowles…”
Richard smiled. “Luck.”
The dwarf rolled its eyes angrily and couldn’t be bothered with him anymore.
Richard smiled.
After they entered the hall, he immediately opened his mouth when he saw the figure in front of him.
“Good evening, President Jones, Ferguson.”
Ferguson spoke first with a smile.
“I heard that you went into the treasure warehouse. Didn’t Knowles ask you to bring ore for its warehouse?”
Knowles suddenly opened its eyes and angrily said, “Bastard, how could the wealthy Master Knowles ask a human kid to bring ore for me!
“The treasures in my warehouse can forge ten thousand mechanical puppets!!”
Richard found it a little funny. This guy would probably never change its stubbornness even if it died.
He looked at Jones, whose face was full of hideous scars, and said slowly.
“President, has the Third Princess been sent back?”
Jones nodded.
“The princess of the Templar City has returned to the capital.”
Admiration filled his tone.
“Thanks for your previous speech. The Scarlet Council now has countless followers in the Templar City.”
“Now, as long as we wait for the right moment, we can realize our final dream — to build a country without the oppression of kings, nobles, and sects!
“A great dreamland that everyone is willing to give everything for!”
As it said this, it eyes shone with a dazzling light.
Idealists always had a unique charm — stubborn, determined, and unwavering…
When Richard saw this, he took a deep breath.
Although the difficulty of achieving this ideal was as lofty as the sky, he still had to give his blessings.
After all, he had contributed to this ideal. And it was a great effort.
After Richard thought for a moment, his voice became a little deeper.
“President Jones.
“I’m Leaving Tomorrow.
“Go back to my plane. Maybe I won’t have the chance to see this great scene…”
As he spoke, he glanced at the few of them and smiled.
“Perhaps, the Scarlet Council can find a new elder.”
A few were not surprised. The few meaningfully looked at Richard.
“We have guessed a lot about the origins of the lord of divine grace. We also found out from the side you definitely could not stay for long.
“More than ten hours ago, the spies received the news. A lord of divine grace said they leave tomorrow.
“We thought maybe you wouldn’t be an exception.
“But this doesn’t affect our friendship.”
Jones handed him a resource bag.
“This is your salary during your tenure as an elder.”
After Richard reached out to take it, he slowly extended his hand.
“Elder Richard, may our faith shine on your path forward.”
Richard was stunned. He was touched and firmly held by the other party.
When Ferguson saw this, it slowly reached out and held the two people.
Knowles was anxious. It also raised its hand and joined in.
The four people looked at each other and laughed in unison.
Then, their inexplicable laughter grew increasingly louder. In the end, laughter canopied the entire hall with their laughter.
The two mummy heroes looked at this scene which reflected question marks on their faces. They did not understand why they laughed so happily…
When Richard left the hall, it was already four or five in the morning. He was heavily drunk.
This was the last night. The four were starkly drunk.
Even Jones, the mysterious boss who had always been elegant, had a rare loud voice. It drank to its heart’s content.
When Richard woke up, it was already 11 a.m.
When he saw an hour remaining in the countdown before leaving the dungeon, he quietly got up and washed up.
Then, he led the two heroes out of the room and slowly walked out of the fortified city.
Gray looked at Richard’s back and asked in confusion.
“Lord, aren’t you going to say goodbye to Sir Jones and Ferguson?”
Richard smiled.
“Last night was a farewell.”
As he spoke, he turned to look at the magnificent city and shouted piercingly.
“We were born free and should not be bullied and trampled upon by anyone!
“We were born free and should not be oppressed by kings, nobles, and churches!
“Since fate is unfair, then overthrow fate!”
As his last words fell, Richard and the two heroes suddenly disappeared.
Their breaths had starkly disappeared.
Jones, Ferguson, and Knowles suddenly appeared at the place where he had left.
When they sensed no one around, they all fell silent.
Their comrade had left…
Ferguson said slowly.
“I hope that young man can return safely.”
Knowles snorted.
“Human boy, when we meet again in the future, Master Knowles will let you see a mechanical puppet that is a hundred times stronger than an extraordinary hunter.”
Jones, whose scars of all sizes wrapped around its face, said with some anticipation.
“I hope Elder Richard can also fulfill our faith in his plane! Let the flame of freedom burn in everyone’s chest…”
Ferguson pondered for a moment and said, “President Jones, Richard has left. The position of the elder…”
Jones slowly shook his head.
“Choose one of the most determined people.
“But as long as the Scarlet Council is still around, Elder Richard will always be our elder. No one can remove him from his position!”
