Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord Chapter 290 Su Wan and Xu Yuan's Harvest

290 Su Wan and Xu Yuan’s Harvest
“This dwarf with a disabled arm is an extraordinary alchemist,” said Xu Yuan. “He has great knowledge of alchemy and can build siege weapons. His name is Timo. He and his apprentices will be living with us from now on. Make arrangements for them.”
Su Wan nodded. “While you were gone, I tried to reach out to Dark Region City. In the future, we can hope to establish a long-term trade relationship with them. Also, the matter with the food workshop and winery must be resolved soon. I need qualified heroes to run those two places. Perhaps we can start now.”
Su Wan gestured for some residents to show the dwarves around the territory and assign them residences. When she saw the 30 wooden boxes neatly arranged nearby, her lips curled up into a satisfied smile.
“Xu Yuan, what is inside those?” she asked.
Xu Yuan used his magic to untie the chains around the boxes. The lid of the boxes opened. Su Wan watched carefully.
There were ores inside some of the wooden boxes. The ores glowed faintly. Other boxes held some mysterious thing that looked like mud. It was black and smelled awful.
The faintly glowing ores were Mithril ores. Even Xu Yuan was surprised at this. He couldn’t believe there were so many Mithril ores in that small dwarven underground city!
Although the quality of these ores was a few grades lower than the ones traded with Dark Region City, this was still a bountiful harvest.
Three boxes contained Mithril ores. Each had around 1000 units of ores, totaling up to 3000 units.
No matter how many impurities there were in the ores, the Mithril content would still be more than 50 units obtained from the Dark Region City.
Moreover, they had received this for free!
“What’s in the rest of the boxes?” asked Su Wan.
“Alchemy Gunpowder,” said Xu Yuan. “An ingredient used to make alchemy bombs.”
The Alchemy Gunpowder was a top-grade gunpowder developed by Timo. It contained magic that was channeled to be used as explosives.
The alchemy bombs were used in the magical cannons he had seen the dwarves use. It was an extremely powerful weapon.
27 boxes of Alchemy Gunpowder now belonged to them! There might be around 30,000 units of gunpowder in there!
Xu Yuan asked Timo about it. The dwarf told him that 30,000 units of Alchemy Gunpowder could produce 3000 alchemy bombs.
He emphasized that he could produce ten and thousands of alchemy bombs if he used the gunpowder sparingly.
In addition to these, there were also 20,000 units of rare resources Xu Yuan had obtained from the dwarven city.
Each of the four rare resources contained powerful magic and was suitable for various purposes. They could be used to develop weapons or sold for treasures.
Xu Yuan thought that the gains far exceeded his expectations. He now had rare resources, Mithril ores, Alchemy Gunpowder, and the knowledgeable Timo!
“Store the gunpowder in the warehouse,” instructed Su Wan to one of the troops. “If anyone needs to use it, they will have to come to me for approval.”
“Yes, My Lord.”
Su Wan began telling Xu Yuan about her encounter with the Light-Types and other Lords. They talked about their adventures.
The succubus, Eliza, talked to Timo excitedly. She realized that they were the new troops.
When the residents passed by, they bowed to her respectfully. “Lady Eliza.”
Eliza acknowledged them. “Where are you going?”
“The Lord has summoned us.”
“Alright. Go ahead.”
Eliza looked thoughtfully at the backs of the five people as they left.
Resources were limited and could not be shared among everyone. So, Su Wan and Xu Yuan selected some heroes with talent and helped them nurture their skills further.
Each troop type had a unique trait that was suitable for one type of job. Su Wan and Xu Yuan examined them carefully through their attribute panels.
The natives of the Overlord Plane were especially confusing. They weren’t heroes, so their attributes differed in some respects.
Two residents who were steady and hardworking were suitable to work in the food workshops and the winery. So, Su Wan and Xu Yuan assigned them jobs to work in those places.
The other three were more suitable for research according to their attributes, so Su Wan noted their names down and told them that they might be summoned in the future for suitable jobs.
The two young men who were chosen to work at the winery looked flustered. They looked at Xu Yuan and Su Wan in awe.
They felt blessed. The food workshop and the winery would be at the forefront when they opened trade relationships with neighboring cities. The jobs they were assigned were very important. They were grateful for the opportunity given to them.
They thanked Su Wan and Xu Yuan profusely.
“The fact that you were chosen means that you have talent. Your future is bright,” said Xu Yuan. “As long as you are ready to shoulder the responsibilities diligently, I will grant you unprecedented power! Are you willing to take responsibility for the food workshop and winery to create more value for the territory?”
The two of them looked at Xu Yuan. Pride and passion flared in their hearts.
“We swear to it, Your Majesty!” they said.
“I hope you won’t let me down.” Under Xu Yuan’s aura, their body surged with power.
After about ten minutes, when the power subsided, Su Wan opened their attribute panels.

[Muba]

Their bloodline that Xu Yuan awakened, and their skills were decent. Overall, they had passed. “You now possess the power of heroes. Your future is indeed bright.”
“I hope that you can create more value for the territory in the future with your skill and talent,” said Xu Yuan in encouragement. “I hope you make the residents proud of you!”
