Richard made up a story with a serious face.
“This robe is a specialty of Twilight City. It composes of 128 kinds of subtle materials.And it is highly costly to produce.
“It has strapping characteristics. First, it can absorb heat and keep the body cool when it is hot.
“Even under the heat of the desert, it’s like bathing in the mountain cool spring water.
“Second, it can release heat when it’s cold. So the wearer can maintain the most comfortable state at all times.
“Even if ice and snow surround the outside, it’s like being in a warm room with red charcoal fire.
“Third, because of the additional magic materials, it has the strapping characteristics of recovering stamina and mana.
“This is the production blueprint we obtained from the ancient ruins.
“In the “Shining Era”, this was the most beloved robe of the ruler of the death desert. Its name was the Crown Robe.”
When Onyx heard the first part of the sentence, he was excited. The last part of the sentence made the corner of his mouth twitch.
Did he say that on the Desert Crown Honey?
But he didn’t care. They might hire someone to make up a few more perfect stories if they worked together.
Otherwise, how could they sell it at a high price?
“Lord Richard, how’s the production of the Crown Robe?”
It was Onyx’s most concern.
It would tremendously reduce the value if there were only three or five pieces.
Richard didn’t respond immediately.
He began to think carefully.
At present, the fire dragon rabbits still multiply rapidly.
Next month, the number would reach hundreds.
And for every yellow sand robe, it would take about five fire dragon rabbits to shed their fur.
They would produce a conservative estimate of 50 to 80 yellow sand robes the following month.
The only thing that worried him was what the desert gnome said — after the fire dragon rabbits multiplied to a certain extent, they would gradually stop and maintain a specific number.
It would have an enormous impact on his plans.
“Because production is difficult and materials are scarce, the current production of the Crown Robe is limited.”
“Starting next month, it is estimated that they can produce 50 pieces monthly.”
Onyx heaved a sigh of relief.
Although it was much less than he had imagined, they could still operate 50 pieces. There would not be a few pieces left that they could not continuously export.
Richard slowly came to a realization when he looked at Onyx’s reaction.
He had always thought that the land of ice and snow was the honest buyer of the yellow sand robe. And he still thought about when he should go there.
However, the heat resistance of the yellow sand robe made it extremely practical in the desert.
It also had a vast market.
It didn’t necessarily mean to sell it in the cold area.
At this moment, he thought about letting Lucy develop a robe for the desert.
Moreover, there was no need to add any mana or physical recovery. Just the heat resistance alone was enough.
If he thought about it carefully, he would realize that this was ultimately a substantial market.
Richard’s eyes radiated luminosity.
The three treasures of Planet Blue’s summer appeared in his mind — WIFI, watermelon, and air-conditioning.
He could not create WIFI in this world anymore. He didn’t know if there were watermelons or not. It would be fine if he did not have the first two.
It would be distinct how popular it would be if they could create a walking air-conditioner.
It could cause a sensation even if they brought it to Planet Blue.
Who could refuse to wear an air-conditioner to go out and have fun?
And not only that, would Lucy be able to develop corresponding clothes for various climates in the future?
When he thought this way, the tailor shop had raw materials production’s unlimited potential with such powerful properties as the flame dragon rabbit.
“Lord Richard, do you have a price for the Crown Robe?”
Onyx’s words interrupted Richard’s thoughts.
Richard revived from his quick siesta and smiled.
“Onyx, what do you think the value of the Crown Robe would be?”
Onyx took a deep breath and shrunk the tight stomach of the clothes.
After he felt his body was not as stretched as before, he opened his mouth to speak.
“1,000 units of gemstones per piece…”
Richard raised his eyebrows.
“Not enough.”
Onyx hurriedly said.
“I’m talking about the deposit. I’ll need to take the exact price back to Solan City before I can confirm it.”
Richard then nodded.
The fire dragon rabbit fur’s production was limited. So it had to take the high-end route.
It’s impossible to be low-end at the low-end. Only the nobles could make bucks of money.
“I’ve already ordered people to produce it overnight. When you go back, you can take 10 pieces with you.”
Onyx nodded repeatedly. Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked.
“Lord Richard, are there female-style clothes here?”
“Noble ladies would surely love clothes that can resist the heat. The price will also be higher…”
Richard could not help but laugh.
Sure enough, no matter which world it was, the purchasing power of women was top-notch.
“You can talk to Karu later and bring up all your requests.”
Onyx was too lazy to ask for too many details after Richard set the general direction.
How could he waste so much time on this?
The atmosphere between the two traders became more harmonious after they settled the two substantial matters.
After they chatted for a long time, a guard suddenly entered the mansion to report that Adele and her father pleaded to see him.
When Richard heard this, he seemed to have thought of something, and his expression turned cold.
He waved his hand and asked the guard to bring them in.
After they entered the mansion, Adele excitedly went up and bowed.
“Lord Richard.”
As she spoke, she gestured to the burly figure beside her that made people suspect he had the bloodline of a giant.
“This is my father, Jonah Thorin.
“Father, this is the Lord of Twilight City, Lord Richard…”
It was the first time Jonah Thorin had seen the lord of this territory.
When he entered the territory, this dispelled most of his initially despondent encounters in his heart.
Now that he saw Richard, his emotions were very complicated.
This was especially so after he gave so many good things to Adele and allowed her to become a special-level blacksmith. This made his complicated feelings even more intricated.
He even found the prodigious puppet in the backyard that made his heart waver.
Jonah immediately squeezed out a smile and said softly.
“Lord Richard…”
As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely scared witless aura surged from the excessively young lord’s body.
Everyone in the room at this moment seemed to see the surge of paralyzing sandstorm would engulf the world.
Everything dimmed under pressure.
While Jonah Thorin faced the pressure, he felt like a mountain pressed on his head and cracked the floor beneath his feet.
Then, the tall and sturdy body began to bend under infinite pressure.
Finally, under everyone’s gaze, it was like a massive rock squashed a piece of bamboo.
He bent his knees and knelt, unable to endure the pressure anymore.
Two deep marks appeared on the floor.
Jonah Thorin’s face turned red, but he could not utter a single word.
This suppressed the strength in his body, and an indescribable fear rose in his heart.
The young lord’s eyes were like those of a god that looked down on a lowly believer.
As long as the young lord was willing, he could crush the other party’s soul at any time.
Jonah’s sense of hearing and smell… The pressure stripped off all of his senses at this moment.
In the prodigious living room, everyone around had disappeared without a trace. That figure with an indifferent expression occupied the entire world.
Bean-sized sweat dripped down Jonah’s forehead.
How could that lord have such scare stiff force?
The other party’s level was not even higher than his…
At this moment, intense fear stuffed his eyes.
The bold words he had said before he entered the territory in his mind — he wanted to flatten this territory.
Compared to the current situation, at this moment, shame and fear swept through his heart at the same time.
Just as he forcefully supported himself with his hands to prevent himself from lying on the ground under that pressure…
An indifferent voice sounded in his ears like a clap of thunder.
“When one travels livestock into Twilight City without authorization and incites the residents to rebel in public.
“Karu, according to the laws of Twilight City, how do you deal with this?”
Another voice said flatly.
“Fifty whips for the first crime and execution for the second…”
‘Execution?!’
Jonah Thorin felt an indescribable sense of horror under the pressure of a sandstorm.
At this moment, he even felt the gaze of death.
He would die. He would ultimately die!
That pair of indifferent eyes looked straight at him without speaking.
The pressure he was under at this moment almost made him break down.
He was like a toddler who had just learned how to walk and face the endless sandstorm that turns the world upside down.
Even at this moment, speaking was a luxury.
The will in his heart rapidly collapses after that sentence of execution…
He vaguely heard another voice as if it was saying something.
In the end, that pair of indifferent eyes fluctuated.
He spoke slowly.
“Your daughter, Adele, is willing to exchange all her contributions for your life. But sin is a sin. The law does not forgive. Drag him out and hang him in the desert for three days under the sun. Whip him 1,000 times.”
In that instant, the pressure dissipated.
Jonah Thorin seemed to have come back to life at that moment.
However, when he looked at the young man sitting on the main seat as if nothing had happened, the contempt in his heart had long been shattered, and fear replaced it.
Even though the city would punish him like this, he did not dare to say anything more at that moment.
He could feel the cold attitude of the young lord. He would die if he dared to say anything more…
He looked at his daughter with shame and lowered his head.
After the guards pulled Jonah Thorin out, Richard looked at the unexpectedly calm Adele.
He asked curiously.
“Don’t go out and take a look.”
Adele shook her head.
“Lord Richard, I know my father’s character better than you do. I should have let him suffer a great loss a long time ago.”
“It’s normal to hang him for what he did in other territories… No lord can tolerate outsiders trampling on the law in their territory.”
He hesitated.
“This punishment won’t affect the Thorin family’s bloodline.”
“How about another 1,000 lashes? I’m afraid father won’t learn his lesson after only 1,000 lashes…”
The corners of Richard’s mouth twitched.
It would probably hurt more than 1,000 lashes if that heard this.
He waved his hand.
“I gave the order. There’s no way to change it.”
He said with a smile.
“Twilight City has just made a few deals with the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.
“Next, there will be voluminous rare resources in the account.
“I’ll have to trouble you for this time.”
Adele’s eyes immediately lit up.
“My Lord, it’s not hard at all. I can use all the resources I have!”
When Richard saw the girl’s excited expression, he inexplicably felt that he had asked for a low price in the transaction just now…
