Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 274 - This is My Daughter... You Should Know

Chapter 274: Chapter 233: This is My Daughter… You Should Know
Richard turned around and approached the half-lying centaur boss. He looked down at the misty eyes exposed in the wet hair.
The other party’s appearance was that of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old, with some childishness.
Richard said slowly.
“Do you still remember your name?”
The centaur said in a weak voice.
“Emily…”
He said in a seemed like a bullied child tone.
“Father, have you forgotten my name?
“You were the one who named me. Emily…
Its eyes suddenly turned red, and its eyes welled up with tears.
However, it held back its tears, like a child who had its favorite toy stolen but didn’t dare to say anything.
While Richard looked at its aggrieved expression, he felt like he had done something terrible, and a sense of guilt rose in his heart.
After he thought for a while, his voice became gentler.
“Emily, do you still remember the past?”
There must be something wrong with this centaur boss…
When the other party heard this, confusion flooded its eyes. Then, it held its head in pain.
“Father, I, I can’t remember.”
The collapse of the land of the broken laws caused the boss to lose all its power and soul.
Richard’s brow furrowed.
He sighed again when he looked at the helpless look on its face.
How could he bear to let such a pitiful and helpless little girl suffer so much? He wished he could bring it back to Twilight City and take good care of it to enjoy the world’s warmth.
Not for anything else. But for its kindness.
He revealed a kind smile on his face.
“Emily, the land of the broken laws has collapsed. You have completed your mission. I’m here to take you home.”
The teary-eyed centaur raised its head. Its wet hair covered a portion of its face, and its dark eyes that peeked out from the ends of its hair immediately lit up.
With a bit of happiness and uncertainty, it said carefully.
“Father, you’re not lying to me?”
Richard waved his hand, and the sand formed a platform for the being to lean on.
He walked closer to the centaur and rubbed its little head.
His tone was gentle.
“Of course, my child. Let’s go home now.”
At this moment, the overbearing boss had become a little girl.
Its eyes curved into crescents as it cheered in joy.
“Long live, Father!”
After it finished speaking, it seemed to have thought of something and said it with some uncertainty.
“Then, will you still abandon me in the future?”
That highly-strung look could make people’s hearts clench for some reason.
Richard patted the girl’s head and looked into its eyes.
I won’t. I won’t ever do it again. Just don’t leave me in the future. I’ll never abandon you.
Emily, the “little girl” who only had the mind of a five or six-year-old girl, was happy to hear this, and a bright smile appeared on its face.
“I won’t leave my father!”
‘Cough! Cough!’
After the excitement, he covered his mouth with its hand, and its face turned pale again.
Richard checked the status.
The centaur was still heavily injured.
Without hesitation, he took a bottle of Desert Crown Honey from the system space.
He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to the little centaur.
He comforted the “little girl” softly.
“Emily, this is the best honey in the world. Try it. You’ll recover after drinking it.”
Emily’s small nose twitched slightly, and she swallowed a mouthful of saliva when she smelled the sweet fragrance.
Then, it carefully received the honey.
He turned to Richard with a satisfied look.
“Father, this is the first time you gave me a present…”
After the centaur finished speaking, it held it with both hands and took a small sip. The taste that made its taste buds explode immediately lit up its eyes.
It was too wonderful.
After a few more sips, it handed the honey to Richard happily.
He was reluctant, but he was not stingy.
“Father, here you go. This honey is heavenly good.”
Richard looked at those clear eyes with a subtle expression.
It seemed not a bad idea to raise such a daughter…
He reached out and pinched its face.
“We still have a lot at home. You need to drink more to get better.”
“Yes, yes!”
Emily held the honey with both hands and began to drink it happily.
After it drank a bottle of honey, its breathing immediately recovered gradually.
Then, white and red energy rose from its body. After a few breaths, the little centaur stood up from the ground.
Although its aura was weak, it was no longer as before.
Its condition also recovered from severe injuries to light injuries.
After it got up, the little centaur rubbed its head against his shoulder. Its eyes were full of trust and reliance.
Richard couldn’t express his emotions.
He didn’t know if it would continue in this state or if it would recover one day… If it recovered its memory in the future, he didn’t know if it would die on the spot.
After some thought, Richard wondered if he should get a magic crystal to record Emily’s appearance.
What if one day, after the other party recovered its memory, he would take it out and play it repeatedly…
As they resumed their journey, Richard felt the area around him grow lively.
Emily looked at the items around her that moved quickly and chattered excitedly.
“Father, why is the sky blue? What if we go to the top of the sky?
“Father! Father, look, there’s a fish in the water! Wow, it’s so big. Can we go down and catch fish?
“Father, hahaha, the wind is so refreshing. I want to have a bite, ah… Cough! Cough! Cough! Cough!…
“Father, can we go and chase the sun in the sky? I want to take the sun back…
“Father…”
Richard’s heart relaxed when he heard those innocent words.
When he looked at the little centaur gazed around excitedly, a gentle smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Oh my, he had quite the feeling of being a father.
Twenty minutes later, the sand platform flew away from the vast lake and returned to the desert.
Richard turned to look and saw that the land of the broken laws had become a giant lake.
Wave after wave of ripples appeared, and the water’s surface reflected the light.
In the future, this desert will have an additional lake.
Without the injection of running water, perhaps, one day in the future, this lake would gradually dry up like the other countless lakes.
After it flew in the direction of Twilight City for a short while, he saw Alves and 30 skeletal blood dragons.
The troop immediately flew over excitedly when they saw him.
Xina, who rode on the back of a skeletal blood dragon, saw the figure that held a long-handled giant axe and jumped around Richard. She was immediately bewildered.
“Which strapping centaur is this?
“How did that enormous creature become so small?”
When she got close, she jumped off the skeleton blood dragon and landed on the sand platform.
She placed her hand on her chest and bowed.
“Lord Richard.”
After the bow, Xina couldn’t help but look behind Richard, who peeked at her with curiosity.
The other party’s expression and gaze gave her the feeling of a child.
‘Was this the same terrifying being that took on Lord Richard head-on?
‘How could it be so strange…’
Richard nodded.
When he saw Xina’s puzzled look, he extended his hand and introduced the centaur.
“This is my… My daughter, Emily.
“Emily, this is a resident of Twilight City, Xina. You can call her big Sister Xina from now on.”
Emily stared at Xina with a curious look. But her expression relaxed a little after she felt no hostility from her.
She said softly.
“Big Sister Xina…”
‘Daughter?’
Ten thousand question marks rose in Xina’s heart.
‘Lord, you’re a human. Wake up…’
But Richard didn’t say anything, and Xina knew something must’ve happened.
She smiled and nodded at the centaur.
“Hello, Emily.”
Richard’s eyes grew serious.
“Xina, how are the casualties of the troop?”
Xina’s expression became more solemn when they talked about serious matters.
“My Lord, the mummies suffered the most losses. The enemies killed half of them, and only three teams were left.
“The enemies killed two scorpion warriors. Four parties remained.
“The enemies killed three teams of sand condensation archers. Twenty-two remained.
“Other than that, the rest of the troops are uninjured.”
Richard nodded, unsurprised.
Although the overall strength of the half-murloc was average, they took advantage of the geographical supremacy.
The Twilight City troops had always been at a disadvantage. And they had to protect the ancient god statue from being interrupted.
It was inevitable to suffer losses.
However, this loss was nothing compared to the harvest this time.
When Richard thought of this, he suddenly returned to his senses.
His level-up mission was to solo kill a level 10 and above field hero.
It was a pity that he killed the half-murloc lord in the end, but Xina had also severely injured it, so he could not be considered to have killed it alone.
It seemed like he would have to find a field hero to kill in the next few days and level up first to level 10.
He returned to his senses and said in a solemn voice.
“Xina, have all the troops return to the territory immediately. We will face an intense battle in 20 days.
“By then, countless powerful monsters of other dimensions will attack Twilight City.
“This time, the enemy we’re facing is unprecedentedly powerful.”
