Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start Chapter 288 - Unlocking a New Attribute-Legend level

Chapter 288: Chapter 247: Unlocking a New Attribute-Legend level
In the underground world.
Alves seemed to burn with flames. It was quite conspicuous in the dim light.
As it flew across the sky, the dragon’s might it emitted swept around like a storm.
The underground creatures on the surface fled in all directions in fear.
Dragons were the overlords of the sky and were undeniably high-level lifeforms. Ordinary lifeforms would tremble in fear when faced with an existence of such a level.
Dozens of skeleton blood dragons followed closely behind Alves. The cold-faced dark gargoyles followed.
The sand condensation archers and the axe death knights rode behind. They held their weapons and were ready to attack at any time.
Richard sat on Alves’s back. His eyes were calm as he watched the scenery fly past him.
The unique sights of the underground world did not attract him at all. He had to get to Bloodhoof City the soonest to obtain enough resources.
In half a month, the instance dungeon would open.
He still had a lingering taste of the rewards he had earned from the instance dungeon. This time, tens of billions of people competed on the same stage. It was full of temptation for him.
This time, he wanted to let everyone know the power of Twilight City.
The underground city that crawled on the ground like a giant beast appeared in sight after more than an hour.
Among the bards, the underground city was often on the same level as countless gold and gem paintings.
Richard thought so too.
The underground world was a gold mine that one could not excavate unless strong enough.
The Bloodhoof City, under its continuous reconstruction, repaired the city wall that the giant alchemy cannons blew.
The cruel baptism of war did not cause the city to lose its fangs. Instead, it became increasingly shocking.
Only a few arrow towers behind the city wall looked like the teeth of wild beasts. They still need to rebuild them.
Bloodhoof City’s defenses had not weakened but had grown stronger instead. That surprised Richard, however.
The wyverns in the sky, clad in heavy armor, were the most striking.
Their numbers exceeded five companies.
The ferocious aura made people look sideways.
The armored wyverns noticed Alves’s presence before it even got close.
A twin-legged wyvern leader twice the size of its companions quickly arrived with a squadron of soldiers.
However, when it got closer and saw Alves with Richard on its back, its hostility disappeared immediately.
The wyverns lined up in two neat rows in the air under the leader’s command.
The dungeon barbarian sky soldiers placed their fists on their chests and saluted solemnly.
Although they were far away and no one said anything, their attitude was enough to explain everything.
Richard’s eyes were calm as he commanded Alves to fly through the wyverns.
Such a scene did not cause any ripples in his heart.
He was no longer the weak existence who went hunting with more than a dozen bandaged mummies and would be excited to meet a few wild wolves…
A caravan loaded with two-armed half-snake men entered the Bloodhoof City main gate.
The eyes of the four-armed half-snake man leader immediately turned cold when it saw the skeleton blood dragons and dark gargoyles flew over the city wall. They were distinctly not the Bloodhoof City troops.
“The lord of Bloodhoof City said that no one is allowed to enter the city from the sky… Could it be those damned undead dragons are also from Bloodhoof City?”
When the nearest dungeon barbarian sky soldier heard this, it turned its head and looked at them with a disdainful expression.
“The gray-scaled tribe?”
The leader of the half-snake men said while it suppressed its anger.
“That’s right. The lord of Bloodhoof City has invited us to engage in arms trade.”
“I would like to ask, why would the lord of Bloodhoof City tell us we are not allowed to fly into the city, but the troops that rode the undead dragon could?
“They aren’t Bloodhoof City’s troops, are they?!
The tall dungeon barbarian soldier looked at the half-snake man leader from head to toe.
“Why? I’ll tell you the reason!”
It pointed to the sky as it spoke.
“The one seated behind the first undead dragon is the surface lord who scared the dwarves of Fortress City more than ten days ago–Lord Richard, the most respected friend of Bloodhoof City.”
The dungeon barbarian soldier’s voice turned cold after it said that.
“Tell me, what right to mention do the gray-colored dwarves have in the same breath as Lord Richard?”
“Is it the level 11 chieftain or the squadron of wyverns?”
Horror reflected in the eyes of the four-armed half-snake man leader.
He cried out involuntarily.
“He’s the human overlord from the surface? The one whom dwarves of the Fortress City offered a reward of ten million units of food for the terrifying existence of his head?
“Ten million units of food!
“This was an exaggerated wealth in the underground world where food was scarce!”
Now, they could obtain it by killing a human.
He had never heard of such a high reward, never!
The dungeon barbarian soldier looked up at the disappearing figure of the skeleton blood dragon with an indescribable heat in its eyes.
“That’s right! If you can make Fortress City offer ten million food to hunt you down, you can make an exception for Bloodhoof City today!
“Don’t talk nonsense here if you can’t do it. You don’t have the right to negotiate with Bloodhoof City!
“He had participated in the brutal war more than ten days ago.
“I had witnessed how the Lord from the surface had saved Bloodhoof City and scared the damn gray-colored dwarves out of their wits that caused them to throw away the giant alchemy cannons and escape.
“If it weren’t for Lord Richard, Bloodhoof City would have ceased to exist.”
The half-snake man leader took two deep breaths and didn’t dare to say another word.
It has long time shattered the bit of dissatisfaction in its heart.
Bloodhoof City and Fortress City were the two overlords of the underground world.
It could force the long-prepared gray-colored dwarves to retreat and let these greedy lives offer a shocking price of ten million units of food to kill.
One could only imagine how powerful the human from the surface was!
One had to show enough respect to the strong. It was the most basic way of survival.
Richard had no idea what was going on down there. Alves had just landed in the square in front city Lord’s mansion.
The ruler of Bloodhoof City, the level 15 hero, Sel Bloodhoof, immediately came out of the Lord’s mansion.
Before they even got close, he shouted.
“Lord Richard, the most honored guest of Bloodhoof City, my friend! We welcome you!”
The loud voice made the surrounding barbarian soldiers look at the handsome figure with curiosity and awe.
Most had not experienced that war.
However, the reward of ten million units of food for the gray-colored dwarves and the hellish scene they had seen when they returned to Bloodhoof City were enough for them to maintain the highest degree of respect for this human from the surface.
“Long time no see, Sel.”
Richard smiled back at Sel. He clenched his fist in the air.
After they exchanged a few pleasantries, Sel excitedly pointed at a merchant group that had just entered the city.
“I’ve followed the method we discussed last time these past few days and purchased several weapons and equipment from the outside world.
“Other forces sent these caravans to do business.”
Passion shrouded his tone.
“Lord Richard, the amount of this deal is far beyond my expectations.”
Richard’s eyes brightened.
He didn’t expect Sel to be so efficient. It had only been a short while, and he had already gained something.
He patted his chest and promised.
“No matter how many pieces of equipment you have, I’ll take care of them all.”
He then added.
“Use food to exchange for all of them!”
There were tens of billions of players in the market. Even if they sold all the weapons and equipment in the underworld, it wouldn’t cause much of a stir.
It could not satisfy the hungry players at all.
Sel’s heart burst with joy when he heard these bold words.
His runes-engraved face revealed a smile brighter than a chrysanthemum.
“Praise the gods!”
The goddess of luck must have blessed him to meet such a rich man!
The two looked at each other and laughed in a carefree manner.
After Sel returned to his senses, he seemed to have thought of something. And his tone suddenly became solemn.
“Lord Richard, you helped Bloodhoof City defend against the enemy last time. And you’ve made an enormous contribution.
“The food you brought even helped Bloodhoof City tide over its crisis.
“The elders of the Bloodhoof City Council have unanimously decided to invite you to be the Vice-President of the Bloodhoof City Council.
“We’re willing to deepen our friendship with Twilight City and share both honor and disgrace…”
Richard was astonished for a moment. He hadn’t expected this.
Just as he was about to speak, a system notification suddenly rang.
[Ding~ Your strength has won the recognition and respect of the dungeon barbarian soldiers. They have unanimously decided to invite you to become the Vice-President of the Bloodhoof City Council after a discussion. (Note: after you agree, you will unlock a new attribute–glorious level.)]
