When Onyx entered the Lord’s mansion, the guardian mummies moved wooden boxes filled with gunpowder to the warehouse.

He looked at the boxes of alchemy gunpowder that emitted strong mana fluctuations.

His face showed some emotion.

Who would have thought that a small force with only a few dozen units two months ago would grow to such a level?

He could only describe what he saw and heard in Twilight City in one word– exaggerated.

Such a growth rate was simply unheard of.

He would not imagine how much Twilight City would develop in a year or two.

He felt like he had witnessed history in a daze.

Perhaps, one day in the future.

This unremarkable territory would become an existence one could not ignore in the desert.

Furthermore, Onyx had a strange feeling that his premonition might come true.

After he took a few deep breaths, he forcefully suppressed his inner thoughts.

He took a few steps forward, bowed, and sighed.

“Lord Richard, I didn’t expect the Twilight City’s troop to be so sharp. Congratulations! You’ve gained a lot this time.”

He didn’t have much reaction to these supplies… He can see anything in the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce.

In comparison, the mysterious operation of the two residents that had become hero units in the blink of an eye attracted him more.

Richard said a few words of courtesy, and then he seemed to have thought of something.

“Onyx, does the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce have high-quality wine recipes for sale?”

Onyx was stunned for a moment. Then, he said with a strange expression.

“You may not know, but fine wine has always been a high-profit product.

“There’s no one willing to sell good wine recipes. Even if some were willing to sell, the price would be ridiculously high.

“The wine recipes on the market are all low-quality wines with no value …”

Richard immediately gave up on the idea of buying the recipe.

He had also looked for wine recipes in the trading market on the forum, but they were all ordinary wine recipes with no unique characteristics. Most of them were not suitable for the desert. The desert has a few production materials.

It would be fine in an area with rich land. But the desert was too barren with prodigious tight production.

That was why he was so keen on cultivating his heroes. Only with the ability to research and develop could he adapt to local conditions and create products exclusive to Twilight City.

The yellow sand robe was the best example.

Onyx looked at Richard, who was deep in thought. Onyx finally asked the question that had just bewildered him after a wisp of hesitation.

“Lord Richard, I just saw two ordinary citizens advance into heroes…”

Richard sensed that Onyx tried to be careful. It was as if Onyx was afraid of offending his gaze. Richard smiled.

“I found three magic items with special powers in the ancient ruins.

“It can directly advance an ordinary-level person into a B-rank hero. I only have one left.”

Onyx was both envious and regretful when he heard that.

Unfortunately, an item would be great if it could directly advance a person into a hero.

Although the value of the ancient ruins was still considerable, it was not short-term cooperation.

Onyx retracted his thoughts from this thought for a moment and said seriously.

“Lord Richard, thank you for the hospitality these past few days.”

“We will return to Solan City tomorrow morning. The president is still waiting for me to return with the Desert Crown Honey.

He then added.

“The yellow sand robe is also a perfect item. I hope that the next time we come, we can make a bigger deal.”

“Onyx. Twilight City will not disappoint you.”

When Richard said this, it piqued his interest.

“I’ll be visiting Solan City in a while. How can I contact you then?”

The desert had trapped Richard for a long time.

It had been almost three months. Richard saw the outside world because of the dungeon instance.

And what puzzled Richard the most was… Why had he not discovered the existence of other players in such an enormous death desert?

According to Onyx, there were quite some players in Solan City.

Onyx didn’t ponder about it. He took out a wooden token with an engraved vulture flower pattern.

“You just need to take this wooden token to any of the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce in Solan City. I will immediately receive the news.”

Richard nodded and put the wooden token into the system space.

Onyx seemed to have thought of something and hesitated.

“If you leave the desert, it’s best not to ride on those undead dragons…”

Richard didn’t understand.

“Why?”

Onyx laughed bitterly.

“This desert was once the battlefield of the ancient gods. That is why primitives named the desert of death after death. Vengeful wronged souls of countless gods cursed this place.

“The longer you fly in the desert of death, the more likely you will become disoriented and automatically flaunt to the supremely murderous dead zone.

“Even the undead are no exception.

“That’s also why the Phoenix-Tail Flower Chamber of Commerce doesn’t use flying mounts to transport goods.

“We once paid a painful price.”

He then added.

All the Chambers of Commerce that didn’t believe this fact paid the price.

Richard looked up at the dragon in the sky.

His expression was a little strange.

‘Become disoriented?’

It seemed like Richard didn’t need to be afraid…

‘The Twilight City residents wouldn’t get lost in the desert. Wasn’t it the territorial talent of Twilight City?’

This restriction did not affect him.

“I’ve seen quite a few flying beings in the desert…”

He had seen a level 15 desert dragon in front of the one-way teleportation gate that led to the dungeon.

Not to mention the vulture and the wyvern.

Onyx explained.

“Flying beings born in the desert can move within a certain range, but if they leave that area, they will also be cursed and lose themselves… The difference is that the stronger you are, the stronger your resistance.”

Richard’s heart began to beat faster.

However, this had little to do with him.

‘It’s your problem to become disoriented. What does it have to do with Twilight City?’

“I understand, Onyx. See you in Solan City.”

Onyx gave Richard a deep look.

“See you at Solan City, my friend.”

Jonah Thorin, Adele’s father, was a super blacksmith with a strong body that seemed to have the bloodline of giants. He stepped forward with shame, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed.

“I’m sorry, Lord Richard. I apologize for my recklessness.

“It was the wisest choice for Adele to join Twilight City. Thank you for your support.”

Richard looked at the extraordinary blacksmith who had been hung up and beaten. He nodded.

“Adele will be better off in Twilight City than anywhere else.”

Jonah Thorin took a deep breath. If he had not heard this, he would have scoffed at it.

But now, he nodded in agreement.

He had thought it would take a year or two for Adele to become a unique blacksmith, but she broke through in two months. Didn’t this mean anything?

Not to mention the resources that Adele had enjoyed while forging the dragon-hunting crossbow. His eyes were red with envy.

He didn’t expect this territory, which he had disdained before, to be so rich.

He was envious of her, but he did not say anything about letting Adele follow him on his return to Solan City.

After the two left, Richard looked at Adele, who seemed to have something to say, and smiled.

“What’s wrong?”

Adele said shyly.

“Lord Richard, can you give me a few boxes of those alchemy flames? I’ve just had an exchange with Master Brown, and I feel like I’ve gotten a lot of inspiration…”

Richard couldn’t help but laugh.

‘Good lord, she was a science fanatic.’

“I’ll get Karu to send you five boxes later. You can play with them however you want.”

He had always been generous with the treasure of Twilight City.

“But don’t delay the production of the dragon-hunting crossbow.”

The girl’s eyes instantly curved into crescents.

“Yes, my Lord!”

Richard only relaxed after the others left.

Deep in the underground world, his mind was constantly in a state of high tension.

His body could still take it, but he felt a little tired in his heart.

After he called the maids over and ordered them to prepare a sumptuous lunch, he slept comfortably on the bed.

He didn’t know how long he had slept. But he heard the system notification in his daze.

[Ding~ The system refreshed the spawn rate of all soldier types and nests. Lords, please recruit them.

[Ding~ This week is remarkably the disaster week –wild beasts out of the cage. Lords, please take note.]

When Richard opened his eyes, it was already dark outside.

He sat up and glanced at the system notification. It immediately humored his interest.

“The system refreshed the troop lairs?”

However, the disaster week notification at the end made him frown.

‘The beast was out of the cage… What the hell was this?’

He felt an inexplicable sense of uneasiness.

It was as if something terrible was about to happen.
