Xina heard the conversation outside and walked out also of the Russian olive forest.

This hero had been in a shallow mood because she had not found a way in the ruins to break the seal.

When she saw the bees, it seemed to have prompted her mood, and reflections of strong determination filled her eyes.

“Lord Richard, Twilight City needs a lot of water. Why don’t you plant it next to this spring?”

Richard smiled. “Who said this city doesn’t have any spring water? I put a spring in the center.”

Hina was stunned… ‘Was it so easy to get a god-given item?’

The system notification suddenly rang in his ear before the hundred battle-veteran could say anything.

[Ding~ Scorpion warrior’s basic attack has been successfully researched. It had enhanced into a territory characteristic. You can go to the blacksmith’s shop and freely increase the scorpion warrior’s attack.]

‘Scorpion warrior’s basic attack has been successfully researched and developed?’

Richard’s eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth curled up.

‘Adele is indeed a treasure!!’

‘This developed A-rank hero would be perfectly amazing!’

He had personally experienced how much the bandaged mummy’s strength had increased after its reinforcement.

He wondered how much strength would the reinforced scorpion warrior increase.

In his heart rose jubilant anticipation.

Richard looked at Xina and his eyes swept across the long severely-gapped sword in her hand.

“Xina, you may need a long sword tailored for you… Twilight City happens to have a blacksmith with amazing forging skills.”

Xina glanced at the cross-shaped sword in her hand. She had long lost the weapon she brought out from the Krina tribe in her previous battles.

Her heart warmed.

“Thank you, my Lord.”

Richard nodded and didn’t say anything else. He brought Xina back to the territory.

They went straight to the blacksmith shop.

When they entered the research room, Adele was excitedly looking up and down in front of a scorpion warrior with two iron pincers that shone a metallic luster.

It was as if a master of art was admiring its meticulously carved work.

When she saw Richard’s arrival, she immediately said excitedly.

“Lord Richard, I’ve already discovered how to reinforce the scorpion warrior!

“Praise the god of forging!

“Perhaps, it won’t be long before I can break through to special-level blacksmith. I’m just one step away…”

Richard was full of smiles.

He was not stingy with his praise.

“Adele, your talent is enough to dim the stars! Let alone special-level blacksmith. It would only take some time before you reach special-level blacksmith.”

As Richard spoke, he looked at the scorpion warrior beside him with a pair of dazzling iron pincers.

“Is this your masterpiece?”

“Yes, my Lord!”

An intense pride appeared on Adele’s face as she reached out her hand to gesture at the scorpion warrior.

It was like a child showing off in front of their parents a 100-point result in the final exam.

“The most powerful thing about the scorpion warriors is their attack.

“I conducted a similar study on the scorpion warriors using my knowledge and experience in studying the bandaged mummies.

“From the body part where they exert their strength to the maximum attack range, the maximum attack power, and the maximum endurance…

“I tested it in detail.

“After the experiment, I reinforced their iron pincers according to the scorpion warrior’s characteristics.”

Adele pointed at the scorpion warriors shone with a metallic luster as if she counted her family jewels.

“Reinforcement is not achieved by simply covering their bodies with steel. They are just warriors wearing a layer of iron skin. It’s better to build them a set of armor.

“In this process, we need to calculate the point of attack, the angle of damage to the enemy, and even our own attacking habits.

“After the experiment has produced several necessary data, we will summarize the data. Finally, we will carry out the second phase of the experiment, revise it, summarize it, and experiment again… This cycle will continue until we reach the ideal state. Only then will the research and development be considered a success.”

What Andrea said gave Richard a great understanding of her work.

This seemed to have a lot of similarities with modern laboratories.

However, there was no so-called high-tech here, and the properties of the various materials were also different.

Magic and alchemy technology were the mainstream of the “Shining Era”.

With some curiosity, Richard opened the attributes panel of the scorpion warrior.

One of the skills with the prefix ‘enhanced’ made him exceedingly overjoyed.

[Enhanced Powerful Iron Pincers (D-rank) — The sharpness of the two pincers increases by 70%. The strength of the swing of the two pincers increases by 50%. When the hook is used, the explosion property is obtained. And the armor of the opponent can be instantly torn apart.]

Powerful Iron Pincers (D class, the sharpness of the two pincers increases by 50%. The strength of the swing of the two pincers increases by 50%.]

The contrast between the two enhancements was obvious.

This enhancement allowed the already sturdy scorpion warrior to gain even more paralyzing lethality.

Richard was in a great mood.

It should be this way.

Then, as if he had thought of something. He reached out and took out 20 fire elemental cores from the system space.

He handed them to Adele.

After the blacksmith took them, he explained their uses.

Finally, he said.

“Since you can reinforce the mummy and the scorpion warrior with steel, can you use these fire elemental cores on them?”

[Fire Elemental Core]

[Level: 1-star]

[Characteristics: A magic item that can enchant items or equipment, giving them fire damage.]

[Description: An item only fire element can produce.]

‘The fire elemental core’s characteristic is to enchant equipment and items…

‘Why couldn’t it be used on the iron pincers of the scorpion warrior?

‘These soldiers do not have pain perception. So they couldn’t be damaged no matter how they played with it.’

Richard’s whimsical suggestion warmly disturbed Adele’s thoughts.

Her eyes began to shine, and she was eager to try.

“Lord, I can try. This idea is mind-blowing…”

The best blacksmiths could even forge divine weapons. Maybe, Adele couldn’t enchant with bare hands, but using materials for equipment wasn’t a problem for her.

Richard nodded with a smile. He liked Adele’s unconventional personality.

After Adele received the approval, she immediately took the fire elemental core and brought the scorpion warrior to the operating table.

Richard initially thought results would not be in the short term. But he was quickly attracted by the blacksmith’s actions.

Adele placed the fire elemental core on the scorpion Warrior’s arm. After carefully observing it for a moment, she took out a translucent glass bottle that contained a large amount of green liquid from a nearby storage cabinet.

Then, she dripped two drops on the fire elemental core.

‘Sizzle! Sizzle!’

It was like sulfuric acid dripping onto the ground. It gave off a pungent smell.

Adele was quick-witted. She put down the green liquid glass bottle and took out a yellow liquid glass bottle.

Following the previous method, she dripped it on the fire elemental core.

In the next second, the solid fire elemental core melted into a pool of liquid like ice and snow met a raging fire.

The liquid flowed slowly and covered the scorpion warrior’s iron pincers.

The iron pincers that reflected the metallic luster were quickly dyed red. The area was like red ink dripping into a clear pool and spreading.

After a dozen breaths, a large red spot appeared on the scorpion warrior’s iron pincers, which was particularly eye-catching.

With Adele’s calm gaze, she continued to take out the second fire elemental core and operated it in sequence.

The scorpion warrior’s two iron pincers had a unique red color after using up to ten fire elemental cores.

Raging flamed seemed to have surged on them.

[Ding~ Adele has used the fire elemental core to reinforce the scorpion warrior successfuly…]

After the system’s upgrade sound rang out, Richard’s disposition instantly cascaded.

[Enhanced Powerful Iron Pincers (D-rank) — The sharpness of the two pincers has increased by 90%. When swinging the two pincers, it increases strength by 50% and carries fire elemental damage. When using the front hook attack, it gains the flame explosion characteristic. It can instantly tear apart the opponent’s armor and ignite the opponent’s body.]

After being enhanced, not only did the pincers increase their sharpness by 20%. But it also allowed the scorpion warrior’s attacks to carry additional fire elemental damage.

Furthermore, the flame explosion characteristic could also be said to be overbearing.

After two reinforcements, the scorpion warrior had already walked in the direction of becoming a monster.

Reinforcing a scorpion warrior required ten fire elemental cores, and it had 650 of them in its hands… Not only the scorpion warriors could be enhanced by Adele. All the troops in Twilight City could be as well.

“If I had known this was so useful, I would have let the Fire Elemental Lord trade 500,000 cores…

“No, I must establish business relations with the Fire Elemental Lord in the future. The fire elemental cores aren’t important. Mainly because I like to make friends…”
