Chapter 237: Chapter 198: Dungeon Trade

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Richard looked down at the underground city from the sky.

He was a little surprised.

This city was more like a war fortress than a city.

The city wall was more than 40 meters high. There were all kinds of siege crossbows on it.

Each of the siege crossbows had a striking bloodhoof mark. It was unforgettable.

These siege crossbows were different from the weapons on the ground. They were all made of steel, and their ferocious appearance was chilling.

Even the giant dragons would not be able to resist their hunting.

Behind the city wall, there were arrow towers of different heights. At a glance, there seemed to be more than 200 of them.

Between the gaps of the arrow towers, several catapults with strange shapes were ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.

They were armed to the teeth.

After they flew into the city, Richard immediately noticed special crossbow arrows on the arrow towers aimed at the air. Those changeable angle crossbow arrows had targeted him.

The other party unsurprisingly dared to let him enter with such swagger.

It was not an exaggeration to describe this defensive force as a dragon’s den or a tiger’s den.

The skeleton blood dragon slowly descended on a broad square in the city under the leadership of the wyverns in heavy armor.

They aimed more than thirty arrow towers at them. They would immediately attack if there were any hostility.

Sel Bloodhoof felt more pressure than anyone else when he looked at the broken mechanical puppet.

As a level-15 hero, his strength was the absolute king in this area.

However, he seemed like an ant standing at a giant dragon in front of this mechanical puppet. It seemed like it could break at any time.

The aura the other party emitted made Sel wants to escape uncontrollably.

Dangerous, extremely dangerous.

However, as the lord of Bloodhoof City, how could he retreat?

He took a deep breath.

He raised his head to look at the giant puppet and said in a clear voice.

“Human lord from the surface, I am the ruler of Bloodhoof City. Now, you can leave this mechanical puppet. I can guarantee that you…”

Before he could finish his sentence.

‘Whoosh!’

The enormous limit puppet disappeared into thin air.

A sand-surrounded human that floated in midair reflected in his pupils.

He wore a white robe with golden edges. His heroic aura was dazzling.

Under everyone’s gaze, Richard slowly landed on the ground.

He looked at the ruler of the barbarians in the dungeon.

The two lords of the two forces looked at each other.

Time seemed to have slowed down at this moment.

Judging from the danger his body sensed without looking at his attributes, this hero was supremely strapping.

Murderous threats filled every cell in his body.

He opened his attributes panel.

[Sel Bloodhoof, Level 15, Top hero, Potential B-rank…]

As expected.

He watched as the mechanical puppet disappeared without a trace. He forcefully suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.

He brought the higher-ups beside him to Richard.

For the second time, he took the initiative to speak.

“A human powerhouse from the surface, Sel Bloodhoof, greets you.”

One must maintain sufficient respect when dealing with a powerhouse. It was an eternal and unchanging rule.

The strength displayed by the other party was enough for Bloodhoof City to treat him as an honored guest.

Richard also withdrew his probing gaze and responded with a smile.

“Richard, the Lord of Twilight City, Lord Sel. I’m delighted to be a guest in your city.”

The frozen atmosphere relaxed slightly with the courtesy of the two people.

“I’ve already heard about your background from my subordinates. May I know what you need when you’re underground?”

Richard was stunned for a moment. Did they get to purpose so quickly?

He did not hesitate and went straight to the point.

“I heard that Bloodhoof City needs food and strong alcohol. Coincidentally, my territory has ample supplies.

“So, I’ve come here for trade.”

For trade.

These words made the surrounding barbarian higher-ups somewhat moved.

Previously, they wanted to snatch him because they did not know his strength.

The power he displayed made the barbarians feel he had equal status to trade with them.

The underground world was more naked than the rules on the surface — because there were no rules here, no justice or evil. Only profit and survival.

The strong could have everything.

Richard belonged to the ranks of the strong… At least to them.

The smile on Sel Bloodhoof’s face also became more sincere.

“Bloodhoof City welcomes all kinds of friends, please.”

As Sel Bloodhoof spoke, he gestured to the hall behind him.

Richard nodded slightly. He motioned for Xina and Gunter to follow behind him.

This time, he only brought two heroes and 30 skeleton blood dragons.

The remaining troops were in the underground passage. Richard hid a part of the troops in the Tibetan soldier card in his arms.

He could drive the extraordinary hunter to leave or escape through the sand if something went wrong.

It would be easy to target them if they brought a troop with them and had malicious intentions.

The group entered a banquet hall with a long table.

Richard sat on the left side of the long table, and Sel Bloodhoof sat opposite him.

Other than that, everyone stood to the side. Although there were many empty seats, no one else sat down.

Although only three people faced all the enemies, Richard’s expression didn’t change.

That confident attitude and calm bearing made all the dungeon barbarians give him another sidelong glance.

When Sel Bloodhoof saw this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

In his heart, he was sure that this human lord’s territory was not small.

This bearing wasn’t something that a mechanical puppet could bring.

It had to have been through countless grand scenes.

He looked directly at the other party.

He said in a solemn tone.

“Lord Richard, Bloodhoof City has always welcomed trade.

“But I wonder, what do you need?”

Food and strong wine were well-deserved hard currency in the underground world.

But he needed to know what the other party wanted.

Could Bloodhoof City afford it?

Richard also saw through these people’s personalities and spoke bluntly.

“Mithril, Lord Sel. I need Bloodhoof City’s mithril.”

“I heard Bloodhoof City is offering mithril as a reward for food. I’m here for this.”

Sel heaved a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he could afford this price.

“Bloodhoof City’s mithril ore still has 50 units. Our mission requirement is — 500,000 units of food.”

Richard frowned slightly when he heard this number.

‘Mithril ore… 50 units?’

Ore was not mithril. Just like iron ore, one could obtain real mithril obtain after refining.

He did not know how many units of mithril could be refined out of these 50 units.

Moreover, each unit of ore was sold for 10,000 units of food.

One hundred acres of sand wheat could only produce 100,000 units of food in a month.

This could only be exchanged for 10 units of ore.

He was a little unsure if this price was too high or too low…

Moreover, the price of wheat was currently purchased from the market. Including the 30% handling fee, roughly 10 units of resources could buy one unit.

Five hundred units of food for 5 million units of resources.

He seemed to be unable to afford this money…

Behind him, Xina’s eyes lit up when she heard this, and her breathing quickened.

She seemed to want to immediately go forward and agree on Richard’s behalf.

Five hundred units of food could buy 50 units of mithril ore? The desert god, how could there be such a good thing?

Richard didn’t notice Xina’s expression, and his voice sank.

“It’s too high, Lord Sel. You should know the value of this food.”

“Mithril is not mithril. You should know how much 50 units can be extracted.”

Sel frowned.

Although mithril was indeed valuable, food was also rare underground.

Normally, he would not sell it. But now, they could not use mithril as food…

After he thought for a while, he gritted his teeth.

“At least 400,000 units of food. One less unit is not enough!”

Richard wanted to say something but suddenly felt a tug on his back. He immediately swallowed his words.

He did not look back at the slightly excited Xina and smiled.

“Deal, Lord Sel. This price is very fair. I want this deal to be a witness to our friendship.”

Sel immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Four hundred thousand units of food were far from enough to solve the food crisis in Bloodhoof City, but it could still loosen the rope around their necks a little.

Richard was not happy after Sel Bloodhoof agreed. Instead, his heart was a little heavy.

Four hundred units of food were not so much in Twilight City…

But since Xina had indicated, the price would not be a loss.

The problem was, how could he get so much food?

Even if he robbed now, he would not be able to get so much. He did not know how much time it would take to kill monsters…

No, he couldn’t use the old ways. He had to think of a new way.

Richard’s thoughts spun wildly.

How could he earn money the fastest? Or, who in this world was the easiest to earn money?

The moment this thought arose in his mind.

The answer appeared in his mind.

‘Players.

‘A huge number of players!’

With this thought in mind, he thought of an excellent plan in a few breaths.

As long as he did it well, not to mention 400,000 units of food, even 4,000,000 units wouldn’t be a problem.

As long as the dungeon barbarian in front of him cooperated…

However, judging from the other party’s appearance, they definitely couldn’t refuse him.

In an instant, he looked at the ruler of Bloodhoof City as if he was looking at an unprecedentedly fat bull.

Intense temptation filled his tone.

“Lord Sel, when I entered Bloodhoof City, I discovered that its defenses were extremely perfect. I imagine that Bloodhoof City must be very skilled at forging weapons, right?

“I still have a large amount of food to trade…

“Are there any obsolete or surplus weapons that can be sold in Bloodhoof City?

“It doesn’t need to be too top-tier. There are even some that are damaged.”

When Sel heard this, his eyes sparked.

Was this human lord in front of him the savior sent by god?

He had plenty of broken weapons in his warehouse!

“Yes, as long as you replace them with food, I’ll buy as much as you want!”

Richard’s tone was even more straightforward.

“As long as you sell, I’ll buy as much as you want!”
