Pioneer Lord: A Leisurely Imperial Life

Chapter 208 Bad Habits Must Be Changed

It was said that the figure was not very accurate; the head was wide and round, like a large, crooked pumpkin, which was stuck on the shoulder, and the limbs were long but disproportionate.

--Shadow Clan!

Before Richard could get a good look, the other party suddenly roared, and the black mist surged violently, rushing towards the crowd.

"alert!"

With a low shout from Lina, the maids instantly raised their weapons and lined up in front of Richard.

Just as Xueyue narrowed her eyes, preparing to use [Beauty's Curse] to stop her opponent, Karl snorted coldly.

With a swift movement, his agility, enhanced by the fusion with the unicorn, exploded instantly. Without using the Neptune Greatsword, his fist, burning with white holy flames, smashed into the face of the Shadow Clan member without any fancy moves!

boom!

A dull, teeth-grinding thud of flesh colliding rang out, and the immense force jolted its round head back sharply.

They arrive fast, but they fly away even faster!

He crashed heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust, and the black mist twisted violently, as if he had been stunned.

"It's quite hard."

Karl shook his fist. After all, the opponent was a high-level superhuman. Although the punch was hard, it couldn't kill it directly.

The Shadow Clan member struggled to get up from the ground, but it had no chance. Four Chiffon Guards rushed in instantly, landing just in time to pin down the Shadow Clan member's limbs.

The immense strength of the fused unicorn rendered it completely immobile; no matter how much it roared, it could only be pinned to the ground in a spread-eagle position.

...

Richard stepped forward from the crowd, looking down at the strange creature.

"Can you speak?"

The only response he received was a meaningless, manic roar, his eyes fixed on Richard with a crimson light, filled with murderous intent and violence.

Richard tried to unleash a gentle magic, wanting to convey goodwill.

But the other party seemed to have been provoked, and struggled even more fiercely, so much so that the four guards swayed slightly when they exerted force with their limbs.

Richard sighed.

There is a friendly Shadow Clan member in the game who can talk to you and trigger story events, but according to the game's settings, only that one Shadow Clan member will be friendly to humans; the others cannot.

Pity.

Those who can appear in the magma layer are at least high-level extraordinary beings, and even further down, there may be star-level extraordinary beings.

If the other party is an intelligent race, and communication is possible, it would be best to subdue them and make them a subordinate race of Chiffon, which is better than killing them for nothing.

Those scarlet eyes held only pure destruction and madness, devoid of any trace of reason.

However, the contracted soul master is only a mid-level transcendent, and cannot even attempt to form a contract. Since that's the case, let's treat him as a monster!

"Kill him."

Four broadswords burning with holy flames swung down simultaneously, accompanied by a piercing shriek, and the Shadow Clan's body quickly melted into a pool of thick liquid that seeped into the soil.

A bead the size of a fist, emitting black mist, remained in place. The swirling black mist distorted the surrounding light, making it look eerie and peculiar.

This is the Essence of the Void.

This is a very rare magical material, and it is one of the main materials for many pieces of equipment. Interestingly, this thing can be mass-produced using real-world methods!

In the game, first build a functional building called a pond, and then put the Iridium fish you catch into it to raise.

Finally, adding Void Essence gives you a chance to transform an Iridium Fish into a Void Fish. An Iridium Fish can produce one Void Essence every four days.

The reason we didn't build a pond before was mainly because it was too much trouble.

The Zhouxue River is right outside my door, and the fish catch is plentiful. Who would want to squat by a small pond and fish all the time?

Only some anglers who can't find wild fishing spots or can't catch any fish will go to artificially raised fish ponds to satisfy their cravings and find some solace.

Richard instructed Lina to store the Void Essence and the mining team to collect some ores for research. Then, Richard led the entire assault team back to the surface.

The environment in the magma layer was more severe than expected, and in addition to the Shadow Clan, other new types of advanced monsters appeared.

Everyone is exhausted now, so let's go back and rest for a while. We can continue our assault after the second-generation weapons are fully equipped.

...

The soldiers were fine; they could fly up. But the gathering team couldn't. In order to get them back as soon as possible, Karl simply let them experience the fate of serfs again.

The serfs were tied up separately with hemp ropes, and then soldiers took two of them away by themselves. The serfs, who were tied up, were quite excited and could even laugh.

As everyone emerged from the mine entrance and saw the long-lost, dazzling sunlight again, breathing in the dry yet free air of the wasteland, they all felt as if they had been transported to another world.

Fortunately, nothing went wrong in the past three days. Richard breathed a sigh of relief and ordered everyone to disperse and go back to rest.

He then scooped up the still-sleeping Betty in his arms, took to the air, and flew swiftly towards the lord's manor.

He suddenly recalled his life as a bull and horse king on Earth and couldn't help but criticize himself in his heart.

What the heck? I came to this other world to be a lord and enjoy life, so why am I all rolled up again? I need to break this bad habit.

Just as I finished washing up, I heard Lina come over to report that the Chief Minister had delivered the data reports collected over the past three days.

Just in time!

In just ten minutes, Wendy, who had been looking serious, was teased until she blushed and ran out of the lord's mansion, covering her face and screaming.

Richard laughed heartily as he watched her flee in disarray. He crossed his legs and began to examine the reports with a leisurely and smug look on his face.

First, there's the mine output. Because the ice layer was broken through, a large number of various materials were obtained, which can be used to select the prototype equipment for the second generation of weapons.

The first thing is weapons. The intermediate-level, basic broadsword can be replaced with the advanced magic weapon with ice attribute attacks, the Neptune Greatsword.

Next, the armor is still the intermediate-level plain [Steel Armor], but it will be replaced with the advanced magic armor [Ice Star Armor].

This armor is really a great thing. In addition to providing significantly better defense than steel armor, it also comes with a slowing aura.

As long as enemy arrows or single-target spells come within five meters of the wearer, they will be slowed down by the aura, giving the wearer more time to dodge.

Moreover, its appearance is extremely cool, with silver ingots as the main material and gold ingots as the auxiliary material. The whole body is bright silver, and the arm guards, shoulder armor, and chest are inlaid with intricate golden runes.

The most eye-catching feature is that tiny, sparkling magical frost flowers continuously drift from the surface of the armor.

Not only does it have a perfect visual appeal, but it can also effectively resist high temperatures, making it highly suitable for the environment inside magma layers. Practical and aesthetically pleasing, it's a perfect combination.

The boots have been upgraded from [Iron Plate Boots] to [Frozen Earth Boots], both of which are high-level magic armor and come with two points of immunity.

Finally, regarding jewelry, each person will receive a new [Critical Strike Ring].

This ring has a pretty good function; it has a 10% chance to trigger a critical hit when attacking, which directly doubles the damage.
