Chapter Twenty Quiet Waves
Nero said patiently: "Don't mess around. Shop - Book.8.) If any strong man wants to grow, he must first survive. If you live longer than your opponent, you will naturally be stronger than him. This Master Richard is now the leading architect of the entire Holy Alliance. I have paid a great price to get such an opportunity from him. Follow my arrangements, this will be good for you."
"I...but...this seems to be useless on the battlefield." The young woman argued.
"It is the greatest use to survive on the battlefield."
"I……"
"It's settled!" Nero didn't allow her to say anything more.
Richard looked around and said, "These requirements can be achieved. But, to what extent do they need?"
Nero gritted his teeth: "Don't consider the materials, be as powerful as possible!"
Richard looked at Nero and said for a moment: "If you don't consider the materials, you may not be able to afford it even if you have a 10% discount. Besides, the bottleneck is not here, but on her. I feel that she may not be able to bear a set of all second-level suits."
Nero had obviously known it for a long time, and a trace of gloom flashed across his face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Just do your best! There is no need to worry about the price and materials."
If some expensive materials are used in the construction, the bearing capacity requirements will be reduced, but the price will be rising sharply.
Richard pondered, and performed seven or eight consecutive detection techniques on the young woman, and finally said, "It should be possible. You can see the design drawings in the afternoon. Let's make a decision at that time."
By the afternoon, Richard had completed a suit called "Wild Traveler".
This is a four-piece set, which includes a third-level configuration and has been specially optimized to reduce the bearing capacity requirement. The set ability is an active defense ability similar to the wild barrier, and can withstand two full-strength attacks from ordinary holy realms.
Nero was very impressed and decided on the spot that it was the same. However, when he saw Richard's smile, he shouted terrible. Sure enough, after hearing the price quoted by Richard, Nero's face immediately turned from green to green.
The entire set of suits was optimized for carrying capacity, which meant that the price had doubled. The price of nearly 10 million made Nero feel that the fat all over his body was trembling. In Richard's opinion, this kind of optimization was completely unnecessary, but without this kind of optimization, this set could not be loaded on the young woman.
What surprised Richard even more was that Nero gritted his teeth and agreed to the price. Richard looked at Nero, sighed, and said, "Your decision is really not smart. Don't you think about it anymore?"
Nero smiled bitterly: "I know. But... what else can I do? As a man, I will always meet a woman who will make you stupid. Besides, I just occasionally, well, I will definitely be stupid occasionally."
Richard suddenly moved his heart. He had heard this sentence in another person. But that sentence was what the man once said to his mother.
"Okay! That's it, I know you can afford it." Richard looked at the calendar and pointed to one of them and said, "I will go back to Norland in six days, and you can get the construction then!"
Nero nodded, then shook his head again, sighing: "Can you afford it? Alas!" But he didn't say anything, but left.
After seeing Nero away, Richard waited for another mysterious guest.
This is a burly man with the strength of the Holy Realm. Although in the eyes of Richard, who had seen many strong men, his personal force was not outstanding, but his body naturally smelled of iron blood, which was obviously a man who came down from the battlefield. The man's muscles were as iron as iron, and even his movements were hard.
He saluted Richard first, handed over a thick document, and then sat down.
Richard looked through the information in his hand and asked, "Who are you in the Anan family?"
"Du Peng Anan."
Richard looked up in surprise and said, "It's the younger brother of the patriarch of Anan's family, Du Peng, the one who claims to be the best war?"
Du Peng Anan said: "It's just the one who is the least afraid of death in war."
Richard nodded and said, "It seems that the Anan family is very sincere."
"This is a thing that is beneficial to both of us, so we must be sincere."
Richard smiled and said, "It seems that I did not choose the wrong partner."
Du Peng said sternly: "When Anan's flag is planted on the floating island, you will truly know that you have chosen us wrong!"
"I'm very confident, but my conditions are really harsh. Don't you think about it seriously?"
Du Peng said resolutely: "No need! My brother and I discussed it, just say that there is no profit in the first few years when entering the floating island."
Richard put away the documents and said, "Okay! That's it. You guys will deal with Schumpeter and other people who may be blocked, and I'm responsible for dealing with the interfering army of the Mensa family."
Du Peng hesitated for a moment and asked, "His Excellency Richard, what if the Mensa family sends all their troops?"
"That's the war between Archmond and Mensa." Richard's tone was very plain, but it made people hear his determination to win without hesitation.
"Okay! If Lord Richard can block Mensa's army, Anan will be sure to defeat Schumpeter and other enemies. We should even have the spare time to support you!"
Richard smiled and said, "That would be better."
Du Peng said: "Okay! Our family's preparations have been completed. You can start an army immediately after I go back!"
"Wait a minute!" Richard called Du Peng and said, "To avoid accidents, I can lend you a hundred of the most elite knights."
"Is it the Anfeng Knight?" Du Peng was both surprised and happy.
"Yes. As long as the Anan family pays enough, I can support you with all my strength."
In the battle of Black Rose Castle, Richard's battle to defeat the Knights of Earl Goliath with the Anfeng Knight, and the name Anfeng Knight has spread all over the world. Now he can get a total of 100 Anfeng Knights, which surprised Du Peng, who is used to leading the army to fight.
Richard and Du Peng finalized some details before sending away the famous general who had just returned from the alien plane.
Before Richard could have time to rest, the waiter walked in and said that a mysterious visitor appeared. Richard's status at this time was already extraordinary. He frowned and said unhappy: "Mysterious guest? Didn't make an appointment?"
The waiter showed panic on his face and said quickly: "Sir, what she took out is the most advanced magic token of the royal family, so I came to inform you."
"Royal?" Richard thoughtfully, then waved his hand and said, "Let her come in."
After a moment, as Richard expected, the princess of the royal family was revealed and covered with a tight hood.
Richard asked her to sit down, and then said quietly: "You showed your identity, which makes me embarrassed."
Lei Ya said lightly: "We are not children anymore, why should we play this mysterious trick? I came to you today and just gave in. I will give in completely. You can just tell me what I need to do!"
Richard thought about it very seriously and said, "No."
Lei Ya's calmness disappeared immediately, and she was about to jump up and said in a lost voice: "No matter how much I say I am a powerful person in the Holy Land, you actually said that I am useless to you!"
Richard smiled and said, "I think you are very beautiful."
"You!" Lei Ya was so angry that her face turned red, and she wanted to pounce on her and attack. Then she figured out what Richard meant, that is, her force was not as useful as her face.
She slowly calmed down, but in fact, she had already expected this situation, so she asked coldly: "Then you want me. Well, when is it now, how long is it to last?"
Richard sighed and said, "Your Highness, if you don't have any other more creative suggestions, then go back first! I'm very busy."
Lei Ya was speechless for a moment, and after a moment, she let out a breath that was accumulated in her chest and said, "You... aren't you the one who wants me?"
"Not interested!" Richard's words were extremely lethal.
"You!..." Lei Ya and Richard were all desperately trying. But in the end, she had to stand up and prepare to leave. Before pushing the door out, Lei Ya suddenly turned around and asked, "Then what should I do so that you can be satisfied?"
"I really don't have any ideas now. But Your Highness, if you have the intention, you can always find a way, right?" said Richard.
Reya's chest was ups and downs, and after a moment, he said: "I should have shown enough sincerity this time. Can I make Raymond live a better life?"
"He is doing well now." Richard's expression forced Reya to let go of half of her worries. She asked Richard about the next time she returned to Norland and left.
Lei Ya walked away confusedly, but she was also determined.
Richard knew that she would always find a way. For some reason, something complicated suddenly appeared in his heart.
Richard looked at the time. There were still two hours before he returned to Faro. The matters scheduled to be handled today have been completed, but he could not leave in advance because the magic materials he planned to bring to Faro were not ready. Two sets of customized sets, plus some other income during this period, made Richard's total income reach as much as 30 million, but most of them have been spent on magic materials, construction of Yashanling, and equipment of the procurement troops.
After nothing happened, Richard took a book from the bookshelf and slowly started reading it. The title of this book is "Abyss".
Time passed by the pages of the book, and two hours passed without realizing it. Richard seemed to have installed a magic clock in his brain, closed the book on time, and then left Norland.
Richard did not realize that he liked silence and silence now, and he talked less and less. Only when socializing, he acted like a nobleman and showed the rough and bold momentum that the Archmond family was famous for. But after a person, he was more willing to think quietly alone.
He always feels that there is not enough time and occasionally feels tired, but he does not realize that this is the result of the gradual accumulation of responsibility and pressure.
Richard's auction ended, and the situation of the Holy Alliance became slightly calmer. But the nobles did not lack topics for talks, because the Anan family suddenly became active again, and they mobilized their troops to expand their troops to prepare for war. Then, the Anan family ignored Mensa's warning and officially issued a declaration of marching into Ukiyo-e!
PS: It’s really not easy for his grandmother! This is an additional update, and there is still a long way to go.
