Lord Of The World: I Become The Lord Of The Desert From The Start

459 Chapter 352: Five-Stars Treasure – Ice Spirit Statue [2/3]

This snow goddess had some tricks up her sleeves. By doing so, she would gain fame and make money, and at the same time, she could spread her faith and expand her influence. It was killing two birds with one stone.

Rebecca took out the translucent ice contract as she said this.

Richard opened his attribute panel, and after he confirmed that the effect was as the man had said and that the gods would witness it, he felt relieved.

Both parties signed their names after they wrote down the terms.

!!

Richard could faintly feel that the snow goddess constantly watched him the moment they signed the contract.

A pair of indifferent eyes seemed to glance in his direction.

Richard’s holy aura still made her sigh in admiration. Although, she had turned and left.

The kobold god was nothing compared to the snow goddess…

The contract stipulated that all the fire dragon rabbit fur the Twilight City produced within five years would belong to Rebecca. In addition, they had to provide at least 10,000 units of rabbit fur every month for half a year. After half a year, Twilight City couldn’t keep more than 10% of the rabbit fur and couldn’t sell the remaining to the Ice Empire.

As for Rebecca, she had to pay ice spirit statue and a frost mine located in the eternal land of frost.

The two sides agreed that if Twilight City did not accept the frost mine, they would only provide the production of the fire dragon rabbit’s fur for half a year.

The terms were explicit and straightforward. It did not include nonsense. However, the restrictions’ effect was almost absolute because of the gods’ existence.

No one would risk violating the terms and the consequences of god’s punishment.

Of course, it would be a different story if he wanted to court death.

After the transaction.

Richard ground the ice spirit statue in his hand. He was pleased.

It was a 5-stars treasure. Typically, one could only relax a little in the dungeon and use points to exchange for it.

Only by taking enormous risks in the primary plane and conquering some high-level maps would one have a chance to obtain it.

Moreover, this treasure would also make up for the defenseless in Twilight City.

In the future, there would be no need to worry about the enemy that directly crosses the city wall and attacks the city.

Richard brought Rebecca around the farm after their business.

The deal supremely satisfied Rebecca as she looked at the energy-filled fire dragon rabbits that walked around and the gnomes that took the opportunity to collect the rabbit fur the rabbits had shed.

It was the hope of the future…

Rebecca suddenly saw two gnomes come out with the roots of some unknown magic plants after she glanced for a while.

The roots exuded dense magic fluctuations and seemed to have just finished eating from the bite marks.

‘Was this the food the Twilight City used to feed the fire dragon rabbits?’

Rebecca and Klei threw a few glances.

The gnome had sharp eyes and immediately covered the roots with something. They did not allow them to see more.

Rebecca and Klei looked at each other in regret.

However, they didn’t look into it. The fact that they could feed the fire dragon rabbit that no one knew how to feed them was a secret. Naturally, Richard couldn’t let them know.

However, Klei quietly memorized the shape of those plants in his heart. He thought about asking someone to look for similar ones…

Richard ignored their gazes and continued to explain how difficult it was to raise the rabbit.

Ultimately, he brought the two to the Russian olive forest and let them taste the fresh Desert Crown Honey.

The superb taste made their hearts fly…

The sun set on the ground, and the moon hung high in the sky.

In the evening, after a sumptuous dinner to welcome Rebecca back…

Richard asked the question that had bugged him during the tea party after dinner.

“Lady Rebecca, it’s so cold in the Ice Empire. How do you grow your crops? And how do you prevent the food from the wild monsters’ destruction?”

This question caused Rebecca to be sparingly stunned, but after she thought about it, she did not hide anything and directly replied.

“Our food is a plant called ice fruit. It likes the cold and can take root in hard ice.”

“The Frostwolf territory has a piece of land in the Ice Mountain. It’s used to produce food and can feed millions of people.

“As for resisting the danger… They couldn’t enter unless the enemies outside attacked the entrance.”

Richard was a little disappointed. He could not use this experience as a reference.

He wanted to find a safe place, but the desert was arduous.

Richard explained the agricultural problems of Twilight City and asked after he pondered.

“Is there any way to prevent Twilight City’s agriculture from destruction during the war?”

Rebecca didn’t even think and decisively shook her head.

“The desert is too barren, and the terrain is too simple. It’s not suitable for agricultural development. It’s not even apt for territory development.

“Lord Richard, with your abilities, you could’ve developed even better outside the desert.”

Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

‘I’m here for you to advise and not to pour cold water on me.’

There were countless disadvantages to the desert. But the advantages were also distinct–the vast desert was a natural shield.

There were no enemies around that could threaten Twilight City.

It would give him enough time to develop.

...

He was still unwilling and continued after he pondered.

“How do human cities deal with this problem?”

Rebecca thought for a moment before she spoke.

“The geographical conditions of each territory are different, so it’s difficult to summarize.

“But generally, we still have to adapt to the local conditions. There will always be a way that suits our territory.”

“As far as I know, some powerful forces will distribute the production tasks and buy land around dozens of cities to share the risks.

“Some would sign long-term contracts with lords who own manors and will fixedly purchase them… What’s more, they’ve even occupied a plane to produce…”
