457 Chapter 351: Frost Mine

Richard didn’t expect the sandstorm in the east to have such a vast impact on them.

It was just a 5-stars treasure, even though the system description said extremely rare.

However, the land of quicksand didn’t seem rare for Twilight City.

Richard raised his head after he read the letter twice. Rebecca and Klei didn’t want the lord to look down upon them, so they suppressed their emotions and put on the typical expression.

He didn’t find anything unusual.

The contents of the letter were very ordinary. But in the end, it emphasized the identity of Rebecca, the others, and the wealth of the Frostwolf clan. At the same time, it also stated what the other party wanted.

He was delighted with Onyx’s actions. This person was also sharp-witted.

It asked him to extort the Frostwolf family with the fire dragon rabbit… ‘Ehem! Ehem!’ ‘No, I mean a fair trade!’

“Lady Rebecca, Onyx has already stated your request in the letter.”

Richard’s face broke into a smile.

“Twilight City always welcomes friends who come to do business.

Rebecca took a deep breath when she heard this. She looked at Richard solemnly.

“Thank you for your trust, Lord Richard.

“I’m sure you’re aware of the Frostwolf family’s demand for the rabbit’s fur due to the environment of the Ice Empire.”

Rebecca paused for a moment. She looked at Richard’s noncommittal expression before she continued.

“That’s why I want to buy the rabbit fur of the fire dragon rabbit from Twilight City…

She quickly added.

“We are willing to buy at the price of the Desert Crown Robe.

Richard chuckled. It was the kind of rich man he liked to deal with.

Twilight City doesn’t mind selling the rabbit fur of the fire dragon rabbit to the outside world, but he needed to discuss the specific details of the deal again.

Business is business. And the two did not have a friendship. The chips that the other party took out exceeded enough.

Now that he had the initiative, he naturally had to fight for more benefits.

Rebecca was mentally prepared for this, so she had no objections. After some thought, she asked.

“Lord Richard, how many fire dragon rabbits are in Twilight City? How much rabbit fur can you provide every month…”

It was the most significant part. It wouldn’t be valuable if there weren’t enough, even if Rebecca got the deal.

Richard turned to look at the mummy guard.

“Go to the cultivation area and call Green Tooth over.”

“Yes, Lord.”

Richard had been too busy during this period. He had let his subordinates handle the agricultural area.

He didn’t keep an eye on them all the time.

Richard didn’t have to investigate such a small matter all day long.

Not long after, the skinny desert gnome entered the hall excitedly.

It immediately saluted Richard.

“I, Green Tooth, extend my most respectful greetings to the great lord, the conqueror of the underground world, and the ruler of the desert!”

It knelt on one knee as it spoke and placed its right hand on its chest.

It looked decent.

Richard didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the weak little gnome.

He waved his hand.

“You may rise.”

The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at the ugly face that smiled brighter than a chrysanthemum after it rose.

“Don’t laugh. You’re so ugly that you can scare the undead…

“Green Tooth, how many fire dragon rabbits have you reproduced?”

Green Tooth immediately puffed out his chest and said arrogantly.

“Lord, there are 875 adult fire dragon rabbits and 395 babies.

“The young rabbits are expected to mature in the middle of next month.”

There were already thousands of them!

Richard nodded in satisfaction.

“The fire dragon rabbit’s reproduction speed was indeed startling.

“However, why did the number of young rabbits decrease?

Green Tooth quickly explained. It was like it had seen through the lord’s doubts.

“Lord, I’ve told you before that the fire dragon rabbit can’t reproduce without limit because of its bloodline. After a certain number, the reproduction speed will slow down.

“Once the reproduction speed slows down, the king of the fire dragon rabbit is about to be born.

“After the emergence of the king, the reproduction of the fire dragon rabbit will enter the sluggish period. Then the number of offspring will drop to one or two.

“The fire dragon rabbit would lose control of its bloodline and enter self-destruction without the king.

“This race is estimated to reproduce to about 3,000, and then it will give birth to the king…”

Rebecca wasn’t happy when she heard this. Instead, she was greatly disappointed.

‘What could a thousand fire dragon rabbits do? Even 3,000 yuan was not enough.’

Even if she killed all of them and took their rabbit fur, she could only arm a few large teams, which was much worse than she expected.

When Richard got the answer he wanted, he didn’t ask any more questions. He waved his hand, signaling for Green Tooth to leave.

He then looked at Rebecca and said softly.

“Lady Rebecca, from now on, Twilight City could provide 1,000 fire dragon rabbit fur monthly.”

It startled Rebecca. She asked in confusion.

“You can provide 1,000 every month? But don’t you only have a thousand of them?”

Richard chuckled.

“We’ve used supremely precious treasures and methods to raise them. Currently, the fire dragon rabbit can change its fur once a month.

“This was true. The fire dragon rabbit could only survive under the sun.

“Was the sun not precious? It could be considered a peerless treasure, and a few could compare to the sun.”

Rebecca’s face instantly turned from sorrow to joy.

“Praise the snow goddess! It must be your divine grace!”

He said excitedly.

“Lord Richard, no matter how much you have, we’ll take it all!”

Her tone was firm and decisive, and she didn’t mention the price.

It was her first step in taking control of the Frostwolf clan, and it was worth it, no matter how great the price was.

The fur of the fire dragon rabbit was too rare.

A few could even become luxury goods that only the king and the great nobles could enjoy.

Richard was pleased with the lady’s attitude.

“Lady Rebecca, one order is for rabbit fur. How many resources do you intend to use to exchange for it?”

The fire dragon rabbit was half the height of a human and weighed more than 50 kilograms.

The rabbit hair produced by each adult rabbit was about ten catties. It was ten units.

These were all rabbit fur that fell off naturally and of excellent quality.

When this batch of fire dragon rabbits became adults, they could produce more than 10,000 units per month. When they reached their peak, 3,000 would be 30,000 units.

The yellow sand robe, including the losses, would require about five units of materials.

Even if one used all to produce the yellow sand robes, they could still be at 200 pieces per month.

One could sell for thousands of rare resources… The harvest here could reach 200,000 units.

Richard did some quick calculations and marveled at the potential business opportunities. It was a gold mine.

Since the initial value of the rare resources could reach 200,000 units, the deal with the Frostwolf clan’s eldest daughter couldn’t be lower than what he was selling himself.

Rebecca turned to look at Klei, then said in a deep voice, “Lord Richard, the Frostwolf family controls a portion of the ores in the eternal land of frost. We’re willing to buy five years’ worth of production from you with a piece of frost ore!”

It narrowed Richard’s eyes.

‘Using a mining vein to trade? What was this frost ore?’

It looked very precious…

He turned his head and looked to his side.

“Call Adele over.”

The guard left again.

The “Shining Era” was too big. Other than the god of knowledge, no one would dare to say that they understood everything inside.

Not long after, Adele, who had dark circles under her eyes and looked like she had not rested well, rushed into the hall.

“Lord Richard…” She said.

Her voice carried a hint of coyness.

“I’m still in the research progress. It’s already at the final moment.”

The girl had immersed herself in research ever since she had obtained the spirit crystal that could improve the characteristics of troop classes.

She remained in the blacksmith’s shop after they conquered the underground world. He even ate and slept in the blacksmith’s shop and made a bed on the floor…

Richard found it both funny and heartbreaking.

He said unhappily.

“Alright, there’s no rush. I’ll go back and rest for two days before studying it. I’m already exhausted.”

Adele’s face fell, and she looked aggrieved.

Rebecca and Klei looked curiously at this girl. Her face still had a few traces of dust.

It trembled Klein’s heart after he sensed it carefully.

‘Snow goddess above… She is another hero with unlimited potential.

‘Including the one on the city wall, how many had already appeared? Even the Frostwolf territory wasn’t as exaggerated as this… It was simply too much.’

Richard ignored the girl’s emotional outburst and explained the deal to her.

Then, he said with a deeper meaning.

“Lady Rebecca, what do you think of exchanging a frost mine for five years’ worth of fire dragon rabbit fur?”

Adele’s listless expression immediately brightened like a blade of grass that one had just watered in the afternoon.

He turned to look at Rebecca.

“Frost ore? It can produce frost ore filled with ice magic?”

Rebecca smiled and nodded.

“That’s right.”

“Yes!” Adele nodded excitedly.

“My Lord, we can use frost ore to forge weapons with ice magic. This weapon could freeze an enemy when attacking. It will freeze the enemy… Other than the Ice Empire, no other place has it, so it’s very precious.”

Adele’s big eyes rolled around as she said that.

However, the fire dragon rabbit is equally precious. The value would be unless it’s a vast ice crystal mine.

Richard couldn’t help but chuckle. At least he knew how to add to the stakes. It’s not bad.

Rebecca decisively nodded when she heard this.

“That’s right. It’s a giant frost mine!”

Adele’s eyes curved into crescents as she turned to Richard, as if to say, “hurry up and agree, we have to take advantage of it…”
