Upon seeing Richard, Desol, whose hair was as messy as a chicken coop, gave Richard a big hug and laughed heartily, "Levi, Father Titan, I really don't know what your brain is made of to come up with such a wonderful formula!"

"You know what? When I took my first sip, I was actually shocked!"

"I've never tasted such a refreshing, fragrant and sweet beer. It feels so good to take a big gulp!" Disol said with his hands and feet dancing, and the old wrinkles on his face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

From the moment Desol entered the door until now, he has been talking non-stop about how delicious this new beer is. Richard couldn't get a word in and could only smile in response.

However, Richard didn't feel that Desol was overshadowing the main character at all.

Looking at the messy hair and beard of the other person, you can tell that he must have been paying close attention to the brewing process during the past three days.

When it comes to new beer, I've found the right person.

Richard could understand how a drunkard felt when he encountered good wine, especially when this wine was brewed by himself.

After a few minutes, Disol seemed to have calmed down a little and took a few more sips of wine.

Only then was Richard able to interrupt.

"Disol, it seems that my recipe has won your approval."

Disol shook his head violently and said, "No! It's not praise! It's admiration! Do you understand? Levi, my brother, why didn't you let me meet you earlier."

"Then I guess this means that once this new beer is released, it will definitely be welcomed by the gray dwarves?"

"No! It's not just welcome! There will be fanatical pursuit! Levi, after this beer is promoted, one day, your fame will surpass that of the Emperor of the Gray Dwarf Empire." Disol said excitedly.

Richard looked at Disol's passionate expression and it didn't seem like he was simply complimenting him.

As expected, the gray dwarves all love fine wine, and the reputation of famous winemakers that has been passed down for thousands of years is not a myth, but a real thing.

"No, Disol, it's your name, not mine." Richard said with a mysterious smile.

"Me? Why me?" Disol had a dazed look on his face, as if he didn't understand what Richard meant.

"We will set up a beer chamber of commerce to be responsible for the brewing and sales of new beer, and you, Disol, will be responsible for serving as the president of the chamber of commerce and as the chief brewer." Richard slowly stated the arrangement in his mind.

"No, this is obviously the wine you brewed! I can't steal the honor that originally belongs to you!"

Disol's eyes widened and he shook his head like a rattle, as if he couldn't believe that Richard would give him such a great honor so easily.

"Can it be understood that as long as there are enough hops, you can produce this new type of beer continuously?"

"Also, once sales start, can you keep up?" Richard did not answer Desol's question, but asked two questions in a row.

"Of course, no problem. Don't worry, Levi. As long as you have enough of this thing called hops, there will be absolutely no problem on my side!" Disol patted his strong chest heavily.

"I own seven or eight breweries. If all of them produce new-style beer, there will definitely be no problem in the early stages!"

Richard nodded and said, "Disol, how about you bring Fana with you to meet at my villa tomorrow? I plan to sell some of my shares."

"What? You are actually going to sell part of your shares in this highly profitable business? Levi, my brother, has your head been hit by a hammer?" Disol had an expression of disbelief, puffing his beard and staring.

Richard spread his hands and said, "Disol, I'm in urgent need of money recently. Also, what do you think will happen if our business is just you and me, and we expand it to other cities in the future?"

Richard's words slowly calmed Disol down from his state of ecstasy.

When he regained his sanity, Disol completed his magnificent transformation from a drunkard to a first-level high-level wizard.

"Levi, I think I understand what you mean. If that's the case, it's indeed a good choice for you to sell some of your shares. However."

"If that's the case, I suggest you call not only Fana, but also Alehan from the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, or even a few wizards of higher levels. Let them bid on their own, hehe~"

As he spoke, Disol's narrowed eyes suddenly revealed a cunning look.

Richard immediately understood what Disol was thinking, and couldn't help but feel grateful to this old gray dwarf who had thought a lot for him.

That’s right!

Before, he had always thought that someone was needed to cultivate hops in large quantities, so he thought of bringing Fana in.

But if the buyer of the shares is only Fana, it will not bring much profit to Richard.

Only through competition can Richard obtain maximum benefits from the sale of shares.

"Thank you, Desol, my brother, cheers!" Richard rarely took the initiative to raise his glass to celebrate.

"cheers!"

The two finally agreed to establish the Desol Beer Chamber of Commerce, with Desol, as the official person in charge, holding a 30% stake and responsible for all aspects of the brewing and sales of the new beer.

Richard holds 70% of the shares, but 30% of them will be sold to other powerful wizards in the next two days, thus ensuring that the sales of the new beer will not be suppressed or hacked.

From the remaining 40%, 10% will be taken out as benefit to bulk growers of hops.

Hops are essentially a type of hemp grass that is relatively easy to grow and cultivate.

Therefore, almost any formal wizard majoring in natural sciences can easily cultivate hops to meet the daily production demand of 5,000 bottles of rye beer after a little guidance from Richard.

When Disol left again to prepare for the new beer.

Richard was in a particularly good mood! "Fingart, go buy some ingredients and let the kitchen celebrate in the evening."

"Yes, Master!"

"Gorkan, prepare for the reception tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You are more familiar with the etiquette of the gray dwarves."

"Yes, Master!"

"Stephanie, walk with me to the garden."

"Okay, master." Stephanie said with a smile, feeling very happy that the two annoying big lights finally left.

To be honest, this was the first time that Richard had appreciated the garden of his villa planted with various flowers since he bought it.

This time, apart from the fact that the sky in the Underdark was always so gray, making the colorful flowers not as brilliant as those on the surface under the sun, it also had a different flavor.

At this moment, a soft and hot body behind Richard gently hugged him, and a special fragrance came from him.

Richard felt a surge of heat all over his body. Of course he knew who was behind him.

My ears felt hot, and I heard Stephanie's sweet voice again, "Master, it seems that my body has never been used before~"

Fuck, I can't help it! Richard turned around and hugged the graceful and hot body behind him. Facing the charming face, he was about to advance towards the seductive cherry mouth. Suddenly!

"Boom!" The sound of an explosion came from a street not far away.

Richard was shocked. Could it be those evil cults?

"Crash!" It seemed that a house in the distance collapsed, and smoke and dust rose up!

The charming atmosphere in the villa garden suddenly disappeared.

Richard walked quickly towards the gate and saw more than a dozen gray dwarves dressed as Tug City guards who were originally patrolling the streets, rushing towards the place where the explosion came from.

Suddenly, a black shadow came rushing from the corner of the road not far ahead, and as the other party waved his hand, a green mist spread out.

The dozen or so Tug City guards who were coming towards them instantly looked like they were drunk. Each guard had an intoxicated expression on his face, as if he was immersed in some happy dream.

But the next second, their expressions changed instantly, and fear, despair, grief and other expressions appeared on the faces of these guards.

After a while, some of the dozen people started attacking each other, and used the sledgehammers in their hands to smash their former companions' brains so that they burst.

Some of them slashed at the walls of shops on the street like crazy.

At this time, the hooded man in black robe was getting closer and closer to Richard's villa.

"Stephania, retreat quickly!" Richard's pupils constricted immediately. The opponent's aura was very powerful. He was at least a formal wizard of the first high level, and his attack methods were weird.

Obviously, he didn't want to meet the other party, let alone fight! Suddenly, a roar came from behind the black-robed man.

I saw a figure rushing over, wearing heavy plate armor, holding a steel shield and a one-handed heavy hammer, dressed like a leader of the Gray Dwarf City Guards: "You bastards of the Nightmare Church! Go to hell!"

With a roar, the commander's heavy hammer shot straight into the black-robed man's vest like a meteor.

The black-robed man turned around and released a dark green semicircular barrier, and the heavy hammer collided with it in an instant, "Bang!"

After breaking the barrier, the powerful hammer still had enough force to hit the black-robed man's right arm, and threw the black-robed man rapidly towards the villa where Richard was.

Suddenly, the man in black robe covered his injured arm, glanced at Richard, a first-level wizard, with disdain, and rushed towards Richard, as if he was planning to break through from Richard's side.

He waved his hand, and instantly, a dark green mist rushed towards Richard.

"Not good!" Richard's heart sank.

"Magic Armor Technique!!"

A hideous black bone armor knight outfit with a skull mask instantly enveloped Richard.

I didn't want to get involved, but now it seems that avoiding it won't solve the problem! "Mental shock!!"

The black-robed man staggered immediately. The black-robed man under the hood looked shocked and angry! He understood that he had underestimated this human boy who was only at the beginning of the first level. He actually knew rare spiritual magic.

Although the effect on him was only a dizziness of about one second, but... "Haha, bastard, you can't escape."

The leader of the gray dwarves in the rear seized the opportunity, quickly closed the distance, and immediately engaged in a fight with the man in black robes.

The man in black robe had to choose another direction to escape!

At this time, Richard had been hit by the dark green mist.

But what surprised him was that this dark green mist seemed to have no attack power at all, and it didn't seem to have any effect on his magic armor technique.

Just when Richard was feeling suspicious, he looked up and suddenly found that the surrounding environment was rippling like waves, becoming hazy.

The flat ground began to crack. The thick walls of the villa began to collapse like soft noodles. The various flowers on the garden lawn, originally beautiful flowers, suddenly grew sharp teeth, opened their bloody mouths, and rushed towards Richard. Richard was shocked and quickly waved his sword to block!

But the next second, he found that the Ice Guardian in his hand suddenly softened and turned into a crystal-colored poisonous snake, which suddenly bit his wrist.

Richard was so frightened that he let go and threw him away heavily!

The surrounding scene suddenly changed again.

Pairs of dark green eyes began to appear in the gray surroundings. Suddenly, ugly monsters that had never been seen before began to jump out, waving their claws and roaring as they rushed towards Richard.

"Is this me being pulled into an illusion?"

"But this attack effect is too real!" Richard looked at the scratches on the black knight's armor. They were caused by the bites of those mutant flowers.

The stinging pain in his wrist just now seemed to tell him that these were real, not illusions! "Whether it's true or not, just kill them all!"

Richard did not take any weapons and did not summon any abominations. He was worried that the vengeful abominations he summoned would also be changed by some evil force.

So, you have to use your fists to beat them up one by one!

Hey, mental shock is not affected!

I don’t know how long it took. Richard was so tired that he was out of breath!

But, it was great! It seemed that he had killed all the monsters around him.

Suddenly, a monster with a human lower body and a huge octopus mouthparts on the upper body rushed towards Richard, making strange noises from its mouth.

"Bang, bang!" To Richard's surprise, this big guy was quite easy to deal with. He was knocked away by a few punches and fell to the ground motionless.

At this time, the gray fog around began to dissipate, and the surrounding environment was like the surface of a lake, rippling again. Richard felt dazed for a moment, and he was back in the familiar villa garden again.

The ground looked as if it had been plowed.

But the surrounding walls are in good condition.

The Ice Guardian was thrown aside.

The flowers on the lawn were a mess.

What surprised Richard the most was that Stephanie was lying unconscious on the ground nearby.

Turning around, Richard found that the man in black robe was gone.

The streets were already filled with hundreds of fully armed gray dwarf city guards.

The leader of the gray dwarves was standing not far away with a group of people, pointing at the ground.

It seems that the man in black robe has run away.

Richard removed the magic armor, revealing his handsome face. He walked over and picked up the unconscious Stephanie.

As if remembering something, the gray dwarf plate armor leader shouted from afar: "Hey! Human boy, how are you?"

"Bram, the person in front of you is the alchemist master of our Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, Sir Levi." A Gray Dwarf wizard next to the Plate Armor Commander obviously saw Richard's face and walked over while speaking.

Richard knew this gray dwarf wizard, whose name was Revell Koch. He was the deputy director of the combat department of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. Richard had communicated with him once on the alchemical combination bomb.

"Master Levi, I'm so glad you're okay."

"Who was that just now?" Richard still had beads of sweat on his forehead, his back was already soaked, and his whole body was sore.

The dark green mist from the other party just now was so strange that it didn’t seem to be a simple dream.

Because Richard found that bruises on his wrists and body were still there.

"It was the remnant of the Nightmare Church. I have killed that guy. But, pity for my brothers." The leader of the Gray Dwarf City Defense Force named Bram said angrily while looking at the corpses of the Gray Dwarf City Guards lying on the ground.

Obviously, Bram was very annoyed that the other party had killed so many of his men right under his nose.

"I want to search the entire city for the remaining followers of the Nightmare Church and smash them all into pieces!!"

Nightmare Church? I just heard about it from Gorkan a few days ago. It actually appeared before my eyes so quickly. "Pram, it's good enough to kill the priests of the Nightmare Church. What's the point of killing more ordinary believers? It won't be long before the other side can develop a new group of believers." Revel comforted.

"Revil, you know, these bastards never confront us head-on, they just like to use dirty tricks. However, this time their priest was killed by me, and it will take a while for him to recover."

Revell's face was not looking good. He shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. The Nightmare Church has developed to the scale of having priests right under our noses. The situation may be worse than we imagined. I think we should report to the higher-ups separately!"

"I hope there won't be any cultists at the bishop level!"

"That shouldn't be the case!" When Bram heard the word "bishop", his face froze, as if he recalled some bad memories, and his expression was solemn.

So, the black-robed man had been killed by Bram? Richard glanced at the ground in the distance where everyone was pointing and talking.

It seemed that only a torn black robe and a pool of black water were left. However, Richard always felt that the other party was dealt with a little too easily.

Although there were two top-level wizards, Bram and Revell, who took action, he had a vague feeling that things would not end so easily.

Suddenly, Richard was shocked! Because he suddenly found a message in the inspiration panel: [Gained 85691 energy points. ]
