There were a lot of things that were brought back this time.
However, the gold, silver, and jewelry found in the underground ruins were the least eye-catching. Gloria was not even interested in counting them. After the [Elemental Furnace] was dismantled and brought back, Gloria and Fallen Witch had turned all their energy to the study of the [Elemental Furnace]. According to their inference, the [Elemental Furnace] could provide the energy to maintain the operation of a city, so it could certainly support the floating energy supply of a wizard tower.
Maybe the floating city was still a little out of reach, but the floating tower seemed to be in front of them.
The two northern witches who were in a state of research fanaticism were very scary. Even Søren was impatiently driven out by them. In terms of alchemy, Søren still had too many basic skills to make up for, and he could not help much even if he stayed in place. So while there was still some free time, he simply solved one thing that he had always wanted to do in the past.
…
Mordor City.
Under the glory of the morning sun, people gradually woke up and began to work. There were sounds of hawkers on the street, and the blacksmith shop in the distance had been ringing non-stop. The streets of Mordor City had already formed a unique pattern. People lived a peaceful life. But today, the streets of Mordor City seemed to be a bit different. Many people couldn't help but gather together, looking inside with curious expressions on their faces.
A wizard.
Furthermore, she was a beautiful witch.
Mordor City naturally had more than a few wizards, but there were only three famous ones. One was the mistress of Mordor City, Her Excellency Gloria, the other was the mysterious masked witch (Fallen Witch), and the last one was the plant wizard Saruman, who was known as the weirdo.
In addition to these three wizards, there were also some low-level spellcasters in Mordor City.
First of all, Saruman's apprentice group. After getting the support of Søren, the number of his apprentice group had been increasing, and now it had reached more than 30 people. Although these apprentices were low-level wizards, for Saruman, they could replace him to complete the fertilizer refining work, which saved him a lot of time and allowed him to concentrate on plant research.
Then there was the witch group that Gloria recruited from the Northern Witch Council.
These witches were more powerful, and most of them were mid-level spellcasters. Because the resources of the Witch Council were limited, they could not get more help from the Council, so they chose to join Gloria's faction.
Don't forget one thing.
Gloria was not only the mistress of Mordor City, but also an important member of the Witch Council.
The Northern Witch Council had its own factions, and Gloria herself was the representative of a faction. After these witches joined her, they naturally received financial and material assistance from Mordor City. Some of them even moved to Mordor City to assist Gloria. It was these witches who maintained the operation of the Golem Puppets and coordinated the lighthouse and other things in Port Mordor.
The last group of wizards came from Søren's church.
The half-elf church also had its own wizard group, but the number was very small, and their strength was also at the mid-level and low-level. There were about a dozen of them, which was less than one-twentieth of the number of priests, and many of them were part-time priests.
As for Fallen Witch.
Haha.
She really had no talent in this area. She was a typical person with high IQ and low EQ. Some of her methods were just an illusion formed by her higher IQ.
She had always been alone, and there were no wizards to help her.
…
A witch in the crowd was busy giving instructions to the others. She didn't care about the curious gazes of the people around her. After instructing her subordinates to erect a pillar, she reached out and inspected it. Then, she personally installed a beautiful crystal lamp on top of it. After that, she injected a little magic power to test if there were any problems with the internal runic lines.
"This is a magic lamp!?"
Naturally, there was also a knowledgeable adventurer next to her. After watching for a while, he said, "Is the City Hall going to install a magic lamp in Mordor City?"
This was a relatively primitive but also an era of unprecedented developed civilization.
Magic lamps were not very rare, but there were not many places where they could be used. Most of them were in the homes of high nobles and spellcasters. Ordinary civilians were not even willing to use candles. The only place Søren had seen that was willing to use magic lamps on a large scale was the palace of Arendelle. The ice witches had transformed the entire palace into a luxurious one. Compared to this kingdom that had been operating for thousands of years, some places in Mordor City were really shabby.
The witch did not answer his question.
To be honest, the northern witches were a little proud. Men who were not equal in strength and status would often think that they were very arrogant, but this was just their habit.
From the central square all the way to the city gate.
The length was about 1500 meters. A street lamp was installed every 15 meters on one side of the road. Gloria's witches were responsible for the installation. A group of people worked hard for a whole day to complete it. On the other side of the central square was another team of spellcasters. Their task was more difficult because they needed to install a huge crystal lamp in the central square.
No one knew when.
A huge diamond-shaped lavender crystal appeared in each of the four sides of the central square. It was surrounded by spellcasters with iron frames. Then there was a lamp post that was bigger than the road every 20 meters. The huge crystal lamp as the core was directly near the fountain in the central square. The light could directly illuminate the most magnificent building in Mordor City, the [Great Shrine].
A group of witches worked for a long time to complete it.
The third pair also came back in the evening. They had remodeled the lighthouse in Port Mordor.
Night fell.
Many people gathered curiously. There was no curfew in the city of Mordor during this time. Compared with Port Mordor, the interior of the city was still very stable. It was completely in the hands of Søren.
"Let's start."
Søren glanced at the light on the central square and nodded slightly. "Connect the magic energy pipeline."
Next to him was a young witch with a new face. She looked a little excited and said, "Yes. Your Excellency. "
Gloria's witches were still recruiting.
Compared with training a group of witches by themselves, it was faster to poach a little from the Northern Witch Council. Moreover, Gloria was now in the realm of legends. She was also qualified to gather a group of followers and be a mentor to the younger witches. Therefore, the other witches in the Witch Council could not say anything when they blatantly poached a group of younger witches.
"Wow!"
With the establishment of the magic energy transmission, the exclamation from the central square could be heard even from a distance.
Lights lit up like stars under the quiet night sky, from the City Hall to the central square, and then from the central square to the city gate. It took Søren three days to finish the arrangement. There were a total of 762 magic lamps. Among them, the largest ones in the central square were directly transformed with crystals, and most of the others were restored from the underground ruins. The circuit map of the entire lighting system in Mordor was drawn by Gloria. In her words, she said, "Don't bother me now, especially such a small thing."
When she said this, Gloria's expression was a little contemptuous. Perhaps in her opinion, Soran was actually in the mood to design street lamps, which should be considered as not doing a proper job. Street lighting was not a difficult problem at all. Basically, any wizard organization could do it. The real difficulty was the follow-up energy supply. Without energy supply, the magic lamps could only be made with some extremely expensive and rare materials to ensure that they could last for a long time without charging.
Gloria's expression at that time made Søren so angry that he stripped her naked on the spot and then slapped her hard. After that, she naturally became obedient.
The efficiency of the research had improved a lot.
…
People gathered curiously near the square.
The priest in charge of the temple saw people spontaneously gathering to see the lights and felt that the atmosphere at the scene was very good and could be used, so he simply arranged for people to summon believers and took advantage of this opportunity to hold a large prayer ceremony.
"I didn't expect that I would miss the street lamps …"
Søren stood under the night sky and looked down at the entire city of Mordor. To be honest, in this barren era where there were no lights, he sometimes felt a little uncomfortable.
What he did today was just what he wanted to do personally for a long time.
Looking at the city lit up under his feet, he really felt that Mordor was different this time. It would become a place that surpassed any city in this era.
The lighting system was just part of the future plan of Mordor.
Although people were very curious at first, this curiosity soon subsided.
The street lamps would light up at about six o 'clock every day, and then until about eight o' clock in the evening. During this time, the citizens of Mordor would gather in the central square, and many believers would pray in front of the temple at night. Children would play next to the fountain, and then they would be very curious to touch the largest crystal lamp in the center, but they were soon stopped by their parents. Although there was no explicit rule in Mordor that people could not touch the crystal lamp, people were still afraid of accidentally breaking this seemingly precious thing.
This was a rare thing in Mordor, maybe it would be the symbol of Mordor.
People who had formed a sense of identity and belonging to this city began to protect the interests of this city in their own way.
Everything returned to normal again.
Mordor had recently started to plant trees and flowers, and a little space reserved in the city finally came in handy. Although the City Hall did not know why Sir Søren was suddenly in the mood to do greenery, they still strictly carried out the order.
A few days later, a row of street lamps began to be installed in the port of Mordor.
Now the guards in charge of patrolling at night no longer had to hold torches and lanterns. Maybe it was because of the light at night, the taverns opened even later.
In this way, people quickly accepted the street lamps and got used to it.
