The ice elemental energy in the incubation room was very dense. A bone-piercing chill could be felt as soon as he stepped into the room. Suhlen picked up the depleted Cold Moon Stone and replaced it with a new one.
This kind of low-level ice elemental crystal cost 30 Kinnar. Basically, one Cold Moon Stone could be used for two days. If he wanted to hatch these Cryopterus, just the Cold Moon Stone alone would cost him more than 1,000 Kinnar.
After replacing the new Cold Moon Stone, Suhlen checked the thirteen Cryopterus eggs in the incubation room. There was nothing wrong with the thirteen Dragon Eggs. The life force and ice elemental energy in the eggs were slowly increasing.
This meant that these eggs were in a normal state of development. If the life force in these Winged Dragon Eggs weakened or stagnated, it meant that these Winged Dragon Eggs were most likely dead. Some skilled hatcheries might have a chance to save these eggs, but Suhlen could only watch.
After checking the Winged Dragon Eggs, Suhlen stood up and left the room. After telling the two Barbarian warriors to guard the eggs carefully, Suhlen continued to patrol the other parts of the camp.
The sugar refinery was right next to the Lord's Castle. The sugar produced by the refinery was the biggest source of income for the Northern Fortress. However, the sugar trade had ended this year. As a matter of fact, the wild sugar beets collected by the Northern Fortress were almost used up.
The territory controlled by the Northern Fortress now had a diameter of 20 kilometers. The areas close to the Northern Fortress had been cleaned up. If they wanted to dig up more beets, they would have to look further. Beets were not weeds that could be found everywhere.
During this time, the teams that went out to dig for beets were getting less and less. In order to accumulate enough raw materials, Suhlen had sent out more than 20 teams of 600 people.
The sugar workshop could produce 20 pounds of sugar a day. It could produce 600 pounds of sugar a month. Other than sugar, there was also a lot of waste honey and beet residue. The waste honey was sent to the brewery on the other side to make rum, and the residue was used to make silage.
The Northguard Castle had raised over a hundred bison and even more Spotted Antelope and Giant Antler Deer. They consumed a lot of vegetables every day. One of the most important tasks in the territory was to store the food.
Many of the slaves bought from Calt City were proficient in breeding. Although they had never reared spotted antelopes, buffaloes, and giant-antler deer before, after a few months, they were familiar with their habits. After the harvest of the territory, in addition to harvesting potatoes, the leaves and vines were also chopped up to become their food.
It could be said that Suhlen's territory had formed a simple industrial chain that connected all the resources in the territory.
Beets could be used to extract sugar, and the remaining honey could be used to make wine. Beet dregs could be used to feed livestock, and the manure of livestock could be fermented and used to fertilize the fields. Thus, a somewhat crude industrial chain was established.
As long as the Northguard Fortress didn't make any mistakes or get attacked by the monsters in the wilderness, the place would continue to prosper.
After inspecting the workshops and farms, Suhlen went to the smithy. There was a blast furnace near the smithy. One could see it from afar. Because of the technology, the blast furnace couldn't produce steel every time. After all, Suhlen's knowledge was limited. He could only rely on the blacksmiths to figure it out.
Suhlen came here to forge a new weapon. After becoming a Legendary, his spear was no longer suitable for him. The dwarves and elves were the best blacksmiths in the world. Both races had mastered the forging method of low-carbon steel and carburizing steel.
Weapons made with carburizing steel were naturally + 2 even if they weren't enchanted. Bruce was the best blacksmith in the Northguard Castle. Suhlen was going to customize a new weapon and ask Hathaway to enchant it.
There were very few blacksmiths with superb skills, and even fewer who could forge legendary weapons. In order to forge a legendary weapon, one would need to have superb blacksmithing skills, some extraordinary materials, a skilled alchemist, and a bit of luck. Only then would one be able to forge a legendary weapon.
Although Bruce's skills were good, he wasn't a Master yet. Hathaway was only an Intermediate Alchemist. Alchemists needed to constantly experiment and accumulate experience before they could level up. In other words, they needed a lot of materials.
It was impossible to forge a Legendary weapon with such a lineup. Unless the Goddess of Luck was smiling at you. Suhlen was going to forge an Advanced Magic weapon.
"Bruce, you can forge rare weapons now, right?" Suhlen came to the smithy and asked.
"If I have the materials, I'm 80% sure. But I don't know alchemy, so I can't enchant it," Bruce said as he wiped the sweat off his face.
"You don't have to worry about the enchantment. I'll find someone to do it." Suhlen waved his hand and said, "I have a weapon blueprint here. See if you can make it."
Suhlen spent 1,000 Kinnar to buy a blueprint for the Purple Dragon Halberd from the system store. He also bought meteor iron, tungsten steel, and amethyst to forge the weapon. The set of materials cost him 5,000 Kinnar.
The weapons in this world were divided into normal weapons, rare weapons, and Legendary weapons. Normal weapons didn't have any bonuses and were considered Common weapons. Rare weapons were also called Magic weapons. The lowest grade was + 1 enchantment or + 1 enhancement.
For example, the battle axes used by the Barbarians were + 1 sharpness. Experienced blacksmiths would occasionally forge them. They were considered Excellent weapons and were much more expensive than normal weapons. The Centaur Longbow that Suhlen bought last time was + 2 equipment. These equipment were also called Low Level Magic Items.
As for + 3 weapons, Suhlen's Iron Body Bow was one. It was a Medium Level Magic Equipment. Suhlen was preparing to forge the Purple Dragon Halberd. If he succeeded, it would be a + 4 High Level Magic Equipment. The lowest grade of Legendary weapons was + 5. As for the Legendary weapons, Suhlen hadn't seen them before, but he guessed that they would be + 7 or + 8 at least.
After getting the materials, Bruce prepared to forge. But first, he picked up the blueprint for the Purple Dragon Halberd and looked at it. The Purple Dragon Halberd was a Half Moon Halberd. In fact, there were even more powerful weapon blueprints in the system store. For example, the Sky Halberd, Dragon's Courage Spear, Ghost God's Sky Halberd, and so on. However, the lowest grade of these weapons was Legendary.
The required materials weren't sold in the system store, and there weren't any Master Blacksmiths to make them. So, in the end, he chose to forge the Purple Dragon Halberd.
