The construction of the Harvest Altar shocked Karina the most. As a level-4 Warlock, she was only one level away from advancing to the legendary rank. She could clearly feel the power released by the altar.
The aura was majestic, magnificent, and unstoppable as if it could topple mountains and overturn seas. The brilliant Heavenly Might pressured her so much that she couldn't breathe. Karina, who was not interested in this altar, suddenly felt a sense of awe. She also felt that Su Lun was becoming more and more mysterious.
She was already surprised that Suhlen had a succubus as his maid. Now, the Harvest Altar made her even more confused about Suhlen.
The Harvest Altar in front of her gave her a feeling that it was the power of a god. Previously, she had only had a similar feeling in the temple of the Dark Maiden. However, she was certain that although the power on the altar was majestic, it wasn't divine power. In fact, the power that Karina felt was the power of the rules. It was a part of the rules of this world.
In fact, if she successfully advanced to the legendary rank, she would understand this power.
When Suhlen built the Harvest Altar, the most important material, the Earth Crystal, contained a trace of the power of the rules. It was also because of this power that the Harvest Altar had such a magical effect and became a building of wonder.
After the construction of the Harvest Altar was completed, the manpower of the North Town was finally released. In order to build the Harvest Altar, Suhlen had used more than 60% of the manpower in his territory. Now that the Harvest Altar was completed, the manpower began to build the outer city.
The first thing to be built was still the housing. Among the 6,000 people in the territory, nearly 4,000 of them were slaves. These people had to work for a full five years before they could obtain their freedom. They would be given out according to the points and money they had accumulated through their daily work.
These points and money could only be used to buy land and houses. Only the surplus would be allowed to be exchanged for money. These slaves were also easier to manage. They only needed to live separately for men and women. Moreover, because there were very few families or couples, a house could only accommodate five people.
As for the refugees, it was a little more troublesome. Many of them had families, so many families needed a house. In this way, at least 1,500 houses were needed to arrange for everyone to live in the outer city.
The construction team of the North Town had been through many major projects and was very familiar with building houses. After the construction of the city wall was completed, the bricks produced by the brick kiln factory could also be used to build houses. Therefore, on the second day after the Harvest Altar was completed, the North Town began construction again.
The houses built this time were made of brick and stone, and the style was uniform and standard. The shape of the houses was the kind of brick houses that were very common in the countryside before. Each house was about 40 square meters, and the beam structure was very simple. It was a triangular frame, and then covered with tiles. Although in Su Lun's opinion, this kind of house was old in style, small in size and many other shortcomings, in the eyes of the refugees and serfs, this house was something they had never dared to imagine before.
The houses were built near the south gate. The goblins, kobolds, and gnolls were also arranged near the south gate. The arrangement of the slaves was much simpler. The fences were made of wood, and the walls were also made of mud. It was very convenient to build the houses.
The 1,500 houses were divided into 10 rows, with 150 houses in each row. Because all the houses were connected together, it could save on bricks and stones. Suhlen also imitated the lifang system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in his previous life. He divided the houses into three markets, and arranged for a manager to manage each market.
The lifang system could better manage these people. At the same time, it was easier to supervise all kinds of illegal activities in the territory. Once the lifang door was closed, it would be a small isolated world. Strangers would be discovered very quickly. It was very helpful in hunting down spies. This was very useful for the development of civilization in the medieval world.
At the same time, the lifang system was much simpler for collecting taxes. Although this backward system had long been abolished in modern society in his previous life, it was very useful in this world. Most of the time, whether a system was good or not did not depend on whether it was advanced or not, but on whether it was suitable.
A large number of bricks and stones were transported. Thousands of people worked according to the boundaries set by Suhlen. A lifang was built in the shortest time. The whole lifang was like a chessboard. The roads were crisscrossed, and the houses were like chess pieces. It looked neat and clear.
It only took a week for the lifang to be completed.
"Lifang: lifang style residential houses. There is a poem: 'Hundreds and thousands of houses are like a chess game, twelve streets are like vegetable beds.' The establishment of the lifang system is a great step forward in feudal society. Order + 5, Popular + 5, Stability + 20, Comfort + 5, Law + 10, Crime -5, Prosperity -5."
After arranging things, Suhlen returned to the inner city. As soon as he entered the Lord's castle, a black shadow flew down from the sky. It was the Ice Quetzalcoatlus raised by Suhlen. At this time, it was rubbing its head back and forth on Suhlen's leg intimately. In just a month, the Ice Quetzalcoatlus had grown to a wingspan of two meters.
Now, this guy had become a tyrant in Northern Town City. It often went to scare the slaves in the territory. Now, it was likely that it had gone crazy outside.
Suhlen reached out and patted its head. "Did you go out to make trouble again?"
The Ice Quetzalcoatlus shrank its head and kept rubbing on Suhlen's leg, making it clear that it was trying to please him. At this time, a member of the security team rode over on a horse. After seeing Suhlen, he immediately turned over and dismounted.
"My Lord."
"What's the matter?" Suhlen asked directly when he saw the security team member.
"The slaves guarding the livestock just said that a quetzalcoatlus attacked and killed a spotted antelope." The security team member looked at the Ice Quetzalcoatlus and said.
"I see." Suhlen nodded and let the security team continue to work. Then he slapped the Ice Quetzalcoatlus. "The next time you dare to make trouble at the ranch, I'll send someone to put you in a cage."
The Ice Quetzalcoatlus was so scared that it begged for mercy.
Among the eleven quetzalcoatlus in the territory, this Ice Quetzalcoatlus grew the fastest. In less than a month, it was already the size of a calf, and it had even begun to learn how to hunt on its own.
An adult Cryopterus was about fifteen meters in size. Females were slightly smaller, but the Ice Quetzalcoatlus was larger and could grow up to eighteen meters. As a Yaron, this kind of quetzalcoatlus was very strong. Generally, they would not hunt on their own until they were three years old, and they would enter adulthood at the age of ten.
A Cryopterus had a lifespan of two hundred to three hundred years. They had a large appetite, and northern bison was their favorite food.
"My Lord, it's my fault." Ayton, the drow, stepped forward and said.
"Well, keep an eye on it next time." Suhlen nodded and did not pursue the responsibility.
"How are the other quetzalcoatlus?"
"Counselor Karina has selected the best drow refiners from the drow elves and started training them." Ayton said respectfully, "Knights need to cultivate feelings with their mounts from an early age, especially dragon mounts."
"Dragon creatures are arrogant and unruly. If they don't cultivate feelings from an early age, it's difficult for them to cooperate with knights."
"By the way, my Lord, there's one more thing. These quetzalcoatlus have been growing for a month. In order to give them better living and training, we need to build a quetzalcoatlus nest in the territory."
Suhlen nodded. "I'll have people build the quetzalcoatlus nest as soon as possible."
Suhlen patted the head of the Ice Quetzalcoatlus and let it fly back to the Lord's castle. As he walked, he asked Ayton, "Are there any big movements in the other tribes in the wilderness? How is the war between the Centaurs and the Orcs? "
"There seems to be some turmoil in the northern wilderness. The specific reasons are not clear. The war between the Centaur tribe and the Orc tribe is not over yet. And the Orc tribe should have received help. Now the Centaurs are in a state of suppression. "
"The Orcs are so strong?" Suhlen was a little surprised. Although the equipment he gave to the Centaurs was not excellent, it was still good equipment. But they were still suppressed by the Orc tribe. It seemed that the strength of the Orc tribe should be very strong.
Suhlen's territory was now in a period of development. He did not want to face those powerful tribes now.
Suhlen thought and said, "Send more people to keep an eye on them. Once the Centaur tribe shows signs of being unable to hold on, immediately inform me."
"Yes, sir." Ayton nodded and said.
The Drows were not perfunctory. The selected Quetzalcoatlus Knight was indeed very strong. The leader of the Drows had reached grade 3 profession. At the same time, his body did not look as slender as his peers. He was two meters tall and had a strong physique. His skin was gray and had a lustrous luster.
After some understanding, Suhlen learned that the Drows were trained as knights. There was a powerful profession among the Drows called Lizard Knights. Their mounts were Petrifying Lizards, a powerful creature in the underground world. A Petrifying Lizard was more than eight meters long. Although it was called a lizard, it looked like a Drake, but it was obviously smaller than a Drake.
This kind of Petrifying Lizard was strong and heavy. It was the most powerful knight in the Underdark World. Their mounts could also use Petrification. The Petrification of a Petrifying Lizard was more powerful than the Petrification of a Wizard. It was completely instantaneous.
Especially when they suddenly used it in close combat, it was difficult for the enemy to avoid it. If the enemy was hit by the Petrification, if the Constitution was not high enough, the Test of Toughness would fail, and the enemy would instantly turn into a stone statue. If the stone statue was not removed within two hours, it would be turned into a stone statue forever.
Each of the Drows' Petrifying Lizard Knights was a grade 4 profession. The Drows in front of him were only grade 3. According to the standards of the Underdark, he could not even pass the threshold of the Petrifying Lizard Knight selection. This Drows had declined to the extreme and could only make do with grade 3.
