Suhlen had heard of high level harpies before. They were born with some spell-like abilities. Unlike ordinary harpies, they were very intelligent. They even began to call themselves the Winged People and no longer regarded the harpies as their own race.
They were as intelligent as humans, mastered spells, and could command many harpies. High level harpies were already very powerful creatures.
High level harpies were actually a new species. The bloodline of high level harpies could be traced back to the era of the ancient gods. It was Iris, a descendant of the goddess of wind, Oulos. She had a pair of white wings, a beautiful face, and a curvaceous body.
Iris was a child of god. She combined her blood with other species to create harpies and let them serve as servants of the god of wind. These first harpies were divine creatures. Later, because of the war between the ancient gods, many gods died. The ancient gods either disappeared or died. New gods were born during this time.
High level harpies were the descendants of the demigod harpies. However, their bloodline had been diluted and almost lost its divine nature.
The modern harpies active in the material plane had appeared during the era of the new gods. They almost didn't inherit any divine harpies' bloodline. Some wizards said that these harpies were actually some ordinary birds that were mutated by divine radiation.
Seeing the harpies leave, Suhlen's eyes moved. He then walked in the direction where the group of harpies had left.
This mining area was very large. Many places had been hollowed out by the gray dwarves. Some of the abandoned mines had become the nests of other underground creatures. The two followed the group of harpies from afar. The harpies' nest was not close to here. After passing through a few tunnels, the group of harpies stopped on a cliff.
The high level harpies lived at the top of the cliff. The other harpies were scattered below the cliff. There were many caves on the cliff, and the harpies lived in those caves. The high level harpies lived in a stone room, which she must have modified with magic.
Suhlen was now very interested in the high level harpies, but it seemed that the time was not right. The main reason was that he couldn't fly now. It was basically impossible to get close to the high level harpies silently.
However, his original plan this time was to investigate first. After confirming the harpies' nest, Suhlen and Ayton began to return. Although there were many tunnels in the underground world, Suhlen had a strategic map. There was no need to worry about getting lost.
"Creatures are approaching!"
With some slight rustling sounds, Ayton suddenly said. Suhlen immediately stopped and then looked around in the darkness.
Some shadows were quietly approaching in the dark.
"It seems that the two of us are prey...." Seeing the shadows, Suhlen said with a chuckle.
"Sir, should be Bugbears," Ayton's eyes's cold eyes, "Do you want me to deal with them?"
The Drow moved his scimitar, a trace of cruelty in his eyes.
Bugbears were very good at hiding. Although they were huge in size, their movements were very agile. Their strength was comparable to adult black bears, and their agility was similar to professional athletes. Basically, they would bring some Bugbears with them when they appeared. They were the strongest among the Bugbears. If an ordinary adventurer didn't pay attention, they would easily suffer a great loss.
"Let's end this quickly!" Suhlen waved his longsword and rushed directly toward the Bugbears. Ayton rushed toward the Bugbears in another direction.
Although the Bugbears were strong, they were unlucky to encounter Suhlen and Ayton. One was a Legendary-rank powerhouse, and the other was a level 3 Extraordinary profession. Against these Bugbears, who were at most level 2, they were completely crushed. Except for the level 2 Extraordinary profession Bugbear that lasted a few rounds in Ayton's hands, the others were no match at all.
In a few minutes, all the Bugbears were beheaded.
After dealing with the Bugbears, the two continued forward. Soon, they could see scattered ores in front of them. It was the abandoned mine of the Gray Dwarves.
The two didn't stay in the underground world for long. After arranging their work in the kobold tribe, Suhlen left the underground world with Ayton.
After returning to the northern city, Suhlen immediately sent people to seal the passage from the mine to the underground world. He had already agreed with Pithra that he would go to the kobold tribe to harvest once a month.
After returning from the underground world, Suhlen first handed the gold and silver to Chrissy, and then let her arrange for the minting workshop to start. This time, Suhlen brought back more than 300 kilograms of gold, which was enough to make a large number of Kinnar.
In addition to the gold and silver, Suhlen also obtained a large number of gems. Apart from giving some of these gems to Hathaway to make various magic items, the rest would be stored in the treasury of the lord's castle.
Hathaway and Hathaway liked the gems very much, especially the biggest one. Hathaway decided to use it to make a crown.
The snow and ice melted, and the trade route was smooth again. On the third day after Suhlen returned from the underground world, the first caravan came to the northern city. After not seeing each other for a winter, the people of the caravan were almost stunned to see such a big change in the northern city.
After all, when they left last year, there was only the original inner city of the northern city. Now, the northern castle had been completely upgraded to the northern city. There was also a huge altar in the northern city. Such a magnificent altar was comparable to the temple in Calt City.
These caravans were even more in awe of Su Lun after seeing the changes in Northern Battlefront City in just one winter. After entering the city and seeing the drows and half-elves in the city, the caravans were once again shocked speechless. Even the Ice Winged Dragon Whelps that flew down from the sky didn't surprise them at all.
This time, the caravan brought a large number of living materials and a batch of slaves, which was what the northern city lacked. They also bought sugar, rum, and recently produced cotton cloth.
These merchants were very surprised to see the cotton cloth produced in Northern Town City. However, when they thought about how there were Half-Elves in Northern Town City, and how skilled these Half-Elves were, the cotton cloth was naturally not a problem.
The trade in the territory was carried out in an orderly manner. The tax officer on the side was also inspecting the goods. If the merchants were asked who they hated the most, it would definitely be the tax officer, Barnes. Ever since he became the tax officer, their caravan would lose at least 10% of their profits every time.
PS: As expected, a loser like me is not suitable to write a novel. Writing a novel is a dead end.
