After the Arc de Triomphe in Northern Town City was completed, many workers and slaves were free. As a black-hearted capitalist and an evil slave owner, there was no way he would let his workers rest. The next day, he announced the construction plan for the city.
The first thing he needed to do was to upgrade the granary. The granary in Northern Town was very simple and crude. After all, they did not have a lot of food. However, due to the Harvest Altar, the food production had skyrocketed. Northern Town's granary was now full. In order to preserve the food, some of the granaries were taken out for storage.
However, they could only be stored temporarily. After all, potatoes were not easy to preserve. Without a professional granary, the potatoes would sprout easily. Potatoes were different from other crops. The sprouted potatoes were poisonous. Once they sprouted, they would be inedible.
The granaries in North Town City were built underground. The space above ground only took up a third or even less. This kind of underground granary had a low internal temperature, which made it easier to preserve the food. Since it was located in the underground, even if a fire broke out, only the top layer of the food would be burned down. The food buried in the underground would be fine.
Suhlen attached great importance to the granaries. He specifically found an official from the basic level to be in charge of the granaries. He also set up a strict management and inspection system. He did not want a fire dragon to burn the granaries, or soldiers from the dead to borrow food, like in ancient times.
The granaries in Northern Town were built in the northwest, close to the Red Sand River. The aqueduct was close, too. Once a fire broke out, it would be solved in the shortest time possible.
A granary could store around ten tons of food. Suhlen planned to build twenty to thirty granaries. The food they stored would be enough to feed Northern Town for three years. These granaries were the reserve granaries. They would not be used under normal circumstances to prevent wars and other disasters.
Apart from the strategic reserve granary, Northern Town also had a normal granary. This granary was used to provide food for Northern Town. As for the strategic reserve granary, it would not be used unless it was purchased at a low price. Even if the food became moldy after a long time, it would be sent to the winery to be brewed.
With a thousand craftsmen and even more slaves, the granaries in the North Town City were built very quickly. A standard granary had a diameter of eight meters and a depth of six meters. The granary was located in a relatively high area in the North Town City. The ground was dry and hard, and there was a layer of bricks inside the granary. The bricks were covered with chaff and hay to prevent moisture.
In order to build this granary, Su Lun had read a lot of information and asked those experienced craftsmen. Then he started the construction. After all the granaries were excavated, they were dried with firewood. The next step of construction was not started until there was no more moisture.
The interior of the granary was paved with a layer of bricks. The sand from the Red Sand River was washed, dried, and placed into the granary. Together with the chaff and hay, the granary took seven days from start to finish. When the last door was put in, the granary was considered complete.
[Excellent Granary: Indestructible + 23, Durability + 24, Fire + 28, Moisture Resistance + 26, Insect and Rat Repellent + 25, Mildew Reduction + 25]
As it turned out, Suhlen's granary was quite good. All the granaries in the future were built according to this model.
After establishing the standard, Su Lun asked the craftsmen to build according to this standard. Then he went to Hathaway's laboratory. The books and materials he got from the Necromancer last time had been given to Hathaway, along with some potions he got from the Necromancer. Today, Hathaway informed him that those potions had been identified.
He went to Hathaway's lab. Now, Hathaway's lab was several times bigger than before. The functions inside were more complete. When Suhlen came in, a clay golem opened the door for him.
Hathaway's lab was no longer the same as before. There were six clay golems alone. These golems were in charge of all kinds of basic work in the lab. Sometimes, they would also help Hathaway with some dangerous experiments.
"Hathaway, have these potions been identified?" Suhlen looked at the various bottles on the test bench next to him and asked. These bottles were no different from when Suhlen sent them.
"Yes."
Hathaway nodded gently. She didn't raise her head. She was holding a carving knife in her hand and was carving a dragon skin armor.
A mysterious runic array quickly formed in her hand. Then, Hathaway snapped her fingers. All kinds of materials that had been mixed flew out of the box next to her. These materials quickly fused under the control of magic. Then, as if they had a life of their own, they fused into the dragon skin armor that had been completely engraved with runes.
The aura dissipated, and the runes shone brightly. Then, the brilliance faded, and the dragon skin armor returned to its previous ordinary appearance.
[Strong Gale Dragon Skin Armor + 3: Indestructible + 10, Light and Flexible + 8, Spell Resistance + 10, Acid Resistance + 10, Spells: Haste, Bull's Strength. Once a day. Additional Effect: Deterrence]
Deterrence: Originated from the innate ability of dragons. Although Yaron creatures don't have a powerful dragon deterrence like a real dragon, their majesty is still a great deterrence to lower creatures. When the dragon skin armor was made, part of the Yaron's deterrence effect was retained. There was a chance to scare away unsteady enemies. There was a chance to cause a deterrence test to the enemy during battle. The enemy would have to undergo a Will Test.
Seeing this dragon-skin armor, Su Lun was also a little surprised. Hathaway's skills were getting more and more exquisite. This dragon-skin armor could be said to be the best among all the dragon-skin armors she made.
After putting away the tools, Hathaway picked up the black tea next to her and took a sip. Then she said, "The potions you got from the necromancer are not simple. I was shocked when I identified them."
"Really? Could it be that those potions can greatly increase one's strength after taking them? "Suhlen's eyes lit up.
Hathaway rolled her eyes and looked at him as if he was an idiot. "Do you think that necromancer would not use those potions himself and run around with them?"
"Maybe his brain had a cramp." Suhlen pursed his lips. Although he knew that the probability was very low, it didn't stop him from imagining it.
Hathaway ignored him. Instead, she took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the identification result and how to use all the potions you brought back. Take a look yourself. I still have to study how to improve the rock golems."
"How to improve the rock golems? You should make one to practice first and then improve it." Suhlen took the identification result and flipped through it.
[Manticore Venom: Venom collected from the venom sac in the manticore's body. Highly toxic. At the same time, it has the effects of paralysis, severe pain, and confusion.]
[Corpse Oil: Fat extracted from corpses. Can be used to summon undead creatures to increase the success rate of summoning. Poisonous.]
[Corpse Poison Potion: Corpse poison potion made from a variety of poisons. It can be used to add poison attacks to the undead. It can also be smeared on weapons. Those infected by corpse poison will slowly die if they don't have a cure potion or a priest's divine spell to dispel the poison.]
[Explosive Potion: After use, it can cause an explosion with a diameter of 15 meters. The strength of the explosion is 30 degrees. (The strength of the explosion of the fireball spell is 15 degrees.)]
[Corruption Potion: After use, it will cause a corruption effect. If the Constitution fails to resist, the body will rot in a short period of time.]
[Petrification Potion: A potion made from the heart of a petrifying lizard and other materials. After use, it will enter a petrified state. (If the petrified state is not removed within two hours, it will completely turn into stone.)]
[Plague Potion: After use, it will release a green plague. The plague will pollute water sources, kill trees and animals, and finally create a plague. People or other humanoid creatures infected by the plague will be resurrected as low-level undead. With enough Plague Potion, it can even transform an area into a plague zone.]
Suhlen's heart couldn't help but twitch when he saw the Plague Potion. Sure enough, these undead wizards were terrorists. They even brought this kind of destructive weapon with them. If this thing was used in a densely populated city, it wouldn't take long for the whole city to become a ghost town if it wasn't discovered or dealt with in time.
It was like a fantasy version of a biological weapon. After seeing the potion, Suhlen also remembered who this undead wizard called Keaton was. This guy was the Plague Bane of the Aubris Kingdom. The biggest thing he did was to use this Plague Potion to destroy a small city.
This potion was Keaton's secret recipe. It was also because of this potion that Keaton became famous.
There were more than 20,000 people in that small city. This was the most outrageous thing that an undead wizard had done in the past 200 years. Later on, this guy even wanted to create an Undead Calamity. However, he didn't think about it. With the suppression of the gods, those who dared to do so were basically dead.
Later on, Keaton was defeated by the combined forces of the Aubris Kingdom and the temple. This guy was lucky enough to escape. The Aubris Kingdom put a bounty of 500,000 Kinnar on his head. Who would have thought that he was hiding in the underworld?
This price was already very high. After all, the Red Dragon Queen's head was secretly offering only 5,000,000, but no one was willing to do it. The risk and reward were completely disproportionate. The Red Dragon Queen controlled the Golden Sea Route and the spice trade. Her annual income was more than that. Those people were offering too little.
Suhlen's heart ached when he thought about how Keaton's body had been destroyed by the Plague Potion.
Five hundred thousand gold coins flew away from his hands just like that. Even if he used Keaton's equipment to prove that he was the one who killed Keaton, the Aubrey Kingdom would still believe him. However, he wouldn't be able to get a single gold coin because the Aubrey Kingdom wouldn't pay him without Keaton's head.
