The effect of the Tenacity of Death was very powerful, but it was not useful under normal circumstances. However, the effect of being immune to instant death and delaying death was still very good. With Suhlen's Physical Healing, it would not be easy for him to die even if he wanted to.
If his Advanced Regeneration talent was upgraded to Legendary Regeneration, Suhlen would become a meat shield. It was a pity that the Abyss Gnoll had escaped, but it did not matter. As long as it was still in the Northern Wilderness, he would meet it one day.
Suhlen looked at the various things left. The Lucky Gem was a beautiful gem that shone with a white light. It was smaller than a fist and had simple attributes.
[Lucky Gem: A magical rare gem. Legend has it that it can bring good luck to people. Effect: Using it when refining potions, making equipment, or forging weapons can increase the success rate by 25%. Of course, you can also choose to use it when the skill needs to be judged successful. Note: You are favored by the Goddess of Luck.]
"This is just right for upgrading the Purple Dragon Halberd. I just got a Reinforcement Stone. Let's upgrade the Purple Dragon Halberd together." Thinking of this, Suhlen immediately took out the Reinforcement Stone that he just got. The Reinforcement Stone was a red round gem. The gem was pure and contained a strange power.
[Reinforcement Stone: A rare magic gem. After use, it can upgrade a weapon or other magic equipment by one level. It is effective below Legendary (including Legendary). The success rate of upgrading a Level 1 magic item is 80%. The success rate of upgrading a Level 2 magic item is 70%. The success rate of upgrading a Level 3 magic item is 60%. The success rate of upgrading a Level 4 magic item is 50%. The success rate of upgrading a Level 4 magic item is 40%. Note: Items that fail to be upgraded will not be destroyed.]
The success rate of upgrading the two gems together was 65%. With the bonus from the Blacksmith Workshop in the Northern Town, it was enough for Suhlen to gamble.
Suhlen carefully put away the two gems. He was going to find a Blacksmith Master to upgrade the Purple Dragon Halberd after he was done with the things in front of him.
Suhlen had already obtained a Leaf of Wisdom, which could increase his spiritual power. He also had a Legendary Soul Crystal, which could not be used for the time being, but he could store it for now.
The Beastmen army had suffered a crushing defeat. Defeated soldiers were everywhere outside the North Town City. Even if half of the forty thousand Beastmen army had died in the battle, there were still twenty thousand of them left. Of course, only around ten thousand of them had died in the battle. The rest of the defeated soldiers had scattered and tried to break out of the encirclement. There were only fifteen thousand soldiers in the North Town City, including the Harpies. It was not easy to capture so many of them.
Even with the help of the Harpies and Centaurs, there were still many who managed to escape. On the second day after the battle, the number of captives was finally calculated. They had captured eight thousand Orcs, Trolls, and Gnolls. There were still ten thousand Orcs scattered around Northguard City.
The territory around the North Town City was a mess because of these people. After keeping the captives, Suhlen did not have time to let the army rest. He immediately ordered the army to split into small groups and clear out the territories around the North Town City.
After dealing with the defeated soldiers, Suhlen looked at the eight thousand monsters in front of him and felt a headache coming on. If they were races like kobolds and goblins, Suhlen would have taken them all as slaves. However, these monsters were all powerful races. Suhlen could not keep them all as slaves unless he prepared a few thousand soldiers to guard them. Suhlen did not want to kill them all. There were eight thousand of them.
In the end, he decided to sell these slaves to other slave traders. Orcs, Gnolls, and Trolls were very popular in the Gladiator Arena. The most prosperous cities for Gladiators were in the southern countries. These countries were rich because of the ocean trade. Because of their wealth, the nobles and merchants loved to watch Gladiator fights. The more exciting and bloody the fights were, the more they liked it.
In the southern countries, the fights between Gladiators and lions and tigers were just appetizers. Only Trolls, Ogres, and high-level Gnolls could satisfy them. It was said that tens of thousands of Gladiators died in the Gladiator Arena every year in the southern countries. One could imagine how popular the business was.
Sometimes, when there were some famous Gladiator Arena fights, there would even be bets of hundreds of thousands of Kinnar. Naturally, there were caravans from the southern countries in the Northern City. When they heard that the Northern City was going to sell a large number of Orcs, Gnolls, and Trolls as slaves, they quickly ran to the Northern City and asked to see Suhlen. Merchants from other countries also flocked to the city after hearing the news.
For this reason, Suhlen had no choice but to hold a slave auction. The slaves were divided into groups of twenty for the auction. Of course, in order to get more profits, Suhlen did not rush to hold the auction. Instead, he let the news spread for a while and let more people compete.
After arranging the auction, Suhlen began to clean up the mess. Because the Orc Shamans used Earthquake, two of the newly built city walls in the Northern City were destroyed. Even many houses near the city walls were affected. Many of them collapsed and needed to be repaired.
In addition to clearing out the raiders, the Northern City was very short on manpower during this period. After being busy for a while, he finally found time to upgrade the Purple Dragon Halberd.
The best blacksmith in the Northern City was a gray dwarf named Brandon Bronzebeard Ironhammer. He was a two-hundred-year-old Orc. He was one and a half meters tall. He had brown hair and a thick beard of the same color. His two arms were extremely muscular and did not look proportionate at all.
"Brandon, I need you to upgrade my weapon." Suhlen took out the Purple Dragon Halberd and handed it over.
"It's this Purple Dragon Halberd. It's said that this weapon has been stained with the blood of at least five Legend rank experts. I bet it will definitely become a legend. It's my honor to be able to upgrade this weapon!" Brandon said excitedly as he grabbed the Purple Dragon Halberd.
"But, why don't you make a normal hammer or axe? Lord, don't you think a hammer or axe would be better? After seeing your heroism on the battlefield, I even came up with a name for the weapon. Mjölnir or Thunder Axe. If you don't think these names are good, I even came up with a name called Storm Axe. What do you think? "
After receiving the Purple Dragon Halberd, Brandon did not check it out immediately. Instead, he tried his best to promote the hammer and axe to Suhlen.
Hammer? Suhlen imagined him fighting with a hammer. No matter how he looked at it, he looked like a maintenance worker. Suhlen immediately shook his head and completely drove the image out of his mind.
"I don't want a hammer. I want the original Purple Dragon Halberd!" Suhlen emphasized.
"Lord, I think you should consider a battle axe or a hammer. If you think that there is a problem with the quality, you can rest assured. We dwarves will make the best of —"
Suhlen waved his hand and interrupted him directly. He stared at him and said, "I don't want a hammer or a battle axe. I want a halberd!"
Brandon felt a chill run down his spine when he saw Suhlen's gaze. He could not help but nod. "Uh, as you wish."
After a few expansions, the blacksmith shop in Northern Town had become very large. As a Master Blacksmith, Brandon had his own personal forging room. Suhlen followed Brandon into the room and took out the materials to upgrade the Purple Dragon Halberd. Other than the Strengthening Gems and Lucky Gems, there was also a silvery-white metal that was slightly smaller than a fist. It was Mithril.
Other than that, there were some stardust, water demon blood, and arcane steel. Brandon was very surprised when he saw the two gems that Suhlen took out.
"These gems are so special. The power on them is so special!" Brandon said in surprise as he picked up the Strengthening Gem. "I feel that it can directly strengthen weapons and equipment."
"Yes, this is a Strengthening Gem. The other one is a Lucky Gem. They are both used to strengthen weapons. This time, I want it to reach the Legendary level!" Suhlen said as he picked up the other gem.
"Legendary!!!" Brandon's eyes widened. As a Blacksmith, he knew very well how precious a Legendary weapon was. One had to know that in the history of the Gray Dwarves, there were not many Legendary weapons that had been successfully forged. However, every Legendary weapon was famous. Now that Suhlen said that he wanted to strengthen this weapon to the Legendary level, Brandon instantly felt a lot of pressure.
"Don't feel pressured." Suhlen said when he saw Brandon's serious expression. "With the Strengthening Gem and the Lucky Gem, there's at least a 60 to 70 percent chance of success."
"With such a high probability and your craftsmanship, do you still think that it'll be difficult to succeed? Or do you think that your craftsmanship is not good enough? Don't tell me you can't do it! "Suhlen said as he glanced at him.
"Are you kidding me? My craftsmanship is not good enough? Why don't you ask around? I'm the best Blacksmith among the Gray Dwarves. Isn't it just Legendary? Look, this time I'll definitely forge you a Legendary weapon of the finest quality! " When he heard Suhlen questioning his Blacksmith skills, Brandon instantly became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He was instantly bristling. The hair and beard on his head stood straight up, giving the impression that he had suddenly grown ten centimeters taller …
"That's good. I'll be waiting!" Suhlen snickered in his heart. He was very satisfied with Brandon's high-spirited state.
After getting into working mode, Brandon was no longer as chatty as before. He directly raised the fire in the furnace. The red flames soared, and Brandon continued to add dye into the furnace. Soon, waves of heat rolled over, and the temperature in the forging room instantly rose by a few degrees.
The temperature of the furnace was so high that the surrounding air was distorted. The temperature of the furnace rose rapidly, and the flames gradually turned from red to orange. Finally, all the flames turned orange. At this time, Brandon put on a special insulating suit, picked up the Purple Dragon Halberd and placed it in the furnace to calcine it.
