"Ugh!" Suhlen rubbed his head helplessly. This was indeed a difficult task. Karina and Grace were also learning all kinds of magic knowledge, but their skills were far inferior to Helena's. Alex's skills were a bit better, but not by much.
"How about this? I'll ask Andre and Lorraine to help you. They're both orthodox wizards," Suhlen said.
"By the way, I've learned some new knowledge. It'll be helpful for your ecological garden."
"What knowledge?" Hathaway immediately became interested after hearing Suhlen's words.
"Rune tattoos and rune engraving techniques!" Suhlen said as he took a sip of the nectar drink.
Hathaway immediately turned to Suhlen. "Rune tattoos and rune engraving techniques?!"
"Yeah!" Suhlen nodded.
Hathaway didn't have time to eat. Instead, she grabbed Suhlen's arm and asked, "Where are they? Hurry up and take them out. "
"Here, here you go." Seeing how persistent Hathaway was, Suhlen had no choice but to take out two books about rune tattoos.
As soon as the two books appeared, Hathaway immediately snatched them away. She didn't even eat and began to read. Seeing Hathaway like this, Suhlen shook his head and continued to eat his breakfast.
After breakfast, Suhlen left the Mystery Realm and returned to the Northern City. As soon as he appeared, he could feel the obvious coldness in the surroundings. Suhlen reached out and caught a few snowflakes falling from the sky. "It's snowing!"
Because of the Harvest Altar, the environment in the Northern City was quite different from the outside world. Although it was still snowing, the temperature was not too cold, and the territory would not freeze. It was already December. In the blink of an eye, he had been in the Northern Wasteland for almost two years.
"Time flies!"
"I need to build the wizard tower as soon as possible. Then I can build the wizard academy. Also, I need to prepare for the founding ceremony of my kingdom!"
The city was still bustling. Even though the trade route had been cut off, there were still many outsiders in the city. Some of them had decided to settle down in the city. In less than two years, Suhlen had built such a prosperous city in the wilderness, filling these people with confidence in Suhlen.
In addition, in order to recruit free people, Suhlen gave many benefits to those who settled here. For example, the price of land outside the city was five Kinnar per mu in the northern provinces, but here, it only cost three Kinnar. Of course, the land was limited to five mu.
Some mercenaries, who had been wandering for half their lives, used the money they had saved up to buy a property in North Town City. Being a mercenary was a profession that roamed the continent in all kinds of stories, but it was not as glorious as the bards made it out to be. They did not have any legendary missions or missions. They just wanted to fill their stomachs.
Their biggest goal was to save up some money and buy a property in a small town. Then, they could get married and spend the rest of their lives with a wife. However, many mercenaries could not do that. They either died in battles in the wilderness or had to change their profession due to disability.
Although North Town City was still harassed by some monsters, it had gained a firm foothold. The large tribes in the wilderness had been defeated, and the remaining ones were hiding far away. It could be said that there was nothing around North Town City that could pose a threat to him.
During this time, the population of North Town City had skyrocketed. The construction of the city was very fast. The wizard tower and the outer city wall had been completed. Suhlen planned to move some of the people to Mirror Lake City. The population of North Town City was maintained at 800,000 to 100,000 people.
It was winter in the Northern Wasteland. Not many tribes would migrate during this time. At most, there would be some tribes that did not have enough food to rob. Therefore, Suhlen asked North Town City to strengthen the security of the territory. Every day, they would clean up the territory.
When winter came, the fields outside the city were no longer cultivated. The construction in the city had also decreased a lot. However, Suhlen did not let the slaves and refugees do nothing. Instead, he sent them to the military camp in batches for military training.
If so many people had nothing to do, they would definitely cause some trouble. The military training did not turn them into an army. They were just some militia. Only a few of the best among them would be selected to become soldiers.
Hathaway became very busy again. She wanted to learn Rune Tattoos and Rune Engraving techniques as soon as possible. Suhlen had told her not to inscribe Rune Tattoos on her body. It would be very troublesome to level up again when she leveled up to Rune Engraving.
The wizard tower was now in use. Suhlen named it North Wind Tower. Hathaway did not object to the name. Her previous school was the Northern Witches, a school made up of all witches. Hathaway's previous laboratory had also been moved to the wizard tower. The old laboratory had been demolished.
After resting for two days, Suhlen came to the North Wind Tower. The person in charge of greeting him was not a wizard apprentice, nor a human. It was a three-meter tall stone golem. When it saw Suhlen come in, it bowed slightly and then said in a dull voice, "Master, welcome."
The wizard tower was owned by Suhlen. Hathaway had the same authority as Suhlen.
"Where are the wizard apprentices?" Suhlen asked.
"They are studying on the third floor of the wizard tower. Wizard Andre is teaching them!" The golem said.
Suhlen nodded. Then, under the guidance of the golem, he began to tour the wizard tower. This was the first time he had visited a complete wizard tower.
The interior space of the wizard tower was very large. In fact, most wizard towers had a very large interior space. Wizards used all kinds of skills to expand the space. Some powerful legendary wizards, after mastering the half-plane technology, would even transform one floor of the wizard tower into a half-plane. The space inside could easily fit a city.
Many wizard towers passed down by the ancient arcanists could still function normally after thousands of years. Any wizard tower of that era was very powerful. Suhlen's wizard tower was pitifully weak compared to them.
There were now two steel golems, more than twenty rock golems, and more than twenty gargoyle golems in the Wizard Tower. The gargoyle golems were placed on the outer wall of the Wizard Tower. If these gargoyles were not awakened, they would look no different from decorative statues.
A wizard tower needed an army of golems. Obviously, this wizard tower did not have one. Another important problem was that this wizard tower did not have a tower spirit. The creation of a tower spirit had to be at the legendary level. Hathaway's strength was still not enough.
The golem in front of him must have been cast by Hathaway's [Soul Enlightenment]. Its intelligence was much higher than that of ordinary stone golems. It was like an intelligent robot.
High-level tower spirits were somewhat like artificial intelligence, but more powerful than artificial intelligence. Suhlen was still learning alchemy. He was still very interested in golems and tower spirits.
Unfortunately, the requirements for mastering it were too high. Not only did it require a very high level of magic and alchemy skills, but it also required a lot of special knowledge. Suhlen was still unable to build golems. After all, he had only learned wizard instructions for a short time.
Strictly speaking, Suhlen was now only a level-10 wizard. Of course, because he had mastered the magic tattoo technique, his level could be slightly higher. As for building a mechanical life, Suhlen was still not sure. After all, the realm of the soul was too mysterious. Under normal circumstances, the soul part could only be studied at the legendary level.
He walked up the wizard tower floor by floor. Suhlen saw a lot of strange things. Some were magic devices that he could not understand, and some were all kinds of strange laboratories. Compared to Hathaway's laboratory, it was a world of difference. The previous experiment looked like a small workshop.
Squeak!
When Suhlen passed by a place that looked like a prison, he suddenly heard a sound that sounded like a mouse.
He turned around and looked. Immediately, he saw three giant bats locked in cages. These bats were all the size of washbasins and looked somewhat ferocious. Their mouths were full of sharp fangs, and they were constantly biting the cage in an attempt to escape. Unfortunately, their sharp fangs were completely useless against the cage made of special metal.
These were magic bats, which belonged to a special magical life. They had all kinds of abilities and were the most commonly encountered monsters in the wizard tower. They were creatures that wizards had modified and could be used to guard the wizard tower. These magic bats had a lot of extraordinary abilities, such as invisibility, stealth, detection, blood-sucking, and their attacks were also accompanied by diseases. They could be said to be the standard rookie killer. If you encountered a magic bat in the wild, the possibility of death was quite high.
On this floor, the golems responsible for guarding the tower were replaced by obsidian golems. They were big blocks that weighed about half a ton. Some of the specially modified large obsidian golems could weigh about two tons.
The surface of these golems was made of obsidian and had been specially treated. The surface looked very smooth, and its hardness was higher than modern steel. It also had alchemy enchantment resistance. The challenge level of these golems was a level-13 monster. Under normal circumstances, even a level-three knight would have to spend a lot of effort to dismantle an obsidian golem.
There were two more powerful steel golems here. The challenge level of the steel golems was 17. Some steel golems that had been specially strengthened were even higher.
Suhlen had dealt with this kind of iron lump before. Without a good weapon, facing this thing was like dismantling a tank with bare hands. Of course, there were more powerful ones, such as diamond golems, mithril golems, adamantine golems, and even spell breakers and arcane guards. One could totally imagine dismantling a gundam or an iron man with bare hands.
If one did not have the strength of the Hulk, one should not think about fighting these things. The most annoying thing in the wizard tower were these golems. They were also the main defense force of the wizard tower.
