At first, there were twenty-four runes that he had learned from the High Elves. After many years of development, the number of runes that had been published in the Arcane Empire had reached thirty-six. It was said that some of the runes had been mastered by the Great Arcanists. There were rumors that the number of runes had reached more than seventy.
Each rune had its own unique power. During the Arcane Empire, there were even people who developed rune stones. They used a special method to make a rune into a gem, and then combined several rune gems according to a certain formula to make a powerful equipment.
However, the process of making rune gems had been lost. Most of the rune equipment circulating now were products of the Arcane Empire, and some were made from rune gems excavated from ruins.
Enigma was a spell sequence composed of a large number of runes according to a special arrangement. At first, the enigma of humans did not cover a large area, generally only 300 to 500 meters. At the same time, the enigma created by the High Elves could cover a city.
During the Arcane Empire, the enigma of humans developed by leaps and bounds and became the standard of wizard towers and floating cities.
After putting away the important spell book, "Enigma Principles and Creation," Suhlen took out the last remaining blueprint of the Building of Wonders.
[Building of Wonders Blueprint: Hero's Spirit Tower; after use, you can build a Hero's Spirit Tower of Wonders.]
[Hero's Spirit Tower: construction requires the Triumphal Arch. This is a tower built with iron and blood. It is the final home of a warrior. With this building, the martial spirit of the territory can be improved. Within 30 miles of the city, newborns have a 10% chance of becoming warriors. At the same time, the morale of all the soldiers in the North Town City + 20. The souls of the dead soldiers will enter the Triumphal Arch, and the chances of the souls of war becoming Heroic Spirits + 20. Martial Spirit + 35, Indestructible + 37, Strong Will + 35, Unyielding Soul of War + 28, with space of the Heroic Spirit Palace, space can grow.]
The Hero's Spirit Tower was not bad. It was a perfect match with the Triumphal Arch. With the Hero's Spirit Tower, the chances of the souls of war becoming Heroic Spirits would increase a lot. However, to build this building, he still needed two Battle Soul Stones. Suhlen did not have any Battle Soul Stones now, so he could not build it for the time being.
It wasn't easy to get a Battle Soul Stone. Suhlen had issued a mission to the caravans to purchase Battle Soul Stones. Over a hundred caravans from all over the continent had gathered in Northern Town City. As long as the price was right, someone would be able to get it.
After packing up, the atmosphere of the banquet in the palace was very hot. Su Lun came to the banquet in a good mood and greeted everyone. After staying here for more than ten minutes, he left the banquet.
After the establishment of the principality, life in Suhlen did not change much. After all, it was only a small country with a population of a few hundred thousand. There was no need to appoint ministers. The caravans that had come to attend the founding ceremony of Beifeng Principality also began to load up the goods produced by Beifeng City and leave.
Because of the celebration, Suhlen specifically ordered that the quota for this month would be doubled. Now, the most popular commodity in Northern Battlefront City had changed from white sugar to toilet paper. This kind of toilet paper was not only popular among the nobles, but also among the commoners. Of course, the nobles would buy the delicate, soft, and white toilet paper that was sprayed with perfume. The commoners would buy the yellow toilet paper that was of average quality.
When Suhlen saw that the toilet paper was selling like hot cakes, he immediately thought of soap and perfume. However, when he was about to start making them, he suddenly realized that he had no idea how to make soap. After all, he was not an engineering student in his previous life. He had no idea how to make soap.
Therefore, he could only let the craftsmen study it slowly. As for perfume, it was very simple. All he needed to do was dissolve the perfume with alcohol. The difficulty of making perfume was not low. The first step was to find high-purity alcohol.
The alcohol content of the drinks in this world was average. For example, ale had about the same alcohol content as beer. It was not easy to find a high alcohol content. At present, the highest alcohol content was the vodka brewed in Northern Town City. The alcohol content was only between 30 and 40%.
If he wanted to obtain high-purity alcohol, he would need to distill it. However, since vodka was selling well in Northern Town City, Suhlen did not plan to use vodka to make perfume. Therefore, he only made a few bottles for Hathaway and the others.
The celebration lasted for seven days. From this year onwards, this would be the National Day of the year. After the grand celebration, everything returned to normal. The commoners in Northern Town City once again began their busy lives.
The merchants seized the time to buy goods and make money. Every day, long caravans would come and go. The army also began their training and clean-up missions again.
Suhlen yawned and rubbed his sore head. The book "Enigma" involved too much knowledge. It was a bit difficult for him to study it. Fortunately, with the talent of Erudite, Suhlen's learning ability had been strengthened. It increased his learning efficiency by a lot. He was now studying "Enigma" while learning other wizardry knowledge.
After stretching his body, Suhlen put away the book and left the palace. Although he had become a Grand Duke, Suhlen still liked to wander around the city. This way, he could better understand the situation of the city's lower class.
A lot of things happened during this period. Some things happened in the southern sea. A pirate ship found the legendary Treasure Island. It was said that the island was covered with gold, silver, and all kinds of gems. The ship was brought there by a storm. When the pirates left, they recorded the route. As soon as they returned to the coast, the pirates on the ship had a fierce fight.
In the end, only a few people managed to escape alive. The map was obtained by the first mate of the pirate ship. The remaining pirates sold the information to other forces. As a result, many forces started to fight for it. Of course, the Northern Wasteland was thousands of kilometers away from the Southern Sea. It took a few months for the news to reach here.
It was said that this matter even alarmed the Red Dragon Queen. Red Dragons loved treasure very much. There was also some other news. For example, a marquis of the Lorenza Kingdom raised his flag and rebelled. He joined forces with another kingdom to attack the Lorenza Kingdom. The Lorenza Kingdom suffered heavy losses in the orc invasion last year and was now in a defensive state.
Although this was the latest news from Northern Battlefront City, the most recent news was from half a month ago. Suhlen listened for a while and went to the barracks. He planned to officially recruit the Embroidered Uniform Guards and establish an intelligence network in the northern city with the help of the eagle.
In the barracks, Suhlen gathered the soldiers in the barracks. There were not many requirements to recruit the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Their strength had to be grade 1 or lower. As long as the army in the northern city was a regular army, most of them were grade 2. A few of them were grade 3.
Suhlen picked 500 people in the barracks and spent 1,000 Kinnar to change their profession to the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
[Embroidered Uniform Guards: Special Forces. Specializes in spying, collecting, transmitting, and assassination. Additional Skills: Camouflage, Detection.]
The 500 soldiers Suhlen picked didn't have much of a change in strength after they were converted into the Embroidered Uniform Guards. They only gained some additional knowledge and two additional skills. Next, Suhlen built a house near the palace as the office for the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards were also officially named the Prison Guardians. They were given the first batch of 20 eagles. After the Embroidered Uniform Guards learned how to feed the eagles, Suhlen began to send them to other countries around the North Wind Principality to establish intelligence bases.
The 500 Brocade-gown Guards recruited by Su Lun were divided into groups of three or four. Each group would carry some funds or goods, and then leave Northern Town as caravans or wandering mercenaries. These Brocade-gown Guards would establish strongholds in some large cities.
These bases might be some taverns and hotels on the surface, but they would secretly collect local intelligence. Once there was something important, or something he thought was important, he would send the information back.
Part of the funds would be earned by themselves, while the other part would be allocated by the North Wind Principality. After all, intelligence was a very expensive business. How could three to five people in a city collect and transmit information? Of course, they would need to recruit some peripheral personnel. Why would these peripheral personnel collect information for you? Of course, it was because of money. Was it because they wanted to generate electricity?
Suhlen wanted to maintain a huge intelligence network, so the money spent was naturally very high. Of course, Suhlen could also sell information to outsiders, but this would easily expose himself. Suhlen hadn't figured out how to do it yet.
The number of eagles cultivated in the eagle nest wasn't many. Apart from a portion of the eagles left for the scouts, the rest were all given to the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Originally, Suhlen planned to let these eagles breed on their own and then cultivate them. This way, the results would be better if all the eagles were born in the eagle nest. However, the establishment of the Embroidered Uniform Guards required a large number of eagles. If he wanted to obtain a large number of eagles in a short period of time, he could only catch eagles in the wild and train them.
Suhlen sent out nearly a hundred Embroidered Uniform Guards. These Embroidered Uniform Guards would use various methods to integrate into various large cities and towns. Then, they would establish intelligence bases in the cities and towns. Each intelligence base would need about three to five eagles. This way, the eagle nest would need to cultivate hundreds of messenger eagles.
Of course, this was only temporary. If the number of Embroidered Uniform Guards' bases continued to increase, then the number of eagles would also increase. Fortunately, Suhlen didn't want to eat a fat man in one go. The establishment of an intelligence network couldn't be completed overnight.
