The Heartless Church developed quickly. It only took a few days for the kobolds and goblins to become believers of the Heartless. Holl became the leader of these 500 Kobolds and Goblins, as well as the pope of the Heartless Church.
Holl even became a fanatic believer. Even the other Kobolds and Goblins had a few devout believers. Of course, most of the Kobolds and Goblins were shallow believers. However, with Suhlen's brainwashing method, Holl only needed some time to cultivate a few devout believers among the 500 Kobolds and Goblins.
Hundreds of devout believers and a few hundred ordinary believers provided a lot of Faith Power. Moreover, the Evil God liked blood sacrifices. If these believers were sacrificed, the Evil God would gain a lot of power.
Suhlen ordered people to keep a close eye on the Kobolds and Goblins. He didn't pay attention to them for now. With the church, the next step was to develop slowly. When the pigs were fattened up, they could be slaughtered. Right now, the pigs were at most a little piglet. Suhlen had spent so much effort, how could he not make a profit?
North Town City. This month's white sugar sales had begun again. The managers of more than 20 caravans were all present. Everyone was chatting and laughing in the hall. At this time, a middle-aged man walked in. After seeing this person, all the merchants immediately stood up and surrounded him.
"Manager Zeon, you're here. Please take a seat."
"Manager Zeon, this is the superior divine oil I brought from the Desert Kingdom. It can strengthen your body and cure all diseases …"
"Manager Zeon …"
The group of people fawned over him.
Zeon waved at them and went to the main seat in the room. He said, "You're all old friends. There's no need for these things. Let's discuss the quota for this transaction."
"Yes." The merchants immediately quieted down and sat obediently in their seats.
Zeon glanced around. When he saw that everyone was present, he said, "Due to some technical reasons, the white sugar production this time has decreased compared to last month. Therefore, this month's quota has also decreased …"
"Master Zeon, how much did it decrease? We're all counting on the white sugar to make money … "
"That's right, Master Zeon. We've lost money this time. We're just waiting for the white sugar to recoup our losses. We can't decrease the quota!"
As soon as they heard that the amount of white sugar had been reduced, the merchants below instantly went into an uproar. For a moment, the entire room was in an uproar.
"Quiet! Quiet! " Gene shouted loudly, but the merchants were all in a hurry and didn't pay attention to Gene's words.
Seeing this situation, Gene frowned slightly and then shouted, "Whoever makes any more noise will be disqualified from purchasing this month. His share will be divided equally among the remaining people!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the noisy scene instantly quieted down. All the merchants seemed to have become mute. The whole scene was a little strange.
"Let me finish!" Gene glanced at everyone and continued, "This time, the production has decreased. Everyone's share has been reduced to two-thirds."
Hearing that a third of their share had been reduced, the merchants were in an uproar. However, as Gene's gaze swept over them, they immediately became well-behaved.
"However, considering that you and our Beifeng Principality are old friends, we naturally won't ignore it." Zeon smiled: "The Lord has given the order that we can take out some white sugar from our warehouse and sell it at the same price."
Only then did the merchants breathe a sigh of relief.
"However, the rest of the white sugar is not something you can buy as you wish!" Gene's words caused the merchants who had just breathed a sigh of relief to worry again.
"Don't worry, we don't intend to raise the price. However, there is a condition for buying the white sugar."
"What condition?" The merchants didn't let down their guard.
"It's very simple. If you want to buy the white sugar, you have to first buy another product." Gene took out a beautiful amethyst bottle and then slammed it on the table: "Perfume!"
"Perfume? What's that? "Hearing Gene's words, the merchants looked at the amethyst bottle with some confusion.
"This is a new product that we have developed. It's very popular with women." Gene picked up the perfume bottle and opened it. A pleasant floral fragrance filled the air.
"This is Flower Dew?" One of the merchants asked.
"This is perfume. The effect is higher than Flower Dew. The fragrance is stronger and lasts longer," Gene said with a smile.
"Then, Sir Gene, how much is this perfume? And how much is the share of white sugar after buying the perfume?" Another merchant asked.
"The price of a bottle of perfume is 50 Kinnar. You can buy half a kilogram of white sugar!"
"Sir Gene, this price is a little high. 50 Kinnar. It's much more expensive than Flower Dew!"
"One bottle can only buy half a kilogram. That's too little!"
"Hehe, this is the Lord's decision. I have no right to change it. If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it. We can't force you to buy it. We, the Northern Town City, are honest merchants. We definitely won't force you to buy or sell!" Gene said righteously.
When the merchants heard Gene's words, they were speechless. What was that saying again? I've never seen such a shameless person before.
"This time, there are only 2000 bottles of perfume, so there's only 2000 kilograms of white sugar. Buy it if you've made up your mind.
"Sir Gene, I want to buy 200 bottles of perfume and 200 kilograms of white sugar!"
"I want 100 bottles of perfume and 100 kilograms of white sugar!"
"I also want 100 bottles of perfume and 100 kilograms of white sugar!"
After hearing that there were 2000 kilograms of white sugar, these people didn't delay any longer. They all shouted that they wanted to buy it. The 2000 bottles of perfume were sold out.
After completing the transaction, Gene excitedly went to report to Suhlen. After hearing that the 2000 bottles of perfume were sold out, Suhlen was also very happy. He ordered the factory to start production.
Suhlen was very confident in the perfume. When the next time came, these people would probably rush to buy it.
.....
The construction of the new city had begun.
Currently, there were more than 3000 people living nearby. When the construction of the new city began, some merchants came here to establish a foothold. When Suhlen arrived, the entire construction site was in full swing. It was a scene of prosperity.
The scale of the new city was directly built to accommodate 50,000 people. Now that the Northern Town City had enough manpower, they didn't have to build it step by step like before. They could complete it in one go.
The new city was built according to the blueprint. The first things to be built were the residential buildings and the city walls. These two buildings would be completed before winter.
The construction of the entire city was quite boring. This time, for the construction of the new city, all kinds of materials were prepared. There were a lot of bricks. After this period of development, the brick factory in the Northern Town City had expanded again. The production had more than doubled.
With bricks, the amount of work could be reduced. At least, they didn't have to use soil to build. If this work was done by an ordinary lord, except for the city lord's mansion, the other places would probably use soil. This way, the construction time would be greatly increased.
Very few people would use a lot of bricks to build the city walls. As for ordinary houses, they were directly built with soil and wood. Only the rich merchants and nobles would use bricks. Most of the city walls were wrapped with a layer of bricks on the outside and rammed earth on the inside.
The strength of this kind of city wall was lower than bricks. However, if the rammed earth city wall was strictly made according to the rules, the city wall's hardness wouldn't be bad. However, very few nobles would do so. Suhlen naturally wouldn't skimp on the work. The construction of the city had strict standards. Only a rich person like him would use a lot of bricks. Suhlen even planned to use Mud to Stone to fuse all the bricks into a whole city after these city walls were built.
In the Royal City of Florence.
Since King Henry was seriously ill, the atmosphere in the city had become more and more strange and tense. The most likely to obtain the throne were the eldest prince and the second prince. The two of them controlled nearly 80% of the entire city's forces, and the rest was controlled by various nobles. Less than 10% of the army was controlled by the third prince.
At this time, the third prince, Daniel, was listening to his subordinate's report with a gloomy face. "You mean His Majesty has been in a coma for two days?"
"Yes, the eldest prince and the second prince's men have surrounded the palace and don't allow anyone to get close. We also got some information from several nobles."
"Go and call the Shadow Walker!"
The third prince, Daniel, clenched his fist and slammed it on the desk, leaving a deep dent on the hard desk. He hadn't seen the king for more than a month. The eldest prince and the second prince cooperated very tacitly and blocked all the other princes except for them.
Daniel knew that they had even made a private decision to imprison or put the others under house arrest before making a move. This was to prevent others from picking the fruits of their labor while the two of them were fighting until the victor was decided. Just outside his mansion, there was always someone watching him.
"Sir!" A figure shrouded in darkness appeared in the room.
"Immediately spread the news that the eldest prince has the support of the wizards. I must let my good second brother know. This way, he will be scared and panic, and it is very likely that he will act first at all costs."
"As long as they start a war, no matter who wins or loses, they will suffer heavy losses. This is my chance!"
"They already control more than 70% of the power in the city. If we let them continue, we won't even have a chance to survive."
"Get people ready. Once one side becomes weak, help the other side and weaken their strength as much as possible. My father doesn't have much time left. Only I am qualified to inherit that position! "
