The properties of the blast furnace were pretty good. The ores were completely melted after a dozen hours of calcination. Next, the gate under the blast furnace was opened, and viscous molten iron slowly flowed out of the blast furnace.
After the molten iron was stirred and cooled, it would become pig iron. If one wanted to refine pig iron into mature iron, they would have to add limestone and other materials during the calcining process to remove the impurities. However, these human craftsmen relied on their own experience to refine iron.
Suhlen didn't learn how to refine iron in his previous life, so his knowledge of metal refining was limited. He could only let the craftsmen slowly study it. However, although they couldn't directly refine iron or steel in the blast furnace, they could still refine iron or steel. But with the hydraulic forging machine, they could use forging to refine steel.
With the help of these machines, the production of weapons and equipment was several dozen times faster than before. It wouldn't be long before the soldiers of San Felto City had enough equipment to use.
.....
Northern Wasteland, Northtown City.
It had been nearly two months since Suhlen left Northtown City for San Felto City. After such a long time, the Martyr's Palace in Northtown City was finally about to be completed.
This wonder building was a set with the Arc de Triomphe and also required Battle Soul Stones. The final step required Suhlen to complete it himself. After receiving the report from the city hall, Hathaway used the communication array to contact Suhlen in the distant San Felto City.
After learning that the Martyr's Palace was completed, Suhlen gave some instructions to Phyllis and used a teleportation spell to return to Northtown City. Because he had the coordinates of Northtown City, the difficulty of long-distance teleportation was reduced a lot. The only problem was that it consumed a lot of energy.
After leaving the coordinates in San Felto City, Suhlen used a teleportation spell to return to Northtown City.
A magic light rose and Suhlen's figure appeared in Northtown City in the next second. After leaving for two months, Northtown City had already entered winter. The weather had started to turn cold, but the city was still very lively. Northtown City had become even more prosperous in the two months since he left.
Just as Suhlen appeared in the Lord's Castle, there was a flash of light. Hathaway's figure appeared, followed by the little succubus Chris and Alex.
"Your Majesty, you still remember to come back." Seeing Suhlen appear, Hathaway rolled her eyes and said.
Suhlen smiled awkwardly. He was indeed in the wrong for not coming back for two months, so he could imagine that tonight would definitely be a sleepless night.
"I've just obtained the Kingdom of Florence. I'm tied up with worldly affairs and can't leave, but I'm preparing to build a teleportation circle in San Filto City. I can come back at any time, and you can go there at any time."
Hathaway rolled her eyes and said, "I still have a lot of experiments to do. I don't have time to go to San Filto."
"I don't have time either. I've been managing Northtown City and the underground world all this time. I don't have time to go." Chris glanced at Suhlen and said grumpily.
"Don't look at me. If I agree, I'll be a traitor!" Alex crossed his arms in front of his chest. His already majestic chest looked even fuller.
"Don't." Suhlen's figure flashed, and he directly pulled the three of them to the living room.
"Staying in San Filto City is only temporary. Northtown City is my base. I know this very well, but I'm staying there for a while to stabilize the Kingdom of Florence. Once the Kingdom is stabilized, Northtown City will be the new capital. "Suhlen explained.
After some explanation, Suhlen finally coaxed the girls and promised them that he would come back for one day every three days. Only then did the three girls reluctantly agree.
Northtown City, Central Plaza.
A majestic palace stood on the east side of the plaza, only fifty meters away from the majestic triumphal arch. The entire building was made of marble and was thirty-six meters tall. It was as tall as the triumphal arch next to it. This was the marvelous Martyr's Palace.
There were many murals and statues carved on the outside of the Martyr's Palace. The content of the murals was basically the story of Suhlen's expeditions. The carvings were of high quality and could be considered works of art.
When Suhlen arrived at the palace, it was in a sealed state. Suhlen pushed open the doors and entered the hall. The decorations inside the Martyr's Palace weren't inferior to the outside at all. The reliefs, murals, and statues were all very beautiful. Suhlen went to the center of the Martyr's Palace. There was a tall platform here. He went up to the platform and took out two battle soul stones from his storage space. As soon as the battle soul stones appeared, he seemed to hear the clashing of spears and armored horses.
He carefully placed the two battle soul stones in the gap of the platform. With a flash of light, a powerful energy instantly rose from the altar and quickly enveloped the entire Martyr's Palace.
The heroic souls of soldiers slowly appeared in the Martyr's Palace. A faint hymn also sounded in his ears. This was the singing of the legendary angels. At the same time the Martyr's Palace was activated, the triumphal arch not far away also emitted a powerful energy. The two energies slowly fused together. The projections of heroic souls appeared in the sky above Northtown City one after another. The entire city was in high spirits.
[Ding! Congratulations Host, you have successfully constructed the Martyr's Palace. A triumphal arch has been detected in the surroundings. The Martyr's Palace and the triumphal arch have combined.]
[Martyr's Palace: A sacred palace made of marble and battle soul stones to consecrate heroic spirits and war souls. Majestic Atmosphere + 35, Indestructible + 40, War Soul Everlasting + 35, Martial Spirit + 38, Soul Nurturing + 25, Heroic Spirit Growth + 38. Special Effect: Heroic Spirit Space. Summon heroic spirits.]
[Heroic Spirit Space: This is a special space. War souls and heroic spirits can hibernate, grow, and recover their strength in this space.]
[Summon Heroic Spirit: Summon heroic spirits to assist in battle. Heroic spirits will return to the Heroic Spirit Space after death.]
Suhlen wasn't surprised when he saw the Martyr's Palace's attributes. From today onwards, the soldiers of Northwind Dukedom would be reborn in the Heroic Spirit Space after death. These war souls would also slowly grow. After some time, these war souls would slowly level up to heroic spirits. With the Martyr's Palace, the soldiers of Northtown City would be even more fearless.
After the Martyr's Palace and the triumphal arch were combined, the Heroic Spirit Space doubled in size. At the same time, it gained a new special effect, the War God's Blessing.
[War God's Blessing: In cities or regions blessed by the War God, the chances of newborns becoming excellent warriors are increased. Newborns will naturally gain + 1 Strength.]
After seeing the effects of the War God's Blessing, Suhlen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. All newborns gained + 1 Strength. This was an area-of-effect effect.
This special effect was very similar to the Sky Garden's [Elemental Land]. The only difference was that one increased the aptitude of a wizard, while the other increased the aptitude of a warrior. With these two special effects, Northtown City would have an endless supply of wizards and warriors. At the same time, more and more people would be willing to live here.
The completion of the Martyr's Palace caused quite a commotion. All the churches in Northtown City sensed the powerful energy. They all came out to take a look. After seeing the Martyr's Palace, these churches were also shocked. They raised Suhlen's strength by another level.
After completing the construction of the Martyr's Palace, Suhlen let out a breath of relief. He then returned to the Castellan's Palace to attend the welcoming banquet. It was a silent night. The first rays of the morning sun shone into the room.
Suhlen slowly woke up from his deep sleep. Suhlen had gotten a lot of satisfaction last night, so he slept until noon before waking up. There was still a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose, and his fingertips seemed to still have the soft and delicate touch from last night. The bodies of the women were like octopuses wrapped around his body, and even the messy traces of last night's madness could still be clearly seen.
Thinking back to last night's madness, Suhlen was still reminiscing about it. Coupled with the seductive bodies around him, his body became erect again. Last night's battle between the three heroes didn't tire him at all. Under his Thunderbolt Spear, the three women were utterly defeated.
They even had to call their two maids over to defend against Suhlen's attacks. Originally, their alliance was still very strong. Suhlen couldn't break through for a long time. In the end, he had to use his plasma cannon to break through the situation. With the support of the Thunderbolt Spear, Suhlen charged back and forth. The women's alliance crumbled in the end. Of course, they were defeated with honor. In the end, under Suhlen's ultimate skill, they could only wait to be slaughtered. It could be said that they suffered heavy casualties.
Suhlen struggled to get out of bed. He had a simple breakfast and then went to the new city located in the west of the Northern Citadel. The new city was fifty kilometers away from the Northern Citadel. With Suhlen's speed, he arrived here in no time. After not seeing each other for two months, the new city had changed a lot. The low and simple camp had disappeared and was replaced by a city wall.
The city wall was eight meters tall and four to six meters thick. Therefore, the city wall was made of bricks and rocks. The wizards then used Mud to Stone to create this solid city wall. Other than the city wall, many houses were built in the new city. Now, the workers here were living in the new houses.
When Boulder and Johnson knew that Suhlen had come here, they quickly brought people back. During this time, the two of them had been in charge of the defense of the new city. The bandits and monsters around the new city had mostly been cleared. A large number of monster slaves were also captured here.
Currently, there were five to six thousand residents in the new city. Its purpose was to protect the trade route and increase the population. With the increase of immigrants, this city would soon develop as the only way to reach the Northern Citadel.
