The evil god known as the Heartless had lost a divine power clone to Suhlen last time. Not only did he lose a lot of divinity, but he also killed all his believers. Suhlen helped him develop more believers this time in order for him to descend again.
Now, he had a few hundred kobold believers. Although the number was not high and the quality was poor, as long as they were given time to develop, it would not be long before the Heartless Evil God Church grew stronger again. By then, a blood sacrifice would be enough to lure the evil god down. Then, hehehe …
"My Lord, I have sent people to keep an eye on them as you instructed," a drow said respectfully.
"Be careful not to be discovered by them. Pay attention to their movements and report to me at any time," Suhlen said with a nod.
Suhlen stayed in Northtown City for three days before returning to San Filto City with Hathaway. This time, Hathaway came here to build an elemental pool and a teleportation portal in San Filto City. The elemental pool and the teleportation portal were not cheap. It would probably cost a few million Kinnar to build.
Fortunately, the kingdom's treasury in San Filto City had not been robbed. There were almost a million Kinnar in it. In addition to the treasury, Suhlen also plundered a lot of Kinnar from the exterminated nobles. These nobles had a history of more than a dozen generations. They were all very rich. Their combined wealth was more than the royal family's wealth.
Although some of it was used for the demolition and sanitation in San Filto City, there were still a few million Kinnar left. It was just enough to build the elemental pool and the teleportation portal.
After returning to San Filto City, Suhlen and Hathaway found Phyllis. Although he had not been here for three days, the nobles in Suhlen City were very obedient. Suhlen's previous massacre had frightened them. Even if he was not here, the nobles would not dare to do anything.
"You mean you want to build a teleportation portal and an elemental pool here?" Phyllis's eyes lit up.
"Yes, I'm going to build a teleportation portal between here and Northtown City," Suhlen said with a nod.
"There are a lot of magic materials in the royal treasury. I'll open the treasury in a moment," Phyllis said.
Suhlen nodded. Although he had a Kinnar, it was not easy to get the materials needed to build a teleportation portal with Kinnar. It would be best if he could find it in the treasury.
"Oh, right. A wizard came looking for you the day after you left." Phyllis suddenly remembered something.
"Wizard?" Suhlen and Hathaway were confused. He didn't have much interaction with wizards here.
Phyllis nodded. "They claim to be from the Emerald Tower."
"Emerald Tower. Hathaway, do you know this Magus organization?"
Hathaway nodded and said, "The Emerald Tower is a medium-sized wizard organization. There are five great wizards in it. If it weren't for the fact that there are no legendary wizards, they would have been classified as a large wizard organization."
"But this kind of wizard organization usually doesn't have too much contact with the secular world. What are they going to do with Suhlen this time?"
"I heard that when the first prince and the second prince were fighting for the throne, the first prince had the support of some wizards. But because of some unforeseen circumstances, the three princes went to heaven together. Could this Emerald Tower be a wizard organization that had contact with the first prince?" Suhlen suddenly said.
"That's possible." Hathaway nodded.
"But don't worry. If they want to cooperate, they can talk to them if they follow the rules. If they don't, I'll talk to them personally." Hathaway raised her head slightly and said with a proud face. As a legendary wizard, she had the power to say so.
"Did those wizards leave their contact information? Send someone to tell them that I'll meet with them in two days, "Suhlen said.
The construction of San Filto City was going very smoothly. The city's sanitation was being renovated very quickly. Now, there was very little garbage in San Filto City. Most of the roads had been replaced with gravel roads or stone slabs. The old and dirty slums had also changed greatly.
The original shacks were all demolished, and houses were rising from the ground. Other than these, Suhlen's construction of the city's water supply system was also progressing. In order to ensure the water supply of the entire city, it was not enough to rely on just one water tower. Suhlen divided the entire city into districts, and then built one or two water towers in each district to supply water.
Suhlen had already completed the blueprint and divided the districts. The water towers were already under construction. The water towers were made of iron armor and were in a triangular shape. When it was completed, a layer of stone would be wrapped around the tripod. At the top of the tower was an iron bucket with a diameter of three meters and a height of four meters.
The iron bucket was made of ordinary metal, but the metal had been treated with a special spell to become rust-proof. There was also a rune circle inside the water tower that would generate a whirlwind rune to draw water from the underground or the river to the tower. Other than these functions, the tower also needed to be engraved with a purification rune circle to purify the water before it could be drunk.
In this way, each water tower would need to be connected to the elemental pool and be powered by the massive energy of the elemental pool. Other than these, the water pipes also needed to be treated with anti-rust treatment. Hathaway had made a kind of anti-rust paint before. As long as it was applied to the metal pipes, they would not rust.
Other places could be left alone, but the palace needed to be installed as soon as possible.
On the third day after Suhlen's return, two wizards came to see Suhlen. Suhlen asked someone to bring them to the palace.
"Hello, Your Majesty." A tall wizard bowed to Suhlen.
"Welcome to San Filto City." Suhlen smiled. "Please have a seat."
The two wizards sat down, and the leading wizard continued, "In less than two months, San Filto City has changed a lot from the last time I was here."
"I've traveled to many cities before, but most of them were filled with a foul smell. The roads were muddy, and there was garbage everywhere. It was completely different from the current San Filto City. Your governance is the best I've ever seen. "
"This is nothing. If you've been to my territory, North Town City, you wouldn't be surprised." Suhlen smiled.
"I heard you supported His Highness before. I remember wizards don't interfere with the common world. Why did you break the rule this time?"
The two wizards looked at each other and said, "We supported His Highness because of a deal."
"Alright." Suhlen shrugged. It was just an unspoken rule.
"Then, may I know why the two of you want to see me?"
The leader hesitated for a moment and said, "We would like to make a deal with His Majesty the King."
"What kind of deal? Let's hear it. "Suhlen was interested.
"It's simple. We can support you as the king and send wizards to protect you." The wizard nodded.
"Sorry, I don't need any of that." Suhlen shrugged and said, "I'm the king now. I don't need your support. As for protecting me, are you as strong as pleasure demons?"
Edmund shook his head helplessly. Pleasure demons were legendary demons. It wasn't easy to kill them. Suhlen could kill a pleasure demon single-handedly, which showed how powerful Suhlen was. As for the wizards sent to protect Suhlen, they weren't as strong as Suhlen. It was hard to say who would be the one protecting whom.
It seemed like their offer wasn't enough to move Suhlen.
"If you want to work with me, please show some sincerity," Suhlen continued.
Edmund hesitated and said, "We're going to work with you to develop a mine."
"What mine?" Suhlen furrowed his brows.
"A silver mine!" Edmund smiled mysteriously.
"Just a silver mine?" Suhlen frowned. A silver mine was expensive, but it wouldn't be enough for the wizards to ask for cooperation.
No. They didn't want silver. They wanted another type of metal, mithril! Just at this moment, Su Lun suddenly understood.
A term popped up in Suhlen's mind.
There weren't many things that could make wizards lower themselves to work with them, and if they wanted a silver mine, they must have found mithril.
For the sake of this extremely expensive and rare metal, there had even been a dwarf tribe that had been wiped out in history!
Mithril might appear as an associated material of silver ore, and it was usually only found in worlds where the [Elemental Tide] had appeared. When the Elemental Tide appeared, precious minerals like mithril were more likely to be born. There was a 90% chance that mithril was present in that silver mine. Only such a huge profit could make those Magi take the initiative to talk about cooperation.
Mithril could only be found by chance. No one would complain about having too much mithril in their hands.
However, as long as it appeared as an associated mine, there would be a lot of mithril in the mine.
He was tempted.
Mithril was an important material for the construction of floating cities. The Floating City's incomparably expensive construction cost was largely due to the need for many extremely expensive and rare materials, and the core components of the Floating City required a large amount of Mithril.
Although he also had mithril mines in the underground world, he wouldn't complain about having too much of it.
The mining speed of mithril was very slow. Even an adept organization would need a lot of manpower and resources to mine a mithril mine, let alone a normal miner.
It was basically impossible for wizard organizations to mine mithril in secret. Suhlen wanted to build a floating city, so he needed a lot of mithril. Now that there was an associated mine with mithril, he wouldn't let it go. Mithril was an indispensable material for floating rings, anti-gravity devices, elemental drive devices, and so on.
