As for Suhlen's reforms, the slaves in the mine were only slightly agitated, but they soon calmed down. On the other hand, the poor people who came with Suhlen were all very happy. They were very convinced by Suhlen's conditions.
This was mainly due to Suhlen's previous policies. These poor people were different from the slaves. They were paid according to the amount of silver ores they mined every day.
Although the slaves were skeptical of Suhlen's words, they became more energetic when the sumptuous meal was delivered in the afternoon. Next, Suhlen ordered people to rebuild the miners' dormitory. The camp that was originally as simple as a shack was directly flattened.
If he wanted the workers to work hard, he had to make sure they were paid well. Those who didn't talk about salary and only talked about sleeping together with you were completely acting like hooligans. As long as the salary and salary were enough, it was not a problem.
The ores collected in the mine would be sorted. The normal silver ores would be transported to the smelting factory according to the previous procedures. The silver ores with silver blue particles would be sent to San Felto City. Then, these mithril ores would be handed over to the wizards to be refined.
The original manager of the silver mine, Harde, was re-assigned to the silver mine as the production team leader after going through a round of ideological re-education in prison. Although this guy was a little greedy, Suhlen had checked the previous production records. During the time he was the manager of the silver mine, the silver mine's output was at its peak.
It was obvious that this guy had some standards. Suhlen was currently lacking in all kinds of talents. Although Harde had many shortcomings, Suhlen still decided to use him. After going through the ideological education in prison, Hard had obviously realized his mistake. The fact that his originally fat body had slimmed down twice in just a week was the best proof of this.
It was also the first time Suhlen knew that prison had a weight-loss function. For the sake of Harde's health, Suhlen had decided to let him experience it once every three months. Hard would surely be grateful if he knew that Suhlen was so concerned about his health. Then, the matter was settled happily.
After working with the Emerald Tower to develop the Mithril mine, the construction of the Elemental Pool and Teleportation Portal in San Filto City had also begun. The Teleportation Portal and the Elemental Pool required a large amount of magical materials. After working with the Emerald Tower, most of these materials could be obtained from the Emerald Tower.
Of course, the Emerald Tower would not sell those precious magic materials. With the materials from the Emerald Tower and the help of the Sorcerers, the construction of the Elemental Pool and Teleportation Portal was completed very quickly.
The smooth marble floor was very beautiful. In the middle of the hall, there was a pool with a diameter of about six meters and a depth of one meter. The pool was seamless, as if it was a whole. A large number of runes were engraved around the pool. This elemental pool was located on the nodes of the surrounding earth veins. The entire elemental pool was plated with a layer of thorium.
Thorium was an alloy created by the arcanists to replace mithril. It was mainly made from silver and other metals, and it was quite good at conducting magic. In the four directions of the elemental pool, a carving knife was rapidly inscribing runes. The sharp carving knife quickly slashed, and lines of intricate runic matrices appeared.
"It's finally done." Hathaway casually put away the carving knives, and then checked the runes that were carved out. She then returned to the workbench at the side and took out four magic gemstones that represented the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water. Then, she took out four pieces of blue-silver metal that were only the size of a thumb. It was mithril.
Hathaway snapped her fingers, and a blue elemental fire appeared on her palm out of thin air. She used the elemental fire to melt a piece of mithril, and then used the Sorcerer's Hand to control the melted mithril to the top of the elemental pool that was just carved out.
She softly chanted a spell, and the melted mithril solution began to slowly fly up and turned into silver threads thinner than a strand of hair. They fell little by little into the elemental pool. The requirements of this process had reached the level of microns. The blue-silver mithril was quickly integrated into the runes, and the deviation could not be more than ten microns.
Under the control of Hathaway's powerful power of the will, the mithril perfectly drew the complex elemental array. Next, she used the same method to draw the remaining three elemental arrays. The cost of building such a medium-sized elemental pool was about 300,000 to 500,000 Kinnar.
Ruby, Topaz, Sapphire, and Emerald. The four magic gemstones were carved into twelve-faced crystals, respectively replacing the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water. Then, they were integrated into the four runic arrays of the elemental pool.
Hathaway stood on the edge of the elemental pool and snapped her fingers. A magic light flashed, and then a powerful magic energy instantly gushed out of Hathaway's body and entered the four runic arrays in the elemental pool. The runic arrays were activated at this moment, and the four runic arrays emitted a dazzling light. Powerful elemental fluctuations appeared in an instant, and the entire elemental pool rose up at this moment.
"Kacha!"
There was a sound like an eggshell cracking. Then, a crack appeared in the space above the four runic matrices. Through these cracks, one could clearly see what was behind the cracks. There was a boundless sea of fire, a thick yellow land, an abyss-like ocean, and a howling wind in the sky.
After these cracks appeared, they began to gradually stabilize. Rays of light constantly flashed, and a large number of runes appeared around the cracks, enveloping the four cracks. As the runes gradually disappeared, the four cracks became illusory like phantoms. Then, a ray of light flashed, and strands of elemental energy slowly flowed into the elemental pool from the four cracks. After these elemental energies mixed in the elemental pool, a drop of dark blue elemental water appeared in the elemental pool.
With the appearance of the first drop of elemental water, more and more elemental water continued to pour in, and soon covered the entire pool. As the light dissipated, the four cracks gradually disappeared into the elemental pool. These cracks were the elemental channels connecting the four elemental planes.
The four elemental planes were the oldest planes in the multiverse, and they were also the foundation of all material planes. They were constantly spreading elemental energy to the multiverse. The elemental pool was connected to the four elemental planes to quickly gather elemental energy.
The elemental pool in front of her had a standard elemental energy of 300,000. It was a medium-sized elemental pool. Although it couldn't be compared to the elemental pool in Northwind Tower, it was enough for San Filto City.
Maintaining a small team of low-grade stone golems (12 stone golems) required about 5,000 elemental energy. 300,000 elemental energy could support the consumption of a high-grade stone golem army. It was easy to use it to support the long-distance teleportation circle and the operation of some magic facilities.
After the elemental pool was completed, Phyllis began the construction of the teleportation circle.
Su Lun stayed in the silver mine for three days, and then returned to San Filto City. During this time, San Filto City had been busy with construction. All the roads in the city had been repaired, and the sanitary situation had changed dramatically. There was no garbage on the streets, nor was there feces all over the ground like before. The slums had also been demolished and turned into a busy construction site.
Riding lightly, Su Lun didn't return to Yunwu City directly with a dozen attendants. Instead, he wandered around the city and then went back. During the time when Su Lun was away, Phyllis had been in charge of government affairs. Now it seemed that she did a good job.
"Suhlen, you're back!"
Phyllis's figure quickly appeared. She was dressed like a queen and should have just finished discussing matters with the ministers.
"You've done a good job." Su Lun hugged Phyllis directly and then kissed her on the face.
Phyllis's delicate face instantly turned red. She whispered, "Let go of me. There are other people here. It's daytime."
Suhlen was slightly stunned. He then kissed her left cheek and whispered in her ear, "What are you thinking? I'm not that impatient! "
Hearing Suhlen's words, Phyllis's face turned red. She bit his shoulder hard with her silver teeth and then snorted coldly. She ignored him. Suhlen rubbed his shoulder with a bitter face and then pulled Phyllis back to the palace.
"Did the Emerald Tower's Magi behave strangely?" Suhlen asked.
Hearing Suhlen asking about serious matters, Phyllis didn't show any expression and directly replied, "The Emerald Tower's Magi are following Sister Hathaway. Some of them are enchantment on the water pipes and the water tower reservoir. Many of them are following Sister Hathaway to engrave runes."
"Seems like they're quite obedient." Suhlen nodded.
"Oh right, the elemental pool has been built. Sister Hathaway said that it's a waste to only use the elemental pool to support the operation of the teleportation portal. She wants to build a Magus Tower here. "
Suhlen frowned, "The cost of building a Magus Tower is too high. We've been spending money like water recently. The treasury can even run horses."
Suhlen frowned. Of course, he knew the purpose of a Magus Tower. However, the scale of the business now was too big, and the funds were a little tight. It would be very difficult to build a Magus Tower.
"It's not a Magus Tower like the one in the northern city. It's a small Magus Tower!" Phyllis said.
The construction cost of the Northern Town's adept's tower alone was several million Gold Nars. The total cost of the whole thing was over ten million Gold Nars. If it weren't for the supply of magic materials from the Secret Plane and the underground world, Northern Town would've gone bankrupt on the spot.
Of course, this was for a large Magus Tower. The cost of a small Magus Tower was much lower. Many Magi built a small Magus Tower after becoming a Great Magus. The tower was no more than 30 meters tall, and the cost was about a million Kinnar. After all, not all Magi had the support of a financial backer like Suhlen.
