Obsidian had good physical and magical resistance. It was the main material for the construction of the floating city, and the amount consumed was astronomical. The foundation of a floating city must be built with obsidian, and cutting corners on other things was absolutely unacceptable.
As for using ordinary rocks and hardening spells, it was also impossible. The floating city was a super city that could fly freely in the sky and even in the Astral World. It was also the most powerful battle fortress of the wizards. He didn't want to use this method just to save money. If the floating city, which was worth hundreds of billions of Kinnar's fake, was damaged because of quality problems, Suhlen would have nowhere to cry.
The construction of the rock golem production line was not urgent. With the experience of building the clay golem production line, the rock golem production line needed further adjustment. Besides, he had just spent so much energy building the clay golem production line. Hathaway also needed to rest for a while. Otherwise, what if she was hungry and thin?
Although Hathaway had always been majestic, and Suhlen had measured it himself, he didn't want to reduce the heavy pressure on his chest. Any man would want to be big. Big was the truth.
After Suhlen returned to the Northern Town, Kris also returned from the underground world. After a period of mining, the underground world had begun to produce gold. In addition to gold, other metals such as silver, copper, iron, lead, and even a variety of magic gems were also produced in small amounts. The most important thing was the production of three kilograms of adamantine.
Adamantine was very difficult to refine. Ordinary blacksmiths had no way to do it. Only the dwarves had mastered the refining method. The blacksmiths of the human kingdom had no way to refine this metal. The wizards had a way to refine it, and it was more advanced than the dwarves' technology, but it was still very difficult.
Even in the era of the Arcane Empire, it was more troublesome to refine adamantine in large quantities. Although three kilograms of adamantine was not much, it meant that the Northern Town had a stable output of adamantine.
Adamantine was the same as mithril. Although it was indispensable in many cases, it was generally not used in large quantities. Although three kilograms was not much, it was almost enough if they saved a little every month.
Seeing that the little succubus Kris had returned, Suhlen was so excited that he couldn't sleep. During this time, he was so busy with work that he didn't have time to play a few rounds of Gwent with them. This card game was a multiplayer game. The more people there were, the more interesting it would be. This game had another name, which was Lei Feng's card game.
If he lost, he would have to accept the punishment. Suhlen had prepared everything. He found a box in the mezzanine of his study and opened it. There were more than ten kinds of whips of different lengths. These whips were also made of different materials. After selecting, Suhlen chose an exquisitely woven linen whip, several red cotton ropes, and several candles. Then, he went to Kris's room.
The game was very intense. The little succubus Chris and Suhlen were opponents. Halfway through the game, the little succubus could not take it anymore and could only beg for mercy. Suhlen then called the two half-elf maids, Angela, over to play Gwent together. Suhlen's spear art had reached the large success stage, and the impact was powerful. Everywhere he passed, there was no one who didn't beg for mercy.
The night passed in silence.
He hadn't played for a long time, and he was a little high last night. He was still a little lethargic, but the ending was still good.
The roads in Northern Town were blocked by heavy snow. The city was preparing for the New Year. The festival was brought by Suhlen. Only he would hold such a festival.
But at this moment, an Embroidered Uniform Guard brought news of the war.
"The rebellious nobles in the south elected the Medici family as their king, and they have established their own country."
"The Medici family ascended the throne and established a country?"
Suhlen, who was sitting on the main seat, was slightly stunned. The Medici family was also one of the Elector Families in the Kingdom of Florence. However, this Elector Family's strength had always been at the bottom of the Kingdom of Florence. He did not expect that they would dare to stand out this time.
Ever since he ascended the throne, the nobles in the southern provinces rebelled. Because he was not strong enough, Suhlen did not crusade against them. He only condemned them at the official level. The new army in San Filto City was not much. Suhlen's original plan was to pacify the north before marching to the south. In the end, the nobles in the south elected the Medici family to ascend the throne and establish a country.
This was no longer a matter of rebellion. Although the Embroidered Uniform Guard recruited by Suhlen had begun to infiltrate the south, they did not get much information. Now, not only had they ascended the throne, but they had also formed an army and were preparing to attack.
Suhlen, who received the news, could not sit still anymore. He was not worried about the Northern Citadel, but he was not worried about San Filto City. Without him, Phyllis alone would not be able to control the situation.
Suhlen returned to San Filto City through the teleportation portal. As soon as he arrived, Phyllis hugged Suhlen tightly and did not let go.
"What's wrong? Did someone bully my little baby? "Suhlen felt the moisture on his chest and asked softly as he caressed Phyllis's northern region.
"It's you, you big bad guy. You didn't come to see me for more than a month! I'll bite you to death! " Phyllis said as she bared her two little silver teeth at Suhlen and bit down hard on Suhlen's body.
Suhlen did not feel any pain. He was just worried that his skin was too hard and her teeth would bite him. He quickly controlled his muscles and pretended to be in extreme pain.
"Ah, I didn't do it on purpose! I'm sorry … Let me rub it for you! "Phyllis said nervously when she saw Suhlen's expression.
Suhlen chuckled in his heart. He lifted her up by the waist and carried her back to her bedroom, ignoring her resistance. Soon, a melodious song came from the palace.
Early the next morning, Suhlen called for a court meeting. All the nobles of San Filto City came to attend. When everyone was present, Suhlen asked a servant to come forward and announce the rebellion of the nobles in the south. He and Phyllis sat on the throne with no expression on their faces.
However, Phyllis seemed to be sleep-deprived and could not lift her spirits.
After the servant finished speaking, the nobles in the hall all had different expressions. To these nobles, ever since Suhlen ascended the throne, he had been weakening and suppressing their forces and taking over their interests. Those who dared to resist before had been suppressed by Suhlen. The remaining nobles kept everything in their hearts and were waiting for an opportunity.
Now that they heard that the nobles in the south had united to build a kingdom, they all wanted to watch a good show. The nobles in the south did not care about the rebellion of the nobles in the north. They even wanted them to come quickly and completely overthrow the cruel and corrupt Suhlen.
Of course, not all of these nobles wanted Suhlen to die. Some of them surrendered to him, such as Rex, who was the Minister of Internal Affairs. This Earl Rex was the first to surrender to him. He was also very proficient in internal affairs. Now, he was handling most of the government affairs in the Kingdom of Florence. Suhlen and Phyllis were just controlling the general direction.
Rex stepped forward and bowed. "Your Majesty, the rebels in the south have openly built a kingdom. This is a blatant rebellion. They even formed an army to attack. This is very strange!"
Although the nobles in the south were richer than the north, the south had been peaceful and prosperous for a long time. The strength of the army was very low. It was far from being a match for the northern army that often fought with the orcs. Now that they dared to take the initiative to attack, it would be strange if there was nothing strange.
Suhlen smiled leisurely and glanced at the nobles in the hall. "There is something strange, but don't worry about it. Since they came, let's just send them to their deaths!"
"Your Majesty, I am willing to be the vanguard and lead the army to kill all these rebels!" a general said loudly. Before he finished, the generals around him all puffed out their chests and patted Suhlen's chest. They all wanted to be the first to send troops to destroy the rebellion in the south.
These old men who had followed Suhlen since he was in the northern town had blind confidence in Suhlen's strength. Many of them worshipped Suhlen blindly. After so many battles, Suhlen was a god in these people's eyes. They were not worried that Suhlen would lose at all.
On top of that, Suhlen was very generous to his own people. The salary of the soldiers was very high, and they were given land. These generals were also given many castles and manors by Suhlen. As long as they performed meritorious deeds, Suhlen would not be stingy with the rewards.
When Suhlen ascended the throne last time, he rewarded two counts and six viscounts. Although these titles were not given land, they were still rewarded with many castles and manors.
Now that there was a chance to fight, these generals could not wait to put on their armor and go to war. They wanted to use the heads of the rebels to increase their ranks.
Suhlen did not say anything. His fingers tapped on the throne rhythmically. Soon, the hall quieted down. Only the rhythmic tapping sound could be heard.
"Are you done?" Suhlen sat up straight when he saw these people had quieted down.
"Since you are done, I will start now!"
Suhlen looked around and continued, "Since the rebels in the south are in a hurry to die, I will personally send them on their way."
The hall fell into silence. Then, it became noisy.
"Your Majesty, you cannot!"
"Your Majesty, as the king, how can you take the brunt of the arrows? As long as you give the order, I will definitely bring the Medici family back to you! "
"Your Majesty, I am willing to share your burden!"
When they heard that Suhlen was going to personally take action, the nobles who had already surrendered to him immediately tried to dissuade him. However, most of the nobles just pretended to persuade him. Their acting skills improved. If it was not for the fact that Suhlen's system data showed that their loyalty had not reached 60, he might have believed them.
Acting skills? They said it as if no one could. Suhlen immediately pretended to be arrogant and said, "There is no need to persuade me. I have made up my mind!"
