The navy camp needed to be built in Deepwater City. Suhlen put away the blueprint and looked at the rest of the things.
There was a crystal bottle and a scroll of information.
Suhlen took out the crystal bottle. There was a shining silver liquid in the crystal bottle, and the whole room was instantly illuminated with a layer of silver light. It looked as beautiful as the moonlight at night.
Countless starlight swayed in the crystal bottle. This small crystal bottle seemed to have contained the entire galaxy. It looked very beautiful.
"Moonlight Dew: the legendary magical dew condensed from the moon. It gathers a large amount of moonlight power. It has the magical effect of removing evil power, pollution, purifying blood, improving physical fitness, and speeding up the fusion of various energies."
Suhlen checked the attributes of the Moonlight Dew with identification. This bottle of moonlight dew could remove pollution, which was good news for Suhlen. He had not absorbed the divinity crystal stone he got after killing the Abomination, mainly because of the pollution and evil power on it.
Now that he had the Moonlight Dew, he could remove the pollution and evil power on it and speed up the fusion of energy, which could save him a lot of time. When he returned to Northern City, he was ready to integrate the divinity into his body.
Although the crystal bottle looked only the size of a palm, the space inside was still very large. On the surface, it seemed to only contain 50 milliliters of Moonlight Dew, but in fact, its capacity was one cubic meter, which was enough for a bath. Not only was it enough for Suhlen, but it was also enough for Hathaway, Phyllis, and the others.
After putting away the crystal bottle, Suhlen picked up the scroll next to it.
The scroll looked like it was made of a material similar to gold foil. Its texture was soft like paper, but it was very tough. Suhlen clearly felt that this scroll contained a strange magic power. This scroll was actually a magic item.
Using a magic item to record knowledge, Suhlen was suddenly very interested in this scroll.
The most famous magic scrolls in history were the artifacts, the Nether Secret Scrolls. There were a total of 108 Nether Secret Scrolls, which recorded the knowledge of almost all schools. This set of artifacts created a glorious era, and even the Arcane Empire was established on the basis of these scrolls.
It was the source of the rise of the Age of Thorium and the cornerstone of the birth of the great arcanists! In the Age of Thorium, almost all spellcasters gained a lot of knowledge from this ancient scroll. The ancient Arcane Empire civilization started from here.
Even now, Hathaway used a large number of spells that originated from the knowledge in the Nether Scrolls. The complete Netherese scrolls were divided into two parts, with a total of 108 golden scrolls. Legend had it that this scroll was written by the combined efforts of many ancient gods of order.
The upper half of the Netherer Scrolls had been destroyed during the Age of Thorium, while the lower half had been stolen. Their whereabouts were still unknown. Only a few scattered Netherer Scrolls were preserved in the entire multiverse. This divine artifact contained the knowledge of the creation of the Mise Energy Core. Even the original Floating City was built with the knowledge contained in it.
In the Age of Thorium, the great arcanists even felt that as long as they read enough knowledge in the Netherer Scrolls, it could help them directly become gods. It could be said that this was the origin of a powerful civilization.
The Netherer Scrolls not only contained a variety of mysterious and powerful knowledge, but these scrolls themselves were also powerful artifacts. When reading these scrolls, they could also obtain many powerful Supreme Magic Abilities and talents, and even directly upgrade one's profession level.
Of course, this artifact was so powerful, but not everyone could read it. After the experiments of the ancient Arcane Mathematicians, every time a scroll was read, one could upgrade one's level. The threshold for reading the scroll was very low, but most people could only read the first page.
Generally, people with strong minds and developed brains could read up to the eighth page, while most wizards could only read up to the fifth page. As for reading all the Netherer Scrolls, since the discovery of the Netherer Scrolls until now, no human had accomplished this feat. As for those who thought they were clever and wanted to read more knowledge, they were either crazy or their brains exploded from the knowledge.
Of course, there were also ways for humans to read more Netherer Scrolls without going crazy, such as divinity, or becoming a favorite of the gods. Divinity could rebirth matter, and naturally, it could also increase the limits of the human brain. If someone claimed to have read the entire set of Netherese scrolls, they were either bragging, or they were reading fake scrolls.
There was a limit to how much a mortal could read, because the mortal brain could no longer contain this knowledge. It was impossible to continue reading after digesting it for a few years. Only gods could read a lot of them.
The existing Netherer Scrolls were basically incomplete, and the knowledge recorded in them was not very important.
The scroll in Suhlen's hand was a remnant of the Netherer Scrolls. It recorded the knowledge of using spells to create a complete biosphere. As long as this knowledge was mastered, one could build a complete biosphere even in the astral plane.
This technology seemed useless, but in fact, it was an essential technology for the floating city. It was fine for the floating city in the Prime Material Plane, as it did not require overly complicated ecosphere technology, and could be replenished at any time and place, but once it entered the Astral Plane or went to other planes for interstellar colonization, this technology was too important.
There were many planes whose environments were not suitable for human survival. There was no air, no gravity, no water, and no sunlight in the astral plane. Without the support of a biosphere system, except for powerful wizards, ordinary people would die if they entered.
Therefore, biosphere technology was very important to the floating city. Only with a complete biosphere technology could the floating city drift in the astral plane for thousands of years without any supplies.
Suhlen picked up the scroll and looked at it. This scroll was made of gold leaf and was eight inches wide. There was a large amount of silver magic writing on the golden scroll. These magic words were constantly flowing slowly, as if they were alive. Suhlen's Netherer Scroll was incomplete. It was only six inches long, and the knowledge recorded on it was only about the construction of biospheres.
Even so, this Netherer Scroll was a very precious tool. One had to know that there might not be a complete Netherer Scroll in the entire continent now.
Suhlen simply looked at the Netherer Scroll. He could basically understand the knowledge recorded on it. Magic words were a very magical language. Even if you were completely illiterate, you would know the meaning of these magic scrolls when you saw them.
However, it was not so easy to understand. It would take at least a few months for an ordinary person to read a Netherer Scroll. How much knowledge they could master in the end depended on their own talent.
Suhlen's Netherer Scroll could not increase one's talent or metamagic abilities. It could only allow one to master some spells and knowledge. It was not very useful for increasing one's strength, but it was very helpful for improving one's control of energy.
After looking through the scroll, Suhlen put it away. Now was not the time to study these things. There was still no sign of the floating city. However, when he returned, he could first open up a demiplane to experiment. Even if he built the floating city in the future, this demiplane could be connected to the floating city.
After putting the scroll away again, Suhlen began to deal with the affairs of the city. After being taught a lesson by Suhlen, the surrounding nobles all became well-behaved. All kinds of resources were sent to the city, and the refugees who had escaped from the city were sent back.
The reconstruction of the city required a lot of manpower. Suhlen could not let the army rebuild the city, so he could only rely on the refugees. After receiving a lot of resources, Suhlen directly used the method of providing relief through work. Most of the refugees were poor. After Suhlen promised to work hard and give them houses after the city was built, the refugees became very enthusiastic.
In order to rebuild the city, Suhlen transferred a group of grass-roots officials from San Filto. These officials had basically just completed their training in the academy. They were also a bit flustered when they were brought here to work. However, with the army around and Suhlen's guidance, there were no problems.
These people had been trained and had a good foundation. Although they were a bit flustered at first, they quickly adapted, and all kinds of work were on the right track. Northern Citadel already had enough experience with this method of providing relief through work. As long as there were enough resources and grass-roots officials with good work efficiency and execution, it could be done easily.
This method of providing relief through work had been proposed in ancient times. It was first implemented during the reign of Duke Jinggong of the Kingdom of Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period. There was a story in the Spring and Autumn Annals of Yan Zi that said, "Due to the hunger of the Kingdom of Qi, Yan Zi was forced to provide relief to the people because of the battle at Lu Mu." To put it bluntly, this method had long been used by the ancestors. It was not a bad method, but why wasn't it popularized? The key was the problem of governance.
As long as the problem of governance was not solved, even the best policies would be useless. Many times, the country would allocate a lot of food during disaster years, but in the end, it would be good if even a tenth of it reached the hands of the common people. People were very familiar with all kinds of tricks like burning the granaries and borrowing food from the Yin soldiers.
Suhlen had the political education of the prison and the powerful supervision of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Those who dared to commit corruption were directly sent to the Eagle Castle to breed with the harpies.
Only such a strict system allowed the officials of Northern Citadel to fulfill the conditions of providing relief through work. Otherwise, according to the nature of the nobles of this era, they would be lucky if they did not sell the refugees as slaves.
