The Synthesis Wizard

Chapter 114 New Territory, Base 2 is built

After the war, Sunan counted the golems.

Because the raid went extremely smoothly, the Golem Legion's losses were not very large.

Those completely damaged beyond repair include one steel golem, three elite stone golems, 325 stone golems and four double-edged spiders.

The remaining golems and double-edged spiders were more or less injured, but they could repair themselves if they were slightly injured, or just go back to the base to repair them if they were seriously injured. It was nothing.

In fact, if the human-faced lions had not taken the initiative to gather out of the city, the losses to the golem puppets would have been at least doubled during a normal raid.

It's settled now.

Putting the golems that needed to be repaired into the Rubik's Cube and leaving the rest on the island for guarding, Sunan then walked towards the city with Carolina.

The war is over, so naturally the next step is to patrol your own territory.

This is also Sunan's first territory that truly belongs to him.

Compared to last time when he had to sneak in secretly, this time he walked in through the city gate openly and could calmly view the buildings in the city.

However, most of the buildings in Xiacheng District are low and simple, nothing interesting to see.

It wasn't until entering the uptown area that the buildings on both sides of the street began to become neater, with a bit of artistic style - a style that emphasizes practicality over beauty that can be seen everywhere in the underground world.

The city-state residents along the way saw Carolina following a human respectfully, and their eyes widened in astonishment.

But no one dared to step forward and ask questions.

Sunan glanced at Carolina. It seemed that the lion-faced nobles had a high prestige here.

Ignoring these people, he walked straight towards the central stone pillar.

After entering the stone pillar, Sunan discovered that the environment here was much more luxurious than outside, and the number of rooms was exaggerated.

Living room, dining room, living room, bathroom, kitchen, public rest area, meeting hall, etc. are all available.

In such a big place, there were only three nobles and the slaves who served them.

It has to be said that the life of the lion-faced nobles is much more luxurious than that of most human nobles.

"These rooms can be converted into laboratories and pharmacy rooms."

Sunan thought secretly.

The space inside the stone pillar is very spacious and can be transformed into another base.

He will definitely have to stay in the underground world often in the future. It will undoubtedly be more convenient to have a place for him to study and practice.

It would be best to build one more magic plantation garden, workshop and puppet factory here.

After walking around, Su Nan already had a rough plan in mind, and then asked without looking back: "Where is the warehouse?"

"In the basement," Carolina answered.

"lead the way."

Under the guidance of Carolina, Sunan quickly arrived at a warehouse.

What came into view were mountains of gold coins, boxes of gems, and various metals.

"Sir, this is the inventory from the warehouse."

Carolina handed over a list.

In just a few moments after entering the city, the lion-faced nobleman had quickly adjusted his mentality, faced up to his status as a slave, and began to take the initiative to please Sunan.

After taking a deep look at Carolina, Sunan took the list and browsed it carefully.

From Carolina's mouth, he already knew that this city-state was called Youhu.

Because there are many dwarves living there, Youhu's mining and smelting skills are quite high.

It mines from surrounding mineral veins all year round and trades food and various necessities with other city-states.

You can also smelt metal and cast gold coins yourself.

The gold coins in the warehouse were cast by Youhu himself. On the front, there is the image of a lion-faced nobleman who is half human and half snake, and on the back, there are two crossed scimitars, very much in the style of a lion.

Because of its abundant gold content, Youhu's gold coins are quite popular in surrounding city-states.

However, if they are to be used on the surface, all these gold coins must be remade.

Su Nan picked up a gold coin and weighed it, and suddenly felt confident.

The gold coins here are worth about fifty thousand when converted into gold coins on the surface.

This is undoubtedly a large sum of money

In addition, there are 236 medium and low-grade gemstones, five high-grade gemstones, and hundreds of rare metals.

What surprised Sunan was that there happened to be rare metals such as abyss black copper, rainbow iron, and sun-flamed gold sand.

Su Nan estimated the amount, and with what he had on hand, it was enough to make a special nutrient that would cause eight gem worms to split once.

"Sure enough, it is easier to collect all kinds of rare metals in the underground world."

Sunan sighed secretly.

In addition to this, there are twelve micro soul crystals on the list.

This was beyond his expectation.

In my memory, the human-faced lions don't seem to be a race that is good at extracting souls to make crystals.

"Where do these soul crystals come from?" Su Nan asked

Carolina said: "It was traded with Orson. The Black Duke and his men are very good at making soul crystals."

"Black Duke?" Su Nan raised his eyebrows, "Tell me carefully."

Carolina quickly explained.

With her narration, Sunan finally had a general understanding of the surrounding area where Youhu was located.

There are three city-states around Youhu, namely Osun, Matu and Kasham.

Among them, the rulers of Orson are a group of ghouls, and the city lord is called Black Duke, a frost ghoul.

The rulers of Matu are a group of vampires, and the city owner is called the Red Widow.

As for Kasham, it is more like an insect nest than a city-state.

There are only bugs there, there are no other races at all, and those that exist only exist as food reserves.

In general, the three city-states of Youhu, Osun and Matu have transactions with each other, and occasionally conflicts arise over resource allocation issues. Only when facing Kasham, they will unanimously deal with the outside world.

Just because Kasham's bugs are keen on foreign aggression and expansion, they will attack other city-states every once in a while, and then they will be severely damaged by the three major city-states. They will retreat back to lick their wounds silently, and then launch another invasion after recovering their strength, and the cycle repeats.

Similar things have happened countless times over the years.

"Have you never thought about completely solving the hidden danger of Kasham?"

Carolina smiled bitterly and said: "We would like to, but Kasham is dug in all directions by those insects, and the terrain is very complicated. It is okay to deal with those insects outside, but once we enter Kasham, our people will easily get lost. , the army was unable to deploy, and came back defeated every time. As time went by, no one was willing to attack Kasham anymore. "

It seems that these insects are quite troublesome.

Sunan thought thoughtfully and asked, "How long will it take before Kasham attacks?"

Carolina hesitated and said, "According to past experience, it should take two to three years."

Sunan nodded, that's okay, he had enough time to prepare. After thinking about it, Sunan finally decided to keep the gold coins, which could be used to trade with other city-states in the future.

However, the gold mines collected in the future will have to be transported to Camp No. 1 on the surface.

As for the remaining gems and rare metals, Sunan took them all away without ceremony.

"I'll give you five days to deal with the aftermath of the war. I want to see a stable Youhu City."

Before leaving, Sunan left a message.

Carolina quickly said: "Yes, Master."

After watching Sunan disappear, Carolina came to the window and stared blankly at the scenery below, her expression changing, and finally turned into a deep sigh.

Now, I can only accept it.

The only way to comfort yourself might be to be the slave of a powerful wizard, which wouldn't be so bad.

Back in Glitter City, Sunan first met Keyi and talked about the capture of Youhu City.

After hearing that the threat of the human-faced lion had been resolved, Key was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It solves a problem."

Su Nan raised an eyebrow and said, "Looking at your tone, are there any other troubles?"

Key shook his head and sighed, and said: "I don't know what kind of delusion the Spark Cult has fed to the Grand Duke. Just a few days ago, the Grand Duke issued a decree that all nobles must believe in the Spark Cult. This matter made a big fuss. Many nobles are very resistant to this decree."

"There is such a thing." Su Nan was really surprised now.

This is even more controversial than the previous requirement that major provinces allow the Spark Cult to spread their faith freely.

How much benefit did the Spark Sect give Grand Duke Fanxing to let him issue such a mind-numbing decree?

After thinking about it for a while, Su Nan felt confident.

With the status of the Grand Duke of Stars, what has he not enjoyed?

The only thing that can make him get it even if he does such a thing is lifespan.

It is not surprising that the Spark Cult has divine blood and can do things like extend life span.

But as far as Sunan knew, the methods used by the gods to extend life span were often accompanied by the erosion of spiritual will.

While gaining a longer life span, it often also means losing oneself to a certain extent and becoming a loyal believer in the gods.

If the Spark Sect really adopts this method, it won't be long before the Grand Duke of the Stars may become a puppet under their control.

By then, the Principality of Stars may be in great turmoil.

Sunan told Keyi her suspicions.

After listening, Keyi's expression changed and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Sunan didn't say much, patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

After that, Sunan returned to the base and immediately used abyss black copper and other rare metals to prepare corresponding nutrients and feed them to the gem worms.

"In about three days, the gem worms will divide and increase to six."

"There are five nutrients left. Wait for a while before feeding the gem bugs. This way, the colony can increase to eleven."

Sunan was delighted.

The harvest of this war cannot be overstated as a great harvest.

The harvest so far alone is enough to make up for the cost of refining the golem and double-edged spider before the war - the key is that the loss of the golem and double-edged spider is not large, and the rest can be said to be pure profit.

What's more, there are still subsequent benefits, and the seven mineral veins around Youhu City are still waiting for him to develop.

"Developing seven mineral veins at the same time requires a large number of clay golems and mining equipment."

"The clay golem can be posted as a task for the students in the base to refine."

"Big brother can help prepare the mining equipment."

"These are easy to solve. The key lies in the number of troops stationed there."

There are many monsters in the underground world, and there may be monsters living in which tunnel or cave, so all mineral veins must be guarded by troops.

Not to mention Orson and Mattu.

According to Carolina, these two city-states have done a lot of plundering the resources of Youhu (although Youhu has also done this a lot), so if they are close to the mineral veins of these two city-states, they need to send more troops to garrison them. .

According to preliminary estimates, at least 500 stone golems will be needed to guard and transport the seven mines.

To be prudent, it is best to add some double-edged spiders.

Coupled with the troops stationed in Youhu, the number of golems and puppets needed is not a small number.

"I'll have to work overtime again to refine it."

Sunan sighed.

I can't escape this hard life.

There is no way, everything is to obtain more resources.

We must develop those mineral veins as much as possible and accumulate enough resources for violent troops before Kasham's insects attack.

In the following time, Sunan became busy again without even touching the ground.

After Carolina appeased the residents of the city, Sunan began construction to transform the palace (stone pillars) where the human-faced lion originally lived into a base, dividing it into a series of laboratories, apothecary rooms, meditation rooms, and spell practice rooms. Functional room.

Later, a workshop was built next to the palace, and the puppet factory in Camp No. 1 was moved and placed next to the workshop.

In addition, Sunan also built a new magic plant garden in the city, named it No. 3 Magic Plant Garden.

Due to the special environment of the underground world—mainly the lack of sunlight, low temperature and humidity all year round—the No. 3 Magic Plant Garden can only grow some special magic plants, such as datura grass, Ningshen flower, etc.

At this point, a small base is completed.

Sunan named it Base No. 2.

Base No. 2 does not have as complete facilities and functions as Base No. 1, but as a temporary residence in the underground world, it is enough.

Not long after Base No. 2 was built, a large number of clay golems were delivered to Youhu City, and the development of the surrounding mineral veins was officially put on the agenda.

Considering that the military strength was still somewhat insufficient, Sunan did not develop all seven mineral veins at the first time. Instead, it chose the four mineral veins closest to Youhu City as the first batch of mineral veins to be mined.

It includes a large iron mine, a medium iron mine, a large copper mine and a small gold mine.

These four mines alone are guarded and escorted by three elite stone golems, 350 stone golems and fifty double-edged spiders.

Among them, elite stone golems are mainly used to guard large iron mines, large copper mines and small gold mines.

Due to its flexible mobility, the Double-Blade Spider is mainly used to **** ores.

By the time of the Sleeping Moon, Youhu City's operations were basically on track.

The four mines continued to produce huge profits every day, and the increasing income made Sunan feel happier day by day.

With the huge profits provided by the mineral veins, many experiments and research can begin to be put on the agenda.

And this is only the early stage. As the other three mineral veins are developed one after another, and more mineral veins are discovered in the future, the funds provided by Youhu City for him will only increase.

With such a huge gold mine, he won't have to worry too much about money for a long time to come.
