Synthesis Wizard

After the battle, Sunan counted the golems.

Because the raid went so smoothly, the golem army did not suffer much loss.

Those that were completely damaged and could not be repaired included 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 the minor injuries were self-repaired, and the serious injuries could be repaired at the base, which was not a big deal.

In fact, if the Sphinx had not taken the initiative to go out of the city to assemble, the loss of the golem puppets would have at least doubled under normal raids.

Now it is considered good.

The golems that needed to be repaired were put into the magic cube, and the rest were left on the island to guard. Sunan then walked towards the city with Carolina.

The war was over, and the next step was naturally to inspect his own territory.

This was also the first territory that belonged to Sunan in the true sense.

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

However, most of the buildings in the lower city are low and simple, and there is nothing to see.

It was not until entering the upper city that the buildings on both sides of the street began to become neat and tidy, with a little artistic style - the practical style that is seen everywhere in the underground world.

The city-state residents along the way saw Carolina following a human with a respectful demeanor, and they all widened their eyes in astonishment.

But no one dared to step forward to ask questions.

Sunan glanced at Carolina, it seems that the prestige of the human-faced lion nobles here is very high.

Ignoring these people, he walked straight to the stone pillar in the center.

After entering the stone pillar, Sunan found that the environment here is much more luxurious than outside, and there are too many rooms.

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

Such a large place, but only three nobles and the slaves who serve them live.

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

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

Sunan thought secretly.

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

In the future, he will definitely stay in the underground world often. It will undoubtedly be more convenient to have a place for himself to study and practice.

It would be better to build another magic plant garden, workshop and puppet factory here.

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

"In the basement." Carolina replied.

"Lead the way."

Under Carolina's guidance, Sunan soon came to a warehouse.

What came into view was a mountain of gold coins, boxes of gems, and various metals.

"My lord, this is the list of the warehouse."

Carolina handed over a list.

In the short moment after entering the city, the lion-faced noble had quickly adjusted his mentality, faced up to his slave status, and began to actively please Sunan.

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

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

Because there were many dwarves living there, Youhu's mining and smelting skills were not low.

They mined from the surrounding veins all year round and traded food and various necessities with other city-states.

They could also smelt metals and mint gold coins.

These gold coins in the warehouse were minted by Youhu itself. The front was a half-human, half-snake human-faced lion noble image, and the back was two crossed scimitars, which was very much in the style of a human-faced lion.

Because of the rich gold content, Youhu's gold coins were quite popular in the surrounding city-states.

However, if they were to be used on the surface, these gold coins had to be melted down and remade.

Sunan picked up a gold coin and weighed it, and he immediately had a bottom line in his heart.

The gold coins here were converted into gold coins on the surface, which were worth about 50,000 pieces.

This was undoubtedly a considerable amount.

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

What surprised Sunan was that there happened to be rare metals such as Abyssal Black Copper, Rainbow Iron and Sunfire Gold Sand.

Sunan estimated the amount, and adding what he had on hand, it was enough to make special nutrients that would make all eight gem worms split once.

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

Sunan secretly sighed.

In addition, there were twelve miniature soul crystals on the list.

This was beyond his expectation.

In his memory, the human-faced sphinx did not seem to be a race that was good at extracting souls to make crystals.

"Where did these soul crystals come from?" Sunan asked

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

"The Black Duke?" Sunan raised his eyebrows, "Tell me in detail."

Carolina hurriedly explained.

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

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

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

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

As for Kasham, it is more like a hive than a city-state.

There are nothing but bugs there, no other races at all, and the ones that exist are just food reserves.

In general, the three city-states of Youhu, Osen and Matu have traded with each other, and occasionally conflicts broke out over resource allocation issues, but when facing Kasham, they would unite against the outside world.

It’s just because the bugs in Kasham are keen on external aggression and expansion, they will attack other city-states every once in a while, and then be severely hit by the three major city-states, retreat back and lick their wounds silently, and when they recover, they will launch another invasion, and repeat the cycle.

Similar things have been repeated countless times over the years.

"Have you ever thought about completely solving the hidden danger of Kasham?"

Carolina smiled bitterly and said, "We did want to, but Kasham was dug in all directions by the group of insects, and the terrain is very complicated. It's okay to deal with the group of insects outside, but once we enter Kasham, our people will easily get lost, and the army can't be deployed. We always return in defeat. Over time, no one is willing to attack Kasham anymore."

It seems that this group of insects is quite tricky.

Sunan thought for a while and asked again, "How long will Kasham attack?"

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

Sunan nodded, that's fine, he has enough time to prepare.

After thinking about it, Sunan finally decided to keep the gold coins, which he could use to trade with other city-states in the future.

But the gold ore collected in the future must be transported to Camp No. 1 on the surface.

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

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

Before leaving, Sunan left a message.

Carolina hurriedly said, "Yes, Master."

Watching Sunan's figure disappear, Carolina came to the window and stared at the scenery below, her expression changing, and finally turned into a deep sigh.

At this point, I can only accept it.

The only consolation is that becoming a slave of a powerful wizard is not too bad.

Back in Flash City, Sunan first met with Key and told him about the capture of Lake City.

After hearing that the threat of the human-faced lion had been resolved, Key was overjoyed and completely relieved.

"It's considered a solution to a problem."

Sunan raised his eyebrows and said, "From your tone, are there other problems?"

Ke Yi shook his head and sighed, saying, "I don't know what the Star Fire Church has fooled the Grand Duke with. Just a few days ago, the Grand Duke issued a decree that all nobles must believe in the Star Fire Church. This matter has caused a big stir, and many nobles are very resistant to this decree."

"There is such a thing." Sunan was really surprised this time.

This is more controversial than the previous request that all provinces allow the Star Fire Church to freely spread their beliefs.

How much benefit did the Star Fire Church give to the Grand Duke Fanxing to make the latter issue such a crazy decree?

After a little thought, Sunan had a bottom line in his heart.

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

The only thing that can make him do such a thing is probably life.

The Star Fire Church controls the blood of the gods, so it is not surprising that it can do things like prolonging life.

But as far as Sunan knows, the means by which the gods can prolong life are often accompanied by the erosion of spiritual will.

While gaining a longer lifespan, it often also means losing one's self to a certain extent and becoming a loyal believer of the gods.

If the Spark Cult really takes this approach, it won't be long before the Grand Duke of Stars may become a puppet that they can control.

By then, the Principality of Stars may face great turmoil.

Sunan told Keyi his guess.

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

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

After that, Sunan returned to the base and immediately used rare metals such as Abyss Black Copper to prepare the corresponding nutrients and feed them to the gem worms.

"In about three days, the gem worms can split and increase to six."

"The remaining five nutrients will be fed to the gem worms after a while, so that the swarm can increase to eleven."

Sunan was delighted.

The harvest of this war is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bumper harvest.

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

Moreover, there are subsequent benefits, and the seven mines around Youhu City are still waiting for him to develop.

"To develop seven mines at the same time, a large number of clay golems and mining equipment are needed."

"Clay golems can be issued as tasks and let students in the base refine them."

"You can ask big brother to help prepare mining equipment."

"These are easy to solve, the key is the garrison troops."

There are many monsters in the underground world, and it is not certain which tunnel or cave has monsters, so all mines must be stationed.

Not to mention Orson and Matu.

According to Carolina, these two city-states have done a lot of looting Youhu resources (although Youhu has also done a lot), so the mines near these two city-states need to send more troops to garrison.

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

To be safe, it would be best to add some double-blade spiders.

Adding the troops stationed at Youhu Lake, the number of golem puppets needed is not small.

"I have to work overtime to refine them next."

Sunan sighed.

He can't get rid of this hard life.

There is no way, everything is for obtaining more resources.

He must develop those mineral veins as much as possible before the insects of Kasham attack and accumulate enough resources for the rapid expansion of troops.

In the following time, Sunan became busy again.

After Carolina appeased the residents in the city, Sunan began to work and transformed the palace (stone pillar) where the human-faced lions lived into a base, dividing it into a series of functional rooms such as laboratories, potion rooms, meditation rooms and spell training rooms.

Then he built a workshop next to the palace, and moved the puppet factory of Camp No. 1 and placed it next to the workshop.

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

Due to the special environment of the underground world - mainly the lack of sun, low temperature and humidity all year round - Magic Plant Garden No. 3 can only grow some special magic plants, such as Mandrake grass, Tranquil Flower, etc.

So far, a small base has been 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 magic stones were delivered to Youhu City, and the development of the surrounding mineral veins was officially put on the agenda.

Considering that the troops were still a little insufficient, Sunan did not develop all seven mineral veins at the first time, but chose the four mineral veins closest to Youhu City as the first batch of mineral veins to be mined.

Including a large iron mine, a medium-sized iron mine, a large copper mine and a small gold mine.

For these four mineral veins alone, the garrison and escort forces are as many as three elite stone golems, 350 stone golems and 50 double-edged spiders.

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

Double-blade spiders are mainly used to escort ore due to their flexible mobility.

By the time of the Sleeping Moon, the operation of Youhu City has basically been on track.

The four mines can continuously produce huge profits every day, and the growing income makes Sunan feel happier every day.

With the huge profits provided by the mines, many experiments and research can be put on the agenda.

And this is only the initial stage. With the development of the other three mines and the discovery of more mines in the future, the funds provided by Youhu City will only increase.

With such a huge gold mine, he will not have to worry too much about money for a long time in the future.
