The prosperity of the city made Zhenbei City more and more famous in the Northland provinces, attracting many merchants to come and trade. Now some people have called Zhenbei City a shining pearl in the northern wilderness.

The sugar, rum, vodka, fur, etc. produced here are all sought-after goods, and the sugar is monopolized by several powerful caravans, and others can't intervene if they want to, but although only these caravans monopolize the sugar trade, but when it comes to sales, they will sell the sugar to other caravans, and if they don't share some benefits, these chambers of commerce will have been swallowed up long ago.

The arrival of the caravan also made many people settle in Zhenbei City, although there were many fewer people who took the initiative to emigrate than Sulun, but this was a good phenomenon. Some people take the initiative to settle in Zhenbei City, which means that the attraction of Zhenbei City has greatly increased.

The rapid development of Zhenbei City has already attracted the attention of the Northland provinces, and if it weren't for the long distance, those nobles would have come here to get a piece of the pie.

Suren has received several official letters from the Council of Nobles, asking him to return to Carthusian City to accept the title reward, according to the style of the nobles, they will not do things that are not beneficial, why should people give you a knighthood for no reason, if Suren goes back to accept the title reward from the Council of Nobles, he must give enough benefits.

And once he accepted this title, Surenco officially became a nobleman of the Kingdom of Florence, and the city of Zhenbei would also be included in the territory of the Kingdom of Florence, and he would need to pay taxes to the king. You must know that the current Zhenbei City was brought down by Su Lun with a knife and a gun, and the development order was also purchased by him with money, and the same is true for all kinds of materials, Su Lun doesn't want to find a emperor for himself.

Now the territory he occupies is comparable to a viscounty only in Zhenbei City, although the population is far from enough, but as long as he is given time, it will be exceeded in a few years, plus the Mirror Lake City and Galloping Horse City (a city where centaurs graze) are now under construction, the territory controlled by Suren is no smaller than the earldom.

His own strength has also reached the legendary level, even if he is a self-proclaimed earl, it is no problem, but he does not plan to do this directly, if he directly proclaims himself an earl, he wants to recruit displaced people from the Florentine Kingdom, and it is not as convenient as it is now.

The construction of the triumphal arch in the north of the city is still in full swing, and the north gate of the north gate of the town will be sent with marble from the Lotas Mountains every day, in order to facilitate transportation, Su Lun has asked people to build a pontoon bridge on the Hongsha River and the Baishui River, and he is still considering whether to build a permanent bridge on these two rivers.

As for technical problems, in this world full of extraordinary powers, many problems can be solved with magic, such as the strength of buildings, as long as you use hardening on objects, even if it is originally a piece of wood, it will become as strong as steel, of course, if you want to perform hardening on the entire bridge, this is a big project.

After drying those gray dwarves for a day, Suren came to the prisoner of war camp again, and today several gray dwarves expressed their willingness to serve Suren, and came to the prisoner of war camp again, and those gray dwarves still cursed those betrayers, but this time the voice was much quieter.

For these gray dwarves who are willing to work for Su Lun, Su Lun will naturally not treat them badly, and still allocates a bottle of vodka to each of them, and asks them to arrange a place to live and work for them.

Speaking of the gray dwarves who were willing to serve Suren and send them away, Suren looked at the gray dwarves who were still holding on, and this time Suren thought of a new way.

"To celebrate the harvest of the vast wealth I have gained in Orlando, I have decided to give all of you Grey Dwarves a reward. Suren stood outside the fence and talked.

"You invader, bandit, that is the wealth of our gray dwarves. Hearing Su Lun's words, the gray dwarf, who had been somewhat quiet, became excited again. If the anger in his eyes could burn people, it is estimated that Su Lun would have been burned to ashes by now.

"Let's face it, I think you should be thinking more about where you are now. Suren said with a shrug.

"Considering that you haven't drunk alcohol for a long time, I have specially prepared some wine water for you today, and if you don't want it, then I will take it. Looking at the angry gray dwarves, Suren said with a smile on his face.

"Yes, we want. ”

"Give us wine!"

“...”

"Quiet!" Su Lun's face suddenly became cold and cold, and an aura belonging to the legendary powerhouse suddenly burst out from him, and those gray dwarves who were still shouting and screaming were like ducks stuck in their necks, and the boss with his mouth open, but he couldn't make any sound.

Seeing this, Suren waved his hand, and a group of soldiers walked up, and then handed out a wine glass about the size of a thumb to each of the gray dwarves, and then asked them to come up one by one to receive the wine in the order of queuing for dinner.

Such a small cup is not even a sip, the gray dwarves drink it directly, the rich aroma of wine, the mellow taste makes those gray dwarves want to stop. However, just this less than one sip did not satisfy the wine worm in their stomachs at all, but became more uncomfortable.

Originally, although these gray dwarves could not bear the problem of not drinking, they could at least hold on, but after taking a sip of wine, and it still tasted far better than all the alcohol they had drunk before, the consequences were avalanche-like.

After drinking that glass of wine, instead of feeling satisfied, they craved it even more. It's just that when they wanted drinks, Suren had already led people out of the prisoner of war camp.

On the third day, when Suren appeared in the camp again, this time more than two hundred gray dwarves asked to be willing to serve Suren, and the gray dwarves who had been scolding the betrayer before were all silent. Watching Suren distribute a large amount of vodka, those gray dwarves couldn't stand it anymore, and there were constantly gray dwarves expressing their willingness to work for Suren.

The gray dwarves, who were originally more than 700 people, ended up with less than 300 people still holding on. However, they couldn't hold out for long, and Suren had enough patience to slowly wear it out with them.

After getting more than 400 gray dwarves, Su Lun selected some of the blacksmiths to join the blacksmith shop, and with the addition of the gray dwarves, the level of forged iron in Zhenbei City was improved again.

The original blacksmith shop was no longer enough, Su Lun directly asked the workers to start upgrading the blacksmith shop, more than two hundred gray dwarves, plus humans, Su Lun was ready to build a large steel workshop.

The rapid development of Zhenbei City, although there are water conservancy forging machines, but the production capacity of the blacksmith shop is still a little insufficient, and now there are so many gray dwarf blacksmiths, Su Lun wants to change the entire army on the agenda.

The first thing these gray dwarves did as blacksmiths was to modify the gray dwarf armor that Suren had obtained from Orlando, although the gray dwarf's armor was very good and durable, but it was not even a half-length armor for those barbarians who were more than two meters tall to wear on their bodies.

These armors need to be modified, and then cast into full-body armor, and after those barbarians rise to the top, they assemble this dwarf full-body armor, and then pick up the giant axe, and when they arrive on the battlefield, they are completely like meat grinders.

Of course, in addition to the armor of these barbarians, Suren is also going to equip those centaurs with full-body iron armor to form a centaur heavy cavalry, because of their size, the iron armor they use is comparable to three iron armor of humans, the iron armor that Suren used to sell them is only the iron armor used in the front, and the back is chain mail and inlaid iron armor.

Now that he is his own subordinates, he naturally will not fool like this anymore, and the centaur heavy cavalry is ready to use all iron armor, and the vital parts in front of him have been thickened.

After arranging the gray dwarf blacksmith, the remaining gray dwarf Suren was ready to let them continue mining.

"My lord, I have here a map of the minerals of the underworld for you. A gray dwarf stepped forward.

Su Lun's eyes lit up, you must know that the gray dwarves have lived in the underground world for hundreds of years, and they must have discovered all the nearby minerals, and that mineral map is of great value. "Mineral map, if it's true, I'll give you the reward you deserve. ”

"Vodka is enough, and you are appointed as the new Lord of Orlando!"

Hearing Suren say that the vodka pipe was enough, the gray dwarf's eyes instantly turned red, and when he heard that he could become the city lord of Orlando, his breathing became a little heavier.

"My lord, the map is here. Saying that, the dwarf sat directly on the ground, and then took off the leather boots on his feet, and a strong smell of pickles that seemed to have been fermented for decades instantly spread, and Su Lun hurriedly summoned some wind elements to blow away the smell of pickles directly.

The gray dwarf fumbled around the shoe for a while, and finally pulled out a piece of gray parchment that smelled strange.

Su Lun frowned, put on his gloves, and resisted the urge to throw away the strange smell of parchment. A guard behind him handed over a bottle of water with great eyesight, and after Su Lun rinsed it briefly, he looked through the map.

The map is modest and shows veins found by the Grey Dwarves, including three iron ores, a copper mine, a gold mine (near depletion) and a silver and gem mine in progress.

So much gold in the city of the Grey Dwarves was mined from that gold mine, and Suren didn't pay much attention to this gold mine, after all, it was almost exhausted, and he was more interested in that silver mine, because the Grey Dwarves actually found some Mithril mines in this silver mine.

Mithril Ore is a very precious magical metal in this world, light as a feather and indestructible is described in many adventure stories, in fact, Mithril is not as exaggerated as said, it is more precious is its powerful magic conductivity, many powerful magic items, will use this rare metal.

Associated Mithril Ore has now been discovered in this underground silver mine, the value of which is simply immeasurable.
