Chapter 161: Festival-New Year

Su Lun is very interested in the study of spells, many of which are not powerful and destructive, but they are very convenient to use in daily life.

Many spells have been developed in a variety of different ways, even the original inventor of the spell could not have imagined, of course, sometimes in order to explore the wonderful use of some spells, some wizards will also overturn because of this, such as in the spell of hardening, hardening can make objects very hard, and the effect is permanent. This spell was used a lot during the construction of the Wizard's Tower.

But one wizard had a whim and cast a sclerosis on his fifth limb, and the spell was successful, but this guy became the opposite of the spell accident. The hapless child's fifth limb was as hard as steel, but it was inactive.

In the end, this unlucky guy had to remove this place, and if he wanted to restore it, he would have to spend a lot of money to hire a high-ranking priest to perform advanced repairs on him, or wait until he learned to clone and build a body for himself. The pioneer's actions were not ineffective, at least after the effects of sclerosis were explained, it was specifically marked that it was forbidden to perform sclerosis on a certain part of the body, and the consequences were borne by himself.

Chrissy actually knows a lot of spells, and as a succubus, she is naturally proficient in tongue tricks, so the difficulty of learning languages is greatly reduced. Of course, there are some additional abilities, such as flexibility. Suren and Chrissy have had several verbal battles, winning and losing each other, and this is also a repertoire between them.

Every day, Su Lun would spend some time exploring the mysteries of spells with the two young ladies, which also made Su Lun's mastery of spells more and more proficient.

The construction of the city is proceeding in an orderly manner, because of the harvest altar, the ripening time of the crops in Suren's territory has been accelerated a lot, and the sugar beets that originally took a year to ripen now only need seven months to mature, according to this calculation, it will take two months at most, and the first batch of sugar beets planted in the territory will be ripe.

Moreover, Suren found that because of the harvest altar, the territory could also grow some hardy crops in winter, which made Suren very happy, collected the seeds of those cold-resistant crops in the territory, and then sent people to plant.

During this time, due to the lack of raw materials, the sugar mill has stopped production, and the rum mill has also stopped. It's cold in the Northland, and many people like to drink a glass of spirits in the winter, and the rum in the tavern isn't very popular in the winter. After all, it doesn't have a high alcohol content, and the town doesn't have barley and other ingredients for making ale wine, but potatoes are still enough.

You can't make wine from barley, and you can make wine with potatoes. Su Lun has very little knowledge of winemaking, but now that he is a lord, he naturally does not need to use potatoes to make wine himself, as long as he explains it to those winemakers, those winemakers will naturally experiment.

During this time, Suren was building houses at the same time, and other buildings were also being built, and only the two main roads in the outer city area were repaired, and the other roads also needed to be repaired.

The market was established in the northwest of the town, which was close to the port and convenient for loading and unloading goods, and Suren established a professional trading market here to trade bulk goods, and in addition to the market, a commercial area was also built in the north of the town, where a large number of shops would be established in the future.

These shops are only rented and not sold, and when the population of Zhenbei City increases, it is a huge income to collect rent here every year. After all, the experience of his previous life told him that real estate is the country's 'pillar' industry. The house prices that are rolling up every year do not stop at all.

In addition to these constructions, Su Lun did not slack off on the security of the territory, and after the construction of the city wall in the north of the town was completed, Su Lun began to build the annex of the city wall, the Arrow Tower.

This time, there are sixty-four arrow towers, and each arrow tower will be equipped with ballistas, and the blacksmith's work schedule for the whole winter has been fully arranged, that is, the production of ballistas, these large war weapons with a range of up to 800 meters are one of the guarantees of the security of the territory.

If all the towers were built and the ballistas were all in place, even if the Frost Pterodactyl was coming, they would not dare to approach the city at all.

Moreover, Zhenbei City also has pterosaur knights, and as a system to hatch pterosaurs, their loyalty to Suren is full value.

......

The weather is getting colder and colder, and it snows heavily again in the Northland Wasteland, and this time the snowfall time is five days, and the whole world has become a white expanse, Zhenbei City because of the effect of the harvest altar again, the snow melted quickly, but outside Zhenbei City, the situation is not optimistic.

Just yesterday, as soon as the snow stopped, Ayton's reconnaissance camp found some clues in the northern forests. They found some footprints in the forest, but the footprints were not clear because of the snow, but they could still tell that they were not left by humans.

Su Lun was immediately very vigilant, wandering in the wilderness at such a time, there is a high probability that there is a lack of food. It is difficult for the races in the wilderness to store large quantities of food, and if there is not enough food during the winter months, they will rob other tribes.

In order to avoid a sneak attack on the territory, Suren immediately decided to send additional scouts, and the drow elves of the reconnaissance camp and the five human scouts were sent out to monitor the movements around the territory, and if there was any disturbance, they would report it as soon as possible.

There is also speculation in the heart of those monsters Sulun, it is likely to be the orc tribe. If it is really an orc tribe, it will be a big trouble for Zhenbei City, and the orc tribe that can suppress the centaur tribe is undoubtedly strong.

But because of the presence of the Centaur tribe, even if this orc tribe is strong, they can't draw too many people to attack Suren's territory. Suren is not afraid of the orc tribe attacking the territory, relying on the walls and protection of the current territory, it is not easy to attack here.

This caused an embarrassment, if the number of people sent was too small, it would not be useful at all, they could not even get close to the city wall, if there were too many people sent, then it would be difficult to say whether they could maintain the upper hand in the battle with the centaur tribe, after all, the centaur race talent is too strong.

The speed of their running, the sharp arrows that hit every hundred shots, the heavy cavalry regiments of sturdy armor and sharp spears, if it weren't for the superiority in numbers, the orcs would probably have lost.

After Ann was out on guard, Suren began to think about the New Year.

Although this world has a calendar and many intelligent races celebrate it according to custom, no one defines it as an important holiday. This is unacceptable for Suren, who likes to celebrate the New Year, and after coming to this world, he will also celebrate the New Year by himself every year when he used to live in Karen City. Now that he has become a lord, it is natural for him to set New Year as an important holiday in his realm.

In the previous life, there was a distinction between New Year's Day and Spring Festival, but there is no lunar calendar and AD calendar in this world, so New Year's Day and New Year are set on the same day. Su Lun set this day as a grand festival in Zhenbei City, and then the entire Zhenbei City will have a grand celebration to welcome the arrival of the New Year, and also hope for a better and happier year in the future.

At the same time, on this day, all will have a three-day holiday, with special posts and military personnel resting on a rotational basis. On this day, the territory needs to prepare a lot of food, and after learning that Suren is going to set up a New Year's holiday, the happiest person is the halfling Flordo, who is ready to show off his skills.

There is still some time before the New Year, and the New Year's Day is a time to be celebrated, so there are many decorative buildings in the north of the town, such as gardens, statues, fountains, etc.

Holding a celebration also requires a lot of food, in addition to potatoes, Suren also prepared a lot of meat, the most of which is fish, because near Zhenbei City, the Hongsha River and the Baishui River are not frozen, and there are a large number of fish in this river to spend the winter, and the catch is unexpectedly abundant.

After the construction of the residential area, Zhenbei City temporarily put down the construction of more lanes, but began to build flower beds on both sides of the road, and in the outer city of Zhenbei City, a central square also began to be built, and the central square was directly in front of the inner city.

In order to build this square in a short time, Suren brought Karina to help with the construction, and after the ground of the square was leveled many times by camel beasts, Suren and Karina began to turn mud into stone, transforming the entire square into rocky ground.

At the same time, a large fountain group was built on the square, the fountain was directly pulled from the underground water vein by Su Lun with the earth spring spell, the fountain group is composed of a total of more than a dozen small fountains, each fountain is a marble statue, and some of the statues are the scene of Su Lun fighting with a group of ice pterodactyls. There are also scenes where Suren kills the spirits of the troll ancestors.

The marble statues in the other fountains are also based on Suren-themed sculptures, which of course Suren arranged for those master carvers to make. Su Lun is not embarrassed at all, this is his territory, and these statues are not nonsense, they are all Su Lun's experience.

In order to carry out the celebration, Suren also specially found Hathaway and asked her to use catalysis to give birth to a batch of flowers, all of which were planted in the flower garden in the central square, and these flowers will all bloom on New Year's Day, of course, because of catalysis, these flowers bloom for only three days.

But even a short three-day flowering period was a miracle for the outcasts and slaves. This would grant great prestige to the realm and Suren.
