Chapter 16: Humble Changes

This time it was a lot of stuff that came back.

However, the gold and silver jewels found in the underground ruins were the least remarkable, and Goliath was not even interested in statistics. After splitting and transporting the Elemental Forge back, Golia and the Fallen Witch have turned all their energies to the study of the Elemental Forge and theorized that if the Elemental Forge can provide the energy to keep a city running, it will definitely be able to support the floating energy supply of a wizard tower.

The Floating City may still be a little out of reach, but the Floating Tower seems to be close at hand.

The two Northland witches in a research frenzy were so terrifying that even Sauron was impatiently driven out. In terms of the level of alchemy, Sauron still has too many basic skills to make up, and staying in place basically can't help. So while he still had a little free time, he simply solved one thing that he had always wanted to do in the past.

………………

Mordo City.

In the light of the morning light, people gradually woke up and started to work, the sound of hawkers on the streets, and the blacksmith shops in the distance were already ping-pong. The market of Modo City has long formed a unique pattern, and people live a life of sunrise and daily rest. However, the streets of Modo City seem to be a little different today, and many people can't help but gather, looking inside, with a curious look on their faces.

Sorcerer.

And a beautiful witch lord.

Naturally, there are not only a few wizards in Modo City, but there are only three people on the list. One is the Mistress of Mordo, Lord Golia, the mysterious Masked Witch (Fallen Witch), and the last is Lord Saruman, a plant wizard who has become a weirdo.

Except for these three wizards. There are also some low-to-mid level spellcasters in Modo City.

The first was Saruman's apprenticeship, which had grown in number since Sauron's support and now numbered more than thirty people. Although these apprentices were low-level wizards, Saruman was able to replace him in the task of refining fertilizer, which greatly saved him time and allowed him to concentrate on plant research.

Then there's the group of witches that Golia has recruited from the Northland Witches' Council.

These witches are a bit more powerful, and most of them are mid-level spellcasters. Due to the limited resources of the Witches' Council, they were unable to get more assistance from within the Council, so they chose to join Goliath's faction.

Don't forget a little.

Gloria is not only the mistress of Modo. He is also an important member of the Witches' Council.

The Northland Witches Council has its own faction, and Golia herself is a representative of one of the factions, and these witches have naturally received financial and material assistance from Modor City after taking refuge in her, and some have even moved to Modor City to assist Golia. Keep those golems running on a daily basis. It was these witch members who coordinated the Port Mordor Lighthouse and other things.

The last group of wizards was from the church of Sauron.

The Half-Elf Church also has its own wizarding community. It's just that the number is very rare, and the strength is all middle and low-level, adding up to about a dozen people, less than one-twentieth of the number of priests, and many of them are part-time wizard priests.

As for the Fallen Witch.

Hehe.

She really has no talent in this area, she is a typical person with a high IQ and low EQ, and some of the means are just an illusion formed by a relatively high IQ.

She had always been alone, and she had no wizards to help her.

………………

One of the witches in the crowd was busily directing the others. She didn't care at all about the curious gazes of the people around her, and after directing her men to erect a pillar. She reached out and checked it, and then she personally installed a beautiful crystal lamp on it, and then entered a little mana to test whether there was any problem with the rune route inside.

"It's a magic lamp!?"

Naturally, there were also adventurers with good knowledge next to him, and after looking at it for a while, he said, "Is the city hall going to install magic lamps in Modo City?" ”

It was a time of relatively primitive but also unprecedentedly developed civilizations.

Magic lamps are not very rare, but there are not many places where they can be used, most of them are in the homes of high-ranking nobles and spellcasters, and ordinary civilians are not even very willing to use candles. The only place Sauron has seen that is willing to use magic lamps on a large scale is Arendelle's Palace, where the Ice Witches have transformed the entire palace into a luxurious one. Compared to this kind of kingdom that has been in operation for thousands of years, there are some places in the city of Modo that are really shabby.

The witch didn't answer his question.

To tell the truth, the witches of the Northland are a bit proud, not men of equal strength and status, and often think that they are very arrogant, but this is just their habit of dealing with the world.

From the central square all the way to the city gates.

The length is about 1,500 meters, and a street lamp is installed every 15 meters on one side of the road, and it was Golia's witch group who was responsible for the installation, and a group of people were busy all day to complete it. On the other side of the central plaza is another team of spellcasters, whose task is a bit more difficult, as they need to install a large crystal lamp in the central plaza.

Don't know when.

A huge diamond-shaped lilac crystal appeared on each of the four sides of the central square, surrounded by iron frames by the casters, and then every twenty meters there was a lamppost larger than the side of the road, and the huge crystal lamp as the core was directly near the fountain in the central square, and the light could directly shine on the most magnificent building in Modo City, the Great Temple.

A group of witches worked hard for a long time to finish.

A third couple also returned in the evening, having already renovated the lighthouse in Port More.

Night falls.

Many people gathered curiously, Modo City did not have a curfew during this time, and compared to the mixed port of Modo, the city was still very stable and completely controlled by Sauron.

"Let's get started."

Sauron glanced at the light in the central square, nodded slightly, and said, "Connect the magic energy pipeline." ”

Next to her was a young witch with a new face, her expression was slightly excited, and she responded, "Yes." Excellency. ”

Goliath's witch group is still expanding.

Compared to cultivating a group of wizards by himself, it is not faster to dig into the corners of the Northland Witches Council a little, and now that Golia has advanced to the legendary realm, she is also qualified to gather a group of followers, and by the way, as a mentor to guide the younger generations of witches. Therefore, such a group of younger witches were blatantly poached, and the rest of the witches' council could not say anything.

"Wow!"

As the transmission of magical energy was established, exclamations could be heard from the central square, even from far away.

Lights lit up like stars in the quiet night sky, from the town hall to the central square, and then from the central square to the city gates, it took Sauron three days to finish, a total of seven hundred and sixty-two magic lights, of which the largest ones in the central square were directly transformed from crystal, and most of the others were restored from underground ruins. The circuit diagram of the entire lighting system in Modo City was drawn by Golia, and in her words, don't bother her now, especially for such small things.

When she said this, Golia's expression still had a little disdain, maybe it seemed to her that Sauron was in the mood to design such a thing as a street lamp, which should be a lack of business. Street lighting is not a difficult problem at all, basically any wizarding organization can do it, the real difficulty is the follow-up energy supply, without energy supply, magic lamps can only be made of some extremely expensive and rare materials, to ensure that they can last for a long time without charging.

Golia's expression was so angry that Sauron stripped her naked on the spot, and then smacked her fiercely, and she was naturally honest after the slap.

The efficiency of research has improved a lot.

………………

Curious people gathered around the square.

The priest in charge of the temple saw that the people spontaneously gathered to look at the lights, and felt that the atmosphere of the scene was very good and could be taken advantage of, so he simply arranged for the people to summon the believers to take advantage of this opportunity to hold a large prayer service.

"I didn't expect to miss the streetlights......"

Sauron stood under the night sky and looked down on the whole of Modo, and to be honest, he really felt a little unaccustomed to this barren era when there were no lights.

What he did today was nothing more than what he had wanted to do for a long time.

Looking at the city lit up under his feet, he really felt that Modo City was different this time, and it would become a place that surpassed any city in this era.

The lighting system is just one part of the future plan for the city.

People were initially very curious, but that curiosity quickly faded.

The street lights are lit at about six o'clock every day, and then until about eight o'clock in the evening, when the citizens of the city of Modo meet in the central square, and many worshippers pray in front of the church's shrine. Children would frolic around the fountain and be very curious to touch the largest crystal lamp in the center, but the parents quickly stopped them. Although there is no explicit rule in Modo City that you can't touch the crystal lamp, people are still afraid of accidentally breaking this expensive thing.

This is a rarity of Modo City, and it may be the symbol of Modo City.

People who have developed a sense of identity and belonging to the city have begun to defend the interests of the city in their own way.

Once again, everything is flat.

The city of Modo has recently started planting trees and flowers, and the little open space reserved in the city has finally come in handy. Although the town hall didn't know why Lord Sauron was suddenly in the mood for greening, they still strictly followed the order.

A few days later, a row of street lights began to be installed in the port of Modo.

Now the guards in charge of patrolling at night no longer have to carry torches and lanterns, probably because of the lighting at night, the tavern business is doing even later.

In this way, people quickly accepted the street lamp and became accustomed to it.
