Chapter 114: Building a city? Inspiration! (Fourth update)
After two days of rest, Raven discussed the affairs of the territory with everyone.

The construction of the houses is on track, and in another month all the refugees will be able to move in. Now they have fewer disputes with the locals.

Especially after the news that Lentini owned the Starlight Iron Mine spread, both the refugees and the locals were extremely excited.

A vein of mine means the rise of a city.

Their hearts were immediately tied to Lentini, and many of them flocked to the mine to find work, and public security was immediately greatly stabilized.

"Raven, we have two pressing matters right now."

Sean said solemnly.

"what?"

“First, build a wall as quickly as possible.

With the city wall, there is no longer a distinction between refugees and locals.

Everyone is a subject of Lentini, and the people are united. In the long run, this is the foundation for our development and growth.

Besides, more and more people know about the Starlight Iron Mine, and it’s only a matter of time before we’re targeted.

So there must be a strong wall to protect us."

Raven nodded, "This is indeed an urgent matter. What about the other one?"

"We must acquire another batch of weapons and armor.

The newly recruited soldiers are now only clothed and cannot go to the battlefield at all."

"No problem, I agree."

"It's no use just agreeing, where's the money?"

Sean spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

The atmosphere of laughter and harmony suddenly froze...

"Uncle, according to your estimate, how much will these two things cost?"

“Let’s start with the least. The equipment and salary for a new soldier will cost about a thousand gold coins.

This is the minimum. You want real armed warriors, not just random soldiers."

"That's easy to say."

“The wall issue is tricky.

If refugees are included, the population of Lentini has now exceeded that of the Viscountry.

Therefore, this city wall cannot be too small.

According to conservative estimates, the total cost would be at least 10,000 gold coins."

"Ten thousand?" Raven gasped.

Where did he get the money?
"Yes, we are building a wall, a wall that surrounds the whole of Lentini.
Whether it is the mining and transportation of stones or the hiring of workers, a large amount of gold coins is required."

"Uncle, you might as well sell us out."

Angie grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"Brother Ruiwen doesn't have much money left, and he still has to pay for Aunt's medical treatment every month."

In short, she was quite dissatisfied with Sean's proposal.

"It's a pit, a sinkhole!" Lanster kept shaking his head.

"I'm just telling the truth."

Sean spread his hands and smiled bitterly.

“I know the difficulties of the territory, but it must be done.

And have you ever thought about this? There is a war going on on the border. Once some intelligent people sneak in, we will be in danger immediately.

With the city walls, at least we can resist."

"This is a veteran's intuition," he emphasized at the end.

"Uncle is right. I think this matter cannot be delayed. We have to do it no matter how difficult it is."

Raven said slowly.

"I'll leave the matter of the city wall to you. I'll find a way to get the gold coins."

"Where do you get so much money?" An Qi asked.

Raven pointed to his right arm and said:
"Since I can make a revelation, it won't be difficult to make other re-demon weapons. I can sell them!"

puff!
Huey spurted out the water from his mouth.

"Bai Yueguang, you want to die, you splashed me in the face." Theresa said angrily.

"No... sorry, our boss is so fierce that he has to rely on his body to support our whole family."

Hughie had just finished speaking when he suddenly noticed that Raven was staring at him unkindly.

"Um... Boss, I remembered an important matter, I'll go take care of it." After saying that, he was about to run away.

"First, run fifty laps at the military training ground and do a thousand squats, then go do your work."

"Yes, Boss!"

"get out."

Everyone put away their smiles, and then Sean asked:
"Raven, making the re-demon armor requires a lot of precious materials. Where are you going to get them? That's not an ordinary expense."

"Don't worry about that. His Majesty and the teacher once gave me a batch of materials. Together with our starlight iron, it is enough for me to make some." Everyone's eyes lit up.

They seemed to see money rolling in.

You have to know that the Demonic Armament is a strategic material that everyone is vying for, and each piece can be sold at a sky-high price.

"That's great." Sean finally put away his sad expression.

"Hmph, don't be too happy too soon. My brother has limited materials, but this place is a bottomless pit."

An Qi was still dissatisfied.

"What a lousy territory, just forget about it."

"Angie, this is our home. How can it get better without investment?" Raven consoled with a smile.

He had another consideration.

Three years later, the Duke of the North will surely take crazy revenge on him.

If I die, at least I can leave everyone a place to stay.

"By the way, uncle, can we use some slag as the material for building the city wall?
I see that the slag at the mine has piled up into a mountain. Compared with stone, it is cheaper and easier to transport. "

Sean was stunned. Why didn't he think of this?

"Yeah, you reminded me!
We can build the frame of the wall with stones and fill it with slag. Although the strength will be weaker, it is cheaper and can be used in large quantities. "

Damn, isn’t this a shoddy project?

The more Riven thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Wasn't he just digging his own grave?

Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said quickly:
“Instead of using the filling method, the slag should be put back into the furnace, melted into starlight molten iron, and then poured into the frame.

When the molten iron solidifies, we will have an iron wall, which is a hundred times stronger than an ordinary stone wall!"

Raven was simply amazed at his own idea.

Isn’t this the concrete pouring technology from our previous life?

He's a fucking genius.

"Holy shit, Raven, what the hell is going on in your head?"

Lanster slapped his thigh.

"In this way, we can save the biggest amount of money on stone materials and get a wall that is ten times stronger. What a genius idea!"

"Hey, Lanster, you slapped my leg." Theresa said dissatisfiedly.

"Ah, I'm so excited."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

Sean rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Let me do the math. This way we can build the city wall longer and higher. Accordingly, the scale of Lentini can be several times larger. That's great!"

After discussion, everyone immediately took action, and Raven hurried back to the mine.

During the few days he was away, a lot of Starlight Iron Ore had accumulated there.

However, it only took him a few days to purify all the backlog of inventory.

Gradually, the supply of starlight iron flowing out of the furnace could no longer be met.

That day, Raven stood in front of the furnace with a frown on his face.

He had discovered that the limit to the output of starlight iron was the flame of the furnace.

The temperature of this ordinary flame is too low, making it difficult to carry out deep smelting, resulting in less starlight iron liquid and more impurities.

He discussed ways to improve the situation with everyone, but to little avail.

At this time, Sean on the side sighed:

"It's too inefficient. Even if these flames were the same as the ones on the Hellfire, it would be fine."

Raven's heart moved when he heard this.

Hellfire!
Yeah, why didn't he think of it.

The next moment he began to summon hellfire.

The door to the other world gradually opened, and a huge monster crawled out of it.

Raven was startled.

This time, the Hellfire was covered in black flames, was over five meters tall, and its aura was much stronger than before.

"Why has this thing changed?" Sean was also shocked.

"I don't know, is it because of my promotion?"

Raven thought it should be.

If this is the case, doesn't it mean that when he advances to the Heavenly Rank, this guy will also advance to the next level?
Thinking of this, he felt a little excited.

"What did you summon it for?" Sean wondered.

"look."

Revan commanded the Infernals to crawl into the furnace.

The next moment, something unexpected happened!
