"Fifty years ago, there was no concept of Northland. From an administrative point of view, there were many independent political systems and countries. But the sudden invasion of demons from the abyss destroyed the place we live in to pieces.
According to a small number of historical records, the 'Iron Curtain' was established by the devil to facilitate his own attacks. The 'Iron Curtain' blocked the sun and plunged the area of ​​400 kilometers south of the Icefield Mountains into darkness for a long time."
Zhou Qingfeng briefly talked about the situation of the 'Iron Curtain' based on what he knew. Although his understanding of the 'Iron Curtain' was very limited, the group of students below listened attentively because the latter knew even less.
The descendant of the evil insect once mentioned the word 'plane' before his death, but Zhou Qingfeng did not intend to talk about it casually.
Soon people were asking 'what is the sun?'
With the 'Gate of True Knowledge', there really weren't any common sense questions that could stump Zhou Qingfeng. The students' questions quickly turned into a general introduction to natural knowledge, and most of them were information they had never heard of.
After all the students had finished asking questions, the whole day had passed. Zhou Qingfeng was very pleased to find that many students were taking notes, and he immediately felt that it was necessary to publish a set of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" to popularize common sense.
Before nightfall, as a reward for having a good dinner, Zhou Qingfeng announced that today's exam had ended successfully, and all those who could take the exam were excellent. Lorraine who was the first to ask a question could get a scholarship.
scholarship?!
When Zhou Qingfeng handed the two gold coins to Lorraine in public, the first batch of students were all shocked. Lorraine herself was so happy that she almost fainted. She was screaming in her heart that she wanted to get the scholarship, but in fact she had not thought about it.
Can get it.
This is two gold coins, which is a huge wealth for the poor. Even if Lorraine was a slave, it would not be worth the price. But now, just because she asked a question, the sixteen-year-old girl got it.
Other male students were even more jealous and equally shocked. The lives of people in the North were not as valuable as cattle, horses, pigs, and dogs, and women were as lowly as dirt. Women among the untouchables could not even speak in front of nobles, otherwise they would be overstepping the rules.
But now a woman came out, stood in front of a dozen male students, and accepted an award from a noble. And according to this woman's story, she was just a commoner from a small town, even a pariah.
Could it be that this woman's beauty has been noticed?
The male students all looked sideways, paying attention to Lorraine's appearance - she was just a skinny little girl, her hair was frizzy and dull, and she still had a pretty face despite having eaten well for several days. She was not pretty at all.
Lorraine studies hard on weekdays, but her foundation is very poor, and she cannot make leaps and bounds in a few days. Moreover, the most knowledgeable among the students is not even qualified to take the exam, and it cannot be said that she is rewarded for her grades.
After much deliberation, no one could figure it out. In fact, even Seth couldn't figure it out. When he learned that Lorraine had disguised herself as a man to be an apprentice, his first reaction was to drive this unknown woman away. But Zhou Qingfeng
But I was very happy as if I had found a treasure.
"There are women coming to study? This is good news!"
In fact, before the exam, Seth knew one thing - as long as this girl named Lorraine didn't perform too badly, the scholarship would be hers. Just because she was a girl.
Seth also asked in a subtle way, saying that although this girl named Lorraine studied very hard, her foundation was actually very poor and she was not worth training.
But Uncle Zhou scolded Seth, and instead kicked out the 'former secretary' on the key training list, and added Lorraine's name in his own handwriting. Not only did he admire Lorraine very much, he also announced that he would recruit more
Many women are apprentices.
"Seth, you have to understand one thing. A group of bachelors may be able to conquer the world, but they cannot build a home. If we want our power to develop better and go further, we need enough outstanding women."
The training of the first batch of students was very successful. Zhou Qingfeng requested to continue to recruit the second, third and even fourth batch of students. He forced the gender ratio among the students to be equal and lowered the requirements for female students.
"This is an order, and it is also the basic policy I have set. You must implement it if you understand it, and you must implement it if you don't understand it. If you dare to violate it secretly, I will never forgive you." Zhou Qingfeng said this in a tone of voice
But it's very heavy.
Seth had no right to make a decision regarding this order. He only knew that if he wanted to please his master, he would have to recruit more female apprentices. But in the Northland, with a population of hundreds of thousands, knowledgeable men were rare, and women even more so.
It's scarce.
Seth has a new trouble, but he can still solve it. Roma, who works with him, has a trouble that is difficult to solve.
Since the goods were purchased at a 50% premium, the market in Banshee Castle began to fluctuate. Many merchants were anxious and desperately wanted to find Roma to sell them.
Although Zhou Qingfeng said he was open to acquisitions, most of the items on his list were materials that could be directly or indirectly used in the war. However, Banshee Castle is the commercial and trade center of the North, and there are many local specialties that are in urgent need of finding sales.
After buying it at a premium of 50%, the merchants in the entire Banshee Castle were calling Roma grandpa. But the noise was so loud that Roma was so frightened that he hid in his new home in the aristocratic area and did not dare to go out.
But he could hide from ordinary businessmen, but he couldn't hide from the powerful. Lord Jason, who had helped Rom a lot in the past, could directly rush to him and make demands.
This middle-aged wizard who likes to wear a pointed hat was aggressive this time. His eyes were red with anger. He grabbed Rom by the shoulders and shook him. He yelled: "Rom, you are waiting for all the things you did behind the scenes to be exposed. This time
Even I can't save you."
Rom has been refining stamina potions these days, and with the hidden servants controlled by Sophia, he is making money steadily and is very relaxed. Suddenly, he was grabbed by the wizard Jason and shouted, and he was almost paralyzed with fear - could he be behind Zhou Qingfeng's back?
The collusion was discovered?
"Jason... Sir Jason." Rom grabbed the other person's arm with his backhand, his fat face trembling with a cry and begging expression, "You have to help me, I just want to make some money.
, and had no other thoughts.”
"I know, but this time the matter is really big." Wizard Jason is loyal and has a sad face. "I really want to help you, but I really can't. I can't bear this responsibility. I can only come here now
Let me inform you..."
Do you want me to run away quickly? Are all my efforts in vain?
No..., no!
Roma's throat was blocked and his body was weak. He had to pull Jason to stand still, but he was so panicked that he could not speak. In the laboratory, the hidden servant who had stopped busy also quietly approached, as if he wanted to hear more clearly.
.
Wizard Jason also sighed repeatedly and shook his head. After sighing for a long time, he said, "The only way now is for you to quickly buy the goods in my hand. As long as I don't lose money, this will be fine."
solve?"
