In the wizard's tower, Rao, the 'chief of energy shaping', buried his head in front of the table and sighed. After reading a 'Brief History of Faerun Civilization', my heart was ups and downs, and I couldn't calm down for a long time.

Lord Rao did not borrow the speed-reading arcana technique such as 'Scholar's Touch', but patiently read it word for word. He believed that this book was worth taking seriously.

If you don’t see the world, you don’t know your own insignificance.

In the past, I felt that Coldwind City was very big and the Northland was vast. But the map of Faerûn made Rao know that the Northland was just an inconspicuous area in the corner of the continent. Faerûn only encompassed the entire planet Torrel.

part.

A human life lasts only a hundred years, and a fleeting moment in the long river of history. And the 25,000 years of civilization recorded in "A Brief History" are just an insignificant moment in the transformation of the planet.

The mystery of ancient times, the pride of dragons, the elegance of elves, and the overcoming of human beings. The time span of any text in the book is often hundreds or even thousands of years.

Thinking about his ignorance and arrogance, Rao suddenly felt that it was really embarrassing to be the 'chief' in the wizard group. Cold Wind City was too small, and the conflicts and disputes in the city were like the storm in a teacup, not worth mentioning.

Putting 'A Brief History' solemnly on the bookshelf, Rao's thirst for knowledge was completely aroused, and he became more and more interested in Zhou Qingfeng. He was eager to have a good chat with young people from outside, and even wanted to invite them to join the wizard group if possible.

.

After walking out of the exclusive study room, the apprentice outside the door presented today's supplies, most of which were necessary materials for casting spells. Rao took it casually, swept away his mental power, and let out a surprised sound of "Eh".

"Today's sulfur balls are good." Rao asked: "Who made them?"

Most of the evocation arcana spells are boom-boom-boom, and the most famous one is the 'fireball spell'. The casting material of this third-level arcane spell is the exquisite sulfur ball.

As the 'chief of energy shaping', Rao does not need to prepare these materials himself, it is the work of his disciples and apprentices. But without several years of study and practice, it is difficult for apprentices to do their job well.

If the apprentice cannot use it, it will be a huge headache for the teacher. The wizard's ability is far beyond ordinary people, and the consumption is far beyond ordinary people. Without a reasonable division of labor, trivial chores are enough to make it difficult for a wizard to move forward.

In Zhou Qingfeng's view, it is really stupid for the wizard to isolate himself in the wizard's tower and not have any contact with external affairs.

The apprentice who received Rao's praise and sent the item was very happy and bowed and replied: "This is purchased from Sir Hugo's Chamber of Commerce. It is very cheap and the quality is very good. The single-order membership is even more valuable."

Rao nodded, casually threw a moonstone to the apprentice as a reward, and asked: "Do you know where Sir Hugo lives?"

"It seems that I live in the manor of 'Chief Alchemist' Fabbro outside the city." the apprentice replied.

Rao frowned again. He didn't like Fabbro, and no one in the entire wizarding group liked the 'chief alchemist'.

Zhou Qingfeng's 'Harmonious Chamber of Commerce' also sells spellcasting materials. It has a good attitude, offers many discounts, and deliberately pleases its customer base. Fabbro is just the opposite. If others want to buy his things, they have to look at his face.

Fabbro has great abilities, but very poor popularity. In the past, no one in the city could compete with him, and the magic potions and items he refined were easy to sell. Faced with being sought after and flattered, he was so conceited that he looked down on other chiefs.

"From now on, all the needs of our energy evocation department will be purchased from the Harmony Chamber of Commerce. If you can't help but go to Fabbro's, don't go." Rao ordered.

The apprentice hurriedly bowed and nodded, and said happily: "Teacher, we definitely don't want to buy things from the Alchemy Department anymore. The goods sold by the Harmony Chamber of Commerce are so good and abundant, who wants to see the stinky faces of those guys from the Alchemy Department?"

Fabbro's attitude is bad, and the attitude of the alchemy wizards he manages is even worse. In the wizard's tower, low-level wizards and apprentices have long suffered from this. Now there are new sellers, and they are very happy.

The apprentice also made a special report: "Teacher, the goods we sold on behalf of the Harmony Chamber of Commerce were all sold at good prices. Your Excellency Hugo swept away all our scrolls and did not bargain at all."

Buying and selling, this is a long-term business. Rao was very happy about this. A wizard consumes a lot, so he needs a big profit. Otherwise, he cannot make ends meet, and his life will be difficult.

Compared with the alchemy system, which is good at manufacturing, the plasticity system has far fewer ways to make money, and money is very tight. As the 'chief', Rao also has to consider making money. He asked happily: "The Harmony Chamber of Commerce has a big demand in that area.

?”

"They are buying scrolls of 'Eternal Flame' in large quantities, and they are offering two hundred gold coins each," the apprentice said excitedly.

"Eternal Flame, Level 2 Evocation Arcana, this is exactly what we specialize in." Rao suddenly became happy, "We can make more, and the price of two hundred gold coins a piece is really good."

The 'Eternal Flame' is like a lit torch, which can illuminate a space the size of a classroom. This arcane spell is used everywhere in the Wizard's Tower. Because it will never go out, and the flame has no temperature, there is no danger of fire.

.

Zhou Qingfeng has always wanted to get a cheap lamp for lighting, not only for his own use, but also for the institutions and people under his rule. As long as you think about the role of electric lights in promoting modern civilization, you will know how much convenience good lighting will bring.

But if Zhou Qingfeng was to give thousands of households the 'Eternal Flame', he would be exhausted and couldn't do it. He could just spend money to buy it from a wizard. After all, it was only a second-level arcane spell, and many apprentices could cast it.

Although the price of a scroll of two hundred gold coins is extremely expensive, as long as there is no 'dispelling magic' or 'dark spell', the 'Eternal Flame' can always be on.

Do the math, a one-time investment will last a lifetime. Mines, schools, shops, hospitals, and government agencies all have needs.

The nobles of Cold Wind City will not consider ordinary people, but Zhou Qingfeng is happy to invest in public facilities. He firmly believes that this kind of investment will one day bring huge returns.

"What else does the Harmony Chamber of Commerce want?" Rao became interested.

"The Alchemy Department's 'Scribe' and 'Demonized Weapon', the Conjuration Department's 'Mount Technique', and the Prophecy Department's 'Language Knowledge' and 'Scholar's Touch'. They want many kinds." The apprentice said.

These are all first- and second-level arcane spells that almost every wizard can perform. It sounds like a good opportunity to make money. It doesn’t take much effort and time, but the benefits of making money are far greater than before.

For Zhou Qingfeng, the 'copying technique' can quickly copy books, the 'magic weapon' can double the strength of ordinary warriors, and the horses provided by the 'mounting technique' can run fast and steadily, making them a good vehicle for transmitting information.

As for 'Language Mastery' and 'Scholar's Touch', they are perfect for cultivating talents. Although these two arcana spells do not last long, they can allow an illiterate person to quickly experience the charm of knowledge and greatly reduce the difficulty of learning.

If these arcane spells are used well, they can produce talents in batches. Zhou Qingfeng even feels that using them in other worlds is a waste, because the real world has more knowledge, and the 'Holy Light Machinery' needs a large number of high-quality talents.

As for the little money spent on buying arcane scrolls, it's nothing. Uncle Zhou has nothing else but a lot of money.

When Rao came out of the space of the plastic energy system, he found that the entire wizard tower was in a happy mood. The wizards usually had a straight face, and all of them seemed to be in debt. Recently, everyone was in a good mood, as if everyone was

It's like winning a jackpot.
