In the world of sword and magic, the social structure is an extremely shrinking pyramid. The bottom layer is extremely large and weak, the upper layer is very small but very powerful. The middle class is extremely embarrassing, small in number, and average in power.
Rom's family is engaged in business in various cities in the North. The business is doing well, so that he can support the family's children to learn arcane arts. After he became an official wizard in Cold Wind City, he did not stay, but went to Banshee Castle to start a business.
"There is going to be a war in the North, and our family has placed its bets on the Phils family of Banshee Castle." Rom led Zhou Qingfeng into the house and spoke frankly, "I want to become an official in Banshee Castle."
position, but it’s not easy.”
"What does this have to do with you teaching a bunch of rookies?" Zhou Qingfeng visited Rom's house, a two-story building with a front and backyard, and many servants. The person who brought him here was Rom's housekeeper, "
You are living a good life now."
Rom smiled bitterly at this, "Last time the Black Forest destroyed the Bann Church, Tambos and I and several apprentices took advantage of the opportunity to obtain the status of official wizards. We were finally able to leave the mean and black-hearted teacher Fabro. For this, I also need to thank
What about you?
The last time I did business with you, I took a lot of demon ashes and elf materials to the south. I went back and forth for more than two months and made a lot of money. As for teaching those novices... I want to cultivate them.
A few apprentices."
Alchemists emphasize practical operations, and many things require collaboration. Official wizards always have a few apprentices who help them, and the quality of the apprentices has a great influence. Rom talked about his situation and asked Zhou Qingfeng: "Your Excellency, come to the Banshee Castle
do what?"
"It's the same as you. There's going to be a war in the North, and I want to see which of the various forces is stronger before I can decide what to do after the war starts." Zhou Qingfeng said with a smile.
As soon as Rom heard this, he pulled Zhou Qingfeng into his study and said seriously: "Don't think too much, the Phils family will definitely win. Even though there are many other families in the North, the Phils family has accumulated a lot of money in the past ten years.
The strength far exceeds theirs.
After this battle is over, I bet that the Phils family will establish a principality in the Northland and officially claim the title of king. Other cities will either bow their heads and surrender, or they will be expelled from the Northland and flee."
These words were so conclusive that Zhou Qingfeng naturally wanted to ask 'why'. Rom said anxiously: "The Phils family is rich. They have been controlling the trade in the North for the past ten years. Other cities have to compete with them.
for.
The city's main guard is being transformed into a family knighthood. There are more than 150 knights with territories, and the total number of vassal knights and attendants exceeds 500. The city also has a wizard group with more than 30 official wizards. I
I just wanted to join in.
Don’t look at the fact that other cities in the North want to defeat the Phils family now. If a fight really starts, someone will definitely defect. The ambitious companies are very scattered within themselves, and no one will fight hard to consume and let others take advantage."
This last judgment spoke to Zhou Qingfeng's heart. He is not afraid of his enemies being like gods, but he is afraid that his teammates are like pigs. The Phils family is willing to do their best, but their opponents may not be united. If the situation is really like this, the result will be known without fighting.
If the situation really develops like this, Zhou Qingfeng's men will be trapped in the Black Forest and unable to get out. Maybe "the common man is not guilty, but the treasure is guilty". After the Phils family has dealt with the heroes of the North, they will come to deal with him.
This grass-headed king.
At that time, Zhou Qingfeng would be making a lot of money in the elven ruins, but it was just to make wedding clothes for others. "It seems that it is most convenient to directly join the Phils family."
"Of course." Rom whispered again: "Sir Hugo, would you like me to introduce you to the nobles of Banshee Castle? You have helped me, and I will be happy to repay you."
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not here in an official capacity, so it's not convenient for me to meet the local nobles. I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
Rom invited Zhou Qingfeng to visit the alchemy laboratory he had set up at home. "If I can join the wizard group of Banshee Castle, I can receive a monthly allowance of at least 150 gold coins from the Phils family. A formal knight can
Take eighty gold coins.
This is money you can get for nothing if you don’t work. You can imagine the strength of the Phils family. The Long-Leggs family in Cold Wind City can’t compare to it. If I am willing to serve the family, I can also have extra income. This is comparable
It’s much better to be an apprentice.”
Rom's laboratory was built underground, and there were a lot of bottles and jars of stuff. Zhou Qingfeng frowned slightly when he came in. It was too messy, and the equipment was far inferior to the virtual alchemy laboratory in the 'Gate of True Knowledge'.
"I spent all the money I earned from doing business on this laboratory." Rom was quite proud and waved his hand, hoping to get some compliments from Zhou Qingfeng.
But Uncle Zhou was lamenting in his heart that alchemy technology had been re-invented once again, and the level of the laboratory in front of him was not as good as that of the elves a thousand years ago. He casually grabbed a tool on the experimental table and asked: "You didn't
Use activated tweezers?"
"What activation tweezers?" Rom asked strangely.
Zhou Qingfeng did not answer, but continued to ask: "Who are the wizards in the Phils family, and what are their levels? What is your teacher Fabbro's status compared to them?"
"The level of the Wizarding Group?" Rom scratched his head, "It should be said that it is not bad. If my teacher came, he would not be ranked in the top five."
"If I help you join the Phils family's wizarding group, can you also do me a favor and provide some inside information or something." Zhou Qingfeng asked again.
Rom smiled and was overjoyed. He shook his head and said: "Sir Hugo, I admit that you are great, but you need the approval of the wizard to join the wizarding group.
This can't be done with money or brute force. I have been working hard on this for two months and I haven't found the way yet. It is not easy to get the recognition of the Phils family."
Zhou Qingfeng pointed to a pharmaceutical proportioning table on the experimental table and said: "This proportioning table is wrong. The so-called 'acid-base balance' theory was proven to be ridiculous nonsense a thousand years ago. What are you doing?
Where did you copy it from?"
In his own professional field, Rom could not tolerate any slander from Zhou Qingfeng. He said angrily: "Sir Hugo, what are you talking about? This is the matching table left in the notes of the great arcanist Kemal.
"
"What Kemal?" Zhou Qingfeng recalled the many celebrities he knew in the elf history books, "I have never heard of such a person. What is his full name?"
"Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, a great founder of arcane magic. I spent a lot of money to buy the fragments of the notebooks he left behind." Roma was indignant, as if he was greatly affected.
insult.
Sophia searched for this name in a large amount of book knowledge from the 'Gate of True Knowledge', but to no avail. In the end, it was Cyric who gave the answer, "The head of a small arcane sect, who is unable to recognize himself and is arrogant."
famous.
Their descendants are schizophrenic and often like to find their own ancestors at random. At most, they found sixteen in one go. Others think they are a joke. Elves look down on such people at all. You don't know how normal it is."
Cyric said this, and Zhou Qingfeng didn't care. He classified this 'Kemal' as a low-level wizard, and turned to Rom and said: "This matching table is really wrong. Change it."
If you change it, the effect will be better.”
Rome said unhappily: "Sir Hugo, I respect you very much. But I am the alchemist."
"What if I can do better than you?"
"I'll just swallow the ingredient list."
"Okay, it's a deal. I hope your appetite is good enough." Zhou Qingfeng smiled and summoned the succubus, the plane channel opened, and the breath of the abyss poured out, "Medaisi, the alchemy equipment I stored with you is still there.
Are you there? Teleport here for me."
The beautiful succubus waved her hand, and a complete and high-end alchemy experimental bench slowly appeared. Rom was still angry and annoyed at first, but when he saw Medeis, whose body was only covered by black hair, he was immediately charmed and could only drool.
