There are more than 30,000 people in the city, and more than half of the population is crowded in this area, which is less than one-fifth of the urban area. Looking around from horseback, you can see low houses, narrow streets, and dark streets.
Corners, dodging faces.
The people living here are low-income civilians, most of whom make a living by working for the powerful. Thieves who need to hide their identities also like this place. The Sheriff of Banshee Castle rarely comes to inspect, and the residents there rely on themselves for everything.
Zhou Qingfeng was 'invited' out of his home by Roma. He didn't want to stay in a hotel, so he simply looked for accommodation in the Craftsman District. The clown Adrian was very familiar with this kind of place where dragons and snakes were mixed, and he easily selected a hotel for him.
An eye-catching house.
"This house looks dilapidated, but it is quite spacious inside. After cleaning up, three rooms can be cleared. The horses and mules can be kept in the woodshed without affecting life. The only flaw is that there is no independent well, so you need to buy water on the street.
.”
Adrian hired someone to clean the house in advance, and Zhou Qingfeng only needed to bring the horse to stay. This was supposed to be his safe house in the Banshee Castle, where he could quickly escape when he encountered trouble, but now it is open to the public.
.
The fence is low, and a few houses next door can see the new master and servant Zhou Qingfeng. However, most of the people who live here are honest, and when they see a visitor with a horse, they know that they cannot afford to offend him.
Seth was also used to living at the bottom. He inspected the inside and outside of the house, then walked around the surrounding streets, and hired two servants, a man and a woman, who were enough to take care of Zhou Qingfeng's daily life.
Zhou Qingfeng gave Roma a set of alchemy equipment and reached a cooperation agreement, and then ordered Adrian to wander around the market and pay attention to all aspects of information. He decided to live in Banshee Castle for half a month to experience the life here in depth.
Kelly also arrived at the Banshee Castle, but she didn't know what the halfling was doing and refused to show up. When I asked her through the information network, she only said that Ynessa had told her that she was not allowed to live with Victor, lest someone with taboos get into trouble.
A man attacked in the middle of the night.
"Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Qingfeng was so angry at this reason, but there was nothing he could do about Kelly. After he moved in, he set up a small experimental bench in his house to continue the feasibility of his 'cheap advanced light source'
Research.
Uncle Zhou finally recognized the reality and decided to start with the most basic alchemical methods. He bought high-temperature-resistant pottery to hold the lava rocks from the abyss, and worked on it himself. Facing the high-temperature and hot lava rocks, Uncle Zhou
will dissipate immediately.
The lava stone is like a red-hot iron block. The heat is too high. If you simply hang it out as a light source, the temperature in the room will rise quickly. But this dissipates heat too quickly. A fist-sized lava stone cannot last for two or three hours.
It will become ice cold.
"Sofia, are there any arcane runes that can slow down the energy release of lava rocks?" Zhou Qingfeng asked his assistant.
"This requires retrieving the information in the 'Gate of True Knowledge'." Sofia replied: "Brother, you can speed up my retrieval by directly entering the big library. All plans can be simulated in the alchemy laboratory."
The five-pointed star necklace projected the 'Door of True Knowledge' into the bedroom, and Zhou Qingfeng walked into the large library inside. The longer he used this strange object, the more skillful he became in controlling it.
With the spread of spiritual power, more than a dozen alchemy monographs flew out of the bookshelf and floated in the air, automatically opened and read. Without Zhou Qingfeng's direct visual inspection, Sophia was able to quickly retrieve the information in the books through the information network.
After flipping through one book, she switched to another. Within a few hours, Sophia flipped through hundreds of advanced alchemy secrets that outsiders could never find. This is a bit like writing a paper before doing research. Whenever something is discovered, it will be selected for further research.
projection.
Based on a large amount of practical research in the past, Sophia selected hundreds of solutions to limit the light and heat dissipation of lava rocks. Zhou Qingfeng took these solutions to the alchemy laboratory next door for simulation.
Some plans are successful, but not efficient. Some plans fail, and they are directly rejected. Others are effective, but require high materials and are too expensive to promote. After a night of tossing, Zhou Qingfeng did not choose the right one.
plan comes.
After walking out of the 'Gate of True Knowledge' in a daze, Zhou Qingfeng felt that his brain power was too much consumed. The huge amount of knowledge came easily, but all the simulations were actually carried out with the help of his brain. This seemed easy, but in fact it was a headache.
"A scumbag like me is really not suitable for scientific research." Zhou Qingfeng felt very frustrated. He put away the magical objects and wanted to go to bed. But as soon as his head was glued to the pillow, Sophia reminded: "The one named Rom
Frantically shouting 'Holy Light'."
"It's nothing serious, so don't let him bother me. I want to take a nap." Zhou Qingfeng said lazily.
"Then I block his call." Sophia replied. Her existence is also based on Zhou Qingfeng's mental state. Zhou Qingfeng is tired, and she is tired too.
Not half an hour after blocking the call, there was a knock on the door of Zhou Qingfeng's room. Fat Rom's shouting and Seth's dissatisfaction and scolding were mixed with each other. He had just fallen asleep and had to get up, bleary-eyed.
open the door.
"What happened?" Zhou Qingfeng asked with red eyes.
Rom's hands and feet were dancing excitedly outside the door, grinning and saying: "I succeeded, I succeeded."
"What worked?"
"Stamina potion. Mr. Hugo, you are amazing." Rom pushed Zhou Qingfeng into the room, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "The method you got from the succubus is completely correct. I will experiment it once.
success."
A bottle of red potion was taken out from Roma's pocket and dangled in front of Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, "Look, look. This is what I refined. A bottle of this high-quality physical potion can be sold for one gold coin."
Ah, absolutely popular.
Mr. Hugo, thank you so much, thank you so much. The knowledge you taught me has come in handy. I will definitely be able to join the wizard group of Banshee Castle this time, and they will never refuse me. Little Phil
Your Excellency will also appreciate me."
There is no harm without comparison!
Look at how people can solve difficult problems in one night, and the refined medicine can be bought at a high price. Uncle Zhou can't even fix a "lamp", which is really bad - it seriously dampens his enthusiasm for scientific research.
"Rom, you understood the alchemy information I gave you in one night?"
"It's very simple. It's only about a dozen pages. It's quite easy to understand. I was greatly inspired after reading it. The knowledge from the devil is really extraordinary. It's so well written. It's better than those tomes with thousands of pages.
Be good.
Real knowledge is worth thousands of dollars, but it turns out to be so simple. I am so excited that I can't sleep at all. I must come to express my gratitude to you."
Rom praised Zhou Qingfeng's generosity very seriously. But when Uncle Zhou heard this, he felt - why every time Mao talks about study, I feel like these people are calling me stupid, openly or secretly?
Being a top student or something is really annoying!
