With a startled voice, Rom suddenly turned around. When he saw Zhou Qingfeng walking out of the shadows in the corner of the laboratory, his heart thumped in his throat. His eyes wandered in panic, and he put on an ugly smile, not knowing what to say.
.
"I advise you to put your hands where I can see them, and don't hold the spell behind my back and prepare to cast a spell. The distance between you and me is less than five meters, and no matter how fast you are, you can't be faster than my sword light." Zhou Qingfeng was generous.
stood up and shouted coldly.
Rohm put his hands behind his back in panic, but was broken by Zhou Qingfeng in one gulp. He even realized that the hidden servants who had obeyed the order were surrounding him from behind, all holding light and sharp weapons, ready to give him a fatal blow at any time.
Seeing that he had no chance of winning, Roma quickly raised his hands and shouted: "Sir Hugo, please listen to my explanation."
"Explain what? Did I blame you?" Zhou Qingfeng looked sarcastic, "It's only been two days and you have moved to another place. Could it be that something happened in the past two days that was detrimental to my interests and you need to get my rights?"
Can you forgive me?"
Uh..., Rom was speechless for a moment, and after a while he relaxed and said: "I admit that I really shouldn't have moved without notifying you. This house was lent to me by the wizard Jason, too.
It makes it easier for me to work without being disturbed.”
Zhou Qingfeng stood sideways in front of the workbench with simple lamps and sneered at this nonsense.
When Roman saw that the other party had discovered what he was secretly researching, he said without blushing: "I borrowed your idea and wanted to try it. Unfortunately, it was not very successful. You shouldn't mind."
"What did Fabbro teach you? Are you trying to take advantage?" Zhou Qingfeng asked: "I originally thought there was something wrong with your teacher, but now it seems that your department has some problems. It doesn't deserve too much trust from me.
."
"I..." Rom wanted to continue explaining. But Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand to stop him, "Stop making up stories. I prefer to believe what I see and hear with my own eyes and ears.
But it might be easier for everyone to get along more calmly. I came here today to ask you to do something for me."
"Just tell me." Rom said hurriedly.
"I have recruited a group of people, more than twenty of them, to be apprentices under your name."
"More than twenty? I can't use that many apprentices."
"It's just a name. You don't need to pay for it. Lend me your original residence to accommodate them. It will be said to the outside world that you are training experimental assistants."
There are more than 30,000 people in the Banshee Castle, and the excitement of the market tavern has spread throughout the city. Rom heard about it when he was in the laboratory. He knew what this was going to do when he heard it - it was nothing more than to recruit some down-and-out people.
He's just a guy, this is easy to handle.
Hearing that Zhou Qingfeng still wanted something from him, Rom finally breathed a sigh of relief. He is an alchemist, not a practical person. His specialty is getting rich and clinging to life. He is really afraid of someone like Victor Hugo who kills people at every turn.
The bloodthirsty murderer.
"No problem, no problem, I can come forward if you need me." Rom relaxed and laughed, "As for the Phils family, I won't say anything more. Your Excellency Hugo can definitely rest assured."
"I'm not at ease with you." Zhou Qingfeng cursed in his heart. It's not like he's never seen a 'wall grass' before, so he had no feeling for Rohm's guarantee, so he made a second request, "I want to buy Banshee through you."
Supplies on the market in Fort."
"What supplies?"
"Food, cloth, ironware, magic materials. I will make a list, and you can just buy it."
What Zhou Qingfeng was talking about were all war preparation materials. Buying them from Banshee Castle was several times more expensive than buying them from Succubus, which was very uneconomical. But there was going to be a war soon, so things couldn't be calculated economically.
The entire other world is in a state of long-term shortage of supplies. If the enemy eats less, we can eat more. If he wants to defeat the Phils family that dominates the North, Zhou Qingfeng will definitely not be able to compete with force, so he can only compete with financial resources.
If you don’t spend money at this time, why don’t you keep the money and wait to escape?
When Rom heard that all Zhou Qingfeng wanted was some scarce supplies, he quickly shook his head. But before he could refuse, Uncle Zhou said again: "I allow you to resell it to me at a 50% premium."
What..., fifty percent premium? Rich man, are you really that rich?
Rom shook his head twice and stopped. He asked uncertainly: "More than half the premium? Mr. Hugo, are you sure you can accept this price?"
If a war breaks out, the price of war preparation materials will increase several times. What's a 50% premium? While we are still preparing for war, hurry up and stock up on more.
Zhou Qingfeng nodded happily, "You shouldn't be able to buy much combat supplies, but you can ask others for help. For example, the Jason wizard who just left, and other capable people. Let them earn some, and you can
Make more.”
Needless to say, Rom's head from a merchant family has come up with more ideas. Materials are currently in short supply, but if the price can be increased by 50%, the number of merchants who will transport goods to Banshee Castle will naturally increase.
As long as Zhou Qingfeng has enough financial resources...
Rome naturally asked: "Sir Hugo, if you can pay the deposit in advance..."
Zhou Qingfeng took off a bag from his waist and threw it to Rom, "The gems inside are worth at least two thousand gold coins when shipped to the south. This is the deposit."
Rom opened his pocket and reached out and took out three or five polished diamonds. Judging from their size and purity, they were definitely popular with wizards. They were rare arcane materials. He thought of the elf ruins controlled by Zhou Qingfeng and felt
Excited......
"Sir Hugo, you are really rich. No one in the entire North is as rich as you. No wonder the Phils family wants to pay attention to you. If there was no war in the North, there would definitely be a large number of forces rushing into the Black Forest."
Of course Zhou Qingfeng knows that the more famous he is, the more dangerous he is, otherwise why would he come to Banshee City? Isn't it just to prepare for a rainy day and survive in death?
Facing the indifferent gaze of 'Victor Hugo', Rom looked at the small bag of gems in his hand, and said with a wry smile and a sigh: "I'll try my best, there should be someone willing to make this deal.
"
"I hope so." Zhou Qingfeng said: "You should run around more, the stamina potion is just a stepping stone for you, make more friends. I can help you look after the laboratory, and the hidden servant can actually work by himself."
Several hidden servants spread out to surround them, put down the sharp tools at hand, and returned to the experimental table one by one to continue working. They were directly controlled by Sophia, and their work efficiency was even higher.
Rom knew that he had been fooled from beginning to end - no wonder 'Victor Hugo' could easily find him, and his hidden servant did not escape control at all. This made him even more frustrated.
Now the only option is to jump onto Zhou Qingfeng's pirate ship. Rom nodded, reached out and took out two rows of stamina potions from the table, and said: "I'm going to visit a few people from the wizard group right now, and I promise not to delay you.
matter."
Zhou Qingfeng stopped embarrassing the other party, left a shopping list, and left Rom's private residence. The alchemist looked at his leaving figure and sighed: "Trouble is coming, and you can't even hide from it.
