It has been several days since the evil god was defeated, and peace has returned to the black forest.
Zhou Qingfeng sat on the wall of Harmony Village, looking up at the sky, quietly in a daze. The manganese steel epee was at hand, a solid support for him. This sword underwent a qualitative change after defeating Cyric and became an enchanted sword.
arms.
The sharpness is strengthened, it can restrain evil, and it has a 20% chance of being forced to repel it. Because it participated in a battle to restrain the evil god, this sword even has an exclusive name in Zhou Qingfeng's mind - 'Breaking Evil'.
"Sir Hugo." Jason from Cold Wind City climbed up on the wall, "Are you looking for me?"
During the chaos in the Black Forest, the wizard apprentice had always been uninterested in the affairs of the 'Allied Forces'. It was not until Zhou Qingfeng finally used his power to squeeze the potential of all settlements that he was forced to get closer.
During the battle against the evil god, as long as the key players held fast to their will under the divine power, they all achieved considerable advancement after the war. After receiving substantial benefits, Sir Jason gained a deeper sense of identification with Zhou Qingfeng.
"Please sit down." Zhou Qingfeng didn't waste any words. He pointed to several large and small packages at his feet, "Let's see how much this thing is worth?"
In the package were bits and pieces that Zhou Qingfeng got from the Elf Prison. He rode back to Harmony Village on his 'Swift Shadow' and brought all these things back. Before he was busy with the war, these items were thrown into the warehouse. Now he has them on hand
Short of money...
It will cost a lot of gold coins to manage more than a thousand people and build a large village.
Large and small bags were spread out randomly, and Zhou Qingfeng picked up a strange monster skull and threw it to Jason. Some of these things were given to the dwarf witch doctor Old Borg to prepare potions. No one wanted the rest, so he had to find a way to sell them.
.
The wizard apprentice was a little strange when he saw the package, but his expression changed drastically after receiving the skull. "What kind of skull is this? It seems to be a natural casting material for undead arcane spells. The magic network has a very high affinity."
"Just tell me how much this thing is worth?" Zhou Qingfeng stepped on a package and asked with a straight face.
Jason clutched the skull tightly and quickly rushed to Zhou Qingfeng's side. He stared at the wrapped skin at his feet and asked in surprise: "What is this?"
"Uh..., it seems to be a carpet. It was obtained from the remains of elves. I thought it was quite strong, so I cut it off and used it as a package." Zhou Qingfeng answered casually.
There were several pieces of wrapped skin spread out, large and small, and the one under Zhou Qingfeng's feet was the largest.
Jason screamed strangely, "You..., you..., you actually cut up the elf's handmade carpet and used it as a package? This thing has a price but no market."
And this skull is definitely of extraordinary origin and is not an ordinary monster skull. Your Excellency, please tell me where this skull came from? Tell me quickly, tell me quickly..."
The wizard apprentice grabbed a skull and shook it vigorously in front of Zhou Qingfeng, who was so stunned that he almost went crazy.
Uncle Zhou curled his lips and said, "Isn't it just the skull of a hunting spider? I picked it up casually in the elf ruins. Please give me an estimate of the price. I want to sell it. Don't tell me it's worthless."
"Hunting spider, isn't this thing extinct?" When Jason heard the name, his tone rose several octaves. When Zhou Qingfeng said he wanted to sell it, he immediately stuffed the skull of the hunting spider into his arms, "
I bought this thing, you decide the price."
Zhou Qingfeng is overjoyed...
This attitude is like a fat sheep!
Jason clutched the hunting spider's skull tightly in his hand, excited.
As a mysterious existence, the wizard's strength is based on great consumption. Its method of survival and advancement is completely different from other adventurer professions.
Ordinary warriors can improve themselves as long as they eat and drink enough, exercise diligently, and fight constantly. When they go out on adventures, they only need to be well-dressed and sharp, and there will be no special requirements.
A priest is simpler than a warrior, just praying sincerely is enough.
As for the rest...
Druids require closeness to nature, rangers require wild survival, and thieves require cleverness and dexterity. The requirements are not high.
But wizards are different. The various casting materials alone mean a lot of money, not to mention the need for many magic items. In addition, learning arcane knowledge is also very expensive. Many things are only known by name, but do not know where to buy them.
Go find it.
The Black Forest has a harsh environment, but there are still human settlements, because the unique products here are not found in other places. Many specialties are favored by wizards. And Zhou Qingfeng has a big bag, and just taking out a skull is amazing.
envious.
This is the skull of a hunting spider, which is half-demon.
More than fifty years ago, the demon broke the space barrier, forced his way to the main material world, and became rampant for a while. The human wizards at that time discovered that due to the differences in plane laws, the demon's entire body was filled with treasures.
The cruel war caused heavy losses, but many strong men were born in the fierce fighting. A large number of high-level wizards emerged among them, and they all benefited from the violent ideological impact brought by the demon.
New knowledge, new materials, new techniques.
Some people were slaughtered by demons, some were seduced by demons, and some died in experiments. But there are always some lucky people who have gained some experience in using demons and become very powerful.
War can always greatly promote technological progress.
But after the tragic war, the wizards suddenly discovered that the source of information about demons had ceased.
More than fifty years later, Jason could only appreciate the madness of wizards to obtain demonic materials from his teacher's stories. Now let alone a half-demon skull, even a little bone residue is enough to surprise.
"The skull of the hunting spider can be used to increase the speed of spell casting, which can improve the magic of enchantment and necromancy." Jason got goosebumps with excitement. Looking at the big package under Zhou Qingfeng's butt, he felt so happy.
Passed out.
The wizard apprentice had to pinch himself a few times to clear his mind. He then used the 'appraisal technique' on the skull in his hand to confirm its value, and the result was doubly happy.
The wizard apprentice approached Zhou Qingfeng and whispered: "Sir Hugo, I am very interested in your goods. However, my financial resources are limited, so I am afraid that I will not be able to buy them all. Maybe I can introduce my teacher to you."
Zhou Qingfeng smiled and nodded, but then shook his head, "I believe your teacher must have stronger financial resources and connections, and can bring me more benefits. But I actually like to associate with people of equal strength. Your teacher will
Wouldn’t it be too strong?”
Jason's eyes lit up, and he was even more delighted. He knew what Zhou Qingfeng meant, and he was obviously wary of too powerful trading partners. This is normal - the word 'faithfulness' is extremely precious these days, just because it is too scarce.
.
"My teacher is a seventh-level alchemist. He is naturally much more powerful than me. As for his reputation, it is widely circulated throughout Cold Wind City." Jason only said 'widely circulated' but
Not saying it's good or bad, the meaning is obvious.
Zhou Qingfeng also nodded. He pointed at the package at his feet and said, "Let's estimate the price first. I can accept all kinds of transactions. Gold coins, food, slaves, land, real estate, magic items, and friendships worth cherishing."
Jason laughed loudly and took the initiative to reach out and shake Zhou Qingfeng's hand, "I will definitely give you a fair price and I will never let you suffer a loss."
Jason paid one hundred and fifty gold coins for the hunting spider's skull alone. This amount of money was enough to buy a village in the Black Forest.
What Zhou Qingfeng mainly obtained in the Elf Prison were the skeletons of several semi-demon creatures. After appraisal, these items were valued at more than two thousand gold coins. This amount of money was also a huge sum for a wizard apprentice, and he could not get it out at once.
After completing the appraisal of the bones, Jason's hands were shaking. He has been learning arcana for more than ten years with the support of his family, and has seen many valuable things. But now he dares to bet that his family will also join in.
There are not enough gold coins to buy these bones.
In addition to the skeletons, Zhou Qingfeng also obtained many works of art from the Elf Prison, mainly statues, paintings, and decorations. Even several chandeliers in the prison were removed and transported out in every possible way.
The things used by the elves were extremely exquisite and unique, and could be sold at high prices in the human market. But Jason had already sharpened his eyesight due to those skeletons, and the dazzling elf artwork was only valued at a "low price" of eight hundred gold coins.
"A total of three thousand five hundred gold coins. This is just what you got from one trip. According to legend, there is an entire elf city in the Black Forest waiting for us to discover. God, we are really going to make a fortune this time.
"
After the wizard apprentice completed the valuation, he sighed happily, his head felt dizzy and went blank.
