"Master, we have arrived at Cold Wind City." Rubio wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. The towering city gate more than 20 meters high in front occupied his entire field of vision, and he had to look up. "This city is really big.
of."
Huge buildings naturally have a strong visual impact, and they can also exert spiritual pressure on the bottom and demonstrate the legitimacy of the ruling class. From ancient times to the present, human beings like to carry out large projects.
When Zhou Qingfeng came out of the broken village in the black forest, he saw a huge city under the clear sky, and he felt sincere awe from the bottom of his heart. Not to mention the poor people who have never seen the world, they will only subconsciously feel that they will never
lowly.
After the suspension bridge was lowered, the spear-wielding soldiers collected the poll tax one by one and grabbed some things from the baskets of farmers entering the city. The farmers lined up in scattered lines and begged the tax official at the city gate to charge less. They were very honest.
Across the moat, there are a series of shacks built randomly outside the city. Poor people are running back and forth in the dirty environment. Many children like monkeys look pitifully at the flow of people entering the city, especially the rich masters.
Rubio was so tired that he was sweating profusely while waving his wooden stick. He had to be careful at all times when the bold little brats were approaching. Once begging failed, they would quickly rush over and grab a handful on horseback. Whatever they caught was nothing, and they were not afraid at all.
die.
Supplies were carried on horseback or mules.
If the little beggar really catches something, Zhou Qingfeng will never ruthlessly snatch it back. He will just stare at Rubio in a resigned manner - it is really the steward's duty to protect the master's face.
Zhou Qingfeng had no time to respond to Rubio's lament. He 'just' broke into the Cold Wind City Supervision Office, met a ninth-level abyss priest, and was killed by a dissociation spell, but he gained a lot of information.
The demigod evil insect Kaivos is an ancient species that was expelled to the abyss. It is ordering believers in the material world to collect the relics of the Imaskan civilization. This long-dead civilization has aroused Zhou Qingfeng's strong interest and concern.
The believers of the evil insect actually occupy Hanfeng City, and their leader has become the chief of the city's Supervisory Office, with considerable authority. His strength is even stronger than that of Harmony Village.
Zhou Qingfeng broke in to cause trouble, and the biggest result was to burn down several worthless houses, and then he was surrounded. What killed him was a dissociation spell.
Haha... When it comes to what arcane spells wizards like and hate the most, Dissociation definitely ranks first. This sixth-level arcane spell can be learned before it becomes a legend. How powerful is it...
If the target's body is strong enough, it will only take half the damage; if it is not strong enough, it will turn into fly ash.
What's annoying is this 'turning into flying ash', the 'dissociation' spell destroys all the equipment and magic items carried by the target, and no loot is left behind.
The staff that shoots the dissociation ray was probably given by the evil insect Kaivos himself. In the tough confrontation, the demigod-level blessing was too powerful, and Zhou Qingfeng was immediately finished. When faced with such unreasonable equipment, he could only
Spend 1,600 points to read the file.
But this cannot end like this.
Reading the file back to the moment when he entered Cold Wind City, Zhou Qingfeng did not wander around again after entering. He asked Rubio to buy the goods he had purchased before; he asked Adrian to do the chivalrous and righteous deeds again.
By the way, he also divided the equipment that he didn't need. The range of the sludge monster's tongue spear was too short. After the adamantine shuttle that can be controlled by mental power, this thing was given to Rubio for self-defense. The mist ring was given to those who like to hide and hide.
Adrian.
There is no need to go to 'old friend' Jason's place for the time being. The hand-centrifuge that was originally compensated is still in the alchemy workshop. However, the enhanced version of the physical strength potion with fire-breathing pepper still retains the formula, so it is not a busy schedule.
As for tracking down the Imaskan civilization, it is too difficult to attack the Supervisory Office head-on. You can't always think about going to the enemy's home field, you have to lure the enemy out.
The two heirs of the Long Legs family are fighting openly and secretly, and the situation is complicated. From the perspective of Harmony Village, it is obviously not a good thing to put the cold and tough Phils in power.
Judging from the situation of the 'previous' visit to the city, the forces supporting Marbury actually accounted for the majority, but they were all scattered 'weeds on the wall'. And because Zhou Qingfeng rashly went to kill evil insects for sacrifice, a conflict broke out between the two factions.
Come again this time...
"Find a place to stay first."
Zhou Qingfeng was not very satisfied with the accommodation in the Craftsman District. He remembered that Marbury had come to visit him after his identity was exposed 'last time'. He scratched his chin and said, "Let's find a better place to live this time."
"Where does Fabbro live?" Zhou Qingfeng thought of his old enemy. The last time he was spared at the Elf Ruins, he should have put this relationship to use. He should have a better entry into the civil strife in Cold Wind City.
point.
Adrian replied: "Fabro is the 'Chief Alchemist' of Cold Wind City, and he has a special half-level space in the Wizard's Tower. But unless Mr. Hugo can directly reveal his identity, the only way to see him is
I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”
The master and his servants entered the city and stopped at an intersection to discuss.
A skinny little guy came over timidly and asked Zhou Qingfeng on horseback: "Sir, do you need a servant? I work very quickly, I am very clever, I can also copy, and I only need two a month."
A silver coin."
"Go, go, don't come over." Rubio was waiting for the master's instructions and was very wary of outsiders approaching. He waved his wooden stick to drive them away without saying a few words.
Whenever he thinks about making trouble, Zhou Qingfeng's mind is very bright. He is considering whether to let the black cat Meow Meow go for a trip and drag Fabbro, this "old fritter" into trouble...
"Wait a minute." Looking at the little guy who came to ask for a job, Zhou Qingfeng stopped Rubio. He remembered that the dirty face was Eve Lorraine, a tomboy pretending to be a boy.
"Can you copy?"
The tomboy nodded quickly, "Yes, sir. I am a believer in the God of Suffering. I have read scriptures and can copy very fluently. I can write in lace script."
Rubio reminded Zhou Qingfeng, "Sir, reading scriptures and being able to copy them are two different things. There are little beggars like this everywhere and they always like to talk nonsense. He must be lying to you."
The tomboy waved his hands quickly and said hurriedly: "Master, I never lie to others. I can really copy. I can also run errands and I am very familiar with Hanfeng City."
Zhou Qingfeng pointed to Rubio's 'Liar Corsage' on his collar, and the latter immediately shut up. He had a good impression of Lorraine, so he smiled at the tomboy and said, "Do one thing for me.
I’ll hire you.”
"Master, please give me your instructions." Lorraine was full of hope.
"Go to the Wizard's Tower..."
Lorraine was shocked.
"Looking for a guy named Fabbro. He is the 'chief alchemist' of the wizard group in the city."
Lorraine's heart dropped.
"After meeting Fabro, ask him if his 'mind disruptor' has been improved? It's that simple."
Simple?
Lorraine's face turned pale, and she shook her head in embarrassment, "Master, I dare not go near the Wizard's Tower. The guards will kill me directly."
There was a ding sound, and a bounty coin popped out. Lorraine subconsciously caught it. She looked down for a long time, wiping her eyes constantly, and her mind went blank - what popped out was a gold coin.
This money could cost her her life.
The tomboy gritted his teeth and stared at Zhou Qingfeng for a few seconds. She was a little confused and didn't understand what kind of person would give out a gold coin casually.
"Master, what do you want me to do?"
"Go to the Wizard's Tower to find 'Chief Alchemist' Fabbro."
The same conversation was repeated.
Lorraine hesitated for a while with her heart pounding, and sighed several times. She finally waved behind her, called her younger brothers and sisters, solemnly pushed the gold coins over, and told them to go home quickly and not stay.
The younger brother and sister didn't know why, thinking that their sister had good luck, they took the gold coins and left immediately.
"Master, I am willing to go to the Wizard's Tower." Lorraine pursed her lips with determination, as if she was going to die generously. Adrian said softly with a smile on his face. Rubio looked back and forth.
Look, I thought this kid was a bit interesting.
"Go ahead and wish you good luck." Zhou Qingfeng tilted his head, "If Fabbro wants to see me, ask him to come to the orc tavern in the city. I'll wait for him there. Remember, you must meet Fabbro.
It’s Luo himself.”
The three masters and servants didn't seem to care about the gold coins being thrown out, nor did they stare at the poor Eve Lorraine. They just left.
The tomboy clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and pursed his lips, constantly cheering himself up, "Eve, this is an opportunity. A man who can give you a gold coin will not care about your life, but you must seize it.
Now you are the hope of the whole family. A gold coin is enough to buy your life. So even if you die, you have to deliver the news."
