Cold Wind City military camp, where the city's main guard is stationed.
More than four hundred knights are the backbone and cornerstone of Cold Wind City, and the families and autonomous territories they belong to constitute the entire ruling system. Compared with the mysterious wizard group, the common people have more contact with the knight masters.
On the training ground of the military camp, Zhou Qingfeng was wearing leather armor and holding a wooden sword to fight with a middle-aged knight. Both parties were moving very fast, running back and forth. Both attacks and defenses were extremely decisive, and the blocking and slashing between the sword blades were very fast.
Done in the blink of an eye.
Chopping, vertical slashing, blocking, the blade whirred.
In just a few breaths, Zhou Qingfeng's wooden sword stabbed his opponent's chest, and his own waist and hip were also swept across. The offensive and defensive duel was completed.
The middle-aged knight took off his helmet, looked down at the white spots on the leather armor, and snorted in displeasure. Zhou Qingfeng rubbed his waist where he had been hit by the wooden sword. The flesh under the leather armor was numb. Don't
You can tell by looking at it that there must be blood bruising inside.
‘Treat minor injuries’.
Zhou Qingfeng used magic on himself to resolve the injury. At the moment of healing, half of his body was shaking in pain, and his internal organs were probably damaged. For an ordinary person, this blow would have crippled him.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng putting his hand on his waist and twisting around like nothing happened, the middle-aged knight became even more angry. He turned around and left the training ground without any grace.
After the middle-aged knight left completely, Jason dared to approach Zhou Qingfeng and whispered: "You have offended the second deputy city lord of Cold Wind City and Lord Exon, who controls the city lord's guard."
"This guy asked for it. He wants my life, how can I be polite to him?" Zhou Qingfeng also cursed bitterly, "But his existence also proves one thing. There are also many conflicts within the City Lord's Guard, and the Long-Legged Family
I really can’t control the situation.”
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head, and several knights laughed and applauded on the other side of the training ground. He took off his helmet and walked over, deliberately saying with a grimace: "What can we do? That Lord Exxon hates me to death.
Me."
The city's main guard is controlled by people from the Long Legs family, but the members of the guard come from hundreds of different families in the city. Several of the people who applauded Zhou Qingfeng were from the Arad and Minos families, and the leader of them was the patriarch of the Arad family.
After taking care of the wizard group, it was natural to continue to win over the powerful people in the city. With the help of Jason and the businessmen, Zhou Qingfeng could also chat and laugh with the knights of the city's main guard.
Let's do business first, talk about women, and then practice our skills, and the friendship will develop. This is much simpler than dating the people in the wizarding guild.
Half of the knights in the city's main guard belong to the Long Legs family, and the other half belong to other big and small dignitaries. Zhou Qingfeng has been poaching for the past few days and defeated four or five knights in a row. Regardless of whether he fights on foot or on horseback, he has the upper hand.
.
Since the losers were all members of the Long Legs family, Lord Exxon, who controlled the guards, was disgraced and went to fight Zhou Qingfeng himself. As a result, the seventh-level knight and the fourth-level 'tyrant' were fighting each other in terms of combat skills.
Tie.
The other knight masters who were watching all cheered loudly, and Old Arad even stepped forward to hold Zhou Qingfeng's hand, his eyebrows and beard flying with laughter, "Boy Hugo, you are really amazing.
When I was your age, I was still hiding in the backyard of a lady’s house, soaking in the rain and praying that the men in her family would die quickly. But you are already like me ten years ago, standing in the fighting ring with a big smile and waiting for the beautiful lady.
I took the initiative to throw my handkerchief at you."
Several knight masters told dirty jokes and dragged Zhou Qingfeng into the living room of the military camp. Jason passed by him and reminded him in a low voice, "These are all old foxes. They have been waiting for someone to come forward to find them."
Trouble with the long-legged family."
Zhou Qingfeng was also laughing loudly, asking a few "old foxes" wildly if they had any young and beautiful granddaughters they could introduce. In response to Jason's reminder, he nodded in understanding.
The servants served drinks and fruits, and a bunch of big bosses stepped on the table, bragging and laughing at each other. People who don't know better will definitely be stunned by them, and will think that they are meeting a party of demigods.
.
However, the knights of Cold Wind City are obviously a bit vulgar and have limited imagination. They brag about killing a few dragons and evil gods, but they cannot tell them the specific dragons and gods, or they say it differently every time.
Zhou Qingfeng has had serious battles with dragons and gods. He laughed and said a few words casually, which would make people think - Ouch, this young man brags so well. A group of us can't brag.
he.
"I really want to fight against the evil god. I think you all need better equipment. Especially since there is an abyss sacrifice in the city, this is even more necessary." Zhou Qingfeng changed the topic and talked about the direction he wanted.
When it comes to business, these "old foxes" stop smiling.
"Everyone, let's be honest." Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to beat around the bush with a bunch of bosses, "I'm just a businessman with plans to establish a foothold in Cold Wind City. But there are actually weird and terrifying evil insect believers in the city. How can you tolerate it?"
?
I originally had the intention of joining the Long-Legs Family. But when I found out that the Long-Legs Family actually appointed an evil inhuman being to serve as the Inspector General, I became extremely wary of this city."
Zhou Qingfeng had a worried and pitiful expression on his face. None of the ‘old foxes’ here spoke. How could they not know the abysmal background of the Inspector General? It was nothing more than a compromise between interests and power.
This topic was suddenly exposed, and the ‘old foxes’ felt they couldn’t keep it off their faces.
Zhou Qingfeng changed the subject again, "I talked with several chiefs of the wizard group, but they didn't believe that the inspector general was an evil existence, so they decided to investigate this and arrest a suspected 'evil insect priest'.
"
These words immediately alerted several old foxes in the military camp. They stared at Zhou Qingfeng and waited for the next step. But Zhou Qingfeng did not say any more. Instead, he glanced at them with a smile.
The scene was silent for several seconds, and neither side seemed to want to reveal too many trump cards. The 'old foxes' wanted to calm down, but Zhou Qingfeng stood up and patted his butt to leave. When he was about to leave the reception room of the military camp, Old Arad finally spoke.
"Sir Hugo, please stay."
Zhou Qingfeng turned around, smiled and waited for the next chapter...
"What do you mean by what you just said?"
"I am actually a messenger. I want to ask you if you are willing to join forces with the wizard group. Killing an evil insect priest is a sign of mutual sincerity. If today's topic is leaked, then naturally it will be treated as if nothing happened."
"What if we agree?"
"The evil insect priest is only level five and controls Crow Street in the dock area. He is alone and is very easy to deal with. In addition, there is also an evil insect believer's den in the craftsman area, which is a blacksmith shop. There are more people, but
It can be done, too.”
"What if we don't agree?"
"Then even if my plan fails, my chamber of commerce and I will withdraw from Cold Wind City. If you continue to accept the rule of the Longlegs family, the Wizarding Group will lose a lot of convenience, and you will not be able to make money from me.
"
After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned and left the military camp. Not long after, Jason came back to send a message - Victor Hugo said that if you don't join forces with him to kill the Long-Legs Family, he will join forces with the Long-Legs Family to kill you.
By the way, the Wizarding Group has decided to join forces with Victor Hugo because he can bring higher benefits.
