Fabro's manor has only dozens of chaotically built houses. Except for the main house, which is extravagant, gorgeous, spacious and beautiful, the other buildings are low, dilapidated and worthless.
Zhou Qingfeng established the "Fu Qiang Ling" and planned a chessboard road with four horizontal and four vertical directions. He basically demolished and rebuilt all other houses except the main house.
Dig ditches, bury canals, build water supply and drainage systems, and then build houses according to road plans.
Although it has only been three months and most of the buildings are still in the state of sketch, the manor town that accommodates 3,000 people has begun to take shape.
Zhou Qingfeng dismounted and entered the main house.
Seeing the 'hand-off shopkeeper' return, Hilly, who was in charge of daily work, signed a parchment in her hand, raised her head and said, "Victor, there is bad news."
Under the illumination of the magic chandelier, Fabro's study room became Hilly's office. In addition to studying every day, the apprentices recruited from Cold Wind City worked here as political assistants.
When Zhou Qingfeng came in, naturally someone took off the lord's cloak, handed him hot water, and prepared the sofa. After he sat down, he asked: "Is there chaos in Hanfeng City again?"
"There is no common enemy. If the dignitaries in the city are not in chaos today, they will be in chaos sooner or later. But that's not what I want to say."
Xili handed reports from different channels to Zhou Qingfeng. The latter glanced at them and found that they were probably some business information, focusing on another big city south of Hanfeng City.
Banshee Castle.
Coming out of Coldwind City, there are more than a dozen cities in the Northland. There is no unified kingdom here, and each city competes with each other in autonomy.
Without Cold Wind City, the Longlegs family is like a lonely ghost. The family has become alienated.
The biggest problem for Phils Longlegs was not how to fight back, but how to stabilize the disintegrated family power. He had to surrender his status and surrender to the Banshee Castle in the south.
Hilly said: "The Long Legs family has lost half of its territory and its strength has been severely damaged. In order to preserve the family, Phils Long Legs must bring in strong reinforcements.
The Butch family of Banshee Castle has always wanted to expand northward, and this time they finally got their wish.
The Longlegs family ceded part of their territory and became vassals, and also gave the territory occupied by the Coldwind City rebels to the Butchi family, including our 'Rich and Strong Territory'.
Now there is not even a leader selected in the Cold Wind City. Once the Longlegs get help, they only need a counterattack to send Arad and other Cold Wind rebels running around."
This is really a worse world than a bad one, and those who work hard are rarer than the gold sand in the river.
"Another fight." Zhou Qingfeng put down the report, "How much time do we have?"
"Maybe half a year." Hilly was not sure, "It depends on how much assistance the Long-Legs family can get from the Banshee Castle? But the Butch family is not stupid and will not be so happy.
I'm worried that Phils Long Legs will send a wave of adventurers to harass us first. For example, in the past two days, there has been news that multiple gangs have emerged in the south to threaten the trade routes."
"The cost is low and the benefits are high. I would do the same thing if it were me." Zhou Qingfeng said calmly, "Leave this matter to Adrian and Todd. We need to do business with swords."
Seeing that Zhou Qingfeng was about to leave again, Xili took advantage of him to get up and added, "There is a rumor that Inisha's road to recovery is not smooth. She is now living in the Banshee Castle."
Inisha...
Zhou Qingfeng's mind flashed to the beautiful appearance of the princess when he first met her. The two of them had only been separated for a few months, but the situation changed so quickly.
Leave the study office.
In the underground secret room of the manor's main house, the alchemy workshop spreads out to a space of 150 square meters.
The spirit slaves were busy preparing daily potions, and the goblins were playing hide-and-seek with the meow. Arcee and Irene were busy building workshops and farmland outside the manor.
Sophia sat at a table, with more than a dozen heavy books flying around her.
Zhou Qingfeng provoked many people and forces in Tianyang. Generally speaking, opponents have traces to follow, and it is not difficult to investigate. However, reporters from the imperial capital seemed to come and go without a trace.
Many major events in the 1990s were exposed by reporters in the imperial capital. They had aloof status and profound backgrounds.
Once something gets bigger, the local authorities will not be able to cover it up.
After Oriole gave the warning, Zhou Qingfeng knew that he had to find this reporter as soon as possible. But it was a waste of time to search slowly, so his first thought was to use arcane magic to solve it.
In the past, the pursuit of 'ancient fragments' in Cold Wind City relied on the arcane prophecy of Chief Old Bank. But now the Longlegs want to kill Zhou Qingfeng, and this road is cut off.
The remaining methods are either to find a succubus or to exchange and learn from the 'Gate of True Knowledge'. But both methods will cost some coupons.
But in the real world, the task of "processing 50,000 tons of domestic waste per month" has not yet been completed. Zhou Qingfeng's current coupons are less than 10,000, and he is extremely poor.
What's even more troublesome is that arcane spells above level two cannot be cast in the real world.
"Have you found any solution?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.
Sophia smiled, casually drew a few simple words in the air, and asked: "Master, do you know what these words are?"
The words drawn looked like square characters or some kind of symbols, but Zhou Qingfeng didn't recognize them.
Sophia drew two more sets at random, and the glyphs were very different. Zhou Qingfeng still didn't recognize them.
"The first one is the ancient evil inscriptions obtained from the abyss priests, followed by the Imaskan inscriptions and the oracle bone inscriptions obtained from the master's world.
What's amazing is that there is some connection between these three scripts. Irmaska script seems to be a compound of evil script and oracle script. Note that this is a magical script similar to Netheril script."
Oracle?
Zhou Qingfeng was a little confused.
Sophia turned to say seriously: "Master, the multiverse connects many planes. I am now very sure that the Imaskan civilization that died in Faerûn thousands of years ago has the same origin as you.
Because of the demise of civilization, no one now knows the Imaska dead writing. Even if they master the "language".
But there are many ancient ruins throughout Faerûn. Previously, the Abyss Priests collected ancient fragments in the North, which contained many Imaskar dead writings.
The Abyss Priest has done a lot of sorting work. I accidentally discovered that this kind of dead writing has the same origin as the oracle bone inscriptions in the host world. They can be translated into each other.
I even went further to infer that the Imaskars at that time mastered part of the ancient evil script to improve their own writing and turn it into a magical tool.
Master, I want to show you a trick."
Sophia called Eve Lorraine.
This girl is not very qualified among the many apprentices. But because Zhou Qingfeng personally recruited her, she has always received preferential treatment.
Lorraine worked very hard on weekdays and studied very complex subjects. She was always timid when facing Zhou Qingfeng. She held a ruby in her hand, chanted in a low voice according to Sophia's instructions, and drew eight characters with her bare hands.
The magic network then trembled slightly, and the ruby shattered.
A black swallow appeared out of thin air, with a crisp chirp, spreading its wings and flying towards Zhou Qingfeng. The moment they collided, he immediately understood the meaning of those eight words.
'The mysterious bird of destiny descended and gave birth to Shang.'
