Tambos clutched the hunting spider's skull tightly in his hands, 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 continuously improve themselves as long as they eat enough, drink enough, and exercise diligently. When they go out on adventures, they only need to be in good health, and they don't have any special requirements.
A priest is simpler than a warrior, just praying sincerely is enough.
As for the rest...
Druids require closeness to nature, barbarians require wild survival, and thieves require intelligence and cleverness. The requirements are not high.
But wizards are different. Various casting materials alone mean a lot of money, not to mention the need for a large number of 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 many human settlements. This is 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 a skull.
Human eyes are hot.
This is the skull of a hunting spider, which is half-demon.
More than fifty years ago, demons broke through the barriers of space and forcibly came to the main material world of the human world, where they became rampant. The human wizards at that time discovered that due to the differences in the laws of planes, the demons were covered in 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 impact brought by the demons.
New knowledge, new materials, new techniques.
Some people were teased 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. In the name of revenge, they hunted down demon descendants everywhere, so that the number of demon descendants decreased significantly, and either their bloodline was cut off, or they hid among humans and did not dare to show their faces.
More than fifty years have passed, and Tambos can only appreciate the madness of wizards to obtain demonic materials from the teacher's narration. Now let alone a half-demon skull, even a little bit of bone residue is enough to surprise.
"The skull of the hunting spider can be used to enhance the speed of spell casting, and has a strengthening effect on enchantment and necromancy arcana." Tambos was very excited. Looking at the big package under Zhou Qingfeng's butt, he was so happy that he fainted.
past.
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. He even wanted to use a 'Charm Human' on Zhou Qingfeng to force it to
Listen to yourself.
But..., Tambos didn't dare.
You cannot underestimate this young man, let alone test him at will.
Schroeder is dead because of disrespect for him. Just now Lukans has died because of being too confident. Originally, the Benn Church and the Magru Tribe controlled the overall situation of the Black Forest, but now they are forced to take it out.
The guise of 'peace agreement'.
The wizard apprentice decided to be more honest. He approached Zhou Qingfeng and whispered: "Sir Hugo, I am very interested in your goods. But my financial resources are limited, so I am afraid I won't be able to buy them all. Maybe I can introduce it to you.
My teacher."
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?”
Tambos'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 because it is too scarce.
Already.
"My teacher is a seventh-level alchemist. He is naturally much more powerful than me. As for his reputation, it is widely circulated throughout the Cold Wind City." Tambos only said 'widely circulated'
, but does not say whether it is good or bad, the meaning is very obvious.
Zhou Qingfeng only nodded. He pointed at the package under his butt 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.
.”
Temple burst into laughter and took the initiative to extend his hand to hold Zhou Qingfeng's hand. "I will definitely give you a fair price and I will never let Mr. Hugo suffer any loss. I also have some trustworthy friends who can also help with sales."
For the hunting spider's skull alone, Tambos gave a price of one hundred and fifty gold coins. 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 an astronomical amount of money for a wizard apprentice. It was impossible to take it.
Not coming out.
After completing the appraisal of the bones, Tambos's hands were shaking. He has relied on the support of his family to learn arcana for more than ten years, and he has seen many valuable things. But now he dares to bet that his family is
I can't get 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 are extremely exquisite and unique, and can be sold for high prices in the human market. However, Tambos has been sharpened by those skeletons, and the dazzling elven artworks are only valued at a 'low price' of eight hundred gold coins.
.
"A total of 3,500 gold coins. This is just what you gained from visiting the elven ruins. And now there is an entire city ruins 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.
Zhou Qingfeng smashed it, shook his head slightly and said: "This is only a very small part of the ruins, just one building. If it is really so valuable, it will be a trouble."
"Trouble?" Tambos looked up at Zhou Qingfeng, his heart tightened for no reason, followed by great fear, "Yes, it is indeed a big, big trouble."
A common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade!
Zhou Qingfeng hated trouble. He thought about whether he should share the interests again, introduce more external investment, and bear risks together. But he quickly gave up this idea.
Just looking at the social atmosphere of the Black Forest, you can tell that there are no decent people in Cold Wind City. The chaos and disorder of this world is like the end of the world.
"What we need to do now is to act quickly. I'm a little worried that the goblins and the people from the Benn Church will call for reinforcements. We must defeat them as soon as possible and control the entire Black Forest situation simply and completely. Otherwise, this place will really get out of control.
"
Zhou Qingfeng stared at Tambos with burning eyes and asked seriously: "You should have a way to leave the Black Forest directly, right?"
Tempos gritted his teeth and decided to reveal his trump card, "I have a scroll of flying skills that can leave the Black Forest from the air and return to Cold Wind City."
"Can you get us some powerful supplies?" Zhou Qingfeng pointed to the skull of the hunting spider in Tambos's arms, "That is considered a deposit. I hope you can keep it secret as much as possible, otherwise you will keep it secret from us.
It’s not good for either side.”
"Yes." The wizard apprentice responded solemnly, "Give me three days, and I can help you get some spell scrolls, at least twenty. In addition, I can also get some magic potions, which can be used by your men.
Strengthened like a wild beast."
"Deal!" Zhou Qingfeng nodded, he finally had the capital to give his enemy a hearty decisive battle.
