Chapter 44: Blood

After Tika and Gurdjieff left.

The Pill Bottle Castle lost two strong combat powers at once.

Zhou Ming's cultivation has only recently broken through to an intermediate magician, and it is not a big problem to deal with ordinary characters, but if he encounters a powerful character, it will be a little tricky.

Of course, Zhou Ming is still relatively confident in his escape skills, and he guarantees that there is no big problem with his safety.

But in the Castle of Medicine Bottles, there are also Henry, four rabbit maids, and two warriors of average martial arts.

These oil bottles, at a critical moment, it is impossible for Zhou Ming to take care of them.

So he made some arrangements.

Henry, who recently successfully perceived the magic element and became a trainee magician, Zhou Ming arranged for him to enter the Brno School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, lived in an apartment in the school, and asked the old fox Roberts to help take care of him, and also said hello to Catherine, the head teacher of class 3, hoping that she would take care of Henry a little (Henry entered class 3).

"No problem, I'll take care of him. ”

Catherine patted Henry's head and gave Zhou Ming a soft look.

"That's a problem for the teacher. ”

Zhou Ming nodded, the reason for Teacher Catherine's popularity is here, she is kind in heart, she is always willing to help some students in difficulty, and does not ask for anything in return.

Zhou Ming had nothing to repay for Teacher Catherine's help, but he could only give her a lot of dozens or hundreds of bottles of the magic potions he had prepared, hoping that she would be promoted to the Great Magician as soon as possible.

As for Henry, the thought of living in this school in the future made him look forward to it and feel a little disappointed.

The expectation is that he can go to school and study with many peers, so that he yearns for it.

The loss is that the school does not have the freedom of the castle, there is no rabbit maid, and the teacher is not always around...... He was a little flustered by the loss of these cares.

Fortunately, Henry's sister Lina lives in an upscale community not far from the school, and Zhou Ming found her and told her about Henry's situation.

"Thank you, sir, I will often go to school to see Henry, and if he is disobedient, I will teach him a lesson!"

Lina in front of her said, at the moment she was wearing a white dress, combing an upper-class lady hairstyle, her calves were half exposed, and on top of her shiny black high heels was a pair of flesh-colored stockings close to her skin...... From top to bottom, it exudes a breathtaking femininity.

Every time Zhou Ming saw him for the first time, he would lose his mind for a very short time.

The outfit on her body was basically after Zhou Ming took out the design drawings, and she took the garners to transform them into real objects in the clothing store with a pair of skillful hands.

There are also the stockings on her legs, which Zhou Ming thought was unlikely to be able to make, but after trying dozens of materials, she succeeded in making them!

Today's Lina is very famous in the royal capital's ladies' circle, every time she attends a party, she will become the focus of the audience, and after two or three days, the royal capital's ladies' circle will set off a wave of fashion trends around her clothes.

As the chief designer of "Menglan Clothing", she is the first choice for countless ladies to order clothes...... Even if the price is high.

Coupled with her small wealth, the nobles who fancied her and pursued her had at least a strengthened company, and there were even two counts among them.

Lina is also 17 years old this year, and she has reached the best age to get married, and as long as she nods, she can also be among the upper class, and even become a countess.

In this regard, Zhou Ming also said: she has the right to choose freely, if she has a favorite object, she can be with that person, and Zhou Ming will send his blessings.

But......

Lina shook her head, she wouldn't think about the object until her brother Henry had become a noble magician.

We will not accept anyone's pursuit.

She doesn't have anyone she likes in her heart, except for ......

Hearing this, Zhou Ming didn't say anything more, no matter if Lina wanted to marry early or late, this was her personal freedom, he had no reason to interfere, anyway, everything was fate.

But I didn't see the sad light that flashed in Lina's eyes.

Isn't there a glimmer of possibility between us?

Is my beauty really not attractive?

What can I do to catch up with you and qualify to be liked?

Lina had these questions in her heart, and there was also a trace of stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.

"I must make bigger achievements, make more money, and let you see my ability!"

Not bad.

Now Lina, all her thoughts are on making money and proving herself.

Her ultimate goal is to make him appreciate herself, let him look at herself, and ...... in front of the man who occupies her inner place. Let him fall in love with himself.

If Zhou Ming knew about this brain circuit in Lina's brain, he would probably be surprised.

"You make good results, and then your sweetheart will fall in love with you...... Between these two things, there is actually this kind of derivation logic, which ......"

This logic is too powerful.

……

A few more days passed.

Zhou Ming went to the palace.

I'm going to borrow two masters from King Jaime to keep the vial castle safe.

Or rather, to protect yourself.

Not bad.

Zhou Ming needs one or two strong bodyguards to follow him and protect his safety.

Because he had so much to do, starting a bank, researching magic potions, meditating, and so on, it was impossible for him to devote a lot of energy to dealing with all kinds of intrigues and sudden assassinations or attacks.

For example, in the "Annihilation Case" that caused a sensation in the royal capital two days ago, Lao Fu, the former treasurer of the kingdom, and his family were rolling up a large amount of treasure and preparing to return to the countryside to their fiefdom.

At the court meeting, some people suspected that Zhou Ming did it, and asked the king to investigate him, in the face of this dirty water, it is difficult to explain it, and Zhou Ming will not allow others to search his castle to see if the 8 million treasures are hidden in his house, which is too passive.

Zhou Ming directly scolded the past: "I can dispense tens of thousands of bottles of magic potions in a day, worth millions of gold coins, I especially need to rob other people's money, I will do this kind of useless thing, if someone even believes this obvious planting, I can only say that he is an idiot!"

The other party didn't give up, and sneered: "You have a weak heart, right?

Zhou Ming glared at him and said: "You are a member of the Pinos family, right? Very good, from today onwards, I will not pay you a single salary, and Dilo Bank will not allow the people of the Pinos family to invest in shares, after the pharmaceutical production plant expands its production scale, the Pinos family will be restricted from obtaining the qualification of the dealer list, and in the future, the Pinos family, don't want to make a penny from me!"

The other party was dumb when he landed, and he didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth, and the officials who were going to help him and fall into trouble for Zhou Ming also took half a step back and obediently shut their mouths.

King James also said two kind words to Zhou Ming, and scolded Count Pinos a few times.

Not bad!

That's the power of money, and it's a thing that can shut up the most stubborn.

As for the nascent affairs of the bank, all the nobles in the royal capital who have some information channels know what it means after learning some details about the bank, and they all consider taking a piece of the pie.

In particular, after the original shares of the bank totaling 10 million gold coins were sold, they were all sold out in less than ten minutes.

Of which the king bought 5 million.

Zhou Ming bought 3 million.

The remaining 2 million, other nobles are simply not enough.

Everyone is looking forward to the start of the second batch of 20 million gold coins of crowdfunding shares, and they are all gearing up to buy a little.

Now the Pinos family has been disqualified from purchasing shares, and it is impossible to get the agency of magic potions, which is really a bit of a big loss.

Of course, there will be some aristocratic officials who are privately dissatisfied with Zhou Ming's domineering, but they still dare not openly contradict and offend Mr. God of Wealth.

Therefore, the "extermination case" of Lao Fu's family, Zhou Ming cleared up the relationship in this way.

Of course, if Zhou Ming wants to fully prove his innocence, it would be best for him to set up a case-solving team and personally lead people to solve the case and shut up all the doubters.

But......

He really didn't have that time.

He still has a lot of business to do.

At the same time, he also determined that as he did more and more things, there would only be more and more open guns and hidden arrows in the future, and he needed to find two powerful bodyguards to pull up a line of defense.

Fill the vacuum of defense after the departure of Elf Tika and Warrior Captain Gurdjieff.

This kind of human resources, of course, is only available on the king's side.

After talking to King Jaime about this matter, the old king agreed very cheerfully: "Okay, I will arrange two powerful men for you to protect your safety." ”

Zhou Ming came to the palace today, just to pick up people.

"Smack!"

King Jaime clapped his hands twice, and two tall figures of the British shore walked in through the side doors of the apse.

Silver helmet and bright armor, hand pressed long sword.

The face is delicate and the pace is vigorous.

Graceful figure, long hair shawl.

Two female warriors dressed as knights stood in front of Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming was taken aback: Two women?

After scanning one of the familiar faces, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Princess Syvanis......?

The princess acts as a bodyguard for herself?

That's ridiculous, isn't it?

King Jaime, who was sitting on the throne, smiled like a chrysanthemum at the moment.

He felt a burst of pride in his heart, and said secretly: Boy, this time I even have a blood capital, so I don't believe that I can't trap you!
