Two days after that.

Zhou Ming visited Duke Moratt Hansen and Duke Harrow Paris successively.

In the Kingdom of Adud, Duke Rudolph, Duke Hansen, and Duke Paris are known as the "Three Pillars of the Kingdom".

The reason is that Duke Rudolph is the richest, Duke Hansen occupies the most land, and Duke Paris has the most army.

These three dukes, Zhou Ming can't do it if he doesn't give face.

However, after the unhappy parting in Duke Rudolph's mansion, the other two dukes, Zhou Ming, did not talk very well.

Because the other two dukes also wooed him and made similar demands to Duke Rudolph.

I also want him to help start a pharmacy production plant.

As for cooperating with the royal family, there are no plans to do so.

They all want to dominate.

But with the conditions of the Kingdom of Adud, there are really not so many resources, and to set up two potion factories will only form internal friction.

If he agrees to cooperate with one of the three dukes and sacrifice the interests of the royal family, Zhou Ming will not only have a reputation for treachery, but will also have no less power than he does now.

Therefore, no matter how Zhou Ming cooperates with that force, there will always be some people who will become his enemies and opponents.

And a little bit of small profit, it is impossible to send it away, and it is difficult to turn enemies into friends.

So what to do?

How should Zhou Ming deal with the upcoming severe challenges?

It's still those eight words: soldiers will block, water will flood.

Sure enough, just a week later.

An assassin entered Zhou Ming's room.

Lina is almost kidnapped by a gang member.

Zhou Ming himself was also subjected to all kinds of tracking and covert observation.

After several thrills, and there were no casualties, but the threats and warnings of those forces, Zhou Ming had already received them.

As for who these forces are?

You don't have to guess that Zhou Ming also knows, it must be among the three major dukes.

Or, in the worst-case scenario, it would not be an exaggeration to make all three dukes "enemies".

In the face of such a grim situation, how should Zhou Ming respond?

To deal with unruly hooligans, one can only be more hooligan than a hooligan.

Through investigation, he found out that several assassinations and attempted kidnappings around him were all carried out by his classmate Martin's father, Earl Hill.

Zhou Ming spent three days kidnapping his classmate Martin, the wife of Earl Hill, his nanny and maid, the coachman, and the guards guarding the mansion, all of whom were fifty or sixty people unknowingly.

In the end, even the panicked Earl of Hill had just finished asking Duke Paris for help, and he was kidnapped by a group of mysterious people.

In the basement of an abandoned castle, Zhou Ming reunited Earl Hill's family.

Zhou Ming said to the general who commanded the 100,000 Kingdom Knight Legion: "It's okay to play conspiracy, I can use all my talent in dispensing potions to this, see who has played whom?"

"The nobility has the rules of the nobility, the hooligans have the rules of the hooligans, you don't want the dignity of the nobles, do what the hooligans do, you can, we are more hooligans than anyone?!"

Zhou Ming listed various ways to torture the other party's family, asked people to come up with various tools, and introduced the functions of these tools, if the other party wanted to play, he could accompany them to play to the end!

Earl Hill was scared.

His own job is a soldier who leads the troops to fight, and in terms of intrigue and trickery, all he can think of is kidnapping, assassination, and threats.

Many of the other party's "whimsical ideas" actually made him feel creepy.

"No, I won't be again!"

Earl Hill promised that he would never again play intrigue and threaten him and those around him...... In the future, everyone will play conspiracy, not conspiracy.

I don't know if his assurance is true or false, but Zhou Ming chose to believe it, and said that he would only believe it once, and that something similar would happen next time, hum...... He will show Earl Hill what the real devil is!

After letting Earl Hill's family go, sure enough, the threats and harassment incidents that happened around him finally decreased significantly.

Many unfriendly forces were intimidated by him.

For the first time, Zhou Ming used a more hooligan method to dispel the illusions of a group of hooligans.

This is the first time in all his dungeon experiences that he has used this method to intimidate his opponents and make them follow the rules.

The results are remarkable...... After all, powerful people have families, and they are not barefoot singles.

In the face of hooligans who do not follow the rules at all, sometimes they are also afraid.

What can be solved within the rules, they give priority to solving in a rule-abiding way.

……

A palatial interior of the Duke's Palace.

The two were talking.

"Lord Duke, that kid doesn't eat hard and soft, and he is quite clever and ruthless, so it's not easy to deal with?"

Earl Hill said, after a confrontation, he completely understood that the kid was powerful, not a simple role.

"What are we going to do, Lord Duke, what are we going to do with him?"

Duke Paris is in his fifties, in the prime of life, he is stationed on the frontier all the year round, he has the temperament of a horse, with a hooked nose, vulture eyes, a gloomy and serious expression, and meticulous military dress, you can see that he is a ruthless character at a glance.

Hearing Earl Hill's words, Duke Paris stood in front of the window and pondered for a moment with his hands behind his back.

Long.

He said, "Let them bounce for a while." ”

"In a short time, that factory will be mine, this kingdom will be mine, everything will be mine!"

"No one can defy the will of the Paris family!"

What the?

Earl Hill's eyes flashed with horror.

Although in front of him, Duke Paris often expressed his dissatisfaction with the royal family and other families, but he did not expect that behind the dissatisfaction was the ambition and idea of the Duke to replace him.

For the first time today, Earl Hill, who understood the true thoughts of the Duke's heart, was very surprised.

Glancing at the duke's slightly murderous eyes, Earl Hill knelt down on one knee and placed his right hand on his chest:

"My subordinates will always follow you. ”

As Duke Paris's hardcore confidant and vassal, no matter what the Duke wants to do, Count Hill can of course have to follow.

The murderous intent in Duke Paris's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he nodded slightly.

I secretly said in my heart: This decadent and backward kingdom should have a new master a long time ago.

……

Summer year, mid-July.

The hottest time of the year.

The scorching sun scorched the road and smoked the air, distorting the light in the air.

This is the hottest day.

Magical Society.

Hall Gannis, the manager of Gannis's pharmacy, is finally back.

After getting the news, Zhou Ming hurriedly visited, apologized to him, and told him what happened between him and Winnie during this time.

and the news that she had left the Kingdom of Aduid for more than two months...... I told the store manager Hall.

"Mr. Hall, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to hurt Winnie in the slightest. ”

"If you are very angry, please give me some punishment, I promise not to resist. ”

Zhou Ming said this, very apprehensive.

Manager Hall didn't speak, just picked up the magic phone in the corner of the counter and dialed a call.

After half an hour on the phone, the store manager Hall told Zhou Ming:

"Winnie is fine, she went to the Viteros Empire, and now she is with her parents, this child has not been very worry-free since she was a child, and her parents have no time to discipline, so they can only be put here with me, I, who is a grandfather, can't teach a lot of truth, and now that she has grown up, his parents should take better care of her. ”

"But I did hurt her a lot. Zhou Ming lowered his head and said.

"It's better to hurt than staying in the greenhouse all the time, you don't have to blame yourself, you are indeed much better than Winnie, what you have done recently, I have learned a little, far beyond my expectations, it is not only of great significance to the Kingdom of Adude, but even to the entire wizarding world!"

Store manager Hall said that he was surprised by Zhou Ming's 'pharmaceutical production factory' after learning about the situation.

Such a whimsical thing, this kid actually did it.

"Mr. Hall, aren't you worried that after the pharmacy factory is put into operation in large quantities, it will be very difficult for your pharmacy to do business?"

Zhou Ming said that the pharmacy production plant may be like a crusher for all kinds of large and small pharmacies.

Store Manager Hall shook his head with a smile: "Magicians are not businessmen, they never worry about money, these things you do will make the number of magicians increase exponentially in the future, and the average strength will also increase significantly, which is a good thing for the development of magic, replacing pharmacists with machines is indeed something that geniuses can do." ”

"Lei Lin, do what you have in your hands, don't waste your talent, continue to make greater achievements in the field of pharmacists, I will also leave in two days, this Gannis Pharmacy and the affiliated Medicinal Materials Chamber of Commerce, give it all to you, I am old, it is almost time to retire, this pharmacy, just give it to the person who deserves it the most." ”

Zhou Ming was taken aback: "The pharmacy ...... Give it to me, what's in this store is worth at least a few million gold coins, right?"

Store manager Hall looked displeased: "Thunderlin, I've said it many times, magicians are not businessmen, they shouldn't care too much about money, I gave you the store, I just hope you can use it to play a greater purpose, I hope you can pass it on well, do you understand what I mean?"

"I see!"

Zhou Ming straightened his body, bowed deeply and said, "Teacher, I'm sorry!" At this moment, he felt very ashamed, the selfless spirit of Store Manager Hall, he really couldn't compare.

The store manager's wrinkled face bloomed with a pleased smile and patted him on the shoulder: "You kid is finally willing to call me a half-pharmacist, 'Teacher'." ”

"Teacher~!"

Zhou Ming scratched his head embarrassedly.

Two days later.

After everything was handed over, Store Manager Hall left the Kingdom of Adund.

Also went to the Waitros Empire to the south.

Before leaving, Zhou Ming took off the 'Storm Staff' and 'Space Ring' in his hand, handed them to Store Manager Hall, and said that this was Winnie's thing, and asked him to give it back to Winnie on his behalf.

"I took the Storm Staff, you can keep the space ring, this is something that belongs to me, it is usually used to store some unstable medicinal materials and potions, it is of great help to the pharmacist, you can keep it." ”

Store Manager Hall handed the space ring back.

"This is too precious!" Zhou Ming was taken aback and waved his hand back.

"Take it, when you don't need it later, come and pay me back. ”

"Then I'll use it for the time being, and I'll definitely return it in the future!"

Zhou Ming accepted it and sent it more than fifty miles, only to be driven back by the store manager Hall.

sighed in his heart: Store Manager Hall, this kind old man, is the best person he has been to him since he came to this world.
