Isn't this the end of the war, and Coldwind and Banshee Castle 'back to normal business relations'. The merchants were the hungriest and thirsty, and as long as there was enough profit, they risked being hanged.

Zhou Qingfeng wants food, and he is extremely short of food. It is not enough to farm the land on your own, you must trade with foreign countries. The Banshee Castle to the south is stuck in the trade route, but if the trade route is really broken, there is no money to be made.

Not long after the end of the war, the town of Dense Mist, which had been used as a battlefield, ushered in a new prosperity. Dilapidated buildings have been repaired, clogged roads have been cleared, and convoys of cars have come and gone, bringing the town back to life.

To the south, the Duchy of Oss is at war, but agricultural products are still being transported to the north.

Coldwind City has continued to upgrade its manufacturing industry, not only metalwork, but also glass in small quantities. Much cheaper than those for wizards.

If the cement is brought out again, Uncle Zhou will have to get together the three artifacts of crossing.

Now the profits of running the north-south trade route are extremely high, and Zhou Qingfeng deliberately made profits, attracting a large number of businessmen to flock to it. For a time, Coldwind City became a rapidly rising commercial center in the Northlands.

In the context of the easing of contradictions, Powell and Johnson are again. Their sign is to spy on the enemy, but they actually use the funds of the Banshee Castle as capital and are ready to do business.

It's just that when they arrived in Coldwind City, the two of them met a dismount. In the past six months, the city has completely changed, even the roads have been replanned, and the urban layout has been greatly adjusted.

In addition, the rule of Lord Hugo was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Ordinary people have been relieved of the heavy pressures they had carried in the past. The taxes, servitude, and status of the inhabitants have changed dramatically. Everyone has a kind of ease in their hearts, and they sincerely support the new ruler.

The two of them went into the city with all their net worth and ran into a gray nose at the passenger station. But they didn't even have any accommodation, so they hurried to the market.

Since the food in the Banshee Castle was controlled by big merchants, the two of them couldn't get the goods at all, so they could only go to Cold Wind City to try their luck. Before they came, they had already understood that a trip from north to south would increase the principal by at least 50 percent.

If you can get the goods in demand, it is not impossible to make several times the profit.

The markets in the city are currently controlled by the 'Chamber of Harmony', with shops selling different types of goods. Johnson is a spellcaster, and the first thing he does is go to the magic material store.

The shop is located in the central square of the city, and the Wizard's Tower is nearby. The two of them rode overnight, entered the city early in the morning, and when the store opened at ten o'clock, they immediately rushed in to select the goods they wanted.

The store is like a chemical storage warehouse, with hundreds of sealed vials for display on the shelves. Each vial is labeled with a name, kind and nature.

Johnson came in cheering, stumbling to the shelves, ignoring the stumbling of his robes. A wizard apprentice came over and looked at him and asked, "Your Excellency, what do you need?" ”

Johnson's hands and feet trembled, his eyes glaring back and forth at the category names on the shelves, muttering the names of various spell-casting materials in his mouth, accompanied by a rapid gasp.

Powell followed up and asked anxiously, "How is it?" Is it in stock? But don't run for nothing. We borrowed from usury, and the interest was calculated in days. If we lose money, we are afraid that we will not be able to go back. ”

Johnson didn't speak, just stared at the container exhibits.

Powell's face turned red in a hurry, and he simply took out a leaflet from his pocket and asked the wizard apprentice in the store: "Do you have all the goods on it?" ”

The apprentice wizard only glanced at it, and knew what these two were doing.

Isn't this the recent coking process that Alsie has mastered, and the coal tar and wood tar collected before have been distilled at high temperature again.

The composition of tar is complex, with tens of thousands of different chemicals.

Maggie and Shumei trained a group of chemistry apprentices to separate thousands of compounds such as phenols, hydrocarbons, benzene, and naphthalene from tar through heating, evaporation, condensation, and extraction.

Many of these compounds have magical effects in the Atlas, which makes them extremely valuable.

Normal wizards rely on natural plants, animals, or minerals to extract them, and the purity of magical materials is at most multiple digits, or even a few tenths of a percent, and most of them are impurities.

The purity of the magic materials made by Arcie can be one or two orders of magnitude higher, and the utility reaches the level of quantitative change causing qualitative change.

The wizards of Coldwind City are 'the first to get the moon near the water', so they have access to far more advanced materials than usual. Their casting skills have increased dramatically recently, and some people continue to advance to master stronger arcane arts, touching deeper magical webs.

In order to establish a strong image of his side, Zhou Qingfeng decided to sell some of the more 'ordinary' potion materials. He even made a special advertising leaflet to distribute to the outside world, also to make more money.

Advertisements were scattered, and the wizards of the Northland did not believe it at first, but inevitably asked the merchants to buy some of them to try. After they confirmed the effect, they immediately flocked to it, and they couldn't stop it.

Now the tower of wizards in Coldwind City is full of people, entertaining wizards who keep coming every day. Everyone wondered where this high-purity magic material came from?

Even if you don't have the secret recipe, it is very convenient to conduct research nearby.

Wizards seem to be rich, but in fact, the consumption of their research is too large, and a random leak in hand is enough for other classes to make a lot of money. But they themselves are caught in a huge imbalance between costs and returns.

Advanced experiments require high-quality materials, but high-quality materials also mean high costs. The closed nature of the wizarding world means that there is too little communication, and everyone is 'reinventing the wheel'.

Zhou Qingfeng only needed to reduce the price of materials to half of the 'normal' level, and the wizards of the entire northern land would not be able to sit still. With a little openness, Coldwind City can harvest the talents that others have cultivated for decades.

For Powell's eagerness, the wizard apprentices in the store have seen too much. He only nodded slightly, and said, "All magic materials are in sufficient supply at the moment, but the price has increased by twenty percent compared to last week. ”

Hearing this, Johnson, who had been staring at the shelves, hurriedly turned around and looked at Powell. Both of them nodded abruptly in unison - this price is still within the affordable range, and some make money.

"We need 'Naraku's Oil', 'Devil's Saliva', 'Extract of the Stamens of the Man-Eating Flower'......" Johnson quoted more than a dozen material names in one breath.

These materials have long been circled on the leaflets, and they are the best selling goods at the moment. Transporting them to the Banshee Castle can increase the value by two or three times, and if they are transported to the war-torn Duchy of Os, it will increase tenfold.

The wizard apprentice pouted every time he heard a name, and at the end of the day, he couldn't help but say, "Don't use an unofficial name when you buy later." Noble wizards should use formal names, such as 'highly aromatic hydrocarbons'. ”

It's cold......

Johnson and Powell both kept their faces strained and did not speak, only Dudu stood on top of his master's head at some point and shouted: "Master, this apprentice is mocking you." He deliberately says what you don't understand as a way to show that he is smarter. ”

The apprentice's careful thinking was drunk and slightly embarrassed. Johnson even whispered 'shut up', not wanting to listen to his pet to expose it. The two sides don't want to argue, and it's only right to get the deal done quickly.

The transaction took place in the store's back room, and the apprentice took the goods in glass bottles, and Johnson appraised them on the spot. Each identification can make him so excited that he is inexplicably excited.

Powell pulled out a small pouch containing magic gems that were easy to carry. The two of them embezzled the intelligence funds given by the Banshee Castle, and also advanced all their net worth, and even did not hesitate to borrow a usury with daily interest and scraped together 1,500 gold coins.

Seeing that the two of them were nervous and solemn, but only took out such a small amount of money, the apprentice pouted again. This expression was caught by Dudu, and it shouted again - Master, he is saying that you two are poor ghosts!
