Leaving the temple of Auluel, the goddess of winter, Powell Jr. returned to the street. The excitement of being appreciated by the superior quickly dissipated, and he stood in the street in deep thought, thinking repeatedly about how to proceed with the investigation of Victor. Hugo's whereabouts.

According to the information provided by the old wizard Bank, the black market in the Banshee Castle has been particularly hot recently. Large quantities of supplies are being shipped out of the city, even semi-publicly, because there are many of the city's magnates behind them.

The blatant behavior of the enemy is not constrained in the slightest, and this is what Louis is. Fils fears the most. Powell Jr. was also shocked when he learned about the volume of transportation and the flow of money in the black market

Victor. Hugo is really generous, just by spending money to smash the Banshee Castle out of a big hole, relying on the soul crystal, with the succubus to provide transportation channels, Zhou Qingfeng can easily transport all kinds of local products that have been depressed in the north to the south.

This change of hands is several times the windfall profit.

In Powell Jr.'s view, the 50 percent premium for the Northland specialty is like a bankrupt suicide. But Zhou Qingfeng not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money, and in turn, he bought the grain and cloth that the merchant had finally transported to the Banshee Fort at several times the price.

It seems that Zhou Qingfeng didn't make any money this time in and out, only the magnates of the Banshee Castle made a fortune. But the Fils family did not get any gains, but lost a lot of blood, which was enough to make Louis. Fils hated it.

Louis. Fils is currently the new owner and is about to take the throne. Out of caution, he did not force the old magnates of the Banshee Castle to stop trading with Zhou Qingfeng. Even if he gives an order, it is useless, blocking people's money is like killing his parents, which will only intensify the conflict.

Powell Jr. was ordered to investigate, and he did not dare to casually break into the black market to arrest people for questioning. He could only silently go back to his residence along the street and discuss with several of his brothers who were also in distress.

Some people came up with the idea of contacting Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates from the black market, some suggested tracking the transport convoy, and some people thought of accepting the solicitation to blend in with the trainees. But these ideas were vetoed by Powell Jr

"You don't understand Victor. Hugo's terrible. He has a mental ability called 'Holy Light', which can easily identify people with different hearts. When I first joined the Raiders, I was reminded by a guy named Fabro. ”

Powell Jr. once again talked about his experience of fighting against Zhou Qingfeng many times, and talked about his unlucky deeds of repeated defeats. His brothers fell silent for a moment, remembering the moment when their 'father' was sprayed to death by the dragon's breath.

"Against the enemy, we can't win. But we'll just take Victor. Just find out Hugo. As soon as Powell Jr. looked at the expressions of his brothers, he knew what they were thinking, "Don't be so afraid, we can't really do it." ”

"I want not to alarm Victor. Hugo and find him, what are we going to do? A brother asked.

Powell Jr. has been thinking about it for a long time, trying to recall the half month he spent as a sparring partner for Zhou Qingfeng, and finally had only one idea, "Maybe we can only find our goals through our habits." ”

"What habits?"

"Victor. Hugo had some very special aristocratic habits that I had never seen in anyone else. For example, he is too clean, very picky about food, and too kind to the untouchables. ”

The brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to find a target that met these requirements.

Powell Jr. is already an official knight at the moment, and the promotion of his status makes him hate Zhou Qingfeng even more, "That guy's kindness to the untouchables may be taken advantage of by us." Go and find out if there's anything like that in the city. ”

The brothers looked at each other and nodded slightly.

While the remnants of the Powell family were racking their brains, Zhou Qingfeng also quietly returned to the Banshee Castle from the lumberyard outside the city. He stood again in the darkness on the wall of the city, gazing at a tall tower not far away.

Behind Zhou Qingfeng is Adrian, this clown relies on abundant funds, and is like the leader of the City Fox Society in the Banshee Castle. He even had a way to collude with the people in the City Lord's Mansion to directly spy on the confidential information of the Fils family.

"It's not hard to get to know the news in the city, and it's impossible for the Fils family to take care of everyone under them. There were a large number of servants and servants who were willing to provide some of their daily experiences in exchange for pocket money of one or two silver coins. ”

Adrian said proudly, the tasks assigned by Zhou Qingfeng are what he is best at. "I found some old servants of the Fils family, and they have interesting memories of the past. ”

Life expectancy in Northland is low, and most people don't live to be 30 years old. Adrian found an old cook who had lived for more than sixty years, served three generations of the Fils family, and even witnessed the demon invasion back then.

"The old cook didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and he was quite healthy now. He said that the human alliance resisted the demonic invasion and built seventeen large fortresses in the Northlands. After the war, these forts were gradually transformed into the seventeen cities of the Northland.

The demon army has been driven back into the abyss, but there are still many demons and their descendants scattered and hidden, and someone must stay behind to clean them up. The first generation of the Fils family was a legendary hero left behind.

The remaining Townsholders initially hunted down the demons and their descendants. It's just that when peace comes, the pressure dissolves, and the human coalition is disbanded. A lot of things have changed, even reversed. ”

Adrian shrugged his shoulders and stopped, "The old cook refused to say what had happened, and when he was asked, he scolded the people of the southern principalities for their treachery, and said that he wanted to know the secret, so let me ask Bank." ”

There was only one of the Banshee Castle higher-ups named Bank.

The streets of the city are lit with a few bonfires, and in the dim light you can see a tall tower standing in the center of the city. It was the earliest building of the Banshee Fortress, a wizard's tower. On the first day of his arrival, Zhou Qingfeng stood under the tower for sightseeing.

Adrian followed Zhou Qingfeng's gaze and asked in a low voice, "Your Excellency Hugo, should you really go to Bank, who is known as the strongest wizard in the Northlands?" He was a member of the Human Alliance, and the only living legend in the Northlands. ”

Back then, in order to resist the demon army, the human race gathered almost half of the elite combat power of Faeron, and it was not the weak who could survive until the end of the war.

Bank's name is a lot, and it's certainly not in vain. It was difficult to break into the wizard's tower he guarded.

Zhou Qingfeng turned his head back. From the shadows came the voice of a halfling girl who was angry, "Don't look at me. The last time I ran away with you, I almost died when I met a descendant of evil insects. I'm not going to mess around with you this time. ”

Zhou Qingfeng said 'um' and didn't move. He's not that stupid, and directly challenges the Wizard's Tower of a legendary wizard, which is no different from looking for death. The investigation into the Iron Curtain can only come to an end.

But based on the combined clues, it is likely that the old wizard, who had been active since the time of the demonic invasion, knew something. It's just that the gap between Zhou Qingfeng and his rank is too big, and he is afraid that he can't do anything about the other party for a while.

"Forget it, it's very rewarding to check it now." Zhou Qingfeng thought about it, but decided to give up the idea of taking risks. The green crystals he had accumulated before had been exhausted in repeated tosses, and the modification of the crossing rules had also cut off the easy way to obtain them. This caused him to lose an important killer feature.

"Sophia, inform our personnel at the Banshee Castle to prepare to evacuate. If you see it, you will accept it, and then it is time to provoke a war in the entire Northland. Zhou Qingfeng turned around and jumped off the city wall. Adrian and Kelly followed.

At this time, Professor Zheng, who had been living in Zhou Qingfeng's mind for nearly a month, suddenly said: "Xiao Zhou, I have roughly browsed the knowledge content in your 'Gate of True Knowledge' and listed a research plan.

It's a time-consuming process that requires a lot of patience and dedication. As a first step, I will transform myself into a ghost and work my way up for the next few years or decades to eventually become a lich. ”

Lich?!
