Chapter 0360: Digging the Foot of the Wall
The Coldwind City Barracks, the garrison of the City Lord's Guard.
More than 400 knights are the backbone and cornerstone of Coldwind City, and the families and dominions to which they belong make up the entire ruling system. Compared with the mysterious wizard group, the common people have more contact with the knight lord.
On the training ground of the military camp, Zhou Qingfeng wore leather armor and held a wooden sword to fight against a middle-aged knight. The two sides moved extremely fast, back and forth. Both attack and defense are extremely decisive, and the block slash between the blades is completed in the blink of an eye.
Slashing, slashing, blocking, the blade whirring.
In just a few breaths, Zhou Qingfeng's wooden sword stabbed his opponent's chest, and his own waist and hips were also swept away. The offensive and defensive duel is complete.
The middle-aged knight took off his helmet, looked down at the white spots on his leather armor, and snorted in displeasure. Zhou Qingfeng rubbed his waist that was swept by the wooden sword, and the flesh under the leather armor was numb, and he knew that there must be blood stasis in it.
'Treatment of minor injuries'.
Zhou Qingfeng used his magic to resolve his injuries. At the moment of healing, half of his body trembled with pain, and it was estimated that his internal organs were damaged. If you were an ordinary person, this blow would have ruined the person.
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng pressing his hand on his waist, twisting around as if he was nothing. The middle-aged knight was even more angry, and he directly turned his head and left the training ground, without any grace.
After the middle-aged knight left completely, Jason dared to approach Zhou Qingfeng and whispered, "You have offended the second deputy city lord of Cold Wind City, Lord Exxon, who controls the city lord's guard. ”
"This guy did it himself. If you want my life, can I still be polite to him? Zhou Qingfeng also hated and scolded, "But his existence also proves one thing." There are also many contradictions within the city lord's guard, and the Longleg family is really going to be unable to control the situation. ”
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head, and on the other side of the training ground, several knights laughed and applauded. He took off his helmet and walked over, deliberately saying with a bitter face, "What can I do?" That Lord Exxon hates me to death. ”
The City Lord's Guard is controlled by the Longleg Family, but the members of the guard come from hundreds of different families in the city. Several of the people who applauded Zhou Qingfeng came from the Arad and Minos families, and the leader was the patriarch of the Arad family.
After getting the wizard group, it is natural to continue to win over the powerful in the city. With the help of Jason and the merchants' channels, Zhou Qingfeng and the knights of the city lord's guard can also talk and laugh.
Let's do business first, talk about women, and then practice our hands, and friendship will come up. It's a lot easier than dealing with the wizards.
Half of the knights in the City Lord's Guard belong to the Longlegs family, and the other half belong to other magnates, large and small. Zhou Qingfeng has been digging into the corners of the wall in the past few days, and he has defeated four or five knights in a row. Regardless of foot and cavalry, he has the upper hand.
Since all the defeats were the people of the long-legged family, Lord Exxon, who was in charge of the guards, was disgraced and personally went down to fight Zhou Qingfeng. As a result, the seventh-level knight and the fourth-level 'tyrant' were tied in terms of combat skills.
The other knights who were watching all cheered loudly, and old Arad even stepped forward to hold Zhou Qingfeng's hand, his eyebrows and beard were all smiling, "Hugo boy, you are really amazing."
At your age, I was hiding in the backyard of a noblewoman's house, drenched in the rain and praying that her man would die soon. You're already like me ten years ago, laughing and standing in the arena waiting for a pretty lady to throw a handkerchief at you. ”
Several knights told meat jokes, and dragged Zhou Qingfeng into the living room of the barracks. Jason passed by him and reminded in a low voice, "These are old foxes, and they have been waiting for someone to come forward to trouble the Longlegs family." ”
Zhou Qingfeng was also laughing, and asked a few 'old foxes' if they had young and beautiful granddaughters to introduce. In response to Jason's reminder, he nodded in clarity.
The servants brought wine and melons and fruits, and a group of old men stepped on the table with their legs raised, bragging and laughing at each other. Those who don't understand will definitely be stunned by them, and will think that they have come across a party of demigod bosses.
However, the knights of Coldwind City are obviously a little vulgar, and their imagination is limited. They brag that they killed a few dragons and a few evil gods, but they can't say what dragons and gods, or they say something different every time.
Zhou Qingfeng has faced off with dragons and gods. He laughed and said a few words casually, and it would make people feel - ouch, this young man is so good at bragging. A bunch of us can't blow him.
"If you really want to fight the evil god, I think you need better equipment. In particular, there is an abyss sacrifice in the city, which makes it even more necessary. Zhou Qingfeng changed the topic and talked about the direction he wanted.
When it came to business, a few 'old foxes' restrained their smiles.
"Guys, let's be honest." Zhou Qingfeng didn't want to go around the bush with a group of big bosses, "I'm just a businessman, and I have plans to gain a foothold in Cold Wind City." But there are weird and terrifying evil insect believers in the city, how can you bear it?
I had plans to join the Longlegs family. But when I found out that the Longlegs had appointed an evil inhuman being as the Inspector General, I was extremely wary of the city. ”
Zhou Qingfeng had a worried and compassionate expression. None of the 'old foxes' here spoke, how could they not know the abyssal background of the Inspector General? It is nothing more than a compromise of interests and power.
This topic was suddenly exposed, and the 'old foxes' also felt that they couldn't hold their faces.
Zhou Qingfeng changed the topic again, "I have talked to several chiefs of the wizarding group, but they don't believe that the inspector general is an evil existence, so they decided to investigate this and arrest a suspected 'evil insect sacrifice'. ”
These words immediately alerted several old foxes in the barracks, and they stared at Zhou Qingfeng and waited for the following. But Zhou Qingfeng didn't say any more, but glanced at them with a smile.
There was silence for a few seconds, and neither side seemed to want to reveal too many hole cards. The 'old foxes' wanted to calm down, but Zhou Qingfeng got up and patted his ass and wanted to leave. As he was about to leave the parlor of the barracks, old Arad finally spoke.
"Hugo, please stay."
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head and waited for the next step with a smile.....
"What did you mean by that?"
"I'm actually a messenger, and I want to ask you if you'd like to join forces with the wizarding group and take out an evil insect sacrifice as a sign of mutual sincerity. If today's topic leaks out, then it will naturally be as if nothing happened. ”
"What if we agree?"
"That evil insect sacrifice is only level five, and it controls Raven Street in the docks. It's just one person, and it's very easy to deal with. In addition, there is also a den of evil insect believers in the artisan area, which is a blacksmith shop. It's a bit more crowded, but it can be done. ”
"What if we don't agree?"
"Then even if my plan fails, my Chamber of Commerce and I will withdraw from Coldwind City. If you continue to accept the rule of the Longlegs, the wizarding group will lose much convenience, and you will not be able to make any money from me. ”
After Zhou Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned around and left the barracks. Not long after, Jason came back to deliver the word - Victor. Hugo said that if you don't join forces with him to kill the Longlegs. He's going to join forces with the Longlegs family to kill you.
By the way, the Wizarding Order has decided to talk to Victor. Hugo joins forces. Because the benefits he can bring are higher.
