Chapter 0253: Last Small Project
Banshee Castle, Artisan Quarter.
There are more than 30,000 people in the city, and more than half of the population is crammed into this area, which is less than one-fifth of the urban area. Riding on horseback, as far as the eye can see, there are low houses, narrow streets, dark corners, and dodgy faces.
The people who live here are low-income civilians, most of whom make a living by working for the powerful. Chicken crowing dog thieves who need to hide their identities also like it. The sheriffs of the Banshee Castle rarely come to make rounds, and the inhabitants of the castle are on their own.
Zhou Qingfeng was 'invited' out of his house by Rohm. He didn't want to stay in a hotel, so he simply looked for a place to stay in the artisan quarter. Adrian the Clown was very familiar with this kind of dragon and snake mixture, and easily chose a humble house for him.
"This room looks dilapidated, but it's spacious enough to clear three rooms if you clean it up. Horses and mules can be kept in a firewood house without affecting life. The only flaw is that there is no independent well, and you need to go to the street to buy water to drink. β
Adrian hired someone to clean up the house in advance, and Zhou Qingfeng only needed to bring the horse to live. It was supposed to be his safe house in the Banshee Castle, where he could quickly take refuge in case of trouble, but now it's open use.
The wall is low, and a few families next door can see the new Zhou Qingfeng's master and servant. However, most of the people who live here are honest, and when they see visitors with horses, they know that they can't afford to mess with them.
Seth is also used to living at the bottom. He inspected the inside and outside of the house, then went to the surrounding streets to walk around, and hired two servants, a man and a woman, who were enough to serve Zhou Qingfeng's daily life.
Zhou Qingfeng paid Rohm a set of alchemy equipment and reached a cooperation agreement, and then instructed Adrian to go around the market and pay attention to all aspects of information. He decided to live in peace in the Banshee Castle for half a month to experience life here.
Kelly also arrived at the Banshee Castle, but the halfling didn't know what he was doing, and he didn't show up. When asked about her through the information network, she only said that Inisha had confessed that 'you are not allowed to live with Victor', lest a man who is not taboo sneak attack in the middle of the night.
"Am I that kind of person?" Zhou Qingfeng was angry with this reason, but he couldn't do anything about Kaili. As soon as he settled down, he set up a small laboratory bench in his house to continue his feasibility study of 'cheap advanced light sources'.
Uncle Zhou finally recognized the reality and decided to start with the most basic alchemy methods. He bought heat-resistant pottery to hold the lava from the abyss, and worked on it himselfβthe muse would dissipate immediately when faced with the heat.
The lava is like a red-hot piece of iron, and the heat is too high. Simply hang it out as a light source, and the temperature in the house will rise quickly. But this heat dissipation is too fast, and a fist-sized lava rock can't hold up for two or three hours before it becomes cold.
"Sophia, are there any arcane runes that can slow down the release of energy from lava stones?" Zhou Qingfeng asked his assistant.
"This requires retrieving information from the 'Gate of True Knowledge'." Sophia replied, "Brother, your direct access to the big library can improve my search speed, and all the schemes can be simulated in the alchemy laboratory." β
The five-pointed star necklace projected the 'Gate of True Knowledge' in the bedroom, and Zhou Qingfeng walked into the large library. The longer he used the artifact, the more skilled he became at handling it.
With the diffusion of spiritual power, more than a dozen monographs on alchemy flew out of the bookshelf and floated in the air, automatically opening and flipping through them. Without Zhou Qingfeng's direct visual vision, Sophia can quickly retrieve the information in the book through the information network.
After flipping through one book, Sophia flipped through hundreds of high-level alchemy cheats that outsiders could not find in a matter of hours. It's a bit like brushing a paper before doing research, and every time you find something, you will be picked out for projection.
Based on a large number of practical studies in the past, Sophia has selected hundreds of solutions to limit the light and heat dissipation of lava rock. Zhou Qingfeng took these plans to the alchemy laboratory next door to simulate.
Some schemes are successful, but not efficient. Some schemes fail and explode directly. There are also plans that work well, but the requirements for materials are high, and the price is too expensive to promote - after tossing all night, Zhou Qingfeng did not choose a suitable plan.
Dizzy and walking out of the 'Gate of True Knowledge', Zhou Qingfeng felt that his brain power was too much. The huge amount of knowledge came easily, but all the simulations were actually carried out with the help of his brain. This may seem easy, but it's actually a headache.
"I'm really not suitable for scientific research." Zhou Qingfeng was very frustrated, and he put away the elf strange things and wanted to go to bed. But as soon as his head was glued to the pillow, Sophia reminded, "That one named Roma is frantically shouting 'Holy Light'." β
"It's not a big deal, don't let him bother me, I'm going to sleep." Zhou Qingfeng said lazily.
"Then I'll block his call." Sophia replied. Her existence is also based on Zhou Qingfeng's mental state. Zhou Qingfeng was tired, and she was also tired.
Within half an hour of shielding the call, there was a knock on Zhou Qingfeng's door. Fat Rohm's shouting and Seth's disgruntled yelling are mixed with each other. He had just fallen asleep and had to get up and open the door sleepily.
"What's going on?" Zhou Qingfeng, who was red-eyed, asked.
Rom's hands and feet fluttered excitedly outside the door and grinned, "I made it, I made it." β
"What succeeded?"
"Stamina potion. Your Excellency Hugo, you are wonderful. Rohm pushed Zhou Qingfeng into the room, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "The method you got from the succubus is completely correct, and I succeeded in the experiment at one time." β
A bottle of red potion was taken out of Rohm's pocket and dangled in front of Zhou Qingfeng's eyes, "Take a look, take a look." That's what I've refined. This high-quality stamina elixir can be sold for a gold coin in one bottle, and it is definitely in demand.
Thank you so much, thank you so much, thank you so much. The knowledge you taught me came in handy. I will definitely be able to join the wizarding group of Banshee Castle this time, and they will definitely not refuse me. Your Excellency Fils Jr. will also appreciate me. β
There is no harm if there is no contrast!
Look at the people who solve the problem overnight, and the refined potion can be bought at a high price. Uncle Zhou can't even get a 'lamp', it's really bad - it seriously dampens his enthusiasm for scientific research.
"Rom, you understood the alchemy information I gave you in one night?"
"It's very simple, it's only a dozen pages, it's quite easy to understand, and I'm very inspired after reading it. The knowledge from the demons is extraordinary, and the writing is so good, even better than those tomes with thousands of pages.
Real knowledge is worth more than ten thousand dollars, but it turns out that it is so simple. I'm so excited I can't sleep at all and have to come and thank you. β
Rohm seriously praised Zhou Qingfeng's generosity. But Uncle Zhou felt when he heard this-every time Mao talked about the topic of learning, I felt that these people were calling me stupid openly and secretly?
Xueba or something, it's so annoying!
