With a shocking sound, Rom jerked and turned. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng come out of the shadows in the corner of the laboratory, his heart thumped against his throat, his eyes wandered in a panic, and he squeezed out an ugly smile, not knowing how to speak.

"I advise you to put your hand where I can see it, and not to carry me behind my back and prepare to cast a spell. The distance between you and me is less than five meters, and no matter how fast you are, you can't be faster than my sword light. Zhou Qingfeng stood up generously and snorted coldly.

Rom put his hands behind his back in a panic, but was drunk by Zhou Qingfeng in one gulp. He also noticed that the hermit servants, who had been obeying orders, were surrounded from behind, all armed with light and sharp weapons, ready to strike him a fatal blow.

Seeing that he had no chance of winning, Rohm hurriedly raised his hands and shouted, "Your Excellency Hugo, please listen to my explanation." ”

"Explain what? Do I blame you? Zhou Qingfeng sneered, "It's only been two days, and you've moved to another place." Could it be that something has happened in the past two days that is detrimental to my interests, and I need to obtain my forgiveness? ”

Well...... Röm stammered for a moment, and after a while he relaxed, "I admit I really shouldn't have moved without notifying you." This room was lent to me by Wizard Jason, so that I could work without being disturbed. ”

Zhou Qingfeng stood sideways in front of the workbench with the rudimentary lamps and lanterns, scoffing at this nonsense.

When Rom saw that the other party had discovered something he had secretly studied, he said without blushing, "I borrowed your idea and want to try it too." It's just a pity that it didn't work out. You shouldn't mind. ”

"What did Fabro teach you? Do you want to take advantage of it? Zhou Qingfeng asked rhetorically: "I thought that your teacher had a problem, but now it seems that your department has some problems." It's not worth the trust I put in too much. ”

"I ......," Rohm tried to explain. Zhou Qingfeng raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "Don't make up stories anymore, I prefer to believe what I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears."

But it might be better to get along with everyone with a little calmer. I'm here today to ask you to do something for me. ”

"You just command." Röhm busied.

"I have recruited a group of people, more than twenty of them, to be apprenticed under your name."

"More than twenty? I don't need that many apprentices. ”

"It's just a name, and you don't need to pay for it. Lend me your original home to house them, and you say you're training experimental assistants. ”

There are more than 30,000 people in the Banshee Castle, and the bustle of the bazaar tavern has long spread throughout the city. Röhm had heard it in the lab. As soon as he heard it, he knew what it was about—it was nothing more than to recruit some down-and-out guys, and it was easy to do.

Hearing that Zhou Qingfeng still asked for himself, Rohm finally breathed a sigh of relief. He is an alchemist, not a practical person, and making a fortune is his specialty, and he is really afraid of 'Victor. Hugo's bloodthirsty murderer at every turn.

"No problem, no problem, you can show up if you need me." Röm relaxed and laughed, "As for the Fils family, I won't say anything more. His Excellency Hugo can rest assured. ”

"I'm not worried about you." Zhou Qingfeng slandered in his heart. It wasn't that he hadn't seen the 'wallgrass' before, and he didn't feel anything about Rohm's assurance, so he made a second request, "I want to buy the materials on the market in the Banshee Castle through you." ”

"What supplies?"

"Food, cloth, iron, magical materials. I'll make a list, and you can just buy it. ”

Zhou Qingfeng said all about war preparation materials. Buying in the Banshee Castle is several times more expensive than buying from a succubus, which is very cost-effective. But there is a war coming, and things cannot be settled as economic accounts.

The entire Atlas is in a state of chronic scarcity. One less bite of the enemy, one more bite of us. If you want to defeat the Fils family, who dominate the Northland, Zhou Qingfeng will definitely not be able to compete with force, so he can only compete with financial resources.

At this time, don't spend money, keep the money and wait for the escape?

As soon as Rohm heard that Zhou Qingfeng wanted some urgently needed materials, he quickly shook his head. But before he could say no, Uncle Zhou said again: "I allow you to transfer 50% of the premium to me." ”

What's ......, a premium of 50 percent? Local tyrant, are you really so rich?

Rom's head shook twice and he stopped, and he asked uncertainly, "More than half of the premium?" Your Excellency Hugo, are you sure you can accept this price? ”

If a war really starts, the price of war materials can increase several times. What is a 50% premium? While you're still preparing for the war, let's hurry up and get more tun.

Zhou Qingfeng nodded happily, "You shouldn't be able to buy much war supplies, but you can ask others to help." For example, Wizard Jason, who just left, and other capable people. Let them earn some too, and you can earn more. ”

Needless to say, Rom's head from a merchant family had more ideas. At present, there is a shortage of materials, but if it can be at a premium of 50%, then the number of merchants who will ship goods to the Banshee Castle will naturally increase.

As long as Zhou Qingfeng has enough financial resources......

Naturally, Rohm asked, "Your Excellency Hugo, if you could make a deposit......

Zhou Qingfeng took off a pocket from his waist and threw it to Rom, "The gems inside were transported to the south, and they are worth at least two thousand gold coins." That's the deposit. ”

Röhm opened his pocket and reached for three or five polished diamonds. In terms of size and purity, it is definitely popular with wizards, and this is a rare arcane material. He thought of the elven ruins controlled by Zhou Qingfeng, and his mood was excited......

"Your Excellency Hugo, you have made a fortune. No one in the whole Northland is as rich as you. No wonder the Fils family wants to keep an eye on you. If it weren't for the war in the Northland, a large number of forces would have rushed into the Black Forest. ”

Of course, Zhou Qingfeng knew that the more famous he was, the more dangerous it was, otherwise what would he do when he came to Banshee City? Isn't it just to prepare for a rainy day and survive in death?

Facing 'Victor. With Hugo's indifferent gaze, Röhm looked at the small bag of gems in his hand again, and said with a wry smile and a long sigh: "I'll do my best, there should be someone willing to make this deal." ”

"I hope so." Zhou Qingfeng said: "You run more, the physical strength medicine is just your stepping stone, go and make more friends." I can help you watch the lab here, and the Hidden Servant can actually do it himself. ”

A few hidden servants scattered and surrounded them, put down the sharps in hand, and returned to the laboratory table one by one to continue their work. They are directly controlled by Sophia and are even more efficient.

Roma knew that he had been tricked from beginning to end - no wonder 'Victor. Hugo's ability to find himself easily, and the hermit of others is not out of control at all. This frustrated him even more.

At the moment, he can only jump into Zhou Qingfeng's thief ship. Rom nodded, reached out and took two rows of stamina potions from the table, and said, "I'm going to visit a few people from the wizarding group to make sure that I don't delay your affairs." ”

Zhou Qingfeng no longer embarrassed the other party, left a purchase list, and left Roma's private house instead. The alchemist looked at the back of his departure, sighed, and said, "Trouble is coming, and you can't hide from it." ”
