Leaving the temple of the winter goddess Ollur, young Powell returned to the street. The excitement of being appreciated by the superiors quickly dissipated. He stood on the street without a word, thinking repeatedly about how to proceed to investigate the whereabouts of Victor Hugo.
According to the information provided by the old wizard Bank, the black market transactions in Banshee Fort have been particularly hot recently. A large number of materials are being continuously shipped out of the city, and this behavior is even semi-public, because there are many powerful and powerful people in the city behind it.
The blatant behavior of the enemy is not restricted at all, this is what Louis Fils fears most. Young Powell was also shocked after he learned about the traffic volume and capital flow of black market transactions...
Victor Hugo is really big-handed. He just spent money and smashed the Banshee fort into a big hole. With the soul crystal as the backing, the succubus provides the transportation channel, Zhou Qingfeng can take all the people who have been squeezed in the north. The native products are easily transported to the south.
This change of hands is several times of huge profits.
In Powell's view, the 50% premium open to buy Northland specialties is like bankrupt suicide. But Zhou Qingfeng not only made a lot of money without losing money, but also bought the food and cloth that the merchant had finally transported to Banshee Fort at several times the price.
It seemed that Zhou Qingfeng didn't make any money from this in and out, only the dignitaries of Banshee Castle followed to make a fortune. But the Phils family didn't get any benefits, but lost a lot of blood-this alone was enough to make Louis Phils hate it.
Louis Fils is currently the new master and is about to rise. Out of caution, he did not force the old powerful of Banshee Castle to stop trading with Zhou Qingfeng. Even if he ordered it, it was useless. It would only intensify contradictions if blocking people's money is like killing a parent.
Young Powell was ordered to investigate, and he did not dare to break into the black market casually to arrest people for questioning. He could only go back to his residence along the street in silence, discussing with his brothers who were also in trouble.
Some people came up with ideas to contact Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates from the black market, some suggested tracking the transportation convoys, and others thought of accepting solicitations to join the trainees. But these ideas were rejected by Powell...
"You don't understand the horror of Victor Hugo. He has a mental ability called'Holy Light', which can easily identify people with different intentions. When I joined the crusade team, there was a guy named Fabro. Remind repeatedly."
Young Powell once again talked about his experience of fighting against Zhou Qingfeng many times, and talked about his unlucky deeds of repeated battles and defeats. Several of his brothers suddenly fell silent, and together they remembered the moment when their'daddy' was sprayed to death by the dragon's breath.
"When confronting the enemy head-on, we definitely can't win. But we just need to find out Victor Hugo." Young Powell saw the brothers' expressions and knew what they were thinking. "Don't be so scared. Not on us."
"If we want to find Victor Hugo without disturbing him, what shall we do?" a brother asked.
Young Powell has been thinking about it for a long time, trying to recall the half-month when he was a training partner for Zhou Qingfeng, but in the end he had only one idea, "Maybe we can only find the goal through life habits."
"What life habits?"
"Victor Hugo has some very special aristocratic habits, which I have never seen in other people. For example... He is too clean, he is very picky about food, and too much of untouchables. kindness."
The brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to find a target that met these requirements.
Young Powell is now an official knight, and the promotion of his status makes him even more hate Zhou Qingfeng, who knows his own details. "That guy's kindness to untouchables may be used by us. Go and check if there is anything in this area in the city. "
The brothers looked at each other and nodded slightly.
While the remnants of the Powell family racked their brains, Zhou Qingfeng also quietly returned from the logging yard outside the city to the city of Banshee Fort. He once again stood on the wall of the city in the dark, staring at a tall tower not far away.
Behind Zhou Qingfeng is Adrian. This clown, with ample funds, seems to be the leader of the city fox community mouse in the Banshee Fort. He even has a way to collude with the personnel in the city lord's mansion and directly spy on the confidential information of the Phils family.
"It's actually not difficult at all to hear the news in the city. The Phils family can't take care of everyone under them. There are a large number of servants and helpers who are willing to provide some daily information in exchange for one or two coins ."
Adrian said that he was proud, and the tasks that Zhou Qingfeng explained were what he was best at. He himself is a fish in the water, with ease, "I found some old servants of the Phils family. Their memories of the past are very interesting."
The average life expectancy in Northland is low, and most ordinary people live less than 30 years old. Adrian found an old cook who had lived for more than sixty years, served three generations of the Phils family heads, and even witnessed the demonic invasion that year.
"The old cook didn't worry about eating and drinking, and he is still healthy. He said that the human coalition resisted the invasion of the devil and built 17 large fortresses in the Northland. After the war, these fortresses were gradually transformed into 17 cities in the Northland.
The army of demons was driven back to the abyss, but there were still many demons and their descendants scattered and hidden, and someone had to stay guarded and cleaned up. The first generation of the Patriarch of the Phils family was a legendary hero who left behind.
At first, the guardians who were left hunted down the demons and their descendants everywhere. Only when peace came and the pressure subsided, the human coalition disbanded. Many things have changed or even reversed. "
Adrian shrugged and stopped. "The old cook refused to talk about what happened to the reversal. When asked in a hurry, he scolded the people of several southern principalities for treachery, and said that he wanted to know the secret, so I asked Bank ."
There is only one called Bank in the Banshee Fort high-level.
There was a small bonfire in the streets of the city, and a tall tower could be seen in the center of the city in the faint light. That is the earliest building of Banshee Fort, a tower of wizards. Zhou Qingfeng once stood under the tower for sightseeing on the first day he arrived here.
Adrian followed Zhou Qingfeng’s gaze and asked in a low voice: "Your Excellency Hugo, would you really go to Bank, who is known as the strongest wizard in the North? He was a member of the human coalition. The only legend alive in the North."
In order to resist the demon army, mankind assembled almost half of Faerun's elite combat power, and it is by no means the weak who can survive the war.
Bank has a lot of names, and it certainly is not a vain name. It is really difficult to break into the wizard tower he guards.
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head back. In the shadows came the unrestrained voice of the halfling girl, "Don't look at me. The last time I ran around with you, I almost died when I met the descendants of evil insects. This time I won't follow you to go around.
Zhou Qingfeng said'um', without moving. He is not so stupid, directly challenging the tower of a legendary wizard, which is no different from looking for death. The investigation of the Iron Curtain can only come to an end.
But based on the respective clues, the old wizard who was active during the demon invasion probably knew something. It's just that the gap between Zhou Qingfeng and his rank is too big, and for a while, I'm afraid that there is nothing to do with the opponent.
"Forget it, I found it has been very rewarding now." Zhou Qingfeng thought for a while, and decided to give up the idea of taking risks. The green crystals he had accumulated before were exhausted in the repeated tossing, and the modification of the crossing rules also broke the easy access channel. This caused him to lose an important assassin.
"Sophia, let us know that the personnel at Banshee Fort are ready to evacuate. We will accept it when we see it. Then it's time to provoke the war in the entire North." Zhou Qingfeng turned around and jumped off the city wall. Adrian and Kelly also left.
At this time, Professor Zheng Lao, who had been 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.
This is a time-consuming process that requires a lot of patience and investment. In the first step, I will transform myself into a ghost, and continue to work hard for the next few years or decades, and eventually become a lich. "
Lich? !
