Coldwind City, the wizard's tower.
The tall wizard's tower seems to rise into the clouds, and you can see it from almost any corner of the city. From time to time, thunder and lightning flashed from the tower, occasionally strong light was emitted, or suddenly disappeared.
This is often an accident caused by wizards out of control, but they are regarded by outsiders as a symbol of unpredictability.
The thick fog concealed the tower, making it difficult to see its true appearance. Wizards are actually boring, seemingly low-key and mysterious, but in fact they like to show off and attract outsiders' attention.
Fabro, the chief alchemist of the eight universities in the tower, is dead. No one took over the vacant position until one day Zhou Qingfeng ran over and occupied the level of the alchemy system.
No one said anything, as if it should be.
Your Excellency Hugo is rich and powerful, and he is quite accomplished in alchemy. The wizards and apprentices in the department also hope that there will be a strong enough person to take the lead, and they naturally admit the status quo.
Leaving the Winter Hall of the City Lord’s Mansion, Jason followed Zhou Qingfeng to the Wizard’s Tower and asked on the way: "Your Excellency Hugo, what do you plan to do next?"
"what do you mean?"
"Everything. It's messy inside and outside the city, which is not good."
Yeah, not so good.
The power of the Long-legged family quickly recovered, and the Buche family of the Southern Banshee Fort had already intervened, and a war that swept the North was inevitable.
The dignitaries of Cold Wind City struggled and fought and had no winners. They were forced to create such a freak as the parliament and invited Zhou Qingfeng out.
The reason is that they feel the threat of death.
The city now doesn't even have a unified command, and once a foreign enemy strikes, everyone will be finished. Phils Long Legs is a believer of the goddess of frost, Oruel, he doesn't understand kindness and mercy.
Jason thought Zhou Qingsheng was confident, but the latter only gave a wry smile when he heard his question, "I will do my best."
do not!
Everyone is counting on you, do you say you do your best
Jason gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency, many people in the city are actually willing to offer you allegiance." He hoped that these words would attract Zhou Qingfeng's attention.
Hahaha..., Zhou Qingfeng smiled.
"I know. Adrian recently organized a team of spy agents and has been paying attention to the situation inside and outside the city. Our caravan also shoulders the responsibility of collecting intelligence. Information is considered the best in the North.
The rich and powerful in the city are messing around, arguing all day long and even infighting. If I'm a subordinate of these idiots, I have to think about my own future, otherwise, it might be a disaster one day.
But as the little lord of Coldwind City, the treatment to my subordinates is not the same as that of other powerful people. Following me will not get territory, nor will I have too many privileges.
So many people secretly hope to offer allegiance to me in exchange for my protection. But after listening to the terms I made, they all ran away again. "
At this point, Zhou Qingfeng smiled at Jason, "The so-called'loyalty' is just that some people want to find a backer who can take the damage, but they are not willing to give anything. What use do I want them to do?"
Jason was speechless and asked again after a long while: "You don't need a power of your own?"
"Need." Zhou Qingfeng smiled again.
Jason thought for a few seconds, and then asked in surprise, "That bunch of trash from the Arcane Research Society? Do you want to train yourself from scratch? It's too late."
Zhou Qingfeng smiled without saying a word, and the two entered the wizard's tower, the alchemy department.
The space in the tower of the wizard is superimposed, and the level of the alchemy system is sealed as a separate space with many different functions. Some specialize in teaching, some sell magic items, some are used for experiments, and some are used for rest.
The passage in the superimposed space is complicated, and there may be a completely different environment behind each door. The apprentices went in and out, and stood and saluted when they met Zhou Qingfeng.
Jason was also one of the apprentices and spent more than ten years of study here. But he is now jealous of the apprentice wizard in the department.
Because Zhou Qingfeng set up an open arcane library after controlling the alchemy system, which is open to all wizards in Cold Wind City.
There are a lot of magical knowledge from the "Gate of True Knowledge" in the library, which in the past was only possible to obtain with money. Just setting up this library, no one opposed Zhou Qingfeng's control of the alchemy department.
This alone greatly increased the strength of the wizards of Coldwind City.
Walking along a passage to the end, invisible light and shadow separate the two spaces.
Jason accompanied him into the private laboratory belonging to Zhou Qingfeng. As soon as he came in, he understood that this was the portable'alchemy workshop' provided by the succubus, but its internal facilities were upgraded again.
The last time he saw a hand-cranked centrifuge, Jason was blushing and itchy. Now there are at least a dozen kinds of alchemy equipment that are completely unnamed in the laboratory.
More than a dozen soul slaves are busy, and there are more apprentices working alongside them.
Sophia, Irene, Arcie, all the strange maids are busy. They are assembling a special super large magic item.
It was a cylindrical piece of equipment that looked like a giant cabinet, filled with odd-shaped circuit boards.
Jason was stunned and couldn't figure out what that piece of equipment was for. He pointed to a few apprentices and asked, "Your Excellency, you actually allow these new manuals to use expensive experimental equipment?"
The apprentices identified were both male and female, and they were all young. The head is surprisingly Eve Lorraine, she is playing with something that looks like a sink but can emit electricity.
But accidentally, that thing suddenly smoked.
The apprentices were frightened and screamed, but Zhou Qingfeng only looked back indifferently, and said to Jason, "Oh, it's a small electrolytic cell. That thing is not very easy to use at the moment, and it needs repeated trials.
However, if used well, that equipment can be used to produce many unique magic materials. We are trying to make more pure and efficient magic potions, and we need to do some basic research. "
Jason couldn't understand it at all.
Strange maids are introducing real-world scientific research concepts, methods and equipment into another world. They tried to obtain enough data through trial and error to create cheaper and more efficient magic items.
"Jason, we are old friends. I happen to be short of a laboratory supervisor. Would you like to do it? In addition to the normal salary, I can open more arcane books to you."
Zhou Qingfeng stood in front of the super-giant magical item in the middle of the laboratory.
Jason's attention was drawn to it again, and he took a closer look at this strange machine. The boards on the body are connected to each other by complicated circuits, and the materials used on the top are all expensive magic metal.
Jason was discerning what this device was for. He suddenly heard Zhou Qingfeng's words and blurted out: "Like Mondino?"
Mondino, the necromancer, was one of the first spellcasters who went to Harmony Village to seek refuge with Zhou Qingfeng. That black-robed rickety skeleton is now the chief of the Necromancer of the Wizards of Coldwind City, and the former chief was killed by him.
Zhou Qingfeng nodded, "When I'm not in Cold Wind City, someone needs to control the alchemy system on my behalf."
"But I only have level 4."
"So what? You won't be only level four forever."
Regarding Jason's hesitation, Zhou Qingfeng waved his hand, and dozens of thick sheepskin books floated on his palm.
Sheepskin is not as light as paper, and there are not many pages in a thick book, but magic records must be copied in sheepskin. The magic scrolls are mostly made of delicate lambskin.
Don't think about it, those are books about arcane and magic, and they are treasures that others dream of. Jason sighed for this and slowly lowered his head and said, "Yes, Your Excellency Hugo, I will follow your wishes."
A magic contract appeared, sparkling with fluorescence.
Both parties determine their rights and obligations, and Jason will follow Victor Hugo from now on. And the first reward he got was the staff making book personally recommended by Zhou Qingfeng.
"Jason, I think there is a plastic energy arcane that is particularly suitable for you-Isaac Missile Storm. Help me make this magic equipment."
