Generally, alchemists build things by doing additions. I wish I could add all the functions they thought of, but I was afraid that they didn't have enough money to squander. But Zhou Qingfeng wanted to do subtraction. He only needed a mobile platform that he could use.
Can be used, easy to use, and affordable.
This is the most critical.
As long as the advantage of mobility is maintained, everything else can be omitted. As for whether this thing looks like a horse or not, it doesn't matter at all.
With such a broad mindset, Sophia and Arcie are relieved of their design and manufacturing, and can build a completely new thing from the fundamental structure.
Zhou Qingfeng's only restriction on this thing is one point-don't be too expensive, this is a consumable product for individual soldiers. Cheaper and large quantity are good.
This kind of request is unprecedented, and the maids are suddenly excited, and there is an endless stream of fantastic ideas. Everyone can make several proposals.
Throwing troubles to the soft girl, Uncle Zhou still has to consider how to deal with the incoming enemy from the south. He interrupted Bridge City in order to avoid worries in the future and be able to concentrate on dealing with the threat of Banshee Fort.
To offer unacceptable conditions to Broken Bridge City was completely deliberately embarrassing the opponent. But the Holden family responded within three days and fully accepted Zhou Qingfeng's request.
What a surprise.
Want compensation for defeat? can.
Want trade and transportation permits? no problem.
Want to vote for a certificate? Meet immediately.
As long as the captive number 80 Holden family knights are returned, everything is easy to say.
Zhou Qingfeng couldn't laugh or cry at all of this, he was still waiting for the other party to bargain. Unexpectedly, the Holden family was more anxious than himself. In particular, the third "voting certificate" requirement was also met.
"I called for the old Bank to be handled by us. They even agreed to this? Who made the decision? It was really decisive."
As a personal maid and secretary, Eve Lorraine reported the latest situation to Zhou Qingfeng, "It is said that it was the decision of Wizard Bank himself. He has arrived in Coldwind City, disarmed all his arms, and is just wanting to see you."
"Old Bank made the decision himself?" Zhou Qingfeng frowned, "He has arrived in Cold Wind City?"
Outside the city lord's mansion, the former chief of Coldwind City prophecy, the old wizard Bank, slowly got out of the carriage. He surrendered his staff, wearing only an ordinary gray robe, without any accessories.
Mondino, the chief of the necromancer, heard that Old Bank was coming, and came here specially from the Wizard's Tower. In Arcane Vision, this'chief' has indeed been disarmed.
"Your Excellency Bank, your actions really surprised me." Mondino is different from the past. From a wandering wizard to the chief of a city, his status has suddenly risen to several levels.
In contrast, Old Bank's gray hair was rather messy and looked haggard. He glanced at Mondino but did not speak, and went straight into the City Lord's Mansion.
The bureaucracy of Coldwind City has undergone drastic reforms. There are only orc guards on duty in the city lord's mansion, and the family servants who originally entered and exited are almost invisible.
This was originally the foundation of the long-legged family. Old Bank is familiar with the plants and trees here, but after changing hands twice, they are all different.
Passing the burning winter hall, Old Bank stopped for a while. The temple remains largely intact, but the sculptures on the outer wall are mostly blackened.
The oak doors of the majestic building are open. Peeking from the door, the statue of Oruel has been destroyed, and the mess in the hall has not been cleared. This is a sacred place, but the Frost Goddess can no longer affect the city.
Alas..., Old Bank sighed silently, walking past with heavy steps.
The same is true for gods and mortals.
Behind the temple is the main residence of the city lord's mansion, and Old Bank is the former chief anyway. Although he didn't understand what he meant by running on his own initiative, it was also a courtesy for Zhou Qingfeng to stand at the door to greet him.
When the two met'last time', Zhou Qingfeng was still a rookie who had just arrived in Coldwind City. The old wizard cast spells to help find clues to the'Imascar Fragment'.
In just two months, when we met again, Zhou Qingfeng was already the lord of Coldwind City, the lord commanding more than 200,000 people. In terms of strength, the entire Northland is also ranked top.
Long-legged family has never had such prestige in Coldwind City for decades.
Without waiting for Zhou Qingfeng to say a few words of welcome, Old Bank stood still, and said with a heavy tone: "Your Excellency Hugo, I can actually escape."
That's right, Zhou Qingfeng asked the Holden family to trade the certificate and designated the old wizard Bank. But he knew it was not easy to catch the chief.
The prophecy system, detecting danger and perceiving hostility, these are basic skills, and it is also the most annoying aspect of prophecy wizards. They don't keep their hands when they slip, it's too difficult to grasp.
Old Bank can be the head of the wizard group in Coldwind City, and he also has two brushes. He must have a variety of constant arcane arts on his body, both detecting and covering, and will flee immediately if there is danger.
"So what did you take the initiative to come and find me for? We are currently the enemy."
"Because even if the Buche family of Banshee Fort successfully drove Lord Hugo away from Coldwind City, this city will no longer belong to the Long-legged family."
Old Bank showed a look of pain, which was a fact he had to admit. Zhou Qingfeng said "oh" for a while, but felt that the other party was a little self-aware.
"The family strength is insufficient, and it has reached the point where one has to choose a stronger one to attach to. Phils Longlegs chooses to attach to the Bouche family, but I am not optimistic about this.
I went to Broken Bridge City, hoping to find an ally for the family. Unexpectedly, His Excellency Hugo was quicker and crueler than anyone else. You are too fast, really too fast.
The Holden family was defeated by you, and Kyle Holden lay in bed and became a useless person. Harding Holden is in charge now, an inexperienced hairy boy. "
Old Bank said what Zhou Qingfeng was proud of, and this flattery was really comfortable. The latter dare not say how strong he is, but in terms of mobilization speed, other northern nobles are like snails at the feet of rabbits in front of him.
But flattering is useless.
Zhou Qingfeng shook his head, "Your Excellency Bank, I will not accept any nobles, nor give privileges to anyone. If you want to take refuge in me..."
Old Bank was not surprised. He only asked, "Do you need a prophecy wizard? Coldwind City's prophecy department are all my disciples, and I can bring them all back."
Zhou Qingfeng is even more strange, "You seem to believe that I will take you in. Is this a prophecy?"
Old Bank shook his head, "This does not need to be predicted, this is a repeat of history. The rise of any power is stepping on the corpse of the old nobleman.
Every family, every kingdom, and even every civilization, this is the case.
Your Excellency Hugo, you don't like nobles. But in the eyes of others, you are a nobleman. You do not grant privileges, but you have the privileges yourself.
The brave who slays the dragon will eventually become an evil dragon, which has never changed for thousands of years. It's nothing more than a few days or a few years.
The long-legged family's original surname is'Leven', but I am actually the uncle of Phil Long-legged. I can change my name back to Bank Leven and show my allegiance to Your Excellency.
I admit that the family has declined, this is an unchangeable fact. But as long as I am still there, the family will not perish, and there will be a day when it will re-emerge. "
Hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng uttered a long tone of "Oh...", "The family power has declined, so you are betting on both ends? Fels is attached to the Bouche family, and you ran to me. "
"Yes." Old Bank looked very calm, without any shame.
"You came to me, did you discuss with Phils?"
"No. But he will understand me."
"Do you think I can beat the Butcher family?"
"On the contrary, I felt that the Bouche family's win was more than 90%. But after looking at the Horton family's tragedy, I felt that the Bouche family's win was down to 70%.
But this is not important, what is important is how the family I belong to survive. "
"So you still think I will be defeated?"
"The Butcher family is too strong, and the force that can be mobilized is far greater than Coldwind City. But at best they will drive Lord Hugo back to the Black Forest. If you want to escape, they can't help it."
Ha..., I ran to Lao Tzu to have a meal, and I actually felt that Lao Tzu would lose.
Zhou Qingfeng was amused. He asked again: "Since you are here, then I will release more than 80 prisoners of the Holden family?"
Old Bank entered the role very quickly, and he immediately objected, "No. If there are prisoners, you can squeeze more oil and water from the Holden family.
After nothing can be squeezed out, all the prisoners will be killed, absolutely not allowed to be released. By then, the Holden family will either decline or surrender. Broken Bridge City is at your fingertips. "
Zhou Qingfeng shuddered after hearing this, and secretly cried out in his heart: "Fuck, it's still your old aristocrats who are ruthless, their hearts are too dark, knock the bones and suck the marrow!"
