Chapter 0289 tracing each other
Leaving the temple of the goddess of winter Ouler, Little Powell returned to the street. The excitement of being appreciated by the superiors quickly dissipated. He stood on the street and pondered without saying a word, thinking repeatedly in his heart how to investigate the whereabouts of Victor Hugo.
According to the information provided by the old wizard Bank, the black market transactions in Banshee Castle have been particularly popular recently. A large number of supplies are being transported out of the city, and this behavior has even been semi-public because there are many powerful people in the city behind it.
The open behavior of investing in the enemy is not subject to any restrictions. This is what Louis Philes fears the most. Powell Jr. was also shocked after understanding the transportation volume and capital flow of black market transactions.
Victor Hugo is really a big deal. Just by spending money, he smashed a big hole in the Banshee Castle with a soul crystal as a support, and provided transportation channels with succubus. Zhou Qingfeng can easily transport various local specialties that were priced in the north to the south.
This change of hands is several times the huge profit.
In Powell's view, the purchase of Northland specialties at a premium of 50% was like bankrupt suicide. But Zhou Qingfeng not only did not lose money but also made a big profit. In turn, he bought the food cloth that the merchant had finally transported to the Banshee Castle at several times the price.
It seemed that Zhou Qingfeng did not make any money, but only the powerful people in Banshee Castle made a fortune. However, the Fierce family did not get any profit, but instead lost blood. This was enough to make Louis Fierce hate him to the core.
Louis Fiers is currently the new master who is about to take office. Out of caution, he did not force the old powerful people in Banshee Castle to stop trading with Zhou Qingfeng. Even if he ordered, it would be useless. Blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents, which will only intensify the conflict.
Powell was ordered to investigate and did not dare to break into the black market to catch people. He could only silently go back to his residence along the street and discuss with his brothers who were also in trouble.
Some people have an idea to contact Zhou Qingfeng's subordinates from the black market, some people suggest tracking the transportation convoy, and some people want to accept the recruitment and get involved in the ranks of students. But these ideas were rejected by Powell Jr.
"You don't understand Victor Hugo's terror. He has a mental ability called "Holy Light" that can easily identify people with dissent. When I joined the crusade team, a guy named Fabro repeatedly reminded him."
Powell, a little boy, talked about his experience of fighting with Zhou Qingfeng many times, and his unlucky deeds of repeated defeats. His brothers suddenly fell silent and remembered the moment when his "dad" was sprayed to death by Long Jiu.
"We will definitely not win when facing the enemy head-on. But we just need to find Victor Hugo." Little Powell knew what they were thinking when he saw the expressions of his brothers. "Don't be so afraid, we really can't use us."
"What should we do if we want to find Victor Hugo without disturbing him?" asked a brother.
Powell, a little boy, has been thinking hard for a long time, trying to recall the half month he had served Zhou Qingfeng as a sparring training. In the end, he had only one idea, "Maybe we can only find our goals through our living habits."
"What kind of life habits?"
"Victor Hugo's special aristocratic habits are something I have never seen in others. For example, he is too clean, very picky about food, and too kind to the pariah."
The brothers looked at each other, not knowing how to find a target that meets these requirements.
Powell, a young man, is now a formal knight, and his status has improved to hate Zhou Qingfeng who knows his background even more. "That guy is kind to the untouchables, maybe we can use it. Check if there is any such thing 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 to the Banshee Castle from the logging farm outside the city. He stood on the wall at the top of the city in the dark again, staring at a tall tower not far away.
Behind Zhou Qingfeng is Adrian. This clown relies on sufficient funds to be the leader of the City Fox and the Rat in the Banshee Castle. He even has a way to collude with the personnel in the City Lord's Mansion to directly spy on the confidential information of the Pheles family.
"It is actually not difficult to find out the news in the city. The Fierce family cannot take care of everyone under their command. There are a large number of servants who are willing to provide some daily experiences in exchange for pocket money of one or two silver coins."
Adrian said he was proud of his coming, and Zhou Qingfeng assigned tasks were all the things he was best at. He himself was as easy as water, "I found some old servants of the Pheles family, and their memories of the past are very interesting."
The average life expectancy in the Northland is low, and most ordinary people cannot live to thirty years old. However, Adrian found an old chef who lived to more than 60 years old, served three generations of heads of the Fierce family, and even witnessed the demon invasion that year.
"That old chef has no worries about food and drink, and he is still quite healthy now. He said that the human coalition forces resisted the invasion of the demons and built seventeen large forts in the north. After the war, these forts were gradually converted into seventeen cities in the north.
The demon army was driven back to the abyss, but there were still many demons and their descendants scattered and hidden, and someone had to stay to guard and clean up. The first generation of the Fiers family was a legendary hero left behind that year.
The guards left behind were chasing the demons and their descendants at the beginning. But when peace came and the pressure was eliminated, the human coalition was disbanded. Many things changed, even reversed."
Adrian shrugged and stopped, "The old chef refused to tell me what happened. When he was asked anxiously, he scolded the people of several southern principalities for being treasonous, and said he wanted to know the secret, so he asked me to ask Bank."
There is only one of the top leaders of Banshee Castle named Bank.
There were a little bonfire on the streets of the city, and in the faint light, you could see a tall tower standing in the center of the city. It was the earliest building of Banshee Castle, a wizard tower. Zhou Qingfeng once stood under the tower on the first day he arrived here.
Adrian looked forward with Zhou Qingfeng's gaze and asked in a low voice: "His Excellency Hugo, you shouldn't really go to Bank, who is known as the strongest wizard in the North, right? He was a member of the human coalition back then and was the only legend in the North that was still alive."
In order to resist the demon army, humans gathered almost half of Feiron's elite combat power, and it was definitely not the weak who could survive until the end of the war.
Bank has a lot of names, and it is definitely not a false reputation. It is really difficult to break into the Wizard Tower he guards.
Zhou Qingfeng turned his head back. The half-length girl's voice came from the shadow, "Don't look at me. I ran around with you the last time, but I almost died when I met the descendants of the evil insects. This time I won't follow you to make trouble."
Zhou Qingfeng said "yes" without any action. He was not that stupid, and directly challenged a legendary wizard's wizard's tower, which was no different from seeking death. The investigation of the Iron Curtain could only come to an end.
But based on their own clues, the old wizard who was active during the devil's invasion is likely to know something. It's just that Zhou Qingfeng's rank is too big, and he is afraid that he will be unable to deal with the other party for a while.
"Forget it, I've already gained a lot since I found it." Zhou Qingfeng thought about it and decided to give up the idea of taking risks. The green crystals he had accumulated before were exhausted through repeated tossing, and the modification of time-travel rules also cut off the channels for easy access. This led to him losing his important killer weapon.
"Sophia, inform us that the personnel at Banshee Castle are ready to evacuate. We will stop when we see it. It is time to provoke the entire Northland war." Zhou Qingfeng turned around and jumped off the city wall. Adrian and Kelly also left.
At this time, Professor Zheng, who had been living in Zhou Qingfeng's mind for nearly a month, suddenly spoke out: "Xiao Zhou, I have roughly browsed the knowledge content in your "Gate of True Knowledge" and listed a research plan.
This is a long process, requiring a lot of patience and dedication. The first step is that I will transform myself into a ghost and continue to work hard for the next few years or decades to eventually become a lich.”
