By the way, Zhou Ming’s main purpose of buying the elf Angelique Tikka was just to learn the elf language?

of course not.

This is just one of the purposes.

He wanted to get more information about the elves from her.

Otherwise, his 290,000 gold coins would not be cost-effective.

But if you want to get more information, you need to gain her trust.

Elves are generally wary of humans, and even hate them to the extreme. How can they easily trust humans?

Zhou Ming also saw her intention to escape through her sneaky behavior every day, but he did not restrict or suppress her.

Instead, it gave her more freedom.

Even buy weapons for her.

He said "You can leave anytime you want" which surprised her.

The purpose of these actions is of course to hope that she will stay.

Hope she stays for a long time.

At least give him enough "information" before leaving.

What if Zhou Ming's strategy fails and the opponent recovers his strength and then runs away immediately?

Zhou Ming could only admit defeat, and he had reminded her that in the human world, as soon as her identity was exposed, there would be an endless pursuit. If she was confident that she had the ability to escape and return to the Elf Forest, Zhou Ming would Naru wouldn't stop him.

I can only admit that I have suffered a little loss.

After all, everything happens with different probabilities, and Zhou Ming is not 100% sure that he will be able to keep her.

In addition, after preparing a weapon for Angelique Tikka, it didn’t take long before it came in handy that night.

Zhou Ming was also lucky enough to witness the amazing archery skills of the elves.

There are no missed arrows.

crack shot.

Of the 20 assassins, 15 died under her arrows.

She is like a deadly night hunter, killing her opponents like mowing grass.

You must know that the hearing of elves is much better than that of humans, and their eyesight is much better than humans under the dim moonlight.

Coupled with precise archery skills.

Each assassin screamed and covered his eyes, or fell down while squeezing his neck.

"Don't kill them all, leave some alive. I'll ask who is behind this."

At the last moment, Zhou Ming grabbed Tika and told her not to kill everyone.

Tikka then aimed at the legs of the assassins and shot two of them disabled.

Three more assassins were killed by Gazef who was guarding the first floor. It took a lot of effort on his part, and there were still a few tricks on them.

Among these assassins, the strongest one is just an intermediate swordsman.

So Gazef was very dissatisfied with his performance.

"It's not bad, Gazef, you're new to the game, there's still room for improvement."

When passing by the first floor, Zhou Ming comforted him.

In the front yard.

The two living assassins were caught together and knelt side by side in front of Zhou Ming.

"Master, have mercy on me, Master, please have mercy on me!"

"Master, I'm just passing by, I'm just passing by!"

Looking at the two assassins who were kowtowing, Zhou Ming roughly guessed who sent this group of people.

And he wasn't too surprised that the assassin came to kill him.

Because in his many dungeon experiences, as long as he became a little famous, assassins sent by various forces would come sooner or later.

He encountered countless assassinations.

He certainly wasn't unprepared.

For example, he set up hundreds of warning traps in the yard and attack traps in the house.

I also have two very alert black dogs.

So as soon as this group of unprofessional assassins entered the courtyard, they were startled by all kinds of noises.

They simply gave up sneaking, shouted and rushed over. After killing the two black dogs, they started smashing the doors and windows crazily.

At this time, Elf Tika's bows and arrows also began to be named one by one.

A total of five minutes had passed until the last two survivors knelt in front of Zhou Ming.

"Did Prince Luther send you here?"

Zhou Ming asked. At this stage, the only person who wants to kill him most is probably Prince Luther.

"Yes, yes, His Highness gave us 5,000 gold coins and asked our Purgatory Gang to do this..."

"Yes, yes, it was Prince Luther who sent us to do this. We were all instructed..."

The two assassins struggled to confess, explaining everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

Zhou Ming snorted coldly. It took him half a month to find out where he lived. He spent money that couldn't even hire a high-level assassin, and called a bunch of gangsters to come over and take his life. ...Of course only that idiot could do such a stupid thing.

“￥%￥%…”

A spell was chanted in his mouth.

A ball of fire appeared on Zhou Ming's left and right hands.

The two assassins kneeling on the ground seemed to realize something, shouted, turned around and fled away.

But they were hit by arrows in their legs and couldn't run fast at all. They only ran two meters when they were overtaken by two fireballs.

"ah!"

"ah!!"

Amidst the two shrill screams and the fierce flames, they quickly turned into two balls of ashes.

"Sir, we're being targeted by some big shots. We should probably consider moving somewhere."

Gazef came over and offered his suggestion.

Zhou Ming shook his head and asked the female elf on the side: "Tika, do you think we need to move?"

"I don't care, it's just some trash fish. It doesn't matter how many come."

The female elf crossed her arms and said.

However, looking at the shivering Rabbit Maid hugging each other, and Henry's eyes full of horror after seeing the corpses on the ground, Zhou Ming said helplessly: "This apartment is too small, it seems that we need to find a bigger place. .”

It would be better to find a castle with higher walls.

Of course, it was not that he was afraid, but that Zhou Ming predicted that in the near future, there would be more and more assassins, assassins, kidnappers and the like sent by various forces. The apartment's defense was insufficient. It’s impossible to be at home every day.

For the safety of those around you, it’s better to be safe.

What about Prince Luther?

This idiot dares to send someone to assassinate him. How should Zhou Ming respond?

How to take revenge and go back?

Should this idiot be killed?

Shaked his head.

If you want to kill him, Zhou Ming can think of more than 10 ways to take the other person's life.

However, he is the prince, the first heir to the kingdom, and the queen's doting son. If he does this, he may strain his relationship with the royal family.

Lead to many bad consequences.

Zhou Ming decided to keep the account for the time being, then find the old fox Roberts and report the matter to him.

In the principal's office.

After listening to what Zhou Ming said, the old fox's face turned livid and his whole body trembled.

"Bang~"

He hammered the table hard and said angrily: "This bastard, I asked James to invalidate his inheritance rights, but he refused to do so!"

"If the kingdom is given into his hands, this kingdom will surely be destroyed!"

Zhou Ming took out his ears with his hands and asked:

"In another half a year, the pharmaceutical factory will be built. By then, the output of pharmaceuticals can reach more than 10,000 bottles per day, enough to meet the needs of dozens of kingdoms. It can earn hundreds of millions of gold coins every year. The Yadud royal family will become a nearby The richest royal family among dozens of kingdoms.”

"This is all thanks to you and His Majesty the King."

"But I want to ask, if His Majesty the King leaves and Luther becomes King, what will he think of all the achievements you have worked so hard for?"

"I'm afraid he will spend even more crazily, right?"

"As for me, he doesn't have to send killers here anymore. The Knights of the Kingdom will follow his orders and come to take my life."

"In order to survive, I have no choice but to flee to a foreign country."

Zhou Ming spread his hands.

"Bang~!"

The old fox pounded the table again.

"That's enough. Stop talking. James and I will find a way to solve this problem."

The old fox went to the palace.

Had a discussion with King James.

King James was naturally furious. He smashed several things in anger and said, "You traitor, you traitor!"

"If I had known this, I shouldn't have given birth to him in the first place!"

The old fox said: "It's better to destroy him quickly. If we leave the kingdom in his hands, no matter how good we do, it will be useless!"

King James was even more excited: "Do you think I don't want to abolish him? I have wanted to abolish him a long time ago!"

"But...but...hey!"

He sighed helplessly, the resistance to destroying that traitor was too great!

The ministers disagreed.

The nobles disagreed.

The queen also disagreed.

Even though everyone knew he was an idiot, no one proposed to abolish him.

He even thinks that the more idiotic he is, the better. If he meets a shrewd king, will those people still have a good life?

If the prince is smart and talented, they will feel that this is a threat and will either send assassins to kill him or spread rumors to slander him and ask the king to depose him.

Like King James himself, when he was still the prince, he only showed a little talent and was assassinated twice. Later, he relied on pretending to be mediocre before he sat on the throne smoothly... The current Yadud Kingdom wants to be a Good king, so difficult!

On the contrary, those incompetent and foolish kings were generally welcomed by those people.

It can be seen from this that the Yadud Kingdom is indeed approaching a hopeless point.

Of course, this also has factors in the "Succession Law". No matter how stupid and mediocre it is, the eldest son has the indisputable right to inherit, and no noble can change it.

Unless the eldest son commits an unforgivable mistake or dies unfortunately, the inheritance rights will not fall to other heirs.

In recent years, King James has felt that his health is getting worse and worse.

The heir's inferiority made him sleepless at night and worried too much.

I even had terrible thoughts many times.

but……

There was really nothing he could do.

For example, in the assassination incident that happened to Leylin, he just called Prince Luther over, cursed him, and then grounded him for three months.

But given the queen's doting character, he would be released within a month at most.

…

Zhou Ming on the other side.

Through some channels, he spent 50,000 gold coins to buy a castle from a down-and-out gambling viscount.

The castle is about 5 kilometers away from the royal capital and is located on a low hill in the north of the city. The building covers an area of ​​about 2 acres. The city wall is 28 meters high. Including the basement, it has six floors and 55 rooms, which is enough for hundreds of people to live inside.

In addition, the castle also comes with a territory of about a hundred acres, which can be used to plant some flowers and grass, or open two vegetable plots. In short, it can be used as you like.

As for the name of this castle, Zhou Ming thought about it and chose the name "Medicine Bottle Castle".

Because the shape of this castle really looks like an upright medicine bottle.

He is also a pharmacist.

The Medicine Bottle Castle couldn’t be more appropriate.

It took another day to move, and on March 1st, Zhou Ming and the others moved into this castle.
