After Tikka and Gazef left.

Medicine Bottle Castle suddenly lost two powerful combat forces.

Zhou Ming's cultivation level has only recently broken through to the level of an intermediate magician. It is not a big problem to deal with ordinary characters, but it will be a bit tricky if he encounters more powerful characters.

Of course, Zhou Ming was relatively confident in his escape skills, and he ensured that his safety would not be a big problem.

But in the Medicine Bottle Castle, there are also Henry, four rabbit maids, and two warriors with average martial arts skills.

It is impossible for Zhou Ming to take care of these troublemakers in a critical moment.

So he made some arrangements.

Henry, who had recently successfully sensed magical elements and became a trainee magician, Zhou Ming arranged for him to enter the Brno Magic School and live in an apartment within the school. He asked the old fox Roberts to help take care of him. He also said hello to Catherine, the head teacher of Class 3, I hope she can take care of Henry a little bit (Henry entered Class 3).

"No problem, I will take good care of him."

Catherine patted Henry on the head and gave Zhou Ming a soft look.

"That's troublesome for you, teacher."

Zhou Ming nodded. This is the reason why Teacher Catherine is so popular. She is kind-hearted and is always willing to help some students in need without asking for anything in return.

Zhou Ming had nothing to repay Teacher Catherine for her help. He could only give her dozens or hundreds of bottles of the magic potions he had prepared, hoping that she would be promoted to a great magician as soon as possible.

As for Henry, when he thought about living in this school in the future, he was a little looking forward to it, but also a little disappointed.

The expectation is that I can go to school and study with many peers, which is aspirational.

What was disappointing was that the school did not have the same freedom as the castle, there was no rabbit maid, and the teacher was no longer around... Losing these cares made him feel a little panicked.

Fortunately, Henry's sister Lina lived in a high-end community not far from the school. Zhou Ming found her and told her about Henry's situation.

"Thank you, sir. I will go to school often to see Henry. If he is disobedient, I will teach him a lesson!"

Lina said in front of her. At this moment, she was wearing a white dress, with an upper-class lady hairstyle, half of her calves were exposed, and on top of her pink high-heeled shoes was a pair of flesh-colored stockings that were close to her skin... From top to bottom, she exuded a suffocating feminine look. charm.

Every time Zhou Ming meets him for the first time, he will be momentarily absent-minded.

The outfit she wore was basically the result of Zhou Ming taking out the design drawings, and then she led the dressmakers to transform them into real objects in the clothing store with pairs of skillful hands.

As for the silk stockings on her legs, Zhou Ming originally thought it was impossible to make them, but after trying dozens of materials, she succeeded!

Today, Lina is very famous among the ladies of the Royal Capital. Every time she attends a party, she will become the center of attention. After two or three days, the ladies of the Royal Capital will focus on her clothes. Set off a fashion trend.

As the chief designer of "Menglan Clothing", she is the first choice for countless ladies to customize their clothing...even if the price is high.

Coupled with her small fortune, the nobles who took a fancy to her and pursued her at least had a reinforced company, and there were even two earls among them.

Lina also turned 17 this year, reaching the best age for marriage. As long as she nodded, she could immediately join the upper class and even become a countess.

Zhou Ming also said in this regard: She has the right to choose freely. If she has someone she likes, she can be with that person, and Zhou Ming will give him his blessing.

but……

Lina shook her head. She would not consider the subject of her brother Henry until he became a noble magician.

Will not accept anyone's pursuit.

There is no one she likes in her heart, except...

Hearing this, Zhou Ming said nothing more. Whether Lina planned to marry early or late, it was her personal freedom. He had no reason to interfere. Anyway, everything happened as it happened.

But he didn't see the sad light flashing in Lina's eyes.

Is there no possibility between us?

Does my beauty really have no attraction for you?

What should I do to catch up with you and gain the qualification to be liked by you?

These questions popped up in Lina's mind, and she felt a hint of stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat.

"I must make greater achievements, make more money, and let you see my abilities!"

good.

Now Lina is only focused on making money and proving herself.

Her ultimate goal is to make him appreciate her, make him look at her equally, and...make him fall in love with her in front of the man who occupies her inner position.

If Zhou Ming knew this brain circuit in Lina's mind, he would probably be surprised.

"You make good results, and then your sweetheart will fall in love with you... There is this kind of derivation logic between these two things, this..."

This logic is too powerful.

…

A few more days passed.

Zhou Ming went to the palace.

I plan to ask King James to borrow two masters to protect the safety of Medicine Bottle Castle.

Or protect yourself.

good.

Zhou Ming needs one or two powerful bodyguards to follow him to protect his safety.

Because he has many things to do, such as setting up a bank, researching magic potions, meditating and practicing, and other things, it is impossible for him to allocate a lot of energy to deal with various conspiracies and dealing with various hostile forces.

For example, the "family extermination case" that caused a sensation in the royal capital two days ago. The incoming financial controller of the kingdom, Old Ford, and his family were carrying a large amount of treasure and preparing to return to the countryside to fiefdom. On the way, they were killed by someone unknown. Net, the treasure was swept away, and I don’t know who did it.

At the palace meeting, someone suspected that Zhou Ming did it and asked the king to investigate him. It was difficult to explain clearly in the face of such dirty water. Zhou Ming would not allow others to search his castle to see 8 million treasures. Is it hiding in his castle? That would be too passive.

Zhou Ming responded directly: "I prepare tens of thousands of bottles of magic potions in one day, worth tens of millions of gold coins. Why do I need to steal other people's money, and why would I do such a useless thing? If someone can even do this Even if he believes the obvious frame-up, all I can say is that he is an idiot!"

But the other party was reluctant and sneered: "Lei Lin, are you feeling guilty? Would you be so angry if you weren't feeling guilty?"

Zhou Ming stared at him and said: "Are you from the Pinos family? Very good. From today on, I will not pay you a penny of your salary, and Dilo Bank will not allow the Pinos family to After investing in shares and expanding the production scale of the pharmaceutical production plant, the Pinos family will be restricted from the list of distributors. From now on, the Pinos family, don’t even think about making a penny from me!”

The other party immediately became speechless and opened his mouth not knowing what to say. The officials who planned to help him and add insult to injury to Zhou Ming also took half a step back and shut their mouths obediently.

King James also said a few good words to Zhou Ming and scolded Earl Pinos.

good!

This is the power of money, it can silence the most stubborn people.

As for the new affairs of the bank, all the nobles in the royal capital who had some information channels knew what it meant after learning a few details about the establishment of the bank, and they all considered taking a piece of the pie.

Especially after the bank's original shares totaling 10 million gold coins went on sale, all were sold out in less than ten minutes.

Among them, the royal family purchased 5 million.

Zhou Ming purchased 3 million.

The remaining 2 million was simply not enough for other nobles.

Everyone is looking forward to the launch of the second batch of crowdfunding stocks with a total of 20 million gold coins, and they are gearing up to buy some.

Now the Pinos family has suddenly been disqualified from purchasing shares, and it is impossible to obtain the agency rights for the magic potion. This loss is really huge.

Of course there will be some nobles who are privately dissatisfied with Zhou Ming's tyranny, but they still dare not publicly contradict him and offend Mr. God of Wealth. Wouldn't that be cutting off his own path to wealth?

Therefore, Zhou Ming got rid of the involvement in the "annihilation case" of the old Ford family.

Of course, if Zhou Ming wants to completely prove his innocence, he'd better set up a case-solving team and lead people to solve the case and silence all the doubters.

but……

He really doesn't have that time.

He still has a lot of business to attend to.

At the same time, he is also sure that as the things he does get bigger and bigger, there will only be more and more open and covert attacks in the future. He needs to find two powerful bodyguards to build a line of defense.

Filling the defense vacuum left after Elf Tika and Warrior Captain Gazef left.

This kind of human resources is naturally only available on the king's side.

After discussing this matter with the king, the old king agreed readily: "Okay, I will arrange two powerful people for you to protect your safety."

Today Zhou Ming came to the palace to pick someone up.

"Pop!"

King James clapped his hands twice, and two tall and handsome figures walked in from the side door at the back of the palace.

He wears silver helmet and bright armor, holding a long sword in his hand.

The face is exquisite and the steps are vigorous.

She has a graceful figure and long hair shawl.

Two female warriors dressed as knights stood in front of Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming was shocked: Two women?

After spotting one of the familiar faces, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Princess Xivenis? This..."

The princess acts as a bodyguard for herself?

Isn't this ridiculous?

King James was sitting on the throne, his old face smiling like a chrysanthemum.

He felt bursts of pride in his heart, and said secretly: Boy, I even spent my money this time, so I don’t believe I can’t trap you!
