White Demon Priest?
Rudolph stared at Zachary, making Zachary's heart flutter. Did the charm work? When Zachary wanted to take another step forward, he suddenly heard Rudolph the Crucible say, "Huh?"
Zachary was so scared that he dared not move.
Rudolph didn't expect that he would hear Kedrick's information from this intelligence leader. What made him even more excited was that he knew the dynamics of a high-level White Demon Priest, and a high-level White Demon Priest who had left the parish.
If he was in the parish of the White Demon Church, Rudolph would never dare to take action against a level 5 White Demon Priest. Around the temple, the White Demon Priest can quickly communicate with the evil god. The status of a level 5 White Demon Priest is not low. The parish he manages can be as large as a county in the northern continent.
If Rudolph is noticed by the evil god White Demon, no matter how many ways he has to save his life, he may die. He still remembered that the evil god looked at him painfully before, and that look almost killed Rudolph.
If a Level 6 White Demon Priest leads the team, then he must have several Level 5 White Demon Priests under him. These tempting and fragrant priests are floating on the sea and fighting with the Elba Royal Navy.
"Dear Zachary, how is the war situation? Is the White Demon Church at a disadvantage? Is the Royal Navy strong? I mean, I am very worried about my friend Kedrick. If I rush over now, will the naval battle end?"
"The Royal Navy of the Elba Royal Family is at a disadvantage. The Royal Navy is fighting the Constitutional Navy of the Alchemy Council on the Western Front and the Navy of the White Demon Church on the Eastern Front. I heard that they have abandoned the outer islands and huddled near the coastline."
"The Royal Navy is at a disadvantage... It's really distressing. Dear intelligence leader, the news you brought is very useful."
Seeing the steward's smile like spring breeze, Zachary also changed to a slightly drunk expression. The word "dear" made him so useful: "Respected steward, your loyal subordinates are honored to see your lovely and angry side!"
The flesh on Rudolph's face jumped, and this Zachary habitually charmed Rudolph.
If it was a female silver snake who charmed him, then Rudolph's will was so weak that he was charmed as soon as he closed his eyes. He not only had Abigail, but also Aries pupil fire. Being charmed was just a show, and it didn't do much substantial harm to him.
But a male silver snake charmed him, so he had to learn how to go the crooked way? Just thinking about it made Rudolf want to slap himself.
"Come on, my intelligence chief, let's have some afternoon tea to wake up. It's not good to take a nap for too long, as it will make you more tired the more you sleep."
Rudolf resisted the urge to slap the silver snake to death, and personally brewed Ceylon black tea for Zachary.
Zachary's eyes widened, and he didn't miss any of Rudolf the Crucible's subtle movements. Although Rudolf the Crucible's nickname sounds like a fire wizard, the intelligence of the Wizard Association and the Carolingian Kingdom both indicate that Rudolf the Crucible is a water-type Scorpio wizard.
Don't eat anything handed over by the Scorpio wizard, because every apple of theirs may be a poisoned apple.
After brewing the tea, Zachary didn't find any small movements of Rudolph the Crucible, and didn't know when Rudolph poisoned it, but both sides knew that there must be a deadly poison in this cup of tea.
Zachary picked up the teacup and carefully glanced at Rudolph through the hot steam, but was filled with tears by the hot steam.
He was once extremely confident that he could be like a fish in water anywhere. Even though he knew that the owner of Red Beard Island had changed, he chose to come back very confidently. But he didn't expect that the new owner of Red Beard Island was so difficult to deal with. Just a housekeeper, a wanted wizard, made him unable to resist, and all his means were ineffective. He hadn't seen the real owner of the island yet, and didn't know how difficult the real owner was.
At this time, Zachary was forced to drink tea by Rudolph the Crucible. There was a smile on his face, but his heart was extremely tormented.
Scorpio Wizard's tea... What's the difference between drinking it and seeking death? This is not a cup of hot black tea, it's a cup of poison, a cup of poison that can burn through the stomach and intestines. But if you don't drink it, you will really die on the spot.
Zachary had thousands of thoughts in his mind, and he regretted returning to Red Beard Island this time. When he saw the slightly narrowed eyes of Rudolph the Crucible, he did not hesitate at all, and drank the tea in one gulp, regardless of the boiling heat.
After taking a sip of tea, Zachary saw that Rudolph the Crucible opposite him immediately relaxed.
What was Zachary expecting? Was he expecting that the tea served by the Scorpio Wizard was not poisonous?
"Drink my tea, and you will be mine from now on."
This sentence was ambiguous, and Rudolph hurriedly explained: "Bah, that's not what I meant. I mean that from now on you will be my loyal subordinate. I will have absolute trust in my subordinates. You will still be the intelligence leader of Red Beard Island in the future, and you will do what you did before."
Rudolph also took a sip of the tea, but was scalded. He just saw the speed at which Zachary drank the tea and thought that the tea had cooled down: "Look, I also drank the tea, there is nothing wrong with this tea, don't worry."
Zachary nodded quickly, not worrying, not daring to worry.
Rudolf continued:
"Regarding what you just said about Kedrick, since you are my confidant now... Bah, that's not what I meant. I'm not hinting at you with my body language. I'm saying that you are my subordinate now. You need to know that Kedrick is my friend, and he is fighting the White Demon Church. How can I not help him?
Do you know the specific location of the naval battle?"
Zachary really didn't take Kedrick seriously before. The heir of the Earl of Golden Anchor was not the focus of his intelligence gathering: "I only know a general sea area. I will tell you the specific location as soon as possible, Lord General."
"Okay, there is no time to lose. You don't know me, but when you get to know me, you will know that I am an enthusiastic and good person. I can't wait to send out ships to help my friends. Master Kedrick must need me very much, and I must rescue my friends from the dire straits!"
Level 5 White Demon Priest Relics, here I come!
Rudolph pressed the button on the table, and a faint bell rang outside the door. Not long after, Salmon, the former chief engineer on the Bauhinia, entered Rudolph's office.
Salmon's office was next to Rudolph's. Now Salmon is the port manager of Redbeard Island.
"Manager Salmon, go and inform the port that the three flagships, the Red Scimitar, the Green Skull and the Bauhinia, should prepare for the voyage immediately!"
Salmon nodded, without saying anything more, and went to the port to arrange the supplies for the three ships.
Now Salmon will execute any order from Rudolph, because this voyage is so dreamy. He was originally an unemployed level 3 alchemist in Kordor Port, and was good at repairing steam turbines. After joining the Bauhinia, he was chased and intercepted by the wizards, hiding everywhere all the way to the east. Unexpectedly, he has become the general manager of a large port.
When he was a crew member, he was always made difficult by the people in the port when he entered the port. He also thought that one day he would become the general manager of the port, and he must make things more difficult for him.
But Salmon only dared to think so. Mr. Rudolph was smiling all day long, and Mr. Cooper found a group of actors from somewhere to watch opera all day long. These two people seemed to be doing nothing every day, but the cemetery outside the city would not lie. In just a few days, hundreds of graves without tombstones appeared in the cemetery.
When the crew first entered the pirate castle, they were very worried that the pirates would harm them, but a few days later, as the number of pirates decreased sharply, the surviving pirates were as docile as rabbits.
The original owner of this island, the legendary pirate Scimitar Red Beard, is now in Mr. Cooper's collection. Only the people on the Bauhinia know that the current nominal owner of Red Beard Island, Green Skull, is actually also in Mr. Cooper's collection.
In the words of Mr. Rudolph, Cooper only knows how to bully old pirates who have lost their power. But their crews all understand that even if they are outdated pirates, they are big pirates who once roamed the Saragu Sea.
As Rudolph's confidant, intelligence chief Zachary couldn't help asking: "My master, Red Beard Island has just changed its owner. The three flagships have left Red Beard Island. Will there be any safety hazards?"
Rudolph glanced at Zachary. He was a little uncomfortable with the title of "master": "It doesn't matter. I'll work overtime these two days and kill all those who might rebel, so there's no need to worry about safety hazards. I'm a professional in troubleshooting hidden dangers." Rudolph did not shy away from Zachary. He took out a booklet. This booklet was the roster of the Red Beard Pirates. Red Beard had a check mark. Among the rest, those who were collected were checked, and those who were cleaned and buried in the cemetery were marked with red crosses.
Rudolph and Cooper divided the dead pirates equally. Half became Cooper's collection, and the other half was taken away by Rudolph. The hard work of the past few days has been fruitful. The progress of Gemini has reached 8/17.
The first half of the entire booklet, that is, the pirates who ranked at the top, are either checked or crossed, densely packed.
"Oh, I found it." Rudolph put his finger on Zachary's name: "You are ranked so high, why didn't I find you? It turns out that you, as the intelligence leader, are not on Red Beard Island. The title of leader is too bandit-like. We are a legal and compliant civilized company. From now on, your position is the intelligence director. Turn over a new leaf. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Zachary was very fortunate that there was nothing after his name, so it was a bit conspicuous.
Rudolph frowned and thought:
"No one knows Silver Snake better than me. Silver Snake is indeed very precious.
It's a pity to make you into Green Skeleton's collection. Although those corpses look vivid, they are far from real living people and cannot handle complicated things.
It's a pity to take your remains alive. Before you get the antidote, you are still very obedient..."
"My master! I will never seek the antidote! This is not the poison you gave me, it is the gift you gave me! It is the closest connection between you and me! It is the bond you give me that is difficult to break!" Zachary's cold sweat flowed down, and he trembled with fear.
When Zachary looked at Rudolph with a pitiful look, Rudolph also saw the tears swirling in Zachary's eyes.
"If you use charm on me again, I will take your relics alive!"
"Oh, my master, I didn't mean to do that. This is my habit. It's been a bad habit for many years and it's not easy to change."
Rudolf looked down at the booklet, and finally hesitated and drew a circle behind Zachary: "I value your ability very much. Continue to serve me."
"Yes, my master, please give orders to your servants at any time and serve you at any time."
"Don't bite your lips, don't open your mouth and stick out your tongue. It's not that kind of service. I really want to kill you!"
"Okay, master."
Zachary wondered again and again why his charm didn't work at all. Even a level 5 master and apprentice had been turned gay by him. What kind of magic weapon is in the furnace in front of him that can be completely immune to charm?
Rudolf looked at Zachary and his heart ached. It was really painful. Every time he used a weak pupil fire to wash away the charm, it made him very uncomfortable. But in order to pretend, Rudolf endured this pain.
"Since you are the intelligence chief, you can take a look at the following pirate leaders, which one is the most heinous and which one has killed the most people."
Zachary looked at the list and found that the new owner of Red Beard Island had already eliminated more than half of the pirate leaders. He pointed at the names of five people among the remaining ones.
Rudolph didn't say much and rang another bell. Not long after, Red Beard walked in.
Seeing Red Beard again, Zachary's face was filled with regret. The Red Beard in front of him was obviously abnormal. He looked a little old, and now he was even more dull.
"Go and eliminate these people."
Red Beard looked at the list, nodded, and walked out.
Zachary didn't look at Red Beard's back, but asked carefully: "My master, aren't you afraid that I will take revenge on you? You haven't verified whether these people are good or bad. Of course, I will never lie to you, but what if I just have a grudge against these people?"
"It's okay. Even the most fair judge can make mistakes. How unjust can the pirate leader be? He will die." Rudolph said indifferently: "Compared with the unjust killing of a few pirate leaders, I am more worried about whether there are people worse than beasts among these pirate leaders who are going to be let go."
"My master, the remaining few people are not extreme in character, so they can be kept."
"Oh, OK, I believe you. I also need some people to work for me. I can't kill them all, otherwise Redbeard Island will be difficult to operate."
Rudolph stood up and said, "Let's go, Zachary. I'm going to the port too, so I can see you off. Leave early and tell me the location of Master Kedrick."
Zachary followed Rudolph and observed the attitudes of other people in the castle towards Rudolph. When he came to a deserted place, he whispered, "My master, let the three flagships set off. Doesn't the mayor need to know about such a big thing?"
"His IQ is not enough to handle such a big thing."
Zachary wiped the sweat from his head and felt that he shouldn't have heard this. It's better to know less about the rifts between leaders.
The two came to the outside of the castle building and saw trucks of garbage being cleared out.
Rudolph couldn't help but complain: "Red Beard built a magnificent castle, and then turned it into a pigsty. How could there be such dirty people? It's been five days and the garbage hasn't been taken away yet."
Zachary said: "This is why I don't like going back to the castle."
Zachary's voice was resentful, as if countless sad things had happened here. If Rudolph were someone else, he would definitely be aroused with a strong desire to protect him.
But the next moment, Zachary suddenly felt the surroundings getting cold. He quickly adjusted his tone and said in a rough voice of a normal man:
"I hope to see a clean and bright castle next time I come back!"
Rudolph thought for a moment, then said: "Don't touch my woman. If you dare to look Yvonne in the face, I will take your relics alive."
Seeing the frost on the face of the furnace, Zachary hurriedly explained: "My master, I can only charm men, not women. You are wronging me for this."
"Really?"
"Absolutely true! Silver Snake has a unified hobby. No matter men or women, they only like men. It should be Miss Yvonne who is worried that you are too close to me, not you who are worried that Miss Yvonne is too close to me."
"Damn! Men are so miserable."
