When the Volcano, which was obviously larger than all the other ships, entered the pirate port, the pirates stopped and observed this huge pirate ship. Whose pirate ship was it? It was almost the same as the regular warships of the navy.
The Volcano only flew the Volcano flag, with a black background and a dark red volcano erupting an equally dark red mushroom cloud. The style was very simple.
This flag was the first time it cruised the ocean, and there were not many stories about this ship. Therefore, other pirates did not know the details of this ship. From the tall ironclad hull and the level 5 alchemical reinforcement array, it can be seen that the owner of this ship is not simple.
In order to avoid trouble, Rudolph and Cooper did not reveal their identities.
Two port managers on crutches climbed onto the Volcano to inspect the ship.
Mackenzie forced himself not to look at their crutches, but stared into their eyes and said, "Volcano, requesting supplies at your port, do it as soon as possible, don't drag it out."
Mackenzie's tone was very bad. You can't be polite to these pirates. The tougher you are, the faster you will get things done. Of course, toughness must be supported by strength. The name of the Green Skull, a pirate ship transformed from a huge warship, is enough to make other pirates retreat.
The two managers glanced around, trying to get information about the ship, but unfortunately, except for a few ordinary crew members on the deck, they found nothing.
The ship was docked, and it would take a day for the procedures and the transportation of supplies. Rudolph was ready to go to the port to take a look. He entered the pirate port wearing a hood.
This place is as dirty and messy as other pirate ports. Fists are the only order here. Several major pirates on the island have formed a balance of violent deterrence.
Rudolph was not interested in making friends with pirates here. What made him pay more attention was the customs of the Church of Pain here.
Many pain priests made specimens of their cut parts and hung them outside the shops. This was a sign of their identity. They could put them in jars, air-dried, soaked in oil, and any means of preservation could be used. Some people who gave up on themselves would hang a piece of bones.
The folk customs here were even more violent. People with broken legs on the road walked the most arrogantly. Whenever they bumped into their shoulders, they would inevitably quarrel or even fight.
After watching several fights, I found that the fights eventually turned into a protracted war. Neither side could hurt the other. Both sides were very resistant to fighting until they were tired and got up from the ground.
Not long after, Rudolph walked to the notice area in the center of the Pirate Island. The two photos in it surprised Rudolph a little.
As expected of the Church of the Evil God, the message was transmitted quickly. The temple quickly used the power similar to that of an oracle to transmit the message to all churches.
The portrait on the left was painted with a green skull. There was no doubt that this should be Cooper.
The portrait on the right was actually myself! It's a pity that a big red cross was drawn on my head, which affected my elegance.
If anyone on the ship that arrived at the port today wanted to move around, they almost all walked to the center of Pirate Island, so there were waves of people whispering in front of the notice board.
"Have you heard? This is a wanted order from the church."
"How could you not have heard? It is said that two level 5 priests of the Church of Holy Light died, and the Church of Artisans and the Church of Nothingness each lost a level 5 priest. They were all killed by these two people."
"Two? I think it's mainly Green Skull. I heard about the legend of Green Skull when I was a child. He was a big pirate that several churches could only imprison but not kill."
"I think so too. I wonder what ability this follower of Green Skull has to be on par with Green Skull."
Rudolph was not happy to hear this. He said in his hood: "No matter how powerful Green Skull is, he was twenty years ago. I think the young man next to him is the main force. The world belongs to young pirates, doesn't it?"
"You know shit! Every big pirate who has left his name has one or two ships of lives in his hands. The pirates I haven't heard of prove that he has no strength. Do you understand?"
One or two ships of names, what kind of unit of measurement is this...
Rudolph was also unwilling to accept: "Look, doesn't this young man also have a title, the Crucible, it sounds so domineering!"
"The Crucible? I've never heard of it. What unknown person came from a remote place? The title has nothing to do with the title itself. It depends on the strength. If the title of Emperor Mogwen is 'Little Branch', then 'Little Branch' represents the strongest fighting power. Do you understand?"
Rudolf was very angry. He couldn't argue with him, so he had to look at other notice boards in a depressed mood.
There were many pirates wearing hoods like Rudolf, so no one noticed him. He saw some public information on other notice boards.
A warning: An alchemist in the northern continent smuggled three airships. The big pirate squid launched a robbery against him, but failed to rob him and lost a pirate ship instead. A priest of the Church of Redemption (Pain) issued a warning through an intermediary. If there are pirates who covet the smuggled airships again, the Church of Redemption will mobilize the church's power to strike.
Looking at this warning, Rudolf was a little confused. The alchemist actually did business at the southernmost tip of the southern continent. It was really commendable.
A public notice: Recently, the Church of Redemption (Pain) is buying up coal on a large scale. Pirates, please be careful not to sell coal at a low price. If you raise the price together, anyone who sells less than 1 silver shield per ton will be attacked by other pirates.
A lot of intelligence is hidden in public information. Rudolf believes that the Church of Pain is preparing for war. The target is certainly not another church. The ore trade and the training of war airships are all aimed at the forces of the northern continent.
Among the many messages, Rudolf also saw a name that surprised him: The Iceberg will return to the Antarctic waters next week, reminding all pirates not to provoke the Antarctic wizard Nelson.
The Iceberg, a ship of the Ancient Sea Wizard Association, once chased Rudolf in the Saragu Sea. I didn't expect his reputation here to be so high. Just passing by can make other pirates retreat on their own initiative. He is much more famous than his furnace.
After the supply was completed, the Volcano left the port.
"Mr. Rudolph, if I'm not mistaken, you are very disappointed?"
Facing Mackenzie's question, Rudolph sighed: "I thought someone would come to cause trouble, but I didn't expect that the pirates were so quiet. Are all pirates so kind now?"
"Mr. Rudolph, if you want to go fishing, I suggest turning off the level 5 alchemical reinforcement array next time. The pirates will be much bolder than they are now."
The level 5 alchemical reinforcement array, given the nature of the alchemist, is ridiculously expensive. A set of level 5 alchemical reinforcement arrays is enough to buy a smaller single-cylinder steamship.
The pirates are just bad, not stupid. They can get a level 5 alchemical reinforcement array, and it's a warship-style ship. Obviously, they are not easy to mess with.
"Is that so? Is it too late to turn off the alchemical reinforcement array now?"
The Volcano slowly left the port, and it was obviously too late.
The floating ice sea is close to the Antarctic continent, and the temperature here is getting lower and lower.
Mackenzie kept reminding the others of the precautions for sailing on the floating ice sea: "Slow down! Be careful of the large pieces of floating ice on the sea surface, conduct regular reconnaissance, and be careful of the icebergs that are not visible under the sea surface!"
Entering the floating ice sea, the speed of the Volcano slowed down. If it weren't for Mr. Rudolph's request, Mackenzie would definitely not have chosen this route. Pieces of floating ice drifted slowly, the sea surface was cut by the floating ice, and tiny waves gently hit the side walls of the floating ice, occasionally knocking down a piece of ice.
The Volcano crashed into the floating ice, and the huge hull smashed the floating ice.
Rudolph stood at the bow, and an ice crystal was like a mirror, reflecting Rudolph's appearance in the ice crystal.
The abilities of wizards are always so strange. Dozens of miles away, on a pure white ship, the Antarctic wizard Nelson raised his white eyebrows, and the whole person was like a melted ice cube. An even colder momentum made the surrounding crew shiver.
The Antarctic wizard stood up from the chair wearing a white bear fur coat. This white bear fur coat is Nelson's treasure, because it is made of polar bear fur coat, and it is not easy for him to go to the Arctic.
"Notify the Church of Pain that the furnace has appeared in the floating ice sea!"
A priest returned to the cabin assigned to him by the Iceberg. He came to the statue of the evil god of pain and prayed to the pain with iron nails all over his body.
Faith is like a giant net, with countless believers as nodes, and the great evil god stands in the center of the giant net.
The priest prayed to the superior priest with divine magic, and the superior priest quickly learned the information through prayer, and he passed the information to the higher-level priests.
Finally, the news of the appearance of the furnace was placed in front of the 6th-level painful priest Baz.
In order to obtain the help of the Wizard Association, Baz promised the Wizard Association to hunt witches, and the target of the witch hunt was Rudolph the Furnace. However, Baz hesitated at this time.
The three churches in the north, the Holy Light (White Magic), the Artisan (Straggling) and the Nothingness (Oblivion) Church, all suffered at the hands of the furnace.
Nelson should know this, why did he still hunt witches? Does he have some methods against Rudolph the Furnace?
The Church of the Evil God has an instant communication capability that is beyond the times, and this message was quickly transmitted in the major temples.
Baz received a reply from the 6th-level White Magic Priest Wright, saying that if there is a chance, if the Wizard Association really knows how to deal with the Phoenix Wizard, then you can give it a try. Just because they can't do anything to the Phoenix Wizard doesn't mean the Wizard can't do anything to the Phoenix Wizard. Wizards know Wizards better .
The three northern churches are willing to make certain resource exchanges to fund the Church of Pain's witch hunt.
After hesitating, Baz decided to meet Nelson first.
Level 5 South Sky Swordfish Wizard Swo, two Level 5 White Magic Priests, one Level 5 Trapped Priest, and one Level 5 Oblivion Priest. Since the first time I heard the name of Rudolph the Crucible, so many Level 5 Apostles have died in the hands of the Crucible without knowing it.
Every famous wizard has blood on their hands. But Rudolph will not blame himself for this. He just thinks that there are too many bad guys and wizards like him are not enough.
As they go deeper into the floating ice sea, the speed of the Volcano is getting slower and slower.
A week later, the ships of the Church of Pain have joined the Iceberg outside the floating ice sea.
The Antarctic Wizard Nelson boarded the flagship of the Church of Pain. He saw the Priest of Pain who was missing an eye and had no artificial eye, and had a naked eye hole with pus.
Baz, the 6th level pain priest, always uses yellow and black pus to please the pain priests.
There is a foul smell in the pus, but the air temperature here is very low, so the stench is still bearable. If Baz goes to Saragu Sea, then Baz's pus will make people within ten meters vomit.
Baz stared at Nelson with his one eye, but Nelson was not afraid. The Wizard Association also has 6th level wizards, so he doesn't need to shrink back.
"Nelson, do you know that the Crucible has been promoted to a 5th level wizard?"
"Yes." Nelson certainly knew about the joint wanted order of the three northern churches.
"Do you know that the Furnace has become the Southern Phoenix Wizard?"
"Yes."
"Then are you still going to hunt witches?"
Nelson was very confident:
"Great Priest Baz, we all know that no apostle is invincible. Everyone has a way to restrain their abilities.
The Phoenix Wizard is a fire wizard, and I am a water wizard who masters extreme cold. The opportunity to meet the legendary Phoenix Wizard is very precious. I think I can prove that the Phoenix Wizard is nothing compared to the extreme cold!"
If Rudolph were here, he would definitely think that Nelson was a fool. The Phoenix Wizard is obviously a soul wizard.
Nelson continued:
"The Southern Swordfish Wizard of our Wizard Association died at the hands of the Furnace, and the four level 5 priests of your Church of the Gods also died at the hands of the Furnace. We have a common goal in this matter and can cooperate. After this witch hunt, our Wizard Association will take away the Southern Phoenix Constellation Secret, and you can also take back the flagship of the Artisan Church.
There is just one thing that needs to be discussed again. I hope you can hand over the Longboli Volcano Island to us."
Baz wanted to remind him, he felt that Nelson was a little too confident. He knew Wright. Wright was a priest favored by the Lord of Holy Light. Wright was very capable. If Wright suffered at the hands of the Crucible, he did not think he was much stronger than Wright.
But seeing Nelson's confident look, Baz felt that Nelson must know some ways to restrain the Phoenix Wizard.
The Longboli Volcano Island mentioned by Nelson had changed from an active volcano island that no one cared about and avoided to an important island related to the promotion of the Phoenix Wizard.
Baz said, "It's too early to talk about the ownership of the Lomboli volcanic island. The island is now in the hands of the Church of Holy Light, and they will take good care of it. If our cooperation goes smoothly and we really build a temple on the land of the Elba royal family, then the island can be temporarily opened to the Ancient Sea Wizards."
Speaking of this, Nelson suddenly became very angry: "The morally despicable wizard of the Crucible, his despicable behavior of exposing secret key information to other apostles completely cuts off the opportunity for others to accommodate the characteristics of the Phoenix.
He has aroused the public indignation of wizards, and his notoriety will always make him the enemy of other wizards! Public enemy! He is the public enemy of wizards!"
As far as Baz knows, the Wizards Association has firmly controlled the secret locations of the Swordfish Wizard, the Hydra Wizard, the Vela Wizard, the Antarctic Wizard and other secret locations, and does not let others get involved. For this reason, Nelson is stationed in Antarctica and shoulders heavy responsibilities.
But Buzz was not interested in these. He asked:
"So, Nelson, what is your witch hunting plan? Is it feasible?"
Nelson stepped forward and wanted to explain in detail, but was stopped by the stench of the yellow and black pus. It would be impolite to take a step back, so he suppressed his nausea and told him his plan.
Buzz listened carefully and thought it seemed possible. He might as well give it a try.
