Salmon entered Rudolph's office with a cane.
The moment he entered the office, Salmon looked very depressed because he saw Mr. Rudolph tidying up the utensils on the table.
Even though he knew that Mr. Rudolph was leaving, he still felt a little uneasy when he saw the current scene. Without Mr. Rudolph and Mr. Cooper, Salmon was very insecure and had no confidence.
The desk became clean. A clean desk means that the desk is no longer used for work. Only those messy desks can prove that the owner is busy.
Salmon knew that Mr. Rudolph was leaving Red Beard Island again.
This Red Beard Island is too small, just right for the old Red Beard. For young people like Mr. Rudolph and Mr. Cooper who have just become level 5 apostles, it is not very attractive.
"Samon, do you have an idea for your promotion?"
The promotion of an alchemist is more troublesome. In addition to having a large amount of mineral resources, it is also necessary to achieve certain innovations in academia and achieve level promotion in the creation of new materials and new technologies.
However, not all research will achieve remarkable results. Minor innovations are enough to promote alchemists. In Mr. Rudolph's words, this is called watering down.
"Mr. Rudolph, the two magical tools on the tip of the cane, the Gunpowder Finger and the High Explosive Array, have greatly improved me. I think I have some clues."
Rudolph nodded: "I still suggest you go in the direction of materials, because materials are easy to produce results."
This is Rudolph's experience in his previous life. He thinks that the direction of materials is the easiest to produce articles.
"I hope you can be promoted as soon as possible. Unfortunately, I can't stay here to wait for you. When I'm not here, I hope you and Zachary will cooperate with each other to keep Red Beard Island prosperous."
Salmon put the cane on the desk and returned it to Rudolph, but saw Rudolph rolling the cane back in front of him.
"This cane has accumulated 5 level 4 magic weapons: level 4 erosion light bead, level 4 thorn staff, level 4 gunpowder finger, level 4 high explosive magic circle, level 4 wolf blade breath. Now, this magic weapon belongs to you."
Salmon's eyes were bright, unbelievable.
Rudolf motioned him to take the cane. To be honest, it was a bit irresponsible for him to leave. However, he really couldn't be tied to this island.
This is a good place to stay and a good industry, but that's all.
"This cane is a compensation for you." Rudolf said:
"You have also met Master Kedrick of the Golden Anchor Family. If there are difficult enemies on Red Beard Island, let Zachary contact him. He will be responsible for dealing with enemies you can't deal with. He is a level 4 knight, and his deterrent power is about the same level as ours."
Rudolf's current ability is mainly forbidden magic combined with starlight water snake. This cane is not very helpful to Rudolf. It is better to leave it on Red Beard Island to enhance the strength of Red Beard Island.
Rudolf stood up and prepared to leave.
"I will come back. I hope you will be a level 5 alchemist by then."
Salmon followed Rudolph and walked out.
Outside the office, Zachary was already waiting at the door.
Salmon saw that Zachary had a pearl earring on his ear.
Noticing Salmon's gaze, Zachary lifted his hair and tilted his head 45 degrees:
"How about this pearl earring? It's a gift from Mr. Rudolph. It's a magic weapon made for me using the relics of the level 5 White Demon Priest! Isn't it exquisite?"
"Level 5 magic weapon?" Salmon's eyes widened. Mr. Rudolph was so generous that he couldn't believe it.
"Zachary! This magic weapon is to ensure your safety, not a gift from me!"
Seeing Zachary lifting his hair to deliberately reveal the earring, Rudolph almost couldn't help but punch him.
Just thinking about it makes me feel a little sick. Zachary lifted his hair in front of others, exposing his white neck, but his sight was attracted by the pearl earring. The next second, the earring shot out a level 5 erosion ray, burning his eyes.
In order to avoid getting angry, Rudolf immediately turned around and walked forward.
Zachary behind him took out a makeup mirror and began to carefully examine his new earrings in the mirror.
Salmon hurriedly caught up with Mr. Rudolf. He didn't want to see Zachary fiddling with the makeup mirror either. It wasn't because of Zachary's orientation, which was his freedom, but because he was afraid of the bad feeling of being controlled by the silver snake. He had never felt it, and he didn't want to feel it.
It's inevitable to make enemies when you get out there. Rudolf had many enemies in the Saragu Sea. It would be very irresponsible to just walk away like this
. Therefore, Rudolf spent a lot of money to make Red Beard Island have a certain self-protection ability. Kedrick's help, the level 5 magic weapon, the level 5 painful priest corpse, and Zachary's intelligence ability should be able to ensure the basic safety of Red Beard Island.
Of course, the biggest source of security for Red Beard Island is actually the deterrent power of Rudolf and Cooper.
Rudolf will also ask Zachary to find a way to transport the wealth obtained here to Rudolf to enrich Rudolf's wallet.
At the port, some captains noticed something unusual in the order of the ships leaving the port. The important people of Red Beard Island were all gathered at the port.
There were Green Skull, Furnace, Port Director, Intelligence Director and others.
The Volcano was left in the port, and thick smoke was burning on the Iceberg. The Iceberg and Kedrick's ship left the port together.
Salmon watched the ship go away, then turned to look at the other captains.
Captain Connie was the first to walk towards Salmon and express his respect to Chief Salmon.
Just kidding, now that it has been confirmed that the owners of Red Beard Island are Green Skull and Phoenix Wizard, who dares to be presumptuous here.
Unless they hear that Green Skull has been imprisoned again, or find a way to kill Phoenix Wizard, no one will easily offend Red Beard Island.
Salmon was very satisfied. It seemed that Mr. Rudolph and Mr. Cooper had enough deterrence.
He couldn't wait to walk to his laboratory. He had to be promoted as soon as possible. He didn't know when Mr. Rudolph would come back next time.
The destination of the Iceberg was the port city of Kordor, which was about the middle of the Saragu Sea.
The Council Hall of Kordor Port City has long been transformed into the Earl's Palace.
At this time in the Council Hall, the servants were nervously decorating the palace under the guidance of the butler.
The Earl's eldest son Caleb was promoted to a major general this year. He walked in the palace and accepted the salutes from the butler and servants from time to time.
His face was filled with festive joy. His brother's coming-of-age ceremony was a big deal for the Golden Anchor Family.
His younger brother, the genius knight Kedrick, has become famous in the past six months and became a level 4 knight at the age of 16.
Caleb played the role of a big brother who was full of love for his younger brother, and even stopped to point out the mistakes in the overlapping parts of the carpet. "There must be no mistakes in the details. What if this one centimeter height difference trips our guests? The commander of the Eastern Fleet, Count Nahor, will personally attend my brother's coming-of-age ceremony!"
Caleb thought about his own coming-of-age ceremony. It seemed that no nobles like the count would attend, only the nobles in the territory.
The servants hurried to correct it. After watching the servants finish correcting it, Caleb walked towards his room with satisfaction.
When he entered his room, his smiling face disappeared instantly, and his expression became stiff.
"Paulus! Where is my brother! Where did he go!"
Viscount Paulus, the falcon attendant of Count Golden Anchor and responsible for the secret affairs of the castle, lowered his head and did not look at Caleb's hideous face: "Master Caleb, Master Kedrick's ship left the previous port, and the next port is Kodor Port."
"Won't there be some 'wind and waves' along the way?"
Paulus wiped the sweat from his head. The 'wind and waves' here are not ordinary wind and waves, but a jargon he liked to use in the past. Master Caleb found it very interesting, and he also used this jargon.
"Master Caleb, Master Kedrick and Count Nahor, the commander of the East Fleet, are traveling together, so it is impossible for them to encounter wind and waves."
Paulus understood that Caleb might not really want to kill Kedrick with "wind and waves", but just wanted to create some trouble so that Kedrick would miss his birthday and his coming-of-age ceremony.
However, this was something Paulus would never dare to do, as it was too dangerous. Count Nahor of the Peninsula, commander of the East Fleet, admiral, even if Paulus had a hundred guts, he would not dare to think of taking action.
Commander Nahor's men would soon discover his tricks, and without the support of Count Palu, how could he be the opponent of Commander Nahor.
This year, Master Kedrick ran away from home, but his story became the focus of heated discussion in the castle.
Master Kedrick secretly left the port of Kodor and went to the Dock Manor in the southern continent.
According to Master Kedrick's reply later, the Dock Manor was attacked by the Church of the Evil God, and the itinerant butler Nain and the butler of the Dock Manor were unfortunately killed in the battle.
Later, with the help of his friends, Master Kedrick took over the manor and stabilized the situation.
Master Kedrick struggled to support Doc Manor alone, and was promoted to a level 3 knight in the battle with other forces in the southern continent.
Later, the White Demon Church Navy attacked the Royal Navy's Eastern Fleet. Master Kedrick responded to the call of His Majesty the King and, on behalf of the Golden Anchor Family, made the ships of Doc Manor a noble conscripted army. He repeatedly made military exploits in naval battles and was promoted again in the war to become a level 4 knight.
Master Kedrick was therefore awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel by Commander Nahor.
For a level 4 knight, the rank of lieutenant colonel is a bit low. However, for underage nobles, lieutenant colonel is a rank that only underage princes can have.
Master Kedrick became an underage lieutenant colonel, and no one said any extra gossip. He was only one coming-of-age ceremony away from becoming a colonel.
"Master, according to the report from the people I arranged to be beside Master Kedrick, the reason why Master Kedrick was able to make rapid progress is because of the help of the wizard Furnace. You have also seen Furnace. When Master Kedrick ran away from home, he was very close to him."
"Furnace?" Caleb thought of the young wizard: "I have heard of his name recently. Didn't the Evil God Cult list him as a blasphemer and are hunting him down?"
"Yes, that's him, the Phoenix Wizard Rudolf. Master, you have to pay more attention to this wizard. He is Master Kedrick's biggest helper now."
Caleb's eyes were uncertain: "I understand."
Paulus reminded Caleb when he left: "Master, tomorrow is the day when the East Fleet delegation will arrive. I hope you don't forget it." Caleb
put on a professional smile, so bright: "Of course, how could I miss the day when the Commander of the East Fleet arrives?"
When Viscount Paulus left, Caleb's face instantly turned cold.
The next day, the Eastern Fleet entered the port of Kodor, and Count Pallu, along with senior officers from the Western Fleet and the Marine Corps, went to the port to greet them in person.
Commander Nahor stood at the bow, looking at the carpet and the honor guard on the pier, and sighed: "I don't know how long we can occupy this port. It is really admirable that Count Pallu can still take out the honor guard at this time."
In fact, the battle line has been pushed to a place more than ten kilometers away from the port of Kodor, and the situation is very tense.
Keldrick behind him did not speak, not knowing what to say. He hoped that his father could hold on here and continue to contain the power of the Constitutional Army, which is very important for the Royal Army.
When Nahor walked down the gangway, he saw Count Pallu opening his arms to welcome Nahor.
Count of Golden Anchor and Count of Peninsula are extremely important nobles of the Elba royal family. They both started from the navy and are both opponents and partners.
The contemporary Count of Golden Anchor was promoted to a level 6 knight, which firmly suppressed Count of Peninsula Nahor, but this did not affect the long-lasting relationship between the two generations.
"Dear Count Nahor, the last time we met was in the palace. I wonder how you are doing recently?"
"Dear Count Palu, the last time we met you were still a level 5 knight. I wonder how you feel after being promoted?"
Both of them laughed and hugged each other.
After greeting the accompanying officers, Palu saw his son in the crowd.
"Father!"
Keldrick had not been very close to his father since he was a child, and at this time he didn't know how to express his feelings after not seeing each other for a long time. His father was always busy and rarely returned to the castle.
Count Palu also didn't know. Fortunately, Nahor came to the rescue. Nahor patted Keldrick on the shoulder and said happily:
"Count Palu! You have a good son! My God, you have two good sons! In the past, the nobles said that the heir should be like your son Caleb, but now it's different!"
Caleb smiled brightly behind Count Palu, but his heart sank to the bottom.
"Now everyone says that if you give birth to an eldest son, he should be like Caleb of the Golden Anchor Family, and if you give birth to a youngest son, he should be like Kedrick of the Golden Anchor Family!
Marquis Rosser of the Royal Capital even wrote to me to inquire about Kedrick's deeds, asking me if I deliberately flattered your youngest son to please you, a Level 6 Knight!"
Count Palu became a Level 6 Knight, but Count Nahor could still make fun of Palu.
In history, there were times when the Count of the Peninsula overwhelmed the Count of the Golden Anchor. The good thing about the long history is that their friendship or fight will not be affected by the situation of a few years or even decades.
Count Palu patted Kedrick's other shoulder:
"Oh, Count Nahor is the commander of the East Fleet. How could he flatter Kedrick with the rank of the Royal Navy? But I still have to thank you, Count Nahor, for taking care of my son."
"Kedrick worked hard on his own. A Level 4 Knight cannot be fake. I hope he can be promoted to a Level 5 Knight as soon as possible!"
