The refugee registration work was soon completed. Rudolf stood among the refugees and watched Kelita finish her work and leave with the refugee registration book.
Now the city of Fabro is safe, and any action outside the city may be dangerous. Kelita was sent to the freight station in the suburbs. It seems that her position in the police station is very delicate.
Among the police officers who left with Kelita, several of them looked unfriendly. This should be the secret sentry arranged by the Court of Justice next to Kelita to monitor the possible furnace.
Rudolf's social relations were very simple before. His interpersonal relationships were mainly concentrated in Leman Town, which was later destroyed. He did not stay in Fabro for a long time. The Court of Justice could find out who had dealings with him. Maybe there were witch hunters following Jennifer.
Those who had dealings with the furnace could become a breakthrough in tracking down the furnace.
Scratching his head, Rudolf suddenly thought of Bass, the owner of the bathhouse. He was concerned about both Jennifer and Kelita. Poor Bass, I don't know how he is doing.
I feel so guilty. I only thought of him now. I am a bit biased towards love.
Bass is a lost priest with a weak faith and no hope of promotion. With the status of the evil god cult in Fabro City, Bass should not be in any great danger.
The registered refugees were divided into several groups, some heading to the mining area, some heading to Leman Town, and some heading to other towns... The refugees in the team looked at the people in the parliament eagerly, waiting to go to the next place to welcome their new life.
Zelda, the stationmaster of the freight station, cursed and disliked the refugees for walking slowly.
"Those few people! You go last!" Zelda pointed at the refugees at the end of the team, including Rudolf: "You guys should clean up the freight warehouse last before leaving! These refugees are so dirty!"
Zelda, the confidant of Acting Speaker Arden, was about to become a member of parliament and the director of the Railway Department. The reason he stayed here was to secretly contact the Acting Speaker Arden's spy.
When Rudolph was cleaning the floor, a ball of paper rolled down Zelda's trouser leg: "Clean it well, don't miss anything."
Rudolph carefully picked up the ball of paper, and smeared the alchemical potion prepared by Aden on his hands, so that the handwriting on the ball of paper appeared: Rupert's identity is very reliable, and it has been reviewed by the Court of Inquisition, so it can be used with confidence.
Knowing this news, Rudolph felt relieved. Revealing a new identity in front of the witch hunter today is also to test the reaction of the Court of Inquisition. Judging from the results, Aden's identity and ability are still reliable for Rudolph to find a temporary disguise. It feels good to have an insider.
When leaving the freight station, Rudolph looked in the direction of the city. The most conspicuous thing in the city is the 5 signal towers. On the top of each signal tower, a red light flashes, indicating that the shielding function is operating normally.
In addition to the signal tower, there is also the Court of Inquisition airship cruising over the city. There is a mobile signal tower at the tail of the airship, so that even if the fixed signal tower is destroyed or fails, the mobile signal tower can make up for it.
In order to guard against the furnace and provide guarantees for the reception of refugees, the Tribunal is really willing to invest.
Every time a Southern Sky Wizard is hunted, it takes a very long time, and it is rarely done in one go. The Tribunal is ready for a long-term battle with the furnace.
Rudolf also noticed that there were many more airships of the Constitutional Army outside the western suburbs of Fabro City, and the Carolingian Alchemy Council increased the deployment of the Constitutional Army in Fabro City.
The Tribunal is here to target Rudolf, but those Constitutional Army are targeting the Kingdom of Elba. Some time ago, when Rudolf was at the border, he saw a large number of Carolingian Constitutional Army assembled and stationed on the border.
Perhaps, the Carolingian Alchemy Council has already made preparations to directly intervene in the Elba Civil War on land.
The storm is coming, and I don't know if there are any variables in the evil god cult in the southern continent. The situation of the Elba nobles is not optimistic.
Finally, looking at Fabro City, Rudolf felt that Fabro City was like a tortoise shell, with shielding signal towers everywhere, and he had no way to start.
Staring at the sign of the Court of Justice on the airship, Rudolf thought he should find a way to lead the people from the Court of Justice out.
With his head down, Rudolf followed the refugee team and walked towards the town of Leman.
Slowly moving forward on foot, at noon when most people were the most tired, an Elba man slowly moved behind Rudolf and whispered:
"Mr. Rupert, do you have any instructions next?"
The man was Church, from the Earldom of Golden Anchor. For the sake of confidentiality, he did not know Rudolf's true identity, but only knew that he had to cooperate with the person holding the Golden Anchor token.
When leaving the port city of Kordor, Rudolf promised the Earl of Golden Anchor that he could reduce the mineral output of Fabro City, thereby reducing the support of the Carolingian Alchemy Council for the Elba Alchemy Council.
After Yvonne took control of the territory of the Red Wolf King, the mining area of Fabro City significantly reduced production, and it has not yet recovered to its peak. Now the wilderness railway still breaks down every other day, and the maintenance engineers of the council are running their legs off.
The Earl of Golden Anchor was very satisfied with this, and the furnace fulfilled his promise.
Before Church left, Count Pallu deliberately told him that if he saw the Golden Anchor Token, he must obey the orders of the owner of the token completely.
The original Rupert was sent to the border to identify spies from the Elba nobles among the refugees to prevent the spies from destroying the city of Fabro.
As Arden's confidant, Rupert's ability is still very strong. After Rudolf replaced Rupert, he quickly followed Rupert's clues to find Church, and showed the Golden Anchor Token to make Church believe in himself.
Rudolf went to the border this time, first, to avoid the limelight, second, to give Arden's second personality time to grow, and third, to mix sand with the parliament's refugee reception plan.
The Carolingian Kingdom began to accept Elba refugees, and the Elba nobles would not sit idly by. This time Rudolf contacted Count Golden Anchor, just in time to borrow the power of the Elba nobles.
"Church, let your people hide first and don't do anything for the time being. After the refugees adapt to life here, let your people find ways to help the refugees do winter ploughing in Leman Town. We must get a big harvest next spring. I need an excuse to get all the bigwigs in Fabro City to come to Leman Town."
Seeing the Constitutional Army on the border and the Constitutional Army in Fabro City, Rudolf guessed that the reason why Obed was so anxious to operate Fabro City was not only for the profit from selling mines, but perhaps to provide a more stable rear for the Constitutional Army.
To the south of Fabro City is Mayotte, which is where the Kingdom of Elba borders.
Mayotte should be more suitable for receiving refugees. Now it seems that if Mayotte is regarded as the front line, then the role of Fabro City is to provide better support for the front line. This is also one of the reasons why Obed has stayed in Fabro City.
Hearing Rudolf's arrangement, Church nodded, turned around and disappeared in the refugee team.
Before arriving in Fabro City, Church also learned a lot about the current situation of Fabro City. The chairman of the county council, Obeid, has been staying here, working on the spot and urging the refugees to be accepted. The deputy director of the provincial court personally led a team to hunt witches here. Mr. Rupert might want to do something big and need to lure these big shots out.
As for organizing the refugees to do winter ploughing, this was not difficult for Church. The oats harvested from winter ploughing would become precious food for the refugees. If no one disturbed them, they would live well.
A Judgment Hall airship flew by quickly, causing the refugees on the ground to look up. Like the other refugees, Rudolf also looked up at the airship in the sky.
I don't know if these witch hunters worked hard to find the furnace. Rudolf was very tired on this border trip. The skinny refugees moved very slowly. It took the refugee team more than two days to reach Leman Town, which was supposed to be a one-day journey.
The werewolves in Leman Town disappeared, and it became even more desolate and desolate, with almost no windows intact.
The Alchemy Council did not have the energy to repair these houses. Anyway, there were many refugees, so if they wanted to live there, they could do it themselves.
After the refugees entered Leman Town, the new mayor sent by the council led his men to allocate houses.
Leman Town used to be able to accommodate more than a thousand people, but now it has become much more dilapidated, and can accommodate at least more than 600 people.
When the refugees were taken away by different people, the whole Leman Town suddenly became a little more lively.
Rudolf quietly left the refugee team and came to a house. He became the captain of the witch hunters in Leman Town and also took over the witch hunter base in Leman Town.
Rudolf had some impression of this house. It used to be the casino of Kashino.
I have been to the casino many times, but I didn't expect that this casino was actually the base of witch hunters. Rudolf remembered that Kashino and the blood clan's Revno family also had a close relationship. It seemed that the blood clan had long been at odds with the Inquisition.
After kicking the door open, dust was lifted up by the upside-down door panel and rushed towards him. The windows of the casino were very small, and the light in the dilapidated casino was dim.
After stepping back for a distance, Rudolf waited for the dust to settle down, and saw the gambling tables inside. The gambling tables were covered with dust, and the dust had some bulges, which looked like chips or sieves.
Rudolf is now a mysterious witch hunter, and he can't let him clean it himself. Turning around and going outside, three refugees soon appeared in Rudolf's sight.
Rudolf stood on the steps at the entrance of the casino and said to the three refugees: "Clean this house in two days. Each of you will be given 10 Carolingian bronze shields per day."
The three refugees saw the dark bronze shield in Rudolf's hand, and their eyes lit up. The Carolingian bronze shield is a hard currency among the Elba refugees, and it is what they need most.
After getting the bronze shield, the three refugees rushed into the casino excitedly, not realizing how dusty the casino was.
There was a long awning at the entrance of the casino, under which was a table and two chairs. The three refugees cleaned up the place first according to Rudolph's request, so that Rudolph could have a place to sit.
Lying on the chair, Rudolph covered his face with his hat and rested.
For some reason, after entering Leman Town, time slowed down. This was a town that would never be in a hurry. The slow pace also made Rudolph's mood calm.
Half an hour later, an official came to Rudolph with two assistants.
Rudolph took off his hat and stood up from the chair immediately. He glanced at the badge on the official's chest and said, "Mr. Mayor, you are so busy, why do you think of my tavern?"
Casinos are illegal, but taverns are legal, so the plaque of the tavern has always been hung here.
The former mayor of Leman Town was Mr. Red Priest Pulley. After the Revno family was eliminated, the parliament set up a mayor here again.
The mayor said, "I am Baines, a member of the city council, and the mayor of Leman. Leman welcomes you to do business. Remember to register with the town, pay taxes and management fees on time."
"Okay, respected Mayor Baines."
While answering, Rudolph accidentally revealed a corner of the witch hunter badge.
When Baines saw the badge, he nodded with satisfaction. The Inquiry Office finally sent the captain of the witch hunters in Leman, which made Baines feel much more relieved. The witch hunters did not keep secrets from the mayor, and the two knew it well.
"Mayor Baines, please keep No. 15 Padge Street. That's where the furnace used to live. I will set up control there immediately."
"Of course, the refugees don't know, but we know that it is a haunted house."
Rudolph and Yvonne would not live there, but they didn't want the house to be bought or occupied by refugees.
After seeing off the mayor, Rudolph rested on the recliner again.
Less than half an hour after resting, regular knocking sounds appeared in the narrow alley on the side of the casino.
Rudolf was not used to the witch hunters' sneaky style of doing things. He stood up from his chair and went into the alley on the side.
There were three witch hunters in the alley. The leader said, "Captain of the witch hunters in Leman Town, the Court of Inquiry requires you to cooperate in investigating the traces of the furnace. If you find any information related to the furnace, report it immediately."
"Received."
As the captain of the town witch hunters, he would often report his action plan. I wonder if the Court of Inquiry knew that this was the trace of the furnace they were looking for.
Remembering something, Rudolf said,
"Can the Court of Inquiry build a signal shielding tower for Leman Town? Leman Town is isolated and not as heavily guarded as Fabro City. The furnace once lived here. What if he came to destroy Leman Town?" The witch hunters in the Court of Inquiry seemed to have expected it. They knew that the witch hunters stationed in Leman Town would make such a request. The signal tower posed such a huge threat to wizards. Without the shielding signal tower, the witch hunters would not feel safe.
"Wait for a while. You are the only one in your witch hunting team in Leman Town. When you build a team, the Court of Inquisition will build a signal tower here."
Rudolph nodded with satisfaction. The parliament was indeed rich and willing to build a signal tower in a small border town.
It was good to have a signal tower. It was just right for Rudolph to study what weaknesses the signal tower had.
"Rupert, take us to see the places where the Furnace once lived tonight. Don't miss any of them."
"You can come here to find me at night. I don't know your name yet?"
"Bowen, you can call me Captain Bowen."
