When Rudolf woke up the next day, he ate breakfast and read the newspaper while humming and groaning.
Yanila was preparing breakfast and preparing to feed it to him later. However, Yanila's eyes dimmed when she saw Rudolf.
Staring at the headline of the newspaper, Rudolf remained silent for a long time.
"A bloody night of fog struck the city of Fabro in Vichy County again. What can we do in the face of the increasingly rampant heresy in the wilderness?"
This report was written from the perspective of the city where Rudolf is currently located.
The report first reviewed the disasters that Fabro had suffered in the past six months: insect plagues caused hunger, wolf tides destroyed farms outside Fabro, the first blood fog night turned half of the city's people into blood servants, the heretic rebellion killed the former speaker Quint, the evil god sacrifice created countless servants, the furnace Rudolf turned out to kill Vice Speaker Claude and the director of the County Trial Office Quinn, followed by the furnace Rudolf's nine-day white rose killing, which killed Vice Speaker Thor, and then the second blood fog night now.
Fabro, originally an ordinary city that was about to decline, experienced so many disasters in just one or two years and often made headlines in newspapers.
However, the tone of the article changed and talked about the successive disasters in Fabro because it is so rich now. The minerals in the Ruhr mining area are gathered in Fabro, and countless wealth is also gathered in Fabro. At the end of the article, the future development direction of the city was discussed. I don't know when it will become a well-known gathering place of wealth like Fabro City.
After reading the news, Rudolf stared at the words "Second Blood Mist Night" and remained silent.
No matter how much they did, even if Claude died for it, they could not stop the Alchemy Council from creating a second Blood Mist Night for the miners. Those people, they still couldn't escape...
After a long sigh, Rudolf closed the newspaper.
Yanila took the newspaper for Rudolf and threw it far away: "Forget it, don't think about it, Rudolf, wait until you become a level 5 wizard, come back and deal with those bad guys."
Rudolf touched Yanila's head. The little girl couldn't understand Rudolf's powerlessness. If it was just to deal with the bad guys, it would be such a simple thing.
Yanila brought Rudolf a glass of malt oil. It is said that this thing has the effect of making men's masculinity.
"Isn't it too much to eat in the morning? It's a bit greasy..."
"Not too much, we will reach our destination in a few days. It turns out that promotion is so simple. I will seduce you again and again, conquer you again and again! I still want to be promoted!"
"Impossible! I'm not that weak! How can I be conquered and seduce by you again and again?"
"I have learned a lot! If you don't believe me, try it!"
"I have some experience, can I learn this?"
Yanila lay beside Rudolph's ear, exhaling hot air, and whispered: "I can..."
"Where's the malt oil? Is one cup enough? I need malt oil! More malt oil!"
Three days later, Yanila became a level 2 silver snake.
On the night before they were about to part, Yanila lay on Rudolph's chest. I don't know when, Rudolph's chest was a little wet.
"Yanila, when I become a wizard of the South Sky, I will come to you."
Rudolf took out a watch and put it on Yanila: "This is Claude's magnetic control watch. It should have been his thing. Now I give it to you. I hope you can protect yourself."
In a remote town, Rudolf saw Cooper and Yvonne waiting here.
"Rudolf, you are finally back." Cooper breathed a sigh of relief: "Why do you look so bad?"
Rudolf coughed: "There were several times when the battles with the enemy were very fierce, and I almost lost to the enemy. The enemy is very good at flanking, which made it difficult for me to deal with."
Cooper agreed with this: "I went to the Black Gold Institute to inquire about the major events in Fabro City. I know that Rudolf the Furnace took revenge on Fabro City like crazy, and there is also a rumor that 'the white rose represents death'. You should also be more careful and don't always get into danger."
Rudolf nodded in fear.
Impressed, he looked at Yvonne who was looking at him with a worried face, and prepared to let Yvonne learn the art of double attack, deal with it more, practice more, so that she would not be defeated in the same situation in the future.
Soon, three carriages appeared in the town, with the words "Bauhinia Circus" on them.
At the edge of the bustling night market, the circus began to perform.
In the simple floral tent, the stage was built by the side panel of a carriage.
The girl wearing a ball mask covering the upper half of her face was the circus's animal trainer. She was teaching the little bear to count at the door of the tent, using this method to attract children.
There were only two animals in this circus, one was a little wolf and the other was a little bear. But these two animals were extremely smart and could do many things according to the orders of the animal trainer.
On the left side of the stage, there was a clown with oil paint on his face. He always had a fixed smile on his face and smiled at everyone. He was standing on a flower ball and throwing 5 small balls with both hands.
On the right side of the stage, there was a magician wearing a white mask with a redbud pattern on it.
The magician was carrying a cane, the handle and tip of which were chrome-plated metal. The ball on the handle was particularly bright, and there were dark red spots on the black body of the cane, and there was a flame pattern on the tip of the cane. I don't know what magic the magician mastered, but he could actually spit out fire, which attracted a group of children to clap and shout.
Seeing that this circus had some ability, the children pestered their parents to buy tickets to watch the performance.
The magician was also the ticket seller. He took out a stack of tickets: "10 copper shields per ticket! The Redbud Circus will give you the most exciting performance! Let you relive it for several nights!"
Just as many people took out copper shields, the lights suddenly illuminated not far away.
A dance troupe also began to attract customers. A dozen young girls in fluffy miniskirts stood in a row. When the music sounded, a dozen long legs like white onions were raised higher than their heads.
Rudolph watched so many people put the copper shields they had just taken out back into their wallets.
"Don't leave! Our circus is absolutely amazing!"
The audience did not agree with the magician's judgment. They almost all left within ten seconds and gathered around the dance troupe.
How can a circus with all its fancy acrobatics be as good as striptease? How can it be attractive if it doesn't touch the edge?
"I want to see the circus!"
Rudolph looked down and saw a little fat man staring at the ticket in his hand.
"Do you have money to watch my circus?"
"I don't have money, but I want to watch the circus!"
Rudolph turned his head helplessly and looked at the clown Cooper: "Captain, what do you say we should do?"
Cooper's clown smile showed a hint of embarrassment: "Just treat it as a rehearsal. Let's perform it for these kids."
The animal trainer Yvonne said excitedly: "Come on! Let them in! Show them our circus!"
Rudolph didn't sell a single ticket, then he lowered the curtain of the floral tent and put on a special show for a dozen children. The circus performance by three level 4 heretics amazed the children.
The little wolf performed swiftly, running through fire hoops, holes, wooden stakes, and a single-plank bridge. The little bear could do arithmetic and dance. Although he couldn't kick his feet higher than his head, the way he looked in a skirt still made the children laugh.
The clown could do many acrobatics, such as throwing small balls, wooden sticks, and balancing cars... The clown's ridiculous oil paint made the children clap their hands non-stop.
The magician was even more amazing. A copper shield note could be turned into a gold shield, and he could also spit fire and water.
After sending away the unsatisfied children, Rudolf calculated today's income and expenditure.
"Expenses: booth management fee, 100 copper shields; 15 cups of juice, free, cost 5 copper shields.
Income: zero!"
Cooper also had something to say: "In the past, our leader Seko managed the circus. I only played a clown at that time. Later, I was a zombie for so long, how could I know how to run a circus?"
Rudolf shook his head. He had just robbed the Thor Trading Company and sold a large number of wizard weapons. Even if he left 100,000 gold shields for Kalita, he still had a huge sum of 600,000 gold shields on him. Even if this circus made money, how much money could it make? Therefore, he said:
"In this case, let's change our business strategy in the future. Let's focus on our own happiness and have fun. I just want the circus masks and oil paints to help me disguise myself. I hope we can reach the southern continent smoothly."
The purpose of Rudolf and the other two was to go to the southern continent. After seeing the Southern Sky Star Region, they would help Rudolf become a level 5 wizard. Rudolf is not fighting alone. When he becomes a Level 5 wizard, he can call upon three Level 5 heretics, Level 5 blood clan, Level 5 word spirits and Level 5 silver snakes, high-end wizards, to come back and beat Abel.
"Let's go. After a night's rest, we will continue on the road. When we reach the next big city, we will change to a carriage with better conditions. These carriages are too shabby and do not match my identity as Rudolf the Crucible." Every
night, Larry would make divinations to find a suitable route. Rudolf and his two companions performed all the way south and entered the United States of Elba. Only the United States of Elba has a port leading to the southern continent.
In fact, this place used to be the Kingdom of Elba. After King Carloman XVI declared war on the Alchemy Council, the Council changed the name of the kingdom to the United States of Elba, completely turning this country into a country of alchemists.
It is said that the Alchemy Council of the Carolingian Kingdom sold weapons to the United States of Elba, and the Carolingian royal nobles sold weapons to Carloman XVI. The wealth in the treasury accumulated rapidly, and Vichy County and Fabro City played an important role in this.
The restoration army belonging to the king and the constitutional army belonging to the parliament fought fiercely in the eastern plains of the United States of Elba. Rudolf chose the direction of the west of the United States, which was not directly affected by the war.
After nearly two months of trekking, Rudolf and his three companions finally arrived at the port city, the Port of Codor.
Standing at the port, looking at the waves of the Saragu Sea, Rudolf felt a little melancholy. There were not many ships in the huge port. It was estimated that all the ships were transferred to the front by the parliament.
Instead, there were many small fishing boats. These small fishing boats could not withstand the huge waves and storms on the Saragu Sea and could not cross the Saragu Sea at all.
The circus temporarily settled down in the western suburbs of the Port of Codor. This was a very dangerous behavior. The longer you stay in one place, the easier it is to be found by witch hunters.
Rudolph was going to try his luck at the Black Gold Exchange. In this distant and strange city, the only thing Rudolph could rely on was the Black Gold Exchange.
On a Friday night, Rudolph input star power into the chess piece, waiting for feedback from the Black Gold Exchange.
The chess piece jumped in his palm from time to time, and Rudolph quickly found the trading location of the Black Gold Exchange tonight. In a small fishing port in the suburbs, there was a double-decker cruise ship docked. Rudolph looked around and saw that there were only small boats in the fishing port, and there was no big ship that could help Rudolph cross the Saragu Sea.
Standing on the fishing boat, Rudolph's body rose and fell with the waves. After adapting for a while, he walked into the cruise ship.
When Rudolph showed his black elephant F, the guide here sat up straight instantly. No matter where the Black Gold Exchange is, being able to get the black elephant F represents strong strength.
"Dear guest, please go upstairs. The Black Gold Institute will serve you wholeheartedly."
Rudolf did not leave, but asked, "I would like to consult you about something."
"Please tell me."
"How much do I bid to go to the Southern Continent?"
The guide pondered and said, "It depends on when you plan to leave. If it is after the war, the third-class merchant ship ticket to the Southern Continent starts at 10 gold shields, and the first-class ticket is around 50 gold shields. If you plan to leave soon, the price will be very high, because the Alchemy Council is at war, and all ships of almost any level have been requisitioned."
"How high is the price?"
"If you bid more than 500 gold shields at the trade fair, if there is a ship leaving, they will definitely take you. If you can offer 3,000 gold shields, someone may find a way to serve you specifically, and you can leave faster.
But I don't recommend you to go to the Southern Continent now. It's more dangerous than the Kingdom of Elba... No, the United States of Elba, I'm not used to this new name. It's much more dangerous than the United States of Elba."
"Thank you, I understand."
Rudolf went up to the second floor. He had no interest in the transactions here and directly issued his request: go to the southern continent, as soon as possible, 5,000 gold shields.
Money is not a problem, it's all Thor Trading Company's money anyway, so I don't feel bad.
This price made people in the trading hall look sideways, but what disappointed Rudolf was that no one took the deal until the end of the transaction.
Rudolf left the Black Gold Office. If there was any new progress in his transaction, the Black Gold Office would notify him through chess pieces, and he could only wait.
Reza's witch hunting team has been chasing for two months, but there has been no progress.
They even left the Carolingian Kingdom and entered the United States of Elba after submitting an application. So many level 4 apostles entering the United States made the United States's Judgment Office very nervous. But after knowing that their purpose was to arrest the Crucible Rudolf, they followed a special procedure to let him go. The Crucible Rudolf wandered around the United States of Elba, which made the alchemists here very nervous.
Afterwards, the witch hunting team crossed the entire United States of Elba and came to the southern port city, Port of Kordor.
The Port of Khodor is the nearest port to the Southern Continent. It borders the Saragu Sea, and the Southern Continent is on the other side of the Saragu Sea. The Southern Continent is synonymous with chaos, where the power of knights and alchemists is very weak, and heresy is rampant.
Once Rudolf the Crucible escapes to the Southern Continent, the possibility of pursuit will be even lower.
During the entire pursuit, Rudolf the Crucible changed his previous brutal and bloodthirsty habits and did not make any noise.
The entire witch hunting team was filled with an irritable atmosphere. They did not expect this wizard and his gang to be so difficult to deal with. There is nothing they can do about it. The cursed words are more powerful than the divination words, and they have more means.
Just as time entered the Virgo month of September, the word spirit witch hunters suddenly made a new discovery.
"Star power fluctuations appeared in the western suburbs! Very huge!"
All of a sudden, the witch hunting team started to move. They finally found hope. There was a high possibility of finding the trace of Rudolf the Forge.
On a low hill on the western outskirts of Khodor Harbor, Rudolf was sitting on a big rock, preparing to complete his new magic weapon. This magic weapon was more important and could help him improve his combat effectiveness.
In his hand, he held a copper coin, which was the relic of old Thor, a level 4 magnetic control copper coin. He had obtained this relic for more than a month, and because he needed to use the Virgo witch language, he had been waiting for the arrival of the Virgo Moon in July.
