"Who are these two?"
A young girl in a black dress followed Viscount Paulus, holding a box in her hands.
"Oh, this lady is also a tutor in the Earl's Castle like you, a Level 3 wizard named Ursula.
I heard from Miss Ursula that if the relics are not properly preserved, the power of the apostles inside will naturally dissipate after a period of time. I can't bear to see you work hard to collect relics on the battlefield, so I let Miss Ursula do these things for you."
Paulus treated a Level 4 wizard like Rudolf with great respect.
The number of high-level apostles showed a sharp decline. For example, under the command of Carloman XVI, there were 2 dukes, 13 marquises, and 46 earls.
The title can be inherited, but the knight level cannot be inherited. Among the 46 earls, less than half are Level 5 knights, and the rest are Level 4 knight earls, with a lot of differences in strength and combat effectiveness.
Count Pallu, to whom Paulus was loyal, was a Level 5 knight in his prime. Once he was promoted in this war and made certain military achievements for the king, he would most likely become the king's new marquis, and the Golden Anchor family would then make further progress.
Paulus himself knew that if Rudolf was willing to sincerely surrender to the Count, his treatment would not be worse than any other viscount in the Count's territory. For a noble, it was more difficult to verify the loyalty of a wizard.
Several people entered the cabin by the sea, and Ursula opened the box.
The moment he opened the box, Rudolf was a little disappointed. There were only 2 Level 4 relics and 11 Level 3 relics in it.
Rudolf thought that this box was also a space magic weapon, and a mountain of relics would emerge from it. But think about it again, Count Pallu has his own trusted wizards, and Ursula in front of him can handle low-level relics, and can also handle a large part of Level 3 relics. Only when it involves a certain phase of the constellation magic language that she does not have will it be sent to Rudolf for processing.
Most of these relics were from alchemists and druids. This proved that the Restoration Army's attack speed was not fast, and the Court of Inquisition in Port Kordor had already evacuated. The relics in the Court of Inquiry were diverse, and there were all kinds of apostles among the witch hunters.
"I understand, then please come back here in three days, and I will give you two level 4 magic weapons and 11 level 3 magic weapons."
Viscount Paulus did not mean to leave immediately: "I wonder if Mr. Rudolf would be convenient to let Miss Ursula stay here to assist you in making magic weapons. After all, there are quite a lot of magic weapons, and it is very difficult to make them."
"Inconvenient."
Faced with Rudolf's straightforward refusal, Paulus was choked and coughed repeatedly. Ursula raised her eyes and looked at Rudolf in disbelief.
Rudolf really felt inconvenient. He knew what Paulus meant, which was both help and supervision. But he was still not used to having another wizard watching him make magic weapons.
Paulus hurriedly emphasized:
"Mr. Rudolf, our situation is rather urgent. Landing the beachhead at Kodor Port is only the first step of the plan. The Royal Army is about to make a second large-scale landing and urgently needs magic weapons to supplement its combat effectiveness.
Therefore, this batch of magic weapons must not be lost. This is the first time we have cooperated and we don't know each other very well. I hope you can understand our concerns."
"Are you afraid that I will take the magic weapon and run away?"
"Not that I'm afraid, but I am a little worried."
Viscount Paulus' tone was gentle, but his attitude was firm. Rudolf also knew that he could not be completely trusted by Viscount Paulus, so he had to say: "Okay, but the specific production is entirely up to me."
"Of course, Miss Ursula is just assisting you."
Ursula stayed here, and to Rudolf's surprise, Viscount Paulus actually set up a tent in an open space one kilometer away and stationed here. Viscount Paulus is a level 4 knight. It seems that these magic weapons are indeed very important. In other words, the restoration army will not miss any opportunity to improve its strength at this time. This war only allows success, not failure.
This also shows that Viscount Paulus does not trust Rudolf as much as he seems. But it is understandable. In the propaganda of the Carolingian Kingdom, Rudolf is an image of a crazy killer. Being able to cooperate with Rudolf has proved that Viscount Paulus has great courage.
After everyone left, Rudolf took the box and walked towards the open space far away from the wooden house, with only Ursula following behind him.
When Ursula and Rudolf were alone, she suddenly started talking:
"Mr. Rudolf, when I learned that I would come to cooperate with you, I went to Viscount Paulus to get information about you. You are really amazing! You have done so many great things in the Carolingian Kingdom. I haven't heard of a wizard as powerful as you in the past fifty years." "
You are not bad either. It must be dangerous on the battlefield to get so many relics, right?"
"Dangerous? Not dangerous. I only go up to collect the relics after the enemy dies. I have never encountered any danger."
"Really?"
"Really? My teacher is the Earl's tutor, and so am I. Before the raid on Kodor Port, I had never left the Earl's castle."
Rudolf stood there motionless, staring at Ursula with surprise.
"I feel like we are not the same kind of wizards... In other words, you did not encounter any danger on your way to becoming a level 3 wizard, and you were promoted in the Earl's Castle?"
"You are the second wizard I have met besides my teacher. Because of my identity as a wizard, I have never left the Earl's Castle. Both my teacher and the Earl said that it is too dangerous outside and there are witch hunters everywhere. My teacher has been bedridden since last year and died before the war started, so I had to go to the battlefield with the Earl."
Rudolf has already imagined a big drama in his mind. The Earl's real wizard was also a notorious demon when he was young. When he was old, he sought the Earl's protection. This time the Earl had to leave the castle. The Earl could not confirm how true or false the wizard's illness in bed was, and he did not dare to leave him in the castle, so he had to kill him and eliminate the trouble forever.
As for Ursula in front of him, because she was raised in the castle, her loyalty is not a problem. Although the level is slightly lower, it is easier to control.
For some reason, Rudolf has a hunch that his guess should be right. Because if one day, he went to seek refuge with a noble, he predicted his own fate like this. When he lost his usefulness, he would be executed by the noble.
It is impossible to die a good death, no wizard can die a good death.
If what Ursula said is true, then she should not have much fighting power. She has never experienced the danger of hunting relics. All her knowledge comes from the castle and the wizard teacher. She has never experienced witch hunting and danger. I don't know if she is lucky or unlucky.
Rudolf decided to try it a little.
In the night, a bat appeared at some point. This bat flew behind Ursula. The bat's dark eyes were hidden in the fluff on its face, staring at the back of Ursula's neck.
A blood tangent shot out of the mouth of the bat and pierced the back of Ursula's neck.
But the blood tangent stopped in mid-air, not because Ursula found it, but because Rudolf sensed the fluctuation of star power.
It was not Ursula's star power, but a magic weapon that could run automatically. Ursula has a magical device hidden on her body that can automatically protect her. This magical device is a level 4 magical device.
Rudolph is somewhat envious of the wizard who is so well protected.
