Rudolf asked Michael to inform all the crew members that the Golden Anchor Port was very safe and they could go ashore to rest after making arrangements.
The crew members who were used to docking at the pirate port rarely came to such a large port controlled by the chosen apostles of God, and they were a little uncomfortable seeing the flat stone road.
Their first goal when they went ashore was the bathhouse, which they desired more than the tavern. Of course, it was unknown whether this bathhouse was decent or not.
Rudolf, Ivonna, Cooper, Drake and others, led by Butler Wenler, went to the Golden Anchor Castle to rest.
Compared with the city of alchemists, this city did not have so many street lights and public motorcycles, but the buildings were taller and more willing to invest.
The tall and majestic Jin Anchor Castle appears at the end of the field of vision. On the other side of the moat is the Jin Anchor family's castle.
The black walls are covered with red copper-colored gilded copper wires, and these gilded copper wires are running with electric light, which is actually in an excited state.
The black stone walls represent tradition, and the golden red copper wires represent modernity. The knights standing on the walls represent tradition, and the thick city defense cannons represent modernity. This castle actually has the style of cyberpunk.
In fact, the real defense force of the castle is the Marquis's Jin Anchor Knights. Once the Knights are destroyed, this castle is just a dead object and cannot resist for long. The symbolic meaning of this castle is greater than its actual meaning.
Steward Wenler said that the logistics were tight, and even if the banquet was of a lower standard, it was enough to fill the long table of more than ten meters with food and wine.
What surprised Rudolf was that the banquet started with Cadrick's mother coming to see Rudolf in person.
In the inheritance law of the nobility, illegitimate children have no inheritance rights. Only children born to noble wives have inheritance rights, and daughters also have inheritance rights. Cadrick is the fourth heir to the Marquis of Golden Anchor, which means that he is the fourth child born to the Marquis's wife.
The Marquise was already quite old. She dressed up and attended the banquet. The first glass of wine she drank was to thank Rudolf for helping her youngest son get promoted and become a young 5th-level knight. The Golden Anchor family was pleased to see that Cadrick had such a strong foreign aid.
The Marquise had a simple meal. After eating two bites, she left the banquet hall on the grounds of feeling unwell and asked Butler Wenler to entertain the distinguished guests.
As soon as the Marquise left, the pirates in the banquet hall became much more natural.
Rudolf watched Michaels and other first mates feasting, drinking from large glasses, and shaking the red wine in the glass with a smile.
He turned around and whispered to Butler Wenler: "Butler Wenler, before we finish transporting the materials to Kordor Port, I hope you can cooperate with me in a play."
"Oh? What play?"
When Butler Wenler heard about acting, he was very interested.
The last big play led by the Forge was the Giant's Treasure. The truth about the Giant's Treasure was slowly revealed. There was no treasure at all. The Forge was hunting for relics, which made the pirates on the Ancient Sea happy for nothing. The real treasure must have been collected by the Forge in advance.
Butler Wenler knew the reputation of Mr. Forge. The wizards of the Ancient Sea would say that the Forge was a despicable villain. Eric in Red also proved that this rumor was true.
Rudolf turned around and motioned to the intelligence leader Zakari to come closer. Steward Wenler understood that what the Smelter was going to say might be related to intelligence.
"Steward Wenler, I hope you can cooperate with me and spread a message in the ancient sea, saying that the Anchor Family took out a precious 8th-level gold-refining bullet and handed it to the Smelter.
It doesn't matter what the specific words are, whether it's to thank Cadrick for helping him, to maintain the friendship between the Anchor Family and the Smelter, or to entrust me to transport logistical supplies. It doesn't matter.
Even if you spread the news that you definitely didn't give me a level 8 alchemy bullet, it's fine."
Butler Wenler understood what Rudolf meant: "Mr. Furnace, do you want the two sides of the ancient sea to pay attention to whether you have a level 8 alchemy bullet?"
"Yes, it doesn't matter whether I have a level 8 alchemy bullet or not. It is very important for others to discuss whether I have a level 8 alchemy bullet. As long as they discuss it, they will doubt whether I really have it. Yes For me, this is enough. "
Butler Wenler said with a smile: "I understand. The power of the level 8 Alchemy Bullet is the strongest when it is not fired."
Rudolf said with a smile:
"That's right. What I want is intimidation. Everyone knows that I am the Southern Cross Assassin. If I want, I can assassinate anyone.
If I have a level 8 Alchemy Bullet in my hand, then the Evil God Cult will have to send out a level 8 Cardinal Priest if they want to target me.
No matter which church, there are very few Cardinal priests. If the Cardinal priest leaves the temple, I think the 7th-level knight will not miss this opportunity for promotion. There are many people who want to kill an 8th-level Cardinal priest. The cost of their witch hunt will be very high. I will be safer in front of the evil god cult.
Rumors are also part of strength, especially rumors that can make others believe and fear. "
"I understand, Mr. Furnace, please rest assured that we will cooperate with your intelligence head Leader, let the north and south sides of the Salagu Sea start discussing the issue of the 8th-level refining gold bullet. "Butler Wenler said:
"What makes me feel ashamed is that we really don't have the 8th-level refining gold bullet. I will pay attention to the news of the 8th-level refining gold bullet and apply for the royal family to help get an 8th-level refining gold bullet for your use."
"Thank you very much."
Whether Butler Wenler's last polite words were sincere or not, as long as they were willing to spread the news that Rudolf needed, that would be enough.
In this way, the Volcano Shipping Co., Ltd., which Rudolf had just established, would become safer, and ordinary cats and dogs would not come to cause trouble.
Steward Wenler continued, "If you are considering your shipping company, I suggest you register it in Golden Anchor Port."
Rudolf said, "Formal registration? I'm sorry, I just have this plan, and I don't know much about the specific matters."
Zakari added hurriedly, "Captain, if you register formally and pay taxes to Golden Anchor Port, you can run a shipping company normally, instead of doing it like pirates did before."
"I understand, then register it." Rudolf asked again, "If I go Do we also need to register the ports of the Alchemy Council and then pay taxes to them?"
Butler Wenler nodded: "The rules for the passage of the Salagu Sea are as follows: formally register at the port, pay taxes once when leaving the port, and pay taxes again when entering the port."
"In other words, I have to pay taxes twice for every money I make? Isn't this robbing money?"
"It sounds unreasonable, but it is true. Mr. Furnace, we can exempt you from taxes for transporting military supplies this time, and we will also pay you a generous reward."
"That's great."
