"Aries wizards are very, very special. Their specialness lies in..." Childe suddenly asked Rudolf: "Mr. Furnace, do you know about immortality?"
Rudolf nodded: "Yes, Aries wizard Ptolemy achieved immortality and became the Lord of Mars in the battle to expel the evil god."
Childe nodded. Since Furnace knew about immortality, he didn't need to explain these secrets. He continued: "Aries wizard Ptolemy achieved immortality. Since then, the number of Aries wizards has become very, very small."
Rudolf particularly agreed with this statement. He had only seen one Aries wizard, that is, the Pillar of Creation wizard Nadav who warned him at sea.
"Since Ptolemy took control of the war, all Aries wizards similar to Ptolemy have improved their abilities.
Mr. Furnace, you are very powerful, but other apostles agree that Aries wizards are unique among wizards and stronger than other wizards.
The knight's ability to challenge a higher level is determined by the characteristics of extreme power. According to the information we have collected, although Aries wizards cannot completely fight against apostles of a higher level, they are definitely much stronger than apostles of the same level.
We guess that after taking control of the war, the abilities of the Aries wizards who followed Ptolemy have been enhanced."
Hearing these words, Rudolf suddenly remembered that among the forbidden techniques he mastered, only the fire-related forbidden techniques had abilities that surpassed those of the same level. For example, Rudolf's current shooting finger fire is equivalent to a level 7 alchemical bullet.
Other forbidden techniques, whether water-related or wind-related, can only be considered abilities of the same level at most.
Could these changes also be due to Ptolemy?
Mr. Child continued, "Aries wizards are very rare because the awakening of Aries wizards must meet two conditions. The first condition is that the wizard apprentice must awaken in the wizard's Aries month, which is April. This condition is relatively common. The second condition is difficult, which is that the wizard must awaken on the battlefield."
"Awaken on the battlefield?"
This condition surprised Rudolph very much. The battlefield is dangerous. It is simply too outrageous for ordinary people to awaken on the battlefield with star stones.
Wizards are already hated by everyone. They are watching wizard apprentices awaken on the battlefield. Don't officers and soldiers passing by give wizard apprentices a hand?
"Yes, you must awaken in the chaos of the battlefield. You cannot awaken as an Aries wizard apprentice in a fight with others.
The secret of immortality is not something that ordinary apostles can spy on, but I guess the biggest difference between Aries wizards and other wizards is that Ptolemy has mastered the power of "war", so that future Aries wizards will have war-related abilities."
Rudolph finally understood why he had never seen an Aries wizard. It turned out that the awakening of an Aries wizard was so demanding.
He could imagine that an Aries wizard could hardly awaken naturally or awaken by accident like Rudolph. He had to be helped by an Aries wizard to awaken.
Aries wizards participated in the war, then selected wizard apprentices from the soldiers, and finally helped the selected apprentices awaken in the war.
On the battlefield, weapons flew and blood flowed. An Aries wizard looked at a wizard apprentice and asked the apprentice to awaken with the star stone. This scene must be very out of place on the battlefield.
"Wait, this war must be a night battle?"
"Oh, yes, your supplement is very correct. It must be a war that takes place at night." Childe continued:
"Back to the royal wizards of the royal family, the royal court teachers and royal wizards of the royal family are generally Aries wizards.
After the royal family launched a war, it was very easy to find and contact Aries wizards, so it was not surprising that Aries wizards appeared in the palace.
I don't know the specific reason why the royal family cooperated with Aries wizards. It may be that Aries wizards have certain abilities related to war and can help the royal family win in the war.
This is also why the royal family does not allow vassal nobles to receive The reason for contacting the Aries wizard is that the right to start a war must be firmly in the hands of the royal family. The Golden Anchor Family and other noble families have never come into contact with Aries wizards. This is a taboo for the royal family.
When I was young, I followed the royal astrologer in the royal capital to learn divination. I saw a royal wizard from a distance in the palace. He was a wizard with a goatee, and I didn't know his name. I heard from my teacher that Aries wizards like to have goatees and wear sheepskin robes, which are easier to identify. "
The Aries wizard that Mr. Child met when he was young should not be Nadav that Rudolph had seen. Nadav looked less than 40 years old, and Mr. Child was already in his 60s.
Rudolph understood that the Golden Anchor Family told Rudolph everything they knew, because Mr. Child said that the royal family did not allow vassal nobles to contact Aries wizards, and the Marquis had no way to contact Aries wizards.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Childe. This information is very useful to me."
Neither the Marquis nor Mr. Childe asked Furnace why he wanted to know about Aries wizards. Competition among wizards is very fierce. Maybe Mr. Furnace needs a special Aries wizard relic.
This idea is too dangerous. No matter how good the relationship between the Golden Anchor Family and Furnace is, it is impossible for them to help Rudolph hunt for an Aries wizard relic.
After leaving the Marquis's palace, Rudolph walked towards the port.
This night happened to be a full moon night. To be honest, Rudolph didn't like the city very much, because there were many people and apostles here. The full moon night always made Rudolph hear a lot of whispers in his mind.
Rudolph no longer needed to use whispers to find apostles to hunt for relics, so whispers became a simple burden, making him uncomfortable.
"Rudolf... where are you... it's so painful..."
A certain mumbling suddenly caught Rudolf's attention, and he hurriedly sped up. This mumbling seemed to be from Yvonne.
When Rudolf returned to the Volcano, he found Yvonne standing on the deck looking west. She had cold sweat on her forehead and her body was shaking slightly.
Rudolf hurried over and asked her: "What's wrong, Yvonne?"
"I seem to hear some strange calls, like the call of the Wolf King, but the distance is too far, not very real."
"The call of the Wolf King? The kind of call that can control low-level werewolves? This is Kodor Port, there shouldn't be high-level werewolves around." Rudolf asked puzzledly: "Which direction does the call come from? I'll go and see."
There must be no high-level werewolves in the Royal Navy. If there are, the Marquis of Golden Anchor will tell Rudolf.
Could it be that there are high-level werewolves in the Constitutional Army that is confronting outside?
If this is true, it would be simple. Rudolph and Yvonne do not need to go to the wilderness and can be promoted here.
"Not nearby, I think it is far to the west, in the direction of the wilderness."
"Can the call in the wilderness affect you here?"
"It seems so. This is the first time I have encountered such a situation. I am not very clear."
In the werewolf tribe, low-level werewolves will be influenced by the aura of the wolf king and obey the wolf king. But Yvonne has never joined any werewolf tribe. Why can she feel the call of the wolf king?
After Yvonne was promoted to the fifth-level wolf king, she will no longer lose her mind on the full moon night. I don't know what is strange about this full moon night, why can Yvonne hear the call in the wilderness.
I hope nothing unexpected will happen in the wilderness, so as not to affect Yvonne's promotion.
In the second half of the night, after midnight, Rudolf stayed with Yvonne and helped her spend this special full moon night.
Yvonne has been fighting against her bestiality, and it is obvious that she is not as relaxed as before. Although she did not turn into a werewolf, her body was shaking all the time. This full moon night made Yvonne very painful.
It was not until 4 o'clock in the morning that light appeared in the sky, and Yvonne's condition improved a lot. Exhausted Yvonne fell into a deep sleep.
I don't know what happened in the wilderness that Yvonne, who was in Kordor Port, was so affected.
Rudolf felt that something big was happening. The warning of the Pillar of Creation and the impact of the wilderness on Yvonne all proved that there was an undercurrent on the continent.
After dawn, Rudolf arranged the affairs of the Volcano and the Giant, and prepared to go to the wilderness as soon as possible to help Yvonne get promoted as soon as possible.
There are many flags flying on the Volcano, including 26 letter flags, 10 number flags, 1 answer flag, etc.
In addition to these, there are also port flags that need to be used when entering the port. If it is the first time to enter the port, you need to get permission from the port. This habit was brought by the navy. If the navy wants to visit other countries, it will fly the flags of the corresponding countries when entering other countries.
Gradually, there are more and more flags on the sea ships, so that people call the colorful flags on the sea ships the flags of all nations.
After the port flag of the Golden Anchor Port, the Volcano Shipping Company once again obtained the port flag of the Port of Kodor. In the future, this port flag can be hung before entering the port, saving a lot of inspections.
The Golden Anchor Family even issued a formal exclusive shipping license to the Volcano Shipping Company. In fact, it is impossible not to be exclusive, because other shipping companies do not have the power to transport military supplies for the Royal Navy on the Saragu Sea.
If other shipping companies dare to smuggle military supplies, they will be beheaded if they are caught by the Constitutional Army. The furnace's neck is very hard, and it is too difficult to cut off its head. Even if it is cut off, Rudolf's head can still grow out.
Volcano Shipping Company occupies the identity of a civilian ship. When encountering the Constitutional Navy, it can communicate in a more flexible way. If the Royal Navy transports it by itself, it must be escorted by warships throughout the journey, which is too costly and too expensive.
Therefore, the emergence of Volcano Shipping Company is a powerful supplement to the logistics of the Royal Navy.
When bidding farewell to the Marquis of Golden Anchor, Rudolf said: "Marquis, I will take my ship to a port controlled by the Alchemy Council. I hope to formally talk to the people of the Alchemy Council to see if I can get their business permission, so that I don't have to worry about the threat of the Constitutional Navy anymore."
"Okay, this is the best, so your trading company will be freer."
While small ship merchants are still bribing the military to smuggle secretly, large ship merchants have already gone to the port to ask for licenses openly.
"Since Mr. Furnace has such a plan, I will also give the Constitutional Army a gift. I have a lot of ashes of the Constitutional Army soldiers. After each battle, we will cremate the remains of the Constitutional Army soldiers and keep the soldiers' nameplates. You can take them over and help us exchange the ashes of the Royal Navy soldiers. Now the communication channels between the two sides are completely cut off. I have always had this idea, but I have no way."
"That's even better. Thank you, Lord Marquis. This way I have a more legitimate reason to enter the port of the Alchemy Council."
The Volcano and the Giant left the Port of Kordor. The pirate ship was bought by the Royal Navy at a high price, which was a favor to the Furnace.
After leaving the Port of Kordor, the two ships continued to sail westward. After sailing on the sea for half a day, they encountered the Navy of the Constitutional Army.
The Constitutional Army was really pressing hard during the half-day voyage.
After sending the negotiation flag, the Volcano allowed the Navy of the Constitutional Army to approach.
However, the Constitutional Navy was even more nervous than the Volcano. They were so nervous that when they exchanged intelligence with other warships in the morning, they knew that the Furnace's shipping fleet was cruising nearby.
Unfortunately, what they feared came true. They encountered the Furnace's shipping fleet. After seeing the flag of the Volcano Trading Company in the telescope, the captain swallowed hard.
"Try to get closer! See what the Furnace wants to talk about!"
Rudolph flew to the Constitutional Navy ship. After accommodating the Vela Secret, Rudolph could fly during the day and no longer rely on Vanya's bat wings.
He took out a document and handed it to the captain with a nervous and serious face.
Behind the captain were fully armed soldiers and rockets that had been turned on. Seeing these alchemical weapons again, Rudolph was no longer afraid.
While the captain was carefully guarding against the Furnace, he lowered his head and quickly scanned the document.
The content of the document surprised the captain. It was an unsigned document, which expressed admiration for the sacrificed soldiers of the Constitutional Army. These soldiers were once the subjects of His Majesty the King, and they should be buried in the land of their hometown.
After learning that the furnace really had no ill intentions, the ship signaled the officers behind him to remove the alert.
"Mr. Furnace, are you sending back the ashes of the soldiers for the Constitutional Army?"
"Yes, the Marquis of Golden Anchor believes that these noble and brave soldiers were also the subjects of His Majesty the King, so he asked me, the middleman, to send back the ashes. The Marquis has a hope that I can also bring back the ashes of the Royal Marines for him."
The Royal Navy will not leave ashes after the defeat, because the soldiers will sink with the ship, and there will only be a sunken ship. The Marines are different. If there is a certain war morality, the ashes are likely to be preserved.
Cold sweat ran down the captain's head. They are not as hypocritical as the nobles. What should they do if they don't preserve the ashes of the Royal Navy soldiers?
Forget it, let's take the furnace back to the port and see how the headquarters responds to the nobles' request.
The nobles are so shameless that they actually asked for an exchange of ashes. The alchemist has been in power for too short a time, and he is not as cunning as the nobles. He can think of using this method to hit the morale of the Constitutional Army.
If he is not wrong, the news will spread everywhere soon. The furnace, as an intermediary, sent back the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers of the Constitutional Army, but the Constitutional Army could not produce the ashes of the sacrificed soldiers of the Royal Marines. This will make the Royal Navy more united against the enemy and will also make the Constitutional Army lose a move morally.
When the captain entered the cabin of the Giant and saw the neatly arranged urns with soldier nameplates on them, he cursed the hypocrisy of the nobles and felt a little ashamed.
As far as he knew, they could not produce many Royal Marines' ashes.
Two ships of the Volcano Trading Company followed the Constitutional Navy and headed for the port controlled by the Alchemy Council, Oyster Bay Port.
With the guidance of the warship, it was very simple to enter the port this time. This port is famous for its abundant oysters and is now the closest port to the front line.
The Constitutional Navy had already received the news. They held a grand ashes handover ceremony at the port. Soldiers took down urns one by one from the Giant and prepared to send the ashes back to their hometowns and their loved ones according to the nameplates on the urns.
After the handover ceremony, a lieutenant general of the Constitutional Army found Rudolf.
"Mr. Furnace, the ashes of the fallen soldiers of the Royal Marines, we need some time to prepare, I hope you can wait for us for a while."
The lieutenant general's face was full of sweat, not because he was afraid of the furnace, but because they could not take out the enemy's ashes in a short time.
"It's okay, I can wait for a while. I just want to go to the wilderness west of the Kingdom of Elba. You have plenty of time to prepare before I come back."
Hearing this news, the lieutenant general staff officer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Furnace! I will apply for a license for your shipping company right now. In the future, your shipping company can sail freely in the ports of the parliament. But please be careful not to involve military supplies, which is illegal."
The last sentence was not taken seriously by the speaker or the listener. They all knew that Furnace would become the key to Saragu.
