Weird Star Witch

After the meeting with Count Nahor, Count Pallu walked deeper into the palace.

Just as he was thinking about how much help Kedrick had received from Rudolph the Forge, he suddenly saw Kedrick waiting outside his office.

Count Pallu rarely returns to the castle, either in the army or in the royal capital, so this scene of his son waiting for him is rare.

The other servants stayed away with a tacit understanding. This was the time that belonged to father and son. Count Pallu thought that Kedrick would say something about emotions, but Kedrick directly stated his purpose: "Father, my friend wants to see you."

After receiving the letter from Kedrick, Count Pallu saw a phoenix on the sealing wax of the letter.

The most famous phoenix recently is, of course, the Southern Phoenix Wizard, Rudolph the Furnace.

"Come in."

This office was the former Speaker's Office of Port Codor, and it was very luxurious.

After briefly reading the letter, it turned out that Furnace indeed wanted to see him, but there was no reason given in the letter.

"What does the Forge want to talk to me about?"

Upon hearing the earl's inquiry, Kedric replied: "Father, he wants to talk to the Golden Anchor family and the Royal Navy. From our standpoint, I think his proposal is valuable."

Palu nodded with satisfaction. Kedrick's answer was perfect. He did not stand from the perspective of his friends, but from the perspective of his family and the Royal Navy.

"Okay, bring him here."

Kedric saluted and left. Not long after, the office door opened again and a man in a cloak came in.

Pallu could tell from the cloak that it was the burial cloak of a living corpse. The immortal duo in the intelligence, the Phoenix and the Green Skull, acted together and committed crimes together. It was probably the Green Skull who made this cloak for the wizard.

The living corpse embalming technique is very powerful, allowing the corpse to be hidden underground, perfectly hidden. As a level 6 knight, Palu could not see through the shadow of the cloak and could not see the appearance of the person inside.

Rudolf lowered his hood and revealed his true appearance: "Dear Count Pallu, the father of my good friend Kedric, I am very happy to meet you."

Count Pallu was 45 years old and in his prime, but he was a little surprised to see Rudolph the Forge so young: "You are the youngest level 5 wizard I have ever seen. Mr. Rudolph, please sit down."

Count Pallu was not an ordinary level 6 apostle, and Rudolf was not an ordinary level 5 wizard. Both sides maintained great respect.

"My son got a lot of help from you."

"We had similar temperaments, and I was moved by Kedrick's determined will to help each other."

Palu nodded and approved the answer: "My son said you want to see me, what's the matter?"

Rudolf said: "Count Pallu, it's getting late, so I'll give you a brief introduction. I'm here to discuss a cooperation with you, a cooperation that is beneficial to both you and me."

Count Pallu nodded and motioned for Rudolph to continue.

"Count Pallu, as far as I know, your army has encountered a little trouble, and the Elba Alchemy Council is very powerful.

If there was only the Elba Alchemy Council, I think you would have achieved more impressive results. Unfortunately, behind the Elba Alchemy Council, there is also the Carolingian Alchemy Council.

The Carolingian Alchemy Council provided all support except direct troops, and the one who carried out all this was Vichy County, Orb Province, which borders the Kingdom of Elba.

Among them, Fabro City in Vichy County has the largest iron ore producing area and the second largest coal producing area in the entire county.

And the city of Fabro happens to be my hometown. Just the mention of the name makes my heart swell. I will not destroy the city of Fabro, but I can destroy the mining industry in Fabro.

And this is exactly what you need, Lord Count. "

Palu asked doubtfully: "Why do you want to destroy the mining industry there?"

Rudolf shrugged. A big man like Count Pallu would not care about the love and hatred that had happened in Fabro City. He briefly explained:

"The methods used by alchemists in mining are too bloody. A friend of mine couldn't stand their behavior, but he was too weak at the time and unfortunately died at the hands of the alchemists. This time when I go back, I want to have a chat with those enemies. I hope they can realize their mistakes."

Count Pallu saw the hatred that was almost overflowing from the false smile of the furnace.

"This is indeed what I need." He asked: "What do you need from me in our cooperation?"

Rudolph replied: "You don't need to do much. There are many speech spirits scattered in the war zone. I hope you can tell me a hidden route so that I can safely cross the war zone."

"This is really not difficult."

Up to this point in the war, the distribution of forces on both sides has been almost transparent, and there are basically no secrets about the location and strength of each force.

Count Pallu said: "Tomorrow I will ask you to take you to see the sand table, which contains the latest troop deployment. I think with your ability, as long as you know a general direction, it should not be difficult to safely cross the war zone."

He pressed the button on the table, and not long after, the attendant came in.

"Let Viscount Paulus come to see me."

Three minutes later, Viscount Paulus entered the count's office.

"I remember that you met Viscount Paulus, my Falcon Attendant, my right-hand man who handles secret affairs for me. Tomorrow he will take you to the war room, where there will be the latest sand table with the troop deployments of both sides marked on it. "

"Thank you very much, Lord Count." Rudolph stood up and said:

"I hope I can bring you good news as soon as possible. At least it will be difficult for Fabro City to transport ore to the Elba Alchemy Council in the future.

Kodor Port is also a place that Kedrick worries about day and night. I think I can help Kedrick and the Golden Anchor Family in Fabro City."

Paulus has been silently collecting information since he entered the Earl's office. Could Kedrick intervene in the affairs of Kodor Port through the wizard in front of him?

Palu watched Rudolf and Paulus leave, and liked this efficient and quick style.

After sending away the furnace, Paulus went to Caleb's residence.

A few minutes later, Caleb's surprised voice sounded: "Kedrick wants to influence Kodor Port through that wizard?"

Half an hour later, Paulus left Caleb's bedroom and disappeared into the darkness.

The next morning was Kedrick's coming-of-age ceremony, and Rudolf finally entered the banquet hall.

Kedrick's coming-of-age ceremony was very grand. Kedrick's superior, Count Nahor, commander of the Eastern Fleet, attended in person, which showed that Count Nahor was very optimistic about Kedrick.

The climax of the coming-of-age ceremony was even more astonishing.

Count Pallu conferred Kedrick as a viscount! Kedrick will have a city as a fiefdom!

The other rewards were relatively conventional, but this reward amazed everyone.

At the end of the conferment, Count Pallu's words implied that he would launch a counterattack against the Constitutional Army and gain greater merit.

At this time, conferring a large piece of land was also to show the Count's determination. If Count Pallu could become a marquis in the war, then a viscountship would not be a big deal.

The eldest son Caleb found that many people were looking at him. If there was no Kedrick, the city would belong to Caleb.

However, he just kept applauding Kedrick and was sincerely happy for his brother's achievements.

But after the applause, Caleb looked at Paulus, and Paulus nodded to Caleb secretly.

Not long after, Viscount Paulus came to the corner of the banquet hall and found Rudolf.

"Mr. Furnace, the Count allows you to see our military sand table once, please follow me."

Rudolf stood up and followed Paulus out.
