Chapter 117: Too many surprises (1)
Translator: 549690339
As Laura and the others ‘carriage moved forward, the road behind them was constantly shrouded by a black mist. It looked like a huge beast that was constantly swallowing the road, which made Laura and the others unconsciously speed up.
Soon, Laura and the others saw the green stone villa on the top of the mountain. They had already seen it the last time they were here. Because no one had been in charge of the villa for a long time, it looked very old and shabby. They had thought that after Zhao Hai and the others moved in, the villa would be renovated. However, to their surprise, the villa was not renovated. It only had some simple maintenance. From the outside, it still looked very old.
At this time, the gate of the manor was opened. On both sides of the gate stood two rows of human-shaped undead creatures. These human-shaped undead creatures were dark green in color as if they were carved out of black jade. Although they looked a little scary standing there, they were far from terrifying. On the contrary, they were like works of art.
There were nearly a hundred undead creatures in the two rows. Each of them was wearing clothes, which weren’t ordinary warrior’s clothes but the most commonly worn armor of mercenaries.
Upon seeing the undead creatures ‘attire, Laura and kun couldn’t help but look at each other and saw a trace of enlightenment in each other’s eyes.
They knew that qielan and the other mercenaries had attacked Zhao Hai a while ago. Laura also clearly remembered that when Zhao Hai first saved her, there weren’t many humanoid undead creatures among his summoned creatures. Now that so many humanoid undead creatures had suddenly appeared, coupled with their attire, they naturally thought of the attack that qielan and the others had launched.
At this time, Grimm had already entered the courtyard while riding on the back of the Xenomorph. Laura’s carriage had also entered the courtyard. When they reached the courtyard, Grimm jumped down from the back of the Xenomorph. The Xenomorph turned its body and leaned against the wall.
Laura and the others also stopped the carriage. Green stood beside the carriage and bowed to Laura, ” &Quot; please come in, Ms. Laura. Sir is waiting for you in the living room. &Quot; After saying that, he turned his body to the side and made a gesture of drawing in the air.
Lola nodded and led Nicole and kun into the yard. At this time, green turned to Lola and said, ” &Quot; Miss Laura, please let your men follow him to rest. &Quot; After saying that, he pointed at an undead creature at the side, which immediately bowed to Laura.
Laura and kun were stunned. They weren’t ignorant. On the contrary, they had seen many things, but they had never seen an undead creature as smart as this one.
Even though they were surprised, Laura and kun Zheng did not express much. Kun Zheng turned to Thales and said, ” “Seyle, you should go with them to rest.” Thales nodded and led his men to follow the undead creature.
Gerlin led the three of them into the courtyard. Laura and the others secretly observed everything in the courtyard. This courtyard had obviously undergone some renovation, but the renovation wasn’t very big. The only difference from before was that this courtyard had a trace of more people.
The four of them passed through the front most large living room and came to the backyard. Once they arrived, Laura and kun Zheng’s eyes widened as they saw the hot spring ditch in the backyard.
Of course, there was nothing worth paying attention to in the hot spring trench. They had already noticed it the last time they came here. This time, the reason why they noticed the hot spring trench was not because of the hot spring trench itself, but the thing in the hot spring trench, the hingfish.
Countless hunks filled the hot spring ditch. Laura and kun were both stunned by the scene. They were very clear about the situation in Rocky Mountain. The hot spring ditch here was not suitable for raising hunks, but what was going on with these hunks? Not only was it alive and well, but it was also much bigger than the average huokus. What was going on?
As soon as Grimm saw the two of them stop, he knew what they were doing. He couldn’t help but smile. They did it on purpose. If not, Laura and kun wouldn’t have been able to see those hunchfish.
They wanted to let Laura and kun see the hinderfish so that they could discuss the cooperation. Green turned to the three of them and said, ” “Miss Laura, please. Sir is waiting for you inside.”
Laura was stunned for a moment and immediately came back to her senses. She pointed at the hot spring’s cuttlefish and stuttered, ” “W-what’s going on?”
&Quot; this is my master’s pet, ” grine said with a smile. &Quot; please come in. &Quot; After saying that, he walked to the guest room in the backyard.
Seeing that green did not want to talk about it, Laura did not ask any further. She exchanged a surprised look with kun and followed green to the guest room.
Zhao Hai and meg were already waiting for Laura and the others at the door of the reception room. Seeing Laura walking over, Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” “Welcome, Miss Laura. I’ve not imagined that you could come to see me today as you just came back yesterday. It’s really my honor.”
Laura quickly bowed to Zhao Hai, ” “Laura greets Mr. Zhao Hai. This is nothing compared to your great kindness of saving my life. When Laura heard that Mr. Zhao has settled down here, I am extremely happy. It was really rude of me to come and disturb you today.”
“You’re too kind, Ms. Laura. Please come in,” Zhao Hai replied with a smile. After saying that, he turned around and entered the living room.
After the guests and the host were seated in the living room, meg immediately went to get a pot of Keya and poured a cup for each of them. However, Laura didn’t pay attention to Keya at this time, but the iron scroll in Meg’s hand.
Laura and kun Zheng were both experienced and knowledgeable people. Naturally, they could recognize the iron scroll with a single glance. However, they did not expect Zhao Hai’s servant to be holding onto an iron scroll.
Zhao Hai noticed the look in their eyes, but he didn’t say anything. He just said calmly, ” “This is a small place, there’s nothing much to serve. Please have a taste of this Keya.”
The two of them snapped out of their daze and politely took a sip from their glasses. Zhao Hai glanced at kun Zheng and said, ” “Miss Laura, who is this?”
&Quot; my apologies, ” Lola immediately said. &Quot; this is my Butler and also an elder I respect. He’s Grandpa kun Zheng. &Quot; Kun Zheng immediately stood up and bowed to Zhao Hai. &Quot; &Quot; kun Zheng greets Mr. Zhao Hai. Thank you for saving my lady. &Quot;
&Nbsp; Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s nothing. Please have a seat, Mr. Kun Zheng. &Quot; Kun Zheng sat down as instructed.
“I have a question, but I don’t know if I should say it.” Laura looked at Zhao Hai.
“May I ask, Ms. Laura?” Zhao Hai asked.
Laura looked at meg and said,”Sir, this maidservant of yours should be holding a magic sealing scroll, right?” May I know where teacher obtained it?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s nothing much. A few days ago, a few petty thieves tried to cause trouble here. After I took care of them, I got this iron scroll. This thing is useless to me, so I gave it to my maid. &Quot;
Laura and kun were both taken aback. They then carefully sized up meg. They could be considered as experts, and only then did they realize that there were very strong magical waves on her body. Those magical waves seemed to be no lower than the level of a 5th-tier magic caster.
Laura and kun couldn’t help but look at each other in surprise. Ever since they arrived at the green stone villa, the villa had given them too many surprises. The black magic that covered the entire mountain, the undead creatures that could understand human language and were very polite, the countless number of hunklefish, and the maidservant who was a mage before grade-5. All of these made them feel extremely amazed.
Laura and kun Zheng both saw the shock in each other’s eyes. After a while, kun Zheng took a deep breath and turned to Zhao Hai.”Mr. Zhao Hai, how are the people who attacked you?”
“Didn’t you see it just now?” Zhao Hai laughed. He has already become my servant.”
Even though they had expected this, they were still shocked to hear Zhao Hai explain it so clearly. “Sir, did that light magician become your servant as well?” kun asked, staring at Zhao Hai. Kun Zheng was knowledgeable, so he knew that it was very difficult for a light magician to turn into an undead. Even if they did, they could only turn into the lowest level of undead, and there was a high chance that they would fail. Could Zhao Hai have also turned the Level-8 light magician, qielan, into an undead? If qielan didn’t turn into an undead creature, how could his demon sealing scroll be in Zhao Hai’s hands?
Qielan was very famous on the continent. He was a level eight light Archmage, which made him very famous. He was also famous for his specialty in dealing with Black Mages. As long as he heard that there was a Black Mage there, he would definitely challenge them. As long as a Black Mage fought with him, it would be very difficult for them to survive. Therefore, in addition to his title as a light Archmage, qielan had another Name: Black Mage killer.
The reason why qielan could defeat so many Black Mages was not only because he was a level-eight light element Grand mage, but also because he had a magic sealing scroll. His magic sealing scroll was filled with light element magic, which was very advantageous for him in battles. Many Black Mages had died under his magic sealing scroll.
Zhao Hai smiled when he heard kun’s words. He turned to green and said, ” “Go and call Zhao Jia over.” &Quot; yes, ” answered Grimm. He turned around and left. Laura and kun looked at Zhao Hai in confusion.
Zhao Hai smiled and didn’t say anything. He picked up his cup of tea and took a sip. After a while, footsteps were heard and green walked in from the South. An undead creature followed behind him.
Kun Zheng and Laura were stunned when they saw the undead creature.
