Laura and the other two sat in the carriage, with Seyle and the others still following by the side. They had already left Rocky Mountain, but Laura and the others didn’t say anything.
After a long while, Laura opened the windows on both sides of the box and said to Thales, ” “Seyle, have you guys eaten?”
Seyle was stunned. He didn’t really understand what Laura meant. Although he was the leader of Laura’s guards, she had never cared about whether he had eaten or not. However, since she asked, he had to answer. He immediately nodded and said,”Miss, we have already eaten.”
“What did you eat?” Lola asked quickly.
Seyle couldn’t help but feel strange, but he still said, ” &Quot; the food was sent by Mr. Zhao Hai’s undead creatures. There are flatbread, rabbit meat, and a few vegetables, but I’ve never seen them before. &Quot;
“How does it taste?” Laura asked.
Sael nodded. &Quot; it’s delicious. And all the vegetables and meat they sent up seem to be magic vegetables. The magic power is very strong, stronger than ordinary vegetables. One of them seems to be a dish from the demonic radish. It’s several times stronger than the demonic radish in our shop. &Quot;
Lola nodded and rolled up the window. She turned to look at kun Zheng and said, ” “Grandpa kun Zheng, what do you think?”
Kun Zheng looked at Laura and said, ” he’s unfathomable. There must be a powerful force behind Zhao Hai. He should be a representative of this powerful force. However, I’m curious. Which powerful force on the continent would use this method to earn money? ” The things produced by those big forces all have their own sales network, so it shouldn’t be our turn. Could it be that they are specifically targeting us?”
Kun Zheng immediately shook his head and denied his own guess. &Quot; &Quot; that’s impossible. Right now, our enemies are at most the few heirs of the magadal family, but we can’t be considered their real enemies. After all, our current situation is too small. We’re nothing compared to the rest of the magadal family, so we can’t be considered as a threat to them. They can’t possibly send people to scheme against us like this. Moreover, the magadal family has not been able to get their hands on the huokuoyu, while Zhao Hai has a large number of them. It’s obvious that our enemies didn’t set him up just to deal with us. We’re not worth the enemy spending so much effort on us.”
Lola nodded and said, ” that’s right. From what Mr. Zhao Hai said, we can tell that he has a large territory. This territory can produce a large number of oilfruits, can raise fish, can set up ranches, and can even produce diced fish. I really can’t think of anyone else on the continent who has such a territory. Even if there is such a territory, it should have been occupied long ago. Why would Zhao Hai want to cooperate with us? ”
Kun Zheng furrowed his brows. &Quot; I can’t be sure. He said that he’s very knowledgeable about plants, and it doesn’t seem like he’s lying. If he didn’t do any research on plants, he wouldn’t have been able to produce that kind of demonic laixiang, let alone produce those vegetables that we’ve never seen before. Also, did you notice it during dinner today? ” They didn’t eat too much of that kind of Hunchback, even the servants were the same. Obviously, in their eyes, Hunchback wasn’t anything rare. Moreover, the blue-eyed rabbits they ate contained more than ten times the magic power of ordinary blue-eyed rabbits. As far as I know, there is only one way to raise such blue-eyed rabbits, which is to feed them with magic vegetables, and they must be the kind of high-quality magic vegetables with sufficient magic power. This means … He must have accidentally owned a territory that produces magic vegetables. He probably bought blue-eyed rabbits from Casar city to make breeding rabbits.”
Lola nodded and said, ” &Quot; I told him to form an alliance with the magicians, but he was unwilling. He was only willing to form an alliance with us. It doesn’t seem like he was targeting the magicians, nor us. His origin is so mysterious. It’s really strange. A powerful black magician like him should be a famous figure on the continent, but I’ve never heard of his faction. The strangest thing is that the warrior beside him doesn’t seem to be of a low level. That maidservant’s level doesn’t seem low either, and he can even turn a light magician into a high-level creature. This person has too many secrets, right?”
Kun Zheng nodded and said, ” &Quot; indeed, Zhao Hai has many secrets. The warrior beside him is around Level-8. Even if I were to fight him one-on-one, I would probably lose more than I would win. His maidservant is at least a Level-6 mage. Judging from the girl’s age, she’s definitely a genius in magic. His cook is also a mage, and her level is only higher than that of the girl. If he really has more than 1000 summoned undead creatures … &Quot; That means that Zhao Hai’s power is not small. In the Versailles Duchy, he can practically do whatever he wants.”
Lola frowned and said, ” no matter what, it seems that this Zhao Hai has no ill intentions towards us. We can do business with him. If he can really provide us with such good quality demonic LAIX, it will be very beneficial for us. As long as we are careful when doing business with him, it will be fine. After all, having such an ally is much better than having such an enemy. We also need such an ally. &Quot;
Kun Zheng nodded and said, ” I suspect that Zhao Hai’s identity can not be exposed. He is not just a black magician. There are many black magicians on the mainland, but there are only a few who don’t even remove their veils when eating. Zhao Hai did it. It is impossible that he did it because he is ugly. It must be because he is afraid of others seeing his face. &Quot;
&Quot; no matter who they are, it has nothing to do with us, ” Lola said with a smile. &Quot; we just need to know that they don’t have any hostility towards us. &Quot;
Kun Zheng let out a long breath and nodded. &Quot; &Quot; miss is right. No matter who he is, as long as he isn’t hostile to us, he can cooperate with us. But we still have to pay attention to this person. He hasn’t been in Rocky Mountain for long, but he was able to get so many hunchbacked fish. This in itself isn’t an easy task, not to mention that he was under the watch of so many eyes. He was able to transport the hunchbacked fish to Rocky Mountain without anyone noticing. This in itself shows his strength. He also has a spatial equipment in his hand, and he knows our whereabouts clearly. It seems that he should have arranged people in Casa City. This person is meticulous, so we must be careful.”
Laura nodded and said, ” don’t worry, Grandpa kun Zheng. I know what to do. However, I don’t think he will do anything to us. As long as we don’t go against him and continue to work with him, we will be fine. Moreover, Grandpa kun Zheng, you can see that Mr. Zhao Hai has a good impression of us. &Quot;
“That’s true. Hehe, I think he’s taken a fancy to you, miss.” Kun Zheng chuckled. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have wanted to work with us.”
Hearing kun’s words, Laura could not help but say, ” &Quot; what are you talking about, Grandpa kun Zheng? how could Mr. Zhao Hai possibly like me? besides, even if he does, I might not like him. He’s making himself look so mysterious and doesn’t even dare to show his face. &Quot;
Kun Zheng could not help but laugh out loud, which made Lola’s face even redder. Laura had a good impression of Zhao Hai. After all, Zhao Hai had saved her life. Additionally, he was so mysterious. Therefore, besides being grateful to him, Laura was also curious about him. When a woman was curious about a man, she was afraid that she would not be far from falling in love.
Laura and the others had already made up their minds to cooperate with Zhao Hai. If it was the patriarch of the magicdare family, he would never cooperate with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had too many secrets, and secrets meant trouble. Moreover, the strength that Zhao Hai had displayed wasn’t weak. Ordinary large families wouldn’t cooperate with people like him who hid their heads and showed their tails. They were afraid of being schemed against.
However, Laura wasn’t afraid. She didn’t have anything that was worthy of being schemed against by people of Zhao Hai’s level. Although the things that Zhao Hai had displayed were all from the space, Laura and the others didn’t know about the existence of the space. In their eyes, what Zhao Hai had displayed was his strength, a strength that didn’t lose to the magicians. With such strength, there was no need for him to scheme against a small figure like her. That was why she dared to cooperate with Zhao Hai.
At this time, Zhao Hai was also preparing for the cooperation with Laura. He had to prepare a few large empty rooms in the castle to be used as an oil press. He also had to tidy up the mine for raising blue-eyed rabbits. He also had to check with Merlin and the others to see if there were any Water-type magical beasts in the mountains and lakes.
The reason why Zhao Hai did not do anything in the past was because he did not have any money. Although he had obtained more than 1000 gold coins from qielan and the others, without a stable source of income, these gold coins would be spent sooner or later. Therefore, before Zhao Hai made the deal with Laura, he did not dare to touch these gold coins.
Now that he had formed an alliance with Laura, and the first sum of money would come in three days later, although it was not much, it was still a stable source of income. He believed that their income would increase in the future, so it was time to prepare for the things that he had not prepared before.
It was already afternoon when Zhao Hai and the others returned to the iron Mountain castle. The slaves were not idle either. A large number of them were repairing the castle, while the female slaves were planting oilfruit trees and alfaes on the hill. The iron Mountain was huge, and it was impossible for her to plant all the required plants in a short time. Even if she had planted all the plants, she could not just leave them be. Weeds were overgrown now, and she had to weed them out.
After Zhao Hai came back, he immediately arranged for people to tidy up the rooms. There were many large rooms in the outer Castle. Those rooms were originally warehouses of the castle, but they were abandoned after being left vacant for a long time. Now, they could be used as oil mills.
