Aurora didn’t let him down. After he arrived in Kass city, he took action. Of course, his actions couldn’t be hidden from Laura. It was obvious that he didn’t want to hide it from her. However, Aurora was surprised by his first stop. His first stop was the Duke’s mansion.
Laura didn’t expect that the Duke’s mansion would be his first stop. However, she felt that it was reasonable.
No matter what, oroga was currently representing Carlo, one of the heirs of the magicdare family. Furthermore, he had a higher chance of becoming the head of the family than Kelun. Since oroga was representing him, it was only natural for him to pay a visit to Grand Duke Ivan.
However, Laura was still cautious. She didn’t think that it was a simple matter for oroga to visit Grand Duke Ivan. Everyone on the continent knew that she had helped the Versailles family and Grand Duke Ivan a lot. It could be said that Grand Duke Ivan was her backer. If they wanted to touch her, they would have to deal with her backer first.
Obviously, oroga was here for the products of paradise, which were the most important things in Laura’s possession. She couldn’t let go of them. If she wanted to get her hands on the products, she had to use some tricks. However, in the Versailles Duchy, if she wanted to use tricks on Laura, she had to first deal with Grand Duke Ivan. Even if she couldn’t get Grand Duke Ivan to help her, she couldn’t let him protect her.
Laura immediately thought of this as soon as she saw him going to the Duke’s mansion. However, she couldn’t stop him. After all, he was officially going to visit Grand Duke Ivan.
This was an open scheme by them. Even if Laura knew about it, she couldn’t do anything about it. However, she didn’t want to stop them. She just wanted to see how far they could go. If they could really convince Grand Duke yiwan, she would be very disappointed.
However, Laura wasn’t worried at all. Even if oroga managed to convince Grand Duke Ivan, Grand Duke Ivan wouldn’t protect her anymore. She still had Zhao Hai. If Laura’s trust in Grand Duke Ivan was ten, then her trust in Zhao Hai would be a hundred.
Although Laura didn’t stop him from meeting with Grand Duke Ivan, she still kept an even tighter watch on him. Since he dared to do something so bold, he must have gotten Carlo’s approval. However, this was the Versailles Duchy, Laura’s territory. She wasn’t afraid of him causing trouble.
Grand Duke Ivan didn’t let Laura down. After hearing about it, he sent someone to warn her that it seemed like he had the intention to deal with her. He told her that he had gone to his city to find out what he wanted to do. He had already told him that if he dared to touch Laura, it would be the same as touching him.
This was a serious matter. Although the magicians were powerful, the Versailles family wasn’t weak either. The magicians were only a business family, while the Versailles family had their own dukedom. Ivan had told orroca that if they dared to touch Laura, it would be the same as touching him. This wasn’t something an Archduke could say easily, and there was no way to change it once he said it. An Archduke had to have his own dignity. How could they rule over a duchy?
Laura didn’t think that Grand Duke Ivan would give her so much face. With his words, even if Carlo and the others wanted to touch her, they would have to think twice.
However, Laura didn’t think that oroga would give up so easily. After being rejected by Grand Duke Ivan, they would probably think of something else. There was only one way, and that was to start with Zhao Hai.
At the thought of this, Laura couldn’t sit still any longer. She immediately ordered the carriage to be prepared and asked kun to send someone to thank the Duke’s mansion. It wasn’t a good time for her to thank the Duke’s mansion in person, so she could only send someone to thank Ivan. After the arrangements were made, Laura led Nier straight to Rocky Mountain.
Laura’s trip to Rocky Mountain wasn’t because she didn’t trust Zhao Hai, but because she wanted to give him a heads up. She knew that Zhao Hai didn’t like to be disturbed, and he had too many secrets. If she didn’t give him a heads up and allowed him to visit, Zhao Hai wouldn’t be polite to her.
Although Laura didn’t like him, she didn’t want Zhao Hai to do anything to him. After all, he represented Carlo. If Zhao Hai offended Carlo, it would be troublesome.
As soon as Laura left Casar city, Zhao Hai received the news. Although his attention had been focused on the corpse swamp for the past few days, he had not slacked in his surveillance of Casar city. In addition, Zhao Zui and the others had returned from the corpse swamp. He had more than enough manpower, and his surveillance of Casar city was even stricter.
Zhao Hai, green, and the others were all in the boundless space. Thus, when Zhao Hai received the news that Laura was coming, he immediately informed green. Green frowned and said, ” &Quot; I wonder why Miss Laura is here this time. As we’re still too weak in Kass city, we can’t report what happened in Kass city in time. It’s very disadvantageous for us. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” we have no choice. We don’t have any available manpower now. It’s not a good thing to let ye Wuying and the others stay in Casa City for a long time. After all, they are undead creatures. It will be troublesome if they are discovered. &Quot;
Grimm nodded and frowned. &Quot; “With our current status, it’s not convenient for us to establish our own forces. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if we are discovered. The problem of manpower is really a big problem.”
Zhao Hai also frowned. The faster they developed, the more they would find the problem of insufficient manpower. Those slaves could not be used. After all, they were slaves. If they were asked to go to Casa City to help gather information, they might be captured as escaped slaves. Undead creatures were undead creatures after all, and it would be troublesome if they were discovered.
Most importantly, ye Wuying and the others were zombies now, and their appearance was not much different from their original appearance. If they were allowed to stay in Casar city for a long time, they might be discovered by the forces they were originally in, and it would be more troublesome.
Zhao Hai was still very afraid of the force that ye Wuying and the others used to be in. That force was too big, and it didn’t only have assassins like ye Wuying, but also light mages like qielan. Zhao Hai didn’t want to have a direct conflict with such a force.
Seeing Zhao Hai frowning, Gelin thought that he was still worried about the lack of manpower. He quickly said, ” &Quot; young master, how about this, this time when Miss Laura comes, we’ll give her a magical beast Eagle and ask her to tell us about the situation in Kasa city every few days. This way, not only will we know about the situation in Kasa city, but we’ll also strengthen our connection with Miss Laura. What do you think? ”
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded, ” &Quot; this is a good idea. Now that there are more than a thousand magical beast Eagles in the space, I’ll give a few to Miss Laura. This way, not only can we strengthen the connection, but we can also let Miss Laura have a few more magical beasts, which will also guarantee her safety. &Quot;
Green chuckled. &Quot; young master really does care about Miss Laura. Young master, why don’t you try to see what Miss Laura is thinking? if she really is interested in you, why don’t you settle the matter with her? what do you think? ”
Zhao Hai did not expect green to bring this up. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.”Grandpa Green, haven’t we made an agreement? there’s no need to hurry. Besides, we don’t know what Ms. Laura means. If we tell her rashly and she doesn’t mean it, it would be very embarrassing when we meet in the future.”
Grimm thought for a while and didn’t say anything. However, he kept this thought in mind. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would definitely try it.
Zhao Hai knew what green was thinking with one look at Green’s expression. He could only smile wryly and did not say anything else. He knew that this kind of thing would only make things worse.
Not long after, Laura arrived. Zhao Hai, green, Merlin, and meg also came out of the space. After all, she had seen them before. If she came and suddenly didn’t see them, she would be suspicious.
After inviting Laura to sit down in the living room, Zhao Hai looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked, ” “Miss Laura, what’s your business here? Did something happen in Casar city?”
Laura quickly smiled. &Quot; no, nothing happened in Casar city. I came here this time for my own business. &Quot;
Zhao Hai looked at Laura in confusion and asked,”for your matter?” What’s the matter, Miss Laura?”
Lola smiled bitterly as she explained the situation with oroga. At the same time, she also shared her various guesses. Finally, she said to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; Sir, this time, oroga might come and disturb you. I’m just here to say hello in advance. &Quot;
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, ” Miss Laura, please go back and tell that orlgar guy that I don’t like to see people. Tell him not to disturb me. Even if he comes, I won’t meet him. Tell him to give up. &Quot;
Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Laura became even happier. However, she still gave a bitter smile and said, ” &Quot; I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to stop him. To tell you the truth, Sir, although my fifth uncle usually looks very easy-going, I heard from my father that since he was young, he has always gotten what he wanted. Even if he can’t get it, he will destroy it and not let others get it. This time, he sent someone here, and I’m afraid that he won’t leave so easily. That’s why I came to inform you. &Quot;
“If they really don’t know what’s good for them, then don’t blame me for being impolite,” Zhao Hai said with a frown.
Lola was afraid of this result and quickly said, ” &Quot; this time, Laura came here to talk to Sir about this matter. Sir, my fifth uncle is much stronger than me. If oroga really comes to disturb you, you can just ignore him. It’s best if you don’t get into a conflict with him. Consider it giving Laura face. &Quot;
