Chapter 307: One of his own (1)
Translator: 549690339
Iber’s appearance was an accident. Laura and Iber had worked together before, but they didn’t go too deep. They had never met each other and had only heard of each other’s names.
The main reason why Laura didn’t have a deep cooperation with Iber was that Iber didn’t have a good reputation among the humans.
According to all the rumors, Laura knew that this Ybel was the same as Sovann. They would do anything to achieve their goals. It was because of this personality that Sovann allowed the magicider family to become a famous business family on the continent. Ybel also used various means to become the largest grain merchant and daily necessities merchant in the territory of the Issac family.
It was precisely because of this that Laura hated Ibel so much. That was why she didn’t have much of a working relationship with him.
Zhao Hai sat in his tent, watching the surveillance camera. It was showing the situation at Ebel’s place. Ebel was living in a tent not far from them. It was obvious that this tent had been specially built by King XI Qi and the others for human merchants. All human merchants would stay here.
After hearing about Ibel’s personality, Zhao Hai knew that he would be a difficult person to deal with. Hence, he focused all his attention on Ibel.
There were many experts among the people who had come with Ibel. Ibel was only a Grade 6 warrior, but he had two grade 8 Warriors, a Grade 7 Black magician, five Grade 7 Warriors, and 20 Grade 6 Warriors. There were also 500 Warriors of Grade 5 and below.
The strength of such a small team was definitely not to be underestimated. On the surface, this small team’s strength was much stronger than Zhao Hai’s team.
However, Zhao Hai and the others were not worried that Ibel would cause trouble for them. They would not dare to do so. They were on the orc grasslands, where everything was decided by the orcs. If they caused trouble here, it would be equivalent to slapping the orcs in the face. They would not agree to it.
Zhao Hai knew that he was quite important to the orcs now. He had sold food to the orcs at a low price and helped them buy their daily necessities at a low price. All of this made the orcs feel very good about him. If Gabel dared to cause him trouble now, he would definitely die an ugly death.
However, Ebel did not do anything. Zhao Hai was still very friendly. Zhao Hai felt uncomfortable when he thought of Ebel’s chubby face. He thought of a phrase, ” a Smiling Tiger. &Quot; In Zhao Hai’s eyes, Iber was a Smiling Tiger.
Because of this, Zhao Hai paid special attention to Eber. Since King Sichi was not going to do anything, Zhao Hai decided to focus on Eber. He wanted to see how Eber would deal with him.
Zhao Hai’s grain team was about to enter the camp for the fourth time. By then, Ibel would want to deal with him even more.
On the screen, Eber was sitting quietly in the tent. He was holding a glass of fruit wine and there were fruits in front of him. It was rare to see fruits on the grass. Zhao Hai took a closer look and realized that the fruits were frozen. He didn’t think that Eber had any invisible storage equipment.
There was a man sitting in front of Ebel. Zhao Hai and Laura had never seen this man before. He was dressed like a servant and looked very unremarkable. He looked to be in his 30s, but he had a weathered face. He gave off the feeling that he was just an ordinary coachman.
“Laura, do you know this person?” Zhao Hai turned to Laura and asked.
Lola shook her head. &Quot; I don’t know him. Maybe he’s one of Ebel’s men of sacrifice. &Quot;
At this moment, Iber spoke. He said to the man in a deep voice, ” “How’s the investigation going?”
The man bowed to Gabel and said, ” I’ve confirmed it. It’s Zhao Hai and Laura. They are not imposters. The grain they bought for the orcs is the peach blossom rice. It’s only half the price of our grain. &Quot;
Holding the glass, Ibel sighed and said, ” &Quot; what a waste. Even if the peach blossom rice was sold on the mainland, it wouldn’t be much cheaper than here. It’s such a pity. Those B * stards from the Church of Light and that idiot Southern King should die immediately. &Quot;
The man then said to Ibel, ” the Arkas Empire is still investigating Zhao Hai’s background, but it’s a mess. They can’t find anything. We can only be sure that Zhao Hai might come from a large noble family, has a spatial item in his hands, and is a very powerful black magician. We can’t find anything else. &Quot;
Ibel nodded. &Quot; that’s normal. You can tell from Zhao Hai’s way of doing things. He doesn’t want people to notice him, but sometimes, he does things that people can’t ignore. How should I put it? it should be called low-key arrogance. To be honest, I quite like this person. If it wasn’t for my bad reputation, my achievements wouldn’t be limited to this. Oh right, did anyone disappear in the Alliance? ”
The servant suddenly laughed. &Quot; there was only one message from the Alliance. It was one of our own! &Quot;
Ibel was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. &Quot; I knew that the old guys in the Alliance would not let Zhao Hai, who is so powerful and specifically against the Church of Light, go free. They will definitely pull him into the Alliance. Good, it’s good that he’s one of us. Hehe, maybe I need to talk to him about cooperation. &Quot;
The servant looked at Ibel and said, ” “Will he believe you?”
“I have this,” said Ibel with a smile. After saying that, he took out a small badge. It was the identification badge of the black magician Alliance.
Zhao Hai and Laura were both stunned. They never thought that the successful merchant, Ebel, would be a member of the black magician Alliance. This really surprised Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai turned to look at Laura, then smiled, ” &Quot; the Alliance’s strength can’t be underestimated. It’s surprising that a successful merchant like Ebel is a member of the Alliance. &Quot;
Lola smiled. &Quot; that’s right. What a surprise. Should we go and meet him? since he’s from the Alliance, we can ask him about the bullfighting race. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and stood up, ” “Let’s go and see him.” After saying that, he walked out, closely followed by Laura and the other two.
Never in his wildest dreams would Ibel have thought that what he had just said would be heard by Zhao Hai and the others. Furthermore, Zhao Hai had already taken action before he had.
As Iber was discussing with his most trusted subordinate when they should meet Zhao Hai, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the door. &Quot; “Master, Mr. Zhao Hai has brought Ms. Laura, Ms. Meg, and Ms. Nier to see you,”
Taken aback, Ebel turned to look at his servant and said, ” “They came here first, but why do you think they came?”
The man shook his head. &Quot; I can’t guess. Master, you’ll know when you see it. &Quot; Ibel nodded and immediately said, ” “Quickly invite him in.” The servant outside the door responded and turned around to invite people.
At this moment, Ibel stood up and was ready to welcome Zhao Hai. Just then, the tent flap was lifted and Zhao Hai and Laura walked in. Seeing Zhao Hai enter, Ibel immediately smiled and said,”Mr. Zhao Hai’s presence is truly a surprise.”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s my fault for disturbing your rest. I’ll apologize for that. &Quot; He then bowed to Iber.
&Quot; you’re too kind, Sir, ” Iber said hurriedly. &Quot; it’s my honor that you could come. Please have a seat, Sir. &Quot; After Zhao Hai sat down, the servant who had spoken to him immediately walked forward and poured a glass of fruit wine for Zhao Hai and Li Lan. He then took out a plate of fruit and placed it on the table in front of them.
Zhao Hai smiled and turned to look at the two servants standing in front of the tent. He then turned to Ibel and said, ” “Mr. Iber, I have something important to tell you. Can you ask them to leave first?” Zhao Hai glanced at the two servants standing in front of the tent.
Ebel was stunned for a moment. He looked at Zhao Hai and nodded. The servant who had been talking to him waved at the two people standing at the door. The two servants bowed and left.
After the two servants left, Zhao Hai turned to Ibele and said, ” “I’ve come to see you this time because I want to show you something.” With a flip of his hand, the badge of the black magician Alliance appeared in his hand.
Ibel did not expect Zhao Hai to show him the badge. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhao Hai deeply and laughed.”Teacher, you are indeed impressive. You actually knew my identity so quickly.” After saying that, he also took out his own badge. The two of them looked at each other and laughed.
The two of them only managed to calm down after a while. Jabell looked at Zhao Hai and said,”I really didn’t expect you to know my identity so quickly. How did you know?”
“I just found out,” Zhao Hai smiled,”have you been working with King XI Qi for a long time? Other than King XI Qi, do you have any other cooperation?”
Ebel was stunned. He looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and asked, ” “What do you mean? Mr. Zhao Hai, is there anything I can help you with?”
Zhao Hai nodded, ” “Mr. Iber, I’ll be honest with you. The current leader of the herculean bull tribe, the former seventh Prince of the herculean bull tribe, Wells, is my brother. The reason I’m still active in the grasslands is to help Brother Wells investigate the bullfighting tribe. However, you know that this is my first year here, so I’m not able to collect information here. I wanted to ask you if you have any information on this.”
Ibel looked at Zhao Hai in shock. The news that Zhao Hai had brought was too shocking. He had never heard of any orc willing to make a blood oath with a human. Zhao Hai had done it in his first year in the orc prairies. This was too shocking.
