Zhao Hai still didn’t understand why Ivan was looking for him. It was only because of Ryan. It was a bit of a loss. Ivan wouldn’t look for him because of such a small matter, but Zhao Hai wasn’t sure what it was.
At this moment, the servant who had entered the room to report had already walked out. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Please, Mr. Wells. The Grand Duke is waiting for you inside.” Zhao Hai nodded and led the two girls in.
Nothing changed in Ivan’s study room. She was waiting for Zhao Hai and the other two in the lounge. Led by the servant, Zhao Hai and the other two came to her and bowed to her, ” “Greetings, your grace.”
Ivan looked up at Zhao Hai and frowned. He didn’t like Zhao Hai’s outfit, but he nodded and said, ” “Mr. Weyers, please take a seat.”
Zhao Hai thanked him and sat across from him. Laura and meg stood behind him. They were both wearing veils, so Ivan only took a glance at them and didn’t pay them any attention. However, his impression of Zhao Hai worsened.
The servant poured Zhao Hai a cup of cocoa. Ivan then said, ” “I’ve taken the liberty to invite you here today because I have something to ask you.”
“Please speak your mind, great Duke. I will definitely tell you everything I know,” Zhao Hai said hurriedly.
“I heard you have friends in the orc prairies?” Ivan asked with a smile.
Zhao Hai was stunned for a moment. Then, he immediately remembered that he had indeed said that to Ryan, so he did not deny it. He only said, ” “Yes, I won’t hide it from you, Grand Duke. I have some business dealings with some tribes in the orc grassland. We can be considered friends.”
&Quot; I’m not sure, ” Ivan nodded. &Quot; have you heard anything about the black magician in the orc prairies? ”
Zhao Hai and Lola were stunned. They immediately understood that Ivan didn’t ask them to come for Ryan, but for him.
When they had left Kass city, they had bought a lot of resources needed for the orc prairies. Anyone with eyes knew that they had gone to the orc prairies, so if they heard that he had friends there with his current identity, they would immediately invite him over to ask about them.
However, Zhao Hai only frowned and said, ” “Black magician? This one has never heard of this, but the great Duke also knows that the orc Plains are too big, and this one’s area of activity is only a small area, so I have never heard of black magicians moving around in the orc Plains.”
Ivan was obviously disappointed, but he nodded. &Quot; “Then forget it, but I still want to ask Sir for a favor. If Sir goes to the grasslands in the future, please help me pay attention to the news of a black magician and a lady called Laura.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” that’s not a problem. It’s just something along the way. However, may I be so presumptuous as to ask the Grand Duke why you’re looking for information about these two people? ” If these two have offended the great Duke, I can discuss with my friend and fund the arrest of these two people.”
Zhao Hai said that on purpose to see Ivan’s reaction. Ivan was stunned for a second before he smiled. &Quot; “Sir, you have misunderstood. Those two did not offend me. On the contrary, they are my friends. However, due to some matters, they went to the orc grasslands to do business and we lost contact. I just want to know their news.”
Zhao Hai came to a sudden realization and laughed embarrassedly, ” “I have misunderstood your grace. So they are your friends. Please rest assured, your grace. I will definitely keep an eye out for them. Please tell me their names.”
Ivan smiled. &Quot; good. The black magician is called Zhao Hai. The other one is Laura. She used to be a member of the magicians. I hope you can help me keep an eye out for her. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; you’re too kind, Grand Duke. This is just something I can do in passing. I’ll ask my orc friends to help you. &Quot;
&Quot; I’ll have to trouble you then, Sir, ” Ivan said with a smile. &Quot; when you’re in the Duchy of Versailles in the future, please come to the Grand Duke’s mansion. I’m quite impressed with young talents like you. &Quot;
Zhao Hai chuckled. &Quot; you flatter me, Grand Duke. I only run a small business. I’m just trying to make a living. I don’t deserve to be called a hero, Grand Duke. &Quot;
Zhao Hai pretended to look at the sky and said to Ivan,”It’s getting late, I’ll take my leave now. I still have to travel tomorrow, please forgive me, Grand Duke.” He stood up as he spoke.
&Quot; please, ” Ivan said with a smile. &Quot; I’m really sorry to have troubled you today. &Quot; Ivan also stood up to see Zhao Hai out. However, as soon as he stood up, his eyes fell on Laura and meg. Both of them were wearing veils, but they were wearing light veils. Ivan was stunned when he saw their faces.
Zhao Hai’s eyes lit up as he looked at Laura and meg carefully. He had a bad feeling about Ivan’s expression, and it seemed like he had seen through something.
“Grand Duke, please hold on. I’ll take my leave,” he said immediately. As he was about to lead Laura and the others out of the room, Ivan looked at him carefully. He was stunned for a moment before he shouted, ” “Sir, please wait.”
Zhao Hai stopped and turned to look at Ivan. Ivan looked at Zhao Hai carefully and his eyes flashed with joy. He turned to the servant and said, ” &Quot; you may leave first. Pass down the order that no one is allowed to approach my study. &Quot;
The servant responded and turned around, closing the door at the same time. Zhao Hai was complaining inside. He knew Ivan must have found something.
As soon as the servant left, Ivan walked to the door and looked outside carefully. He then turned to look at Zhao Hai with a strange look. Zhao Hai looked at Ivan with confusion and asked, ” “What other orders does the Grand Duke have?”
Ivan looked at Zhao Hai and sighed, ” “Kid, stop pretending. Do you really think that I can’t recognize you after not seeing you for so many years? Even if I can’t recognize you, how can I not recognize meg? You don’t know yet, but your father gave me a portrait of you. If you weren’t dressed like this, I would have recognized you long ago.”
Zhao Hai was stunned. He knew that he had been exposed when Ivan called meg by her name, but he didn’t expect Ivan to be so sharp.
Ivan looked at Zhao Hai curiously and asked, ” “I just don’t understand why Lola is with you. Laura, what’s going on?”
Laura was also shocked. She didn’t expect Ivan to recognize her. She took off her veil and looked at Ivan in confusion, ” “Uncle Ivan, how did you recognize me?”
Meg also took off her veil. Although Zhao Hai didn’t do anything, he looked at Ivan carefully. Ivan didn’t answer Laura’s question. Instead, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Adam, why are you with Laura? What’s going on?”
Zhao Hai finally gave up after hearing what Ivan said. It seemed like Ivan had recognized him. He sighed and said, ” “Greetings, uncle Ivan. I’ve changed my name to Zhao Hai, Buda. Usually, I’m Zhao Hai.”
Ivan’s eyes widened as he looked at Zhao Hai,”Zhao Hai, you said you’re Zhao Hai? The black magician Zhao Hai?”
“Yes, I am the black magician Zhao Hai who appeared in the Duchy of Versailles a while ago,” Zhao Hai nodded.
Ivan looked at Zhao Hai in disbelief, ” “How is that possible? That’s impossible! Didn’t you drink the water of the void? How can he still use black magic?”
Zhao Hai looked at Ivan and said, ” uncle Ivan, I drank the water of nothingness. Although the water of nothingness can prevent people from learning magic and battle energy, it can also prevent people from using special techniques. After I drank the water of nothingness, I obtained a special technique that can imitate black magicians. &Quot
