Hearing this, Zhao Hai’s heart warmed. Although Fernande was impulsive and prideful, he was still quite considerate of his friends after they became friends. He saw that Zhao Hai and Ryan were not on good terms and was afraid that the Versailles family would take back his title because of Ryan. If that happened, it would be inconvenient for Zhao Hai to move around the continent. Therefore, Fernande gave Zhao Hai his family badge.
The badge of a noble was not something that anyone could use. Generally, only the immediate family members of the noble family could use it. Anyone who could use this badge had to report to the Empire and register.
Zhao Hai knew that it was impossible for Fernando to know about his relationship with Ivan. He was doing this for Zhao Hai’s own good. The badge of a noble was not to be used casually. There were many problems involved.
For example, if Zhao Hai used the icksa family’s badge to do something bad, the icksa family would be held accountable for it. If the Empire were to calculate the overall score, all of these things would be included.
This situation was different from Zhao Hai’s situation where Ivan gave him a title of nobility. Although Zhao Hai was responsible for Ivan, Zhao Hai had his own title and was an independent existence. If Zhao Hai made any mistakes, Ivan had the right to deal with him, and the Empire would not pursue the matter. It was completely different from using the family badge.
Zhao Hai took the badge and put it away carefully. Then he patted Fernande’s shoulder and said, ” &Quot; brother Fernando, you have to take care. If there’s anything important, you can write a letter and give it to the blood eagle I gave you. He will find me and give me the letter. &Quot;
Fernando nodded and gave Zhao Hai a tight hug. Zhao Hai returned the hug and then they let go. Zhao Hai turned around and bowed to Ibele, then turned around and got into the car. He waved at the two and left.
As Zhao Hai’s car disappeared into the distance, Ivan sighed, ” &Quot; this is an Eagle, and his heart is filled with the entire sky. &Quot;
Fernando smiled. &Quot; yes, this is an Eagle. It’s good to have such a friend. Uncle Ibel, let’s go to my house. Wales left me a lot of wine. Let’s go and have a drink. &Quot;
Ibel laughed. &Quot; forget it. An old man like me can’t drink with you. You can go back and drink slowly. I have to go deal with the accounts. &Quot;
Fernando chuckled. &Quot; you’re just like my father. You always have endless things to deal with. How boring. I’ll be leaving then. I’d better go back and drink some of the wine Wales left behind. &Quot; With that said, he got on the carriage and headed for the city.
Iber looked at Fernande and smiled bitterly. &Quot; “You’re living a carefree life, but I don’t know how long you can live that way.” With that said, he also got into the carriage and turned to leave.
Zhao Hai was sitting in the car, holding the badge that Fernando gave him. He was speechless for a long time, and then he sighed. To be honest, his first meeting with Fernando was not a happy one, but now it seemed that this friend was worth making.
Laura and the others had also heard the conversation between Zhao Hai and Fernande. They did not expect Fernande to be so loyal. Laura looked at the badge and said, ” “I really couldn’t tell that Fernande was such a temperamental person.”
Zhao Hai smiled and put away the badge. He took out a map and placed it on the table in the car. He looked at the mark on the map and said to Laura, ” &Quot; this mark is Ibel’s stronghold. I think we should arrange a time to send the milk wine to him as soon as possible. &Quot;
Lola nodded. They all looked at the map. It wasn’t bad. The map was very detailed. It clearly showed how far the tribe was from the icksa family’s iron cavalry fortress and the direction they were going in. The name of the tribe, the flag, and the name of their contact were also written clearly. They couldn’t have found the wrong place.
Zhao Hai looked at it and turned to Laura, ” “What do you guys think we should do now? I think we should send Eagle to bring the evil spirit staff over. When we reach the grassland, we can just send out the carriage and send the wine over. What do you guys think?”
Lola nodded and said, ” that’s for the best. We won’t attract attention, but we can’t just use the undead creatures. I think it’s better to send someone. How about thousand shadows? ”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; that’s good. Let’s let thousand shadows go. They need to go back to the origin space to rest at night anyway. It’s not a long journey. &Quot;
After the discussion, Zhao Hai called Xu Wanying into the car and told him about it. Xu Wanying didn’t have any interest in it. Although it was cold, he had been to the grassland before. This time, he wouldn’t be there for long. He could come back as soon as he finished his business, so he naturally agreed.
Without Ryan’s knowledge, an Eagle had already soared into the sky and was flying in the direction of the Prairie. They were still very close to the Prairie, so the Eagle reached the Prairie in more than two hours.
Zhao Hai immediately let the carriages out. There were ten carriages in total, and each of them was filled with wine bags. The total amount of wine was exactly 11000 pounds. Xu Wanying then went to the grassland through the realm and took over the carriages. He then headed to Ibel’s stronghold.
Zhao Hai had discovered the benefit of having Cai ‘er. With Cai’ er, he could almost release the evil spirit staff. It was as if he had two evil spirit staffs. He could release one of them, and he still had one in his hand.
The day passed by in a boring way. Soon, they spent the night in a small city. This time, they did not encounter any trouble. Ruien was well-behaved and did not even bother Zhao Hai and the others.
Zhao Hai couldn’t say anything. He wouldn’t mind if Ryan followed him. Although Zhao Hai wanted to leave, he felt bad when he thought about Yi Wan’s letter. He had no choice.
The next three days were peaceful. On the third day, Xu Wanying found the tribe and the person mentioned by Ebel. He handed the milk wine to the person.
However, Xu Wanying did not get the money this time. He had to wait until next month. This was also what Zhao Hai had agreed with Ibele. After sending the things over, Xu Wanying returned. Although Xu Wanying had disappeared for a few days, Ryan and the others did not say anything. Now, Zhao Hai and Ryan barely talked. Everyone just kept their heads down and hurried on their journey. Everything was fine.
After walking for about half a month, they had arrived at the center of the Arkas Empire. Zhao Hai was even more careful here. He would only travel every day. Even if they passed by a big city, they would not stop for long. They would only stay for one night before leaving.
Zhao Hai had thought that Rui En would want to stay in the city for two days, but he did not expect her to be able to hold it in. She followed Zhao Hai’s car silently, which made Zhao Hai a little uneasy.
This time, Zhao Hai and the others did not plan to go to the capital of the Arkas Empire. That was where Zhao Hai had stayed in the past. There were too many people who knew Zhao Hai well. Although the evil spirit staff could help him put on makeup, he did not go there to be careful.
After walking for another ten days or so, they finally arrived at the border between the Arkas Empire and the Roson Empire, the Kelan mountains.
The Karan mountains was the largest mountain range on the continent. This mountain range stretched across almost the entire continent and was the horizon between the Arkas Empire and the Roson Empire. It was like the blackdirt wastelands and the Duchy of Versailles, only connected by a Canyon. This Canyon was the only road connecting the Roson Empire and the Duchy of Versailles, and it was jokingly called the lifeline by people.
However, unlike the situation in the blackdirt wastelands, in the Karan mountains, in addition to this lifeline, there were many small roads on the mountain. These small roads were used by merchants to smuggle goods. Every day, many horse gangs would pass through these small roads to cross the mountain to enter the Arkas Empire or the Roson Empire.
Zhao Hai and the others had some understanding of this situation, but they had never thought of crossing the mountain and taking the small path. They were planning to take the main road into the Roson Empire.
In this case, they could only go through the lifeline. If they went through the lifeline, they would have to pass through two fortresses on both sides of the lifeline. One was the cold wind fortress in the Arkas Empire, and the other was the hundred battle fortress in the Roson Empire.
Zhao Hai was prepared to rest at Hanfeng fortress for two days before setting off. After traveling for so many days, they needed a good rest.
The cold wind fortress was huge. It was 200 feet high and made of limestone. There were six gates in the north and south. The widest gate was more than 20 meters wide and 10 meters tall. The smaller gate was 12 meters wide and 8 meters tall. The gate was made of Ironwood and raw iron, which was very strong.
There were 100000 troops stationed here all year round. These troops were the famous magical beast Cavalry Regiment in the Arkas Empire. The cavalry used in this Regiment were all captured from the Kelan mountains. There were countless magical beasts in the Kelan mountains, and it was said that there were even ninth-grade magical beasts, but no one had ever seen them.
It was precisely because there were so many magical beasts in the Kelan mountains that it was difficult for an ordinary large Army to cross the mountains. The Kelan mountains had become the sky barrier between the Arkas Empire and the Roson Empire.
Cold wind fortress was a paradise for mercenaries and adventurers. Every day, countless adventurers and mercenaries would set out or come here. This was also a city of chaos. The guards at cold wind fortress almost never maintained the peace. They were stationed here for only two purposes: to prevent the invasion of the Roson Empire, and to collect taxes.
Zhao Hai and the others entered the cold wind fortress in a very low-key manner. He had to be low-key because the cold wind fortress was under the rule of the southern King. They were now in the territory of the enemy.
There was also a Sheila hotel in Hanfeng fortress. Of course, Zhao Hai and the others would rest in the hotel. It was safer to rest in a big hotel like the Sheila hotel in such a place. If they were to go to other hotels, they might run into unscrupulous people.
After a night’s rest in the hotel, Zhao Hai did not hurry on his journey the next day. Instead, he went to the bookstore in cold wind fortress to buy a map of the Rossen Empire and some miscellaneous books about the Empire.
