Chapter 375: Guessing her identity (1)
Translator: 549690339
&Quot; black magic, Weyers, the plains … &Quot; Ryan frowned and muttered, ” do you guys know what’s the connection between these? ”
Ghillie’s heart skipped a beat as he looked at Ryan. &Quot; &Quot; Your Highness, if there’s any connection, it could only be Zhao Hai! &Quot;
Ryan was stunned. Then, he looked at Gilly in shock and said, ” “You’re talking about that Zhao Hai from Rocky Mountain? I heard that he’s a Black Mage who likes to turn people into undead creatures.”
Ji Li nodded and said, ” &Quot; yes, Your Highness. Think about it. Weyers knows black magic, but he has never used it. He came from the grasslands. I heard that when Zhao Hai and Laura left, they bought many things that the orcs needed. It seems like they were going to do business in the grasslands. Also, after they had a conflict with us, the Duke invited them to the manor and gave him the title of nobility. This means that the Duke knew him from before. Put all these things together. Your Highness, do you think he looks like Zhao Hai?”
Hearing Lucky’s words, Ryan realized that Zhao Hai was indeed similar. Her face turned pale. More importantly, Zhao Hai’s reputation in the Versailles Duchy was too great. Ryan knew that Zhao Hai had killed more than 1000 people and all of them became undead creatures. How could he not be afraid?
Ruien suddenly thought of the tall woman beside Zhao Hai. She felt a sense of familiarity. Moreover, Zhao Hai’s attitude toward those women was not like how a noble young master would treat his servants and concubines. After hearing what Ji Li had said, ruien was almost certain that the tall woman was Laura.
Ryan suddenly stood up and muttered, ” “So it’s them. No wonder, no wonder they weren’t afraid when facing 5000 cavalrymen. This Zhao Hai is too strong. Why did father ask us to go with him?”
Ghillie looked at Ryan and calmly said, ” &Quot; Your Highness, I believe the Duke knows that Zhao Hai is here to handle some matters, so he asked him to take care of us along the way. Your Highness, you don’t have to worry. &Quot;
Jili was not like a rich lady like Ryan. He had a different perspective on the situation. He did not fear Zhao Hai because he had heard that Zhao Hai had never killed anyone casually. The people he killed were those who wanted to kill him. Furthermore, he was the one who had helped when the food shortage was in effect in the Versailles Duchy. Such a person could not possibly be a bad person.
He also knew that Ryan was so afraid because he had plotted against Zhao Hai before. She was afraid of Zhao Hai’s revenge, but Jili wasn’t too worried. Zhao Hai would let the past go for the sake of Duke Ivan. However, if Ryan offended Zhao Hai again in the future, it would be hard to say. Black magicians were famous for being temperamental. But now it seemed that Ryan would not dare to offend Zhao Hai again.
Ryan stopped and said, ” it seems so. Oh my God, Father is really too much. He actually wants me to follow this demon. Hurry to Carson City. I don’t want to become an undead creature. Alright, you two can go back. We still have to hurry on our journey tomorrow. &Quot; Ghillie and gunsha responded and turned to leave.
Ruien lay on the bed for a long time, unable to fall asleep. To be honest, she was a little afraid of Zhao Hai. Although she did not believe the rumors in the Versailles Duchy, the Versailles family had tried to deal with Zhao Hai in the beginning. At that time, her grandfather was still in power, so he was very clear about the situation in Zhao Hai’s place. None of the people who went to deal with Zhao Hai had returned alive. She was very clear about the methods Zhao Hai used to deal with his enemies.
Just as Ji Li had thought, she was afraid that Zhao Hai would take revenge on her. She had caused Zhao Hai a lot of trouble in the room before.
At first, ruien had wanted to wait until they had settled down in Carson City before dealing with Zhao Hai. She was not stupid at all. She knew that this was her first time going out and that she needed someone to take care of her. Therefore, she had been very cooperative with Zhao Hai recently and had been very honest. She had not caused any trouble for Zhao Hai. However, things were different now. Now that she knew Zhao Hai’s identity, she did not dare to make a move.
Ruien had never thought of exposing Zhao Hai’s identity. In her opinion, this move might work in the Arkas Empire. She knew that Zhao Hai and the others had retreated because they had offended the southern King. However, they were now in the Luo sen Empire. No matter how powerful the southern King was in the Arkas Empire, he could not control the Luo sen Empire. Even if she exposed Zhao Hai’s identity now, it would be useless. It would only make Zhao Hai more eager to deal with her.
Zhao Hai and the others didn’t feel anything today. Although they had eliminated 5000 cavalrymen, they had seen too many of such situations. Although it might lead to the Ryan family’s revenge, they weren’t afraid of them. Moreover, the 5000 cavalrymen were missing and there were no corpses left at the scene. They believed that those people wouldn’t be able to use their official power to deal with them. This way, Zhao Hai didn’t have to worry.
The next morning, after Zhao Hai and the others had breakfast, they continued to travel slowly. They were not worried at all. Moreover, the road was not as empty as it was the day before. There were many people on the road, which made Zhao Hai and the others feel more at ease.
The situation was peaceful here, but the situation at the hundred battle fortress wasn’t. The hundred battle fortress wasn’t under Duke Ryan’s control. However, Duke Ryan’s influence in the Rosen Empire was great, so the people in the hundred battle fortress wanted to take this opportunity to help Duke Ryan deal with the people in Sheila hotel. Duke Ryan was a generous person. He had never treated those who helped him unfairly. In the eyes of the guards in the hundred battle fortress, they were doing Duke Ryan a favor. Duke Ryan owed them a favor and would be rewarded. They could not find a way to do that, so they found an excuse to deal with the Sheila hotel.
However, they had not expected to provoke a level-seven three-elemental mage. This was no small matter for them.
However, they soon heard that the magician seemed to be very familiar with the people from Sheila hotel. This made the defenders hate Zhao Hai. Just as Zhao Hai and the others had thought, the defenders thought that Zhao Hai was specially invited by Sheila hotel to embarrass them. After asking around, they found out that Zhao Hai was leaving the hundred battle fortress for Carson City the next day. Thus, they were prepared to kill Zhao Hai on the way.
However, the night had passed and they did not see the cavalrymen return. When they sent people to the scene to take a look, although they found traces of the cavalrymen running, the cavalrymen had disappeared.
Five thousand cavalrymen was not a small number. These five thousand cavalrymen would be a big force wherever they went. Even the Lord of the hundred battle fortress would not have the authority to mobilize five thousand cavalrymen unless it was time for war. Now, they had suddenly disappeared. This was too terrifying.
The garrison of the hundred battle fortress panicked. If it were any other place, it would still be reasonable for 5000 soldiers to be transferred away. But where was this place? This was the hundred battle fortress, the backbone of the Empire. The Roson Empire had already made a rule that those who were good at mobilizing soldiers would be executed!
In the hundred battle fortress, if you dared to move 10 soldiers away, you would be executed immediately. But now, 5000 of them had gone missing. What were they going to do? How to solve it? The Lord of the hundred battle fortress could already imagine his tragic end.
It was impossible to hide the fact that 5000 soldiers had gone missing. Even if he wanted to hide it, someone would spread the news, and the first person to do so would be the Sheila family.
The Cheryl family would definitely spread the news and shift their attention to Duke Ryan. The Lord of the hundred battle fortress knew that he couldn’t survive. However, in the end, he wrote a letter to Duke Ryan and asked him to make preparations and take care of his family.
The mayor of the hundred battle fortress was a carefree man. After doing all that, he submitted a form of apology to the Roson Empire and committed suicide in the mayor’s residence.
As for the castellan’s family, they were currently in Carson City. This was because there was a rule in the Roson Empire that the castellan of the hundred battle fortress had to leave his family behind in Carson City. This meant that the city had been betrayed by the Arkas Empire.
Sheila’s family would not let go of this opportunity. After defian found out about the matter, he immediately wrote a letter to his family to inform them. However, they were still a step too late. The castellan had already taken control of the matter. Coupled with the power of Grand Duke Ryan in the Roson Empire, this matter could not touch Grand Duke Ryan.
However, the Sheila family was very grateful to Zhao Hai. They knew that the disappearance of the 5000 soldiers had something to do with Zhao Hai. Although they did not believe that Zhao Hai could deal with 5000 cavalrymen by himself, they knew that the 5000 soldiers were going to deal with Zhao Hai. Therefore, the Sheila family began to send people to protect Zhao Hai.
However, Zhao Hai was completely unaware of these things. They continued to travel slowly and stopped to rest at night. There was nothing unusual.
However, Zhao Hai had also noticed a problem. Although Ryan was still with them, the distance between them had increased. The distance was at least a few hundred meters. This confused Zhao Hai. He had no idea what Ryan was doing.
When it was time to rest at night, ruien was even more obedient. She didn’t even need to eat at the hotel restaurant. She asked the hotel to send the food to her room, as if she was avoiding Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai returned to his room after his meal and asked Laura in confusion, ” “Do you think Ryan is crazy again? Why does it seem like they’re avoiding us all of a sudden?”
Lola snorted coldly. &Quot; maybe she’s afraid of being implicated by us. This time, someone came to attack us because we have a relationship with Sheila’s family. She might be afraid of being implicated by us, so she’s hiding from us. &Quot;
“Really?” Zhao Hai was stunned. By now, Grand Duke Ryan must have found out that he’s with us. Does he think that he’ll be fine by hiding from us?”
&Quot; who knows? ” Lola sneered. &Quot; maybe that’s what this young lady thinks. &Quot;
