Chapter 460: Charlie’s reward (1)
Translator: 549690339
Through this incident, Zhao Hai finally understood that the host had such an advantage. The surveillance range of the realm was now 10000 meters. 10000 meters. Although this metal ball was not big, if it was made into a thin little sword, it would be quite lethal. Wouldn’t that be equivalent to him having a flying sword?
Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn’t help but get excited. However, he usually only fiddled with the metal ball in the boundless space. He stopped fiddling with it when he was outside the boundless space.
There were no metal fitness balls like those in China on the ark continent. If you were to play with two metal balls, you would be regarded as a lunatic.
When Zhao Hai came out of the medium in the afternoon, he didn’t see Charlie either. Zhao Hai knew that the Jade water city was Charlie’s territory. He had just arrived here and had a lot of things to deal with. He wasn’t in a hurry, so he didn’t go out and wander around. He just stayed in the purple bamboo cabin and chatted with Laura and the others while drinking Keya.
In the evening, Charlie invited Zhao Hai to dinner and apologized to him repeatedly, saying that he was too busy and had neglected Zhao Hai. For a Prince, being able to do this was already giving him a lot of face. Of course, Zhao Hai would not be angry. He repeatedly said that he did not dare to do so. He had a few drinks with Charlie and then it was over.
Charlie’s translation shocked trezeb even more. Although Charlie was considered talented among the princes, it was also because of this that he was still very arrogant. Although he usually seemed to have a good relationship with everyone and was polite to everyone, as Charlie’s confidant, trezeb still knew Charlie very well.
The Prince was actually very arrogant and did not care about ordinary people. He was polite to people because he had been educated since he was young, not because he thought highly of you.
However, trezeb could feel that Charlie’s courtesies towards Zhao Hai were sincere. Charlie really thought highly of Zhao Hai, which surprised trezeb.
Zhao Hai’s business could make money, but that was just business. Compared to the taxes in Jade water city, it was far worse. Charlie would not think highly of Zhao Hai because of this.
If it was because of Zhao Hai’s strength, even if he was a level 8 expert, he would not have been treated so politely by Charlie. However, the fact that Charlie was treating Zhao Hai with such respect left trezeb a little confused.
After dinner, Zhao Hai returned to the origin space to rest. At this time, trezeb and Charlie were standing in the living room.
In the afternoon, they didn’t have much time to chat. They were all dealing with some official business. Trezeb mainly reported to Charlie about the recent income from Jade water city and some matters that needed to be handled. Now, he was done with his work.
After trezeb delivered Keya to Charlie, he asked in confusion, ” “Your Highness, why do you value Zhao Hai so much? Is he very strong?”
Charlie looked at trezzer and smiled. &Quot; “What’s wrong? You’re not convinced?”
Trezeb shook his head. &Quot; that’s not it. I’ve been with His Highness for so many years. Why would I be unconvinced by something like this? I just don’t understand. I don’t know what ability this Mr. Zhao Hai has to make His Highness so interested in him. &Quot;
Charlie smiled. &Quot; his business, his connections, and his strength are all things that I’ve taken a fancy to. Lirui, have a good talk with Terry. &Quot; &Quot; yes, ” Lily replied and told him everything that had happened with Zhao Hai.
Trezeb did not expect this to happen. He knew that Zhao Hai was related to the Sheila family and the carci family. He also knew that Zhao Hai had some conflicts with the carci family recently. However, he did not expect that Zhao Hai was the one who dealt with Duke Ryan. He also did not expect Zhao Hai to be an advanced magician with multiple elements.
It was very difficult for a magician with multiple elements to have high achievements because it was not easy to master every single magic. Zhao Hai was actually an advanced magician with multiple elements. This was already very shocking. At the same time, this identity was worth Charlie’s effort.
On the continent, powerhouses of the ninth rank rarely got into action. In a battle, the ones who were truly decisive were usually powerhouses of the eighth rank. It was precisely because of this that a high-level Magus with multiple elements was extremely important.
High-level mages with multiple elements could use mixed magic, and the offensive power of mixed magic was very strong. The chemical reaction caused by the superposition of two kinds of magic would increase the offensive power of the magic by several times.
If Charlie really had a multi-elemental high-level magician like Zhao Hai, his strength would increase by several times. Moreover, this magician was a Child of Fortune and had a lot of business that could make him a fortune.
With Zhao Hai’s current status, he was worthy of Charlie’s respect. Trezeb nodded and said,”His Highness did the right thing. Such a person is indeed worthy of respect, but why did the people of the kalci family have a falling out with such a person? Are they crazy?”
Charlie smiled and said, &Quot; telai, you’ve forgotten that the current leader of the kalchi family is still the older generation. The most favored one in the family is the No. 5 Zhu Wan. Zhao Hai has so many profitable businesses, it would be strange if Zhu Wan isn’t jealous. Moreover, Zhao Hai offended the fifth in the South in the Arkas Empire, so he came to our Roson Empire. He also offended the Church of Light, so he went directly to Tianshui city. Naturally, that Zhu Wan thinks that he has Zhao Hai in the palm of his hand. Therefore, I believe that this matter was all his doing.”
&Quot; Your Highness is right, ” said trezeb, nodding. &Quot; Smith and his brothers would never do something like that. Only Zhu Wan could do it. I didn’t expect that the calci family’s smart head would fall in love with a good-for-nothing. If Zhao Hai is forced to be their enemy because of this, he will regret it. &Quot;
Charlie smiled and said, &Quot; it won’t be that easy. Zhao Hai is a smart and nostalgic person. He doesn’t want to have a conflict with the carci family so soon. In addition, although the real power of the carci family is still in the hands of the old family members, Smith and his brothers have grown up and can stand on their own. Their abilities are not small now. These brothers are smart people. They won’t give up on Zhao Hai. If I’m not wrong. &Quot; Zhao Hai must have gotten some sort of guarantee from Smith, that’s why he would give the kalchi family so much face.”
&Quot; that’s possible, ” trezeb said, nodding. &Quot; it seems that this Mr. Zhao Hai is not as simple as he looks. Are you confident, Your Highness? ”
Trezeb’s “are you confident” was obviously asking if Charlie was confident he could control Zhao Hai. This was also the most common method they used.
Charlie shook his head and laughed. &Quot; don’t try to control someone like Zhao Hai. Just maintain our current relationship. When something happens to us, he won’t just stand by and watch. Do you remember what he said today about a ship that went out to protect a friend and was damaged by an attack? ”
Trezeb nodded. &Quot; of course I remember. He’s going to fix it here. What’s wrong, Your Highness? ” Is there a problem?”
“Haven’t you noticed a problem?” Charlie asked with a smile. Zhao Hai had a close relationship with the Versailles family. Grand Duke Versailles was kind to Zhao Hai, so Zhao Hai had been protecting Ivan’s daughter. Her name was Ryan, right? “I heard that Ryan had caused trouble for Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai didn’t do anything to him. I also heard that Ryan recently returned to the country and took the sea route, so he had to go through a no man’s land. If I’m not wrong, Zhao Hai must have sent a ship to protect Ryan. If Zhao Hai can treat someone who has offended him like this, it shows what kind of person he is. Therefore, you must not try to control such a person. Otherwise, you will only offend him. Do you understand?”
&Quot; don’t worry, Your Highness, ” trezeb said. &Quot; I know what to do. I’ve already prepared the shop for Mr. Zhao Hai. It’s not far from the East Gate. It’s a big shop, and even though it’s a little remote, it has a few large warehouses. There are two floors underground, too. It’s a pretty good shop. I’ve already had the things he wants transported to the warehouse. He can go and get them if he needs them. &Quot;
Charlie looked at trezeb approvingly and said, ” &Quot; well done, telai. I’ve been really at ease with you in charge of Jade water city all these years. If it wasn’t for the family’s rule that Jade water city can’t be given to others as a fief, I really wanted to give this place to you. But don’t worry, if I really sit in that position, I’ll definitely give you a good fief. &Quot;
&Quot; I wouldn’t dare, Your Highness, ” trezeb quickly said. &Quot; I’ve been following you since I was a child. I’ve been serving you my entire life. Your Highness, even if you don’t give me a fief, I’ll still follow you for the rest of my life. &Quot;
Charlie smiled and said, &Quot; of course, I know that. But you’ve done so much for me, so I have to reward you. Otherwise, I’ll be too sorry for you, and my followers will think that I’m not rewarding you properly. Take what I’ve given you. Don’t be polite. I’ve already prepared the other fiefs for you. With the fall of Grand Duke Ryan, his fief has become ownerless. It’s a dukedom, and father can’t let it become a dukedom anymore. So, he has divided the fiefs. I want one. I prepared it for you.”
Trezeb’s heart was filled with excitement. He knew very well that Grand Duke Ryan’s fief was a good one, and many people were envious of it. Now that Charlie had left a piece for him, it was a great reward for him.
Charlie looked at trezeb’s expression and laughed. &Quot; that piece of land is just what I’ve prepared for now. If I really ascend to the throne in the future, it’s fine if I give you all of Duke Ryan’s territory. By then, you can become the new Duke. &Quot;
