In the living room, after everyone had taken their seats, Charlie smiled at Zhao Hai and said,”Why did you come to my place first this time? Hahaha, you made a name for yourself in the Versailles Duchy. Now, no one on the continent would dare to look down on a count like you. Right, I’ve thought about it. I’ll give your Buda family an even higher title in the Rosen Empire.”
Zhao Hai knew that some great nobles had titles in many countries, and even territories in several countries. This was not uncommon on the continent, so it was understandable for Charlie to do this. After all, the Buda family was only a count in the Arkas Empire, and their family’s land was in the black soil wasteland. In the eyes of others, it was as good as nothing.
&Nbsp; ” thank you, Your Highness, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; by the way, trezeb asked me to bring you a gift. You must accept it. &Quot; After he finished speaking, he took out the clean iron cloak and placed it on the table.
Charlie looked at pure iron cloak and nodded. In fact, he had already received trezeb’s letter and knew about pure iron cloak, so he was not surprised.
Charlie also knew that trezeb wanted to give this piece of clothing to Zhao Hai, but Zhao Hai did not accept it. Thinking of this, Charlie could not help but look at Zhao Hai and say, ” “Little hai, you should just accept this piece of clothing.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” Your Highness, this dress is really useless to me. You should keep it for yourself. By the way, I’m here to give you a gift. It’s some seafood, but they’re all edible. I’ve specially picked out the best seafood. The ones we’re selling are much better. &Quot;
Charlie, of course, knew about this. He smiled and said, ” “Okay, then I won’t stand on ceremony. But those seafood are really very popular. The seafood you sent has brought us huge benefits. Little hai, I really have to thank you.”
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” Your Highness, you’re too kind. You’re not the only one who made money. I’ve also made quite a lot. I’m here to wish you a happy God’s grace day. We’ll be busy after God’s grace day. Our wine will probably be available for the surface market in a while. At the same time, when spring comes, my business with the orcs will also begin. I hope your Highness will be prepared as well. Don’t be flustered when the time comes. If that happens, you’ll lose Your Highness ‘money. &Quot;
Charlie laughed heartily. &Quot; don’t worry. I guarantee that there won’t be any problems here. How can I miss out on something like this? don’t worry. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and looked at the sky, ” &Quot; Your Highness, I have to go to the karci family. After all, I just came here. It’s not good to not go. When I’m not busy that day, I’ll come to your place for a free meal. &Quot;
Charlie smiled. &Quot; alright, I know about your situation. Go ahead and do what you need to do. I’ll welcome you here anytime. &Quot; Zhao Hai nodded and followed melgen outside.
Charlie walked Zhao Hai all the way to the car. Meanwhile, he told the team of Knights that he had dispatched to pick Zhao Hai up to send Zhao Hai to the dark Soldier fortress of the Karche clan. The Karche clan was also a big clan in the Rosen Empire. However, their mansion was not in Carson City; instead, it was on a Hill in Carson City. That Hill was called Dark Soldier Mountain. There was a Castle on the top of it, called Dark Soldier fortress. The carci family only had a small mansion in Carson City, where only some servants lived. The core members of the carci family all lived in the dark Soldier Fort.
Zhao Hai and the others had no choice but to take a car out of Carson City and arrived at the dark Soldier fortress. Fortunately, the dark Soldier fortress was not too far away from Carson City. They arrived in about an hour by car.
Along the way, Zhao Hai also noticed that there were many castles built on the mountains outside of Carson City. Those who lived there were, of course, the old nobles of the Roson Empire. Otherwise, they would not have been able to get their hands on the mountains. These castles formed the first line of defense outside Carson City. If they wanted to attack Carson City, they would have to break through this line of defense first.
There was also another reason for this. If something really happened in Carson City, these nobles outside the city would be able to mobilize the Army at the first moment to defend the Emperor. Therefore, these nobles who lived outside the city were the most loyal to the Roson Empire.
The dark Soldier fortress was located at the peak of the dark Soldier Mountain. There was only a bluestone road from the same place to the top of the mountain, which was nearly ten meters wide. There were many trees planted on the mountain. These trees were quite old and grew there luxuriantly. The tip of the dark Soldier fortress could be vaguely seen on the top of the trees, which made it look so mysterious and elegant.
At the foot of the hill, there was a horizontal wooden block in front of the road. Next to the wooden block was a small house, which was the reception area.
Before Zhao Hai’s carriage could reach the entrance, two servants came out of the house and moved the wooden beam away. They stood there respectfully. Apparently, they had also heard about Zhao Hai’s arrival and were prepared.
The cavalrymen sent by Charlie sent Zhao Hai to the foot of the mountain and left. Zhao Hai only found out after asking melgen that the carci family had a team of cavalrymen in Carson City. They were dedicated to protecting the house of the carci family in the city. Generally, the members of the carci family would go directly to the dark Soldier Fort when they returned home. Of course, some would also go to Carson City. The cavalrymen would escort them back to their house in Carson City or escort the team to the dark Soldier Fort.
Under the escort of those Knights, Zhao Hai and his partners arrived at the gate of dark soldiers fortress. The moment they arrived, Zhao Hai had been stunned. Because dark soldiers fortress was similar to Iron Mountain fortress. However, Iron Mountain fortress was built at the foot of Iron Mountain; however, dark soldiers fortress was built on the top of the mountain.
There was also a moat outside the Fort, as well as city walls. Everything showed that this was a fortress that could be used for war. It was not built here for the sake of beauty.
At this time, the gate of the castle had already opened. In front of the gate stood two heavy infantry Warriors, and outside the suspension bridge stood an old man. This old man was wearing a Butler’s uniform. Although he was not young, he stood straight and had an extraordinary temperament.
Zhao Hai, melgen, and the others had just gotten out of the car when melgen ran to the old man and said, ” “Grandpa gan, why did you come out in person again? Do you really need to do this personally?”
The old man’s serious face was filled with smiles. He looked at melgen and said with a smile, ” “Little girl, you’re back. Of course I have to come out to welcome you. Otherwise, you’ll say that I don’t love you anymore.”
Although the old man was wearing a steward’s uniform, he spoke to melgen very casually. He did not consider himself to be a subordinate at all. On the contrary, he seemed to be an elder of melgen. &Nbsp;
Melgen was also used to speaking like an old man, so she did not mind it at all. Instead, she pulled the old man’s arm and said coquettishly, ” “Am I that insensible? If Grandpa gan says that about me again, I’ll tell grandma Ferlin.”
Gan smiled but did not say anything. Instead, he turned to look at Zhao Hai. When Zhao Hai saw the old man, he knew that the old man had a good relationship with melgen. Naturally, he did not dare to neglect him. He immediately stepped forward and bowed to gan, saying,”Greetings, Grandpa gan. I’m Zhao Hai.”
Gan sized up Zhao Hai and nodded, &Quot; good, young man, you’re good. I’ve heard about what you’ve done. Well done, well done. I’ve long disliked Zhu Wan. You’ve done the right thing. Those bastards of the Church of Light really think they’re gods. They’re meddling in other people’s business everywhere. Good fight. They’re hiding too much. Hahahaha. &Quot;
The old man’s words left Zhao Hai speechless. A general manager could scold Zhu Wan directly. This gave Zhao Hai a new understanding of the old man’s identity and status. It seemed like this old man was not just a general manager.
Zhao Hai gave the old man a bitter smile and said, ” &Quot; I was forced to do that. Who wouldn’t want to live a peaceful life? but they just don’t want us to live a happy life, so I could only stand up and resist. &Quot;
The old man laughed. &Quot; good boy, you’re honest. Let’s go. Our family is waiting for you. &Quot; Then, he led the way into the castle.
This castle was also divided into three entrances. The first entrance was where the guards lived, the second entrance was where a servant lived, and the third entrance was where the main castle was located.
After Zhao Hai and the others entered the courtyard, someone immediately drove a carriage over and invited them to get in. This carriage was the exclusive carriage in the courtyard. Anyone who arrived at the dark Soldier fortress had to leave their own means of transportation outside the fortress and hand it over to the carci family to deal with. They would enter the courtyard, take the ride provided by the carci family, and then give you a second or third courtyard. This was the old rule of the carci family that had been used until today.
The car provided by the kalci family was very large with a very luxurious decoration inside, which was no worse than Zhao Hai’s car. Although there were so many people in the car, it didn’t feel crowded at all.
Gan looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” little hai, you have to be prepared. All the adults in the family are waiting for you in the living room, including Zhu Wan. He has lost his power and blamed everything on you. He might make things difficult for you, so you have to be prepared. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” don’t worry, Grandpa gan. I’ll be fine. After all, he’s melgen’s fifth uncle, so he’s my elder. I won’t go too far with my elders. You don’t have to worry. &Quot;
Gan looked at Zhao Hai and nodded. He was very satisfied with Zhao Hai. This young man didn’t seem to be pampered or impatient. He was also very polite to others, which was very good.
What he didn’t know was that Zhao Hai was a very traditional China man. Chinese people were very respectful to their elders. Respecting the old and cherishing the young was a traditional virtue of the Chinese. Zhao Hai had been educated like this since he was young. He was very respectful to the elderly. Of course, if he didn’t respect them for his age and went overboard, he wouldn’t tolerate it.
China people had no pride, but they had a backbone. Zhao Hai was like this. He would not look down on anyone, but if someone looked down on him, he would not be polite, and he would not smile at them.
The carriage moved slowly. There was no vibration in the carriage at all, but Zhao Hai was a little nervous. No matter what, he was going to face a large family this time. Zhao Hai had never experienced such a situation before.
