Chapter 565: Third eunuch (3) _1
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai’s car wasn’t very big. Only ordinary nobles would ride in such cars. The heads of the truly powerful families would ride in cars like the one Zhao Hai was in. It was very big and spacious.
Randolf gave Zhao Hai this carriage to acknowledge Zhao Hai’s status. Now, Zhao Hai had the right to sit in this carriage. His status was the same as Randolf and the other family heads who had been around for thousands of years.
After Zhao Hai got on the carriage, he asked the driver why Randolf was looking for him. However, the driver didn’t know either.
As soon as Zhao Hai’s carriage entered Carson City, everyone who saw it immediately made way for him. The people who lived in Carson City were all very observant. They knew very well that anyone who could sit in this carriage was someone they could not afford to offend. Naturally, they would stay as far away as possible.
Soon, the carriage arrived outside the Royal Palace. The Roson Empire’s Royal Palace was indeed magnificent. Just the outer wall alone was more than a hundred feet high. There were two rows of Warriors standing in front of the gate, about forty in total. Each of them was dressed in armor, looking very valiant and extraordinary.
There was a moat outside the palace, and there was a suspension bridge on the moat. Zhao Hai’s carriage stopped outside the suspension bridge. A servant stood on the platform of the carriage and said to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; young master Zhao Hai, our carriage is here. You will have to walk up the suspension bridge. After you have registered, someone will take you to see his Majesty. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. He got off the car and walked towards the suspension bridge. As soon as he crossed the suspension bridge, he was stopped by two warriors. When the two warriors saw Zhao Hai’s car, they did not dare to neglect him. They said to Zhao Hai,”Sir, please go to the side to register.” After saying that, he pointed behind them.
Zhao Hai looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a small room. It seemed to be used for registration. Zhao Hai nodded and walked into the small room.
Zhao Hai pushed the door open and walked in. He found that the room was not big, but it was warm and simple. There was a table and four chairs, and two men sat behind the table. They were in their 30s and had pale faces. They were wearing clothes with strange patterns, which made them look beautiful.
The moment they saw Zhao Hai enter, the two men immediately stood up and bowed to him. &Quot; “Greetings, Sir. May I know your name?” Their voices were sharp. Zhao Hai knew that they were eunuchs the moment he heard them.
Although Zhao Hai looked down on these eunuchs, he was still very polite. Many things had happened in the history of China where eunuchs ruled. Who knew what kind of tricks these filthy people had up their sleeves? so, he bowed very politely to the two of them and said, ” “Greetings, this one is the patriarch of the Buda family, Zhao Hai Buda. I have come to see you under the orders of His Majesty.”
The two eunuchs became even more respectful when they heard Zhao Hai’s name. They quickly said, ” &Quot; okay, we’ll register you, Sir. You can go in. A eunuch is waiting for you inside. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. The two eunuchs registered and handed a golden card to Zhao Hai. One of the eunuchs said, ” “Sir, take this sign and you can go in. Someone will come to pick you up once you’re inside,”
Zhao Hai nodded and took the token. He turned around and left the room, heading towards the palace. Many guards only checked the token in Zhao Hai’s hand before letting him through.
The moment Zhao Hai entered the palace, he saw a eunuch standing there. The eunuch looked to be in his 50s, but he didn’t look like he was bowing to someone. On the contrary, he had an imposing manner, one that only a superior would have, and a strong killing intent.
Zhao Hai knew that this eunuch was not simple when he saw him. He was probably a death warrior, and a high-level one at that.
The eunuch also saw Zhao Hai. He immediately walked up to Zhao Hai and bowed.”Are you the head of the Zhao family?”
Zhao Hai didn’t dare to disobey and quickly bowed, ” “I wouldn’t dare. It’s Zhao Hai.”
&Quot; please follow me, Earl, ” the eunuch immediately said. &Quot; His Majesty is waiting for you. &Quot; He walked into the palace with Zhao Hai following behind him. As he walked, he introduced the etiquette to the king.
The etiquette of meeting the king on the ark continent was different from that on earth. On earth, one would have to kneel when meeting the king. During the first meeting, one would have to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. However, this was not the case on the ark continent. On the ark continent, as long as one was a noble, they did not have to kneel when meeting the king. They only had to bow.
Of course, this bow was different from the bow of ordinary nobles. They had to bow at a 90-degree angle and there were some requirements when they replied. These were all introduced to Zhao Hai.
This was Zhao Hai’s first time meeting this eunuch, so he didn’t ask too many questions. He could only listen quietly. From the eunuch’s appearance, he didn’t seem to be very greedy, but Zhao Hai still wanted to give it a try.
On the way, Zhao Hai made sure that no one was around. With a flip of his hand, he took out something he had obtained from the Robert family. It was a magic crystal. This magic crystal was an alchemy product. He had no idea what method the alchemists had used to carve a magic array into the crystal. The magic array was very beautiful, and the entire magic array had been processed with gold threads and some other alchemy materials. This made the entire magic array look golden and shiny. Coupled with the profoundness of the magic array, this made the crystal look even more beautiful.
This crystal wasn’t big, only the size of a palm. It was a crystal card. Although the crystal was small, it was very useful. This crystal could maintain a person’s body at a constant temperature, eliminate fatigue, and remove the smell on the body. It was a rare toy.
Zhao Hai passed the crystal to the eunuch and said, ” “This is my first time meeting eunuch Liu, so I don’t have much to prepare. This is just a small toy. Please accept it as a token of my respect.”
The eunuch glanced at the crystal in Zhao Hai’s hand. He was a knowledgeable person and could tell that this item was extraordinary. He immediately said, ” &Quot; you’re too kind, my Lord. I’m just a eunuch. I can’t accept such a big bow. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; eunuch Liu, you’re too polite. You’re close to His Majesty. How can you not accept such a small gift? ” It’s cold now, so this little thing can keep eunuch’s body at a constant temperature. Eunuch must be very tired from following His Majesty every day, so this little thing has to be used to remove fatigue. In addition, this little thing can remove body odors. Although it’s not very useful, it’s still good to carry around.”
The eunuch didn’t think much of the first two benefits. Just as Zhao Hai had thought, he was a Lv 8 dare-to-die fighter. With his strength, he was immune to the cold and heat, so he wouldn’t overwork himself. However, the last benefit of removing the odor was very attractive to him.
All eunuchs had this problem. Due to their physical defects, they were much more inconvenient than normal men when they were relieving themselves. They were also prone to producing strange smells. It was precisely because of this that they did not dare to eat too much during the day, let alone drink too much water. It was very hard on them. After all, they were facing the king. If they really made a strange smell and the king smelled it, they were afraid that their heads would be cut off. Even if they did not lose their heads, they would lose favor. That was something even more terrifying than losing his head.
Therefore, these eunuchs had always paid great attention to the problem of odor. In addition to eating and drinking less, they would often change their clothes and sprinkle scented powder on their bodies to cover up the smell.
However, with this small thing in Zhao Hai’s hand, all these problems would be solved. Therefore, when the eunuch heard that the crystal had such a function, he was tempted.
Zhao Hai saw that he was a little tempted and quickly handed the crystal over. He smiled and said, ” “Eunuch Liu, please accept it. Oh right, I’ve been rude. I still don’t know eunuch Liu’s name.”
The eunuch didn’t reject Zhao Hai’s offer this time. He took the crystal card from Zhao Hai and put it in his pocket. He immediately felt the benefits of the crystal card. His body was a little cold just now, but now he didn’t feel the cold from the task. Therefore, he was more polite to Zhao Hai. He smiled and said, &Quot; you’re too kind, my Lord. People like us who enter the palace don’t have names. I’m the third in my generation, and most people call me third eunuch. &Quot;
“Greetings, third eunuch,” Zhao Hai quickly said.”I’m only a small count. If there’s anything in the future, I’ll be looking forward to third eunuch’s help.”
“Sure, sure,” third eunuch also smiled.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn’t believe that he would be bribing third eunuch just like that. He only wanted to leave a good impression on third eunuch so that it would be more convenient for him to do things in the future.
With his current strength, he did not have to worry about the third eunuch. However, Zhao Hai did not want to do so. It was enough to establish his authority. It was better not to offend too many people. After all, the aristocrats were the ones who had the final say in this world. Those who went against the times would not end well.
By then, they had reached the largest Hall in the palace. This Hall was where the king dealt with political affairs every day. It did not have a very elegant name, but it was called the government Hall. Just like the other places on the ark continent, it was practical.
There were dozens of steps in the government Hall. Third eunuch invited Zhao Hai to wait at the bottom of the steps. Zhao Hai waited for a while before a sharp voice came from the hall, ” “Summon Zhao Hai to the palace!”
Zhao Hai tidied his clothes and walked up the stairs. He was going to meet the king of the most powerful country on the continent. He would be lying if he said he wasn’t nervous.
