Chapter 566: Let’s do it in the hall (1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai walked to the outside of the government Hall. The eunuch in front of the gate immediately shouted, ” “Zhao Hai bu da Jin greets you!”
Zhao Hai took a look at the eunuch and took a deep breath. He then slowly walked into the hall. When he entered the hall, he sneaked a glance at the surroundings. There were already many people standing in the hall. He saw a few familiar faces. There were the first Prince, second Prince, Charlie, Randolf, Jason’s grandfather, and a few other nobles that he had seen at the banquet. Now, these people were sitting in two rows on both sides of the hall. This was somewhat unexpected. He didn’t expect these people to be sitting here.
In the middle of the hall, there was a small stage, and a man was sitting on it. This man was sitting on a chair made of gold and silver. The chair was inlaid with many gems, but it was also covered with a layer of animal skin, which looked very soft and comfortable.
The man wasn’t very tall. He looked very gentle and even a little delicate. His hair was a little white, but his face was ruddy. He wore a golden crown on his head and held a cane in his hand. The cane wasn’t very long, only about 40 centimeters. It was made of gold and silver and was inlaid with a huge gem. It shouldn’t be a magic cane, but a scepter. It was the symbol of the power of the staff.
The man was dressed in luxurious clothes. Although he looked gentle, he had an aura that made people submit to him. He just sat there and looked at Zhao Hai calmly, but Zhao Hai felt a pressure. This pressure was coming from the man. The man did not mean to make things difficult for Zhao Hai. This pressure was not just directed at Zhao Hai, but it was still very strong.
“This man must be the king of the Roson Empire!” Zhao Hai thought to himself. However, he immediately reacted. He slowly walked to the man and bowed at a 90-degree angle. Then, he straightened up and said, ” “Zhao Hai bu da greets Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
The king of the Rolin Empire looked at Zhao Hai and nodded,”You are Zhao Hai? You’re the one who discovered the Robert family’s use of the anti-demon powder?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. The Robert family used the anti-demon powder to attack me, so I discovered it,” Zhao Hai replied immediately.
The king nodded and looked at Zhao Hai, ” “You’re a mage? Why were you fine when the Robert family used the anti-magic Powder to attack you?”
Zhao Hai was taken aback, but he immediately realized that Randolf probably didn’t tell the king that he was a dual-cultivator, nor did he tell the king that he wasn’t afraid of the anti-magic Powder. He wanted to keep a trump card.
Thinking up to this point, Zhao Haima immediately said, ” “Your Majesty, I am not just a magician. I am also a warrior, a grade 8 warrior. That is why the anti-demon powder is useless against me.” Zhao Hai didn’t mention that he wasn’t afraid of the anti-demon powder. This was his trump card. Compared to this, there was no need to hide the fact that he was a warrior.
All the nobles in the hall were stunned by Zhao Hai’s words. Then, they began to whisper to each other. They knew that Zhao Hai was a mage, and an 8th-tier one at that. However, they did not expect him to be a warrior. An 8th-tier warrior!
Did this mean that Zhao Hai was a dual cultivator? However, there had never been any mages who had achieved much in both magic and martial arts. Only a handful of mages had reached grade-6, and only a few had reached grade-7.
Zhao Hai was not only an 8th-tier magician, but he was also an 8th-tier warrior. This was simply unbelievable. If it wasn’t for the fact that Zhao Hai would never dare to lie to the king, they would have thought that he was lying.
The king looked at Zhao Hai in surprise, then nodded and said, ” &Quot; good, young man. You’re a good person. I’ve called you here today because I have a matter for you to deal with. If you can handle this matter well, I’ll reward you heavily! &Quot;
Zhao Haiyi bowed. &Quot; it’s my duty to do this for Your Majesty. I don’t dare to ask for a reward. Please tell me, Your Majesty! &Quot;
The king nodded in satisfaction and said, ” &Quot; you were the one who found out about the boat Carver, so I won’t hide it from you anymore. Today, I’ve already had people turn Robert and Terry into high-level undead creatures. They also gave up some things, but they don’t know much. According to them, there should be another boat Carver member in their family, but they don’t know who that member is. You’ve already exterminated the Robert family. There are so many corpses. My people don’t have the ability to turn him into an undead creature. The LAN Qing family said that you can do it. I wonder if what he said is true?”
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; yes, Your Majesty. I can do it. Please rest assured, Your Majesty. &Quot;
The king nodded and said,”then how about we do it in this Hall?” I would also like to see how different your black magic is.”
Zhao Hai was taken aback. &Quot; Your Majesty, to become an undead creature, you have to come into contact with a corpse. I’m afraid doing it in the hall will taint Your Majesty’s eyes. Furthermore, you have to use magic. I’m afraid it will offend Your Majesty. &Quot;
Wang Zihao didn’t care. He shook his head and said, ” “AI, there’s no need to say anymore. It’s decided then. Let’s do it in this Hall. This King wants to see it with his own eyes.”
Zhao Hai didn’t know what to say, so he nodded and said, ” “Your Majesty’s decree!”
The king nodded and waved his hand. The third eunuch, who had been standing beside the king, immediately took two steps forward and loudly said, ” “Carry it up!” &Quot; yes! &Quot; someone outside the hall responded loudly. Soon after, bodies covered with white cloth were placed on stretchers and carried into the hall.
These corpses had obviously been processed and didn’t have any strange smells. However, this row of corpses still didn’t look good.
Although some of the nobles in the hall knew that Zhao Hai had annihilated the Robert family, when they saw the rows of corpses being carried up, they could still feel Zhao Hai’s ruthlessness. They began to discuss in low voices again.
The king did not care much. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Let’s do it,” Zhao Hai bowed and responded. He took out his staff and pretended to chant a few words of incantation. Then, a cloud of black Qi wrapped around the first Prince’s body. When the black Qi disappeared, the bodies were already standing in the hall. These people were no different from when they were alive, except that their faces were a little pale, their eyes could not turn, and they could not breathe. Other than that, they looked exactly like real people.
Zhao Hai could have turned into a human skeleton, but to show off his abilities, he had deliberately turned into a zombie. On the ark continent, one was not afraid of one’s abilities, but afraid of one’s inability. As long as one had the ability, they would be valued. On the contrary, if one did not have the ability, no one would even look at them.
The people in the hall were at a loss as they looked at the undead creatures. They had seen many undead creatures before. They were either skeletons or zombies with rotten flesh on their bodies. They had never seen an undead creature that looked 90% like a normal person like the one Zhao Hai created.
After dealing with the undead creatures, Zhao Hai turned to the king and said, ” “Your Majesty, you can ask them now. They promise not to lie.”
The king was also stunned by Zhao Hai’s actions. Now that he heard Zhao Hai’s words, he nodded his head and said, ” &Quot; alright, then you can do the questioning. You just have to find the person who carved the boat and hid in Robert’s family. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and immediately asked the undead creatures. Unfortunately, the people who carved the boat weren’t among them, so Zhao Hai didn’t waste any time and put the undead creatures back into the boundless space. Then, another batch of corpses was brought up for Zhao Hai to continue.
Zhao Hai turned one corpse after another into undead creatures in the hall. Only when there were more than one corpse did Zhao Hai find the person who carved the boat. To their surprise, the person was a woman, one of Robert’s many wives!
Zhao Hai managed to get some information from the writer. The writer was indeed a believer of the demonic god. It was their duty to destroy the ark continent. They had never met each other before, and they only communicated through secret letters. Most importantly, no one knew who these people were, and they did not have any marks on their bodies. If there was anything that could reveal their identity, it would be in their homes. There must be a demonic elephant somewhere!
If this information was true, it wouldn’t be of much use to Zhao Hai and the others. How many people were there on the continent? How many nobles were there? They didn’t have any obvious characteristics. They only said that they had a divine elephant in their house, but no one knew where the divine elephant was. This was too big of a target, and there was no way to find it.
However, it wasn’t like they hadn’t gained anything. This later-discovered boat-engraving organization knew more than Robert and Terry. This boat-engraving organization had existed for more than a thousand years. At first, they were just people at the bottom of society. These people had been bullied by the nobles and couldn’t resist, so they joined forces and created this boat-engraving organization. They had also started to worship the demon God and recruit members.
Then, after several revolutions and the replacement of dynasties on the continent, these people used the power they had accumulated to let some people in their organization rise to the top and become great nobles. This way, they would have power in their hands, and that was how the Robert family became rich.
The most important point was that although these boat scripters didn’t look like much on the outside, their hearts believed in the demon God. The demon God was bloodthirsty and cruel, so these people’s hearts were also somewhat dark and would show it in some aspects, just like the Robert family’s savage Wolf badge!
Obtaining this information would be of great help to the Rosen Empire. At the very least, they now had a target and could narrow down their search.
Now, all the nobles in the hall were very afraid of the people who carved the boat, because this organization was aimed at everyone on the continent. Their harm was no less than that of the Church of Light. The Church of Light wanted to deprive them of their control, but this organization wanted their lives!
