Hearing Grimm’s question, Zhao Hai was stunned. They had already spoken a few sentences, and Grimm was still asking if these eight guys could speak? Isn’t this too strange? Could it be that Grimm and the others could not hear him?
“Grandpa Green, we’ve already said a few words. Did you not hear it?” Zhao Hai turned to look at green.
Grimm and the others shook their heads. Zhao Hai was now sure that Grimm and the others couldn’t hear the conversation between him and the members of the undying mercenary group.
While Zhao Hai was still confused, Merlin said, ” &Quot; alright, stop asking. They’re undead creatures, so how can they speak? but they’re all high-level undead creatures and can communicate directly with young master through Spirit energy. To young master, it feels like they’re speaking into her ear, but in fact, they don’t make any sound. &Quot;
Zhao Hai and the rest finally understood after hearing Merlin’s words. Zhao Hai nodded and turned to look at the undying Black Mages.”Since you’ve already called me master, then you don’t have to use your previous name. I’ll give you a few names. Who’s the Boss?”
The skeleton that had just spoken to Zhao Hai took a step forward and said, ” “Master, I am.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” alright, then from today onwards, you will be called Zhao Zui. The second will be called Zhao Zhen, the third will be Zhao Shan, the fourth will be Zhao Feng, the fifth will be Zhao Chong, the sixth will be Zhao Lu, the seventh will be Zhao Qi, and the eighth will be Zhao Lian. &Quot;
&Quot; yes, ” the eight replied in unison. Although their intelligence wasn’t affected much, the realm had already made them recognize Zhao Hai as their master. They naturally wouldn’t refute Zhao Hai’s words.
Seeing that they had agreed, Zhao Hai continued, ” &Quot; answer my question. Who told you that Laura has the Necromancer’s ball? ”
Zhao Zui quickly replied, ” master, we heard the news from a not-so-important peripheral member of the magicdare family. We didn’t believe it at the time, but what he said was too true. We all wanted to improve our strength, so we took action. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded his head. He had roughly figured it out. It was just another trick of the family’s internal struggle. It was nothing special.
Zhao Hai turned to Zhao Zui and said,”call me young master from now on. You’ve robbed quite a lot of good stuff over the years.” Where are those things?”
“Young master, even though we’ve been out robbing for so many years, we rarely keep the things we’ve robbed. We’ve handed them all over to our previous owners,” Zhao Zui said immediately.
Zhao Hai was taken aback. Then, his expression changed, ” “Previous master? You’ve recognized someone else as your master before? When was that?”
Zhao Zui quickly explained, ” master, you’ve misunderstood. It’s not that we acknowledged someone else as our master. We were adopted by our previous master since we were young. He was the one who taught us our magic. When we were almost done with our studies, he sent us to form the undead mercenary group and help him accumulate wealth until now. &Quot;
When Zhao Hai heard Zhao Zui’s words, he did not feel relieved. Instead, his mood became even heavier. He quickly said,”What was the identity of your previous master?”
Zhao Zui shook his head. &Quot; we don’t know. We rarely see him. It’s always been a servant who takes care of us. Even when we see him, he’s wearing a black magic robe that covers his entire body. We can’t see him. &Quot;
Zhao Hai’s heart sank even further. He realized that the power behind Zhao Zui and the others was not as simple as it seemed. A power could nurture Zhao Zui and the others from a young age until they became grade-7 sorcerers. How much manpower and financial resources would this require? however, this was not the scariest part. One had to know that only one in ten thousand people on the mainland had the talent for magic. Black magic was a more obscure and difficult magic to practice. It was even more difficult to find people who were suitable to practice black magic.
On the other hand, the faction behind Zhao Zui and the others was able to select the eight of them in one go. Furthermore, they were all suitable to learn black magic. It seemed like their results were not bad. How powerful would they have to be just to select the eight people? The process of nurturing them would require a lot more effort, and the people behind Zhao Zui and the others had all done it. It was clear that the other party was very powerful. Moreover, the eight of them grew up together, and it was obvious that their master did not live there. Did that mean that their master might have trained people like Zhao Zui and the others somewhere else? If that was the case, then the matter was even more serious.
Green and the others noticed Zhao Hai’s chest color and quickly said, ” “Young master, what’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”
Zhao Hai glanced at green and the others. He then recounted his conversation with Zhao Zui and his own speculation. Green and the others ‘expressions turned grim.
Zhao Hai asked Zhao Zui and the rest about the person who adopted them. However, Zhao Zui did not know anything about it. They only knew that the person had adopted them when they could remember. When they were older, the person made them become mercenaries. When they earned money, the person would place the money at a place designated by the person. They rarely met and had very little contact with each other. The person did not contact them much, so they did not know about the person’s situation.
After realizing that he could not get anything out of them, Zhao Hai sent Zhao Zui and the others back into the medium. After all, the room inside the alien was not very big. It was very crowded with so many people.
Green and the others didn’t say anything, but their faces didn’t look too good. They realized that this time they had really provoked a force that they shouldn’t have provoked. No one knew how big this force was, how strong this force was, and what their purpose was. No one knew, but one thing was for sure, this force was not simple.
After a while, Grimm said, ” young master, we don’t have to worry too much. No one will think that we’re the ones who took care of the undead mercenary group. The black soil wasteland is a place that has been forgotten by the mainland. When we get there, we’ll immediately send Zhao Zui and the others to the rotten corpse swamp. That way, no one will be able to find them. So, we shouldn’t be in any trouble. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded his head. He also hoped that things would turn out this way. They were too weak now. If the power behind Zhao Zui and the others found out that it was Zhao Hai and the others who had taken care of the immortal mercenaries, they would definitely come after Zhao Hai. By then, they would not even need to do anything. As long as they spread the news, the old noble families in the Arkas Empire would immediately come after Zhao Hai and the others. They would be dead for sure.
Zhao Hai didn’t want to say anything more about this matter. He turned to green and said, &Quot; Grandpa Green, shouldn’t we make some preparations in advance for our trip to Casar city this time? let’s find a place to store the radishes first, and then let the people of the magedell family come and get them? ”
Green nodded and said, ” that’s right. Young master, you don’t have to worry. There are many manors and similar places near Casar city. We can buy a small Manor and put the radishes in it. Then, we can let the magedell family come and get them. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; that’s good. Although we’ve already reached an agreement with them, we have a gold medal in our hands. We should be able to raise the price, right? ”
“That’s right, this gold medal will be of great help to us,” green said with a smile.”If we take the gold medal and go to them to do this business, I wonder what they’ll do?” Especially Miss Laura, she has always regarded you as a very powerful black Mage. Now that a Black Mage suddenly changed her profession to selling vegetables, hahaha, I think her expression must be very interesting.”
Zhao Hai and the others laughed when they heard Grimm’s words. Now, Zhao Hai was even more determined to farm. Although they seemed to be quite strong now, with two level-eight experts, six level-six experts, and so many undead creatures, they were not afraid of death. But don’t forget, their enemy was even more powerful.
Needless to say, if the old nobles of the Arkas Empire knew that Zhao Hai had such a powerful force in his hands, they would probably join forces immediately and use the power of the country to destroy them.
Moreover, they had offended the mysterious organization behind Zhao Zui and his men. If that organization found out about Zhao Zui and his men, Zhao Hai and his men would be finished.
It could be said that although Zhao Hai had some power now, he could become a middle-level noble on the mainland. However, a large part of his power could not be exposed. If it was exposed, he would die. Therefore, they could only keep a low profile.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t mind using the gold Medallion that Laura had given him. Since the gold Medallion was given to him, it meant that he could use it. Anyway, his current identity was a black magician called Zhao Hai. There was no such person on the continent. Even if someone wanted to track him down, they would only be able to find the Montenegro fortress and nothing else.
The Montenegro fortress was in a mess, so it would be even more difficult to find him. No one would suspect the Buda family as everyone on the continent knew that ya Guang had drunk the void water. The undead creatures like Xenomorph were the best cover for his identity. No one would expect that someone who had drunk the void water could summon undead creatures. Even if someone wanted to investigate them, they would focus on Zhao Hai’s identity instead of the Buda family.
This way, Zhao Hai would have two identities, one in the light and one in the dark. When everyone was investigating his identity, the Buda family could hide in the dark and take the opportunity to develop.
After the battle just now, Zhao Hai understood that strength was everything. This was especially true on the ark continent. If he did not tell the truth, would Laura have been so polite to him? If he didn’t have the strength, would Laura give him the gold medal? If he did not have the ability, he would not have been able to recruit Zhao Zui and the others. If he did not have the ability, no matter how much money he earned, it would be snatched away by others sooner or later.
