&Nbsp; Zhao Hai continued forward. This time, the villages they came across had people, and there were more people on the road. This made Zhao Hai and the others feel at ease.
However, seeing the people in the village, Zhao Hai was deeply touched. To be honest, although a level-six black magician was very strong, in the eyes of a true powerhouse, they were nothing. If a level-six black magician were to fight against Grimm or Merlin one-on-one, Merlin and Grimm would have the ability to kill them in seconds.
However, an existence like this, which was like an ant in Merlin’s eyes, was like a god in the eyes of the ordinary civilians. They could kill them at will, and the civilians had no chance to resist at all.
Zhao Hai knew that if he didn’t have the space, he would be no different from these commoners. In the eyes of these powerhouses, he was also an ant-like existence.
He wanted to become stronger, but it was a pity that he had drunk the water of nothingness. He couldn’t learn any magic or battle energy, and the only thing he could rely on was space.
‘I’m an ant-like existence. Alright then, I’ll have the awareness of being an ant. I won’t think about conquering anything, nor will I think about snatching anything. I just want to live my life well.’
However, Zhao Hai also understood that it was not easy to lead a good life. Just because he did not cause trouble did not mean that trouble would not come looking for him. If he wanted to lead a stable life, he needed to have the power to ensure that he could lead a stable life. Obviously, he still had the power to do so.
Power, power! This was the first time Zhao Hai had such a strong desire for power. Unfortunately, he had no way to increase his power.
The realm was magical, but it lacked offensive power. However, it could subdue some undead creatures for his own use. However, it wasn’t easy to collect undead creatures. He didn’t dare to go into the rotten corpse swamp to collect undead creatures. It was no different from seeking death. Zhao Hai could still clearly remember the day he stood on the castle wall and watched the swamp’s demonic beasts and undead creatures swarm toward him. It was too shocking.
Before he had the power to protect himself, how could he live a stable life? There was only one answer, and that was to find a place where no one could find him.
The Black Earth wilderness was a good choice. It was close to the danger zone, so no one would pay attention to it. However, there was a problem now. The people that the Buda family had provoked in the past.
The others might not notice them, but the nobles would definitely notice them. They had to think of a way to get the attention of the nobles. It seemed like they had to get Zhao Zui and the others to subdue the undead creatures in the swamp as soon as possible. It would be best if they could create something else to attract the nobles ‘attention.
He hoped that what he had done would distract the nobles from paying attention to the Buda family. Otherwise, Zhao Hai and the others would be in trouble.
However, Zhao Hai thought of another method, which was to quickly level up the realm. As long as the realm reached level 10, he would be able to open a farm.
If he opened the farm, he could bring all kinds of plants into the realm, and the realm would level up. If he opened the ranch, did that mean he could bring all the animals on the ark continent into the realm and level up? If that was the case, then he would be able to subdue the magical beasts, and he would have another power.
In fact, when the demonic beasts had entered the blackdirt wastelands, Zhao Hai had tried to store them into the boundless space. However, he had failed. It was clear that the boundless space was not yet capable of storing demonic beasts. It seemed like he would have to wait until the ranches were open.
Level, level, why is this like playing a game? if your level is low, you’ll be bullied everywhere. Just you wait, don’t let your daddy’s level get high. When your daddy’s level is high, I’ll raise a group of divine beasts and kill you all.
As he thought about these things, he carried the alien through the cities and counties. When they passed by the small cities, Zhao Hai didn’t enter the city. If he wanted to enter the city, he had to put away the alien. Besides, there was no point in staying in the city for one night. So, Zhao Hai and the others went around the city and found a hidden place to hide for the night. They entered the origin space.
However, Zhao Hai had still sent green and the others to the city to understand the situation. This time, the undead mercenary group had made such a big move, so it was impossible for the people here to not have heard about it. Thus, Zhao Hai wanted to send green to understand and see how this matter would develop.
The result was out of Zhao Hai’s expectations. He thought that the matter would be serious since a few villages had lost their lives. However, he did not expect the news that Glyn brought back to be so normal. The Versailles Duchy had only issued a warrant for the undying mercenaries. After that, the lands in the villages were taken over by the Versailles family. They then sent slaves to farm the land. After that, there was no more. The matter was over.
Hearing Green’s words, Zhao Hai felt a little dizzy. This was the first time he understood how much power the nobles had on this continent.
In the eyes of the nobles, the lives of the civilians were not a big deal. Perhaps they wanted more civilians to die so that they could increase their land area again.
Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. He was still not used to the way the people here thought. Perhaps in the eyes of the nobles, civilians and slaves were not human. However, in Zhao Hai’s eyes, humans were humans. Even if he was a slave, he was still a human.
The Versailles family was extremely cold towards the deaths of the commoners and the matters of the immortal mercenaries. However, they were extremely passionate towards the other two matters. One was the attack on the magicians, and the other was Zhao Hai’s matter.
Regarding the matter of the magedell family being attacked, it was said that the Versailles family was very enthusiastic. Not only did Grand Duke Versailles personally visit to express his condolences, but he also gave them some preferential policies such as tax exemption. It could be said that their enthusiasm was a little too much.
The other matter was regarding Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had appeared as a black magician, and it had already been spread that he was a high level black magician. A person like him would be extremely dangerous anywhere, so the Versailles family paid close attention to Zhao Hai.
Of course, Grimm had only heard this news from the mercenaries and merchants. He had not received any confirmation, but Grimm believed that there was no smoke without fire. This might be the truth.
Zhao Hai didn’t think it was a big deal. This was within their expectations. A high-level black magician was a killing machine anywhere. It would be strange if the Versailles family didn’t notice such an existence appearing in the Versailles Duchy.
In fact, this was the result that Zhao Hai wanted to see. The Versailles family had noticed them. Although this would bring them a lot of trouble, it was a good thing overall. They had focused all their attention on Zhao Hai’s identity as a black magician. Naturally, they would not think about the identity of Adam. This way, the identity of Adam would be even safer.
However, Zhao Hai and the others still noticed that there were always some mercenaries and adventurers around them these few days. These people did not have any ill intentions towards them, but Zhao Hai and the others knew that they were being watched.
Zhao Hai and the others had expected this to happen. They didn’t do anything and continued on their way. However, at night, after they entered the realm, they left the alien outside. They wanted the people watching them to think that they were resting inside the alien’s body.
Zhao Hai didn’t know that the people who were monitoring them were envious of them. Although there were many Black Mages on the continent who could summon undead creatures to keep with them, there were very few like Zhao Hai.
There were many types of undead creatures that The Black Mages on the continent could summon. There were skeletons, zombies, succubi, and so on. It could be said that skeletons were the lowest level of undead that all dark Summoners could summon.
Even if the black magicians could summon skeletons, they couldn’t use them as mounts. Skeletons were all bones and too hard. Even if someone used skeletons to travel, they would usually use a few human-shaped skeletons to carry a carriage-like thing. It was not as comfortable as Zhao Hai.
Although skeletons were the lowest level undead creatures that dark Summoners could summon, everyone who saw the Xenomorphs knew that the skeleton Zhao Hai summoned was not one of them.
The dark green color, the ferocious bone spikes, the speed of a galloping horse, and the power that Zhao Hai had unintentionally displayed all made the people who were watching him feel apprehensive. They really wanted to know what kind of demonic beast Zhao Hai had killed to become an undead creature.
There were two types of dark Summoners ‘summoned beasts. The first type was summoned directly from another dimension. This type of summoning was very random. It didn’t mean that you wanted to summon a skeleton but a zombie suddenly appeared. Instead, it meant that you didn’t know what level the thing you summoned was. For example, you wanted to summon a skeleton to fight but the thing you summoned was a gray half-skeleton that didn’t have much combat power. An adult could crush it with a kick, let alone use it in battle. In other words, there was no way to control the level of the undead creatures that were summoned by this summoning spell.
There were different levels of skeletons. The lowest level was the gray half-body skeleton. In the undead world, these skeletons were like weeds without any attack power. Their only value was to be used as nourishment for other undead creatures to advance.
However, this summoning spell was also the most commonly used by dark Summoners because it did not require much mana. Even a low-level Summoner could use it multiple times. Of course, the higher the level of the mage, the stronger the mana, and the higher the level and variety of dark creatures that could be summoned. Even the lowest level of a nightmare had the strength of a Level-5 warrior, and it was not something that the low-level skeletons could compare to.
