Hearing Grimmâs question, Zhao Hai was stunned. They had already spoken a few sentences, and Grimm was still asking if these eight guys could speak? Isnât this too strange? Could it be that Grimm and the others could not hear him?
âGrandpa Green, weâve already said a few words. Did you not hear it?â Zhao Hai turned to look at green.
Grimm and the others shook their heads. Zhao Hai was now sure that Grimm and the others couldnât hear the conversation between him and the members of the undying mercenary group.
While Zhao Hai was still confused, Merlin said, â &Quot; alright, stop asking. Theyâre undead creatures, so how can they speak? but theyâre all high-level undead creatures and can communicate directly with young master through Spirit energy. To young master, it feels like theyâre speaking into her ear, but in fact, they donât make any sound. &Quot;
Zhao Hai and the rest finally understood after hearing Merlinâs words. Zhao Hai nodded and turned to look at the undying Black Mages.âSince youâve already called me master, then you donât have to use your previous name. Iâll give you a few names. Whoâs the Boss?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
The skeleton that had just spoken to Zhao Hai took a step forward and said, â âMaster, I am.â
Zhao Hai nodded and said, â 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, â the eight replied in unison. Although their intelligence wasnât affected much, the realm had already made them recognize Zhao Hai as their master. They naturally wouldnât refute Zhao Haiâs words.
Seeing that they had agreed, Zhao Hai continued, â &Quot; answer my question. Who told you that Laura has the Necromancerâs ball? â
Zhao Zui quickly replied, â master, we heard the news from a not-so-important peripheral member of the magicdare family. We didnât 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 familyâs internal struggle. It was nothing special.
Zhao Hai turned to Zhao Zui and said,âcall me young master from now on. Youâve robbed quite a lot of good stuff over the years.â Where are those things?â
âYoung master, even though weâve been out robbing for so many years, we rarely keep the things weâve robbed. Weâve handed them all over to our previous owners,â Zhao Zui said immediately.
Zhao Hai was taken aback. Then, his expression changed, â âPrevious master? Youâve recognized someone else as your master before? When was that?â
Zhao Zui quickly explained, â master, youâve misunderstood. Itâs 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 Zuiâs words, he did not feel relieved. Instead, his mood became even heavier. He quickly said,âWhat was the identity of your previous master?â
Zhao Zui shook his head. &Quot; we donât know. We rarely see him. Itâs always been a servant who takes care of us. Even when we see him, heâs wearing a black magic robe that covers his entire body. We canât see him. &Quot;
Zhao Haiâs 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 Haiâs chest color and quickly said, â âYoung master, whatâs wrong? Why do you look so pale?â
Zhao Hai glanced at green and the others. He then recounted his conversation with Zhao Zui and his own speculation. Green and the others âexpressions 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 personâs 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 didnât say anything, but their faces didnât look too good. They realized that this time they had really provoked a force that they shouldnât 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, â young master, we donât have to worry too much. No one will think that weâre 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, weâll immediately send Zhao Zui and the others to the rotten corpse swamp. That way, no one will be able to find them. So, we shouldnât 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 didnât want to say anything more about this matter. He turned to green and said, &Quot; Grandpa Green, shouldnât we make some preparations in advance for our trip to Casar city this time? letâs find a place to store the radishes first, and then let the people of the magedell family come and get them? â
Green nodded and said, â thatâs right. Young master, you donât 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; thatâs good. Although weâve already reached an agreement with them, we have a gold medal in our hands. We should be able to raise the price, right? â
âThatâs right, this gold medal will be of great help to us,â green said with a smile.âIf we take the gold medal and go to them to do this business, I wonder what theyâll do?â 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.â
Zhao Hai and the others laughed when they heard Grimmâs 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 donât 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 didnât 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 Haiâs 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 didnât 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.
