Was it simple? In fact, this wasn’t simple at all. A trading company, a trading company that covered half the continent, could transmit information so quickly. Was this simple? Don’t forget, this was the ark continent, not earth, where information exploded, where everyone had a mobile phone and the Internet was available to everyone.
The fact that the makiel trading firm could do this on the ark continent was a Testament to its power. No one was willing to provoke such a trading firm. Even an Empire would not want to provoke such a trading firm. It was too dangerous.
Zhao Hai quietly listened to Green’s words. He realized that he had underestimated this world. Although this world’s technology was not as advanced as Earth’s, it had its own unique development trajectory. His understanding of this world was still too little.
“Grandpa Green, why do you think they’re watching us?” Zhao Hai asked. There are so many mages on the continent, they can’t be watching every single one of them, right?”
Grimm smiled. &Quot; the reason is because you’re a Black Mage, young master. No matter where a Black Mage goes, they’ll be watched. Especially since we didn’t go to Iron Mountain from Montenegro fortress. It’s equivalent to a sudden appearance. Of course, they’ll pay more attention. &Quot;
“So we’re leaving tomorrow?” Zhao Hai nodded.
&Quot; yes, we’re leaving tomorrow. Young master, it would cost us two gold coins to stay in a hotel like this for one night. To be honest, we might not be able to afford to stay for a few more nights. &Quot;
Zhao Hai laughed bitterly. Money was indeed a problem. Other transmigrators would immediately make a fortune in the other world, or they would be in a high position with beautiful women begging for their services. However, he had a broken territory, and he had to worry about the food and drinks of more than a hundred people. From time to time, he had to hide from the attacks of magical beasts. The most abominable thing was that although he had the space, which was a cheating device, he was still poor and could not even afford to stay in a hotel.
Seeing Zhao Hai’s expression, Ge Lin thought that Zhao Hai was feeling sorry for their current situation. He quickly consoled Zhao Hai, ” “Young master, we’ll have money after we sell the radishes. You don’t have to be sad.”
Zhao Hai didn’t know how to explain to green, so he just smiled and said, ” “I’m fine, but we shouldn’t stay in hotels like this in the future. Let’s find a place outside the city and stay in the space.”
&Quot; yes. &Quot; Clint nodded. &Quot; I’ll only be staying here for a day to attract the attention of the mackiderre family. I won’t be staying here in the future. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and looked around the room. It was not small at all. One living room, five bedrooms, and one bathroom. It was not bad.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Clint quickly stood up to open the door. A waiter was standing outside the door, holding a large tray in his hands. On the tray were a few loaves of bread and three plates. The dishes inside were quite good.
Grimm took the plate, gave the waiter a few copper coins as a tip, and sent him away. He didn’t know that after the waiter went downstairs, he immediately ran to a very hidden room in the shop and knocked on the door. The fat boss’s voice came from inside, ” “Come in,”
The waiter pushed the door open and walked in. It was a bedroom. The decoration inside was very simple. Other than a bed, there was only a table and a chair. The fat boss was sitting on the chair with a pen in his hand.
When he heard the sound of the door, he said without looking up, ” “Did you find anything?”
The waiter stood there respectfully and said in a deep voice, ” &Quot; their identities might not be simple. They might be nobles, but they probably don’t live a good life. I only gave them some ordinary food, and they didn’t say anything. They even gave me a tip, but not much. &Quot;
The fat boss nodded and waved his hand. The waiter turned around and left, but the fat boss sat there and pondered. As the head of intelligence of the magadal family in the Montenegro fortress, his intelligence work was still very good. The reason was that he was very careful and good at observing people.
He had asked the waiter to serve them some dishes that were not the best because he wanted to see who Zhao Hai and the others were. He wanted to find out from their reactions what kind of people they were.
On the mainland, only nobles would tip waiters. Under normal circumstances, even businessmen would not tip waiters. Therefore, the waiter could tell that Zhao Hai and his friends were nobles.
The aristocrats were usually very demanding when it came to food and drink. However, Zhao Hai and his friends were in a bad situation, so they naturally did not have too many requirements. In addition, the tip they gave was only copper coins. That was why the waiter said that Zhao Hai and his friends were not living well.
This put the fat boss in a difficult position. Although mages had the same status as nobles, many of them were not really nobles. If they were nobles and mages, they would definitely be put in an important position by the country and wouldn’t have to live too badly. Therefore, the reaction of Zhao Hai and the others made the fat boss unable to judge their identity for a while.
In the end, the fat boss wrote down the situation and went to a secret room through a secret door behind the bedroom. There was a row of cages in the secret room, and each cage had an eagle-like magical beast called wind Falcon. It was a magical beast that could fly very fast and was usually used to deliver letters after being trained.
The fat boss took out a wind Falcon, picked up the fresh meat next to it and fed it. Then, he rolled up the information he had written carefully and put it into a small bamboo tube on the wind Falcon’s claws. After sealing it with wax, he took the wind Falcon out and set it free.
It was naturally impossible for a large family like the magicians to pay attention to every small matter, but the appearance of Zhao Hai and the others was too sudden. In addition, he was a black magician, so the fat boss had no choice but to pay attention to them.
For people, black magicians represented negative words such as danger, gloominess, and strangeness. As long as a black magician appeared in a place, it would definitely be noticed by all forces. These forces generally adopted a method of not offending or befriending black magicians. That was why the fat boss paid so much attention to Zhao Hai and his friends.
However, the actions of the fat boss were within Grimm’s expectations. He had expected such a situation to occur when he asked Zhao Hai to pretend to be a black magician. This was exactly the effect they wanted. With such a high-profile action, no one would naturally associate them with the Buda family. This way, it would be safer for them to turn the tables.
Zhao Hai and the others went to rest after eating. They didn’t go to the Montenegro fortress for a stroll. Don’t forget that Zhao Hai was a black magician. Black magicians wouldn’t go shopping for no reason. Besides, the Black Mountain fortress was very chaotic. To avoid trouble, Zhao Hai and the others wouldn’t go out for a stroll.
Fortunately, Zhao Hai was a homebody. He did not like to go shopping, so he did not feel uncomfortable. In addition, he had been traveling for the past few days. He was very tired. Now that he could have a good rest in such a good place, he was naturally very willing.
The day passed peacefully, but everyone in the Montenegro fortress knew that a black magician had come. No one provoked him, but they all hoped that Zhao Hai and the others would leave quickly.
Zhao Hai and the others agreed with their wishes. The next morning, they left the Montenegro fortress on the back of the Xenomorphs. The mercenaries were envious of them.
There were three paths leading out of the Montenegro fortress. The left path led to the crops production base of the Versailles Duchy, the ika Plains. That was the territory of the Versailles family. The terrain was very flat and suitable for growing white wheat. There were a large number of slaves working for the family there.
The road on the right led to Beck forest, which was the main source of wood in the Duchy of Versailles. At the same time, it was also the territory of the Versailles family and one of their main sources of income.
Under normal circumstances, very few people would go to these two paths. This was because the Versailles family’s fief was filled with slaves. There were no business opportunities there, so naturally, no one was willing to go there.
The road in the middle led to the largest city in the Duchy of Versailles, the capital of the Duchy of Versailles, Casar city, known as the Pearl of the North of the Arkas Empire.
Of course, Zhao Hai and the others were not going to the grain-producing area or the lumber yard. They were out to sell radishes, so they naturally had to go to kassa city. The Commerce there was very prosperous.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai and the others were still on their way. However, they were no longer in the black soil wasteland. They had been in the black soil wasteland for three days and had not seen a single person. Instead, they had seen black soil. Now, they were in the Versailles Duchy, where there were many people. They could see many pedestrians and carriages on the road. They could also see forests and farmland by the side of the road.
However, because Zhao Hai’s group’s form was too powerful, people would avoid them when they saw them. Even so, Zhao Hai was very satisfied. No matter what, he could finally see people and didn’t have to rush on the road as boring as before.
It made sense when he thought about it. A warrior that looked like an iron can was sitting on the head of a huge skeleton, and a black-robed black magician was sitting in the chest. Although there was a sweet-looking little beauty sitting next to him, this combination was very strange in itself, not to mention the fierce reputation of the black magician. It would be strange if people on the road didn’t avoid them.
Zhao Hai and the others had done what they said before. Even when they passed by the small cities, they didn’t stay in the cities. Instead, they went outside the cities and found a place with no one around. Then, they returned to the origin space. This made their whereabouts seem uncertain and even more strange.
