Chapter 682 – Unimportant Person
Besmir understood that Zhao Hai wanted him to withdraw his army, minimizing the losses to the defending troops. At the same time, Zhao Hai would use his undead army to bear the brunt of the attack, after all, they were also strong enough to do so.
Besmire wasn't a fool, considering the manpower present in Demon City, it would be impossible for them alone to block the Demon Race. The previous time that the Demons attacked, it took the power of the entire continent to drive them back. Ninth rank experts joined in the resistance back then as well. Those 9th ranks even used forbidden sacrificial magic in order to seal up several spatial rifts. It was said that those 9th ranks were much stronger than the 9th ranks in the present time. And more importantly, a lot of forbidden magics have been lost from that day forth. If one were to compare the proficiency of magic today and in the past, then one could say that it might not have improved, and in terms of forbidden magics, then it might be even worse.
The reason why Besmir thought about all of these was because magic was something that was constantly being developed. It was just like how Earth developed from using cold weapons into using firearms, from using stone tools into using metal ones. However, that progress took thousands of years. The Ark Continent underwent the same process as well. After a long period of research, the continent's progress was also quite amazing.
As far as people were concerned, the magic of the continent tens of thousands of years ago wasn't as complicated as it was now. That magic back then was just powerful, especially the forbidden magics, it had the power to move mountains Although forbidden magics can still accomplish this at the present time, one shouldn't forget the fact that only very few Mages were able to use forbidden magics.
People who had studied history discovered that tens of thousands of years ago, promoting to 9th rank was much easier than it was now. At that time, there were even news that people had been ascending to the Divine Realm. But after that, there were no information of people ascending for tens of thousands of years.
Although this point made people confused, their research yielded them with no results. In the end, the researchers just reckoned that the magic elements present in the continent right now was much thinner compared to back then. But was it really like this? Nobody knows.
However, even if forbidden magics were very rare in the present time, the continent had actually taken another road when it comes to magic. Some low to mid-level magics have become stronger compared to back then. There were also a lot of Mages right now, so if one would really compare, then the current magical level wasn't that worse compared to before.
But while people can say that its no worse than tens of thousands of years ago, nobody would dare say that it was stronger. If it took the entire continent to repel the Demons last time, then it would also take the entire continent to repel the Demons now.
Although Besmir didn't know about the situation of the Demon Race, he was quite smart, he knew that the spatial cracks in the past had appeared by accident. The Demons weren't aware that those spatial cracks would appear, they were also very ignorant when it comes to the Ark Continent.
But now, it was different, the Demons had been aware of the Ark Continent for tens of thousands of years. Although they were defeated and had the spatial cracks sealed, the Demons still waited for many years in order to invade the Ark Continent.
The previous Demon invasion can be said to be done in haste, they just didn't have time to prepare. But now that they were prepared, there was no way to solidly compare the two events. Therefore, blocking the Demons here would certainly prove impossible. Besmir's purpose here was to delay the Demons for a couple of days, giving the continent time to gear up.
When he heard Zhao Hai's plan, Besmir couldn't help but nod and said, "Alright, then we'll be doing it according to Mister's plan. Does mister have any more ideas?"
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I don't. However I'll be heading to the Gan Family and then going to the Demonic Abyss to take a look. I want to clear all the undead and magic beasts there before the Demons arrive otherwise they might aid the Demons in their invasion."
Besmir stared, then he knit his eyebrows and said, "Mister, that is too dangerous. I suggest that you don't go."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "General can rest assured, I already had managed to explore several Forbidden Areas of the Continent. I had been to the Northern Icefield as well as the Carrion Swamp. The Demonic Abyss shouldn't be any different from those." Then Zhao Hai turned around and walked towards outside.
When Besmir heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but stare. There were few people who were aware that Zhao Hai went to the Northern Icefield, however, the fact that he had explored the Carrion Swamp wasn't well known. Zhao Hai's exploration of the Carrion Swamp was what made Besmir astonished.
The people of the continent had always speculated that the Buda Clan had a secret territory somewhere. Otherwise, where would the family's good products come from? However, up until now, people weren't able to find it. But if one adds Zhao Hai's statement that he had explored the Carrion Swamp, seeing how well he was doing, and the fact that the Black Wasteland was still owned by the Buda Clan, Besmir immediately thought that the Buda Clan's mysterious territory was actually their first territory in the continent, the Black Wasteland.
What was this? Is there something good out there in the Black Wasteland? It depends on which hands it falls into. Other Dark Mages can control thousands of undead, and it was known that Zhao Hai can control undead that numbered in the millions. If he can do this, then why can't he grow something in the Black Wasteland?
Zhao Hai didn't care about what Besmir was thinking. The reason he told Besmir about this fact was because he was already prepared to reveal the Black Wasteland to the entire continent. At this point, there was no use for him if he were to take the Black Wasteland as his secret.
After Zhao Hai left the General's residence, a carriage driver immediately bowed towards him and said, "Mister, I am the General's personal carriage driver. I have been given the task of taking you wherever you want."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I want to go to the Gan Family, do you know the way?"
The carriage driver immediately replied, "Of course, Mister, there's no place in Demon City that I am unable to find. I ask Mister to please board the carriage."
Zhao Hai nodded and went into the carriage while the driver held the door open for him. Then the carriage immediately soared towards the Gan Family. In Demon City, there were only few people who don't know of the Gan Family. However, the family's residence wasn't very special. There were no special structures anywhere, it looks just like an ordinary residence with a very ordinary courtyard.
As soon as the carriage stopped in front of the Gan Family's residence, the carriage driver immediately got down from the carriage and went to two Gan Family members who were guarding the gate. When the two Gan family members saw the carriage driver, they immediately recognized him, one of them said, "Barn, I didn't expect that you'd come. We really can't accommodate you, do you know who we're expecting today? It's mister Zhao Hai. Therefore, the family can't really receive visitors now."
Barn smiled at the two people and said, "I was given an order by General Besmir, starting today, I will be acting as Mister Zhao Hai's carriage driver. Today, Mister Zhao Hai asked me to take him here to see the Gan Family." After Barn said that, he quickly opened the door as Zhao Hai walked down from the carriage.
The two people from the Gan family were shocked, then didn’t think that Barn would actually be Zhao Hai's carriage driver. Although Barn's driving skills and carriage were the best in Demon City, they still didn't expect Zhao Hai to sit in Barn's carriage. They thought that Zhao Hai would be visiting the Gan Family on board the General's special carriage.
Actually, this arrangement was made by Besmir. He wasn't actually very stingy in handing his carriage over, however, he was given information by the Buddha Emperor that Zhao Hai preferred to be low-key if possible. Making a huge show wouldn't be to Zhao Hai's liking. Therefore, Besmir decided to have Barn take Zhao Hai around. Naturally, this arrangement was very well liked by Zhao Hai.
After seeing Zhao Hai come out, the two immediately responded, they took steps towards Zhao Hai before bowing, "We have seen Mister Zhao Hai. Mister, please come in.' Then one of them escorted Zhao Hai in while the other ran as fast as he could to report the matter to the family. Naturally, the first one to be informed would be the Patriarch of the Gan Family.
Zhao Hai wasn't surprised about this situation, he turned his head towards the doorman and said, "Hey, are you very familiar with Barn?" The Gan Family member didn’t think that Zhao Hai would be very polite. He couldn't help but gape his mouth, unable to speak.
Zhao Hai looked at the person's expression and smiled faintly, "Don't be anxious, just answer my question, I won't eat you."
The Gan family member recovered, his face couldn’t help but turn red as he apologized, "I'm very sorry Mister, I have been rude. Right, I am very familiar with Barn. He grew up inside Demon City and his parents were adventurers. But one time, his parents went to the Demonic Abyss to explore, only to never come back. After then he became a beggar in Demon City before working for other people when he grew older. Afterwards, when he had the money, he bought himself a horse carriage, becoming Demon City's best carriage driver. With him having grown up in the city, there were nobody who bullied him, making him enjoy a good life. When the news about the Demon invasion came and civilians were leaving, Barn decided to stay behind. He said that although he couldn't fight and help in resisting the Demons, he would still offer his carriage to help the army with transportation. General Besmir felt grateful for Barn's decision so he decided to have Barn be his residence's attendant."
Chapter 683 – Slaves
Zhao Hai quietly listened to the words of the Gan Family member. If Zhao Hai was an influential person in the continent, then this Barn was a very small and unimportant person. In his entire life, Barn could only become a carriage driver, besides slaves, he was among the lowest ranked people in the continent.
However, Zhao Hai was actually touched by this unimportant person. He didn't have the strength yet he still offered his efforts to defend his home. If the continent were to have a lot of people like this, then the continent would never fall. It wouldn't be a slave to the Divine Race nor would it be eliminated by the Demons, Zhao Hai had a firm belief of this point.
When he heard the doorman's words, turned towards the carriage and looked at the scenery. Standing nearby the carriage was Barn, peacefully standing there while looking at the surroundings. It seems like it didn't matter to Barn whether he had seen this scenery before or not.
Zhao Hai felt like Barn was like 1900 in the move 'The Legend of 1900'. Ever since childhood, Barn didn't leave Demon City, the same as 1900 who didn't leave the ship. Their lives were reflections of each other. The outside world was too big, and because of this, both of them were afraid. This made them decide to just stay in their own world. It also made Zhao Hai reflect on his life back on Earth, when he was just an ordinary nerd.
The Gan Family member was confused as he looked at Zhao Hai. He didn't know why Zhao Hai stopped. Moreover, he was looking at Barn with a very strange gaze. However, the Gan Family member didn't say anything, with his status, he didn't have the merit to disturb Zhao Hai. Not only him, even if the Gan Family Patriarch were to see Zhao Hai, he would still need to respect Zhao Hai's actions.
Then Zhao Hai turned his head towards the doorman and said, "Let's go." He had made a decision, he would lead Barn to the outside world. He wanted Barn to see another world other than his own, even if it meant that Barn would know about the Space.
Although it was said that the Gan Family's residence was common, it wasn't small. Just after Zhao Hai walked through the first courtyard, he suddenly heard some footsteps in the distance. Then as the footsteps got louder, several people appeared. These people were wearing mage's robes, it seems like they are the core members of the Gan Family.
On their lead was 50-year old Mage. He didn't have a very magnificent robe, and the staff on his hand seems like it was made out of beast bones. His hair was somewhat gray but it was actually very neat. If one were to see Wei Gan and see him as embarrassing, then this person exudes the presence of seriousness.
However, instead of seriousness this old Mage had a very excited look on his face. When he saw Zhao Hai, he immediately walked towards Zhao Hai and knelt, "Mister, please forgive me for being unable to personally welcome you. I ask mister to excuse my bad manners. I am the Patriarch of the Gan Clan, Tywin Gan." The Mages behind him knelt down as well. This action gave the doorman an extreme fright. When the core members saw Zhao Hai, they didn't just salute, they actually knelt. The doorman was afraid that he had been very disrespectful.
Zhao Hai didn't expect these people to go overboard with their greeting. He immediately helped Tywin up as he said, "Why would Patriarch Tywin give me such an overboard greeting? This Zhao Hai won't dare accept it."
Tywin bowed down and said, "Mister can surely accept it. If mister can't then nobody could. Our Gan Family is willing to be Mister's slaves, I hope mister can agree."
Zhao Hai stared, being a slave was completely different from being vassals. Vassals have their own autonomy, it would be fine as long as they obey their master's orders. However, slaves didn't have the right to autonomy. In the future, they would need to obey Zhao Hai's every word. They would do what Zhao Hai wanted them to do.Zhao Hai couldn't understand, why would they suddenly decide to become his slaves?
Zhao Hai didn't agree immediately, instead, he calmly said, "Patriarch is too polite. I will not accept for now. Can we go in and discuss it first?"
Tywin immediately replied, "Of course, we have been disrespectful. Mister, please come in." Then he led Zhao Hai towards through the courtyard and then to a lobby. Then he asked Zhao Hai to sit down while all of them stayed standing.
Zhao Hai looked at them and calmly asked, "Might I know why your Family wanted to become my Clan's slaves?"
Tywin settled his own emotions down and seriously replied, "I'll be totally honest to Mister, after this Demon Race matter gets finished, we won't be able to stay inside Demon City anymore. We had stayed inside Demon City for a long time, but we still haven't made any close friends. Even if we side with the Calci Family, we still can't be assured of our future. Therefore, we decided to side with Mister. You are the continent's strongest Dark Mage, so we want to rely on you for survival. And since we don't have the abilities to be vassals, we are willing to be your slaves."
Zhao Hai looked at Tywin, he can somewhat understand the sorrows of this small clan. Therefore, Zhao Hai nodded and said, "How many people currently belong to the Gan Family?"
Tywin immediately replied, "We have a total of 17 Dark Mages in the family. Seven 4th ranks, three 5th ranks, three 6th ranks, two 7th ranks, and two 8th ranks. There are also 32 other members along with 10 slaves."
Zhao Hai nodded, the number was not a lot. He turned his head to Tywin and said, "You really want to be my Clan's slaves? You can think about it more."
Hearing that Zhao Hai seems to be willing, Tywin quickly said, "We are willing, very willing. Mister, rest assured, we already discussed this with everyone."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, I agree. Starting today, you shall call me Young Master. Call all your family members as well as slaves, I shall be sending them to a safe place. The Dark Mages would have to remain, I need you somewhere else."
Tywin immediately responded, "Yes, Young Master. We will arrange it right away." Then he immediately told the Dark Mages behind him to arrange the things that Zhao Hai had ordered. Then Tywin stayed to listen for further instructions from Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Most people in the continent only know that I am a Dark Mage, but they didn't know how I became one. Since you have become my slaves, then I shall be open about you about these. After this matter, I shall tell you. In the meantime, I shall be using my Space Divergent Technique in order to send your family members to the Black Wasteland, that place is the true place of my Buda Clan. Then I shall be giving all of you potions, elevating your strengths to 9th rank. I'llbe leading you to the Demonic Abyss in order to eliminate all the magic beasts and undead there so that they cannot become part of the Demon army."
Even if Zhao Hai hadn't revealed too much, these small secrets were enough to make the Gan Family Dark Mages excited. Zhao Hai telling them things that ordinary people couldn't know meant that Zhao Hai already treated them as his Clan's slaves.
Although being a slave to another wasn't the most glorious thing, it still depends on where one was a slave to. Slaves of an Emperor were still powerful people, and Zhao Hai himself was a monarch.
There weren't a lot of people in the Gan Family and they didn't have a lot of belongings. In a place like Demon City, one couldn't really get that much belongings.
Zhao Hai arrived outside and when he saw the others he nodded, then he said to Tywin, "You arrange two people to go guide them. When they arrive at the Black Wasteland, someone will arrange their accomodation. Tell them to not be anxious and just follow instructions."
Tywin nodded, then he immediately acted on Zhao Hai's instructions. Before long, everything was arranged. Then Zhao Hai opened a spatial rift and took these people to the Black Wasteland.
Just when he had agreed to take the Gan Family as his slaves, Cai'er already went to inform Green and the others. There weren't a lot of people this time, so Green shouldn't have any problems in accommodating these people. Green had already arranged residences for tens of thousands of people, this matter should be very easy.
However, Green stil needed to take special attention to these people. After all, they had just become the Buda Clan's slaves. Therefore, they should be given the same accommodation as the clan's slaves. They were going to be arranged at Iron Mountain Fort.
Before long, the two Gan Family Dark Mages came back. Seeing that the two Dark Mages had arrived, Zhao Hai immediately turned to Tywin and said, "Have all of the family's Dark Mages come here. I shall be giving you potions that would make you 9th ranks at the shortest time."
They looked at Zhao Hai with surprised expressions, this was because Zhao Hai had told them that he would make them into 9th ranks. Although Zhao Hai had told them about this beforehand, they just thought that they had misheard him. Their strongest members were 8th ranks, and even them didn't know when they'll become 9th ranks. Therefore, what they got from Zhao Hai's previous announcement was that they would just get stronger by a bit, and not become 9th ranks. But it seems like they had not misheard Zhao Hai, he really wanted to make them 9th ranks. Was this possible?"
Zhao Hai looked at their expressions and coldly snorted, "Don't doubt me, even my undead are 9th ranks. Otherwise, where would I find the confidence to trash the Dragons?"
Tywin, who was still shocked, immediately recovered and bowed down, "Please forgive us, Young Master. We don't dare doubt the Young Master's words." The other Dark Mages also bowed down to Zhao Hai, "Please forgive us, Young Master."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Alright, don't doubt me from now on. Your Young Master is a God-ranked expert, I just didn't decide to ascend to the Divine Realm. I tell you this, the laws of this world can't control me. I want to head towards the Demonic Abyss this time in order to promote my own strength. But since you had sided with me, then I shall increase your strengths. After all, I cannot manage everything in the continent, so I would have you be my representatives. And since you represent my Buda Clan, I can't have you looking so weak lest you lose face for the clan."
All of them were stunned, however, they couldn't hide the excitement on their faces. They didn't expect Zhao Hai to be a God-ranked expert. No wonder Zhao Hai dared to eliminate the Dragons. All of them were extremely happy, they didn't think that they would actually serve a God-ranked expert. There was zero shame in becoming slaves to a God-ranked expert, in fact, it might even cause envy on a lot of people.
Chapter 684 – Gan Clan and Barn
The reason why Zhao Hai dared to say these words to these people was because he has his own plans. He was not afraid that these people would reveal his secrets. He would make them into 9th ranks and then bring them to the Demonic Abyss in order to fight against the magic beasts as well as the undead. He wanted to do it in this way because he wanted to see the reactions that came with these people.
If they were sincere with him, then the advantages that they would gain wouldn’t be small. However, if they were insincere, then Zhao Hai would have no choice but to be impolite.
But Zhao Hai was just being too overly careful this time. Being a slave to the Buda Clan wasn't a shame. In fact, having a God-ranked expert as well as an Emperor as a master was something that not a lot of people could have.
Zhao Hai withdrew a bottle of water, naturally, this water was Spatial water. This water can help the Gan Family members become 8th ranks. When they arrive at that rank, then they would consume God's blood in order to become 9th ranks.
Zhao Hai gave the bottle over to Tywin and said, "This is a potion that can elevate your level. However, this is only effective up until you become 8th rank. When all of you become 8th rank, you come back to me."
Tywin was shaking while he received the bottle of Spatial Water. For their family, this bottle was extremely precious. There were potions in the continent that would elevate the levels of Mages and Warriors, however, those potions were very expensive!
Even Great Nobles were reluctant to spend that money. In the minds of the Great Nobles, instead of spending a huge amount of money to buy that potion, they might as well spend that in training someone with high talent. It was because of this that potions that can upgrade levels became very rare in the continent.
After handing the potion over, Zhao Hai turned around and returned to the living room. He wanted to see how long these people would take in order to rank up.
One must know that this potion was much better than the one before. Zhao Hai believed that upgrading ranks this time would be much faster than back then with Laura and the others. At the same time, Zhao Hai also noticed that the low-ranked Dark Mages of the Gan Family weren't in their current rank because of their lack of talent, but because of their young age instead. In fact, if one were to compare the Gan Family's talent with the rest of the continent, then they can be deemed to be quite gifted. One must know that aside from the difficulty of reaching 9th rank, being an 8th rank was quite hard as well, there were even some small clans that didn't have these 8th ranks. But the Gan Family, while being in Demon City, actually managed to produce two 8th ranks. This was sufficient evidence for their lineage.
There was not much control in Demon City, but in the same way, this made them isolated towards the supplies of the continent. If one were to see the Buddha Empire's capital as a metropolis of magic, then Demon City would be that small village in the outskirts of the Empire, a small village that was regularly attacked by wild beasts.
When he saw Tywin and the others discussing about the potion and then cultivating, Zhao Hai came out of the living room, he wanted to see Barn. At this point, all of the Gan Family's servants have left. Originally, Tywin wanted to keep some people here but Zhao Hai didn't agree. This way, he didn't have to worry about these people and even made it easier for him to walk around. More importantly, there wouldn't be a lot of people who would come and give him greetings.
Barn was currently sitting outside his horse carriage, patiently waiting for Zhao Hai. Seeing Barn's attitude, Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Barn, come here."
Barn was sitting in his carriage while in a daze. He knew that there was only a small chance for this home of his to remain. This was the reason why he was in a daze, he has never left Demon City in his entire life. If he left this place, he wouldn't know how to live, therefore, he chose to stay behind.
When Barn heard Zhao Hai, he immediately recovered. He looked at Zhao Hai who called him from the Gan Family's gate. He stared for a moment before he quickly jumped down from the carriage and went towards Zhao Hai. Then he gave a bow and said, "Mister, do you need me for anything?"
Zhao Hai looked at Barn and said, "Barn, come with me, I have something to tell you." Barn nodded, then followed Zhao Hai into the Gan Family's residence.
After entering the Gan Family's residence, Barn felt that it was empty. He had visited the Gan Family once or twice before, and he recognized almost all of the people in the Gan Family. However, he wasn’t able to see any of them when he entered this time. It was as if the entire Gan Family had vanished.
But Barn didn't dare to ask as he followed Zhao Hai into the Gan Family's living room. Then Zhao Hai sat down as Barn respectfully stood there. Zhao Hai saw Barn's anxious face and couldn't help but smile, "Barn, there's no need to be nervous. I want to ask, are you willing to leave Demon City?"
Barn stared for a moment, he didn't expect Zhao Hai to ask him about this issue. He couldn't think of a good answer. He can just refuse and use the same reason that he gave the General, wanting to protect Demon City. However, he would be lying if he said so. At the same time, Barn had the feeling that he had been seen through by Zhao Hai. Therefore, he really can't say that he wanted to stay in Demon City, willing to fall along with the City's demise.
Zhao Hai looked at Barn's expression and smiled faintly, "Can't think of a good reply? You don't want to leave Demon City? After all, this is your home right? But as you can see, this place was also the home of the Gan Family, but now all of them had left save for the family's Dark Mages. All of them had been sent away by me. Barn, if you want to leave, then I can send you to my Buda Clan's territory, making you live a whole new life there. Also, I forgot to tell you, I am not talking about Golden Island, it is a different place. Are you willing to go?"
Barn stared, he really hadn't thought this point through, he looked puzzled at Zhao Hai as he asked, "Why would Mister want to help me?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "No special reason, I can just see a certain person's shadow on you. Barn, I know what you're thinking. You have never left Demon City since you were a child, so you don't know how you'll live once you go outside. This made you afraid, so you decided to stay in the city. I can arrange for you to live in my Buda Clan's territory, I can even have someone offer you a job or you can continue driving your carriage. You don't have to worry about your life changing so much. You will be able to meet new people and also make new friends. So, do you want to go?"
Barn looked at Zhao Hai, then suddenly he made a serious question, "Mister, if I went there, can I continue to drive your carriage?"
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but stare at this question, he didn’t think that Barn would ask this, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "If you want to drive my carriage for me, then that's no problem. However, you have not cultivated yet, this wouldn't be good. After you go there, then I will make them teach you cultivation. After you have reached a high enough level, then you can drive my carriage."
Barn knitted his brows and said, "This, Mister, I hadn't cultivated before. And I'm not very young anymore. Wouldn't it be too late for me to start cultivation?"
Zhao Hai actually laughed and said, "There's never too late Barn. Rest assured, whether you learn magic or battle qi, as long as you are willing to practice, then I can make you into an expert in a short period of time. What now? You want to go?"
As soon as Barn heard Zhao Hai, his two eyes lit up as he answered, "Mister, is that true? Then I'm willing! I want to go!"
Zhao Hai laughed and said, "Alright. Barn, to be honest, you are completely unable to provide help here even if you choose to stay behind. I shall be sending you to the Black Wasteland, people will be there to arrange you to your place. Right, do you want to go along with your carriage?"
Barn's face expressed his excitement as he said, "You can do that mister? That's fantastic! Thank you very much!"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Starting today, just call me Young Master. Now go and drive your carriage towards the back door." Barn nodded and then ran outside to get his carriage. Zhao Hai told Cai'er about Barn's situation and then had Green and the others arrange a place for Barn to live in. Before long, Barn arrived then Zhao Hai used the Space to send Barn and his carriage towards the Black Wasteland.
After completing all of these, Zhao Hai looked at the Gan Family's situation. Majority of them had already reached 8th rank, the other two were on the cusp of breaking through. But, Tywin was very faithful to Zhao Hai's order, he waited until all of them became 8th ranks before going to see Zhao Hai.
It was already noon when all of the family's Mages reached 8th rank. After that, they all went to the living room. Zhao Hai looked at the group and nodded. He took out a red vial of liquid and said, "This potion shall boost you from 8th rank to 9th rank. In a while, some people would come and invite me over for a meal in the General's residence. When I come back, all of you should have already reached 9th rank. After that, we'll depart towards the Demonic Abyss."
All of the Mages nodded, then at this time, a voice was suddenly heard from outside, "Is Mister Zhao Hai in? General Besmir is inviting Mister Zhao Hai over for a meal."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he turned his head to the Mages and said, "All of you work hard." The Gan Family nodded, then Tywin went and escorted Zhao Hai to the gate.
Waiting outside the gate was a team of cavalry. When they saw Zhao Hao come out, their captain immediately gave a bow and said, "The General is inviting Mister Zhao Hai over to dine."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, let's go. Barn has become my servant and has already left. Later on, you don't need to arrange a carriage for me, I can walk by myself." Then with an intention, Zhao Hai summoned Alien. He sat inside Alien's body before heading towards the General's residence.
Seeing Zhao Hai leave, Tywin turned to the others and said, "Did you hear the Young Master? Immediately go and cultivate. If Young Master comes back and someone is still not 9th rank, then I will be giving out punishments."
