Laura calmly sat in the carriage with Nier sitting beside her. Now, the carriage they were riding wasn't the same one they used to go to Montenegro Fortress. When they went there, they had to keep their actions secret, so they were very low-key and used a very ordinary carriage. But when they came back, they didn't need to be low-key. Now, they were riding a four-wheeled carriage pulled by four snowflake colts.
The Snowflake Divine Colt was a fourth-level water magic beast. Its appearance was very similar to an ordinary horse, but its whole body was snow-white without a single strand of mixed hair. It also had some water magic. Most importantly, the Snowflake Divine Colt was very docile and very easy to tame. However, raising a Snowflake Divine Colt wasn't cheap. Because of this, there weren't many people on the continent who could afford to raise one. Even the average aristocrat couldn't do so. The Snowflake Divine Colt was a symbol of status.
The carriage that Laura and the others were sitting in wasn't an ordinary carriage. The whole carriage was divided into two rooms. The outermost layer was made of iron driftwood. This iron driftwood was not only as hard as steel, but it was also made of an anti-magic material that could resist magic attacks.
The inner layer was covered with a layer of bread cotton. The so-called bread cotton was a very peculiar plant on the continent. It was like a cotton flower, but it was very elastic and very loose. It was an excellent material for making all kinds of furniture.
Unfortunately, the yield of this cotton bread was very low. It wasn't something that ordinary people on the continent could afford. If Laura bought this carriage, she would be able to get at least ten thousand gold coins.
The total value of the four Snowflake Divine Colts was more than fifty thousand gold coins. It could be said that Laura's carriage wasn't a carriage, but a moving mountain of gold.
Laura's face was calm. Although the transaction was completed, their losses weren't small. They had lost more than three hundred guards. If it weren't for Zhao Hai, she wouldn't have survived.
Moreover, Laura was aware of another matter. Someone in the family was making a move against her. While she was in Montenegro Fortress, someone from the family had come to manage her business and arranged people to take over her business.
However, the people in the family still underestimated her for so many years. Although it wasn't a peaceful journey, she was still clear about her business. Those people arranged by the family seemed to have taken control of her business on the surface, but as long as she was willing, she could take it back at any time.
But right now, Laura didn't want to act. She didn't know if this was a decision made by the upper echelons of the family or the other heirs of the family.
If this was a decision made by the upper echelons of the family, then this matter would be troublesome. This meant that the family had given up on them. In the future, not only would the family not help them, but it would also bring them a lot of trouble.
However, if this matter was only done by the heirs, then it wasn't a big deal. She could have a good fight with those guys and see who was more powerful.
Thinking of this, Laura couldn't help but frown. She wasn't afraid of fighting with those people, but she still lacked one thing, an expert.
Although Karen was a seventh level magician and could be regarded as an expert, he didn't like fighting. Although his magic level was high, he had little experience in actual combat. If he really fought, she was afraid that he wouldn't be of much use.
Laura was quite speechless about her father. She felt that her father had really chosen the wrong profession. He should have been a professional alchemist, not a magician. She had never seen a person who liked to study magic arrays so much.
When she thought of an expert, Laura couldn't help but think of Zhao Hai. This mysterious black magician was really amazing. Not only did he save her life, but he had also settled down in Casa City.
Regarding Zhao Hai's background, Laura had her subordinates investigate it, but nothing was found. It was as if he had suddenly appeared. Although Laura wasn't in Casa City these days, she was aware of Zhao Hai's movements. Don't underestimate the wisdom of this proud daughter of heaven. If she didn't have a few tricks up her sleeve, then she wouldn't have been able to mix with the wind and water of the Purcell Duchy.
It was precisely because she knew about Zhao Hai's recent affairs that she thought highly of Zhao Hai. She also knew about Zhao Hai's two battles. To be honest, she didn't think that the result would be like this.
She had seen Zhao Hai's strength once, and it was very strong. But she also knew that the people who dealt with Zhao Hai the second time were also very strong. One of them was the bane of black magicians, a light element white magician. But in this case, those people still disappeared without a trace, which made everyone feel cold.
To be honest, Laura wasn't completely at ease with Zhao Hai. The timing of Zhao Hai's appearance was really too coincidental, and he was now living in Casa City. All of this seemed to be directed at her, which made her even more suspicious of Zhao Hai's motives.
Yes, she was saved by Zhao Hai, but don't forget that it was the Immortal mercenary group that attacked her. Zhao Hai was also a black magician, so who knew if there was any collusion between them.
Nier sat beside Laura. Looking at Laura's frown, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong? Is there something that makes you unhappy? "
Laura turned to look at Nier and smiled faintly. "It's nothing, Nier. After we go home, have a good rest. Tomorrow, we'll visit Mr. Zhao Hai."
When Nier heard what Laura said, she couldn't help but be surprised. "Miss, aren't you worried that Mr. Zhao Hai might be directed at you? Then why do you still want to see him? "
Laura smiled faintly. "No matter what, he saved us once, and I feel that he and the Immortal mercenary group aren't in cahoots. It's just that the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, so I have a little doubt. But tomorrow, we'll still go see him. First, we'll thank him for saving our lives, and second, we'll get to know his bottom."
Nier nodded. She didn't know much about these things. She was well protected by Laura, so she didn't come in contact with any of these plots and machinations. She was as pure as a blank piece of paper. Nier nodded. She didn't know much about these things.
Laura looked at Nier's appearance and smiled. She sighed. Nier was really too simple. Everything revolved around her, and everything listened to her. This made Laura have a desire to protect her.
At this time, the carriage stopped, and Searle's voice was heard. "Miss, we're home."
Laura nodded, and Nier immediately opened the carriage door. Searle immediately put down the footboard, and Laura stepped down from the carriage.
Laura's home was in the western district of Casa City. The people who lived here were both rich and noble. It was the residential area of the entire Casa City's aristocracy. Although Laura's family was only a branch of the Markey Dell clan, no one on the continent dared to look down on the Markey Dell clan, especially in a small country like the Purcell Duchy. Karen's status as the second successor of the Markey Dell clan was higher than that of the Purcell Grand Duke.
The Purcell Grand Duke was only a Grand Duke of the Aksu Empire, while the Markey Dell clan was a large company that spanned across half of the continent. The strength of the two clans was not proportional, so even the Purcell Grand Duke had to give Karen and Laura face. Laura's home was in the best location in the western district. It covered an area of more than a hundred acres, and was very gorgeous.
As soon as Laura got off the carriage, an old man immediately greeted her. This old man was her mother's old servant, and was now their housekeeper.
Laura respected this old man as if he was her grandfather. When she was young, Laura's mother had passed away, and this old man had always taken care of her as if she was his own granddaughter. He had also taught her a lot of things. It could be said that Laura's achievements today were inseparable from this old man.
When Laura saw the old man, she immediately greeted him. "Grandpa Quinn John, why did you personally come to the door to talk about me? This kind of thing should have been done by others. "
Quinn John looked at Laura's appearance and smiled. "It's nothing. I heard that someone wanted to deal with you. Of course, I came to see if my little Laura was injured. Humph, these bastards from the Immortal mercenary group are getting more and more arrogant. Sooner or later, I will destroy them. Daring to stretch out their claws towards you, Laura, I think they don't want to live anymore. "
Quinn John's words weren't in vain. He was also a strong man, an eighth level Grand Knight. Laura's knight skills were learned from him, but Quinn John couldn't casually make a move. He had to stay at home to control the situation.
Laura smiled. "Grandpa Quinn John, don't worry. I don't think the Immortal mercenary group will come for me for a while. Right, where is my father?"
At the mention of Karen, Quinn John couldn't help but smile bitterly, "He's in his laboratory. I originally wanted to pick you up, but as you know, he always loses track of time when he's doing experiments, so I didn't have anyone call him."
Laura also knew what kind of person Karen was, so she didn't care. She just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Right, Grandpa Quinn John, did you prepare something delicious for me?"
Quinn John laughed. "Knowing that you're coming back, how could I not prepare something delicious for you? Don't worry, I found someone and spent a lot of money to get two fire fishes. I'll let you, this little greedy cat, have a good meal. "
When she heard that there was her favorite fire fish, Laura couldn't help but cheer. "Great, there's fish to eat." After saying that, she pulled Nell and ran into the house. At this moment, she showed that she was still a girl in her teens. She was not at all like the arrogant and decisive girl in front of outsiders.
Quinn John looked at Laura's appearance and couldn't help but smile. In Karen's mansion, Quinn John's status was very high. He could be regarded as a master in the mansion. This was because both Karen and Laura respected Quinn John very much. They treated him as an elder. Quinn John also treated Karen's mansion as his own home. He did his best to do everything for the mansion. In the mansion, only he dared to talk to Laura like this, and only he dared to talk to Karen like this.
