Blockhead's words made Zhao Hai and the others stare blankly. At this time, Blockhead continued, "You see, we came back from the prairie, and we received our title from Grand Duke Evan. All of this seems to indicate that we have a connection with Grand Duke Evan and the prairie. The only person who could connect to Grand Duke Evan and the prairie was the Dark Mage Zhao Hai. Therefore, the person who issued this mission probably wanted to use this attack to see if the Young Master is a Dark Mage. If they can confirm that you are a Dark Mage, then they can confirm your identity, which would be very disadvantageous for us."
Zhao Hai and Laura looked at each other and nodded. They also felt that Blockhead's guess was very well prepared. Otherwise, they really couldn't find a better explanation for this attack.
At this time, Zhao Hai turned his gaze to Shun. He looked at Shun and said, "You should have guessed my identity by now, right? Tell me, are you still willing to follow me? If you are, then make a blood oath and be loyal to me like Shue. I won't treat you unfairly. Otherwise, you should know my methods, right? "
Zhao Hai's methods were already well known in the Purcell Duchy. Everyone knew that he liked to turn people into undead and make them his slaves, the most loyal slaves.
Naturally, this was also a method that Dark Mages often used. This was also the reason why most people in the continent liked to oppose Dark Mages. Nobody liked to have their corpse serve others after they died.
Shun knelt on the ground and said, "Yes, I am willing." Then he bit his hand and made a blood oath. Zhao Hai felt the same feeling that Shue had when he made a blood oath. Zhao Hai believed that Shun didn't deceive him.
Zhao Hai looked at Shun and said, "Good, you will follow me from now on. Shue, take him away and tell him about my rules." Shue complied and then led Shun away.
Zhao Hai looked at Blockhead who was standing in front of the door. He smiled and said, "Blockhead, you actually became enlightened. You actually thought of things that we didn't think of."
Blockhead smiled and said, "The Young Master was just thinking too much, so he didn't think of it for a while. My head is simple, I don't need to think too much. Naturally, I thought of it."
"You're getting more and more interesting," Zhao said, laughing. "Well, we've had enough trouble tonight. I don't think the other party will dare to come again. Let's go back and rest." Blockhead nodded, then turned and left.
In a hotel like this, each suite would have three or four rooms. Brown Hotel had three rooms. Shun, Shue, and Blockhead stayed in one room, Laura and the others stayed in another room, and Zhao Hai stayed in the last one. In fact, this was just for show. Zhao Hai and the others actually preferred to rest in the Space. But because of the things that happened tonight, Zhao Hai decided not to go to the Space and rest in the hotel.
Zhao Hai and the others went to rest, but the other people in the hotel couldn't rest. First, the hotel's owner, Brown, was rescued from his room. He didn't suffer any serious injuries, he was only knocked unconscious. After he woke up and found out what happened, he became even more distressed. He didn't know how to explain to Zhao Hai about what happened tonight.
It must be said that Brown had some background. He was the brother-in-law of Blanca City's Lord, so he could afford to open this hotel. But Blanca City's Lord was only a Viscount, Zhao Hai was also a Viscount. As for Ruyen, her carriage was hung with the Purcell clan's crest. It can be said that Brown couldn't afford to offend them. But the two of them were ambushed, this made Brown want to die.
On the other hand, Ruyen's heart wasn't calm. She didn't think that Wales would be a tri-element mage. In the continent, the average person's talent in magic was a single element, they could only learn one element of magic. Being able to learn two elements of magic was already considered a genius. Being able to learn three elements of magic was very rare in the continent.
However, even if it was a tri-element mage, they would still focus on one element of magic. This was because it would be easy to be distracted if one were to learn too much magic. But looking at Zhao Hai's appearance, he was a tri-element mage. Moreover, it seemed like all three elements of magic were quite good. What did this mean? It meant that he had a very high talent in magic, he was a genius.
Ruyen was still somewhat proud of herself. Although she was young, she was a water element mage genius. Now that she was a 6th rank water element mage, she could be considered a rare genius in the continent.
But in the past two days, she had suffered a blow. Not to mention the abnormal attributes of Zhao Hai's tri-element magic, even Meg, who was by Zhao Hai's side, wasn't any weaker than her. This was a huge blow to her.
Ruyen was sitting in her room, two maids were standing behind her. Jill and a warrior were standing in front of her. Ruyen looked at the two and calmly said, "What do you think of today's matter?"
The warrior looked at Ruyen and said, "That group of people was obviously targeting Mister Wales. But from what I can see, they don't seem to belong to any force. For example, that Eight-Armed Demon Shun is a very famous assassin in the continent. He only kills for money and never joins any group. He's a very difficult person to deal with. I heard that in addition to using concealed weapons and makeup, he's also an expert in using poison. His concealed weapons are all poisonous. But this also shows that the people who attacked tonight were either mercenaries or assassins. They only did things for money."
Ruyen frowned and said, "Are men of sacrifice also mercenaries? How come I've never heard of mercenaries having men of sacrifice? "
The warrior calmly replied, "There are all kinds of people in the mercenary world. Some men of sacrifice betrayed their families and went outside to marry and have children. They taught their children everything they know, this kind of situation isn't unusual."
Ruyen nodded, then she turned to Jill and said, "Tonight, you were in the same room as Shue and that blockhead, did you manage to find out anything?"
Jill shook his head and said, "Nothing, after eating, they returned to their rooms and closed the door. Then there was no sound. I called them, but they said that they were tired and wanted to rest. They didn't come out."
Ryan knit his brows and said, "What I want to know is, what did father say to them? Why did he give them the title of Viscount, and why did he allow me to travel with them? This matter is really strange. Right, were our patrolling warriors knocked unconscious or killed?" Ryan frowned and said, "Yes, I'm very curious.
The warrior replied, "They were killed, not a single one was left alive. It seems like it was the work of that man of sacrifice. There was only one wound on their bodies, it was on their necks. Their throats were cut by a sword, it wasn't Shun's doing. If it was Shun, then he would have used a poisonous concealed weapon."
Ruyen nodded and said, "Cremate their bodies and send their ashes back to the Grand Duke's Mansion. Tell father to give their families more compensation." The warrior nodded.
Ruyen frowned and thought for a moment, "The attack this time is too strange, and Wales' identity is too mysterious. No matter what, we should be more careful in the future. We should increase the number of night patrols." The warrior nodded, Jill also nodded.
Ruyen looked at the two and said, "Go back and rest, the night patrols still need to be sent out. Jill, I think Wales went to your room. You can rest with Gangsa tonight." Jill nodded and then left with Gangsa.
Seeing the two leave, Ruyen muttered, "It's getting more and more interesting. Haha, interesting." Then she yawned and returned to her room to rest.
The next day, Zhao Hai and the others woke up late. They couldn't do anything about it, Zhao Hai's body wasn't very good, he needed to rest. Therefore, they woke up late.
After they finished washing their faces and rinsing their mouths, they came out of their room and saw a fat figure standing outside their door. Seeing them come out, the fat figure immediately came forward to greet them. Shue blocked Zhao Hai's way, the fat man stopped and bowed, "Little Brown has seen Lord Viscount. Lord Viscount was frightened yesterday, this little one would like to apologize to Lord Viscount." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Little Brown has seen Lord Viscount.
Zhao Hai looked at the fat man. This fat man looked exactly the same as Shun. However, his eyes were bloodshot, his face was sweaty, his expression was as if his mother had died.
Zhao Hai calmly said, "It's nothing, I don't blame you. Those people were after me. I still haven't apologized to Mister Brown, I destroyed a lot of things in your store yesterday."
Brown bowed even lower. "Sir Viscount, I am very happy that you don't blame me. I have already prepared a table of wine for you to calm your nerves. Sir Viscount, please come to the dining room." Zhao nodded. Then he said, "Sir Viscount, please come to the dining room."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and walked into the dining room. As soon as he entered, he saw Ruyen sitting at a table drinking tea. When she saw Zhao Hai, she quickly put down her cup and stood up. "Mister, you came. Did you rest well?" Zhao Hai smiled faintly and walked into the dining room.
Zhao Hai calmly replied, "I'm fine. Your Highness, please take a seat." Then he also sat down.
Fat Boss Brown stood on the side, he bowed to Zhao Hai and Ruyen and said, "Your Highness, Lord Viscount, this one has specially prepared a table of food and wine for the two of you. I hope that the two of you can give me some face."
Ruyen didn't speak, she just looked at Zhao Hai. It was clear that Zhao Hai had the final say. Zhao Hai wasn't polite, he calmly looked at Brown and said, "Alright, Boss Brown doesn't need to be polite. Let them serve the food, after we finish eating, we still need to hurry on with our journey. As I said before, I don't blame you for that matter. You don't need to be long-winded here.
