After the two had breakfast, they checked out. Of course, Zhao still paid for the room. As a hedonistic young master, he had to pay for the room. This was a matter of identity. Not paying for the room was not something that people of his status could do. This was the mark of a hedonistic young master.
After the group boarded their carriage, the carriage slowly left Blanca City. Shun and Shue sat outside Zhao Hai's carriage, driving it for Zhao Hai.
Today, Shun's attire was more normal. He wore an ordinary warrior's uniform and sat next to Shue, looking very honest.
Last night, Shue told him about Zhao Hai's mystical abilities. He told Shun that if he dared to betray Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai would certainly turn him into an undead.
Shun didn't want to be turned into an undead, so he was very honest. He also asked Zhao Hai what he didn't like. Because of this, he only wore an ordinary warrior's attire today.
It can be said that Shun's appearance wasn't ugly. He had a baby face and a short stature, making him look younger than his actual age.
Zhao Hai also asked about Shun's strength. Shun was a death warrior, he could use hidden weapons, and he could also use makeup. It can be said that this guy was born to be an assassin. Moreover, his fighting strength wasn't weak, he was equivalent to a 6th rank warrior. If he wanted to assassinate someone, then even a 7th rank warrior wouldn't be able to escape from him.
Regarding Shun's strength, Zhao Hai was very satisfied. And with Shun's blood oath, Zhao Hai believed that Shun wouldn't dare lie to him. However, Zhao Hai still decided to observe Shun for a day or two before deciding whether to bring him to the Space. If Shun wasn't trustworthy, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite to him. He might as well turn him into an undead. In any case, after turning him into an undead, he would still retain his current strength.
Shun was very honest, he also recognized his situation. He was now Zhao Hai's slave. If Zhao Hai wanted him to die, then he wouldn't be able to live. In this case, he naturally had to be honest.
At noon, they ate a simple lunch. However, their lunch was better than Ryan's. Ryan's group ate some ordinary dry food while Zhao Hai's group had mutton to eat and mutton soup to drink.
These mutton and mutton soup were leftover from the prairie. At that time, Wales and the others had slaughtered a lot of argali for the expedition. In the end, they won a great victory and obtained a lot of argali. Naturally, Wales wouldn't care about the already cooked mutton and mutton soup. Therefore, Zhao Hai still had a lot of leftover, enough for them to eat for a while.
Now that it had snowed in the continent, the weather wasn't warm at all. To be able to eat steaming hot mutton and drink delicious mutton soup in such weather, the taste was very good.
At night, because Zhao Hai's group missed their lodging, they could only rest in a small village. This village was called Cat Ear Village. There were only a few dozen households in this village, and the highest official was the village chief. This village chief wasn't appointed by the state, but the people in this village all had the same surname. The village chief was the patriarch of this surname, so he had a lot of authority in the village.
However, in the eyes of the nobles, this village chief wasn't an official at all. They hadn't seen any high official before, the highest official they had seen was the tax collector from the city. That tax collector wasn't a noble at all. Therefore, when they saw Zhao Hai's group, they were frightened. When they heard that Zhao Hai was a viscount and Ryan was a princess, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed like they were pounding garlic.
In the end, Zhao Hai still had to coax and scare them to calm them down. The village chief also gave some of the best houses in the village for Zhao Hai's group to live in.
Zhao Hai wasn't polite and directly moved in. He also asked the village chief to invite the women in the village to cook for them. The village chief quickly agreed and invited the women in the village to cook for Zhao Hai's group. The food was provided by Zhao Hai's group, the women only needed to do the cooking.
But even so, Meg was still present. The women were good at cooking, but what Zhao Hai took out were magic vegetables. These were vegetables that the women hadn't even heard of, let alone know how to make them. Fortunately, Meg knew how to make them, so the dinner was quickly prepared.
After eating dinner, Zhao Hai's group returned to their own courtyard to rest. Shue and the others naturally followed. Zhao Hai's group had a small number of people, so a small courtyard was enough for them. Ryan's group had a lot of people, so they had to live in three large courtyards. Moreover, each house could accommodate more than ten people.
After returning to the courtyard, Zhao Hai didn't immediately go to sleep. He sat in the living room and drank some tea. He looked at the furnishings in the living room. The house that they lived in was one of the best houses in the village, but the furnishings in the living room were still very simple. One could see at a glance that life wasn't very good here.
Zhao Hai wasn't too careless, these villagers seemed to be living a good life. They were able to eat their fill and wear warm clothes, this was already very good. One must know that even in the 21st century, China still had some places that could barely reach this standard, not to mention the Ark Continent.
Jin Shun suddenly walked in front of Zhao and knelt down. "Master, this small one has already made a blood oath to follow you. This small one is sincere in following you. Please allow this small one to go home and settle down his family." Zhao Hai nodded. Jin Shun knelt down in front of Zhao.
Zhao Hai stared, he looked at Shun and said, "You have a family? What kind of people are there in your family? " In Zhao Hai's mind, people like Shun shouldn't have a family. If he were to die while on a mission, then wouldn't his family be out of luck?
Shun nodded and said, "Yes, this small one has a family. There are altogether five people in my family. Besides this small one, there's also my old mother, my wife, and two children."
Zhao Hai stared, "Where does your family live?"
Shun quickly replied, "Tomorrow we can pass by this small one's house. This small one's house is in a small village not far from here. This small one bought a few acres of land in the village and told the villagers that this small one was doing business outside. Because of this, the villagers didn't know about this small one's identity."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll go pick up your family and bring them to my territory." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll take care of your family."
Shun stared, but he immediately replied, "Thank you Young Master. From here to my house, it would only take about two hours. However, my house isn't on the main road, it's on a fork in the road. If we go along the main road, then we won't be able to reach my house."
Zhao Hai nodded and looked at the sky. Then he turned to Shue and said, "Shue, you drive the carriage and follow Shun to pick up his family." Shue complied and drove Zhao Hai's carriage to pick up the family. This made Shun feel strange, he had never seen a noble who would use his carriage to pick up his servant's family.
Seeing Shue and Shun leave the village, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, are you really that relieved? Aren't you afraid that they'll run away? "
Zhao Hai smiled, "Didn't they make a blood oath? Where can they run to? Also, do you think that they can run away? I've already placed the Ghost Staff on the carriage. If they make any moves, we can immediately rush to the carriage, they won't be able to escape. "
Just as they were talking, a knock was heard from the outside. Then Jill's voice was heard, "Is Mister Wales in? Her Highness wants to ask if mister went out. "It was obvious that they saw Zhao Hai's carriage leaving the village, so they came to ask.
Blockhead opened the door and invited Jill inside. When Jill saw Zhao Hai sitting in the living room and drinking tea, he relaxed and quickly went forward to give Zhao Hai a salute. Then he said, "Mister Wales, Her Highness saw your carriage leave and thought that mister had something to do. So she sent this little one to ask."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I've made the princess worry, we really don't have anything to do. I just sent two of my servants out to do something, they'll be back soon." Jill nodded and then asked Zhao Hai to leave.
Seeing Jill leave, Laura couldn't help but chuckle, "Brother Hai, it seems like Princess Ruyen is determined to follow you. Have you thought about what to do?"
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "What can I do? Just let her follow me. In any case, once we reach Rosen Empire, she wouldn't follow us. We can't just leave right now, that would be unfair to Uncle Evan."
Laura smiled and said, "I can see that the Princess is very attentive to you. Look at her, she even changed her previous bad habits, this isn't easy."
Zhao Hai sighed and said, "What can I do about it? I'm not a stranger to her. Forget it, don't talk about her. I didn't think that Shun would have a family. Right, do you want to give Shue a family as well? He's not young anymore. "
When Laura and the others heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but laugh. Meg said, "Young Master, aren't you worried about too many things? You even care about your subordinates getting married. "
Zhao Hai chuckled and said, "I already have two fiancées, I can't let a full man not know the hunger of a hungry man. It's time for me to take care of Shue."
When Laura and Meg heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but spit at him. But when they saw Zhao Hai's smile, they couldn't help but laugh along with Zhao Hai.
The group chatted and laughed, time passed unknowingly. The sky slowly turned dark, it was impossible for a village like this to use magic lamps, but they still used oil lamps. Zhao Hai didn't light any oil lamps, instead, he entered the Space and turned on the monitor to look at Shue and Shun.
Shue and Shun were walking while chatting. The two talked about Shun's family, Shun also asked about Zhao Hai's situation. But Shue's mouth was very tight, he didn't say anything, he just repeatedly told Shun not to betray Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai looked at the road that the two were walking. Sure enough, after they left Cat Ear Village, they walked along the main road for a while before they reached a fork in the road. After walking for a short distance, they saw a small village in front of them, the village was brightly lit.
When Shun Yi saw the small village, his face couldn't help but show a gentle expression, he turned to Shue and said, "Brother Shue, this is our village. My father used to be a death warrior, but he was injured and stayed here. I learned all of my skills from him. My mother was a pharmacist in the village, but she didn't study medicine properly. She only used herbs from the mountain to treat minor illnesses, but she was also very good at using poisons. She knew that the herbs in the mountain were poisonous, and she knew how to use poisons. Later on, because of my father's old injuries, he died, so I went out to play. A few years ago, I received a few missions and had some money. I returned to the village to buy a few acres of land, I also married a wife and gave birth to two children. These years, I've received very few missions, and I've tried my best to avoid dangerous missions or missions that are too far away from home. Most of the time, I've been doing farm work in the village, I feel that this kind of life is very good." Shun Yi looked at Shue and said, "I've also received a lot of money from the village.
Shue looked at Shun's appearance, he smiled and said, "If you really think so, then following the Young Master wouldn't be a mistake. Later on, you'll know that following the Young Master is the best decision you've made in your life."
Shun smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps, I just don't want my children to be slaves for a lifetime. But I've already made a blood oath to follow the Young Master. If I leave, the family wouldn't have a backbone, so I can only ask the Young Master to settle them down. But the Young Master wants to take them away, I don't know where to put them."
Shue looked at Shun's appearance and smiled, "Don't worry, I guarantee that it will be the best place in the world. Going there would be the same as going to heaven." To be honest, Shue really liked Iron Mountain Fort. In Iron Mountain Fort, there was no competition, everyone worked hard to improve their lives. Their children were taken care of, they could eat their fill every day, and they didn't have to worry about anything else. For ordinary people, such days were like heaven.
Shun sighed and didn't speak, his mood was very complicated. He was very clear that although his family had bought land in the past few years, it was only enough to make a living. If his family wanted to live well, they would have to rely on him to go out and do missions. But now that he was Zhao Hai's slave, if he left, then the family's biggest source of income would be cut off. Because of this, he couldn't help but tell Zhao Hai that he wanted to go home and settle his family down. But he didn't expect that Zhao Hai would take his family to his territory. This made him both happy and worried.
He was worried that if he took his family to Zhao Hai's territory, then his family would become slaves. But if he didn't take them, then his family would starve to death.
While they were talking, they had already entered the village. This village was about the same size as Cat Ear Village. Behind the village was a mountain that seemed to be a remnant of the mountain. It didn't matter how high it was, the mountain was full of trees. As soon as they entered the village, the village's low-level magic beasts, the native dogs, started to bark. These native dogs were similar to the native dogs on Earth, but their fighting strength was much stronger compared to the native dogs on Earth. After all, they were still magic beasts.
