Before long, Zhao Hai followed the old eunuch to the Imperial Palace. They went straight to the Imperial Hall. The Imperial Hall was already filled with people. These people were all important officials of the Dragon Nation. They all had high status. However, these people didn't speak. Everyone was looking at the door as they watched Zhao Hai slowly walking towards them. They were all waiting for Zhao Hai.
When Zhao Hai saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised. However, he quickly calmed down and walked into the hall. Then he cupped his fist and said, "Zhao Hai has seen Your Majesty."
The Emperor stood up and extended his hand to support Zhao Hai as he said, "Mister is too polite. Please dispense with the formalities. Come, give mister a seat." Being given a seat in the Imperial Hall was a privilege that ordinary people didn't have.
Zhao Hai quickly thanked the Emperor. Then the eunuch brought a seat for Zhao Hai and let Zhao Hai sit down. Zhao Hai wasn't polite and directly sat down. At this time, the Emperor also sat down.
After the Emperor sat on the Dragon Throne, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I don't know what the Dragon Nation would be like. This time, you have helped the Dragon Nation a lot."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty is too polite. This is nothing. This matter started because of me. Naturally, I will be responsible for solving this matter."
The Emperor looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister is too polite. Everyone knows about this matter. The Ant Kingdom is just using you as an excuse. Even without you, the Ant Kingdom would still send their troops."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter if they use other people as an excuse or not. But this time, they are using me as an excuse. Although I, Zhao Hai, am not an important person in the Soldier Spirit Continent, I still represent the continent. If they dare to use me as an excuse, then they should be prepared to face my wrath. I, Zhao Hai, came out this time to travel. I came with good intentions. I don't want to be enemies with anyone. But if others treat me as an enemy, then I can't just let them do whatever they want to me. I have a habit of dealing with my enemies.
If they don't want to be enemies with me, then I won't let them go. "When the Emperor heard Zhao Hai's words, he was secretly shocked. He could hear from Zhao Hai's words that if someone really wanted to be an enemy of Zhao Hai, then Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite. Moreover, he wouldn't give the other party a chance to make a move.
Take this war as an example. Zhao Hai arrived at the battlefield only a few hours ago. But in these few hours, more than a dozen Void Experts of the Ant Kingdom died in Zhao Hai's hands. The number of Divine Statue Experts reached several hundred. The most terrifying thing was the ordinary soldiers. The number of ordinary soldiers that died in Zhao Hai's hands numbered in the tens of thousands.
In just a few hours, Zhao Hai caused tens of thousands of casualties in the Ant Kingdom. This kind of strength was really shocking. The most important thing was his killing intent. Without killing intent, how could he kill tens of thousands of people?
Killing tens of thousands of people at once was something that those Breaking River Experts could do. However, there wasn't a Breaking River Expert who could kill tens of thousands of people at once. They didn't have the same killing intent as Zhao Hai.
Moreover, the Emperor also heard people say that when Zhao Hai clashed with the three Breaking River experts, his body released a murderous aura that made the Sky Dance experts feel like they were in hell. This kind of killing intent, this kind of murderous aura, wasn't something that an average person could have.
The Emperor secretly sighed and rejoiced in his heart. Fortunately, when Zhao Hai arrived in the Dragon Nation, he had shown enough respect to Zhao Hai. If he really offended Zhao Hai, then the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Emperor looked at Zhao Hai and said, "No matter what the reason is, the Dragon Nation's crisis was indeed solved by Mister. This Emperor has been busy with the post-war matters. This Emperor invited Mister here to express my gratitude. From today onwards, Mister will be the Imperial Prince of the Dragon Soul Nation. Mister can open a residence and set up a tent. Mister will receive the same treatment as a Prince. Additionally, Mister will be bestowed with a Prince's residence, a hundred servants, a hundred maids, and five hundred relatives. Mister will also be bestowed with a Prince's seal, a million gold coins, two merchant groups, ten ships, ten horses, and everything in Mister's residence will be provided by the Imperial Palace."
The Emperor's decree didn't only shock Zhao Hai, but everyone else as well. They didn't think that the Emperor would actually give Zhao Hai such a huge reward. It can be said that this was the biggest reward the Dragon Soul Nation had ever given out since its establishment.
Among the rewards, there were only two things that people envied the most. One was a merchant group and a ship. These two things could bring great benefits to people. This was especially true for ships. The ships that the Emperor gave Zhao Hai wouldn't be inferior, they would be the best ships. And these ships could bring unimaginable benefits to people.
Besides the ships, the most enviable thing was Zhao Hai's status as a Prince. If he was just an ordinary Prince, then no one would be envious of him. However, he was a Prince who could open a residence and set up a tent. Moreover, he had a Prince's seal and a Prince's seal. This was amazing.
Opening a residence, setting up a tent, holding a Prince's seal, all of these things could be put together. They would only give you one right, and that was to have your own army!
The Alien Continent's countries were centralized. In other words, the Emperor would give you a title and a fief. However, you could only get some money from the fief. You wouldn't have the authority to manage your fief. Your title could be very high, but you wouldn't have the authority to have an army. If you dared to have a private army, then it would be tantamount to rebellion.
However, if the Emperor allowed you to open a residence and set up a tent, then you would have the authority to have a private army. Moreover, not only can you have a private army, you can also appoint civil and military officials. These civil and military officials would be recorded by the country. In other words, if you appointed an official, then he would be an official recognized by the country.
This kind of authority wasn't small. In the entire Dragon Kingdom, only Zhao Hai had this kind of authority. Zhao Hai was given a fleet to make money, and Zhao Hai was also given the authority to open a residence and set up a tent. If it was someone else, then with these two powers, then they would be able to create a country within a country. In the future, when Qiang Zi came along, he might even rebel.
Zhao Hai was also surprised by the Emperor's reward. However, in his opinion, these rewards were useless to him. Because of this, after hearing the Emperor's reward, Zhao Hai immediately stood up and cupped his fist towards the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I cannot accept this kind of reward. I ask Your Majesty to take it back."
When the Emperor heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but say, "Oh? Mister, are you dissatisfied with my reward? If there's anything you're dissatisfied with, then you can tell me. I'll give you an additional reward. "
Zhao Hai replied, "Your Majesty misunderstood. The reward you gave me is too generous. I don't dare accept it. I'm from the Soldier Spirit Continent. Sooner or later, I will return to the continent. Because of this, even if Your Majesty rewards me with a lot of things, it would still be useless. Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to take it back."
The Emperor looked at Zhao Hai's appearance, then he sighed and said, "Mister's words really put me in a difficult position. Mister has done a great favor for the Dragon Kingdom. If I don't reward you, then how can I face the world? But Mister wants to leave. What should I do?"
At this time, a civil official stood up and bowed to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, this subject has something to say. I don't know if I should be rewarded."
The Emperor looked at the man and said, "What does Minister Chen have to say? Speak quickly."
Mister would still be a Grand Prince, but he would be able to wield this staff without a seal. Seeing this staff would be like seeing the seal of a Grand Prince. Moreover, Mister can also pass down this staff to his descendants. If Mister returns to the Spirit Soldier Continent and has a descendant, Mister can pass down this staff to his descendants. If his descendants have the opportunity to visit the Stranger Continent, they can bring this staff to our Dragon Nation and receive the treatment of a Grand Prince. Wouldn't that be even better? "Zhao Hai nodded and said," Since Mister is a Grand Prince, then Mister can also pass down this staff to his descendants. If Mister returns to the Spirit Soldier Continent and has a descendant, then Mister can pass this staff to his descendants.
When the Emperor heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "What does Mister think about this proposal?"
Zhao Hai looked at the Emperor. He understood that although this proposal was proposed by the official surnamed Chen, it seems like they had already discussed it. In other words, the other party had already discussed several plans. If Zhao Hai didn't want the rewards, then he would be given authority. If Zhao Hai accepted the rewards, then it would be another matter altogether.
Zhao Hai thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with having authority. If he didn't want the authority, then the Emperor would surely give him something else. Moreover, no matter what, the Emperor was still an Emperor. For him to talk to Zhao Hai like this was already very impressive. If Zhao Hai didn't agree, then he wouldn't be giving the Emperor any face.
Zhao Hai knew that he had helped the Dragon Country a lot this time. And with his strength, the Dragon Country would give him a lot of rewards. Moreover, after he accepts these rewards, then his relationship with the Dragon Country would officially enter the Secret Moon Period. If Zhao Hai were to decline, then good things might turn bad. He had helped the Dragon Country a lot, but in the end, he might end up incurring their hatred. At this time, he really didn't want to offend anyone in the Alien Continent. Therefore, Zhao Hai cupped his fist to the Emperor and said, "That's a good idea. Then I'll have to thank Your Majesty."
When the Emperor heard Zhao Hai agree, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly said, "Mister is too polite. Please take a seat. What kind of staff does Mister want? Do you have any special requirements for it?"
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Your Majesty is too polite. I ask Your Majesty to be the host."
The Emperor nodded and said, "Alright, then it's settled. In a few days, the forged staff will be sent to Mister. Mister must remember, with this staff in the Dragon Country, you can enjoy the treatment of a Prince."
Zhao Hai cupped his fist and said, "Yes, Your Majesty can rest assured. This one will make good use of it."
The Emperor nodded, then he looked at the people in the hall and said, "I'm very happy today. Come, prepare a banquet. Today, we'll hold a celebration banquet in the hall!" Then someone went outside to arrange it.
