To be honest, Zhao Hai didn't think that Fatty would tell him these things. These were the secrets of the Imperial Family. For Fatty to tell him these things really surprised him.
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty and said, "Why are you telling me these things? To be honest, I've never thought of going back after leaving the Ice Ocean Continent this time. If you really want to go back with me, then let's go together. When you want to go back, I'll send you on the ship. I'm afraid I can't help you with anything else. "
Fatty looked at Zhao Hai and smiled bitterly, "I didn't want you to help me. But you should know that if you go with me, then it would be very dangerous. Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I understand. But if someone comes to kill you while we're together, then I'll help you kill them. But if you want to go back, then I can't do anything about it. How about it, Fatty?"
The fat man laughed and said, "Good, very good. To be honest, the throne doesn't appeal to me at all. Although I can eat good food every day, I have to be very careful because I'm afraid of being poisoned. Although I can sleep on the best bed every day, I still have to be very careful because I'm afraid of being killed in the middle of the night. I've had enough of this kind of life, I really don't want to go back. It would be good if I can stay outside for a long time. Maybe after a long time, the people at home would think that I died outside. Isn't that good?"
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty's appearance and smiled faintly, "You don't have to wait until then. Maybe as soon as the new Emperor ascends the throne, you can go back."
Fatty shook his head and said, "I won't go back. Why would I go back? Even if I go back, I'll just be an idle prince. Maybe someone will find an excuse to behead me. Even if I don't get beheaded, I might be locked up in the mansion for the rest of my life. There's no way I can be as happy as outside."
Zhao Hai looked at the fatty and said, "I really can't see how happy the outside world is. If we didn't prepare in advance, then I'm afraid that we would have died here. You're still happy about this? I really don't know what to say about you."
The fatty chuckled and said, "To be honest, a day in the outside world is no better than a year in the imperial palace. Death is nothing. In my opinion, a day in the imperial palace is worse than death."
Zhao Hai curled his lips and said, "Don't talk nonsense. You don't know how many people are willing to risk their lives just to eat. If you say that to those people, I'm afraid they would beat you up on the spot. In their opinion, the days that you lived in the Imperial Palace are nothing to them." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense.
The fat man didn't say anything, he just took out a bottle of wine and took a sip before saying, "At least now I know that you don't want anything from me, and you really treat me as a friend. At the very least, I can eat and drink without worrying about being poisoned every time I drink. I'm 20 years old this year, and before I was 15, I lived very carefully. I didn't have a good meal or a good night's sleep, but in the past five years, I've thought it through. At worst, I'll die, and in that place, I'd rather die than live. So I started to eat and drink without worry, and gradually became fat. Hahaha, I didn't expect my brothers to be so timid. They didn't dare to kill me even though I didn't take any precautions. I've already decided that if I die in the Imperial Palace before I'm 20 years old, then I won't say anything. But if I don't die, then I'll wait until I'm 20 years old, then I'll leave the Imperial Palace and go to the Thick Earth Continent. I'll find a place where nobody knows me, and when nobody comes looking for me, I'll go to the other continents and explore the Five Spirit Realms." The fat man didn't say anything, he just turned his hand and took out a bottle of wine. He took a sip and then said, "At the very least, I now know that you don't want anything from me. You really treat me as a friend. At the very least, I can eat and drink without worry.
Hahaha, Brother Zhao, I've made a lot of preparations for this trial. I brought a lot of money with me, a total of 30,000 Bell. I'm afraid that this amount of money will be enough for me to spend for a long time. I didn't think that I wouldn't have to spend any money after traveling with you. Hahaha, you're really a good friend. "Zhao Hai nodded, then he said," Hahaha, Brother Zhao, I've made a lot of preparations for this trial. I brought a lot of money with me, about 30,000 Bell.
Zhao Hai looked at Fatty, then he coldly snorted and said, "30,000 Bell is nothing. If we really go out to play, how long can you last with that amount of money? This time, I've brought all my savings. Hehe, hundreds of thousands of Bell in gold coins. Hahaha, even if I eat, drink, and play for a lifetime, I still won't be able to spend it all. So, I don't mind having you with me."
Hearing Zhao Hai's words, Fatty's eyes lit up, "Hundreds of thousands of Bell? I say, where did you get so much money? Is it so easy to make money by running a shop? Is it even higher than a Prince's salary? "
Zhao Hai looked at him and said, "Do you really not know or are you just pretending? You're a Prince, you don't go out, you don't even go out of the palace. What do you need so much money for? His Majesty gave you money to give to your servants, but you kept it all for yourself. How can I be the same as you? These hundreds of thousands of Bell were obtained when I was doing a mission. I accidentally found a Spirit Tree and cut down its branches, turning them into a Natural Staff. This kind of luck is hard to come by in a million people. If you just run a small shop, do you think you can make so much money? It's good that you're so straightforward. "
Fatty muttered, "Oh, so that's how it is. No wonder. Hehe. But I haven't treated my servants badly over the years. I'm still living in the palace, so my expenses aren't that big. Also, I don't like to have too many servants accompanying me. Because of this, I have very few servants under me. I give them a lot of money every year, so the rest of the money was saved up little by little."
Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "I don't care where you get your money, but 30 thousand bell is not a small amount. If you want to go around the Five Spirit Realms, then it should be enough. Moreover, don't forget that we can take missions and even rob people. Do you think that those ordinary adventurers are really law-abiding citizens? Once they leave the city, they can kill people and set fires. Adventurers who can come back alive from outside the city aren't simple characters." Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "You're right.
Fatty nodded, then he said, "I can tell just by looking at you killing people. You didn't even blink your eyes."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Of course. When you're adventuring outside the city, if you don't kill others, then others will kill you. There's no such thing as being softhearted. If you're softhearted, then you'll be the one to die."
Fatty nodded, then he suddenly laughed. Zhao Hai looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? What are you laughing at? "
Think about it, what's the point of being an adventurer? No one cares, no one asks. The world is big, and I can go anywhere I want. I can eat, sleep, walk, and stop whenever I want. Isn't such a life better than staying in the palace, reading countless memorials? Why can't they think about it? "
Zhao Hai looked at the fatty and said in a deep voice, "Because a single word from that position can decide the life and death of millions of people. Because that position is supreme in the Ice Jade Nation. Everyone must submit to that position. This is the charm of that position."
Fatty shook his head and said, "I don't see the charm of that position. In any case, I don't want to sit in that position. Forget it, even if I say this, I'm afraid that others won't believe me. Because in other people's eyes, we were born to fight for that position. If you don't fight for that position, then it's the same as being born in the Imperial Family."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and didn't say anything. Zhao Hai was very clear that what Fatty said was the truth. Everyone thinks that those born in the Imperial Family must fight for that position. Even if you don't want to fight, others will think that you will. And those who think this way are the ones who can fight for that position. Therefore, those born in the Imperial Family can only fight for it. Because if you don't fight, then you'll die. If you fight, then you'll live. Therefore, those born in the Imperial Family have no choice but to fight for that position.
Zhao Hai also took out a bottle of wine, took a sip, and said in a deep voice, "Actually, I don't like the current Five Spiritual Realms at all. Do you know why? It's because I know a person with a Mixed Spirit Root who died in front of me. Although he was my enemy, I didn't think that he was inferior to me. He was born to be a slave. Later on, I went to White Fox City and saw a large slave market. There, I saw a child, a ten year old child, standing there with wounds all over his body, both old and new. In front of him was his mother's corpse. His father seemed to have been sold while his mother died of illness. He just stood there and looked at me with hatred, as well as at everyone in the market. I was also looking at the child. Just as I was looking at the child, a slave merchant came over and said that the child hadn't been trained yet, so he couldn't be sold. Otherwise, his reputation would be ruined, so he bought the child for one gold coin. One gold coin, hahahaha. In Calm Wave City, we spent three hundred and sixty gold coins for a meal. In other words, we could buy three hundred and sixty boys for a meal. Three hundred and sixty boys, hahaha. It's really ironic. So from that time onwards, I had an idea. I wanted to go to the other continents before going to the Mixed Spirit Continent to see how the people there live. I want to help them. "
Fatty quietly listened to Zhao Hai's words. He also knew about the matter of slaves. He was also very clear about the attitude of the other continents towards slaves. On the surface, they were opposed, but in fact, they were supportive. However, he had never seen a slave trade with his own eyes, so he didn't feel anything. Now that he heard Zhao Hai's words, he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Moreover, he didn't know what to say, so he could only remain silent.
