Meg smiled as she looked at Zhao Hai. She really didn't think that a person's character would change so much. Before, Adam was an insolent, extroverted, and careless idiot. But now, Zhao Hai was an introverted, calm, and meticulous big boy. She liked the current Zhao Hai even more.
Zhao Hai saw that Meg didn't speak and didn't know what to do. He could only say, "Then you can sit anywhere you like. I'll go take a look at the situation outside." After saying that, he turned around and walked to the screen at the head of the bed. He opened the screen and looked at the situation outside.
The three-dimensional map of the castle appeared once again, but there were no more green dots on it. Since yesterday, Zhao Hai hadn't seen any green dots on the three-dimensional map.
Seeing that there were no more green dots on the map, Zhao Hai was too lazy to look at it. Now that the castle had been destroyed, he had seen it very clearly these past few days. He didn't want to look at it anymore.
Zhao Hai sighed. He was prepared to wait for two more days. If there were no more green dots on the map in two days, then he would let Merine and the others go out and see if the magic beasts had retreated.
Meg stood beside Zhao Hai, also looking at the screen. She had learned how to look at the screen these past few days, but she had no way to operate it. Only with Zhao Hai's permission could she operate it. Just like the other things in this space, without Zhao Hai's permission, no one would be able to operate it.
Blockhead tried to pick up the small shovel and bucket, but the result was that these two things seemed to be nailed to the ground. Even with Blockhead's strength, he couldn't move them at all.
Meg also knew that the green dots on the map were magic beasts. These past few days, they had been very concerned about the situation outside, so she also knew that since yesterday, no magic beasts had appeared on the screen. At that time, Merine wanted to go out and take a look, but she was stopped by Zhao Hai.
Merine didn't object, she also knew what Zhao Hai was worried about. But now that she saw that the map still didn't have a single green dot, Meg became anxious and said to Zhao Hai, "Young Master, there shouldn't be any magic beasts outside. Let me go out and take a look. I'm fast, there shouldn't be any danger."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Now isn't the time. Those Magic Beasts have just disappeared, they might still be wandering in the wilderness. If we let them feel that there are creatures inside the castle, then they might rush inside. If that happens, then we'll be in more trouble. It's better to stay inside the Space for two more days, it's safer this way."
When Meg heard what Zhao Hai said, she didn't insist, so she nodded. Suddenly, Meg seemed to have noticed something, she immediately looked at the screen and said, "Young Master, why is there a red dot on the screen?"
Zhao Hai's attention wasn't on the screen, so he didn't notice the red dot. However, Meg did. A red dot had appeared on the screen, and this dot was moving at a very fast speed. Zhao Hai understood that this dot was moving at a very fast speed inside the castle. This made Zhao Hai stare, this was because he had never encountered such a situation before.
Zhao Hai immediately tapped on the screen. Because the red dot was moving too fast, Zhao Hai couldn't tap on it. Therefore, he tapped on the living room's location and waited there quietly to see what the red dot was.
Meg's eyes were also fixed on the screen. From time to time, she would look at the top of the screen, where there was a three-dimensional map. From the three-dimensional map, they could see the direction of the red dot's movement. The red dot was currently on the third floor, and its movements were very regular. It was exploring every room, but its speed was very fast.
Before long, the red dot came down from the third floor and quickly moved towards the living room. Zhao Hai and Meg's attention was focused on the living room, they wanted to see how fast the red dot was.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed on the screen. A person suddenly appeared on the screen, making Zhao Hai and Meg stare. But when they saw this person, Zhao Hai and Meg were happy. This person wasn't someone else, it was Green, who had disappeared for a few days.
Seeing Green, Meg couldn't help but cheer. She grabbed Zhao Hai's shoulder and said, "Young Master, it's Grandpa, Grandpa came back. He's looking for us."
Zhao Hai nodded. With a thought, a misty spatial rift appeared in front of Green. Then Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "Grandpa Green, quickly come in."
Green was really anxious. He had been back in the Black Wasteland for two days. This time, when he left the Black Wasteland, he went to the Purcell Duchy. This was a Duchy under the Aksu Empire, and the Grand Duke was Evan Purcell. This Duchy's area wasn't very big, but because it was backed by the Black Wasteland, it didn't have any threats. Therefore, it developed very well, and its economy was very developed. It was one of the most developed regions in the Aksu Empire, and Grand Duke Evan was naturally one of the most powerful Grand Dukes in the Aksu Empire.
It was worth mentioning that the Purcell clan and the Buda clan had a very secret relationship. Even now, Adam Buda was still engaged to Grand Duke Evan's beloved daughter, the future Grand Duchess, Ryan Purcell. Ryan was still nominally Adam Buda's fiancée, and also Zhao Hai's fiancée.
However, everyone in the continent could see that it was impossible for the Purcell clan to recognize this engagement. This was because everyone understood that there was no true friendship or love between nobles. Even if it was Adam and Ryan's engagement, it was more of a political marriage plan.
Therefore, when the Buda clan was in trouble, Green didn't ask for help from the Purcell clan. The Purcell clan also chose to forget about the Buda clan. Even when the Buda clan passed through the Purcell Duchy and entered the Black Wasteland, the Purcell clan didn't appear to meet with Green.
Green also didn't want to meet with the Purcell clan. He knew that the Purcell clan didn't hit them while they were down was already taking care of them.
However, Green also recognized that the Purcell clan's territory was really well managed. It was precisely because of this that although the Purcell clan's territory wasn't big, it had already become a Duchy.
The territory's development was good, so the ordinary people's living standards would be relatively high. Magic vegetables would also be easier to sell. Therefore, Green didn't go too far and really went to the Purcell Duchy. There, he found a large magic vegetable supplier and discussed with him the price of radishes.
Eighty thousand jins of radishes was a lot, but wanting to use eighty thousand jins of radishes to have an impact on a country's radish market was impossible. Even if the country was only a small Duchy, it was still the same.
But now, Zhao Hai didn't only have eighty thousand jins of radishes in his hands. If Zhao Hai wanted, he could plant three crops a day and harvest three crops of radishes. In other words, he could harvest two hundred and forty thousand jins of radishes a day. Two hundred and forty thousand jins a day? What kind of concept was this? As long as Zhao Hai continued to harvest radishes like this for a month, it was feared that the entire Aksu Empire's population would have enough radishes to eat.
This was where Green was embarrassed. He didn't understand Zhao Hai's space, so he could only maximize the radishes' benefits. The magic vegetable supplier he found this time was actually a famous big merchant in the whole continent. Its business spanned half of the continent, the Markey Company.
The Markey Company was the continent's famous commodity oligarch. Magic vegetables were also their main business. Their family's business was very big. Even the general aristocrats didn't dare to offend them.
Originally, the Markey Company wouldn't put Green's small business in their eyes. But there was one thing that made the Markey Company pay attention to Green, and that was the quality of the radishes.
The radishes produced on the continent were magic radishes. They weren't very big and had a spicy taste. They weren't very tasty. But the white radishes produced by the space didn't have that taste. They were straight and fat. They were crispy and sweet, making people unable to stop themselves. To use a popular Internet saying, the space's products were the best.
It was the quality of the radishes that made Green and the Markey Company reach an agreement. The radishes in Green's hands would be sold to the Markey Company at eighty percent of the market price. Every month, the Markey Company could purchase two hundred thousand jins. This was only the minimum amount. If the radishes were sold well, they could purchase more.
As soon as this business was finished, Green heard from the mercenaries in the Purcell Duchy that the magic beasts in the Carrion Swamp had rioted. This news made Green's heart sink to the bottom. He immediately rushed back to the Black Waste. But at that time, there were too many magic beasts and undead creatures in the Black Waste. He couldn't enter the range of the castle.
Green's heart burned like fire. He waited in the periphery of the Black Waste for two days. These two days, he was like an ant on a fire. He was so anxious that he was about to go crazy, but there was nothing he could do.
It wasn't that Green and the others didn't know about the outbreaks of magic beasts in the Carrion Swamp. It was just that they had always been active in the Aksu Empire's capital, so they didn't know much about the situation in the Black Wasteland. Additionally, the Black Wasteland was a dead land, so no one would come here. Therefore, they didn't pay much attention to this place, and the information they obtained was also vague. They only knew that the magic beasts in the Carrion Swamp would break out once every ten to twenty years. The last time there was an outbreak of magic beasts in the Carrion Swamp was two years ago. Therefore, whether it was Green or other people in the continent, everyone believed that this period of time should be a safe period.
It was because of this that Green didn't invest too much in the castle's defense. Therefore, when he heard that the magic beasts in the Carrion Swamp had broken out, he felt as if someone had hit his head with a hammer. He was afraid that Zhao Hai and the others would have an accident. If something happened to Zhao Hai and the others, then the Buda clan would be finished.
