The next morning, Zhao Hai and the others came out of the Space early. After a night's rest, the soreness in their bodies had disappeared, they were now full of vigor.
After coming out of the Space, Zhao Hai took a deep breath of the cold air outside. He suddenly had the urge to laugh. This was because he felt that God's Grace Day in the Ark Continent was very similar to China's New Year's Day. You would think about the New Year before the New Year, but after the New Year, you would find that there was nothing to look forward to. What's done is done, it's done.
He was now one year older, this year had been very busy. But to be honest, now that he calmed down and thought about the things that happened this year, Zhao Hai felt as if he was in a dream. He didn't understand how he had changed from a useless otaku to a fallen aristocrat. How did he change from a person who couldn't even bear to kill a chicken to a person who could kill ten thousand people in an instant without blinking? How did he change from a person who would blush when talking to a girl to a person who had three fiancées and a servant girl who could be eaten at any time? All of this made him feel like he was dreaming, an incomparably realistic dream.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai who was standing there in a daze. She couldn't help but walk towards him and said, "What are you thinking about? It's cold outside, let's go inside. "
Zhao Hai turned his head to look at Laura's dainty face. Back on Earth, it was impossible for him to interact with this face. This was because one was the moon in the sky while the other was the mud on the ground. But here, she was his fiancée. This world was really strange.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai who was looking at her in a daze. Her face couldn't help but turn red, her heartbeat also sped up. However, she still looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What are you looking at?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I'm looking at a beauty. A beauty like you going out with me would make me feel pressured."
Laura looked at Zhao Hai, then she turned her head to look at Nier who was covering her mouth and laughing. Her face couldn't help but turn red, but her heart was filled with sweetness. However, she still looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you'll make a joke out of yourself. Come in quickly."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and entered the room. They woke up early today, and with the Calci Family staying up late last night, Smith and the others might have woken up late today. Naturally, they wouldn't be able to call Zhao Hai to eat. Zhao Hai smiled faintly and entered the room.
When Zhao Hai entered the house, Meg came in with a glass of milk. Drinking milk in the morning had become a habit for Zhao Hai and the others. However, Zhao Hai didn't like to drink milk, he preferred to drink soy milk. However, soy milk was very troublesome to make. They didn't have a soy milk machine, so they could only grind it. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't make it.
Additionally, this milk was made from their own cows, there was no Trihydroa in it. Naturally, they could drink it without any worries, they could drink as much as they want.
Zhao Hai and the others were already used to it, so they drank a glass of milk each. It wasn't only Zhao Hai who drank it, everyone in Iron Mountain Fort also drank it. Zhao Hai hoped that they would all be in good health.
After drinking the milk, Zhao Hai looked at the sky, then he turned to Megan and smiled, "It seems like Uncle and the others didn't wake up early today. Right, you should investigate the Robert Family's businesses in the next few days. We'll make our move in a few days."
Megan nodded, "Alright, I won't make any preparations in the next few days. For a millennium-old family like the Robert Family, some of their businesses are hidden, they don't use the Robert Family's name. There are also some businesses that are managed by their subordinates, these people aren't using the Robert Family's name. Because of this, if we want to deal with them, we need to deal with them as well. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to hurt their bones."
Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, we need to find them. If we want to deal with them, we need to deal with them thoroughly. If we don't hurt them, they would certainly retaliate."
Megan nodded, then she turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, I'm afraid that there will be a lot of banquets in the city in the next few days. Do you want to participate?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "This matter depends on you. You know more about the nobles in Carson City than me. You have the final say in this matter. If you want me to participate, then I'll participate. If you don't want me to participate, then I won't participate."
Megan looked at Zhao Hai and smiled faintly, "Then when will you take me to the prairie? I also want to see Brother Wales."
Zhao Hai looked at the sky and smiled, "Soon, the prairie is much colder than here. You're used to living here, but you won't be used to staying in the prairie, you might get sick. Right, during this period of time, you have to practice well. After a while, when you reach eighth rank, we'll go to the prairie. There are still a hundred thousand slaves that Brother Wales gave me, I have to bring them back to Iron Mountain Fort." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right, the prairie is much colder than here.
Megan also knew about this matter, but she didn't think that the beastmen would be so generous as to give a hundred thousand slaves. This was simply impossible in the eyes of humans. Because of this, Megan was now yearning for the prairie.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Megan nodded and said, "Alright, rest assured, I'll practice well and reach 8th rank as soon as possible. When the time comes, you must take me to the prairie."
Laura looked at Megan's appearance and couldn't help but smile, "What's so good about the prairie? You haven't seen it yet, the prairie isn't as interesting as the Space. The prairie isn't as beautiful as you think it is. Moreover, it's not as good as the Space."
Megan smiled and said, "You can go with me, I also want to see it. I haven't been to the prairie before."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright, when you practice well, I'll certainly take you there. You won't be thinking about it anymore." At this time, a servant came in and invited Zhao Hai to have a meal.
In the next few days, Zhao Hai went to participate in banquets. Zhao Hai went to places that had good relations with the Calci Family. Among them, only the Crook Family invited Zhao Hai to their banquet.
This couldn't be helped, in Carson City, Zhao Hai's fame couldn't be compared to the Calci Family. When people send invitations, they would usually send it to the Calci Family. But for banquets like this, people wouldn't just send one or two people. Because of this, Zhao Hai went with Megan every time. This made the people of Carson City envious.
Zhao Hai didn't only go out to participate in banquets, the Calci Family also held one. This was a convention, every year, these Great Clans would hold a banquet. Sometimes, there would be several Great Clans holding banquets at the same time. Therefore, the Great Clans would separate their guests, each of them going to a different place.
Besides attending the banquets, Zhao Hai was also waiting. In the past few days, Megan and Smith had been giving Zhao Hai a list of the Robert Family's shops. Zhao Hai also marked them in the Space.
After five days, Fei Ying finally marked all of the Rosen Empire's territories on the Space's map. At the same time, Zhao Hai also marked all of the Robert Family's shops on the Space's map. Now, all that was left was to wait for an opportunity to make the Robert Family pay the price.
After doing all of this, Zhao Hai also began to make preparations. He had Cai 'er understand the people in the Robert Family's shops, as well as whether there were any experts. This way, he could allocate manpower to them.
Cai 'er's work efficiency was very fast. In just two days, all of the Robert Family's shops were accounted for. Then she told Zhao Hai everything.
Looking at the map, Zhao Hai knew how formidable a millennium-old family was. Aside from the Robert Family's shops in Carson City, they also had more than 1300 shops in the Rosen Empire. Of these shops, 630 were publicly owned, directly under the Robert Family's banner. There were also 700 shops that weren't owned by the Robert Family. These shops belonged to the Robert Family's small nobles. In fact, these shops were also owned by the Robert Family.
Most importantly, each of these thousand shops had at least one 8th rank expert. Some of the major cities only had one 8th rank expert. In addition to 8th rank experts, there were also 7th rank and 6th rank experts. Of the more than 1300 shops, there were actually more than 2000 8th rank experts. This number made Zhao Hai very surprised.
In the past, the Buda Clan only had two 8th ranks, Green and Merine. They were already able to do well in the Aksu Empire. But now, the Robert Family had more than 2000 8th ranks in their shops. The difference was too big.
Actually, Zhao Hai didn't know that the reason why the Buda Clan was able to do well in the past was because they were favored by the Old Emperor. Those people didn't give face to the Buda Clan, but to the Old Emperor.
As long as it was a noble who settled down in the Imperial Capital of a few Empires, they would generally have some 9th rank experts in their family. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to survive. Even if they didn't have a 9th rank expert, they would still be dependent on the Great Clans. They could only be regarded as vassal clans.
Thus, Zhao Hai was surprised to find out that there were a lot more 9th ranks in the Human Race compared to the Carrion Swamp. Even if the 9th ranks in the Carrion Swamp were more powerful than the 9th ranks of the Human Race, they still wouldn't be able to fight against the 9th ranks of the Human Race. It was only because of Cai 'er that the 9th ranks of the Carrion Swamp couldn't resist her poison. Because of this, the 9th ranks of the Human Race were able to sign an agreement with the 9th ranks of the Magic Beasts.
After Zhao Hai understood the strength of a millennium-old Clan, the pride that rose in his heart immediately disappeared. Now, he was thinking about the strength of the Radiant Church.
The Calci Family and the Robert Family were both millennium-old Clans. Therefore, the Calci Family shouldn't be any weaker than the Robert Family. Since the Radiant Church was able to suppress the Calci Family, this meant that they were much more powerful than a millennium-old Clan. This made Zhao Hai pay attention to them.
However, Zhao Hai was thinking too much. The 9th ranks in the Carrion Swamp weren't easy to deal with. And with the special environment they were in, their fighting strength couldn't be compared to ordinary 9th ranks. Additionally, the 9th ranks of the Human Race were scattered among the Great Clans, making it very difficult for them to unite. If they could unite, then they would have already conquered the Carrion Swamp.
While Zhao Hai was waiting for the right opportunity to make his move, an opportunity suddenly came. Zhao Hai was sitting in the living room looking at a map projection. This map wasn't an ordinary one, it was three-dimensional, just like the ones in science fiction movies back on Earth. Zhao Hai could zoom in and out of the map at will, he could also zoom in and out. This was a new ability of the Space that Cai 'er told him about.
At this time, the map was showing a panoramic view of the Rosen Empire. There were a lot of red dots on the map. These red dots were the Robert Family's shops, Zhao Hai's target. There were also some green dots in the middle of these red dots. These green dots weren't shops, but rather the residences of nobles. These nobles were the vassals of the Robert Family. Zhao Hai still couldn't make up his mind, he didn't want to deal with these small nobles as well.
Laura and the others were also looking at the three-dimensional map with Zhao Hai. Although this wasn't the first time they saw it, they were still surprised every time they saw it. The Space gave them a lot of surprises, this map really surprised them.
The Ark Continent's way of fighting was still very primitive. There weren't any strict military tactics. Generally speaking, there were three types of tactics, scouting and assassination, long range attacks from mages and magic cannons, as well as large scale infantry attacks. There were almost no military tactics, everything was based on strength.
In this way, they didn't need a sand table. Most countries only needed to bring a map when they went to war. They didn't have any sand table or battle plans. Moreover, in their armies, they didn't have any advisors or advisors. These people were all generals.
It was precisely because they didn't have a sand table that Laura and the others were surprised when they saw the three-dimensional map. This was because they didn't think that there would be a three-dimensional map like this.
At this time, Megan came in from the outside. Megan would go to her father's place every day. First, she would learn how to deal with some matters. Second, she would look at the banquets that Zhao Hai was going to attend.
When Zhao Hai saw Megan's expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong? Why are you so happy? Did something good happen? "
Megan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, can you guess who sent me an invitation?"
Zhao Hai stared, he looked at Megan's smile and suddenly thought of someone. He turned his head to Megan and said, "Is it the Robert Family?"
Megan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, can't you guess wrong once? Let me be happy, I don't feel any sense of accomplishment. "Then she handed the invitation over to Zhao Hai.
