When Zhao Hai arrived outside the government hall, the eunuch standing in front of the door immediately shouted, "Zhao Hai Buda has an audience!"
Zhao Hai looked at the eunuch, then he took a deep breath and slowly walked into the Great Hall. When he entered the Great Hall, he glanced around. There were already a lot of people in the Great Hall. He saw a few people that he was familiar with, the Crown Prince, the Second Prince, Charlie, Randolph, Jason's grandfather, as well as some of the nobles that he had seen in the banquet. These people were now divided into two rows on both sides of the Great Hall. This was somewhat unexpected to Zhao Hai, he didn't think that these people would actually sit here.
In the middle of the hall was a small platform with a person sitting on it. This person was sitting on a chair made of gold and silver. The chair was inlaid with a lot of gems, but it was also covered with a layer of animal skin. It looked very soft and comfortable.
This person's stature shouldn't be very tall. He looked very refined, even somewhat delicate. His hair was a bit gray, but his face was ruddy. He wore a golden crown on his head and held a cane in his hand. This cane wasn't very long, only about 40 centimeters. It was made of gold and silver and was inlaid with a huge gem. This shouldn't be a magic staff, but a scepter, a symbol of scepter power.
This man was wearing very luxurious clothes. Although he looked refined, his body exuded an aura that made people submit. He just sat there and calmly looked at Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai could feel a pressure coming from this man. This pressure didn't seem to be aimed at Zhao Hai, but it was still very strong.
"This person should be the Rosen Empire's emperor!" Zhao Hai thought to himself. However, he immediately reacted. He slowly walked five meters away from the man and gave him a 90 degree bow. Then he straightened his body and said, "Zhao Hai Buda has seen Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"
The Roland Emperor looked at Zhao Hai and nodded, "You are Zhao Hai? Good, young man, not bad. You're the one who discovered the Robert Family's use of Antimagic Powder? "
Zhao Hai quickly replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the Robert Family attacked me with Antimagic Powder, that's how I discovered them."
The King nodded and looked at Zhao Hai, "You're a Mage? Why are you fine when the Robert Family used Antimagic Powder to attack people? "
Zhao Hai stared, but he immediately thought that it might be because Randolph didn't tell the King that he was a Dual Cultivator. He also didn't tell the King that he wasn't afraid of Antimagic Powder. He wanted to keep a trump card.
After thinking about this, Zhao Hai immediately replied, "Replying to Your Majesty, I'm not only a Mage, I'm also a Warrior, an 8th rank Warrior. Therefore, Antimagic Powder is useless against me." Zhao Hai didn't say that he wasn't afraid of Antimagic Powder, this was his trump card. Compared to this, he didn't need to hide the fact that he was a Warrior.
When Zhao Hai's words came out, all the nobles in the hall were stunned. They couldn't help but whisper to each other. They already knew that Zhao Hai was a Mage, an 8th rank Mage at that. But they didn't expect Zhao Hai to be a Warrior, an 8th rank Warrior!
In other words, Zhao Hai was a Dual Cultivator? However, in the records of the continent, Mages who were Dual Cultivators didn't have high achievements. Those who were able to reach 6th rank could be counted with one's fingers, and those who were able to reach 7th rank were even more rare.
But now, not only was Zhao Hai an 8th rank Mage, he was also an 8th rank Warrior. This was too unbelievable. If they didn't believe that Zhao Hai wouldn't dare to deceive the King, then they would have thought that Zhao Hai was lying.
The King looked at Zhao Hai with some surprise, then he nodded and said, "Good, young man, you're very good. I called you here today because I have a matter for you to deal with. If you handle this matter well, then this King will reward you!"
Zhao Hai bowed and said, "It's my duty to work for Your Majesty. I wouldn't dare ask for a reward. I ask for Your Majesty's instructions!"
The King nodded with satisfaction and said, "You were the one who discovered the Engraved Ark, so I won't hide it from you. Today, I had people turn Robert and Terry into advanced level undead. They also confessed some things, but they didn't know much. According to what they said, there should be another member of the Engraved Ark in their family. However, they don't know who this member is. As for the Robert Family, they have already been exterminated by you. With so many corpses, my people don't have the ability to turn them all into undead. Lan Qing said that you can do it, is that true?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Your Majesty. I can do it. Your Majesty can rest assured."
The King nodded and said, "Then how about we do it in this hall? I also want to see how different your Dark Magic is. "
Zhao Hai stared, then he said, "Your Majesty, turning undead requires contact with corpses. If we do it in this hall, then I'm afraid that it will dirty Your Majesty's eyes. Moreover, we need to use Dark Magic, so I'm afraid that it will offend Your Majesty."
The King didn't care, he shook his head and said, "Well, there's no need to say it. Let's do it in this hall. This King wants to see it with his own eyes."
Zhao Hai didn't say anything else, he just nodded and said, "I'll follow Your Majesty's decree!"
The King nodded, then he waved his hand. Eunuch San, who was standing next to the King, immediately took two steps forward and said, "Bring them in!" Someone outside the hall responded loudly. Then before long, stretchers were placed on corpses covered in white cloth. They were carried into the hall.
It was obvious that these corpses had been processed, they didn't have any strange smell. However, the row of corpses still didn't look good.
Although some of the nobles in the hall knew that Zhao Hai had exterminated the Robert Family, when they saw the rows of corpses being carried in, they couldn't help but feel that Zhao Hai was ruthless. They couldn't help but whisper to each other.
The King didn't care about them, he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Let's do it." Zhao Hai bowed and complied. Then he took out his Magic Staff and pretended to chant an incantation. Then a mass of black gas covered the Great Hall's corpses. When the black gas disappeared, the corpses were already standing in the hall. These people didn't look any different from when they were alive. The only difference was that their faces were pale, their eyes couldn't move, and they couldn't breathe.
Zhao Hai could have turned them into skeletons, but in order to show off his abilities, he turned them into zombies. In the Ark Continent, people weren't afraid of having abilities, they were afraid of not having abilities. As long as you have abilities, you would be valued. On the contrary, if you don't have abilities, nobody would give you a second glance.
The people in the hall looked at the undead and didn't know what to do. They had seen undead before, if they weren't skeletons, then they would be zombies with rotten flesh. But Zhao Hai's undead that looked 90% like a normal person was something that they hadn't seen before.
After dealing with the undead, Zhao Hai turned to the King and said, "Your Majesty, you can ask them now. I guarantee that they wouldn't lie."
The King was also shocked by Zhao Hai's move. Now that he heard Zhao Hai, the King nodded and said, "Alright, then you can ask them. As long as you find the Engraved Ark hidden in Robert's territory, then everything will be fine."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he immediately asked the undead. It was a pity that the Engraved Ark wasn't among them. Zhao Hai didn't waste time as he took the undead back to the Space. Then another batch of corpses was brought in. Zhao Hai continued with his work.
In the hall, Zhao Hai turned the corpses into undead. It wasn't until Zhao Hai was done that he found the Engraved Ark. But what surprised Zhao Hai was that the Engraved Ark was actually a woman, one of Robert's wives!
From the Engraved Ark's mouth, Zhao Hai was able to obtain some information. The Engraved Ark's faith was indeed the Demon God. Their mission was to destroy the Ark Continent. The Engraved Ark's members had never met each other before. Their communication was through secret codes. Most importantly, nobody knew the identity of the Engraved Ark's members. They didn't have any markings on their bodies. If there was something that could identify them, then it would be the presence of a Demon God's elephant in their home!
This information wasn't very useful to Zhao Hai. How many people were there in the Ark Continent? How many nobles were there? The Engraved Ark's members didn't have any obvious characteristics. They only said that they had a Demon God's elephant in their home, but nobody knew where it was.
However, it wasn't like they didn't have any harvest. The Engraved Ark's members knew a lot more than Robert and Terry. The Engraved Ark organization had existed for more than a thousand years. In the beginning, they were just people at the bottom of society. These people were bullied by nobles, but they didn't have any means to resist. Therefore, they banded together and created the Engraved Ark organization.
After several revolutions in the Ark Continent, the Engraved Ark changed dynasties. These people used their accumulated strength to raise some of their members to become Great Nobles. This was how the Robert Family became rich.
The most important point was that although the Engraved Ark's members didn't look like much, their hearts were filled with the belief of the Demon God. The Demon God was merciless and merciless. Because of this, the hearts of these people were somewhat dark. Just like the Robert Family's Crippled Wolf Badge!
Obtaining this information was a huge help to the Rosen Empire. At the very least, they now have a target. They can narrow down the scope of their search.
