"Stupid!" Just as Smith's voice fell, Randolph immediately reprimanded him, "Don't listen to them, they're short-sighted. If they were placed outside the Calci Family, who knows how many times they would have died."
Randolph paused for a moment, then he sighed and said, "Little Fool, you have to remember, as a Patriarch of a Great Family, there are times when you need to stick to your own ideas. Even if you want to go your own way, as long as it's beneficial to the family, you have to do it. Even if you fail, the Calci Family can still afford to lose. I'm afraid that if you don't dare to do anything, in the end, the Patriarch position would only be a decoration."
When Smith heard Randolph, he nodded. At the same time, his eyes shone, this was because he discovered that Randolph's words were meant for his successor. Could it be …. Smith couldn't help but think about it.
Randolph looked at Smith and said, "What is Little Hai's status now? He's the Patriarch of the Buda Clan, his strength is tyrannical, he can command ten 9th ranks. They want to control such a person? I think they're crazy. Even if we do control Little Hai, what good would it do for the Calci Family? Little Hai's strength is very strong, in the end, he would become a subordinate of the strong. This would only make the Calci Family more unstable. Moreover, the Calci Family doesn't need that many 9th ranks, what we need now is a strong ally. If the Buda Clan can become one of the top clans in the continent, then the Calci Family would gain a lot of benefits. In this case, why don't we fully support Little Hai and make the Buda Clan take less detours. This way, not only would we gain an ally, it would also leave a good impression on Little Hai. When the time comes, Little Hai's help to the Calci Family would be even greater. "
Smith nodded and said, "Yes, Father, I understand. Rest assured, I know what to do. Right, Father, if Little Hai succeeds in Golden Island, would it affect Sky Water City?"
Randolph smiled faintly and said, "There shouldn't be any impact. Even if there is an impact, it would be a good one. If he does well, then most of the goods would be stolen by the pirates, so they would certainly be very cheap. There would certainly be merchants who would buy the goods and then bring them to Sky Water City to sell. The pirates wouldn't dare to come to Sky Water City, but the merchants wouldn't have any problems. This would give the pirates an opportunity to launder their money. Hehe, for Sky Water City, this might be a good thing."
Smith nodded and said, "Yes, Father, I understand what to do. Tomorrow, Little Hai will go to the Crook Family as well as Prince Charlie. What do you think will happen to Prince Charlie?"
Randolph smiled faintly and said, "What can happen to Prince Charlie? Zhao Hai is his man, His Majesty must have known about this. But today, His Majesty rewarded Zhao Hai, this is equal to increasing Prince Charlie's strength. Naturally, Prince Charlie would be happy. Now, it seems like Prince Charlie's chances of getting the throne have increased. But we still don't need to get involved, we just need to maintain our family's position."
Smith nodded and said, "Alright, don't worry, I know what to do. I won't participate in Little Hai's matter." Randolph nodded.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai didn't need to continue watching. He knew that he now had the full support of the Calci Family, this was very important for the Buda Clan.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath as he sat quietly in the living room. This time's operation was really good. Not only did he obtain the title of Marquis, he also obtained the full support of the Calci Family. Moreover, he could also become an eternal ally of the Crook Family. At this point, he had already spread his net in the Rosen Empire. This net was still immature, but as the Buda Clan grows, this net would become more and more solid.
After resting for a while, Zhao Hai called out the Robert Family's undead. He also wanted to ask about other things, such as the Battle Qi Cultivation Methods of the Robert Family.
Although the Robert Family had the Wild Dragon Battle Qi, it wasn't suitable for everyone. Because of this, Zhao Hai wanted to hear about the Battle Qi Cultivation Methods of the other families. Even if he didn't use them himself, he could still give them to the children of the other families in the future. One must know that the things in the hands of millennium-old families weren't inferior goods.
The most precious thing that Zhao Hai obtained from the Calci Family wasn't the money, but the Calci Family's internal library.
Although there were a lot of books in the Ark Continent, the truly useful ones were mostly in the hands of the Great Nobles. Most people wouldn't be able to see them.
And since the Robert Family was one of the Great Clans of the Rosen Empire, it was natural for them to have their own internal library. This library didn't only contain information about the Robert Family, it also had a lot of Battle Qi Cultivation Methods. These things were very important to Zhao Hai.
What made Zhao Hai the happiest was that among these books, Zhao Hai also found some notes. These notes were carefully kept in wooden boxes by the Robert Family, it seems like they were more precious than the books.
After Zhao Hai saw these notes, he understood why the Robert Family valued them so much. It was because these notes were the cultivation experiences of 9th rank experts!
The cultivation experiences of 9th rank experts were definitely good things. For Zhao Hai, these things might not be very useful, but for Green and the others, they were very useful.
Grimm, Merlin, and Kun John had already reached the peak of the Eighth-level. They were only one step away from the Ninth-level. These cultivation experiences could provide them with some precision.
Zhao Hai now understood why it was easy for big clans to have a Rank Nine expert, but it was difficult for small clans to have a Rank Nine expert. What they lacked was this kind of cultivation experience.
Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't write down the Battle Qi Cultivation Methods himself. He gave the Robert Family members some paper and had them write down their own notes. In any case, they were now Advanced Level undead, writing wasn't a problem for them.
This was also what Zhao Hai thought about. After thinking about this, Zhao Hai called out the other undead experts from the Space. In any case, they didn't have anything to do right now, they didn't need to fight. This was the perfect time for them to write down their own cultivation experiences. This would be very important for Zhao Hai and the others' future development.
Nothing happened today, but the Ark Continent was in turmoil. The appearance of Engraved Ark, the appearance of Antimagic Powder, the extermination of the Robert Family, Zhao Hai's Marquis title, and the ownership of Golden Island. All of these had caused the continent to be in turmoil.
The appearance of Engraved Ark and Antimagic Powder was still a distant matter to the people of the continent. It only caused a stir among the Mages and the higher-ups of the continent.
However, the ownership of Golden Island had attracted the attention of many people in the continent. What kind of place was Golden Island? All the nobles in the continent knew about it, even the commoners knew about it.
The ownership of Golden Island had always been a hot topic between the Rosen Empire and the Aksu Empire. It was precisely because of this that Golden Island had no owner.
Now that Golden Island had an owner, this owner's identity was even more mysterious, the Buda Clan was born in the Aksu Empire. However, the Buda Clan's reward came from the Rosen Empire, this made everyone in the continent startled.
The Rosen Empire's reward was very thought-provoking. The relationship between the Buda Clan and the Aksu Empire was something that everyone in the continent knew about. At first, everyone thought that the Buda Clan was finished. But who would've thought that they would suddenly rise and become one of the most powerful clans in the continent.
In this case, the Rosen Empire suddenly gave Zhao Hai's fief to Golden Island. This matter made people think about it carefully.
The Aksu Empire quickly expressed their stance. They were determined not to recognize the Rosen Empire's decision. Moreover, they insisted that Golden Island belonged to the Aksu Empire. If the Rosen Empire dared to send people to Golden Island, the Aksu Empire wouldn't be able to guarantee the consequences.
This was undoubtedly a threat. If the Rosen Empire didn't take back their decision, then it might lead to a war between the two empires.
As for Zhao Hai, the Aksu Empire didn't say anything. Zhao Hai's family's title and fief were confirmed by the Radiant Church as well as the major powers of the continent. Therefore, even if they wanted to expel Zhao Hai from the Aksu Empire, it was still impossible. Moreover, in the continent, Nobles were allowed to have dual citizenship and receive titles.
However, these were just fleeting clouds in Zhao Hai's eyes. Since Golden Island had been given to him, he could now claim it. Before, he didn't claim it because he didn't have the Rosen Empire's reward. If he claimed it, then it would be equal to offending two major powers. Now that he claimed it, he wasn't afraid of offending one of them.
Zhao Hai didn't have a good impression of the Aksu Empire. They treated the Buda Clan too harshly. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't consider himself as an Aksu Empire citizen. He only considered himself as a citizen of the Black Wasteland. This was because that was his kingdom. Therefore, he didn't have any psychological burden when it came to offending the Aksu Empire.
At night, Zhao Hai brought Green and the others to the Space. He told them about what happened today as well as his new title and fief.
Green and the others didn't oppose, they also didn't have a good impression of the Aksu Empire. Now that Zhao Hai's title in the Rosen Empire was higher than the one in the Aksu Empire, Green and the others naturally thought of themselves as people of the Rosen Empire. After all, they were natives of the Ark Continent, so they valued their titles very much. They weren't like Zhao Hai, in Zhao Hai's eyes, as long as one had enough strength, they didn't care about their titles.
Green and the others immediately agreed to Zhao Hai's idea. For them, it didn't matter if Golden Island becomes a chicken that lays eggs, as long as the Buda Clan's territory is big enough, then it's fine.
After discussing this matter with Green and the others, Zhao Hai gave the 9th rank expert's notes to Green and the others. Green and the others felt as if they had just received a treasure. They didn't leave the Space and immediately went inside to read the notes.
The Space's environment was very good, it was very suitable for them to practice. Because of this, they didn't want to go out. Fortunately, Iron Mountain Fort didn't have too many matters to deal with. Even if they closed up inside the Space for a few days, it wouldn't matter.
At night, they rested inside the Space. The next morning, after eating breakfast, Zhao Hai sat in his carriage and went to the Crook Family.
This time, when Zhao Hai arrived at the Crook Family, it wasn't like the last time where only Jason was waiting for him. This time, Jason's grandfather led the group. The Crook Family's senior members were all outside the fort to greet Zhao Hai, giving him a lot of face.
Zhao Hai wasn't too ostentatious today, he only brought Shue and Shun with him. Laura and the others were still sorting out the books inside the Space. These books couldn't be sorted out in a day or two.
When Zhao Hai saw the Crook Family's posture, he couldn't help but stare. He didn't expect the Crook Family to muster such a large force. When the carriage stopped, he immediately got down and bowed to Jason's grandfather and said, "Grandfather, why did you come out personally? This is too much for me." Jason's grandfather nodded and said, "Grandfather, you came out personally.
When Jason's grandfather heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but smile. Then he gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Crook Family's Patriarch, Jason Crook has seen Patriarch Zhao Hai Buda."
When Zhao Hai heard Jason, he stared. But he immediately understood what Jason meant, so he quickly returned the salute and said, "Zhao Hai Buda has seen Patriarch Jason!"
After the formal greeting, Jason introduced his family members to Zhao Hai. Jason's father was called Ron. Zhao Hai didn't know Jason's and Ron's names until now. Zhao Hai only paid attention to their names. As for the other members of the Crook Family, Zhao Hai didn't pay special attention to them. Instead, he gave them to Cai 'er to record.
After the introductions were finished, Jason laughed and said to Zhao Hai, "Little Hai, welcome to our family. God's Grace Day has already passed and you only came a few days ago. I'm really angry."
When Zhao Hai heard Jason, he immediately understood what Jason meant. When he was introduced, Jason was the Buda Clan's Patriarch. But now, he was Jason's friend, his junior. Because of this, Jason spoke in this tone.
Zhao Hai liked it when Jason spoke in this tone, it was more natural. Zhao Hai immediately smiled and said, "There have been a lot of things going on recently. But I did attend the banquet a few days ago. It's just that Grandfather was too busy and didn't attend. You can't blame me for this."
Jason laughed and said, "Alright, what you said is reasonable. But today, you have to accompany me for a few drinks. Come, let's talk inside."
