Although Golden Island had merchants for a month, the island's current business could only be described as booming. Pirates, Merchants, Great Clans, all kinds of people were present.
A month ago, Golden Island was just starting to take shape. But this boom was still continuing. And as time passed, this boom was getting stronger and stronger.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't in Golden Island at this time. Zhao Hai had returned to Carson City. This was because he wanted to do something big, something that was related to the Buda Clan.
Laura and the others had discussed before that they wanted to build a castle on top of a hill outside Carson City. This way, the Buda Clan's status in Carson City could be confirmed. After the discussion, they were busy with Golden Island, so this matter was put aside for the time being.
However, they couldn't completely put this matter aside. They asked Prince Charlie, Jason, and the others to help them see if there were any empty hills outside Carson City. After determining the location, they would make their move.
Naturally, Charlie and the others were willing to help. But after so many years, there weren't any empty hills outside Carson City. Even if there were, they would be very small hills. Not to mention Zhao Hai, Charlie and the others didn't like them. Naturally, it was impossible for them to give these hills to Zhao Hai.
Originally, Laura and the others wanted Zhao Hai to live in the Robert Family's hill. However, Zhao Hai didn't agree in the end. He also felt that it would be strange to exterminate the Robert Family and live in their castle.
Naturally, Charlie and the others didn't agree. But after a long time, they still couldn't find a suitable hill for Zhao Hai. This made Charlie and Jason feel sorry for Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai had asked them to help, but they still couldn't do it.
In the end, Charlie thought of a way. Since there weren't any suitable hills, they would have to see if there were people who wanted to give them up.
After searching for a few days, Charlie still couldn't find any people in those hills, which made Charlie feel very embarrassed. Jason was also the same, he was even more concerned than Charlie. But there was no other way, the people who lived in the hills were mostly Great Nobles. They had their own chain of interests, and their families were doing very well. Charlie and Jason couldn't just let these people give their place to Zhao Hai, it was impossible. Those who lived around Carson City weren't people to be trifled with.
Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry, God's Grace Day has already passed for two months. Golden Island's development was very good, the Aksu Empire's spring had also arrived, and the Prairie's spring had also arrived. As long as spring arrives, Zhao Hai would go to the Prairie and take a look. It seems like he wouldn't have time to build a castle on top of a mountain.
Just as Charlie and the others were about to give up, they suddenly received news that the Ryan Continent's family's castle was now being sold.
Lionheart was Zhao Hai's first enemy when he arrived in Rosen Empire. Lionheart had colluded with the Radiant Church and was later killed by Zhao Hai. At the same time, Lionheart's castle was occupied by a nobleman of Rosen Empire.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that the castle was occupied. This was because at that time, the Lionheart Family's belongings were divided among them. Naturally, the nobleman bought the castle for a very low price, it was better to say that he was occupying it.
However, because of the matter between the Robert Family and Engraved Ark, the atmosphere in Carson City became very tense. Everyone was trying their best to track down the people and matters related to the Robert Family. Needless to say, the nobleman who bought Lionheart's castle was a Second Grade Duke. He didn't have the strength to establish his own Duchy, but his fief wasn't small. However, this person's relationship with the Robert Family was very secretive. His family's emblem was a raging bull, this bull was missing a horn and its eyes were glowing with anger.
The Rosen Empire was very sensitive to this emblem, and with the fact that the Robert Family had a secret relationship with them, they immediately started to investigate the family.
This investigation really did reveal something. The relationship between their family and the Robert Family was very unusual. It was possible that there was someone who engraved the plates. Just as the Imperial Family was about to thoroughly investigate the Robert Family, the Robert Family suddenly disappeared.
In just one night, the Lionheart Family disappeared. Moreover, all of the family's valuables weren't taken away. All of the family's servants were also left behind. All of the family's businesses were still there, but all of the family's direct family members were gone, not a single one was left behind.
This caused a sensation in the Rosen Empire. At this time, the Lionheart Family's disappearance was undoubtedly proof of their identity. The Rosen Empire's Imperial Family immediately conducted a thorough search of the Lionheart Family. In the end, they discovered that all of the family's information had been taken away. Moreover, the family's valuables weren't taken away. This made the Imperial Family even more suspicious. They immediately issued a national arrest warrant, wanting to capture the family. However, the family seemed to have disappeared, there was no news about them at all.
Because of this, the castle became empty. But the Rosen Empire still arrested all of the family's servants and people related to the family. They wanted to interrogate them about the family, but in the end, all of their efforts were in vain. The servants simply didn't know anything.
Because of this, the matter was left unsolved. It was a pity that the castle was empty, but Charlie and Jason were very happy. They knew about Grand Duke Lionheart's castle, it was built very well. After all, the Grand Duke was very famous in the past. Now that the castle was ownerless, it was best for Zhao Hai to buy it.
Moreover, because of the family's hasty escape, they didn't take away all of the valuables from the castle. Although the gold, silver, and other nobles' belongings were taken away by the Imperial Family, the castle still had everything. As long as people enter, they can move in. Because of this, Charlie and the others wanted Zhao Hai to buy the castle as the Buda Clan's base.
Zhao Hai naturally knew about this matter. Although he still wanted Iron Mountain Fort as his base, he still needed a castle in Carson City. First, it represented the Buda Clan's status. Second, it showed the Buda Clan's determination to become a part of the Rosen Empire.
Under Charlie and the others' operation, the matter was quickly completed. In the end, Zhao Hai bought the castle as well as the mountain where the castle was located for 10 million gold islands.
After taking the castle, Zhao Hai sent the craftsmen from Golden Island to the castle. At the very least, the castle's emblem needed to be changed. There were also some things inside the castle that Zhao Hai needed to change.
Zhao Hai returned to Carson City for this matter. He already told the undead about the castle's modifications. At the same time, he also had Cai 'er supervise. At the same time, Zhao Hai took Laura and the others to Carson City's slave market.
Carson City's slave market wasn't located inside the city, it was instead located in a valley outside the city. The entire valley was a huge slave market.
This was the first time that Zhao Hai came here. Since Kun and Laura were in charge of Golden Island, Zhao Hai didn't need to worry about anything. So he led Laura and the others to the slave market. They were going to the Prairie to get their 100 thousand slaves. 100 thousand Beastman slaves weren't easy to manage, Zhao Hai also wanted to buy some Human slaves.
The entrance to the valley wasn't very wide, it only allowed two carriages to enter side by side. There were no people in sight at the entrance, there weren't any buildings, it looked like an ordinary valley.
However, when Zhao Hai's carriage entered the valley, he couldn't help but be startled. Zhao Hai had been in the Ark Continent for more than a year, but this was the first time that he came to a slave market. He thought that the slave market would be very dirty and messy. But when he entered the slave market, he understood that he was wrong. Moreover, it was very outrageous.
Not only was the slave market not dirty, it wasn't messy at all. In comparison, the slave market was much cleaner than other markets. It also wasn't as lively as other markets. However, the shops here were very beautiful.
Looking at the two rows of three-storey buildings, they were neat and beautiful. Zhao Hai really couldn't relate this place to a slave market. After looking at it for some time, Zhao Hai turned his head to Megan and said, "Megan, are you sure? Is this really a slave market? "
Megan smiled and said, "Of course I'm not wrong, this really is a slave market. I came here before because I was curious."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he looked around and said, "Such a beautiful place, but it actually has such a dirty trade. Who would believe it?"
Laura and the others didn't say anything. They were natives of the Ark Continent, so they weren't as disgusted with the slave market as Zhao Hai was. However, they had stayed in Iron Mountain Fort for a long time and saw the happy expressions of the people there. This made them have a bad impression on the slave market.
When the carriage stopped in front of a shop, Zhao Hai and the others got down from the carriage. Immediately, a person came out of the shop to welcome them. This person was very well-dressed, he was wearing a merchant's uniform. He didn't have any symbol of nobility on his body. However, Zhao Hai didn't dare underestimate this person. This was because Megan had told him that almost all of the slave traders in the continent were nobles. The bigger the slave trader, the bigger the influence behind him. This small merchant wasn't anything special, but the influence behind him was very formidable.
The merchant looked at Zhao Hai's carriage, then his eyes shone. He immediately walked towards Zhao Hai and gave a bow to Zhao Hai, "Merchant Lin has seen Sir Marquis."
Zhao Hai stared, then he looked at the merchant and said, "You know me?"
