A servant brought them some tea before leaving. Because the battle didn't last long, and because the other party only used long-range weapons, the damage to the Hurricane Family's ship wasn't very serious.
After the group sat down, Kristen began to talk about how they were attacked. Although the Hurricane Family was very low-key and didn't do much business, this didn't mean that they didn't do any business. The Hurricane Family also did business, it's just that they weren't as big as the other Great Clans.
If a Great Clan wants to maintain their own interests, then they would need to have strength. The Hurricane Family didn't like doing business, but in order to maintain the normal operations of their territory, doing business was inevitable. However, the Hurricane Family's character wasn't very suitable for doing business. Because of this, their business was very small, and they only focused on maintaining the normal operations of their territory.
This time, Kristen went to Rosen Empire to do business before returning home. When they went to Rosen Empire to do business, they didn't go to Golden Island. Instead, they went to Rising Water City. Although Golden Island had risen, with the Hurricane Family's character, they didn't immediately move to Golden Island. Instead, they stayed in Rising Water City and didn't move.
When the group returned, they were suddenly surrounded by six five-masted ships with pirate flags. Although they retaliated, their firepower simply couldn't compare to the other party. Additionally, the other party's ships were much better compared to the Hurricane Family's cargo ships. Because of this, the Hurricane Family was beaten up. If it wasn't for Zhao Hai's appearance, the Hurricane Family would have been dealt with by the six ships sooner or later.
After Kristen finished speaking, Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "We wanted to go to the Buddha Empire to take a look, but we didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing. Therefore, we came here to take a look. Does Miss Kristen find it strange? Which pirate crew is rich enough to take out six five-masted ironclad warships for a robbery? "
Kristen's character was similar to the Hurricane Family's. As long as you don't offend her, she would be easy to talk to. However, this didn't mean that she was a fool. On the contrary, the Hurricane Family's members were very smart. It's just that they used their intelligence for magic research and other things. Smart, but not ambitious. This was the general impression that the people of the continent had of the Hurricane Family.
When Kristen heard Zhao Hai, her eyes couldn't help but light up. She looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, what do you want to say?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I suspect that the other party isn't a pirate. Miss Kristen should also know that pirates in the sea are all backed by various families. And with the Hurricane Family's reputation in the continent, I believe that even pirates wouldn't dare to touch the Hurricane Family's ship, let alone such a strong pirate. Am I right?"
Kristen nodded, then she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Right, mister is right. My Hurricane Family doesn't dare to speak about other things, but in the continent, our Hurricane Family has friends everywhere. We have almost no enemies."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Right, Miss Kristen is right. But as you said, almost no enemies, not completely none. Did Miss Kristen forget that you still have a big enemy?"
Kristen stared, then she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, what do you mean? The Radiant Church? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "It's very possible. How about this, we'll turn the people on those ships into undead. Then we can ask them about it. Wouldn't that be clear?"
Kristen stared, then she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "You mean, you want to turn the people on those ships into undead? Patriarch Zhao Hai, isn't this a bad idea? "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "There's nothing bad about it. The Aksu Empire has several hundred thousand people, and I've already turned them into undead. Why would I care about these few people?" Then he stood up and walked out.
Kristen looked at Zhao Hai's back, her eyes flashed with disgust. The Hurricane Family was famous in the continent for being good people. Therefore, they couldn't stand Zhao Hai's cruel and merciless behavior.
However, she still followed Zhao Hai out of the cabin. This matter was related to the Hurricane Family's future, so she had no choice but to come out.
Zhao Hai didn't care about this, he didn't want anything to happen between him and Kristen. The only reason he helped the Hurricane Family was to increase the hatred between the Hurricane Family and the Radiant Church.
Outside the ship, Zhao Hai softly recited a few incantations. Then he waved his hand as a black gas flew out from his magic staff. Before long, the black gas surrounded the ship. When the black gas disappeared, Kristen discovered that there were shadows on the ship once again.
Zhao Hai did the same thing, he turned the people on the other ships into undead. Then he had the other ships approach the Hurricane Family's ship. Only then did he have the people in charge of those ships enter the Hurricane Family's ship.
During the battle, Kristen had already seen the people in charge of those ships through magic. Therefore, she knew that Zhao Hai didn't send his undead to impersonate them.
When the group boarded the ship, Zhao Hai looked at them and had them report their names. Sure enough, they weren't pirates, they were the active navy of the Ocean Waves Dynasty. The Ocean Waves Dynasty was surrounded by the sea on three sides, the internal water system was very developed. Because of this, the Ocean Waves Dynasty's navy was the most powerful in the continent.
However, although these people were navy, they didn't have any relationship with the Radiant Church. They were just following orders, they didn't know anything else.
However, Zhao Hai wasn't worried. He asked the people who were in charge of the six ships. Zhao Hai was very clear about the Radiant Church's style of doing things. It was impossible for them to not send someone to monitor this matter.
Sure enough, the people named a person. Zhao Hai immediately called that person to the ship and asked him. Sure enough, that person was a member of the Radiant Church. Moreover, his rank wasn't low, he was a priest. This time, they were ordered by the Radiant Church to deal with the Hurricane Family. However, they didn't know anything else.
However, this was enough. At least, Zhao Hai and Kristen knew that the Radiant Church was the one who dealt with the Hurricane Family. Zhao Hai wasn't lying.
Zhao Hai also confirmed his guess. The Radiant Church had indeed taken control of the Ocean Waves Dynasty. Moreover, they had changed their methods from the surface to the dark.
After asking the person, Zhao Hai had them return to the ship and had them sail away. Then he followed Kristen back to the ship's living room.
Kristen frowned, she felt that this matter was very thorny. Although the Radiant Church had been suppressed, their foundation was still there. They only rarely showed themselves in the continent, but there were still a lot of loyal followers. Moreover, she didn't know what the purpose of the Monarchs in the continent was. In any case, aside from the Rosen Empire and the Aksu Empire, the other countries didn't completely exterminate the Radiant Church. There were still churches in some countries that were preaching, but the number of people going to them had decreased.
Therefore, although the Radiant Church was being honest, it didn't mean that they were weak. Moreover, Kristen wasn't a fool, she already knew from the undead that the Radiant Church had a special relationship with the Ocean Waves Dynasty. It seems like what Zhao Hai said was true, the Radiant Church was now in the dark. They had become more difficult to deal with.
Zhao Hai looked at Kristen, then he smiled faintly and said, "Miss Kristen, I only told you this because I want you to be more careful. Since this matter has already passed, then I'll take my leave. I still have matters to attend to in the Buddha Empire, so I won't bother you any longer."
Kristen stared for a moment, but she immediately reacted. She lowered her head and thought about things, she didn't even say a word to Zhao Hai. This was very disrespectful to Zhao Hai. After thinking about this, Kristen's face couldn't help but turn red. She quickly stood up and gave a salute to Zhao Hai, "I'm sorry, Mister. I was distracted by my thoughts and neglected Mister. I ask Mister to forgive me. Why did Mister leave so quickly? Mister has saved our lives, so I ask Mister to stay and give us a chance to repay our gratitude. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Miss is too polite, there's no need for that. For me, it's just a matter of lifting my hand. Moreover, I also obtained six battleships, which is a huge profit for me. I really do have matters to attend to in the Buddha Empire, Miss shouldn't think too much about it."
Kristen quickly replied, "Why did Mister go to the Buddha Empire? My Hurricane Family has some influence in the Buddha Empire, maybe we can help Mister. "
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "This time, I'm going to the Buddha Empire because I want to see Dwarf Iron Mountain. I want to see if I can do business with the Dwarves."
When Kristen heard Zhao Hai, her brows couldn't help but knit. Dwarf Iron Mountain's position in the Buddha Empire was very strange. The Buddha Empire needed Dwarf armor and weapons, but they didn't want the Dwarves to be too strong. Therefore, they wanted to deal with the Dwarves like how the Humans controlled the Beastmen. However, the Dwarves weren't fools, their tempers were even worse than the Beastmen. Therefore, as long as the Buddha Empire deceived them, they would immediately go to war.
Because of this, the people of the Buddha Empire didn't dare deceive the Dwarves. However, the Buddha Empire still thought of a way to prevent the Dwarves from contacting the merchants of other countries as much as possible. This was to ensure that the Dwarves would sell their ironware to them.
This was what the entire Buddha Empire was doing. Under their destruction, very few merchants were able to trade with the Dwarves for a long time. Even the Great Clans weren't able to do business with them. Because of this, when Kristen heard that Zhao Hai wanted to do business with the Dwarves, her expression changed.
When Zhao Hai saw Kristen's expression, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong, Miss Kristen? Is there a problem? "
Kristen didn't hide it from Zhao Hai. In fact, this matter was known to all the influential people in the continent, it wasn't a strange thing.
When Zhao Hai heard Kristen, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, I'm just going to take a look. I don't really care if I can do business or not."
