When they arrived at the Buddha Empire's territory, the Hurricane Family immediately relaxed. In the Buddha Empire's territory, nobody would be able to make a move against the Hurricane Family.
The Hurricane Family wasn't a joke, they had a very good reputation in the Buddha Empire. This was because they didn't fight for power or profit. The Buddha Empire's Imperial Family had a lot of support for the Hurricane Family. The Hurricane Family also had marriage alliances with other Great Clans. In the Buddha Empire, the Hurricane Family was one of the most popular Clans.
However, Kristen wasn't in the mood to care about these things. They immediately entered the Buddha Empire's largest river, the Iron Horse River.
The Iron Horse River was the Buddha Empire's largest river. According to the legends, the Buddha Empire's founding Emperor obtained the approval of a mutated Iron Horse by this river and became his mount. This was the reason why the Buddha Empire was established. Therefore, after becoming the Emperor of the Buddha Empire, he changed the name of this river to the Iron Horse River. However, the original name of this river had already been lost.
On the other hand, the Hurricane Family's territory was located on a branch of the Iron Horse River. It was a mountainous area that didn't produce any minerals, and the land wasn't very fertile. It can be said that the Hurricane Family's territory was quite poor.
However, the Hurricane Family had been in possession of this territory for nearly a thousand years, but they didn't expand even a single step. They also didn't ask anyone to stop them. They just relied on their own people to build terraced fields in this mountainous area. They planted bamboo rice, oil fruits, and vegetables. They lived a life like a paradise.
In the eyes of other nobles, this was a typical example of not wanting to make progress. However, the Hurricane Family liked this kind of lifestyle. Every year, they would sell a large amount of bamboo rice and fruit oil, as well as some common vegetables, not magic vegetables. This made their first year's harvest less than the other Great Clans, but they were still very satisfied.
And after so many years, the Great Clans that existed in the same period as the Hurricane Family had either become the strongest Clans in the continent, or they had already disappeared from history. However, the Hurricane Family still existed, still living a simple life. This made people speechless.
However, if you think that the Hurricane Family's strength was weak, then you would be mistaken. The Hurricane Family's Mister's Wind attribute allowed them to have a lot of experts. In other families, a 7th rank or 8th rank expert would be considered a Senior Consecrator. They would be able to cultivate every day and live a luxurious life.
However, the Hurricane Family was different. An old farmer walking in the fields might be an 8th rank expert, while a woodcutter might be a 7th rank expert. Because of this, nobody in the Buddha Empire dared to look down on the Hurricane Family.
At the same time, the Hurricane Family's teachings were based on being kind to others. In the Buddha Empire, they had helped countless Great Clans. Because of this, the entire Buddha Empire started to feel grateful towards the Hurricane Family. It can be said that the Hurricane Family's status in the Buddha Empire was very high.
When the Radiant Church was at its peak, because of the Hurricane Family's lack of cooperation, they had suppressed the Hurricane Family. However, when they wanted to suppress the Hurricane Family, they found out that they didn't know where to start. The Hurricane Family didn't do any business, their biggest business was bamboo rice and fruit oil. However, these things were also necessities that the Radiant Church couldn't interfere with. When they wanted to suppress the Hurricane Family, the Nobles in the Buddha Empire didn't agree. In the end, the Radiant Church couldn't do anything about it.
Although Zhao Hai and the others had some understanding of the Hurricane Family, they weren't people of the Buddha Empire. Their understanding of the Hurricane Family was only on paper. As for the Hurricane Family's real status in the Buddha Empire, they didn't know much about it.
After traveling for three days in the Iron Horse River, they finally arrived at a branch of the river called the Flower River. Inside the Flower River, there was a lake called the Flower Lake.
On the east side of the Flower Lake, there was a stone pier. This was the Hurricane Family's private pier. And this Flower Lake was also the Hurricane Family's territory.
When the two ships stopped at the pier, Zhao Hai discovered that there were already a lot of people standing at the pier. The one leading the group was an old man wearing a blue magic robe. The old man's robe didn't look luxurious, it looked like a robe that was commonly worn by low-level Mages. There was nothing special about it.
The old man's hair was completely white, his face was full of wrinkles, he looked like an old Mage. However, Zhao Hai didn't dare underestimate this old man. Although the old man's magic fluctuations weren't strong, Zhao Hai's intuition told him that this old man was an expert.
After lowering the gangplank, Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others disembarked from the ship. Kristen also came down from the ship. It was obvious that Kristen had informed the old man about what happened. Because of this, the old man came to pick her up. Naturally, the old man also knew that Zhao Hai was by her side.
Kristen arrived in front of the old man and gave him a salute. The old man smiled kindly and said, "Good, it's good that you came back safely. I told you not to go, but you insisted. Let's go, don't neglect the guests."
After saying that, the old man walked towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai gave the old man a salute and said, "Buda Clan's Patriarch, Zhao Hai Buda has seen Old Mister."
The old man smiled faintly, then he gave a salute to Zhao Hai and said, "Juno Hurricane has seen Patriarch Zhao Hai."
Zhao Hai quickly moved away and said, "Old Mister, please don't be like this. Your Mister is already qualified to be my grandfather, how can you give me a salute? You're too kind. "
Juno looked at Zhao Hai's appearance and smiled faintly, "Patriarch Zhao Hai saved my granddaughter this time. Our Hurricane Family owes you a great favor, so you should accept this salute."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Old Mister is too polite. I just happened to help, it's not a big deal."
Juno smiled faintly, but he didn't linger on this topic. Instead, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister has arrived at our Hurricane Family's territory. Naturally, we must receive you well. Mister, please." The old man had already changed the way he addressed Zhao Hai as Patriarch to Mister. It seems like their relationship had gotten closer.
Zhao Hai also noticed the change in the way he was addressed, so he smiled and said, "Old Mister, please." Then the group walked down the pier, where several carriages were parked. These carriages looked very ordinary, even merchants wouldn't ride them. However, from the looks of the Hurricane Family, it seems like they were already used to these carriages.
Zhao Hai was now very curious about the Hurricane Family. He didn't think that there would be such a millennium-old family in this world. He couldn't help but think about how good it would be if he was born in such a family. He liked to live a peaceful life, but unfortunately, things didn't go as he wished.
After the group got on the carriage, the carriage went straight towards the Hurricane Family's territory. After going in, Zhao Hai discovered that the Hurricane Family's territory was filled with mountains. There wasn't a single piece of flat land in the area. Moreover, the roads that they went through were paved with stones, all of them were mountain roads.
Zhao Hai looked at the lush bamboo rice and oil trees on the mountain, then he turned to Laura and said, "This place is really good, it's much better than the Black Wasteland."
Laura smiled and said, "Their attitude towards life is really surprising. I didn't think that there would be such a millennium-old family in the continent. I've only read about the Hurricane Family in the past, but I didn't expect it to be like this." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
After crossing two mountains, the carriage stopped. Zhao Hai didn't immediately get off the carriage, he just stared at the village in a daze.
This village was no different from the villages they had seen on the two mountains. It was a typical mountain village with stone walls, stone houses, and a few fruit trees growing in the courtyard. Dogs were running in the trees, and they could even hear the grunting of pigs. This was a typical mountain village.
However, this village was actually the residence of the Patriarch of the Hurricane Family, a famous millennium-old family. This made Zhao Hai startled.
At this time, the people in the front carriages came down. Zhao Hai recovered and led Laura and the others down from their carriages. Juno went to Zhao Hai's side and smiled, "Mister Zhao Hai, this is where I live. The conditions are simple, please don't be offended." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, this is where I live.
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "This place is very good. I like this village very much. Old Mister, please." Juno smiled faintly and then led Zhao Hai to the courtyard. Kristen followed behind them while the others returned to their homes.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw an old woman feeding the chickens. Beside her, there were two children running wildly.
When Kristen entered the courtyard, she ran towards the old woman and hugged her, "Grandma, I missed you." The old woman looked at Zhao Hai and then bowed her head to Kristen and said, "Alright, you're a big girl now. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Quickly invite the guest inside."
Zhao Hai looked at the old woman. He could see that the old woman was an expert, she was at least a 7th rank Mage. He didn't think that a 7th rank Mage would be afraid of chickens. Moreover, she was also the Matriarch of a Thousand Family.
At this time, Zhao Hai followed Juno into the house. The room was very big. Upon entering, one could see a large living room. There were wooden chairs and a wooden tea table inside. These things seem to have been used for many years. The color was dark and gave off a heavy feeling.
After the group sat down, Kristen served them tea. Juno looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "Is Patriarch Zhao Hai not used to living in such a simple place?"
Zhao Hai shook his head, then he smiled and said, "No, I'm used to it. A year ago, I lived in a place like this, it was even worse. Hehe, my current place isn't much better than this."
Juno looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, "My Hurricane Family has been living like this for a thousand years. I'm already used to it. This time, did Patriarch Zhao Hai come to do business with the Dwarves?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I came this time to do business with the Dwarves. I'm not familiar with this place, so I'll have to trouble Old Mister."
Old Mister Juno smiled and said, "Patriarch doesn't need to be polite. You saved Kristen, we're very grateful for your kindness. To be able to help you with this small matter, I'm already very happy."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Old Mister doesn't need to be so polite. There's no need to keep talking about gratitude, there's really no need for that."
Old Mister Juno smiled and said, "Alright, then let's not talk about this. This time, I'll have to ask Patriarch Zhao Hai to stay with us for a few days. I need to make some arrangements. When the time comes, this old man will personally take Patriarch Zhao Hai to Dwarf Iron Mountain. I believe that the Dwarves would give this old man some face."
Zhao Hai stared, then he quickly said, "Then I'll have to trouble Patriarch Zhao Hai, that would be too troublesome."
Old Mister Juno waved his hand and smiled, "It doesn't matter, I'll be going to the Dwarves to visit some good friends. Patriarch Zhao Hai doesn't need to be polite. Right, I've already arranged a room for you. I'll have to ask Patriarch Zhao Hai to take a rest first. I'll call you to eat later." Zhao Hai nodded and then led Laura and the others out.
When they went out of the room, they couldn't help but stare. This was because Kristen was already waiting for them outside. However, Kristen wasn't wearing the same attire as the first time they met. The first time they met, Kristen was wearing the standard attire of a noble girl. She wore a long princess dress and her hair was also neatly combed. But now, Kristen was wearing the standard attire of an ordinary girl. Her hair was also braided, making her look like a cute girl next door.
Kristen gave Zhao Hai a salute and said, "Patriarch Zhao Hai, please come with me." Then she led Zhao Hai to a side room.
When they arrived at the side room, Kristen opened the door and made an inviting gesture to Zhao Hai, "Patriarch Zhao Hai, this is the place that Grandfather arranged for you to stay. The conditions are simple, I hope Patriarch Zhao Hai won't take offense."
Zhao Hai entered the room. The room wasn't big, it was divided into two parts. The outer part was a small living room while the inner part was a bedroom. It can be seen that this place had just been cleaned, it was very clean.
Zhao Hai turned his head to Kristen and said, "Miss Kristen is too polite. This place is very good, I like it very much. Thank you."
Kristen smiled and said, "Patriarch Zhao Hai is too polite, it's good that you don't dislike it. Patriarch Zhao Hai can rest now, I won't disturb you. If there's anything you need, just call me."
Zhao Hai nodded, then Kristen turned around and left. When she left, Meg went over and closed the door. Then the group looked at the room.
Laura smiled at Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, I didn't think that the Hurricane Family would have this kind of inheritance. It's really strange."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I didn't think that the Hurricane Family would have such a big reputation in the continent. It's really hard to imagine that with their strength, they would be willing to live such a life. It's really admirable." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright.
Laura smiled and said, "It's really admirable. But I think that we're actually quite similar to the Hurricane Family. With our current strength, I'm afraid that we can rule a country. But aren't we still living our own lives? Perhaps we're pursuing a life similar to theirs. "
