The next day, after Zhao Hai bid farewell to the Mermaid Queen, he returned to the Haven and headed towards the continent. Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry, in any case, he was waiting for news from the Elves, other things weren't important.
As long as the Elves have news, Zhao Hai would immediately make his move. He wouldn't tell the Rosen Empire's Emperor, his father-in-law, about this matter. There was no other way, it was very difficult for the Emperor to keep a secret. In the past, the Radiant Church was very famous, who knows if they had arranged a spy in the Rosen Empire's palace. If they did, then once Zhao Hai told the Emperor about his plan, the Radiant Church would immediately know about it. When that time comes, all of Zhao Hai's plans would be exposed.
Although Zhao Hai wasn't in a hurry as he headed towards the continent, he was still paying attention to the situation. Through the Space, the Calci Family, and the Crook Family's intelligence channels, Zhao Hai had a good understanding of the continent's situation.
The Rosen Empire's response was within Zhao Hai's expectations. Although the Rosen Empire recognized the Saint Dragon Dynasty's status, they were also preparing for war, ready to deal with the Dragons at any time.
The Aksu Empire's response was outside of Zhao Hai's expectations. In Zhao Hai's mind, although the Aksu Empire was implicated by the Radiant Church and the Beastmen, now that the Dragons had joined the Radiant Church, the Radiant Church's strength had increased. At this time, the Aksu Empire should have used their previous relationship to get closer to the Radiant Church. But what made Zhao Hai surprised was that they didn't. Not only that, they even formed an alliance with the Rosen Empire.
This was beyond Zhao Hai's expectations. Zhao Hai even suspected that they might have some unspeakable secret. But after observing the Aksu Empire for a few days, Zhao Hai discovered that he was wrong. The Aksu Empire really wanted to deal with the Radiant Church this time.
What the Radiant Church did last time had already aroused the disgust of the Aksu Empire. Even if the Radiant Church conquered the other four empires, the Aksu Empire wouldn't cooperate with the Radiant Church. This wasn't just the Aksu Empire's King Boric's idea, it was also the idea of the Aksu Empire's nobles and commoners.
Although this result was outside of Zhao Hai's expectations, it still made Zhao Hai very happy. The Aksu Empire's response was definitely a good thing for Zhao Hai. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Although the Aksu Empire didn't do the right thing in the past, as long as they deal with the Radiant Church and the Dragon Race, then for Zhao Hai, they were his friends.
On the second day after Zhao Hai left Mermaid Island, Billy finally received some news. There was only one message, the Elf Queen wanted to see Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai wasn't very satisfied with this reply. The Elf Queen only said that she wanted to see him, but didn't say whether or not they would form an alliance. However, Zhao Hai had no choice but to go see the Elf Queen. This was also an opportunity, an opportunity to win over the Elves.
Zhao Hai directly went through the Space and appeared in the Dwarven Cave. The Dwarves outside were already used to Zhao Hai's sudden appearance, so they immediately went to inform Billy.
Billy also knew that Zhao Hai would come immediately. When he saw Zhao Hai, he immediately invited Zhao Hai to sit down and said, "I've told the Elves about the Radiant Church's actions. The Elves finally gave a reply. They want you to go see the Elf Queen, it seems like they're still hesitating."
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "I don't understand, why are they still hesitating? The Divine Race's spear is already at our nose, yet they're still hesitating. I'm really curious, how could such a race survive until now?"
Billy understood Zhao Hai's resentment. To be honest, he couldn't understand why the Elves would do this. However, Billy didn't complain, instead, he advised Zhao Hai, "Forget it, the Elves have been peaceful for too many years, they've already lost their courage. However, their blood magic is indeed unique. Moreover, the Elves' archery and swordsmanship are very good, especially in the jungle. There's almost no race that can win against the Elves in the jungle."
Zhao Hai nodded, he believed this point. If the Elves didn't have any means, then they would have already been captured by the Humans as slaves. One must know that Elven slaves were the most popular slaves among the Humans. However, in recent years, nobody was able to capture Elven slaves.
Billy looked at Zhao Hai and said, "The reason why the Elves don't want to see you is probably because you're a Dark Mage. The Elves don't like Dark Mages, this is something that everyone in the continent knows. And since you're famous for your Dark Magic, it's understandable that they don't want to see you."
Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly. The Elves worship nature and respect life. For the Elves, the Dark Mage's undead summoning was the greatest blasphemy against life. It would be strange if the Elves liked Zhao Hai.
Moreover, the Elves were famous for their stubbornness, even more so than the Dwarves. The Dwarves' stubbornness could sometimes be changed. Otherwise, the Dwarves wouldn't have done business with the Humans. Moreover, Billy and Juno were good friends.
The Elves, on the other hand, were completely one-track minded. They were the Lords of the Dark Magic. Moreover, whether it was towards themselves or others, they were very strict. Because of this character, almost all of the things that they produced were works of art. Anything that had flaws would be destroyed.
Because of this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly. Facing such a race, Zhao Hai really didn't know what to say. The people of this race seemed to be paranoid, it was impossible to talk to them.
Billy looked at Zhao Hai, then he sighed and said, "No matter what, the Elves are finally going to see you. You don't need to think too much about it. Rest here for a while, I'll accompany you to the Elves tomorrow. Although the Elves don't like Dark Mages, I don't think they would go too far this time."
Zhao Hai coldly snorted and said, "If they don't agree to form an alliance with us, then I won't care about them. Even if the Divine Race exterminates them later on, it has nothing to do with us. As long as they don't cooperate with the Radiant Church, then I'll make a move against them."
Billy knew that Zhao Hai was truly angry. To be honest, Billy was also very angry. At this time, the Dragons of the Radiant Church wouldn't make such a big move. For them to make such a big move, it must be because the Divine Race had given them some instructions. It might also be because they thought that the time was ripe. At this time, time was very precious. The Elves were still dilly-dallying. In this case, Zhao Hai asking for their opinion was already giving them a lot of face.
Billy didn't say anything else as he arranged a room for Zhao Hai to rest. When Zhao Hai entered the room, he immediately returned to the Space and sat on the sofa in the living room.
Laura and the others looked at Zhao Hai and knew that Zhao Hai's mood wasn't good. To be honest, they were also in a bad mood. Laura made a cup of tea for Zhao Hai and then placed it on the table in front of him. Then she whispered to Zhao Hai, "Brother Hai, don't be angry. Let's see what the Elves have to say tomorrow."
Zhao Hai slowly opened his eyes, then he sighed and said, "I really wonder what the Elves were thinking. Such a simple matter, they actually dragged it out for so long. If the Radiant Church and the Dragon Race didn't make a move, then they might have dragged it out even longer. What are they thinking?" Zhao Hai sighed and said, "What are they thinking?
Laura forced a smile and said, "The Elves are more closed off compared to the Beastmen and the Dwarves. They're almost the same as the Fishmen. The Fishmen still know how to establish a caravan in the continent to understand the situation of the continent. On the other hand, the Elves have almost no contact with the people of the continent. They only trade things from the Dwarves and have no contact with the other races. There's only one such race in the continent."
Lizzy sighed and said, "It's no wonder that the Elves are like this. The Elves and the Mermaids are different. The Mermaids can transform into humans and secretly do business in the continent. On the other hand, the Elves can't do that. Additionally, regardless of whether the Elves are male or female, as long as they appear in the continent, they would be captured and turned into slaves. In this case, it would be strange if the Elves had contact with the Humans."
Zhao also sighed with a heavy heart. He also knew that this matter couldn't be blamed on the Elves. Any other race would have reacted the same way as the Elves. In the end, it was all because of the people's intention to cause this disaster.
After resting for a while inside the Space, Billy went to find Zhao Hai for a meal. Zhao Hai had no choice but to come out of the Space. During this time, Zhao Hai was very tired. Not only was his body tired, but his heart was even more tired.
This night, Zhao Hai had a good rest with the Dwarves. The next morning, Billy took Zhao Hai and ten Dwarven warriors to the Elven Forest.
The distance between the Dwarves and the Elves wasn't close, and there was also the Accra Mountain in the middle. However, the Dwarves had their own methods. After a lot of effort, the Dwarves finally managed to connect the underground river to the Accra Mountain. Through this river, the Dwarves could directly pass through the Accra Mountain and reach the periphery of the Elven Forest.
This was a huge project. Although the Dwarves used the underground river, it wasn't omnipotent. It was impossible for the Dwarves to directly reach the periphery of the Elven Forest. It took the Dwarves more than 200 years to connect this underground passage with the Elves.
In order to make contact with the Elves more convenient, this passage was made up of underground rivers. Therefore, if one wanted to go to the Elven Forest, they would need to take a boat. Even if the boat was very fast, it would still take about five days to reach the periphery of the Elven Forest.
For the convenience of the Dwarves, they also built a few resting spots on the side of the river. These resting spots were actually caves. The Dwarves also left some food and wine in the caves for the convenience of communicating with the Elves.
