The sky slowly darkened. Throughout the castle, aside from Zhao Hai's room, which was lit by magic lamps, all other places were lit by torches.
These magic lamps were made from a type of magic stone found in the Ark Continent. There were only two ways to obtain magic stones. One was through underground magic stone mines. There were good and bad magic stones, depending on how much energy they contained. Those with more energy could be used to power magic tools. Those with less energy could only be used for illumination. These underground magic stones could only be used once. Once they were used up, the magic stones would become useless.
There was another type of magic stone that was produced from magic beasts. This type of magic stone was very rare. Ten magic beasts wouldn't necessarily have one magic stone. Although the magic stones produced from these magic beasts weren't very high in energy, they were very stable. They were auxiliary tools for magicians when casting magic. The most important thing was that these magic stones could be used repeatedly. After their energy was exhausted, as long as a period of time passed, they would be able to absorb magic energy of the same attribute from the natural world and slowly replenish it. This way, they could be used again and again.
No matter what kind of magic stone it was, they were all very expensive. The magic stones produced from magic stone mines were a bit cheaper than those from magic beasts. However, the price wasn't something that ordinary people could afford.
The Buda clan was in an extraordinary period. Although Green had bought several magic stones, each one was very precious and couldn't be used indiscriminately. Therefore, at night, aside from Zhao Hai's room, all other places were lit with torches.
At this time, the slaves had already eaten and gone to sleep. Merine had just finished cooking and had Meg call Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai slept very soundly. Although he had arrived in another world, he now had a spatial farm. He didn't have to worry about making a living. Moreover, because he had been unconscious these past few days, Merine had been using magic to heal him. There was still a large amount of water element in his body. Water element had a calming effect, and now that he had put down his worries, he slept very soundly.
When Meg arrived outside Zhao Hai's room, she first listened to the sounds in the room. The room was very quiet, without any sound at all. Meg immediately knocked on the door and said, "Young master, wake up. It's time for dinner."
There was still no sound in the room. Meg called out twice, but there was still no sound. Meg had no choice but to push the door open and enter Zhao Hai's room.
As soon as she entered Zhao Hai's room, Meg heard the sound of even breathing. She tiptoed to Zhao Hai's bedside and took a look. Zhao Hai was sleeping soundly and didn't hear them at all.
Meg sighed. She didn't know if Zhao Hai was careless or stupid. At this point, he could still sleep so soundly.
Meg stood beside Zhao Hai's bed and gently pushed Zhao Hai, "Young Master, it's time to get up and eat dinner."
Zhao Hai woke up in a daze and muttered, "What time is it?"
Meg quickly said, "Young master, it's already seven o 'clock in the evening. It's time for dinner."
Zhao Hai opened his eyes and turned to look at Meg, who was standing beside the bed. He then turned to look outside the window and found that the sky was already dark. He slowly sat up and shook his somewhat dizzy head. Only then did he wake up a little. He turned to Meg and said, "Meg, what day is it today?"
Meg lowered her head and said, "Young master, today is April 6th."
Zhao Hai nodded and calculated in his mind. He fainted on February 17th, 1637 of the New Era, and it was already April 6th. In other words, he had been unconscious for more than a month. After being unconscious for more than a month, he could still move around freely. If this was on Earth, it would be a miracle.
However, Zhao Hai didn't ask Meg what was going on. This was because he knew from Adam's memories that the healing magic of magi on this continent was very miraculous. Let alone a month, even if you were unconscious for a year, it would still allow you to wake up as if you had just slept. You would be able to walk on the ground naturally without any signs of muscle atrophy.
Zhao Hai had just sat on the bedside when Meg immediately took Zhao Hai's boots and was about to put them on Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai immediately said, "Meg, put them down. I can do it myself."
Meg stared blankly for a moment, but still said, "Young master, let me do it. This is what I should do."
Zhao Hai wasn't used to this. He quickly stopped Meg and said, "Forget it. In the future, I'll do these kinds of small things myself." After saying that, he snatched the boots from Meg's hands and put them on himself.
Meg stared blankly at Zhao Hai from the side. She felt that today's Zhao Hai was very strange. In the past, let alone putting on boots, Zhao Hai wouldn't even take off his boots himself. Today, he actually put them on himself.
After putting on the boots, Zhao Hai stood up and turned to Meg, saying, "Let's go and eat first. I still have some things to discuss with Grandpa Green."
Although Meg felt that today's Zhao Hai was very strange, she still complied and led Zhao Hai towards the dining room. This was because Meg knew that after arriving here, Zhao Hai hadn't left his room. Therefore, he couldn't find the castle anywhere. If she let him walk by himself, he wouldn't know where the dining room was.
After leaving the room, Zhao Hai stared blankly. Then he curiously looked around. This castle was clearly an ancient castle. It had been built for a few years, but it looked quite sturdy. However, the style was very old, and the interior design wasn't as good as Adam's original home. It gave off a gloomy feeling.
However, Zhao Hai didn't care about this. He liked castles more like this. In his impression, castles should be like this. This was the style of an ancient castle. Who knows when he might find a secret room in this castle.
Soon, Zhao Hai also noticed the torches on the wall. Seeing these torches and thinking about the price of magic crystals, Zhao Hai immediately understood why torches were used here.
Although Adam didn't know the price of things before, he still knew the price of things like magic crystals. This was because these things were classified as high-end consumer goods. Only people belonging to Adam's class could afford them. Therefore, he knew the price.
Zhao Hai also thought about the magic lamp in his room. It seemed that it was the only magic lamp in the entire castle. Thinking of this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
The dining room wasn't far from Zhao Hai's bedroom. Soon, the two people entered the dining room. Green, Merlin, Rockhead, and Blockhead were standing in the dining room waiting for Zhao Hai. Seeing Zhao Hai enter, they all bowed and said, "Young Master, good night. Please have a meal."
Zhao Hai nodded and glanced at the dining room's wooden table. He discovered that only his tableware was placed there. Through Adam's memories, Zhao Hai knew that when nobles ate, servants couldn't sit with them. They could only stand to the side and wait upon them.
Zhao Hai sat down and sized up the dining room. This dining room wasn't big, only a bit more than twenty square meters. A long dining table was placed in the middle. The dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth. On the tablecloth were two candlesticks, each with three wax candles.
Eight chairs were placed around the dining table. The workmanship of these chairs was very fine. It could be seen that they were high quality goods. Every corner of the dining room had a torch, illuminating the entire dining room. But apart from these, there was nothing else in the dining room.
Zhao Hai finished sizing up the dining room. He turned to Green and the others and said, "Grandpa Green, you guys also sit down and eat. After eating, I have something to ask you."
Green immediately bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, this won't do. When you eat, we can't sit with you. This is the Empire's rule."
Zhao Hai snorted and said, "The Empire's rule isn't my rule. Since the Empire has given up on us, then why should we still respect the Empire's rule? Don't say anymore. You guys quickly go get the tableware and sit down to eat. While eating, I'll talk about some things. If you guys don't come, then I won't eat either."
Green looked at Zhao Hai's appearance and had no choice but to turn to glance at Merlin. Merlin glared at him and said, "What are you looking at me for? The Young Master hasn't eaten properly for over a month. Don't tell me you still want the Young Master to starve?"
Sure enough, to Green, Zhao Hai's body was more important than anything else. Hearing Merlin say this, he immediately turned his head and said, "Then you and Meg go get it from the kitchen. I'll wait on the Young Master here."
Merlin didn't say anything this time and led Meg away. Only then did Green sit down with Blockhead and Rockhead. Blockhead and Rockhead clearly weren't used to it. They sat there as if their butts had grown spikes. Moreover, it could be seen that the two of them were somewhat foolish and didn't know how to speak too well. After seeing Zhao Hai, they just followed Green and the others and said, "Good night, Young Master. Young Master, please eat." Afterwards, they didn't say a word.
Zhao Hai learned from Adam's memories that Blockhead and Rockhead were children his father had personally adopted. They weren't smart and could even be said to be very stupid. However, the two of them were gifted with innate divine strength. In addition, they'd learned the Wild Dragon Battle Qi. The two of them now had the strength of a sixth level warrior. Moreover, they were loyal and devoted to the Buda clan and absolutely wouldn't betray them.
When Merlin went to bring the food, Zhao Hai turned his head and said to Green, "Grandpa Green, how many gold coins do we have on hand right now?"
Green stared blankly. He didn't know what Zhao Hai meant by asking this, but he still immediately stood up and replied, "Young Master, we have 180 gold coins on hand right now. However, we don't lack any supplies right now, so these gold coins can all be used."
Zhao Hai hurriedly had Green sit down and continued, "Then when we came from the imperial capital, did we use a carriage to transport things from afar? What about the horses that pulled the carriage? "
Green said, "Young Master, our place is small and we don't have much production. Therefore, in order to conserve food, we only have five horses. When we came, the carriages we used were all hired."
Zhao Hai stared blankly for a moment, but he immediately understood Green's meaning. Green was trying to conserve as much as possible. It must be known that a good horse wasn't just fed grass. It had to be fed some food, and they simply couldn't produce much food here. Therefore, of course they would conserve as much as possible. It was even more impossible to raise horses.
