Chapter 524

After returning to his own courtyard, Zhao Hai sat in the living room and let out a long breath. When Laura saw Zhao Hai’s expression, she immediately poured him a cup of cocoa and said, ” “What’s wrong, big brother hai? You seem very tired? What did Smith say to you?”

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly. &Quot; he didn’t say anything and was very polite. However, I really feel tired dealing with them. It’s even more tiring than fighting a big battle. &Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Laura couldn’t help but smile and say, ” &Quot; of course it’s more tiring than a big battle. Anyway, during the battle, you’ll be sitting in the back and commanding. You’re not tired at all. &Quot;

Zhao Hai rolled his eyes at Laura, causing her to laugh out loud. At this moment, melgen also walked in from outside. As soon as she entered the living room, she looked at Zhao Hai with a smile and said, ” “Big brother hai, it seems like big Uncle and the others have a good impression of you. That’s great. With Big Uncle and the others” support, we’ll be able to do things much more smoothly in the future.”

Zhao Hai smiled, ” it’s not that good. When I was having dinner with my uncle today, I realized that they didn’t talk about family matters at all. They were just chatting about their daily lives. This shows that they are still enemies. If they help us too much at this time, they will only help our eldest uncle. I don’t think they would do something like that. You should give up. &Quot;

Melgen sighed when she heard what Zhao Hai said. She did not say anything else. She knew that Zhao Hai was telling the truth. Her uncle and the others were still friendly to her family now. However, if they really wanted to fight for a big position, they would not be polite. &Nbsp;

Zhao Hai looked at melgen and comforted her, ” “Well, it’s okay. You don’t have to think too much. I think uncle and the others are people who know the severity of the situation. Uncle also told me that the karci family has their own set of monitoring means. This way, nothing too big will happen. You don’t have to worry.”

Melgen nodded, but it was obvious that she was still not very happy. Zhao Hai had no choice. This kind of fight for the throne could happen in any family.

Zhao Hai thought for a moment and changed the topic, ” we’ll send the seafood to Grandpa gan in a bit. The festival is in two days. I think we should go to the city and have some fun. Carson City has all the goods in the world. Now that the festival is coming, there must be more goods. We must go shopping and buy some good things. &Quot;

Melgen looked at Zhao Xiangdong and said with a smile, &Quot; that’s good. We’ll go to the city tomorrow. What do you want to buy, big brother hai? ”

Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I haven’t thought about it yet. I just want to take a look and see if there’s anything good that I can buy. Take me to the slave market tomorrow. Don’t you think we should buy some slaves in the near future? ”

Melgen nodded and said, ” that’s right. But brother hai, can we buy slaves now? ” Don’t forget, after the new year, there will be 100000 orc slaves coming to the black soil wasteland.”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, ” don’t worry, of course I didn’t forget. However, those orc slaves don’t know how to farm, but the slaves released by humans do. After buying the human slaves, they can be handed over to the orc slaves to farm. Furthermore, the human slaves mostly build simple houses. The orcs are used to living in tents, so there are many differences in their living habits. So, it is still good for us to buy some human slaves. &Quot;

Melgen nodded. &Quot; okay, but the slave market isn’t in the city, but outside. I think we should go after the festival. During the festival, the slave market is the most crowded. We should wait until there are fewer people. &Quot;

“Why are there so many people at this time?” Zhao Hai asked, stunned. If there are too many people and we’re late, won’t the good slaves be picked by others?”

Melgen said with a smile, ” during festivals, many big families will be too busy to cope. They will find some decent slaves and ask them to come to the manor to help. If these slaves do a good job, their lives will be better in the future. In addition, in this year, many slaves died of illness or exhaustion. Most families will take this opportunity to buy some new slaves. Don’t worry, brother hai. There are many slaves in the slave market. They can choose from all of them. &Quot;

“Where did all these slaves come from? why are there so many of them?” Zhao Hai asked with a frown.

Laura smiled and said, ” brother hai, you don’t know. Some of these slaves are civilians who can’t pay taxes. They can’t return the money they borrowed, so they were bought as slaves. Some of them have been slaves for generations. When their children grow up, or when the old slaves can’t do much work, they will be sold. So, there has never been a lack of slaves on the continent. &Quot;

Zhao Hai sighed and didn’t say anything. He knew that this was the current situation on the continent. With his current ability, he couldn’t change it. He could only do his best to help those who could.

Melgen also knew what Zhao Hai was thinking. When she first saw Zhao Hai turn so many slaves back into civilians, she was also very surprised. However, she was also a kind person. After listening to Meg’s explanation, she immediately understood what Zhao Hai was thinking. She agreed with Zhao Hai’s way of doing things. Now that she saw that Zhao Hai was unhappy, she immediately changed the topic, &Quot; brother hai, let’s go and deliver some seafood to Grandpa gan so that he can be prepared. &Quot;

Zhao Hai nodded and stood up. Laura and the others also stood up and said with a smile, ” “Let’s go too. We’ll have a good look at what the dark Soldier fortress looks like and see how it’s different from our Iron Mountain fortress.”

Melgen smiled. &Quot; sure, but there are some places in the dark Soldier Fort that are off-limits to people. However, there are other places that you can visit. Come, I’ll bring you there. &Quot; After saying that, Laura and the others left. Zhao Hai could only follow them with a bitter smile.

A servant came to greet them as soon as they went out. Melgen asked the servant to take them to see gan. Gan had a special status in the mansion. Even Randolf respected him. He would scold people he didn’t like and never be polite to them. Although he had a bad temper, he was good to his servants. Therefore, the servants in the mansion were very respectful to him. If he really made a mistake and was scolded by gan, they wouldn’t bear a grudge.

Zhao Hai and the others found gan in no time. Gan was in the kitchen. It was almost God’s grace day. A place like the dark Soldier fortress had to store a large amount of ingredients because there would always be banquets and such. It would be embarrassing if there were not enough ingredients.

Gan was currently inspecting the kitchen Warehouse. He had to do the same thing every year, so he didn’t show any impatience. Instead, he inspected the warehouse very carefully.

When Zhao Hai entered the warehouse, he was stunned. There were many things in the warehouse. Some of the ingredients were ingredients that he had never seen before. They were all placed in different categories.

At that moment, the servant walked to gan’s side and said something. Gan was taken aback and turned around. It was really Zhao Hai and the others. Gan had a good impression of Zhao Hai, so he quickly walked over and laughed.”Little hai, little melgen, why did you come here? Do you want to see what’s good to eat? Don’t worry, if there’s really good food, I won’t forget you guys.”

Melgen ran to gan’s side and hugged his arm. &Quot; &Quot; Grandpa gan, brother hai is here to give you something. You’ll regret it if you don’t accept it. &Quot;

Gan Yi was taken aback. He then turned to Zhao Hai and said,”Little hai still has good stuff? What was that? Let’s take a look?”

Zhao Hai smiled. With a wave of his hand, a large pile of things appeared in the yard. Just swordfish and crabs alone were standing in many places. These things were not small.

Zhao Hai had asked Cai ‘er to train them, and they were a few times bigger than the ones he had seen in the sea.

Gan Yi was very surprised when he saw these things. Then, his eyes lit up. These were good things, especially the swordfish and large crabs. They were very rare on the continent now. Even if they did, they wouldn’t be this big. If these things were made into dishes and taken out during the banquet, it would definitely shock the people who came to the banquet.

Over these years, there were no new ingredients in the banquet. They just ate the same food. Therefore, with these new ingredients, the banquet of the karci clan must be very colorful.

The things that Zhao Hai took out were all dead and frozen. However, it was not a big deal. For people like them, every house was a cold storage. They used large magic arrays to cool things down. They could be used to freeze things or to freeze things to cool down in the summer.

After watching for a while, gan turned to Zhao Hai and laughed, ” “Good boy, you really have some good stuff. Good, with these things, our Buda family’s banquet this year will definitely be the most spectacular. Not bad, really not bad.”

Melgen looked at gan and said with a smile, ” “Grandpa gan, I told you that brother hai had some good things. Hurry, have someone put them away; otherwise, they would melt in a short while. Let’s go. Laura and the other guys said they wanted to take a look around.”

Gan didn’t stop him and just nodded, ” “Go, go. Little hai, what are you doing with a bunch of girls? come with me, let’s have a good drink.”

Zhao Hai quickly responded and stayed behind. Melgen and the rest left while talking and laughing. Gan didn’t stand on ceremony with Zhao Hai and brought him to the kitchen. He asked the cook to prepare two side dishes and a pot of wine. He sat down and drank with Zhao Hai.

When Zhao Hai was on earth, he would often have a small drink with his old friends. They would not drink too much and would just chat while drinking. It was a good feeling. However, ever since he came to the ark continent, he had not had such an opportunity. Now that gan Yi had done this, Zhao Hai felt quite warm.

Gan and Zhao Hai were eating side dishes and drinking wine leisurely. Gan was the busiest chief during festivals, but he was an exception. He usually handed things over to his subordinates. He was only responsible for checking, so he wasn’t very busy. In addition, the servants in the manor were usually children of the family, so he didn’t have to worry too much. This was why he looked so relaxed.
