Chapter 371: A Dose of Sleeping Pill
The reason why these mages from the Church of Light had different thoughts compared to Ryan was that they recognized Zhao Hai's outfit!
Who are the enemies of the Church of Light? Naturally, they are dark mages, and recently, the person who has been the greatest foe of the Church of Light is the dark mage, which undoubtedly refers to Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai had ruined many of their plans and killed quite a few of their members, so within the Church of Light, he had become a notorious figure. His appearance and attire had been documented, and even his usual weapons and magic had been roughly recorded. Thus, when these mages saw Zhao Hai's outfit, they immediately thought of his identity.
The Earth Mage among them had the highest status, and he glanced at Zhao Hai, coldly saying, "Zhao Hai, how dare you appear here? Does that mean you've been following us all along?"
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled slightly, saying, "That's right, I have been following you. Not only that, but I've also recorded the names of everyone who has been in contact with you along the way, and I plan to find the time to settle accounts with them one by one."
The Earth Mage's eyes flashed with cold light. He understood very clearly what those people meant to the Church of Light; they were their eyes and ears in the Roson Empire, as well as the seeds they had planted there. If those people were discovered, then the Church of Light's power in the Roson Empire would be swept away, and their years of planning would be in vain.
The other mages also looked at Zhao Hai with frost in their eyes. They certainly understood what Zhao Hai's words represented, while Ryan was standing there in a daze, genuinely unsure of who Zhao Hai was.
Zhao Hai's grievances with the Church of Light started in the Versailles Principality, and previously, Ryan was the financial minister of the Roson Empire, a position much higher than Ivan's. How could he pay attention to the events occurring in that insignificant place? Thus, he really didn’t know who Zhao Hai was.
However, he also noticed that Zhao Hai did not seem to be a member of the Karlqi family. If he were, they would have discovered them long ago and would not have waited until they boarded the ship to take action.
The Earth Mage did not say anything further and simply barked, "Go! Take him down!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but laugh heartily, saying, "You still want to take me down? How ridiculous! You should think about how to deal with them instead." With that, he waved his hand, and a large number of undead beings appeared on the ship.
This time, among the undead beings Zhao Hai released, a significant portion were mages, and their attacking power was not low. What was even more infuriating was that Zhao Hai also released those few mages from the Church of Light, letting them use light magic to attack the other mages.
Although the undead beings Zhao Hai released were only equivalent to seventh-level mages, their sheer numbers were overwhelming. Zhao Hai now had no fewer than twenty mages on his side, and twenty seventh-level mages could easily handle six eighth-level mages.
Zhao Hai didn’t stop at just releasing these mages; he also summoned a large number of warriors and orcs. In almost an instant, the undead beings he summoned filled the Sea God, leaving those on the ship with no place to escape.
After doing all this, Zhao Hai’s figure disappeared from the ship, making it impossible for the mages to find trouble with him. Seeing the situation, the Earth Mage immediately took out several magic scrolls from his body, tearing them open and throwing them out.
These scrolls were all light magic scrolls, prepared for use when they encountered dark mages. It should be known that this time they came to support Ryan, and the enemy they had to face was the Karlqi family, which was a dark mage family. To be cautious, they had brought several light magic scrolls, but they didn't expect to use them only upon reaching the ship.
