Chapter 614: Arrogance? Strength!
To be honest, although there was an antagonistic relationship, Zhao Hai had great admiration for the divine race. Their ability to lay such a long-term trap showed incredible patience.
However, Zhao Hai also realized that he needed to pay more attention to the divine race. A race that could turn the Ark Continent upside down purely through a church was truly formidable, and he had to be cautious.
Laura snorted and said, “Brother Hai, what should we do next? Should we directly destroy the sea dragon clan and then go find trouble with the dragon clan at Aklaya Mountain?” It seemed that Zhao Hai was one of the few on the entire continent who could say such things. Who would dare to provoke the dragon clan, known to be invincible?
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "No rush. Let's first deal with the sea dragon clan, then head to Flame Island to see what's going on there and hopefully gain some benefits. After that, we can tackle the dragon clan. They are indeed a powerful war clan, so we must be prepared. By the way, Laura, now that you're a ninth-level expert, how about we find you a dragon as a mount when we go to Aklaya Mountain?”
Laura huffed, “I don't want that. Now that the Blood Eagle has reached ninth-level, why would I want those clumsy dragons? The Blood Eagle is already a better mount.”
Zhao Hai and the others laughed. If others on the continent heard Laura's words, they would surely be in stitches. She rejected a dragon as a mount! How arrogant! However, they indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
After a while, they calmed down. Meigen turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, you’ll be starting to summon undead beings tomorrow, right? The undead beings you summon now are all ninth-level. Won’t they suspect something?”
Zhao Hai nodded, “This is indeed a bit tricky. We can have those undead beings fight like regular magical beasts and get injured or even die—of course, it will be a feigned death. Once they reach a certain degree of injury, we’ll have them return to the space. This way, we can cover our tracks. Besides, as you heard from the Lady King, the undead beings I summon are known for their formidable combat power. I believe they won’t suspect too much.”
Lily nodded, “I just heard from the Lady King that she is sincere about forming an alliance with us. In that case, the stronger Brother Hai becomes, the more beneficial it is for them. I don't think they would spill anything.”
Zhao Hai smiled, “Actually, we don’t need to be too careful with the sea tribe. Although the sea tribe has the Sea God Merchant Association to interact with people on the continent, they have always been very mysterious and rarely contact other forces on the continent. So, what they say will likely be believed by very few. Moreover, I believe they won’t share anything. As for the other sea tribes, they don’t have contact with the human race at all, so what we do here will remain unknown to them.”
Lily shook her head, “We still need to be cautious. Even if the sea tribe people don’t talk, what about the defeated sea dragon clan? If they demand to inform the dragon clan, we will still be exposed.”
Laura also nodded, “Yes, Brother Hai, it’s better to be careful.” Zhao Hai nodded in agreement. He didn’t say anything further, and neither did Laura and the others. They just said goodbye to Zhao Hai and entered the space to handle their respective tasks.
Although the mermaid Lady King did not invite Zhao Hai to a meal, when mealtime arrived, they still sent a table full of delicious seafood to Zhao Hai and his companions, far exceeding what they had previously eaten, allowing them to indulge.
The next morning, after having breakfast sent by Lola, she informed them that the Lady King had summoned them. Zhao Hai and the others followed Lola to the hall where the Lady King resided.
The Lady King sat there waiting for Zhao Hai, and she couldn’t help but smile, saying, “You’ve come, sir. Please take a seat.” Zhao Hai then noticed that several chairs had been set up in the hall, seemingly prepared specifically for them.
