Chapter 371: Retreat (1)
Translator: 549690339
Zhao Hai stood quietly in the lobby of the hotel. He had never expected that Sheila hotel would do such a thing. They were really protective of their hotel guests.
Zhao Hai took a deep breath and walked out calmly. As soon as he reached the door, Zhao Hai saw at least a thousand cavalrymen surrounding the hotel. The leader of the cavalrymen was about two meters tall. He was wearing steel armor and had a tower shield on his back. He had a two-handed sword at his waist and a spear on the saddle. A small triangular flag was hanging on the tip of the spear, fluttering in the wind. It looked very cool.
His Mount was very special. Although it was a horse, it was very tall. It was nearly four meters tall, black all over, and had two curved horns on its head. Its eyes were blood-red, which looked very scary.
Zhao Hai remembered seeing this type of magical beast in the magical beast record. It was a fifth-grade horse-shaped magical beast with a very simple name, magical horse! It is of the dark element and can grow up to six meters tall. It has shocking divine power and can use the blood magic, the blood devouring spell, the dark magic, the weakening spell, the delaying spell, and the confusion spell. It is very difficult to subdue.
Zhao Hai also noticed that the saddle of the cavalryman was specially designed. There were two stools on each side of the saddle, allowing people to grab the stools and Mount the horse.
The moment Zhao Hai came out, the Knight had noticed him. However, he didn’t put Zhao Hai in his eyes at all. For him, Zhao Hai was just a tool, a tool used to cause trouble for Sheila hotel. Even if it was not Zhao Hai, he would have done the same thing.
He had no grudges with the people who stayed here, but he had grudges with the hotel. What he needed was just an excuse. As for who was the excuse, it had nothing to do with him.
However, he might regret it soon because he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have. He thought that the other party was a chess piece that could be used and discarded at will. However, when he touched the chess piece, he realized that it was not a chess piece, but a thorny ball that could stab people at any time.
Zhao Hai looked at the cavalryman and said,”I heard that this Lord is looking for me?” May I know what the matter is?”
&Quot; you’re Weyers, ” the Knight said. &Quot; we suspect you’re a spy. Come with us. &Quot; The Knight knew Sheila hotel very well. He knew that the hotel would not let them take someone away so easily. This gave him a reason to deal with the hotel. As for the guest ... He had completely ignored him.
Zhao Hai looked at the Knight and smiled, ” “I am a noble of the Arkas Empire. What evidence do you have to prove that I am a spy? If not, then can I suspect that the Roson Empire is insulting the nobles of the Arkas Empire? That will cause a diplomatic dispute.”
The Knight didn’t care about Zhao Hai’s words at all. He shouted, &Quot; stop talking. Once you’re in the Rosen Empire, you have to follow the rules of the Rosen Empire and come with us obediently. Otherwise, you won’t have a good time. &Quot;
Just as the staff from Sheila hotel was about to speak, Zhao Hai’s expression darkened and he said, ” &Quot; this Sir Knight is so impressive. It’s a pity that you’ve offended someone you shouldn’t have. &Quot; Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, the cavalryman couldn’t help but look at Zhao Hai. He didn’t see anything special about Zhao Hai.
At that moment, Zhao Hai waved the staff in his hand, and stone giants emerged from the ground one after another. There were as many as twenty of them.
The Knight’s expression changed when he saw this. He did not expect Zhao Hai to be a magician, and not a low-level one at that. It was amazing that he could summon so many stone golems at once without chanting.
The Knight grabbed his spear and a tower shield appeared in his hand. At the same time, he shouted, ” “Prepare to face the enemy. Gather the formation and retreat slowly.”
The Knights behind him were obviously trained soldiers. They quickly did the same thing as the Knight and then controlled their mounts to slowly retreat. They were ready to retreat a distance to open up a space for a charge. Heavy cavalry like them only had great power when they charged. If they stood still and fought with others, they would lose at least 50% of their combat power.
Zhao Hai held the staff in his hand and said softly, ” “Bind!” A wind binding spell was cast and wrapped around the feet of the Knights ‘mounts, causing them to feel extremely uncomfortable. Their speed of retreat naturally slowed down.
The leading Knight’s face turned even uglier. He was a veteran who had experienced hundreds of battles. He knew very well that Zhao Hai had just used wind magic. A dual-element magician would be welcomed no matter where he went. He was not someone that a small Knight like him could afford to offend.
However, this wasn’t the end. Zhao Hai held his staff and said in a deep voice, ” “Surround!” The Knight who was retreating was suddenly surrounded by a huge Ring of Fire. The Ring of Fire seemed to have come alive out of thin air. The flames were more than a meter high, and it was very scary.
Most magical beasts were afraid of fire, and only some fire-elemental magical beasts were not afraid of it. When the fire appeared, it indeed made the Knights ‘magical beasts cower and not move forward. However, these Knights’ mounts were all trained. With the help of their Masters, they quickly stabilized. However, the expression of the leader of the Knights became even more unsightly, because he realized that he had offended a three-elemental mage.
Zhao Hai looked at the cavalrymen coldly and said, ” “Stop. If you continue, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The leader of the Knights knew that Zhao Hai was right. If Zhao Hai really wanted to kill them, he wouldn’t have trapped them here. Instead, he would have ordered the stone giants to attack them.
The leader of the Knights stopped and bowed to Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; Sir, please forgive me for my previous offense. This matter is purely a misunderstanding. Someone gave me false information. Please forgive me. &Quot;
Zhao Hai looked at the leader of the Knights and said,”Alright, since you put it that way, I won’t make things difficult for you. I just don’t like to be disturbed. You can go.” With that, he waved his hand, and the stone giant, wind bind, and fire ring all disappeared.
The leader of the Knights let out a sigh of relief as he saw Zhao Hai accepting the items. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said,”Thank you, sir. We’ll take our leave.” After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and left with the Knights.
It was not that Zhao Hai did not want to teach these Knights a lesson, but he knew very well that now was not the time. They were in the Roson Empire, and they were from the Arkas Empire. If they really got into a conflict with those Knights, the Roson Empire would not let them off.
However, he also knew that the other party’s main target was Sheila hotel, not him. Naturally, he would not have a conflict with the magician.
After the Knights left, the person in charge of Sheila’s hotel immediately walked to Zhao Hai and bowed. &Quot; &Quot; Thank you, sir. It’s our fault for disturbing you. Please take the money as our apology. &Quot;
&Quot; you’re welcome, manager, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; I’m on good terms with your hotel, and I have some business dealings with manager Elin of sartu city. We can be considered friends. &Quot;
The manager of Sheila hotel was stunned when he heard Zhao Hai’s words. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and immediately said happily, ” &Quot; so, you are the Mr. Wells that Saleen mentioned. I apologize for my lack of manners. Please, Sir. &Quot; Then, he invited Zhao Hai into the hotel.
After inviting Zhao Hai to the restaurant and finding a high-class private room to sit down, the store manager immediately said, ” &Quot; Mr. Wells, let me introduce myself first. My name is defian, and I’m the person in charge of Cheryl hotel’s branch in the hundred battle fortress. I’ve received news from Elin a few days ago that we’re currently working with Wells. However, we’ve encountered some issues here recently, so I didn’t pay attention to you. Please forgive me. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; you’re welcome, manager defian. I’m just passing by. There’s nothing special about me. Please don’t mind me. &Quot;
Defian laughed. &Quot; no matter what, we’ve been rude. The last time Elin sent a letter, he asked us to pay attention to you and told us that as long as you stay in Sheila’s hotel, we can’t charge you any fees. Hehe, I’ve been so busy recently that I didn’t even know you were coming. I have to thank those cavalrymen. If Elin knew that I took your money, he wouldn’t let me off. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; you’re too kind, Mr. Elin. We’re heading to Carson City tomorrow. There’s no need to go through all the trouble. &Quot;
Defian said with an apologetic expression, ” &Quot; Mr. Wells, I’m afraid this matter is a little troublesome. A powerful figure in the Roson Empire is looking for trouble with us. Today, you’ve offended the cavalry, and they might take revenge on you. The person who wants to deal with us is very powerful in the Roson Empire. I’m afraid he won’t let you off. He might bring you a lot of trouble. Please forgive him. &Quot;
“You’re talking about Grand Duke Ryan, right?” Zhao Hai smiled. Don’t worry, we’re mentally prepared. Nothing will happen. Alright, Mr. Defian, I’ll go back to rest first. We still have to travel tomorrow.” After saying that, he stood up and left, ignoring the dazed defian.
Defian did not expect Zhao Hai to know that the one who was causing trouble for them was Duke Ryan. This made defian feel that Zhao Hai was an enigma.
Ethan had investigated Zhao Hai before. He knew that Zhao Hai had never been to the Roson Empire before, so how did he find out about the conflict between them and Duke Ryan less than a day after he arrived at the hundred battle fortress? Could it be that he had his own network in the Roson Empire?
Defian felt that he should inform his family about this. Although Yi Lin had investigated Zhao Hai before, he had too little information. Zhao Hai’s background was extremely mysterious, but he could be sure that he had an inexplicable connection with the Versailles family. From the looks of it now, it did not seem to be the case. At the very least, with the power of the Versailles family, they did not have the ability to extend their hands into the Rosen Empire.
