Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, meg said anxiously, ” &Quot; young master, should we go and find Princess ruien? what if something happens to her now that she’s in the hands of those people? ”
Zhao Hai nodded and released Eagle. He handed the evil spirit staff to Eagle and asked him to look for Ryan. The small city they were in was not big. At most, it could accommodate 50000 people. After circling around, Eagle realized that the mercenaries had already left the city.
The Eagle then flew out of the city. Zhao Hai ordered the Eagle to fly straight in the direction of Carson City. He believed that the mercenaries would definitely bring Ryan and the rest to Carson City. Furthermore, a few of them were injured, so they would not be able to go far.
Just as Zhao Hai had expected, the mercenaries seemed to be well prepared. They had prepared 10 large carts and were now heading towards Carson City. Zhao Hai immediately led Laura and the others into the realm. He then retrieved the evil spirit staff and sent it to the hotel. After that, they appeared in front of the mercenaries and waited for them.
The mercenaries knew that this time, the enemy was too strong to deal with. They wanted to move forward quickly and find more helpers to deal with Zhao Hai and the others.
As they were hurrying on, the road in front of them was suddenly blocked. The ones blocking them were two stone giants. When these two huge guys, who were more than seven meters tall, stood on the road, they really gave people a great sense of oppression.
When the mercenaries saw the two stone giants, they knew that Zhao Hai and the others had arrived. The information they had received said that Zhao Hai was a Tri-elemental magician, so they immediately stopped and a few mercenaries dragged Ryan and the others over.
The leader of the mercenaries who wanted to touch Lola’s face looked at Zhao Hai, who was standing not far behind the stone giant, and said, ” “Weyers, it’s best for you to surrender obediently. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite. This must be the princess of the Duchy of Versailles. You are also from the Versailles Duchy, right? If something happens to the princess, you won’t be able to handle it, right?”
Zhao Hai looked at the mercenary and smiled, ” “It seems that you’ve investigated me? Then have you found out that I don’t have any relatives in the Duchy of Versailles? I’ve come to the Roson Empire to settle down here, and I don’t intend to return to the Duchy of Versailles. Even if you kill this Princess, nothing will happen to me. The Duchy of Versailles is only a small Duchy, and it’s impossible for it to extend its hands into the Roson Empire. You’re using this Princess to threaten me? Hahahaha, this is too funny.”
The leader was stunned and his expression changed. He didn’t expect Zhao Hai to be so ruthless. He didn’t care about Ryan’s life at all. The leader didn’t know if Zhao Hai was telling the truth or not. He said immediately,”Don’t lie to me. Surrender obediently. Otherwise, I’ll kill them right now.”
Zhao Hai said calmly, ” &Quot; go ahead and kill her, I won’t stop you. I’ve been annoyed by this Princess for the past few days. If you kill her, I’ll be able to relax. However, I’ve promised Grand Duke Versailles that I’ll send her to Carson City. If you kill her, you’ll break my promise to Grand Duke Versailles. I won’t forgive those who break my promise, so all of you have to die. Not only will I kill you, but I’ll also find a black magician to turn you into high-level undead creatures and ask where your home is. &Quot; I want your entire family to be buried!”
Hearing Zhao Hai’s cold voice, the mercenaries couldn’t help but shiver. They didn’t doubt Zhao Hai’s words at all. Some people were like this. They would never be threatened by anything. If you dared to threaten them, they would fight you to the death. This was the kind of person that the mercenaries didn’t want to meet the most because this kind of person was even more ruthless than them.
The mercenaries looked at each other and didn’t know what to do. Let’s fight. They couldn’t beat Zhao Hai, and using hostages to threaten him wouldn’t work either. Just as they were at a loss, Zhao Hai suddenly had an idea. Four Vines shot out from under the four mercenaries who were holding Ryan and the others like venomous snakes. They impaled the four mercenaries to death, and Ryan and the others fell to the ground.
The mercenaries finally reacted. However, the ground beneath Ryan and the others caved in, trapping them within. The mercenaries missed their target. The stone golems immediately launched their attacks. At the same time, Zhao Hai’s spells rained down on the mercenaries. The mercenaries had no chance to resist and were killed immediately. At this moment, the ground in front of Zhao Hai trembled, and Ryan and the other three appeared on the ground.
Zhao Hai had said that on purpose to make the mercenaries lose their focus. As soon as they lost their focus, Zhao Hai would immediately attack. First, Cai would use his vines to kill the mercenaries. Then, he would use earth magic to transport Ryan and the others to him. That way, Ryan and the others would not be injured.
Zhao Hai didn’t even bother to turn these mercenaries into undead creatures. They were too ruthless. In Zhao Hai’s eyes, turning them into undead creatures was already letting them off easy. He would just kill them.
After killing the mercenaries, Zhao Hai and the others didn’t bother with the carriages. They returned to the hotel in a flash and brought Ryan and the others to their rooms.
Ruian and the others were the same as those guards. They had also been poisoned and were unconscious. However, those people might have seen that they were people with some status, so they didn’t kill them but kept them alive.
Zhao Hai and the others had just returned to their rooms when there was a knock on the door. Xu Wanying immediately grabbed his axe and said, ” “Who is it?”
&Quot; Sir, we’re here to deliver your food, ” the waiter said. &Quot; the food you ordered is ready. &Quot;
Xu Wanying glanced at Zhao Hai, who nodded. Xu Wanying opened the door and the waiter bowed to him. He was followed by a group of people. Two of them were carrying a table, a few were carrying chairs, and a few were pushing food trucks with covered plates.
These people got busy as soon as they entered the room. It was obvious that they had been trained. They set up the tables and chairs. Finally, they placed the plates and utensils on the table and left. Zhao Hai asked Xu Wanying to tip them before they sat down.
Zhao Hai looked at them and smiled, ” &Quot; let’s eat. It’s not easy to have a meal. So many things have happened. &Quot;
Laura and the others all laughed. To be honest, they had long expected such an attack. However, they had not expected the enemy to be so ruthless this time, killing all the guards in one go.
It was because of this that their hearts were a little heavy. Zhao Hai could see this, so he said that. With this smile, their mood became much better.
Zhao Hai had just put a mouthful of food into his mouth when the space’s voice immediately rang, ” &Quot; the poisonous substance has entered the host’s body. The content of the poison is light and can cause a person to faint temporarily. The host has been consuming space water for a long time and is immune to this poison. There is no need to drink space water to detoxify the poison. &Quot;
Zhao Hai was taken aback, and his expression changed. He raised his head and said, ” &Quot; stop, everyone, stop eating. These things are poisonous. It seems that there’s something wrong with this shop. &Quot;
Laura and the others were stunned. They had never thought that there would be a problem with this store. They put down their knives and forks. Laura looked at Zhao Hai in confusion and asked, ” “Why is there a problem with this shop? Even if Duke Ryan knew that we were going to rest in this city, he wouldn’t know that we were resting in that shop. What’s going on?”
&Quot; it seems like we’ve underestimated Duke Ryan’s strength, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; hehe, I didn’t expect that the mercenaries were just trying to attract our attention. &Quot;
Xu Wanying nodded and said, ” it seems so. Those mercenaries are trying to distract us and make us think that there’s nothing wrong with the people in the shop. That way, they can attack us. Princess ruien and the others might have been poisoned by drinking the water in the shop. Although we checked the food and the wine, we didn’t find any problems. However, the people in the shop changed the wine and the wine in advance. &Quot;
