Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 605

Chapter 605 – Wind Bead

Although he knew that the wind ball that Bubble just told him about was a good thing, Zhao Hai didn't immediately go out and get it. He calmed his emotions as he started to looked at the white crystals that Bubble described.

The white crystals weren't hard to find, there were 12 lodes on the previous mounds that Bubble just hollowed out. Zhao Hai didn't think that those 12 lodes would be on the 12 mounds around the ice pillar. It seems like these lodes did have a  big relationship with Bubble.

After he thought about it, Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel happy. He understood that as long as he has Bubble, he would have a lot of crystals to use. This was really fantastic.

Although he was pondering about these, Zhao Hai's movement didn't slow down. He quickly received the white crystals into the Space to see what properties they had.

When the crystal was absorbed into the Space, a prompt was heard, "Item that contained cold energy has been detected. Contains stable cold energy equivalent to 100 thousand watts. The crystal can be charged after it has been used up."

Zhao Hai couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this. But he also discovered the difference between this white crystal and the red one. The white crystal contained cold energy while the red crystal contained hot energy.

Zhao Hai thought about it and decided to appropriately name the red one Fire Crystal and the white one Ice Crystal. This was because the red crystal was found in a volcano while the white crystal was grown in the Icefield.

Zhao Hai quickly received the 12 mineral lodes. The amount of white crystal that Zhao Hai just got wasn't as small as the red crystals. After all, the red crystals were only sourced by an incomplete mother ore while the white crystals had 12 complete ones.

From what Zhao Hai can count, he had collected 500 thousand ice crystals altogether. This wasn't a small number. One must know that the quality of these white crystals are vastly better than the fire crystals.

After receiving the crystals, Zhao Hai then returned to the Space. Laura and the others were currently gathering around a spinning Bubble. Bubble looked very comfortable; he was blue, he was soft to hold and wasn't cold at all.

However, when Zhao Hai saw Laura and the others gathering before Bubble, looking like they were enjoying themselves, he couldn't help but feel irritated. For such a perverted Bubble to get this much attention was very unreasonable.

Zhao Hai grabbed Bubble who was held by Laura, he stretched the blue ball out before asking, "Bubble, where did you say that wind ball was again?"

Although Bubble was stretched out by Zhao Hai many times, he seemed to not care at all. So when Zhao Hai asked him, he immediately replied, "When Young Master heads to the north, you would be able to see it for yourself."

Zhao Hai nodded, he returned Bubble to Laura's arms before he immediately had the staff fly straight to the North. He wanted to see what this wind ball actually was.

Zhao Hai didn't explore around this time, he didn't slow down as he headed in a completely straight line heading north. Because of this, the staff's speed was extremely quick.

In the evening, Zhao Hai had found out that the wind has gotten much stronger. Zhao Hai immediately took Bubble out of the Space and went inside the staff.

Zhao Hai looked outside and said, "Bubble, is it this place?"

Bubble turned and circled before saying, "Yes, Young Master. We'll arrive there soon."

Then Zhao Hai turned to Bubble and said, "Bubble, how did you know that there is a wind ball here? And what is that wind ball?"

Bubble replied, "Young Master, I've been here for a long time, even before the Beastmen started exploring the area. At that time, I had the ice beasts explore the entire icefield and saw that ball of wind. That ball of wind is just like me, it is the origin of myriad wind. But it probably hasn't reached the same level as me. When I found it, it still hasn't awakened."

Zhao Hai was shocked, he didn't think that the ball of wind would actually be like Bubble. So in other words, the ball of wind might have its own spirit as well?

Zhao Hai was now much more careful, he personally controlled the Blood Ghost Staff. At the same time he asked, "Bubble, this isn't the wrong direction, right?"

Bubble shook its head and said, "It shouldn't be. Don't worry, Young Master. Compared to the past, my present ability is much better. As long as there is water element in the area, I would be able to monitor it. The place should not be far away from here."

Hearing Bubble's words, Zhao Hai couldn't help but get startled. He looked at Bubble and said, "So you're saying that you can monitor things through water?"

Bubble's round body shook up and down, as if nodding, then said, "Young Master, I am the source of myriad water. As long as it has something to do with water, it will submit to my will."

Zhao Hai looked at this small bubble, he didn't think that this little thing would have such an ability. It seems like he shouldn't look down on it.

At this time, Bubble suddenly said, "Young Master, we've arrived." Zhao Hai immediately turned his head and looked out only to see a small whirlwind in front of him that was constantly turning around. This whirlwind seem to be supporting a small green bead. This bead was at the very least at the size of a walnut. It couldn't be called a ball at all.

Zhao Hai looked at the green bead and said, "Is this the ball of wind that you said? Can it really control the wind? Why does it look so underwhelming?"

Bubble replied, "Young Master, this ball might seem to be behaved, but if it gets angry, it's very terrifying."

Zhao Hai looked at the green bead, he really couldn't imagine how this bead could be so frightening. But to be sure, Zhao Hai and Bubble returned to the Space. Laura and the others were already inside the Space, looking at the situation through the monitor.

When the group saw Zhao Hai came in, Laura immediately ran over and hugged Bubble. Then she turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Brother Hai, would you really take that thing? Can it really control the wind?"

Zhao Hai looked at the snuggled Bubble in Laura's bosom and couldn't help but get irritated, he poked Bubble repeatedly before Laura swept his hand away while staring at him with fierce eyes.

Zhao Hai couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Perhaps. In any case, it was what Bubble said so I don't really know. I'll go try and capture it." Then Zhao Hai sat on the sofa and gave an order to the staff.

The halted Blood Ghost Staff immediately flew towards the bead while Zhao Hai and the others looked at it through the screen. Zhao Hai wanted to see how the bead would react.

Sensing that the staff was about to hit it, the bead immediately acted like a hedgehog. It spun quickly and as it turned it collected more and more wind. Before long the wind had gotten bigger that it had turned into a tornado. The ice below couldn't handle the strong winds and got dug up, causing a pit to form on the ground.

The Blood Ghost Staff was actually affected by the wind, making it unable to go any further. Zhao Hai was shocked before he took the staff back to the Space. Laura and the others couldn't help but be surprised at the small bead. They didn't think that it would be this powerful.

After some time, the wind stopped as the tornado became small. Then it seemed to rock back and forth as if it was looking for something.

Zhao Hai cannot help but wipe away his sweat. This little thing was really a trickster. Zhao Hai didn't become polite, with an intention, a spatial crack suddenly appeared right beside the bead. Then a big hand stretched out from the Space and pulled the bead inside.

When the bead entered the Space, a prompt was then issued, "Wind Spirit has been detected. Lifeform is hostile to the Space. Suppressing the lifeform. Lifeform suppressed."

Then Zhao Hai had the bead appear inside the room. The bead still looked green and was somewhat transparent. However, this bead was still spinning since one could see a faint tornado appearing around it.

Zhao Hai looked at the bead and said, "Can you speak?"

A faint infantile voice sounded out, "I've seen the Master, I can speak."

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Hai nodded and then said, "Good, from now on, you shall be called Breeze. Bubble, Breeze, remember, you must always listen to Cai'er's words. Cai'er, look after these two children."

The young lady Cai'er smiled tenderly and said, "Young Master, rest assured, I will certainly take care of them." Zhao Hai nodded, he knew that although Cai'er is very strange, she also knew that Zhao Hai didn't like to joke, so she appeared quite proper. But still, Zhao Hai couldn't help but recall the time when Cai'er was riding on the back of Zhao Wen. She really looked childish back then.

Laura and the others didn't oppose to Zhao Hai's decision. Although Laura liked Bubble very much, she also had a lot of matters to attend to. It would be impossible for her to accompany Bubble daily. Making Cai'er play with Bubble was also a good idea.

In fact, Laura and the others had always regarded Mu'er and Cai'er as children. Although their abilities were formidable, Laura couldn't help but treat them as kids because of their image. When there was nothing to do in the Space, they would often play with Mu'er and Cai'er. That was one of their happy times.

Zhao Hai also likes to accompany Cai'er and play around for a while. To be honest, Zhao Hai's feeling towards the Space was bigger than Laura and the others. This was because the Space represented Zhao Hai's only connection to Earth.

Since arriving at the Ark Continent, Zhao Hai has found himself to be more and more like a native. But he doesn't want to be like this, but there was no other way. If he wanted to survive, then he would have to adapt. His only escape is the time where he was inside the Space where he always felt like he was back on Earth, playing his farm simulation games. He would feel just like his ordinary self back on Earth, and that all of this was just a dream.

Chapter 606 – Fighting Intent

However, Zhao Hai also didn't want to return to Earth. If he returned, he would just go back to being an ordinary nerd. In here, he was Zhao Hai Buda of the Buda Clan. He also had several wives that loved him. His situation here was leagues better than back on Earth.

The reason why he thought of Earth was because he didn't want to forget where he came from. In the universe, there is a planet called earth, of which there was a country called China. There, people with yellow skin and dark eyes were present, they were his true people.

Although Zhao Hai was now the Buda Clan's Patriarch, had gotten married, and also had his own life in the Ark Continent, his Chinese heart was still burning inside him. He always thought of himself as Chinese, a descendant of dragons.  To him, being married and getting a career in the Ark Continent was just like how someone was living and working abroad and also had gotten married.

The only thing different in his situation was that people who worked overseas can just return to their homeland while Zhao Hai cannot.

Now that the matters in the Northern Icefield had been taken care of, Zhao Hai finally relax. Then he immediately returned to the volcano in order to fulfill his promise to Tess. He must bring the Beast God's Spear to this place so that the Diamond Apes can do a ceremony.

Zhao Hai took Bloody War to the Space and then to the volcano. The moment Zhao Hai came out, Bloody War also materialized. He looked at the direction of the volcano and said, "Young Master, what is this place? Why do I feel a strong Beastman fighting intent from here?"

Then Zhao Hai narrated to Bloody War about the matters of the Diamond Apes. For the entirety of the story, Bloody War was carefully listening to Zhao Hai. After Zhao Hai had finished, Bloody War took a deep breath before he said, "Good, good, worthy to be called the children of the Beast God. They did great!"

Then just as Bloody War's voice fell, a red light suddenly erupted from the volcano as it pierced the heavens. Zhao Hai thought that the volcano had exploded but it didn't look like it. Although the red light was from the crater, it didn't have any degree of heat to it. Insted, the light held a cold killing intent, one that dared to fight the skies.

Fighting Intent! This should be the fighting intent that Bloody War had described! Zhao Hai felt felt the pressure from it and confirmed his thoughts. But he didn't understand why he hadn't felt it before. Instead, only after Bloody War said a few words did the fighting intent explode.

At this time, the red light from the crater slowly solidified and turned into a blood red spear that shot up to the sky. The spear was very huge, it was about a dozen feet high and about a meter thick. It looked extraordinary and imposing.

When the spear started to form, Bloody War immediately said, "Young Master, let me loose. This fighting intent would be good for me." Zhao Hai immediately let go of Bloody War.

Just as Zhao Hai's hands let go, Bloody War immediately flew towards the crater and penetrated the giant red spear. Then Zhao Hai saw that the giant spear had started to shrink as it integrated itself with Bloody War. After that, Bloody War flew back.

But now, Zhao Hai discovered that the originally black shaft of the spear already had a shade of red in it. Moreover, Bloody War's imposing aura had been strengthened.

At this time, Bloody War materialized again, but this time, he was much bigger than before. Zhao Hai looked at Bloody War and said, "What happened? That thing is useful to you? How did you absorb it?"

Bloody War shook his head and said, "Young Master, that fighting intent is a unique Beastman's Blood Oath fighting intent. This thing has huge benefits to me. This fighting intent is only produced by those who underwent a Blood Oath and is formed through generations. One couldn't see this kind of thing during normal times. Since I am a weapon, I always feel it in battlefields, it also causes me to get stronger and stronger. Young Master doesn't need to worry about me. I've already reached the same state as my peak."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Good. I'll go let you see the current Patriarch of the Diamond Apes. They badly wanted to see you. At the same time, tell them that you had me turn their previous Patriarch into an Undead. I don’t want them to misunderstand me."

Bloody War nodded then said, "Young Master, rest assured, Bloody War understands." Zhao Hai nodded, then he brought Bloody War to the Space and then to Iron Mountain Fort.

The lives of Tess and the others had been blissful these past few days. Beastmen were inherently good at herding. So although they hadn't herded in 5000 years, they quickly learned it with the help of the Giant Horned Bulls. Moreover, their living conditions have improved by tenfold. Normally, they would need the help of their giant apes in order to go anywhere, but now they didn't need to. This made Tess and the others unusually happy.

However, Tess still couldn’t help but worry about the Northern Icefield. Zhao Hai had already been there for many days but there seems to be no information.

He was afraid that Zhao Hai had suffered an accident, or that Zhao Hai couldn't find the Beast God's Spear. Because of this, Tess has been losing sleep for the past few days. One could even see him visibly getting skinnier. Compared to the other Diamond Apes, his appearance looked very exhausted.

Today, Tess was herding some argali. Then suddenly, a person appeared in front of him. Tess was initially startled, but then he thought that the only person who can appear in his vicinity without alerting his beast partner was Zhao Hai.

Tess turned to look at Zhao Hai and saw that the other party was smiling while holding a spear in his hand. This spear was obviously not something that was used by Humans. Its shaft was very thick and it was very long. It was evident that this spear can only be used by Beastmen.

Tess looked at the spear in Zhao Hai's hand and couldn't help but recall the records of their tribe. There, a spear with a specific length and thickness was carefully drawn. It was impossible for Tess to not recognize that the spear in Zhao Hai's hand was indeed the Beast God's Spear.

Tess took slow steps towards Zhao Hai before he knelt and extended both of his shivering hands in order to receive the spear in Zhao Hai's hand. Tears was constantly flowing out of his eyes.

Zhao Hai placed the spear on Tess's hands as Tess inspected the spear. Before long, Tess gave a loud howl as he wept, alarming the other Diamond Apes. The others immediately went to see what was going on. When they saw the Beast God's spear on Tess' hands, they gawked before they all knelt to the ground and cried non stop.

The Diamond Apes entered the Northern Icefield in order to retrieve the Beast God's Spear. They were educated by their elders about their mission from their younger years. Therefore, they immediately recognized the spear at first glance.

Adding Tess' reaction, they didn't doubt it at all. 5000 years, their 5000-year obsession had finally been solved!

Zhao Hai stood silently at the side. He can somewhat understand Tess' emotion. 5000 years, how long was that? In those 5000 years, how much have they suffered, how many did they lose? A tribe of nearly 800 thousand has been reduced to 100 thousand. Who can understand such bitterness.

After some time, Tess started to calm down. Zhao Hai then turned to Tess and said, "Patriarch Tess, I've also cured the Beast God's Spear's Artifact Spirit. He can come out and tell you a few words. I won't be listening to your conversations. I'll come back here after a minute."

Tess nodded, then Zhao Hai returned to Iron Mountain Fort's living room. Seeing Zhao Hai come back, Green immediately asked, "Young Master, did you manage to retrieve the Beast God's Spear?"

Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled and said, "I did, it's currently in Tess' hand. Rest assured, everything is fine. After Tess and the others do their ritual, I'll immediately head to the Beastman Prairie and hand it over to the Beast King. After that, I'll be a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen, hehe."

Green laughed, "Beastman Race's Foreign Prince, Dwarf Race's Foreign Elder, the Rosen Empire's son-in-law. Hahaha. Our Buda Clan hadn't seen this much status since its beginning. Fantastic!"

Zhao Hai chuckled as well before saying, "After taking care of the matters in the Prairie, I'll go and return to see the Dwarves. I want to meet Patriarch Billy and see if he had any communication with the Elves. I want to go visit the Elves. Once we unite, only then can we resist the Divine Realm."

Green retracted his smiling expression as he turned serious and said, "Indeed. Young Master, I have thought that since we cannot just simply sell the grain that we had grown in the Wasteland, it would be better for it to be stored in the Space in preparation for the war. After all, during battles, food is one thing that must never run out."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Grandpa Green, you don't need to worry about that. The Space already has ten backgrounds. Those backgrounds are still not used. If we plant some crops there, then we would certainly have a lot."

Green tapped his head and said, "Ah, I forgot about those. Alright, there's no need to save. But Young Master, how would we know the time of the Divine Race's attack?"

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly and said, "We won't. But as long as we prepare, we're fine. But even if they don't begin, I will still make a move. I don't want to be too passive."

Green stared, then he looked at Zhao Hai with bright eyes as he said, "Alright, good. It's just as Young Master says, being too defensive is no good. Our Buda Clan had always been known for our Wild Dragon Flag. Attack has always been our forte. Offense is always good."

Green was now very confident in Zhao Hai. One must know that the Buda Clan not only had the God ranked Cai'er, they also had more than 1 million 9th ranks. Green believed that such strength can, at the very least, contend with the Divine Race.

Zhao Hai didn't know about Green's thoughts, but he knew that he wasn't the type of person that waits to be beaten. He knew that the other party wanted to deal with him. But they would only begin after they had made the proper preparations, explaining why they still haven't begun.

After he heard Green, Zhao Hai showed a faint smile and said, "After so many years of development, I don't know what the Divine Race has right now. And there are still the Demons on the sidelines. The future of the Ark Continent wouldn't be very good. Unfortunately, not many people knew about this. Forget it, let's stop talking about this. Grandpa Green, no need to welcome me back. I'll be going to Tess and see if they wanted to return to the Northern Icefield in order to do a ceremony. I'll be leaving this place to you once again. By the way, how are Tess and the others doing? Have they become familiar with the place?"

Green smiled and said, "They have become familiar with the customs here. At this point, they basically didn't need the guidance of the Giant Horned Bulls. Young Master can rest assured."

Zhao Hai nodded, "That's good. Then I'll take my leave." He said as his body flashed and vanished. Green looked at where Zhao Hai vanished and couldn't help but mutter, "Old Master, have you ever thought that the Buda Clan would have such a day? The Young Master had grown up, he will certainly be a pride of the Buda Clan!"

This was Green's dream, and it had been completely realized. Green knew more than Zhao Hai. At this point, everybody in the continent was aware of the Buda Clan's strength. Green knew that even if the Buda Clan revealed the current state of the Black Wasteland, nobody would still dare to make a move on them.

Adding on to the fact that Zhao Hai would become the Beastman's Foreign Prince, and was also a Foreign Elder of the Dwarves, his status was something that no country would dare to offend. One could even consider the current strength of the Buda Clan to be like a calamity.

Zhao Hai was unaware of Green's thoughts. He just followed his own plan and went forward step by step. He wouldn't care about any other things.

When Zhao Hai reappeared in front of Tess, Bloody War had already returned to the spear. After seeing Zhao Hai appear, Tess and the others immediately knelt in front of him.

Upon seeing them, Zhao Hai quickly said, "Patriarch Tess, please get up. I'm unable to receive a big ceremony like this."

But Tess still kowtowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Patriarch, you are a huge benefactor to my Diamond Ape tribe. Not only did you take us out of the Northern icefield, you also arranged a good place for us to live as well as some cattle and argali to keep. Most importantly, you have retrieved the Beast God's Spear for us. You're not only a benefactor to the Diamond Ape tribe, you are a benefactor to the entire Beastman Race. So please accept our gratitude." Then Tess knocked his head to the ground.

The other Diamond Apes also kowtowed simultaneously with Tess. This time, Zhao Hai didn't dare to stop them. After receiving their kowtow, he said, "Alright, all of you, get up. You're now people of the Buda Clan. You won't need to do such a thing in the future. Just remember, no matter what you do, always consider the Buda Clan in your hearts."

Tess and the others roared in one voice before they stood up. Zhao Hai then looked at Tess and said, "I can take you and the Beast God's Spear back to the volcano. Do you still want to do your ceremony?'"

Tess shook his head and said, "There's no need, Patriarch. Sir Artifact Spirit told us that he had already received the sentiment of our ancestors. So there's no need to go back there anymore."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll be delivering the Beast God's Spear back to the Prairie. You go continue on with your matters." Then he took the Beast God's Spear before vanishing in front of the group.

Chapter 607 – Excitement

These past few days, the Beast King has been paying close attention to news about the Northern Icefield. From the moment Zhao Hai entered the Icefield, two months had already passed by. But until now, no new information had arrived.

He had ordered the White Tigers, Polar Bears, and the Ice Hawks to have open ears towards the Icefield. As long as something happened, they must give action. They must support Zhao Hai at all costs.

Because of this, the Ice Hawk tribe had been doing constant rounds every day. As long as they discover a trace of Zhao Hai, they would immediately go and offer him aid.

But unfortunately for them, they didn't know that Zhao Hai had the Space. Because of this, their efforts had been in vain.

But one couldn't blame the Beast King for being so careful, being careless would have been a much worse offense. As the matter stands, the Beast God's Spear has apparently become very important. The Beast King had nothing else to do but be alert.

These past days, the Beast Kind didn't have any good sleep. Nearly two months had passed, and there wasn't any information about Zhao Hai. The Beast Kind was near to believing that Zhao Hai had failed.

While sitting in his office, the Beast King couldn't help but give a deep sigh. He felt pity for Zhao Hai since he knew the reason why Zhao Hai wanted to look for the Divine Artifact. The Beast King always believed Zhao Hai to be a very great person that could unite the entire continent, and he wasn't afraid of taking risks. The Beast King really hoped that Zhao Hai would succeed. But it seems like the chances had grown smaller and smaller.

But it was good that the business with the Buda Clan had remained stable. The business still stayed the same, and for the Beastmen, this was a very good thing.

Although there was that, the Beast King still couldn't help but sigh. He was also worried about the entire Ark Continent. If Zhao Hai cannot find the Beast God's Spear, then they would definitely be in good danger. If Zhao Hai didn't come back in one month, then he can only task several 9th rank experts to explore the Icefield. Retrieving the Beast God's Spear was not only a must for the Beastmen, it was important for the entire Ark Continent as well.

At this time, the Beast King's guard suddenly walked in. With an excited face he gave his report to the Beast King, "Your Majesty, Mister Zhao Hai seeks an audience. He is outside!"

The Beast King gawked, for a while he was frozen as he stared at his guard. It took some time before he recovered, then he immediately said, "Invite him in quickly! No. I'll go personally greet him." Then he didn't delay in going out.

Before long, he arrived at the tent for reception. It was obvious that the people there didn't expect the Beast King to come personally, but they still immediately said, "We've seen His Majesty!"

The Beast King waved his hand and said, "Where's Mister Zhao Hai?"

A Tiger Beastman immediately replied, "Your Majesty, he's at the registration tent outside the palace." The Beast King didn't wait for him to finish before he dashed out of the palace.

Zhao Hai was currently sitting inside the registration tent while chatting with the Beastmen inside. The fact that he went to the Northern Icefield was a secret, there were only few Beastmen who knew about it. However, although the people in the tent were clueless, they were already familiar with Zhao Hai's status. They knew that seeking audience with the Beast King at any time can only be done by people of revered status. Those kinds of people weren't someone they can afford to offend.

Additionally, these Beastmen were also very grateful to Zhao Hai. As long as one was a Beastman, it was inevitable that they would make milk wine. And because of Zhao Hai's business, their families were able to make good profit. At the same time, Zhao Hai's Magic Lily shop was very honest in doing business. Whenever they do business, the Beastmen would never feel that they were cheated. At this point, even if Zhao Hai didn't display his friendship flags, his name alone would gain respect from the other Beastmen.

The war had long been finished, so Human merchants had also started to come and do business. But after those people arrived, they had discovered that their business had shrunk. Even if they had traded with a tribe before, they still weren't the tribe's first choice. Instead, the Beastmen seem to first look to Magic Lily shop for business.

However, these Merchants can't do anything to the shop. They simply cannot offend Magic Lily shop. First, because it was backed by the powerful Buda Clan, and second, because the Beastmen would deal with anyone that dared to take action against the shop.

At the same moment, Zhao Hai's business alliance had also been organized. Now. the biggest business in the Prairie was Zhao Hai's alliance. If other people wanted to do business in the Prairie, then they would have to do their best to not offend the alliance.

Naturally, Zhao Hai won't provoke others on his own initiative. Zhao Hai knew that the Beastman Prairie was very big, it was impossible for them to swallow it's entire market. So as long as people play fairly, Zhao Hai would not make a move. After all, Zhao Hai was never afraid of competition.

At this time, sounds of footsteps can be heard outside the tent. Zhao Hai knew that it must be the Tiger beastman that he had sent to notify the Beast King. What made him feel strange was the fact that there was one more set of footsteps that can be heard.

While Zhao Hai was thinking, the tent's curtain was suddenly opened as a person walked from outside. Zhao Hai looked at the person and couldn't help but stare, it was because it was the Beast King. Zhao Hai hastily got up and gave a bow, "I've seen His Majesty."

The Beast King excitedly walked forward and helped Zhao Hai up. He looked at Zhao Hai and was at a loss for words because of his excitement. Zhao Hai saw the Beast King's expression and immediately knew what he came here for. So Zhao Hai gave a gentle nod.

The Beast King's face exploded with even more excitement, he immediately pulled Zhao Hai's hand and said, "Mister, come with me immediately. Let's talk somewhere else." After that, regardless of the expressions of the other people present, Zhao Hai went with the Beast King to head towards the palace. After they were gone, the other people couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect Zhao Hai to have this big of a position inside the Beast King's heart. He could actually make the Beast King meet him personally.

The Beast King brought Zhao Hai to his office and had the guard protect the door. After that, the Beast King immediately said, "Mister, did you really retrieve the Beast God's Spear?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly as the Beast God Spear appeared in his hand. Zhao Hai held the spear in both hands as he carefully handed it over to the Beast King.

The Beast King's hand couldn’t help but shake upon receiving the spear. Tears went down uncontrollably out of his eyes. He held the Beast God's Spear gently and after a short while let out a long breath. His tears vanished as he respectfully placed the spear at an appropriate place and turned to Zhao Hai, "My deepest gratitude goes to Mister. Let me offer our gratitude in behalf of the entire Beastman race for retrieving our Divine Artifact."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be too polite. The Beast God's Spear's Artifact Spirit has also been restored to its original state. He can now materialize. If Your Majesty has any questions, you can just ask Sir Artifact Spirit."

The Beast King gawked, then his two eyes turned to the Beast God's Spear as he bowed and said, "I ask to see Sir Artifact Spirit."

As soon as his voice ended, Bloody War immediately appeared on the spear's shaft. He looked at Beast King and said, "You're the current Beast King?"

When the Beast King saw Bloody War, he enthusiastically gave a bow and said, "Wei Jian has seen Sir Artifact Spirit. I am indeed the current Beast King."

Bloody War nodded and then said, "Good, Mister Zhao Hai has already asked me to look after the Beastmen. He also asked me to confirm what the Dwarves have said. I want to tell you that everything is true. The Gods, the Divine Realm, everything. I have no other thing to say that you don't already know." Then his figure went back to the spear.

The Beast King gave another bow to the Beast God's Spear. Then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, thank you."

Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty is too polite. Sir Artifact Spirits restoration is also beneficial to the Human race. When I told him about the situation of the Beastmen and the Gods, i didn't expect him to know about it. His words also coincided with the Dwarves' Artifact Spirit."

The Beast King nodded and then sighed, "It looks like mister's speculations are real. It's possible for the Radiant Church to be connected to the Divine Realm. But no matter what, we cannot let them off. Mister can rest assured, tomorrow, I shall announce your appointment as the Beastman Race's Foreign Prince."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's no need to rush. What His Majesty needs to do now is to prepare the Beastman race. I shall head back to the Dwarves as soon as possible. I want to see if Patriarch Billy was able to get into contact with the Elves. I don't know about their current situation, so I wanted to take a look."

The Beast King nodded, "Then I'll to trouble mister with this matter. Mister can rest assured, your appointment as our Foreign Prince has already been discussed and approved by the major tribes in the Prairie. They agreed that as long as mister comes back then you would immediately receive your position. So there's no need for a lengthy process, mister can just do his own matters immediately."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, then I'll have to thank his Majesty. Also, the Beastmen needs to save their strength at this time. In the past, the Beastmen lacked ironware, but now, with the Dwarves' support, I think your development would be much more quicker. I also think that since the Beastmen needed to preserve their strength, wars should be minimized as much as possible. Otherwise, with the newly acquired ironware, the casualties would be too big."

The Beast King agreed, "Mister can feel relieved. I would certainly act on it. However, the Prairie still needed grain, we'll have to depend on mister on this matter."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry about this. Whether it be bamboo rice or bread fruit, I have tons of them. I can provide you with as many as you want at a fair price."

The Beast King nodded, then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alright. Also, I'll need to ask mister to stay here for a meal. Otherwise, i would feel uneasy."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Then I would be polite. But I think it would be better if the retrieval of the Beast God's Spear would be held in secrecy. This could become one of our ace against the Divine Race. I'm sure that the Radiant Church is aware of the Divine Artifacts' disappearance. Let's have them continue that thought."

Chapter 608 – Cooperation

"Zhao Hai Buda has become a Foreign Prince of the Beastman Race!"

These words had rippled through every street and alley in the continent. Everyone knew about it, and there was no doubt that this was bomb. Everyone was stunned.

It had been less than a year after the war between the Beastmen and the Humans. But at this time, this news had suddenly spread out. A Human becoming a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen was something that was extremely startling.

Zhao Hai, who had gone quiet for two months, suddenly had his name mentioned in the continent once again. People started to discover the talent of this Patriarch of the Buda Clan. It was known that he had helped the Beastmen greatly, but nobody knew the specifics, even most Beastmen. Because of this, people started to make all kinds of speculation.

At this time, Zhao Hai was actually looking for Randolph in Dark Solder Fort. Zhao Hai told Randolph about the Divine Realm as well as what happened in the Northern Icefield. Compared to the Emperor, Zhao Hai was much more trusting towards Randolph. Zhao Hai believed that Randolph wouldn't tell this matter to anyone else.

After listening to Zhao Hai, Randolph's expression couldn't help but go heavy. And after Zhao Hai left, he immediately adjusted the future plans of the Calci Family. This made people confused about what just happened.

Then Zhao Hai went to the Crook Family, however, he didn't tell Jesse about the matters of the Divine Realm, as well as the Beast God's Spear. He just told Jesse to adjust the future strategy of the Crook Family.

Although Jesse didn't understand Zhao Hai's motive, he believed that their eternal ally wouldn't harm them. Therefore, the Crook Family started to make adjustments as well.

Naturally, these adjustments weren't obvious. Even if it were known to outsiders, they would only think that this was just an ordinary shift, nothing else.

And although Zhao Hai visited the Imperial Palace to see the Emperor, he didn't say anything to him. He just chatted with the Emperor for a while. And seeing that the Dead Minister didn't leave, Zhao Hai affirmed his stance of not telling the Emperor.

After handling his matters at the Rosen Empire, Zhao Hai then went to the Buddha Empire. The bulls that was sent to the Buddha Empire had already arrived some time ago and was given to the Buddha Emperor. This made the Emperor very satisfied with Zhao Hai.

The beasts that Zhao Hai sent over were special beasts of the Herculean Bulls, therefore, their levels weren't very low. For the Buddha Empire, this was a very crucial shipment.

Zhao Hai travelled by ship towards the Buddha Empire's Iron Knight City. Zhao Hai went to the capital in order to discuss to the Emperor about the horse magic beasts.

Wales had sent information to Zhao Hai about the horse magic beasts. The Horse Beastmen were also willing to trade some ironware for some 4th or 5th rank horse magic beasts with Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai came this time to discuss this matter with the Emperor.

Just as Zhao Hai entered the harbor, he had discovered the Ironwood was already there. But Ironwood wasn't wearing this full armor this time but instead just an ordinary warrior's clothes. However, his stance still remained imposing.

When Zhao Hai disembarked from his ship, Ironwood immediately went to welcome him. Ironwood smiled and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, His Majesty is already waiting for you."

Zhao Hai gave a bow and said, "I've made Vice Admiral Ironwood wait, I hope you'll forgive me."

Ironwood laughed and said, "Mister is always polite, that's no good. Mister, come with me to see His Majesty."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Alright" Then they sat down at a carriage and rode towards the city. And since this carriage was of the Royal Palace, it was given the highest priority of way.

After they got in, Ironwood boiled a pot of tea and offered it to Zhao Hai before saying, "The bull magic beasts that mister had sent last time made His Majesty very satisfied. Ever since then, His Majesty had always wanted to express his gratitude to mister. Because of that, when His Majesty came to know that you would be arriving today, he immediately sent me over to welcome you."

Zhao Hai immediately replied, "His Majesty is too polite. I'm only a Merchant, doing business is our great pleasure. Since I accepted his Majesty's request, then it was natural that I would need to deliver on that promise."

Ironwood laughed and said, "Mister is certainly not an ordinary merchant. To be honest, this one admires mister. I didn't expect you to become a Beastman Race's Foreign Prince. That's too great of an achievement. In the past millenium, you are the first person to become a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's really not that special. I just helped the Beastmen slightly. And because of his gratitude, the Beast King decided to confer me with this title. Actually, I don't have any authority on the Beastmen."

Ironwood smiled and said, "Mister doesn't need to be so modest. I heard that to be a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen, it would more than their gratitude for them to agree. Mister must have helped them a great deal."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I did. But to be honest, they can also do what I just did. It's just that I'm much more suitable for the job. Hehe."

When Ironwood heard Zhao Hai, he knew that there was no chance of him knowing what that thing was. So he didn't ask any questions about it. He just smiled and said, "Since Mister has become the Beastman Race's Foreign Prince, then wouldn't it be much easier for you to acquire magic beasts?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's not that easy.  Beastmen's temperament is not quite good, even the Beast King cannot fully command them, much less a Foreign Prince. The Prairie has a lot of unique magic beasts, but I can only send some bull magic beasts at this time. However, I had recently been in contact with the Horse Beastmen in order to trade for their magic beasts hopefully."

Ironwood's eyes turned bright, horse type magic beasts were the most compatible types for being a mount. If they could have a lot a horse magical beasts, the Buddha Empire's cavalry would be elevated to another level.

It didn't take long before the carriage arrived at the Imperial Palace. Then they were welcomed to a small hall where the Buddha Emperor was already waiting for them.

After exchanging greetings with the Emperor and being bestowed a seat, the Buddha Emperor smiled and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, we've troubled you a lot. My Buddha Empire is very thankful for mister's efforts."

Zhao Hai quickly replied, "This one doesn't dare. Your Majesty is too polite, I was just doing what I needed to do."

The Emperor looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Although there weren't a lot of beasts last time, it still gave me hope for our future cooperation with mister."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "A long-term cooperation with Your Majesty would be good. It would give a lot of profits to me. Your Majesty, I came this time to tell you that I had managed to come in contact with the Horse tribe through the Cows. They also want to trade their horse magic beasts but on the condition that they would also be traded with ironware. What does Your Majesty think about this?"

When the Emperor heard Zhao Hai, he couldn't help but knit his brows. The ironware of the Buddha Empire were of very high quality, this was because the Buddha Empire's ironware were mostly made by the Dwarves. It wasn't a problem if the Buddha Empire were to sell them off, but the Buddha Emperor was afraid that the Beastmen would use the iron to attack the Human lands. When that time comes, he would be a criminal among the humans. Moreover, other nations would also seize that opportunity to deal with his Empire.

After thinking about it, the Emperor couldn't help but turn to ZHao Hai and asked, "Mister, you're a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen, can you tell me what the Beastmen intend to do with these ironware?"

When Zhao Hai heard this, he smiled and said, "I can understand your worries, Young Majesty. Although I don't have much authority in the Prairie, I am still privy to inside information. Is Your Majesty worried that the Beastmen would invade the humans? I can tell Your Majesty that you can rest assured. I got information that the Beast King would soon be issuing a Sealed Blade Command!"

The Buddha Emperor couldn't help but be shocked. He knew that the Beastman Race's Sealed Black Command was an order for the Beastmen to rest and build up strength. As long as the Beast King announces this command, no Beastman Race would resort to any violence, whether it be exterior of interior. Only when their survival was threatened would the Beastmen be allowed to attack. In other words, as long as there is the Sealed Blade Command, wars between Beastmen and with Humans would not occur. Unless the Humans make the first move.

The Buddha Emperor couldn't help but looked straight into Zhao Hai's eyes and say, "Is mister telling the truth?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I won't dare to deceive Your Majesty. Rest assured, I'm quite sure that the Beastmen would issue a Sealed Blade Command."

The Buddha Emperor nodded, he thought for a moment before saying, "If it is like this, then that would be good news. As soon as the Beast King announces the Sealed Blade Command, I would immediately agree to the Horse Tribe's business."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Rest assured, it would only take a few days before it'll get announced. Just give word and leave the rest to me."

The reason that Zhao Hai mentioned the Sealed Blade Command to the Buddha Emperor was to let the Buddha Emperor agree to his business with the Dwarves. Although he can get to the Dwarves without seeing the Emperor, he didn't want any conflict between the Dwarf Race and the Buddha Empire. The Dwarves needed to rest and build up strength as well in order to prepare for the Divine Race and the future war. If any conflict occurs with the Buddha Empire, then the Dwarves wouldn't have time to rest.

Zhao Hai believed that the Buddha Emperor would agree to his cooperation with the Dwarves. The reason why the Buddha Empire held tightly on to the Dwarf ironware was because the Empire didn't want the others to use it to attack their country. Zhao Hai reckoned that selling to the Beastmen who were several nations away from them would be just fine.

The Buddha Empire's agreement was also because of Zhao Hai's performance. The last time that Zhao Hai went to the Dwarves, he told the Buddha Emperor that he wouldn't sell the ironware to the Rosen Empire. Sure enough, Zhao Hai didn't take the Dwarf Ironware to the Rosen Empire. This made the Buddha Emperor trust him more.

Chapter 609 – Sea Race Incident

After a few days, the Beastmen did indeed issue an order announcing the Prairie's Sealed Blade Command. But at this time, Zhao Hai had already arrived at Dwarf Iron Mountain.

Now that Zhao Hai was their Foreign Elder, Zhao Hai was immediately welcomed to Billy's village after arriving at the mountain.

Billy personally welcomed Zhao Hai to his house. And after they had sat down, Billy looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, what happened? You suddenly became the Foreign Prince of the Beastmen, was that because you helped them restore their Artifact Spirit?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Not only that. The Beastmen had lost the Beast God's Spear in the Northern Icefield 5000 years ago. Although they had been seeking for it the whole time, nobody was able to succeed. This time, I went to the Northern Icefield to help them retrieve their Beast God's Spear. Because of that they gave me the position of Foreign Prince."

Billy immediately replied, "Lost? How come? That's their Divine Artifact."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then told Billy about the matter with the Diamond Apes. Billy nodded and said, "So it was like that. No wonder the Diamond Apes were sent into exile. When I read from our records that the Diamond Apes were sent to exile, I immediately became confused. After all, they were the Royal Tribe. So it was actually because of the Beast God's Spear."

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The Beast God's Spear has now been returned to the Beastmen. Moreover, its artifact spirit has been restored. The Beastmen will also issue a Sealed Blade Command, having themselves rest and buildup their strength. The Dwarves should do it as well. My ironware business with the Dwarves has already been approved by the Buddha Emperor since he wanted me to buy some magic beasts from the Beastmen. As the matter stands, he would not say a word about our business in the future. I just had to ask him since I want to maintain the good relationship between the Dwarves and the Buddha Empire. Peace is very important to your race at this time."

Billy nodded and then said, "You really do think far into the future. Then what do we do next?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Not much really, as long as our current plans go through, everything should be fine. I've also started to stockpile some grain and daily necessities to act as strategic resources in the future."

Billy nodded, "You can rest assured about the situation with the Dwarves. Although we had sold a lot of weapons outside, we still have very ample amount of stock still left. Moreover, these are our best products, much better quality than those we sell outside. So you don't need to worry about weapons."

Zhao Hai nodded, "Our transactions in the future would still continue, just keep storing the warehouse. Right, you told me that you'll find some people who will settle on the Black Wasteland. Did you manage to find them?"

Billy nodded, "I've picked some. At this point, there are more than 100 Dwarves that are willing to settle down in Iron Mountain fort. So when do you plan on getting them there?"

Zhao Hai thought for a moment before he said, "Let them wait here first, I still need to prepare their place. But when they arrive there, they might not be working on metals the whole time. I might need them for something else."

Billy smiled, "Don't worry, I've already told them about that."

Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright. Also, if you dig up any special things, please leave some of them for me. I'm quite curious about those types of stuff."

Billy couldn't help but laugh, "That's not a problem, rest assured."

Then Zhao Hai said, "So how about the Elves? Did they send a reply?"

Billy smiled bitterly and said, "The matter with the Elves are doing just fine. Those guys are just slow. They said that they must observe first before sending proper word to us. So you don't need to worry about it."

Zhao Hai nodded, he didn't know anything about the Elves. Since Billy said that there's no need to worry, then he would just wait. In any case, the Radiant Church wouldn't start their plan in a short time. However, it seems like Zhao Hai's plan to level up in the Elven Forest would have to be moved to a later time."

Zhao Hai stayed for a day with the Dwarves before he returned to Golden Island using the Space. He wanted to know the current status of the island.

Zhao Hai already received word that the Hurricane Family's Kristen had already arrived at the island and had started to do business there. The business that they had was very simple and was similar to the Buda Clan, grain and other basic necessities. Zhao Hai had also heard that their business was doing good.

Zhao Hai has not gone to see Kristen because his attention was taken by another piece of news. Kun just told Zhao Hai that the business with the Sea Race has been very unstable. The Rock Shrimps had also been recently reducing their business.

This news was very important for Zhao Hai. His business with the Sea Race was one of his more important businesses. If this business were to be broken, then it would have a huge influence to the Buda Clan. Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to check the Marine Races personally.

But before that, Zhao Hai had Green empty out some land in the Black Wasteland so that the Dwarves can have their own place. Zhao Hai invited the Dwarves not only because he wanted them to work on his metals, but also to teach the slaves their craftsmanship.

Although the Space was also producing some iron ore, it wasn't a lot. On the other hand, among the slaves that Zhao Hai had bought, there were also several blacksmiths among them. However, the craftsmanship of these slaves weren't very good. Because of that Zhao Hai decided to invite some Dwarves to settle in the wasteland.

Green was already used to these kinds of things. But this time, Green had no idea of Dwarf customs. After all, he hadn't contacted any Dwarves in the past.

Zhao Hai also asked Billy and was told that there were no special requirements at all. So Zhao Hai can only ask Green to continue while he returned to Golden Island and rode a ship towards the reef where the Rock Shrimps were living in.

The route was already visited by Zhao Hai many times, so naturally he wouldn't get lost. Moreover, the pirates at the sea were already aware of the Buda Clan ships that would head towards the deep seas to get some marine products.

The influence to the Buda Clan in the sea was very strong that the pirates would just go around their ships, so the route was very safe.

Five days later, Zhao Hai had officially entered the deep seas. But he felt strange since there weren't any Sea people that came to see him. In the past, people would've already been alerted to his presence and were already meeting him.

Because of this, Zhao Hai opened his monitor and looked at the surroundings. Aside from small magic beasts, there was nothing in the vicinity, even Sea people.

Along with Zhao Hai were Laura and the others who were basking in the sun. They also felt strange so Laura said, "Brother Hai, wasn't this the Sea Race's domain? Where's everybody? Did they go lazy?"

Zhao Hai shook his head, "Not necessarily. For them to reduce their business only meant that there was an internal problem going on. This situation proved this point."

Laura knit her eyebrows and said, "Problems? What problems would sea people have?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Who knows? Only after meeting them would this matter be clarified." Then suddenly a Rock Shrimp tribesman appeared on the monitor.

Zhao Hai turned the monitor off as the Rock Shrimp appeared near Zhao Hai's ship. The Rock Shrimp looked at the emblem on the ship and decided to not attack. Then he asked, "Is this the Buda Clan's ship?"

Zhao Hai went to the ship's bow and gave bow to the Rock Shrimp in the water and said, "Buda Clan's Patriarch Zhao Hai has seen Brother Rock Shrimp."

As soon as the Rock Shrimp heard Zhao Hai's title, he couldn't help but stare. But he almost immediately replied, "So it is Patriarch Zhao Hai. This one has been very disrespectful. Can I ask why Patriarch Zhao Hai has come?"

Then Zhao Hai replied, "I have a matter to discuss with the Rock Shrimp Tribe Patriarch. Can I go and see him?"

The Rock Shrimp looked at Zhao Hai and awkwardly said, "I'll be unfair to Patriarch Zhao Hai, but our Rock Shrimp Tribe has gotten into some serious matter. I'm afraid that the Patriarch wouldn't be able to have the time to see you."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I'll just ask brother to send word out for me. I really do have something to talk to the Patriarch."

The Rock Shrimp couldn't help but feel awkward at Zhao Hai's answer. But he also knew that they couldn't offend the Buda Clan. Their Rock Shrimp Tribe was just a very small tribe. Without Zhao Hai, they would have huge problems with their yearly tribute.

After thinking for a moment, the Rock Shrimp gave a bow and said, "Then I'll go send word. I'll have to ask Patriarch Zhao Hai to wait for a moment." Then the Rock Shrimp dove back down into the sea and headed back to his tribe.

At the same time, Zhao Hai also had the undead lower the ship's anchor as he waited for the Rock Shrimp to come back. However, Zhao Hai had confirmed that there was indeed some issues that happened within the Sea Race.

Zhao Hai's original plan was to take care of the Elves first before he takes a look at the Sea Race. No matter what, the Sea Race also held a large population in this world. If the Gods did indeed want to rule this plane, then they certainly won't ignore the people of the Sea. Therefore, Zhao Hai also wanted to make an alliance with them.

Now that the matter with the Elves was pushed back, the Sea Race unexpectedly developed an incident. This was good for Zhao Hai since he can take care of this matter instead.

Zhao Hai didn't wait for a long time before the Rock Shrimp Patriarch appeared near the Haven. Then Zhao Hai gave a bow to the Rock Shrimp Patriarch before he said, "I've taken the liberty to disturb the Patriarch. I hope that you forgive me."

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch smiled faintly and said, "I didn't expect Patriarch Zhao Hai to come here personally. May I know Patriarch Zhao Hai's reason for the visit?" Although he was smiling, Zhao Hai can notice a subtle worry in the old Rock Shrimp's face. It seems like his people had encountered something big this time.

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The reason I came to Patriarch this time was to ask your help. I just want to have an audience with the Leader of the Sea Race."

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, the old Rock Shrimp couldn't help but stare. When he recovered, he clarified Zhao Hai's words, "Patriarch, you mean that you want to meet with the Sea King?"

Only at this moment did Zhao Hai know that the Sea Race's Patriarch was called the Sea King. But nobody can blame his for this, contact between the Sea Race and the Humans was too few. Humans didn't even know the races in the sea. They were only collectively known as the Sea Race, and that they had a ruler.

Upon hearing that the ruler of the Sea Race was named Sea King, Zhao Hai immediately responded, "i have an important matter to discuss with the Honorable Sea King. I'm asking Patriarch to help me send word. Can I ask you to do this?"

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why would Patriarch want to see the Sea King? To be honest, my tribe doesn't have the influence to even see the Sea King."

Zhao Hai's expression sank as he said, "Patriarch, this matter is extremely important. Tell the Sea King that aside from being the Patriarch of the Buda Clan and the son-in-law of the Rosen Emperor, I'm also a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen as well as a Foreign Elder of the Dwarves. Tell the Sea King that my visit involves a major event of the world. I ask the Patriarch to relay these words."

Zhao Hai's long string of titles made the Rock Shrimp Patriarch's expression change. He didn't expect Zhao Hai to be so influential. The Sea Race might not have any idea about the relationship between the Humans and the Dwarves, but they were extremely familiar with the Beastmen.

Races from the Ark Continent and the Sea Race didn't have much contact, with the only exception being the Beastmen. This was because the Beastmen also had tribes that lived on water. These Beastmen might not be fully living in water, but their lifestyles were closely tied to it. Some of these Beastmen lived on beaches while some lived on islands. Because of this, when Zhao Hai revealed that he was a Foreign Prince of the Beastman Race, the Rock Shrimp Patriarch's heart couldn't help but jump.

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch immediately gave Zhao Hai a bow before saying, "I didn't expect Patriarch to be a Foreign Prince of the Beastmen. This one has been disrespectful. However, this one didn't lie. Our Rock Shrimp tribe is indeed too small to have an audience with the Honored Sea King. I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much in this regard."

Zhao Hai knit his brows and said, "I'll ask the Patriarch to please find a way. I came this time not because of business. This matter shall affect all of the races in this world. I sincerely ask for Patriarch's help."

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch looked at Zhao Hai's face and couldn't help but be moved. They had been doing business with the Buda Clan for quite some time. The Buda Clan's business conduct is extremely good and they give very fair prices. This gave the Rock Shrimp Patriarch a very good impression towards the Buda Clan. And now that he saw how sincere Zhao Hai was, he couldn't help but believe in Zhao Hai's words. It seems like there really was something big going on.

Chapter 610 – Swordfish Tribe

If it was like what Zhao Hai thought that the Fishman was having an internal problem, then the previously unqualified Rock Shrimp tribe would become qualified to see the Sea King, given the special situation.

The reason why this was possible was the enormity of the population among the Fishman. There were some people who would want to challenge the authorities, and those people were no doubt strong, and they might even have strong allies as well. At this time, the Sea King would want to pull even the smallest power he can find. And the weak Rock Shrimp Tribe was one of those.

It was precisely because of this that the Rock Shrimp Patriarch was allowed an audience with the Sea King. And the reason why Zhao Hai approached the Rock Shrimp Patriarch and not going directly to the Sea King was because he wanted to make an impression on the old Rock Shrimp.

Since they did good business with them before, the Rock Shrimp Patriarch believed in Zhao Hai's words.

However, it would still take some time before the Rock Shrimp Patriarch can prepare. So he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, I can try and seek help from a larger tribe with regards to this matter. But before that, can mister show me proof of your status as the Foreign Prince of the Beastman Race?"

When Zhao Hai heard the old Rock Shrimp, he knew that he had succeeded. So he immediately said, "Of course, there's no problem." Then he took out the Beatman Command token and threw it over to the Rock Shrimp Patriarch.

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch received the token and looked at it. The Fishman also had their own records, and among their writings were magnificent stories about the outside world. Among them was the Prince's Command Token of the Beastmen. This token was made with a kind of beast bone that was strong as steel and was as heavy as black iron. There was no way for this token to be replicated by other people.

When the Rock Shrimp Patriarch received the Prince's Token, he immediately knew that it was the real thing. One must know that one of the heaviest metals in the Ark Continent was black iron. And it was impossible for other people to mistake it for something else. However, the Beastmen actually managed to replicate the weight of black iron with a beast bone. There was no records of what bone was able to do this.

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch looked at the Prince Command Token and then looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, please give me time, about a few days or so. I'll do my best to find a way. Is that alright?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "There's still time, so it won't be a big deal. But this matter is also important and must be told to the honorable Sea King. I'll have to trouble Patriarch for this."

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch looked at Zhao Hai and then nodded, "Alright. Mister can rest assured. This one would certainly do everything that is possible." Then he gave Zhao Hai a small bow before diving back down into the sea.

Shortly after the Rock Shrimps had gone down, Laura turned to Zhao Hai and said, "It seems like the Fishman did have an incident. Otherwise the Rock Shrimps would be certain that they wouldn't see the Sea King. The Patriarch wouldn't have thought that there was indeed a way."

Zhao Hai nodded, he also carefully used his words in order to probe for answers. If the Rock Shrimp Patriarch really didn't have a way, then he wouldn't even dare to promise him. After all, the Rock Shrimps really needed human commodities, so he wouldn't risk himself offending Zhao Hai. But since the old Rock Shrimp agreed, then there might really be a possibility. This basically meant that some instability has happened within the Fishman.

Although Zhao Hai had no understanding about the matters of the Fishman, he can still speculate from the business between the Buda Clan and the Rock Shrimp Tribe. Since the Rock Shrimp tribe can't buy up all of the Buda Clan's supplies, then the Buda Clan already had a metric about the Rock Shrimp tribes' size.

From what Zhao Hai can see, the Rock Shrimp Tribe had similar standing with the Giant Horned Bulls as well as the Black Bellied Pig Tribe that Zhao Hai had met when the first entered the Prairie. They were people placed at the bottom of the power pyramid. Therefore, how could such a tribe be able to have an audience with the Sea King?

The Rock Shrimp Tribe being able to promise an audience was indeed a very strange thing. It was due to this that Zhao Hai knew that the Fishman had a giant accident. Otherwise the Rock Shrimp Patriarch wouldn't have been so sure.

Lizzy turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, what do you think happened in the Fishman?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "I can't possibly know. But from how the Rock Shrimp Patriarch has been acting, I'm afraid that the structure of the Fishman has become unstable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to see the Sea King. The Sea King might have been scrounging up people in order to gain enough strength to hold into power."

Megan nodded and said, "That's extremely possible. If this is really the case, then I'm afraid that it's not the time for us to come here. I think that the Sea King wouldn't have time to get to see us."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Not really. Perhaps we came just in time. If we can help the Sea King solve this crisis, then we might have more leverage in discussing with the Fishman."

Meg knit her brows as he said, "Young Master, but this is the sea. Compared to the Ark Continent, this place is much larger. It's possible that there are innumerable experts here. Do we really need to take part in this conflict?"

Among his wives, only Meg kept calling him Young Master, even if they had already been married for so long. This made Zhao Hai feel strange, he had already told Meg about this many times, but Meg seems to not be willing to change it.

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Even if there are a lot of experts in the sea, don't we have much more? This time, I want to talk about the Divine Realm with the Sea King. The Fishman has the most population in this world. If they can help us deal with the Divine Race and the Demons, then we would have a much easier time doing so.

Laura nodded, "If that's true, then that would be good. But Brother Hai, I'm afraid this would be more difficult than we imagine. After all, the war in the seas among the Fishman is much different compared to other places.

Zhao Hai showed a faint smile and said, "I've already had Cai'er prepare for this. There are now 9th rank undeads in the Space, and some of them are creatures of the sea. They should be stronger in terms of undersea battles. With the help of those guys, I think we won't have much of a problem."

When she heard Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but smile and said, "So Brother Hai had already thought of it. Then we might only have small troubles undersea. But unfortunately, we can't go underwater."

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Why couldn't we? I've already asked Cai'er to transform a Blade Scale Whale into an undead like Alien. When the time comes, we can just ride the whale and then go underwater."

Megan became happy after she heard Zhao Hai, "Fantastic. I really wanted to see what the bottom of the sea looks like. I didn't expect Big Brother Hai to be already prepared. So when do we go?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry. If we go now, the Rock Shrimps might get offended. It's much better to wait for the Rock Shrimp Patriarch to come back with news. I don't think it would take him long to come back. Let's just wait for him for a few days."

Megan pouted her mouth before she nodded. Zhao Hai smiled, he also wanted to go underwater but it was not yet the time. He still hasn’t gained the approval of the Sea King. If he were to enter the seas right now, he would get attacked by them.

Although he was on his ship, Zhao Hai's contact with the continent remained unbroken. Neither his business with the Beastmen nor Dwarves were getting affected.

Seven days later, Zhao Hai, who had been paying attention for the Rock Shrimps, suddenly spotted the Rock Shrimps along with their Patriarch. Zhao Hai immediately went to the ship's deck. And sure enough, as soon as he arrived on top of the deck, he heard a Rock Shrimp say, "We request to see Mister Zhao Hai."

Then Zhao Hai led Laura and the others to the bow of the ship to see the Rock Shrimp Patriarch. Seeing the old Shrimp's tired face, Zhao hai immediately gave a bow and said, "I've seen the Patriarch."

The Rock Shrimp Patriarch returned the bow as he said, "The Sea King agreed to have an audience with mister. Please follow me."

Zhao Hai quickly responded, "Thanks, Patriarch." Then the Rock Shrimp Patriarch nodded and then rode the bow of the ship. Zhao Hai knew that this was for him to guide the ship. So Zhao Hai immediately had the undead raise the anchor while hoisting the sails as he followed the Rock Shrimps towards the deeper parts of the sea.

A lot of Rock Shrimps were swimming alongside Zhao Hai's ship. Seeing the Rock Shrimp Patriarch and the others, Zhao Hai was not sure if this was an escort or surveillance.

Zhao Hai and the others sat in the ship while looking at the monitor to see the situation. The ocean was indeed very big that it seemed limitless. The Haven was considered to be quick for a merchant ship. But compared to the Rock Shrimps, it was having a hard time catching up.

Moreover, Zhao Hai discovered that the route that they were taking was very safe. They were completely safe along the way. They didn't encounter any attacks, nor did they encounter any reefs or unpredictable undercurrents.

At night, the Rock Shrimp Patriarch would lead his people to rest in the sea. Zhao Hai also stopped his ship and waited for the next day. This cycle was repeated for ten days.

In these ten days, Zhao Hai already saw a lot of Sea Tribes. There were Turtles as well as numerous Fishes. Because of their numbers, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to correctly identify each one of them.

And these tribes always came to the Rock Shrimp patriarch since they were encroaching on their domain, there were even some who were intending to rob them. However, when the Rock Shrimp Patriarch showed a token, the opposite party allowed them to pass. But although they were allowed passage, the Fishmen still looked at Zhao Hai with curiosity.

Zhao Hai also knew that this was because of the long time where there was no contact between Humans and the Fishmen. So when they saw him, it was natural that they would feel interested.

In these ten days, Zhao Hai was expecting that he would be led to the Sea King. But he didn't expect the Rock Shrimp Patriarch to bring him to the Swordfish Tribe's Domain.

The reason why Zhao Hai identified the other party was because of their very special mounts. Their mounts had a very long bone spike that can be used as a spear, it looked very hard. Moreover, the fish was very big, about ten meters in length. On its back were big fins, which seemed to express power and prestige.

Riding atop these swordfishes were people who had the same kind of fins on their heads, looking like a well combed hair. The person was holding a long bone spear and was about two meters in height. It's black skin looked slippery with mucus while he wore armor made of shells and seaweeds. He looked like a very powerful warrior.
