Chapter 650 – Seeing Their Reaction

Zhao Hai was going in good graces with the Elves with him wanting to repair their Divine Artifact. But how about them? After waiting for a long time for their reply, they were still quite silent about the matter. This made Zhao Hai speechless.

However, Zhao Hai would still want to have a proper response from the Elven Race. Therefore, he nodded and said, "Alright, then we'll wait for the Elves' response while I head to the Beastman Prairie. I'll also have the Beast King sign this scroll, the same with the Fishman Race. As soon as the Elves send word, then use this to inform me." Then Zhao Hai took out a Messenger Fish and gave to Billy.

Billy looked curiously at the fishes, he had never heard of such a thing before. He continued to look at the swimming fish inside the bottles, then he turned to Zhao Hai and said, "This thing can directly speak to you?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Right, but not just me. It can also make you speak with other people. I don't have a lot of Messenger Fishes, but here's ten. You can give them to your people so that you can more conveniently communicate with them." Then he took out ten more bottles and handed them over to Billy, who received it with great happiness.

Zhao Hai also discussed some things with Billy. They weren't something important, he just told Billy to not make any other moves and just keep doing what they were originally doing. However, he also made them get more alert to their surroundings. After that, Zhao Hai left the Dwarf Mountain and headed to the Beastman Prairie.

Zhao Hai went directly to the Beast King Palace. After Zhao Hai left, the people in the Palace were already instructed by the Beast King, Zhao Hai wouldn't need to wait for approval in visiting the Palace, just have him enter immediately. However, Zhao Hai didn't want to neglect standard procedure. So he went to the reception first before he was immediately escorted into the palace.

The Beast King didn't hear much news from the continent. After all, the Prairie was too remote for information to quickly come through. Therefore, the Beast King was very surprised by Zhao Hai's sudden appearance. However, he still greeted Zhao Hai and sat with him in the living room.

After having sat down, the Beast King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Why did you come? Did something happen?"

Zhao Hai nodded, then he sighed, "Something significant just happened. Yesterday, the Ocean Waves Dynasty suddenly announced that they would be handing the throne over to the Radiant Church. Now, the Dynasty no longer exists and was replaced by the Radiant Church. It is now called Radiant Empire and is fully controlled by the Radiant Church's officials. At the same time, the Dragons suddenly came out of Accra Mountain and extinguished the Lyon Imperial Clan. After that, they founded the Saint Dragon Empire and had formed an alliance with the Radiant Church."

The Beast King stared for a moment before his expression changed. He immediately understood what this meant. As if by habit, he stood up and walked back and forth two times before he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "The Dragons must be destroyed. Their name is too famous that it instills fear to the people. If this continues, we wouldn't be able to fight."

Zhao Hai stared at the Beast King, he didn't expect him to understand the core of the matter. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, I was planning to do exactly just that. I only came here to inform you of this matter while also reminding you to be alert. The Radiant Church might come and deal with you. Now that they have the help of the Dragons, they can come and attack you at any moment. Therefore, you must strengthen your defenses."

The Beast King nodded and then he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Do you want us to dispatch some troops to deal with the Dragons?"

Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "No need, I can deal with them myself. However, I need your help to sign this." Then he handed the beast skin scroll over.

The Beast King read the scroll before marking it with the brand of the Beastmen. There's nothing special in this scroll, it just mentioned the relationship between the Radiant Church and the Divine Race. It also contained the story regarding the Divine Race as well as the Demon Realm. This was something that Zhao Hai planned to show the Emperors of the nations as well as the Patriarchs of various Great Clans. He planned to have the signatures of the Beastmen, the Dwarves, the Fishmen, and the Elves before showing this scroll to the others. They needed to understand that they were currently facing the same enemy!

The Beast King approved of Zhao Hai's procedure. He's a King therefore he knew that since the Radiant Church and the Dragons have begun, it was also time for Zhao Hai to make his move. Therefore, Zhao Hai prepared this scroll ahead of time so that when he goes to the Humans, they would immediately unite against the great tribulation that was coming.

After the Beast King signed the scroll, Zhao Hai immediately took out a Messenger Fish bottle and handed it over to the Beast King while explaining its function. Then he took out 10 more bottles for the Beast King to use. This made the King very happy. Although the Beastmen had hawks for communication, they still fell quite short compared to the Messenger Fish.

After handling the matters of the Beastmen, Zhao Hai immediately returned to the Space. Laura and the others were also waiting for him inside. To be honest, they were still shaken dizzy by the news that they didn't know what to do.

Seeing that Zhao Hai had come back, Laura and the others immediately went to him and said, "Brother Hai, what do we do now? Will we go and extinguish the Dragons?'

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's the only thing we could do in order to keep the damage at the minimum. Their bodies are too tough while they have huge strength. They shouldn't have appeared in the continent, but they had actually sided themselves with the Divine Race. In the Fishman records, these Dragons had become the vanguard of the Divine Race's war. One could say that the Dragons would do the brunt of the work while the God would move once in a while. It was only because of the Divine Artifacts injuring the God that the war had ended. With this information, it would be impossible for us to just let the Dragons roam free while waiting for the attack from the Divine Race."

Laura nodded, she also knew that in the previous war, the Divine Race had only sent one person to do the job. The main force of the combat came into the hands of the Dragons and their Lesser Dragon subordinates along with some rebels from the Ark Continent's side. The moves that the Divine Race God had done was actually quite a few. Therefore, Zhao Hai's plan to eliminate the Dragons was quite understandable.

After she gave a nod, Laura asked, "So when do we begin?" At this point, Laura was very confident. Zhao Hai had a lot of 9th rank undead, several millions of them. With this number of 9th ranks, even if the Dragons were formidable, they still couldn't stand a chance against Zhao Hao's force.

Zhao Hai thought for a moment and said, "Let's not be too quick about this. Let's have the Dragons savor their victory for a few days. We'll wait after we get the Elves' signature before beginning. Hmph. The Dragon Clan and the Radiant Church had just obtained their countries, so they still need to stabilize their situation. We still have time."

Laura nodded. Although the Dragon Race and the Radiant Church didn't take too much work in usurping the two nations since they had the support of the nobles, the countries still had a massive amount of commoners that needed to be appeased. Although the countries haven't experience war this time, they were still susceptible for rebellion. It will still take quite some time before they fully stabilize their situation.

If other forces were to suddenly extinguish the Lyon Empire, then the Rosen Empire and the Buddha Empire would certainly dispatch their army. And even if they couldn't defeat them, at the very least they could still get some profits off of them. However, since the new rulers of the Lyon Empire were Dragons, the Buddha and Rosen Empires have chosen to refrain from sending troops and instead just recognize the Dragons' sovereignty over the Empire.

This was also the reason why Zhao Hai chose to eliminate the Dragons!

The reputation of the Dragons in the continent was just too big. They were basically synonymous with invincibility, every race were afraid of them. This reputation was exactly what was left of their conquest in helping the Divine Race. The Human records have been changed severely that the strength of the Dragons was the only one that was left written down.

Zhao Hai saw this as something that the Radiant Church had done. They had changed the history of the Humans while leaving behind the legend of the Dragon Race. This was to control the mindset of the future generations whenever they decide to deal with the legendary beings in Accra Mountain.

All of this caused Zhao Hai to think about extinguishing the Dragon Race. First was to avoid further disaster, second, to break an arm of the Divine Race, and third, to let people understand that Dragons aren't invincible.

Naturally, if Zhao Hai didn't exist, then the Dragons would surely be close to being invincible. After all, in addition to their innate strengths, their bodies were quite tough as well. Most importantly, they were capable of flight. This was something that the continent would deem as a nightmare.

But unfortunately for them, Zhao Hai had appeared in the continent. Even if the Dragons were quite close to being invincible, Zhao Hai would still make sure to break their reputation.

Although he had decided on his action, Zhao Hai was still carefully calculating his moves. He didn't want something to suddenly happen and undermine his plans.

After carefully thinking about everything, Zhao Hai started to feel relieved. In fact, Zhao Hai also understood that even if the Divine Race would make a sudden move, he could still get all of the people in the continent to transfer to his Space. In addition to the main world, Zhao Hai also had an additional 20 backgrounds to live in. More importantly, security wasn't a problem while inside the Space.

It was because of this assurance that Zhao Hai dared to go against the Divine Race. As long as he had the Space, Zhao Hai believed that he would be able to defeat them.

After resting for one day, Zhao Hai said his farewells to Luo Ying before riding the blade scale whale and heading towards Mermaid Island. Zhao Hai didn't use his Space to go there since he wanted to use this time to wait for the response from the Elves. At the same time, he also wanted to know how the Fishmen respond after hearing the recent news.

Chapter 651 – Startling the Mermaid Queen

Zhao Hai wasn't worried about the Beastmen and the Dwarves. He had fixed their Divine Artifact, making them grateful to him. Because of this, Zhao Hao told them his plans as soon as he can.


However, Zhao Hai was still in deep suspicion towards the Elves. He didn't know if this was really their nature, or there was a hidden plot happening that made them delay the matter. Because of this, Zhao Hai plans to wait for their reaction. Zhao Hai wasn't afraid that the Elves would tell the Dragons about his inquiries, after all, he was already unmatched in the whole of Ark Continent.

As for the Fishmen, Zhao Hai didn't worry about them at all. The Fishmen had great enmity with the Divine Race, which also transferred to the Dragon Clan and the Radiant Church. Zhao Hai was extremely comfortable with them being in his side.

However, Zhao Hai also knew how careful the Fishmen were. Otherwise, they wouldn't have founded the Sea God's Merchant Union in order to get news from the continent. And it was for certain that the Mermaids had already received the news about the Radiant Church and the Dragons. Zhao Hai wanted to see their response upon receiving this information.

One must know that for these big races, there was no enmity that can't be solved. Anything can happen in the name of benefit. If the Fishmen really did think that the Divine Race was powerful, then they may stop their alliance with Zhao Hai.

The Beastmen and the Dwarves have their own Divine Artifacts, so they already knew that their races were also hostile to the Radiant Church's patrons. This made it impossible for them to side with the Radiant Church for benefit. Therefore, they sided with Zhao Hai to deal with the Radiant Church.

On the other hand, the Fishmen might not know about the relationship between their Sea God and the Radiant Church in the Divine Realm. This was due to them not being in the records of the Dwarves during the past great war. Therefore, Zhao Hai had some doubts about their actions and wanted to see how they would respond when faced with the current situation.

Zhao Hai proceeded onward, he didn't rush in the daytime and he rested properly during the night. At the same time, he was also paying attention to the situation on the continent through the Space. Now that Kun and the others were in possession of the Messenger Fishes, Zhao Hai was able to have a dialog with them in the past few days.

What Zhao Hai didn't expect was the fact that his popularity among the Fishmen had become quite high. In the eyes of the Fishmen, the conclusion of their recent rebellion was only reached due to Zhao Hai's actions. So no matter which Fishman Tribe he meets, all of them were extremely hospitable towards Zhao Hai. They were quite polite and even brought him some gifts. At the same time, some of them even agreed to having a business cooperation with the Buda Clan.

Although the Fishman Race were mostly self-sufficient, they still want to have other things. Of course, Zhao Hai didn't decline these offerings. Almost every Fishman tribe can offer him with unique things to trade for, this made Zhao Hai very glad when forming his business partnerships.

The Fishmen liked Human bottles, ironworks, wooden furnitures, cotton fabrics, and many more. Although things in the sea might get reduced by trading with Zhao Hai, it was still fine since Zhao Hai only needed common marine products. For the Fishmen, these things can basically be seen everywhere, there was no need for them to exert so much effort in acquiring them.

Zhao Hai certainly didn't think that he would have this good of a reception among the Fishmen. One must know that Dark Mages in the continent never did have a good reputation. Those who were calm in front of Zhao Hai were only those who had come in contact with him face to face. As for the other people, all of them would be terrified by the mere mention of Zhao Hai's name. After all, this was a person that can turn several hundred thousand people into undead.

Three days later, Zhao Hai had finally arrived at Mermaid Island's region. But when he arrived, he was actually stopped by a group of Swordfish tribesmen, it seems like they weren’t able to recognize Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai can also see that they didn't come with unfavorable intention. So he went out of the Blade Scale Whale and gave a slight bow before saying, "Might I know why I am being blocked?" The leader of the Swordfish group immediately gave a salute to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, the Queen has something important to discuss with you. We ask mister to please head towards Mermaid Island."

When he heard this, Zhao Hai nodded and then said, "Can I know why Her Majesty is looking for me?' Naturally, Zhao Hai knew why the Queen was looking for her, he was just asking for formality.

The Swordfish tribesman shook his head and said, "I'll be unfair to mister, but I really don't know. Her Majesty didn't tell us, she just gave instructions to invite you over to the island."

Zhao Hai nodded, "Alright, then I'll be troubling you to lead me there." The Swordfishes immediately turned their mounts around and swam towards mermaid Island. Behind them, Zhao Hai urged the Blade Scale Whale to follow.

The Blade Scale Whale wasn't known for its speed, however, Zhao Hai's Blade Scale Whale was a 9th rank undead. So how could it be any slower? It was able to comfortable keep up with the speed of the Swordfish group.

This startled the people from the Swordfish tribe. They were famed for their speed, so how could Zhao Hai's whale able to keep up with their speed, this was something unexpected.

After advancing for two days, Zhao Hai had finally arrived at Mermaid Island. There were no changes in the island, the Whales were still in charge of guarding it. When they reached the island, the Swordfishes left Zhao Hai and handed the task of leading Zhao Hai over to the Whales.

After entering the island, Zhao Hai stepped on the back of the turtles as he went to through the pillars and arriving in front of the Mermaid Palace.

When he arrived at the Palace, Zhao Hai can already see Lola waiting for him. When she saw that Zhao Hai had come, Lola stepped forward and greeted him, "Mister, please come with me. Her Majesty is already waiting for you." Zhao Hai nodded and then followed Lola towards the inner hall.

The Queen was already in her throne when Zhao Hai came in. When she saw Zhao Hai, she couldn't help but move. Her tail vanished and turned into feet, at the same time, her throne had turned into an ordinary chair.

The Queen stood up and said, "Mister, have a seat."

Zhao hai gave a bow and replied, "Thank you, Your Majesty." Then the group saw inside the hall.

The Queen opened her mouth first "Mister, you've helped us greatly this time. The rebellion wouldn't have ended this soon if not for your help." Then she gave Zhao Hai a bow.

Zhao Hai stood up to return the courtesy before he quickly said, "Your Majesty is too polite. It's just a little effort, it’s not worth mentioning."

The Queen didn't delay the matter as she looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister, are you aware of the recent developments in the continent?"

Zhao Hai knew that the main topic had come. He didn't hide anything from the Queen, so he nodded and said, "I do. The Dragons and the Radiant Church made their move and controlled two big Empires of the Continent. At this time, they should be stabilizing their rule over their subjects."

The Queen didn't expect Zhao Hai to already be aware of the news. One should know that as soon as the Queen heard the news, she immediately sent people to look for Zhao Hai. He should be unaware of this news since he had always been in the sea. Zhao Hai already knowing this information gave the Queen an estimate of Zhao Hai's resources.

So she just nodded and said, "Right, its that. May I know what Mister thinks? Do we need to make a move?"

When he head the Queen, Zhao Hai's worries had completely vanished. He smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty doesn't need to worry much about this. I already have a plan."

The Queen stared, she was confused at what Zhao Hai meant, "What I just wanted to know is what plans Zhao Hai has already made."

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "I also need Her Majesty's help for this plan. I'm prepared to deal with the Dragons, and I want Your Majesty to keep the Ocean Waves Dynasty away from supporting the Lyon Empire. As for the other things, leave everything to me."

The Queen thought for a moment before she nodded and said, "This isn't difficult matter. However, is Mister confident with dealing with the Dragons? They're title of invincibility isn't without proof.

Zhao Hai just smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, I have complete confidence in my strength. The reason why I still haven't attacked them was because I needed to discuss the matter of the Ocean Waves Dynasty with Your Majesty. At the same time, I am also waiting for the response from the Elven Race. As long as information arrives, then I will immediately head to the Elven Forest. And after that, I will then go and deal with the Dragon Race."

The Queen stared for a moment before she nodded, "Alright, then we shall wait for mister's word. When the time comes, we shall fully coordinate with you."

Zhao Hai gave a nod and said, "I'll have to thank Your Majesty. Right, I also need Your Majesty to sign this." Then he took out the beast skin scroll and handed it over to the Queen.

When the Queen received the scroll and saw the marks of the Beastmen and the Dwarves, she didn't hesitate and also marked the scroll with the Fishman Race's unique mark.

Then Zhao Hai took out a bottle of Messenger Fish and gave it to the Queen, "Your Highness, this is a Messenger Fish that I have specially bred. As long as Your Majesty has this fish, you can speak to it directly and I shall immediately hear your message."

The Queen received Zhao Hai's Messenger Fish. Naturally, she was very familiar regarding these creatures. However, she didn’t think that Zhao Hai would also have them. Moreover, it seems like Zhao Hai's breed was more advanced. This startled the Queen, the Mermaid Race had been religiously doing research on marine life. Because of this, they had more understanding with regards to beings of the sea than anyone in this world. The mere fact that Zhao Hai was able to produce a more advanced Messenger Fish made the Queen freeze from shock.
