Zhao Hai had never considered himself a Saint. He was just an ordinary citizen and was a little selfish. He had never thought of being a hero, nor did he think that he would become a saint one day. He just wanted to live a more comfortable life and make the people who followed him live a more comfortable life.
Laura also knew Zhao Haiâs thoughts. However, she didnât think there was anything wrong with his thoughts. Wasnât it a manâs responsibility to make his loved ones live better? If you canât even take care of your own family and still try to help others, then youâre either a Saint or a hypocrite, and neither of these people are suitable to be a husband.
Lola nodded. &Quot; we can only wait for something to happen before we decide what to do. I hope the result isnât too bad. &Quot;
At this time, meg had brought over a pen washi. Zhao Hai began to write to Weyers. The information he had received today was very important, and he had to let Weyers know.
After writing a letter to Weyers, Zhao Hai and the others went to rest. After all, it was getting late. However, they didnât know that Ybel woke up immediately after returning to his tent.
Pretending to be drunk was a basic skill that any businessman would know. Of course, a wily old fox like Ibel knew how to do it too, and he was very good at it.
How could a merchant not know how to drink? although the milk wine Zhao Hai brought out had a high alcohol content, someone like Ebel, who was tested by alcohol, could get used to it quickly. He just had to pretend to be drunk so that he could return to his tent.
After returning to the tent, Ibel immediately drank a few glasses of cold water and felt better. Then, he ate a few fruits and his mind was completely clear.
Casey, who had been standing at the side, said when he saw that Ibel had stopped, â âMaster, Zhao Hai has been holding back when he spoke to you. Youâve asked him many questions, but he didnât answer them. Why did you tell him so much information?â
Iber shook his head and said, â &Quot; itâs normal for Zhao Hai to not trust me. Iâm sure that if I wasnât a member of the Alliance, Zhao Hai wouldnât have come to contact me. He might even deal with me. Heâs not a good person, and he has the ability to do so. Now, in the entire Arkas Empire, except for a few people, almost all the major nobles want to deal with Zhao Hai. They want Zhao Hai and Laura to give up their businesses that they have been running for many years. This kind of hatred can not be erased.âIt can be said that Zhao Hai doesnât trust anyone now. Itâs already very good that he came to me. Besides, what heâs doing is beneficial to the Alliance, so why canât I tell him? although he didnât tell me his secret, what he did was for the sake of the Alliance. Just wait and see. This time, the Church of Light is in trouble. Their power in the grasslands will suffer an unprecedented blow.â
Casey did not object to Iberâs words. He knew that Iber was right. Zhao Hai would not let go of this opportunity to attack the Church of Light. He had a huge grudge against the Church of Light.
Iber calmed himself down and turned to Casey. &Quot; âDid you drink the milk wine that Zhao Hai brought out today? How do you feel?â
âMoney!â Caseyâs eyes sparkled with gold.
Iber laughed at Caseyâs reaction. &Quot; youâre right. Itâs money, a lot of money. Hahaha, this wine is a huge business opportunity. I believe that Zhao Hai gave it to me because Iâm a member of the Alliance. Otherwise, he wouldnât have given me such a good business. The milk wine is so fragrant. Look at the beastmen. Iâm afraid theyâve never had such a good milk wine in their lives. They might not have thought that it would be so delicious. &Quot;
Casey pouted. To be honest, that milk wine was the best wine he had ever had in his life. Although it was not the kind of fruit wine he was used to drinking, the taste really made him unable to stop.
Iber looked at Casey and smiled. &Quot; âDonât think too much. Have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow, weâll have a good talk with Zhao Hai about the milk wine cooperation.â
Casey nodded. After helping Eber to sleep, he retreated out of the tent. Casey was Eberâs most trusted aide and knew everything about him. In fact, he had grown up with Eber. Because of this, he did not address him as master like the others. He was very casual with his words.
The next morning, before Ibel could discuss the milk wine with Zhao Hai, the camp was already bustling with activity. It was because Zhao Haiâs fourth batch of food had arrived at King Sichiâs camp.
Looking at the row of carriages, Iber did not feel anything. When he sent food to King Sichiâs camp, he had more carriages than Zhao Hai. He just did not expect the orcs to welcome Zhao Hai so much.
Zhao Hai didnât even need to arrange for people to unload the food that Zhao Hai brought to King Siqiâs camp. Those orcs swarmed up like a swarm of bees and robbed all the food in a short time.
There was no more food. Zhao Hai immediately sent the food team away. Outside the camp, the sheep were ready, waiting for him to pick them up.
Eber also noticed that Zhao Haiâs fleet was full of undead creatures. This made Eber envious. Zhao Hai had hired many people for his fleet, and those people needed money. On the other hand, Zhao Haiâs fleet was full of undead creatures. Not only was it safe to use, but he also didnât have to spend a single cent. He could even save on food.
Ybel did not think much of Zhao Haiâs decision to lower the grain price. The orcs were in dire need of food. Zhao Haiâs grain would not be able to do anything in the orc prairies. Furthermore, Ybel knew Zhao Haiâs identity. He thought that Zhao Hai was doing this to gather information, so he did not mind.
To be honest, after drinking the milk wine that Zhao Hai had brought, Ibel almost wanted to give up on transporting grain to the grasslands. It was very risky and arduous to transport grain to the grasslands. Milk wine was definitely the only thing on the continent. It was hard not to make money from this business. Hence, Ibel was ready to put his heart into milk wine.
However, as soon as the food team left, betta came. This forced Ebel to postpone her plan to find Zhao Hai again. This made Ebel very impatient.
Naturally, betta was here to deliver the condiments to Zhao Hai. This time, he had brought quite a lot of condiments. Other than a few that he had seen at Spearâs place, Zhao Hai had never seen the rest. However, when he threw the condiments into the origin space, he had failed. Although the origin space had a notification, the rating was not high. Naturally, it was impossible for it to be graded. This made Zhao Hai very depressed.
However, he still gave the milk wine to betta. No matter what, betta was good to him. He still wanted to be friends with betta, so he gave betta 50 pounds of milk wine.
After sending betta off, Iber immediately went to find Zhao Hai. He was afraid that someone would disturb them again. Zhao Hai could not help but laugh when he saw Iberâs expression.
After the two of them sat down in the tent, Laura served them milk tea. Iber smiled at Zhao Hai and said, â âBrother Zhao Hai, I see that youâre quite used to the beastmenâs life. You donât even drink Keya anymore and are drinking milk tea instead.â
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I like the taste of milk tea, but Iâm not used to the milk tea here. I made this myself. Try it. &Quot;
Ebel smiled and tried the milk tea made by Zhao Hai. It was indeed delicious. Ebel also realized that it was not because Zhao Hai was good at cooking, but because the milk he used was good. It was not goatâs milk, but the milk of a magical beast that he had never seen before. It was fragrant and delicious.
After putting down the teacup, Iber smiled and said, â âI wonât stand on ceremony with you. Iâm here today to talk to you about milk wine. Tell me, how much milk wine can you provide me?â
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; well, with the current rate of progress, I can get about 1000 Jin in a month. Although itâs not much, itâs already the limit. &Quot;
&Quot; thatâs quite a lot, â Ibel said with a smile. &Quot; itâs already beyond my expectations. You know, Iâm the one who made milk wine into the best quality. What do you think about the price? â
âWhat do you think?â Zhao Hai smiled. I donât know much about the price of alcohol.â
&Quot; I think itâll be three gold coins a bottle, â Ibel said with a smile. &Quot; one pound per bottle. What do you think? â
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; alright, you decide the price. How about this? Iâll sell it to you for two gold coins per catty, and you sell it for three gold coins. What do you think? â
Ebel was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, â &Quot; okay, letâs do it this way. To be honest, I feel like Iâve taken advantage of the situation. I can make a net profit of one gold coin per 500 grams. By the way, How do I receive the goods? â
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; thereâs no rush. How about this? I donât have time to return to the human race now. When spring comes tomorrow, our deal will officially begin. Iâll tell you where to pick up the goods. What do you think? â
Ibel frowned. He felt that it was a little too long, but he knew that Zhao Hai was here to collect information for Weyers, so he didnât say anything. He just nodded and said, &Quot; alright, itâs a deal then. Iâll wait for your news. Iâm going back tomorrow, so you should be able to find me easily in the territory of the icksa family. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; I still have to thank you for giving me so much information. By the way, I have something to tell you. Can you help me issue a mercenary mission in your business? â The mission is to collect rare plants and magical beasts, the more the better. All of them must be alive, and the price will be good.â
These days, Ebel had learned about Zhao Haiâs habit. He didnât say anything and just nodded.âNo problem, donât worry.â After saying his goodbyes, Zhao Hai sent the team out of the tent.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
