In the three-dimensional map, there were no green dots, same as the last time he checked.
Ash sighed. He was preparing to wait two more days. In two days, if the green dots didn't reappear, then he'll send Eva out to check if the spirit beasts really did leave.
Meg was standing beside Ash , also looking at the screen. But she didn't know how to operate it. It seemed like Ash was the only one who could do anything in this space.
For example, Aiden had tried to pick up the small shovels and buckets, but it was like they were nailed to the ground. Even with his strength, he couldn't move them.
Meg understood that the red dots represented the spirit beasts. Since they were concerned, they've kept up to date with the situation outside, so she knew that there were no spirit beasts on the screen the last time Ash checked. When Eva wanted to go out and see, Ash stopped her. Eva didn't oppose his decision, knowing that he was worried.
But seeing that there were no red dots again, Meg said with urgency, "Master, there are no spirit beasts outside, let me go out and see. With my speed, there will be no danger."
Ash shook his head. "Now is not the time. Those spirit beasts might have disappeared, but they could still be out there beyond the moat. And what if there was poison throughout the castle. If we rush out there, we might find some trouble. Let's stay in the space for another day or two, just for some added insurance."
Although Meg didn't agree with what Ash said, she still nodded, but then she suddenly noticed something on the screen. "Master, what's that green dot?"
Ash's attention wasn't on the screen, so he didn't notice the red dot until Meg pointed it out. He turned and looked. There really was a red dot on the screen! And it was moving so fast!
The red dot was quickly moving through the main rooms of the castle. Ash was surprised because he had never seen it before. He immediately tried to press the red dot on the screen, but it was moving with such a fast speed, he couldn't hit it. The only thing he could do was summon up the living room view and quietly wait for the red dot to end up there.
Meg was also looking at the screen, but occasionally her eyes would flick up to the upper left corner where there was a reduced sized three-dimensional map of the castle. She was able to see the movement of the red dot as it explored the rooms.
Soon the red dot was going down from the third floor and was now moving towards the living room. Ash and Meg concentrated on the living room, and soon the red dot ended up there.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed on the screen, and a man appeared in the room. Ash and Meg cried out in joy at the sight of the man. It was Green!
Seeing Green, Meg grabbed Ash's shoulder. "Master, it's Grandpa! Grandpa came back! He's looking for us."
Asg nodded. With a thought, a misty hole suddenly appeared in front of Green, followed by Ash's voice. "Grandpa Green, come in."
Green felt anxious. He had been back in the Black Waste for the past two days.
When Green had first left the Black Waste, he went to the Purcell duchy, which was a subsidiary of the Purple Star imperial principality. This duchy was ruled by Evan Purcell. Because of the fact that the Black Waste was located behind it, there would be no threat from that direction, so the duchy was able to grow and become one of the most developed economic regions in the Aksu Empire, making Duke Evan very powerful.
It was worth mentioning that the Purcell clan and the Anderson clan had a very secret relationship. Evan's favorite daughter, Rui Purcell, who was the future Duchess, was supposed to marry Ash Anderson. Normally, Rui would be the previous Ash's fiancee, but now she was tramsmigrated Ash's fiancee.
But anyone on the Continent with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was impossible for the Purcell clan to recognize this marriage. That was because everyone was aware that there was no real love or friendship between the nobles. Ash's and Rui's marriage was only for political purposes.
So when the Anderson clan was in trouble, the Purcell clan didn't help them, and instead selectively chose to forget about the Anderson clan. Even when the Anderson clan had to cross over the Purcell duchy to get to the Black Waste for their exile, the Purcell clan didn't come forward to meet them, adding insult to injury.
Still, Green recognized that the Purcell clan really ran their territory well, and it was precisely because of this that it was able to become a duchy.
Because of the well-developed territory, even the living standards of the ordinary commoners was relatively high. It would be easy to sell some magic radishes here.
Once Green went into the duchy, he found a large magic vegetable supplier, and talked to him a little about the price of radishes.
Eighty thousand catty of radishes was a lot, but it would be impossible for just that much to impact the Empire's radish market, even if the Empire was only a small principality.
But it wasn't as simple as Ash just having eighty thousand catty of radishes. If Ash wished to, he could grow three batches of radishes a day, adding up to two hundred and forty thousand catty of radishes. Two hundred and forty thousand catty of radishes per day? What kind of concept was that? Would there even be enough people in the Purple Star Empire to eat all of those radishes?
The radishes produced on the Continent weren't as great as the magic radish. Ordinary radishes had an acrid taste. But the magic radishes produced in the space were long, straight, and fat. Plus, they were crunchy with a sweet taste. In short, they will be very popular.
Because of the quality of the magic radish, the Markey Company bought them at eight times the market price, having decided on a batch of one hundred thousand catty per month. But this was just the initial number. If the radishes sold well, they were going to buy more.
While conducting business in the Purcell Duchy, Green happened to hear some mercenaries talking about an outbreak of spirit beasts from the carrion swamp. This news made his heart sink, so Green immediately ran back to the Black Waste.
However, he couldn't make it to the castle. There were too many undead spirit beasts. Green had no choice but to wait on the outer edge of the Black Waste for two days. He was so anxious, it felt like fire ants were crawling all over his body.
How could Green know that there would be an outbreak of undead spirit beasts from the carrion swamp. He had originally lived in the Purple Star imperial capital, where the activities of the Black Waste wasn't well understood. They knew that it was a place of death and that no one went there, but the information about it was vague. There were only rumors that there would be an outbreak of spirit beasts every decade or two, and the last time there was an outbreak was two years ago. Although it was just rumors, everyone on the Continent agreed that the outbreaks came in a steady rhythm.
It was because of this that Green didn't spend so much on the castle's defenses. So when he heard about the outbreak of spirit beasts, it was like being hit with a hammer. He was afraid that Ash would be hurt. If something happened to him, then the Anderson clan was finished.
As Ash expected, the undead spirit beasts were wandering around on the Black Waste.
Fortunately, there were no longer any undead spirit beasts in the castle, nor did they break the gate or destroy the defensive walls. They were only able to get into the castle by climbing the walls, break everything inside, then climb back out.
It had to be recognized that even the most ordinary spirit beast was stronger than any animal on Earth. If there were lions and tigers on the Atlanta Continent, they would starve.
When Green saw that everything inside the castle was destroyed, his heart froze, but he didn't panic like an ordinary person would. When he was young, he fought alongside Ash's grandfather, and later his father, on the battlefield, so he had a lot of combat experience. It only took him a couple of seconds to realize that something was wrong.
There were no signs of fighting in the castle!
Although everything was destroyed, Green could see that there wasn't a trace of blood. The spirit beasts were probably venting their anger when they found nobody in the castle.
To make sure, Green carefully explored every room, finding no one. The only explanation he could come up with was that everyone had suddenly disappeared.
Just then, a misty hole appeared in the living room, followed by Zhao's voice. "Grandpa Green, come in."
Green appeared in the spatial farm, right on the edge of the oil fruit fields. The trees had not beared fruit yet, and there were slaves nearby carefully learning how to read.
Eva was next to the slaves, but she was the first one to notice that he had returned. "Green, you're back!" she immediately said.
