Alodia didn't disappoint Laura and the others. After arriving at Casa City, he really did make a move. Of course, his actions couldn't be hidden from Laura, and it was obvious that he didn't want to hide it from her. However, Alodia's first stop made Laura somewhat surprised. His first stop wasn't any other place, but the Grand Duke's Mansion.
Laura didn't think that Alodia's first stop would be the Grand Duke's Mansion. This was somewhat beyond her expectations, but after thinking about it, it was also reasonable.
No matter what, Alodia was now representing Carlo. Carlo was also one of the Markey Dell clan's successors, and had more hope than Karen to become the clan's head. Alodia was representing him, so naturally, he would pay a visit to Grand Duke Evan.
However, Laura was also careful. She thought that Alodia's visit to Grand Duke Evan wasn't that simple. Now that everyone on the continent knew that she had helped the Purcell clan, she had also helped Grand Duke Evan. It could be said that Grand Duke Evan was her backer. If they wanted to move against her, they would first have to deal with her backer.
This time, Alodia obviously came for the Taoyuan products. The Taoyuan products were the most important thing in Laura's hands, so it was impossible for her to let them go. If they wanted to get the Taoyuan products, then they would have to use some means. However, in the Purcell Duchy, if they wanted to use any means against Laura, then they would have to first deal with Grand Duke Evan. Even if they couldn't get Grand Duke Evan to help them deal with Laura, they couldn't let Grand Duke Evan protect her.
When Laura saw Alodia go to the Grand Duke's Mansion, she naturally immediately thought of this point. However, she had no way to stop it. After all, Alodia was officially going to pay a visit to Grand Duke Evan. How could she stop it?
This was an open conspiracy of Alodia's. Even if Laura knew about it, she couldn't do anything about it. However, Laura didn't think about stopping it. She just wanted to see how far Alodia could go. If Alodia could really persuade Grand Duke Evan, then Laura would really be disappointed.
However, Laura wasn't worried. Even if Alodia persuaded Grand Duke Evan, Grand Duke Evan wouldn't protect her. She still had Zhao Hai. If Laura's trust in Grand Duke Evan was ten, then her trust in Zhao Hai was one hundred.
Although Laura didn't stop Alodia from going to see Grand Duke Evan, her surveillance of Alodia was even stricter. Alodia daring to act so boldly must have gotten Carlo's approval. However, this was the Purcell Duchy, Laura's domain. Laura wasn't afraid that Alodia would overturn the sky.
Grand Duke Evan didn't disappoint Laura. After Alodia went to see him, he sent someone to warn Laura. He said that Alodia seemed to have the intention to deal with her. This time, they went to his city to sound out his intentions. He had already told Alodia that if Alodia dared to move against Laura, then it would be the same as moving against him. This was a very serious matter.
Although the Markey Dell clan was very powerful, the Purcell clan wasn't weak either. The Markey Dell clan was only a merchant clan, while the Purcell clan had their own Duchy. Evan had told Alodia that if they dared to move against Laura, then it would be the same as moving against him. For a Grand Duke, this wasn't something that could be easily said. Moreover, once it was said, there was no way to change it. A Grand Duke must have his own dignity. If he changed his orders, then how could he rule a Duchy?
Laura didn't think that Grand Duke Evan would actually give her face. With Grand Duke Evan's words, she believed that even if Carlo wanted to move against her, they would have to think about it carefully.
However, Laura didn't think that Alodia would give up. Since he had hit a wall with Grand Duke Evan, he should have other ideas. She was afraid that there was only one way, and that was to start with Zhao Hai.
Thinking of this, Laura couldn't sit still. She immediately had someone prepare a carriage. At the same time, she had Quinn John send someone to the Grand Duke's mansion to thank him. At this time, she couldn't go to the Grand Duke's mansion to thank him personally. She could only send someone to thank Evan first. After the arrangements were made, Laura led Nier straight to Stony Mountain.
This time, Laura didn't go to Stony Mountain because she didn't trust Zhao Hai. Instead, she wanted to greet Zhao Hai in advance. She knew that Zhao Hai didn't like to be disturbed. Moreover, he had too many secrets. If she didn't greet Zhao Hai in advance, then if Alodia suddenly ran to Zhao Hai, she was afraid that Zhao Hai wouldn't be polite to him.
Although Laura didn't like Alodia, she didn't want Zhao Hai to do anything to him. After all, Alodia represented Carlo. If Zhao Hai offended Carlo, then it would be very troublesome.
As soon as Laura came out of Casa City, Zhao Hai received the news. Although his attention was focused on the Carrion Swamp, he didn't relax his surveillance of Casa City. Now that Drunk and the others had returned from the Carrion Swamp, his manpower was sufficient. Therefore, the surveillance of Casa City was even stricter.
Zhao Hai and Green were in the Space. Therefore, when Zhao Hai received the news that Laura was coming, he immediately told Green. Green frowned and said, "I don't know why Miss Laura came this time. Our strength in Casa City is still too small. We can't report what happened in Casa City in a timely manner. For us, this is very disadvantageous."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "There is no other way. Right now, we don't have enough manpower in our hands. If we let the Night Shades stay in Casa City for a long time, then it wouldn't be a good thing. After all, they are undead. If they were discovered, then it would be very troublesome."
Green nodded and frowned. "With our current status, it's not convenient for us to establish our own forces. Otherwise, if we were discovered, then it would be very troublesome. Right now, the manpower problem is really a big problem."
Zhao Hai also frowned. The faster they developed, the more they would find that they didn't have enough manpower. The slaves couldn't be used. After all, they were slaves. If they went to Casa City to help inquire about information, then they might be treated as runaway slaves and captured. After all, the undead were undead. If they were discovered, then it would be very troublesome.
The most important thing was that the Night Shades were now zombies. Their appearance didn't differ much from their original appearance. If they were allowed to stay in Casa City for a long time, then they might be discovered by their original forces. When that time comes, it would be even more troublesome.
Zhao Hai was still very afraid of the Night Shades' original forces. They were too big. Not only did they have assassins like the Night Shades, but they also had light mages like Garan. Zhao Hai didn't want to have a direct confrontation with such a force.
Green saw that Zhao Hai was frowning and thought that he was worried about the manpower problem. He quickly said, "Young Master, what do you think? This time, when Miss Laura comes, we can give her an Eagle Virtuous Phantasm and ask her to tell us about the situation in Casa City every few days. This way, not only will we know about the situation in Casa City, but we will also strengthen our relationship with Miss Laura. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded. "This is a good idea. Now that there are more than a thousand Eagle Virtuous Phantasms in the Space, we can give a few to Miss Laura. This will not only strengthen our relationship, but also allow Miss Laura to have a few more Eagle Virtuous Phantasms. This will also guarantee her safety."
Green chuckled and said, "Young Master really cares about Miss Laura. Young Master, I think it would be better to try Miss Laura's feelings. If she is really interested in Young Master, then it would be better to settle this matter with Miss Laura. What do you think?"
Zhao Hai didn't think that Green would actually mention this issue. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Grandpa Green, didn't we already say that we don't need to worry about it? We don't know what Miss Laura's intentions are. If we speak rashly and Miss Laura doesn't have any intentions, then it would be awkward when we meet later."
Green thought for a moment and didn't say anything. However, he kept this idea in mind. If there was an opportunity in the future, he would certainly try it.
Zhao Hai looked at Green's expression and knew what he was thinking. He could only smile bitterly and didn't say anything. He also knew that this kind of thing would only make things worse.
It didn't take long for Laura to arrive. Zhao Hai and Green also came out of the Space. At the same time, Meg and Meg were also there. After all, Laura had seen them before. If Laura came and suddenly didn't see them, then she would be suspicious.
After inviting Laura to sit down in the living room, Zhao Hai looked at Laura with a puzzled expression. "Miss Laura, why did you come here this time? Did something happen in Casa City? "
Laura quickly smiled and said, "No, nothing happened in Casa City. This time, I came here because of my own matters." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's right.
Zhao Hai looked at Laura, puzzled. "For your matter? What matter does Miss Laura have? "
Laura smiled bitterly and told him about Alodia's matter. At the same time, she also told him about her various speculations. Finally, she said to Zhao Hai, "Mister, this time Alodia might come to disturb you. I just came to inform you in advance."
Zhao shook his head. "I ask Miss Laura to go back and tell Alodia that I don't like to see people. Tell him not to bother me. Even if he comes, I won't meet him. Tell him to give up." Laura nodded and said, "Okay.
When Laura heard Zhao Hai, she was even more happy. However, she still smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to stop him. To tell you the truth, my Fifth Uncle, although he usually seems very easy-going, I heard from my father that ever since he was a child, if he wanted something, he would get it. Even if he couldn't get it, he would destroy it and not let others get it. This time, he sent someone, and I'm afraid it won't be easy for them to leave. That's why I came here to inform you."
Zhao Hai frowned. "If they really don't know what's good for them, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Laura was afraid of this result, so she quickly said, "Laura came this time to tell Mister about this matter. Mister, my Fifth Uncle is much stronger than me. If Alodia really comes to disturb you, Mister can just ignore him. It's best not to have a conflict with him. Consider it as giving Laura some face."
