Laura didn't think that Green would actually make such a request. She froze for a moment, then her face turned red. This condition was too sudden, too unexpected.
Although the Ark Continent wasn't like ancient China, where women didn't pay attention to the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, there were a lot of rules. In the Ark Continent, men and women could be said to be equal. In large clans, not only did men have the right to inherit, even women had the right to inherit.
Marriage was also relatively free. Just like Ryan Purcell, if he didn't like Zhao Hai, he could bring it up to his family. Then his family would find a way to break off the engagement. This was normal.
But now, when marriage was suddenly mentioned, it was too sudden for a girl. For a moment, besides being shy, Laura forgot everything else.
Green looked at Laura's appearance and smiled. "Miss Laura, please rest assured. Our family's Young Master is less than twenty years old, the same age as Miss Laura. Moreover, he is also a noble, so he definitely wouldn't disgrace Miss Laura."
Zhao Hai forced a smile. "Grandpa Green, don't say it. Miss Laura, please don't mind it. If my identity is revealed, then it will bring you a lot of trouble. When the time comes, I'm afraid that even if we form an alliance with the Purcell clan, we still won't be able to protect me. I ask Miss Laura to stop asking."
Laura was stunned. She really didn't think that Zhao Hai would say such a thing. Was his identity really that troublesome? Suddenly, Laura thought of Zhao Hai's name for Green.
In the past, when Laura came, Zhao Hai would call Green Brother Lin. This was a very common name on the continent, nothing special, so Laura didn't care.
But just now, Zhao Hai was anxious and called Green by his name. Although the name Green wasn't special, when she thought of Zhao Hai's identity and Green's strength, Laura suddenly thought of a clan.
Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Is Mister surnamed Buda? Is this the Spiritual Wind Warrior Mister Green? That's not right. Didn't Mister drink the Water of Nothingness? How can you use magic? "
Zhao Hai and Green were also surprised. They didn't think that Laura would be so smart, guessing their identity just by calling them names.
Zhao and Green looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Green took off the helmet that covered his entire face and threw it aside. He looked at Laura and smiled. "Miss Laura is worthy of being called a proud daughter of heaven. You're really smart. You actually guessed our identity from the Young Master's words. You're really amazing." Laura smiled and said, "You're really smart.
Zhao Hai also took off the hat on his magic robe and smiled bitterly. "I didn't think that in the end, I would be the one to reveal a flaw. Miss Laura, let me reintroduce myself. I am Zhao Hai Buda, formerly known as Adam Buda, but now I've changed my name. This is my chief steward, Green Buda. This is my maid, Grandpa Green's granddaughter, Meg Buda. The last time you came, the one who cooked for you was Meg's grandmother, Meg Buda."
As he spoke, Zhao Hai stood up and introduced Laura. Green and the others also saluted Laura. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and stared blankly.
She really didn't think that she'd actually guessed right. The people living here were actually people from the Buda clan. Who would have thought that the Buda clan, who had been driven to the Black Waste, would suddenly appear here and live so freely?
Laura looked at Zhao Hai. Although Zhao Hai was still wearing his magic robe, his hat had been taken off. This made Zhao Hai lose his sense of mystery. On the contrary, Laura felt that the current Zhao Hai was even more attractive.
A sense of mystery could attract women, but women wouldn't like a man who was too mysterious because they didn't have a sense of security. Laura was attracted to Zhao Hai's mysteriousness, but the reason why Laura had feelings for Zhao Hai before was because of Zhao Hai's character.
What kind of character Zhao Hai was, Laura had come to understand after several contacts. But because Zhao Hai was too mysterious, Laura didn't dare to have a deeper contact with him.
Now that she could finally see Zhao Hai's appearance, she could see that Zhao Hai's stature wasn't very tall. If he stood next to Laura, he would obviously be shorter than her. His face was very white, and he looked thin and weak. In addition, he had the character of a bookworm in her previous life, which made him look gentle and gentle. But Laura could feel an optimistic and persevering temperament from Zhao Hai's body. This was what Laura appreciated the most about Zhao Hai.
After Laura got up and saluted Zhao Hai, they all sat down. Zhao Hai looked at Laura and smiled. "Miss Laura, do you now know why I don't want to have any contact with the Purcell clan? Moreover, if my identity were to be known by outsiders, not only would I be unable to protect myself, even Miss Laura would be implicated. Therefore, I can only hide here. "
Laura sternly replied, "Mister worries too much. Laura's life was saved by Mister, so why would I be afraid of being implicated? If it weren't for Mister, Laura wouldn't be where she is today. Mister, please don't say such things."
Zhao Hai shook his head. "Miss, you might be wondering why I can still use black magic after drinking the Water of Nothingness. In fact, although I drank the Water of Nothingness, I gained another ability. I am now a Divergent Warlock."
Divergent Warlocks were a group of people with the least number of combat professions on the continent. They were also the most mysterious group of people. No one knew how Divergent Warlocks were born, and no one knew how they cultivated. There was no way to learn Divergent Warlocks. It didn't depend on one's bloodline or aptitude. There was no way to practice it, and there was no complete system. Even a slave could become a Divergent Warlock.
The abilities of Divergent Warlocks were very strange. Some of them couldn't be used in battle, while some of them were very strong. If Black Magicians were the people on the continent that people didn't want to provoke, then Divergent Warlocks were people that even Black Magicians didn't want to provoke.
At first, Zhao Hai didn't know that Divergent Warlocks existed on the continent. But later on, he learned that Divergent Warlocks were like the X-Men movies he saw on Earth. They were people with special abilities, mutants.
On Earth, mutants and special abilities were only things that existed in legends. But on the Ark Continent, mutants were real. Moreover, they were the same as other combat professions. They had their own identity and status.
They were different from Black Magicians. Aristocrats generally didn't like to invite Black Magicians, but Divergent Warlocks were very popular.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Hai's spatial ability was also a type of Divergent Warlock. But this Divergent Warlock was a bit strange. Zhao Hai didn't know where this spatial ability came from, but he was sure that it was related to the farm game he played. His understanding of spatial abilities was much more than other Divergent Warlocks. This was the biggest difference between him and other Divergent Warlocks.
When Laura heard Zhao Hai's words, she relaxed. The Divergent Warlock profession wasn't restricted by any drugs. In the past, there were people who drank the Water of Nothingness and had a Divergent Warlock.
Laura hadn't seen a Divergent Warlock. There were too few of them, so she curiously looked at Zhao Hai and asked, "Is Mister's Divergent Warlock like Black Magic?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "My Divergent Warlock is a bit strange. I can't explain it clearly in a short time, so I won't go into detail. But Miss Laura doesn't need to call me Mister. Just call me Zhao Hai."
Laura smiled and said, "I'll call you Mister. In any case, I'm already used to it. Right, Mister, if you have ancient magic tools, why didn't you use them when your family was in trouble? Also, didn't Mister Green use one when you went to the Purcell clan? Do you still have ancient magic tools? "
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't have any ancient magic tools. If I did, I wouldn't have fallen to this point. It's just a part of my Divergent Warlock."
Laura sucked in a breath of cold air. Although she hadn't seen a Divergent Warlock, she knew that there were many kinds of Divergent Warlocks. Some Divergent Warlocks had great potential. At their strongest, they could even have the strength of a Rank Nine expert. Some Divergent Warlocks didn't have much use. For example, someone who could use their skin to read. Other than being able to read with their eyes closed, they didn't have any other use. They didn't have any fighting strength.
Not to mention how many kinds of abilities Zhao Hai's Divergent Warlock had, just this one ability was enough to make people envious. It was equivalent to an ancient magic tool.
However, Laura still wanted to confirm it, so she uncertainly asked Zhao Hai, "Mister, do you mean that this ability of yours is like an ancient magic tool that can transmit people to Stony Mountain?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's not that easy. This ability has a lot of restrictions. First of all, the person has to be someone I absolutely trust. Then, they have to bring a medium with them so that I can send them away. If it were that easy, then wouldn't I be holed up here?"
When Laura heard Zhao Hai say this, she nodded. Then her face turned red. She had just heard Zhao Hai say that Zhao Hai absolutely trusted someone. Only someone close to Zhao Hai could be trusted. She couldn't help but think of Green's words.
Green was a shrewd old man. When he saw Laura's expression, he knew what she was thinking. He couldn't help but smile as he said to Laura, "Miss Laura, our identities are too sensitive. I hope you can keep this a secret for the Young Master."
When Laura heard Green's words and saw his expression, her face turned even redder. However, Laura wasn't an ordinary girl, so she quickly calmed down and said, "Mister Green, don't worry. I know what to do."
Green smiled and said, "Miss Laura is too polite. Don't call me Mister Green. Just call me Green. Like the Young Master, you can also call me Grandpa Green."
Laura's face turned even redder, but she still whispered, "Then Laura won't be polite. Later on, I'll call you Grandpa Green." However, her voice was very low.
