When Laura came down from Stony Mountain, in addition to the guards, there were also two hundred and eight undead behind her. Aside from the eight magicians, the rest of the undead were all warriors. Their speed was very fast, and they dashed behind Laura and the others. They weren't any slower than Laura's galloping horses.
Laura didn't pay attention to the undead. She was looking at the marriage certificate that Zhao Hai had given her. This marriage certificate was very simple to make. It only needed to be made of thick and strong paper. It needed to be red and printed with golden words. The format was also very simple, and the number of words wasn't many. But Laura was looking at it for a while.
Nier looked at Laura with a puzzled expression. She really didn't understand what was so good about a piece of paper. She also saw the things on the paper. It was very simple, nothing great.
Nier didn't understand, but Laura was very clear. Although this piece of paper didn't represent anything, the things on the paper represented a lot of things.
There had never been a marriage certificate on the continent. When people got married, the ceremony was complete. Although there was a marriage certificate, it was only an engagement certificate. After marriage, there was no such thing.
Zhao Hai's marriage certificate proved that the two were legally husband and wife. The most important point was that if the two didn't get along, they could take this certificate to Zhao Hai for a divorce. As long as they divorced, the two were no longer husband and wife.
If it was before, Laura would think that this thing was useless. Zhao Hai wouldn't practice monogamy, so what was the use of such a piece of paper? But when Zhao Hai gave this marriage certificate to Laura, she thought too much about it.
Nier couldn't stand it anymore. She waved at Laura and said, "Young Lady, have you seen enough? You've been looking at it since we came out of Stony Mountain. It's been more than an hour. "
Laura recovered and blushed. She quickly received the blueprint and looked at Nier and said, "Nier, why did Brother Hai give me this blueprint?" Nier looked at Laura and said, "Why do you think Brother Hai gave me this blueprint?"
Nier wasn't stupid. She understood Laura's meaning. She looked at Laura with bad intentions and said, "Young Lady, are you thinking of love? Brother Hai, Brother Hai. Mister told you to call him Brother Hai, so you really called him Brother Hai. Shameless. "
The relationship between Laura and Nier wasn't something that had only existed for a day or two. Only Nier could talk to Laura like this. Laura wasn't angry at all, instead, she blushed and said, "You dead girl, if I really marry Brother Hai, you won't be able to run away. Perhaps Brother Hai will be even more fond of you with your cute appearance." Nier's face turned red.
. "The two laughed and joked. Not long after, they arrived outside Casa City. The guards at the city gate saw Laura bring back so many undead. They felt strange, but since they had received orders from Evan, they didn't stop them and directly let them pass.
Laura's action this time caused quite a stir in Casa City. Daring to bring a large number of undead so blatantly through the streets was really rare.
Laura and the others were surrounded by onlookers. Fortunately, the people of the continent knew that black mages could use skeletons, so no one was afraid.
Laura arrogantly brought the undead into the city. In fact, it was intentional. She believed that Carlo already knew that the people who attacked Laura were dead. Although Carlo was arrogant, he wasn't stupid. It was impossible for him to only send two people, one in the open and one in the dark. He must have other spies.
This time, Laura brought back so many undead. Those spies would immediately understand that Laura was completely on Zhao Hai's side. Since Casa City's guards allowed them to enter, they would understand that the Purcell clan was also on their side. This was actually a demonstration.
Soon, the carriage arrived at Faith Mansion. Faith Mansion wasn't very big, so it was still crowded with more than two hundred undead. However, Quinn John had already received the news, so he had made some arrangements in advance.
In addition to Drunk and the others, who were given rooms, the rest of the undead were arranged to be near the mansion's walls. In any case, they didn't feel cold. Standing near the walls was like a row of statues, but these statues looked a bit scary.
When Alodia saw that Laura had returned with so many undead, he felt that things weren't good. Although he didn't know much about Zhao Hai, he knew that Zhao Hai wasn't a weak black mage. Now that Laura had gone out and brought back so many undead, it must be related to Zhao Hai.
Moreover, why did Laura bring back so many undead at this time? They didn't seem to be low-level undead. Was she really ready to break off relations with the clan?
While he was thinking, a servant suddenly came to find Alodia and said that Laura wanted to see him. Alodia composed himself, straightened his clothes, and went to Laura's study.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the study, Alodia froze. Two skeletons were standing in front of Laura's study, one on the left and one on the right. They looked like they were carved from black jade.
In addition to the two skeletons, Searle was also standing there. When he saw Alodia, Searle's face sank. He said to Alodia, "Steward Alodia, the Young Lady invites you in."
Alodia looked at Searle's face and knew that something had happened today. Alodia could almost guess what had happened. It must be that Leo had seen him trapped in the mansion and had taken action, but it didn't seem to be successful.
Alodia nodded and walked towards the study, but his face was somewhat ugly. When he arrived at the study, he saw that there was no one else besides Laura, Quinn John, and Nier.
Alodia bowed to Laura and said, "Greetings, Young Lady."
Laura sat behind the desk and looked at him. "Since you've come to my mansion, you must abide by the rules of my mansion. Otherwise, even Fifth Uncle can't save you. As long as you abide by the rules of my mansion, I won't do anything to you. Do you remember my words?"
Alodia looked at Laura and said, "Young Lady, we are also the servants of the Fifth Young Master. We came here to visit the Young Lady, not to serve the Young Lady. Now that we've seen the Young Lady, this little one wants to go back. I ask for the Young Lady's permission."
Laura looked at Alodia and said, "Let's stay in the mansion for a while. The outside world hasn't been peaceful. Today, when I left the mansion, I was attacked. Moreover, the strength of those people wasn't weak. If I let you go now and something really happened, I wouldn't be able to explain it to Fifth Uncle. After a while, when things are peaceful, I will let you go back. That's all, withdraw."
You're dismissed. "When Alodia heard Laura say this, his eyelids unconsciously jumped. He was very clear about Laura's meaning. Laura was warning him, as well as threatening him. Warning him that his people had attacked her, but she was still alive and well. Therefore, their attack had failed. She threatened him, saying that the outside world wasn't peaceful. If he left Casa City, she would kill him, and his death would be in vain.
Alodia wasn't a fool. He knew that he was now in Laura's domain, and that he couldn't fight against her. He hadn't thought that Laura's strength would be so strong. Now, he could only hope that Carlo would quickly get the news so that he could save them.
As early as this morning, when they were beaten back by Quinn John, Alodia had used a wind falcon to inform Carlo. He thought that Carlo should've received the news by now, but he didn't think that the wind falcons he released had become rations for the Eagle Virtuous Phantasms.
However, Laura couldn't rob all of the wind falcons that flew out of Casa City. Doing so would offend a lot of people. Therefore, Laura knew that Carlo should've received the news soon.
After she returned, she didn't personally go to the Grand Duke's Mansion. Instead, she sent someone to the Grand Duke's Mansion to inform Grand Duke Evan that Zhao Hai had agreed to the alliance. She believed that after Grand Duke Evan heard this news, he would understand what to do.
Alodia was worthy of being Carlo's steward. His forbearance was very strong. When he heard Laura, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Young Lady. Then I will take my leave."
Laura nodded and said, "Go, tell your people not to go out without my order. There are a lot of undead in the house. These undead don't recognize people. If your people go out, they might kill them." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll leave now.
Alodia lowered his head and complied. He slowly retreated. He knew that he couldn't do anything right now. As long as he did, he would be courting death. Looking at Laura's appearance, he knew that she wouldn't mind killing them.
Watching Alodia retreat, Quinn John turned to Laura and said, "Laura, are you okay today? I saw the arrow marks on the carriage. It seems like the attack was fierce. "
Laura shook her head and said, "I'm fine. I was saved by Brother Hai. Grandpa Quinn John, sit down. I'll tell you about Brother Hai's situation."
Quinn John nodded. He also wanted to know what was going on. When Laura returned, she immediately summoned Alodia. She didn't have time to tell him about these things.
Laura sat beside Quinn John and sent Searle to a distant place. She carefully told Quinn John about Zhao Hai's identity. This really made Quinn John interested.
Quinn John guessed a lot about Zhao Hai's identity. The only thing he didn't think of was the Buda clan. No wonder no one could find the Buda clan in the Black Waste. They were hiding under everyone's noses. Fierce.
After Laura finished speaking, Quinn John slowly stood up. He paced two steps around the room and said, "You did the right thing. If Zhao Hai didn't want you to know his identity, you wouldn't have known. With his current identity, no one would be able to guess that he was a member of the Buda clan. Cooperating with them wouldn't be a problem. I also heard that Grand Duke Evan and the Buda clan were old friends. The Buda clan had also received his help. Even if he knew about Zhao Hai's identity, he wouldn't say anything. But for safety's sake, you shouldn't tell anyone about this. As long as we defeat the Markey Dell clan, we can truly establish ourselves in the Purcell Duchy. But as Zhao Hai said, if others knew about his identity, even the Purcell clan wouldn't be able to protect them. We should just get along with them like before."
Laura softly agreed.
