The farm had reached level 21, which gave Zhao Hai and the others a lot of benefits. If the ranch leveled up as well, what benefits would they get? Just thinking about it made them excited.
Even if they couldn't get any benefits, they could still raise more magic beasts and increase their fighting strength. Even if they only raised blue-eyed rabbits, they could still earn more gold coins.
Green also nodded. They also knew that the most important thing right now was to level up. In their view, leveling up in the ranch wasn't a big deal, but leveling up in the farm was. As long as they could level up in the farm, once they reached level 30, they could detoxify Zhao Hai.
Now that Zhao Hai had Zhao Wen and Cai 'er by his side, they weren't worried about Zhao Hai's safety. They just wanted to detoxify Zhao Hai as soon as possible so that he could get married and have children.
If Zhao Hai knew what Green and the others were thinking, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Putting aside proper business and thinking about these things all day long, Zhao Hai was also very impatient. But in Green's view, letting Zhao Hai get married and have children was the most important thing.
In fact, Zhao Hai was having a headache right now. To be honest, he had feelings for Laura. After all, she was very beautiful and had a good personality. But Zhao Hai couldn't let go of Meg. Not to mention, Meg had accompanied him to face Zhao Wen, a Rank Nine expert. Zhao Hai was very moved.
To say that Zhao Hai's heart was only moved by Meg's feelings would be a lie. Ever since Zhao Hai woke up, Meg had been taking care of him. He also found out that Meg was interested in him. Adding on this matter, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to give up on Meg.
Zhao Hai was a person who believed in love. He was also a perfectionist. He believed that a person's love could not be divided by too many people. That was no longer love. The so-called universal love was just another more elegant way of saying that.
But when love really came, it was really out of his control. The more he wanted to control it, the more he couldn't control it. It was like a drug that would unknowingly make him sink into it.
When you really meet love, but it's completely different from your own view of love, what kind of choice will you make? For a man, this might be a good choice. Since monogamy wasn't allowed in the Ark Continent, then he might as well marry all of them.
But for an idealist, this choice was a bit difficult. Zhao Hai wanted a perfect love, but his heart could not be controlled by love.
What was the most restrictive thing in this world? It wasn't the law, but a person's own heart. When a person has a standard in their heart, it would be very difficult to go beyond it.
Zhao Hai was like this. He had his own view of love. It was because of this view of love that when he was on Earth, he was still a virgin even though he was already more than 20 years old.
In a world like Earth, Zhao Hai was still able to keep his heart. In the eyes of many people, this was simply a combination of a madman and a fool. But for Zhao Hai, other people's evaluation had nothing to do with him. He had his own set of standards.
This was Zhao Hai's character. He was dull, gentle, and responsible, but there was also a sense of aloofness.
While talking, Zhao Hai and the others entered the Space and then went to Stony Mountain. The situation in Bluestone Villa was similar to Fort Iron Mountain and Flower City. It had also become a world of rainbow flowers. Zhao Hai and the others were already somewhat accustomed to this kind of scenery, so they weren't too surprised.
After sitting down in the living room of Bluestone Villa, Zhao Hai contacted the undead that followed Laura back to see if there was anything going on with Laura these past few days.
Contrary to Zhao's expectations, nothing really happened. Alodia was very well-behaved, and those who followed him were even more well-behaved. None of them dared to cause trouble. Casa City was also very calm. Aside from the day when Laura brought the undead back, which caused a small sensation, nothing else happened. Zhao's eyes lit up as he looked at Casa City.
Such a result was really beyond Zhao Hai's expectations. He thought that Carlo's men would cause some trouble, or at least send people to rescue Alodia. But now it seemed that there was no such thing. Why was this? Carlo shouldn't be someone who was easy to deal with, right?
Green's face became gloomy. He turned to Zhao and said, "Master, I'm afraid that this matter won't end well. If Carlo acted earlier, it means that he didn't want to hand this matter over to the Markey Dell clan. He wanted to do it himself. He has the strength, and his business is the closest to the Purcell Duchy. If he wanted to send people over, I'm afraid he could have done it two days ago. But they haven't made a move yet, which means that Carlo might have already told the Markey Dell clan about this matter and wanted to hand it over to the Markey Dell clan to solve. After all, it would take time to transfer people from the Markey Dell clan." Green's face turned gloomy. He turned to Zhao and said, "Master, I'm afraid that this matter really won't end well. If Carlo acted earlier, it means that he didn't want to hand this matter over to the Markey Dell clan.
Zhao Hai nodded, he understood what Green meant. If this matter was handled by Carlo alone, then they wouldn't need to worry about it. But if this matter was handled by the Markey Dell clan, then things would be a bit tricky. Zhao Hai didn't care about Carlo's strength, but if this matter was handled by the Markey Dell clan, then things would be a bit tricky.
The Markey Dell clan was a powerful merchant clan that spanned half of the continent. Although they were very overbearing and had many enemies, they had their own set of methods. Moreover, their strength was also very formidable. If it weren't for this, then they wouldn't have their current status.
Although he, Laura, and Evan had joined forces, if they really wanted to go against the Markey Dell clan, then who would win in the end was still unknown.
People on the continent didn't dare to easily go against merchant clans. The fundamental reason was that merchant clans were too rich. They could use money to smash people to death.
Generally, even if a large family was rich, it wouldn't be as convenient for them to use money as a business family. Therefore, very few large families would go against a business family. Of course, a business family would also rarely go against a large noble family.
Merchant clans had money, but their status wasn't as high as those great nobles. Moreover, the people they associated with were mostly merchant clans or small and medium-sized nobles. Those great nobles wouldn't lower themselves to associate with merchant clans.
In short, both sides had scruples, so they wouldn't easily make a move. But this time, it was related to the stability of the Purcell clan. Therefore, Evan and Zhao Hai formed an alliance to deal with the Markey Dell clan together.
Obviously, Carlo also thought of this point, so he didn't make a move. Instead, he reported this matter to the Markey Dell clan's headquarters and asked Sauss to make a decision.
Almost everyone on the continent knew that a Rank Nine expert couldn't be easily moved. Even if a clan wanted to invite one, they would have to pay a price. Therefore, if two clans really fought, they would have to rely on Rank Eight experts and the clan's economic strength.
In terms of economic strength, the Purcell Duchy and Laura couldn't compare to the Markey Dell clan. But would the Markey Dell clan fight to the death with them?
The answer was no. The Markey Dell clan was overbearing, but in the end, it was still a merchant clan. Merchants valued profits, and war was the most costly. Most merchants didn't like it. It was impossible to let the Markey Dell clan and the Purcell clan fight to the death. Sauss, that old fox, wouldn't do that.
However, the Markey Dell clan would certainly come to deal with them. If they didn't, then they wouldn't be the Markey Dell clan. If they found out that they were soft persimmons, then the Markey Dell clan would certainly destroy them. But if they found out that they were difficult to chew, then the Markey Dell clan might use other methods to deal with them.
Now it seemed that what they thought before might come true. As long as Carlo told the Markey Dell clan about this matter, then things wouldn't be good.
Fortunately, they now had Zhao Wen and Cai 'er, so they didn't have to worry about the Markey Dell clan's attack. Even if the Markey Dell clan was desperate and asked a Rank Nine expert to act, they didn't have to be afraid.
However, Zhao Hai still didn't want to go against the Markey Dell clan. But in the current situation, even if he didn't want to, there was no other way. To be precise, this time, the Purcell clan and Laura had been implicated by them.
Zhao Hai frowned and said to Green, "Grandpa Green, what do you think the Markey Dell clan will do to deal with us? Will they use commercial means? "
Green shook his head and said, "I'm afraid they won't."
Zhao Hai stared, he didn't quite understand what Green meant. A commercial clan would be good at using commercial means to attack their enemies. Using this method to deal with the Purcell clan wouldn't be good. Not only would the Purcell clan be badly battered, they would also be able to obtain benefits.
Green looked at Zhao Hai's appearance and knew what he was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "Commercial means can make the Purcell clan suffer a big loss, but it's impossible to destroy them. Once the Markey Dell clan does this, it would be tantamount to offending the other great clans. If the Markey Dell clan can use this method to deal with the Purcell clan, then wouldn't they use it to deal with the other great clans? If the Markey Dell clan dares to do this, then they won't be able to do business in the continent. All the great aristocrats will join forces to suppress them until they feel that they are no longer a threat. This is the way the great aristocrats do things. "
Zhao Hai really didn't think that it would be like this. On Earth, there were some great financial groups that could even control the economy of a small country. He didn't expect that in the Ark Continent, it would be completely impossible.
In the end, the Ark Continent still respected strength. The law had no binding force on the great aristocrats. It was just a tool they used to restrain others.
