<h4>Chapter 498 - Wedding</h4>


    Zhao Hai nodded and said, “I want some child ves, go help me find some. The price is open for discussion.”


    Ren nodded, “No matter how many ves Sir Marquis wants, we can certainly provide.”


    Zhao Hai nodded, then he thought for a moment before saying, “Golden Ind needs a lot of ves right now. Those 400 ves are only for my fort in Carson City. I still haven’t bought any for Golden Ind. You go see whether you can provide me some young ves. I also need some old and experienced ones, I have some facilities that needed managing.”


    Ren couldn’t help but hold Zhao Hai in high esteem. General clients would only buy some young and strong ves. Those who would buy old ones were very rare. This was because those ves have been so overworked that their bodies aren’t very good anymore. Such ves would only survive for only two years before dying. Because of that, nobody wanted to buy them.


    From all of his years of selling ves, Ren hade to know that these old ves have its own uses. Although these old ves cannot read, they had a lifetime of experience behind them. They understood situations that only an experienced person knows, like what disease a certain nt was suffering, the best time to nt, and there are even old ves that can predict the weather. Those abilities are absolutely priceless.


    But a lot of Nobles didn’t know about this. It was even possible for those Nobles to have never been on their territory in their entire life, they simply cannot understand farming. There was a substantial difference in ie between Nobles who have old vespared to those without.


    It was unfortunate that this difference wasn’t something that Nobles took note of. What they cared about was the strength of their ves. It was because of this that they overexhaust their ves and have them die an early death.


    These old ves were actually treasures. In Ren’s eyes, these ves should be more expensive than the younger ones. But it was a pity that nobles do not share his views. What they always see was a ve that wouldn’t be able to live long. A lot of these old ves just die miserable deaths.


    Ren also understood why Zhao Hai wanted to buy some child ves. These child ves are very malleable. If they were allowed to learn some crafting skills, then their price value would increase by dozens of times. A lot of ve merchants do this method now. They would buy some child ves and then find some artisan ves to train them. When those child ves grow , they would have learned a lot and would be sold at the price of artisan ves. This would bring them a huge profit.


    Zhao Hai buying ves along with their families are also good as well. Ren had seen a lot of ves who went crazy because they became separated from their families, so their handlers had no choice but to kill them. ves are people as well, Ren knew this, so he saw Zhao Hai’s approach to be very agreeable.


    Zhao Hai looked at Ren and then asked, “Ren? What’s wrong?”


    Ren recovered, then he shook his head hastily and said, “There’s no problem. How many ves does Sir Marquis want?”


    Zhao Hai thought for a moment before saying, “A hundred thousand, having more isn’t a problem, but make sure that there aren’t less.”


    Ren became ecstatic, he immediately said, “Sir Marquis can be rest assured, as long as you give me a month to prepare, those hundred thousand ves wouldn’t be a problem. Do you want us to deliver those ves to Golden Ind for you?”


    Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “When they are prepared, you send me a message at my fort. Then wait for my instruction before sending them there. Right, how much money do I need to give you?”


    Ren nodded, then he went to the side and did some calctions before saying, “Sir Marquis, everything is 213 thousand gold coins. It would be fine if Sir Marquis paid 210 thousand gold coins, we can waive the three thousand.”


    Zhao Hai smiled faintly and then waved his hand as two crystal cards appeared. There were some markings on the cards, one showed 200 thousand while the other has 10 thousand. These cards were issued by banks and weremonly used by nobles.


    These banks made this crystal cards with different denominations. All of them had special markings made by their banks and can be revealed as long as energy was provided. By doing this, one could see the authenticity of these cards.


    Ren had been dealing with these cards all year round, he can distinguish between fake and real in one look. But authentication wasn’t needed, Zhao Hai was famous, it would be impossible for him to use a fake crystal card.


    Ren epted the cards and said, “Marquis can be rest assured, we shall certainly provide good ves. Do you want to see the artisan ves?”


    Zhao Hai shook his head and said, “No need, I believe that you won’t deceive me. There aren’t a lot of people in the continent that would dare to do so.”


    Ren felt his heart stop, he was sure that Zhao Hai wasn’t joking. What he said was true, there won’t be many people in this world who would dare deceive him. Those who dared to deceive him would have to face death. Even his backers wouldn’t dare to offend Zhao Hai.


    Ren immediately said, “Sir Marquis is cracking a joke. Our little store wouldn’t be able to withstand your fury. Mister can be rest assured, I can assure you that our shop would certainly ensure the safety and security of your goods.”


    Zhao Hai nodded and said, “That’s good. I’ll go back first, I’ll go look at your battle ves in another time.” Then he stood up and headed out.


    They boarded their carriage outside and then headed out of the ve market. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, “Brother Hai, we bought a lot of ves this time. I think we should inform Grandpa Green about it ”


    Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Rest assured, not only this matter, I will also talk to him about another important thing.”


    Laura looked at Zhao Hai, she was puzzled as she said, “What’s that? Is there anything important matter left? We already bought the castle. As long as the renovations are finished, we can immediately move in. When that timees, we can then hold a banquet. I think there’s no other matter left.”


    Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “This matter must be taken care of, otherwise Grandpa Green would throw me into a pit of fire.” Laura still didn’t understand what Zhao Hai meant. But seeing that Zhao Hai didn’t want to say it, she didn’t ask anymore.


    Soon, they arrived at the fort. Zhao Hai already had the name Wild Dragon Castle prepared for the ce. The g that was raised also had the Buda n’s Wild Dragon Insignia. This along with the name of the fort, people would certainly know that this ce belonged to the Buda n.


    At this time , there were a lot of undead in the castle being busy. They were carrying the final renovations of the castle. This was Carson City, the capital of Rosen Empire, the ce with thergest distribution center in the continent. Because of this, it was very convenient to buy anything, so Zhao Hai was able to confidently do renovations on the fort. He was also preparing to have Cai’er ce one of her branches on Wild Dragon Castle.


    When noon came, Ren sent people to deliver more than 600 ves to Wild Dragon Castle. Zhao Hai had some of these ves go to Iron Mountain Fort under the leadership of Rockhead and Blockhead. He had the two of them handle the neers to do specific jobs at Wild Dragon Castle.


    When it came to managing ves, Blockhead and Rockhead already had a few tricks. They had already been assigned by Zhao Hai to do some management tasks before. And after having them study at the school, the two should be able to handle the ves without a problem.


    Most importantly, both of them spent a long time with Zhao Hai. They understood his habits as well as what he liked. The 400 ves that were left in the castle needed to be managed well, otherwise Zhao Hai wouldn’t feelfortable in living there.


    The artisan ves were easier to manage. Zhao Hai directly transferred them to Iron Mountain Fort since the fort badly needed people like them right now. However, the Potion Master was referred by Zhao Hai to Shun’s mother. Shun’s mother studies potion and that potion master just happens to be an expert in it. Zhao Hai wanted to the ve to teach Shun’s Mother.


    After having arranged these people, Zhao Hai went to the Space where Green and the others were waiting for him. Green and the others knew that Zhao Hai was busy with the ves, therefore they didn’t go and disturb him. After all, they fully supported Zhao Hai’s methods.


    After the group arrived at the vi’s living room, Zhao Hai turned to Green and said, “Grandpa Green, I went to see you today for two matters. The first one was to tell you that I had bought 100 thousand Human ves. They aren’t artisan ves, just regr ones. After they arrive, I want to have them farm on the ck Wastnd. I have a lot to do in the future, so I won’t have enough time to do farming. We should make a vige for them outside the fort.”


    Green nodded and said, “Alright, that’s good. But although we already have 200 thousand peopleing, I still think that they aren’t enough to farm the ck Wastnd. I suggest the young master to have them forage on thend as well as raise some livestock. With this, we may have more ie from having a ranch. If we don’t do this, the big area of the ck Wastnd would be wasted.”


    Zhao Hai nodded and said, “That’s a good idea. Before utilizing the whole area for farming, we might as well use the unused parts for rearing animals.”


    Green nodded as well then said, “The second matter?”


    Zhao Hai took a deep breath, then he looked deeply at Laura and the others who were listening at the side before turning his head to Green and said, “Now that our Buda n’s reputation has been established, as well as having our own castle and fief, I want to officially marry Laura and the others. Having them be my fiancees for too long will make people gossip.”


    Green stared, and also Kun as well as Laura and the others. They hadn’t thought of this, the matters that they had been handling were too big recently, they have absolutely forgotten the marriage. Now that Zhao Hai opened the topic, they were suddenly left staring nkly.


    After some time, Green recovered as heughed and said, “Right, right, I also think it’s time for young master’s wedding to be pushed through. We have been very busy these days that I’vepletely forgotten about it. Good, good, I’ll immediately go arrange it.”


    Kun was happy as well, Laura being somewhat of Zhao Hai’s follower has hurt her reputation. However, Zhao Hai insisted that they should wait until the Buda n establishes themselves before carrying on to their marriage. Finally, the opportunity to do so has arrived.


    Laura and the others were also happy , when Zhao Hai goes out, he can only introduce them as his fiancees, this made them feel a little bit ufortable. Now, it’s time for them to be married.


    Merine was also in the living room, she was naturally the happiest one in the room, she smiled and said, “Young Master, fantastic! We’ll go and give respects to the ancestors and tell them the good news.”


    Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Alright, then it’s all settled. Grandpa Green, Grandpa Kun, I need to ask you to help me prepare the invitations. I’ll go to Grandpa Randolph tomorrow and ask him for help as well.”


    Green replied with a smile, “Alright. But Young Master, how long are you nning to prepare for this wedding?”


    Zhao Hai understood what Green was saying, thetter wanted the date to be farther off. With this, they would be able to prepare the invitations properly as well as having the event more grand. However, Zhao Hai doesn’t have much time right now, he turned to Green and said, “Grandpa Green, I want the ceremony to happen as soon as possible because I need to go the the Prairie. I also need to take care of the business with the merfolk.”


    Green thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright, spring ising to the Prairie, it wouldn’t be good if you head therete. Very well, we’ll see to it that it happens as soon as possible. I think we should also discuss this matter with Randolph, in any case, we need to respect his opinion on this matter. Old Kun, what do you think?”


    Kun nodded and smiled, “That’s fine. I’ll go tell Karen about this matter. Right, there should also be an invitation for the Markey Family. I’d like to see their reaction, if they dare act up, then they can’t me us for being impolite.”


    Green snorted and said, “If they dare, do they really think that the Buda n is the same as before? Let’s see if they act unreasonably this time, hmph. We must make this wedding ceremony as grand as possible, let’s make sure that all of the people in the continent gets to hear it.”


    Zhao Hai nodded and said, “I’d like that, I can’t let my fiancees feel wronged. If not because of this fear, the wedding might have been already done. This time, we must make it grand. I think we should do it in Wild Dragon Castle, what does Grandpa Green think?”


    Green thought and then shook his head, “Young Master, I think it would be better if we do it at Golden Ind. That’s our domain, if people would want to act impolitely, then we can deal with them immediately!”
