Chapter 514: Chapter 427, Fairy Clan Compensation_2
Fang Hao’s territory was developing at a rapid pace. Outside, one could even see Bone Dragons ceaselessly transporting various gold and silver wares to the land.
Fang Hao didn’t give a second thought to the compensation brought by the Fairy Clan.
So, to resolve this matter, his own opinion was needed.
“Mr Fang Hao, you can put forward any demands you have,” Shinisara also chimed in.
Fang Hao was straightforward, “One hundred thousand Oak Amber pieces, and we’ll call it even.”
In the Dreamy Forest, there was a giant oak tree.
The oak tree located at the center of the Dreamy Forest was the basis of the Fairy Clan’s existence.
The roots of the oak tree produced a resin-based amber, which possessed immense natural energy.
Not only was it a rare material, but the amber also had the power to improve soil quality and promote plant growth.
It could transform infertile land into a magical Spiritual Field suitable for plant cultivation.
The Fairy Clan relied on the ambers to expand their living space. Other clans had only heard of this but rarely saw real ambers.
Fang Hao was well aware of the value of the amber; hence his proposed count of one hundred thousand was mostly a starting point for bargaining.
Upon hearing Fang Hao’s words,
Moru and Shinisara fell into silence.
The Fairy guards nearby brought a look of rage upon their faces, signifying their readiness for a fight to the death.
“Mr Fang Hao, are you insulting me in this manner?” Shinisara suddenly broke the silence.
Although her tone was still stiff, her dissatisfaction was apparent.
Requesting for the Oak Amber, it seemed, was deemed as insulting Shinisara.
“I did not mean to humiliate, but is it difficult for you to produce the amber, or is that just a myth?” Fang Hao curiously asked.
Seeing that Fang Hao did not intend to cause trouble, Shinisara explained further, “The tree produces one to three pieces of amber every ten years. All of them are used to improve the soil surrounding the Dreamy Forest. We will not be able to gather any amber for the next decade.”
“Oh.” Fang Hao understood the root of the matter.
To the Fairy Clan, Oak Amber carried a special significance.
Yet, on the other hand, obtaining the amber was extremely difficult. Even if Fang Hao demanded it, they couldn’t present it right now.
This put Fang Hao in a dilemma. Without anything to give, how would they compensate?
“Mr Fang Hao, what do you need the amber for? Perhaps we can assist somehow,” Shinisara asked.
“Naturally, to improve farming land and increase grain production,” Fang Hao replied.
Upon hearing this, Shinisara immediately responded: “This, we may be able to discuss in more detail.”
“Oh? Chief Shinisara, do you have a solution?” Fang Hao curiously inquired.
Shinisara nodded, “Indeed, we have clan members skilled in cultivation. We can arrange for them to plant crops for you, as a part of our compensation.”
Fang Hao pondered, this could potentially meet his needs.
“Do they have any special skills? I do not lack ordinary farmers here,” Fang Hao questioned.
“Woodland Attendants, they can better assist plant growth at a rate five times greater than ordinary human farmers.”
Upon hearing Shinisara’s explanation, interest sparkled in Fang Hao’s eyes.
These Woodland Attendants would be akin to labor troops in his camp,
However, the characteristic of the Woodland Attendants lies in their ability to promote rapid plant growth.
“That sounds good. Chief Shinisara, how many people do you plan to send, and how long will they work for me?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
“Two thousand people, for ten years,” Shinisara replied promptly.
“Alright, I agree. Let’s consider the matter of the Fairy Clan settled. I hope for more cooperation between us in the future,” Fang Hao readily consented.
Initially, Fang Hao was firm because the Fairies hadn’t offered suitable compensation.
Now, satisfied with the Fairy Clan’s proposal, he promptly agreed to it.
“Yes, but I need you to assure their safety. If any of them are in danger, I will take everyone back,” Shinisara emphasized her terms again.
The Fairies had significant lifespans,
So ten years was not a considerable duration for them.
“Alright, I will arrange for their accommodation and safety,” Fang Hao assured.
The order within his territory has always been good.
“Good, let’s consider this matter settled then,” Shinisara was also well-satisfied.
Moru, who had been silently observing, broke into a smile too,
Like an insurance agent, he took a contract from his briefcase and placed it before Fang Hao and Shinisara.
“Since we have reached an agreement, let’s sign the contract,” Moru said.
Fang Hao glanced at the contract, which stated his agreement to release the captured fairies in exchange for ten years of labor from two thousand members of the Fairy Clan.
Upon confirming that there were no peculiar clauses, Fang Hao signed his name.
Following Fang Hao, Shinisara signed as well.
The agreement between both parties was complete.
Fang Hao had drinks brought over, and everyone drained their glasses.
Even Shinisara, who possessed a tree-like physique, joined in drinking.
The atmosphere considerably lightened after that. The three representatives chatted leisurely about the current situation, discussing potential future cooperation before
Moru and Shinisara left Fang Hao’s territory through the teleportation array with their party.
Soon, the folks from the Fairy Clan would be sent over.
…
It was afternoon, just before dinner.
