Shunyi knew that Xu Wanying was right, but he still frowned.”Young master, I think there’s a better place to upgrade the space.”
Zhao Hai nodded, ” &Quot; I know you’re talking about the elf forest. I heard that it’s full of exotic flowers and plants, and it’s the most suitable place for the realm to level up. But you should know that the elves have no desires, and they hate humans. If we go there rashly, we might cause them to dislike us, so I want to get in touch with the dwarves first. I heard that dwarves sometimes interact with elves. I want to see if I can learn more about the elves from the dwarves.”
Shunyi nodded,”so that’s how it is, but is this true?” I heard that the dwarves are quite hot-tempered, and they’re not much worse than orcs. They like to forge and drink, and they’re just boorish craftsmen. As for the elves, they’re said to be beautiful and love art and music. Would such people have any relationship with the dwarves?”
Zhao Hai shook his head. &Quot; who knows? I only saw it in a random book. I don’t know if it’s true or not. However, the elves don’t like humans. This is something everyone on the continent knows. We should go to the dwarves ‘mountain and take a look. &Quot;
Shunyi nodded, then Xu Wanying looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Young master, why do you think the beast King is in such a hurry to find you?”
Shunyi chuckled. &Quot; it’s definitely a good thing. Young master has helped them so much. With the temper of the beastmen, there will definitely be benefits for young master. &Quot;
Xu Wanying shook his head. &Quot; I don’t think so. The beast King is very smart. It might not be a good thing for him to look for you this time. Young master, don’t think that your dealings with the herculean divine ox clan have always been very smooth. People at the level of the beast King will think more. He will definitely not trust you completely, even if you have done him a big favor. So, we must be careful when dealing with them in the future. &Quot;
Zhao Hai nodded and said, ” thousand shadows is right. Although the beast King is a Beastman, he is also a King. He has been a beast King for several years, and his position is so stable. This in itself shows his strength and schemes. We have to be careful of him in the future. &Quot;
The three of them chatted for a while before Atai invited Zhao Hai for a meal. After the meal, Atai and the others began to prepare for the exchange, but Zhao Hai didn’t show up.
The next morning, after Zhao Hai had his meal, he took the carriage to the beast King’s office. There were only a few buildings in the entire beast God city, and the most famous one was the beast King Palace.
Although The Orc King Palace was named as a Palace, it wasn’t very big. It couldn’t even be compared to a small castle of the human race. It couldn’t be helped. If the orcs wanted to build a house, they had to kill demon beasts. To the orcs, demon beasts were a valuable asset, and they couldn’t bear to kill too many of them.
Therefore, although the city walls of the beast God city were not bad, the buildings inside were mainly tents. This beast God city was one of the few buildings in the city. It was made up of three three-story buildings and was surrounded by a wall. It was considered an impressive building for the orc clan.
The beast King Palace did not have a fixed master. Every time a beast King was replaced, the new beast King would move into the beast King Palace. When he was no longer a beast King, he would have to move out of the palace.
It could be said that the beast King Palace was the Holy Land to all the orcs. Therefore, the security here was very tight. As soon as Zhao Hai’s carriage stopped outside the beast King Palace, Zhao Hai immediately got off the carriage and looked up at the wall. The wall was not very high, only about 10 meters in height. The words ” beast King Palace ” were carved above the main entrance of the wall. On the wall, there was a flag with a Tiger’s head.
There were four guards from the Tiger clan standing in front of the city gate. They held steel Spears in their hands and had Tiger-tailed whips on their waists. These were already impressive equipment. The four guards were now looking at Zhao Hai coldly.
Zhao Hai tidied up his clothes and walked up to a guard. He saluted the guard with his hand on his chest and said, ” “How are you, orc brother? please help me pass on a message that Zhao Hai has come to see the beast King on his orders.”
Zhao Hai’s words were very sophisticated. He said that he was here on orders so that the beastmen would not be suspicious and would even help him pass on the message.
As expected, the Guard’s expression softened when he heard Zhao Hai’s words. However, he did not move. Instead, he turned to a large tent beside the beast King Palace and said,”Go there and talk. Someone will pass on the message for you.” After Zhao Hai expressed his thanks, he walked into the tent.
The layout of the big tent was very simple. There were a few small tables and a few people sitting behind the small tables. Two of these people were from the Tiger clan and the other two were from the Fox clan.
Zhao Hai didn’t dare to delay. He immediately walked to a table and said to the Tiger Tribe members sitting behind the table, ” “Hello, orc brother. I’m here on the orders of the beast King. Please help me pass on the message.”
The Tiger was not as strong as the average Tiger. Although he was very tall, he was a little thin. Of course, this was only in comparison to the Tiger. If he were compared to Zhao Hai, he would be a big man.
The man looked at Zhao Hai and smiled, ” “So it’s Mr. Zhao Hai. His Majesty has indeed ordered for someone to see you after arriving at the beast God city. Please wait a moment, I’ll go and report.” Zhao Hai quickly expressed his gratitude.
After the shopkeeper left, the remaining five players in the account looked at Zhao Hai curiously. Zhao Hai bowed to them and said, ” &Quot; nice to meet you all. I’m Zhao Hai. This is our first time meeting, so I don’t have much to give you. I’ll just give each of you a bottle of wine. I hope you’ll like it. &Quot; After saying that, he took out five bottles of purified milk wine and placed them on the table.
The few of them laughed. When the orcs met for the first time, they would usually give some small gifts. Zhao Hai’s actions immediately closed the distance between them.
One of the Fox clan members who looked to be quite old smiled and said, ” “Mister Zhao Hai, I’ve long heard of your name. Mister was able to obtain the title of King of the Minotaur race and the flag of friendship between the dog-headed race and the Bearman race. This is enough to prove that Mister is a true friend of our human-beast race. In the future, I hope that Mister can visit the Foxman race more often. We also have some business to discuss with Mister.”
The Foxman race was known for their shrewdness among the ordinary Beastman race who were considered to be very foolish. Many human merchants were unwilling to trade with them because the Foxman race was too shrewd. Sometimes, they would fail to scheme against the Foxman race and would instead be schemed against by the Foxman race.
Zhao Hai didn’t have such thoughts. He smiled at the Fox and said, ” &Quot; it’s my honor to do business with the Fox race. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely pay them a visit. &Quot;
“Alright, we’ll definitely slaughter some sheep for you to eat,” the Fox said with a smile.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps could be heard. The shopkeeper who had just left came back in. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said, ” &Quot; Mr. Zhao Hai, please. His Majesty is waiting for you. &Quot;
Zhao Hai smiled, took out a bottle of milk wine, and placed it on the table he had just sat on. He said to the man with a smile, ” “Thank you, brother. This is just a small gift. You must accept it. Let’s go.”
The Tiger didn’t decline. There was a tradition among the orcs. If you didn’t accept a gift from someone, it meant that you didn’t want to treat the other party as a friend. This was different from the human race. Every time you gave a gift to someone, the human race would definitely decline it. However, this was not the case for the orcs.
The two of them walked out of the tent and went straight into the beast King Palace. This time, the guards did not stop them, and the two of them entered the beast King Palace smoothly.
Zhao Hai was stunned when he arrived at the beast King Palace. There was not a single guard in the palace, nor was there a single Tiger. He only saw Fox tribesmen and half-beast slaves. They were busy in the palace with sheepskin scrolls in their hands.
The beast King Palace wasn’t very big, but it felt like a machine that was running at high speed. It kept on spinning, processing and distributing documents one by one, and then sending in new documents one by one. This cycle repeated itself.
Zhao Hai couldn’t help but sigh. Compared to The Orc King Palace, the Roson Empire’s Palace was Grand, but it lacked the vitality. What a pity.
Under the lead of the Tiger, Zhao Hai quickly arrived at the beast King Palace. In front of the small building in the middle, there was a Tiger Clansman standing upright. He was wearing leather armor and had two Tiger Tail whips on his back.
Zhao Hai and his companion walked to the front of the Tiger. The leading Tiger Man bowed and said, ” “Guard Xu, Mister Zhao Hai has arrived.” Guard Xu nodded and waved his hand. The Tiger Clansman who led the way then turned and left.
Guard Xu looked at Zhao Hai and saluted with his hand on his chest. &Quot; “Sir, please follow me. His Majesty is waiting for you.” After Zhao Hai returned the greeting, the two of them entered the building.
The two of them entered the small building. Zhao Hai was stunned. He had thought that this would be a living room or something. He did not expect it to be the beast King’s study. There were a few large bookshelves with many sheep rolls on them. The ground was covered with a thick wool carpet. In the middle of the room, there was a large Brazier. The flames in the brazier flickered. Not far behind the brazier was a large desk with a chair behind it. The beast King was sitting in the chair. With their heads lowered, they were writing something. A few Foxman race members were standing in front of the bookshelves with their heads lowered.
“Your Majesty, Mister Zhao Hai has arrived,” guard Xu bowed to the beast King.
The beast King raised its head. Zhao Hai quickly stepped forward and saluted the beast King, ” “Zhao Hai has received orders to come and see you, Your Majesty.”
The beast King looked at Zhao Hai and laughed, ” &Quot; alright, don’t stand on ceremony. Come, come and sit. &Quot; As he spoke, he actually stood up and walked to the brazier. The brazier was connected to a circle of stools.
Zhao Hai and the Beast King sat by the brazier. Guard Xu immediately picked up the warm milk wine and poured a cup for each of them. Then, he retreated behind the beast King.
The beast King raised his glass, gestured to Zhao Hai, and drank the milk wine in one gulp.
