Seeing the beast King’s actions, Zhao Hai didn’t dare to delay. He raised his cup and drank the milk wine in one gulp.
He had rarely drunk this kind of pure and unpurified milk wine during this period of time. Although the rancid smell was the strongest in this wine, he had to admit that this rancid smell also added a trace of a different taste to this wine.
The beast King smiled when he saw Zhao Hai drink the milk wine without even frowning. He knew that few humans could get used to the taste of milk wine. Most human merchants would not be able to get used to it even if they stayed in the orc prairies for a few years. However, Zhao Hai did not seem to be pretending. He seemed to like the taste of the milk wine.
The beast King put down his wine cup and guard Xu immediately poured him another cup. The beast King then turned to Zhao Hai and said,”I have to thank you for what happened last time. If it wasn’t for you, our beast clan would have suffered a great loss.”
Zhao Hai also put down his wine cup and guard Xu filled it up for him. Zhao Hai also smiled and replied, &Quot; Your Majesty is too polite. I am friends with the orcs, but I am enemies with the Church of Light. There is no reason for me to help my enemies instead of my friends. &Quot;
The beast King smiled and looked at Zhao Hai, ” &Quot; I asked around and found out that the food you bought from our orc race is cheaper than the food from other human races. Why is that? ”
Zhao Hai laughed. &Quot; there’s nothing strange about it. Those merchants spend a lot on transporting food, but I’m not. I have human equipment, and I’m using my realm to prepare to transport food to the orcs. The cost is much lower. &Quot;
The beast King nodded, but then he smiled and said, ” &Quot; I’m afraid others can’t learn this method. They can’t bear to use spatial equipment to transport food, hehehe. &Quot;
Zhao Hai also smiled. He knew that the beast King was right. No one else could see his ability because they didn’t have a dimension.
The beast King looked at Zhao Hai and continued, ” &Quot; the human merchants don’t dare to come to the orc prairies now. I think this situation will last for a few months. Although we got back a lot of things this time, we will run out of food in a few months. In addition, after this agreement, many small merchants will stop doing food business. I’m afraid that our food shortage will be even bigger in the future, and we will have to buy food at high prices again. Do you have a way to solve this?”
Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; don’t worry, Your Majesty. I have my own matters to attend to. If the orcs need food, they can come and buy it. This is not a problem. Your Majesty, please don’t worry. &Quot;
The beast King was stunned for a moment before its eyes lit up. It looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “You mean you have a lot of food in your hands? The breadfruit?”
&Quot; that’s right, ” Zhao Hai replied with a smile. &Quot; I have a lot of breadfruit and bamboo rice, so you don’t have to worry about food, Your Majesty. &Quot;
The beast King looked at Zhao Hai. He didn’t know whether Zhao Hai was lying or not. He had asked Zhao Hai to come here today to test him and see if he could become a friend of the beast race. If Zhao Hai could, he would give him some benefits in the future. If not, he would not drive Zhao Hai away, but he would be on guard against him.
However, he did not expect Zhao Hai to give such an answer. He knew very well that the amount of food needed by the orcs was an astronomical figure.
Zhao Hai could tell what the beast King was thinking with one look. He smiled and said, ” “Don’t worry, Your Majesty. My territory not only produces bamboo rice and breadfruit, but there are also many other things. To be honest, if I don’t buy food for the orcs but sell it on the human continent, the price of food will definitely fall and I will make enemies with countless people. I don’t want that, so I want to sell food here. First, the price of food here is higher than that of the humans, and second, there is a large demand here. It won’t cause any fluctuations in the market and will only be used to stabilize the market.”
The beast King nodded gently. Although he was a Beast Man, he had been the beast King for a long time. He had some understanding of the human race. He was very clear that among the human merchants, the small merchants did not make much money doing business on the orc Prairie. The big merchants were the ones who made a lot of money.
He knew the price of food in the human world, but he also knew that if the humans wanted to transport food to the orcs, the cost would be much higher. The price of food in the orcs ‘world was high, and other than human factors, the increase in cost was also a big reason.
It was precisely because of this that when he signed the agreement with the Rosen Empire and the other countries, he did not request for the price of food to be equal to that of the humans. That was obviously unrealistic. If he really did that, there would be no more merchants transporting food to the orcs.
The beast King also knew that the clans in the human continent were very powerful. Food was more important to the People’s lives and military affairs, so it was usually controlled by the clans. Once the food price fluctuated, it would have a great impact on the clans.
The beast King also knew a little about the Buda family. The rise of this family could only be described as miraculous. In just a short year, they had gone from a forgotten mid-tier family to the most powerful family in the human continent. This sounded like a legend.
The beast King had gotten this information from a noble when he was at war with the humans. He believed that a human like Zhao Hai must have some sort of reputation among the humans. As expected, he found out that Zhao Hai was very famous among the humans. Most importantly, Zhao Hai did not lie to him. He really had an irreconcilable grudge with the Church of Light.
Now that Zhao Hai had said this, the beast King believed him. Zhao Hai already had a grudge against the Church of Light. If he continued to make enemies with the nobles, he would no longer need to stay with the humans. Moreover, food was too important to the humans. It was not something that the Buda family could handle.
Zhao Hai saw that the beast King believed him and continued, ” “I’m friends with the beastmen. To be honest, I don’t like dealing with humans. It’s too tiring, hehe.”
The beast King looked at Zhao Hai’s expression and suddenly chuckled. Then, he laughed out loud. His voice was very deep and it seemed to have a penetrating power.
The beast king only stopped after a long while. He said in a deep voice, ” “Good, well said. Zhao Hai, from today onwards, you’re a friend of the human-beast hybrid clan and the giant Tiger race.”
The beast King was not only the leader of the orc Alliance, but he was also the king of the giant Tiger Tribe. His prestige in the giant Tiger Tribe was unparalleled, which was why he said that.
Zhao Hai was overjoyed when he heard the beast King’s words. He knew very well how important the beast King’s words were. With the beast King’s words, it would be much more convenient for him to travel among the beastmen in the future. Even some of the famous Bandit clans would give him some face.
Zhao Hai quickly stood up and bowed to the beast King, ” “Zhao Hai thanks Your Majesty beast King.”
The beast King waved his hand nonchalantly, gesturing for Zhao Hai to sit down. He then continued,”In the future, the food of our beast clan will be handed to you. Do you think that the beast clan really likes to fight? “Sometimes, the beastmen have to fight. The big tribes Rob the small tribes” food for survival, and the small tribes Rob the smaller tribes “food for survival. In the process of fighting, many people will die, but these people who die can save a lot of food, and this food can often save more people’s lives. The beastmen are so miserable!”
Zhao Hai looked at the beast King and didn’t know what to say. The beast King was telling the truth. Did the orcs really want to fight? That was impossible. No race was born to fight to the death. They were fighting for survival.
With a sigh, the beast King turned to Zhao Hai and said, ” “Over the years, it’s not that we didn’t want to cooperate with the human race, but those humans didn’t put us in their eyes at all. They treated us as a foreign race, as barbarians, and even as wild beasts. They only wanted to get more benefits from us. “Zhao Hai, what you said outside the iron wall fortress moved me. You said that humans and orcs are the same in your eyes. They’re all intelligent races. That moved me. If the orcs can still cooperate with that human, then you’re the only one.”
Zhao Hai looked at the beast King but did not say anything. He knew that these were the beast King’s heartfelt words. The beast King truly thought so.
Zhao Hai glanced at the beast King and said calmly, ” &Quot; Your Majesty, I will keep my word. I treat the beastmen like humans. Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about cooperating with me. &Quot;
The beast King nodded and patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder, ” “Alright, I believe in you. I hope you can do it.”
&Quot; don’t worry, Your Majesty, ” Zhao Hai said with a smile. &Quot; by the way, I’ll treat you to a drink today. &Quot; With that said, he flipped his hand and took out a bottle of milk wine.
The beast King looked at the bottle of wine that Zhao Hai took out. He had seen this wine before. The herculean bull tribe and the Bearman tribe both had this kind of wine and had even given him some. To be honest, he really liked this kind of wine. Most importantly, this wine was clearly milk wine, but it was completely different from the milk wine they drank.
The beast King didn’t decline and drank the milk wine in the cup. Only then did Zhao Hai pour another cup for him. The beast King took a sip and nodded. It tasted the same as the milk wine that the bear tribe had brought.
Zhao Hai looked at the beast King and smiled, ” &Quot; Your Majesty, perhaps we can work together to produce this wine. What do you think? ”
The beast King was taken aback. It then looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Of course, it knew what this cup of wine represented. This cup of wine represented a huge benefit, an incomparably huge benefit.
The last time he went to the human continent, he had asked someone to inquire about it. This milk wine was very popular with the human race, and the price was very high. If Zhao Hai really cooperated with them, it would definitely be a business that would bring huge benefits to the orc race.
