Juno and Billy had only heard of the blackdirt wastelands but had never been there. The dwarves had left the blackdirt wastelands long ago, so they did not know much about it.
&Quot; it’s a good thing we left early, ” Zhao Hai continued. &Quot; otherwise, we would have died there. Who would’ve thought that the blackearth wilderness would be covered by the poisonous mist of the rotten corpse swamp? no one who went in came out alive. &Quot; At this point, Zhao Hai pretended to sigh and continued, ” &Quot; fortunately, the heavens didn’t give up on my Buda family. When I was in the black soil wilderness, I wanted to go over and die, but I didn’t expect that after entering the rotten corpse swamp, I would obtain this magic staff. Not only did it cure the poison of the water of nothingness in my body, but I could also use black magic. Moreover, I also had this spatial special technique. Although the spatial special technique can’t attack, black magic can. With this magic staff, I can create countless undead creatures. So I used the identity of a Black Mage to act on the continent.”
Juno and Billy knew the rest of the story. The two of them knew a little about the history of the Buda family’s prosperity, and it was because of this that they were very impressed with Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai didn’t tell them where the 9th rank experts who had helped him came from, so they didn’t ask. They knew that those 9th rank experts were the Buda family’s trump card, and no one would reveal it so easily. Zhao Hai was already giving them face by telling them this.
Juno snorted coldly. &Quot; the Arkas Empire is a fool. It was caused by the Church of Light. It was originally the second most powerful country on the continent, but now it has become the weakest existence. They deserve what they have today. &Quot;
Billy snorted. &Quot; those lunatics from the Church of Light really think they’re the spokesperson of God. They want to meddle in everything, including the affairs of the dwarves. They don’t know that the godly weapon has a special connection with the dwarves. They want to send spies to the dwarves. They’re tired of living. &Quot;
Zhao Hai laughed bitterly, ” “It’s not just the dwarves, but the beastmen as well. Last winter, I was doing business with the beastmen on the plains, and I met the current patriarch of the vigorous divine ox clan, Wells. As soon as I met him, he received news that the eldest Prince of the vigorous divine ox clan had rebelled and killed the old patriarch. Wells was someone who could compete with the eldest Prince for the throne, but he was traveling at the time. The bullfighting race claimed that the first Prince had yet to gain a stable footing, so they pretended to join him and then rebelled, killing the first Prince and almost exterminating the herculean divine ox race. In the end, the herculean divine ox race had no choice but to escape to the territory of the dog-headed people, who were on good terms with them. Only then did they finally settle down.”
Juno and Billy didn’t know what had happened on the plains. They didn’t have much contact with the orcs. Most of the food and oil produced by Juno’s family had been given to the dwarves, so they didn’t trade with the orcs. They didn’t know anything about what had happened on the plains.
It wasn’t just them. Even the other human merchants who did business with the orcs didn’t know what had happened to the herculean divine ox tribe. So when they heard Zhao Hai talk about the orcs ‘grasslands, they perked up their ears.
Zhao Hai continued, ” &Quot; when Weyers received the news, the bullfighting clan had already sent people to hunt him down. I had a lot of food with me, so I followed Weyers to the dog-headed people’s territory. I used my food to help them get reinforcements from the dog-headed people. During the winter, when it was snowing, they launched a counterattack against the bullfighting clan and destroyed bullfighting Fang in one fell swoop. I took back the position of the king of the bullfighting clan because I was grateful for their help. Thus, Weyers and I took the oath of beheading the beastmen and became foreign princes of the herculean bull tribe.”
At first, the two of them were curious as to why Zhao Hai could become a foreign prince of the orc race and had such a good relationship with the orcs. Now that Zhao Hai explained it, they finally understood why. No wonder Zhao Hai had such a good relationship with the orcs. He had done it.
“A blood oath of decapitation? did you really make a blood oath of decapitation with the orcs?” Billy asked Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai nodded.
Juno looked at Billy in confusion. &Quot; “What is a beheading blood oath? Why does this oath sound so bloody?”
Billy forced a smile and said, ” the beheading blood oath is the most important oath among the orcs. Even two orcs won’t use the beheading blood oath easily, because as long as the two people use the beheading blood oath, they will be brothers for the rest of their lives. If the one who wants to betray him will be punished by the beast God. This is not a joke. Once it is used, it will be impossible to betray him. &Quot;
Hearing Billy’s words, Juno heaved a sigh of relief. He now completely believed what Zhao Hai had said about his status among the beastmen.
Zhao Hai looked at the two of them and nodded, ” “That’s right, it was because of this blood oath that I was able to get to know so many beastmen and form a good relationship with them. It was only because of this that the beast King agreed to cooperate with me in the milk wine business.”
Juno sighed. &Quot; it’s easy for you to say, but it’s hard to do it. I can see from your cooperation with the beastmen that you don’t look down on them at all. It’s because of this that the beastmen are willing to accept you. The human merchants on the continent only want to get more benefits from the beastmen every day. The beastmen aren’t fools. Can’t they see that? Under such circumstances, it would be strange if they believed those merchants.”
Billy sighed and said, ” actually, our situation is similar to the orcs. It’s just that the humans need the things we produce more. Those human merchants try to get benefits from us when they work with us. They try to squeeze us dry. So, we don’t have many friends these years. Other than you, the only one we have is Mr. Zhao Hai. &Quot;
Juno snorted coldly. &Quot; actually, the cause of this incident is also the Church of Light. I remember that in the beginning, people didn’t think that there was anything bad about being a foreign race, especially the dwarf blacksmiths. They were very popular on the continent. Some dwarves would even open their own blacksmiths in the big cities on the continent, and business was very good. Furthermore, the beastmen would come to the continent and become mercenaries, forming teams with the humans to hunt magical beasts. &Quot;
Zhao Hai looked at Juno in surprise. He really did not know about this. Beila continued, ” &Quot; that’s right, but the people of the church of Light started to spread the word that the foreign races were inferior and didn’t like to live with humans. Their priests never treated the foreign races, saying that it was blasphemy against the God of Light. Just like that, more and more people thought that the foreign races were inferior and didn’t like to sit with them. Later, they started to drive the foreign races out. The orcs no longer went to the mainland to be mercenaries, and we dwarves no longer opened blacksmiths. &Quot;
When Zhao Hai heard Billy and Juno’s words, he was stunned for a moment. Then, his expression changed. He immediately recalled what iron hammer had said the night before. In the heavenly realm, the gods of the human race had fought a war with the alien race, so they wanted to send people down to wipe out a few alien races. Could the Church of Light have received instructions from the human God in the heavenly realm to do so? If that was the case, things would be complicated.
However, Zhao Hai did not voice out his suspicions. He only connected these few things in his head. He realized that there was a high possibility that these things were related. If he was right, then the existence of the Church of Light would be a big problem. Moreover, the Church of Light might have a very strong backing!
