Chapter 456: 404, Kaur Holy Mountain (Please subscribe.)_1
Fang Hao had just bid farewell to the elderly clan leader of the Blackfoot Cat Tribe.
He then saw the skeleton merchant Doujin, accompanied by a small figure, coming his way.
Upon seeing Fang Hao, he politely bowed and announced, “My lord, Mr. Moru from the Trade Alliance has come to pay you a visit.”
Moru was a goblin cashier that Fang Hao knew.
The goblins seemed small and comical.
But they excelled in goblin technology and had keen minds.
In the Trade Alliance, they often held high positions.
Moru was a goblin cashier that Fang Hao was acquainted with.
Last time, during the battle, Moru could be seen trailing behind the person in charge of the base, signifying his high status.
Hearing Doujin’s words, Fang Hao immediately smiled warmly and said, “Mr. Moru, please come in, why didn’t you notify me beforehand about your visit?”
Moru entered the lord’s hall, greeted with a smile, “Good morning, the esteemed Lord Fang Hao.”
In the past, Moru used to refer to Fang Hao as the ‘young undead’.
But ever since he found out that Fang Hao had a dark gold level hero for protection, he dared not casually address a mighty lord.
Maintaining respect towards the strong is a necessary condition for the goblins to survive on this continent.
“Good morning, have a seat and let’s chat.” Fang Hao gestured for him to sit down.
The petite Moru sat down on a chair and without wasting a moment, his smile faded, and he made clear his intention, “Mr. Fang Hao, I am here regarding the incident at the auction last time. The Trade Alliance has made a decision.”
Fang Hao had a hunch about Moru’s purpose for visiting.
After all, three days had passed and given the efficiency of the Trade Alliance, it was high time a result was produced.
Fang Hao nodded and asked, “So, what was the outcome?”
“We from the Trade Alliance are deeply sorry for such a terrible incident occurring at our base. Shirel has been relieved of his leadership position, and the Flower Demon too will be awaited for further interrogation. By that time, the ‘Dreamy Forest’ should be reaching out to you, trying to seek your forgiveness,” Moru spoke clearly.
The incident at the last auction didn’t cause Fang Hao any loss.
The goods he purchased were given for free and his membership was upgraded to gold. That was the compensation the Trade Alliance offered to Fang Hao.
The main purpose of Moru’s visit today was to inform Fang Hao about the Trade Alliance’s disposal methods regarding Shirel and the Fairy Clan.
Fang Hao thought for a while and realized he didn’t need to pick a fight with the Trade Alliance, especially since he would need to use this platform to sell his goods in the future.
“Alright, I am satisfied with the way the Trade Alliance has handled the matter, but I hope these two won’t be let off by the Trade Alliance until I hear from the ‘Dreamy Forest’,” said Fang Hao.
“You can rest assured on that matter, we are equally outraged by the actions of the Fairy Clan,” Moru solemnly said.
“That’s good.”
Both of them had achieved their desired outcomes, hence the atmosphere relaxed significantly afterwards.
Fang Hao realized that the reason he was treated with such importance by the Trade Alliance, and even received compensation and an official apology after the incident, wasn’t because the Trade Alliance was easygoing, but because of Rolana’s status as a dark gold level hero.
If Rolana hadn’t been present at the time, and Fang Hao had only brought Demitrija and Anjia, although they could have defeated Shirel, there would have been no chance of receiving compensation from the Trade Alliance nor a visit from Moru.
At the end of the day, truth is based on strength.
Fang Hao had the maid bring fruit wine, and Moru didn’t hesitate to taste it.
“By the way, Mr. Moru, is the Dreamy Forest where the Fairy Clan resides?” Fang Hao asked casually.
The Fairy Clan is a rather rare race.
Since they possess a purple hero and most of their troops have reached the 7th or 8th rank, they should be quite powerful.
However, as his territory expanded, he only came across the Fairy Clan a couple of times at the Trade Alliance outpost.
Fairy Clan’s ‘Dreamy Forest’ is truly an interesting place, indeed.” After drinking a glass of fruit wine, Moru continued to say, “When I was young, I was fortunate enough to visit the Dreamy Forest once. There’s a small bridge at the entrance there. If you’re a bad person, your footprints on the bridge would be black, but if you’re a good person, the footprints would be blue. Quite interesting, wouldn’t you agree?”
“That is indeed interesting,” Fang Hao curiously asked, “Then how do they distinguish good people from bad people? Is it based on the faction or faith?”
“Ha, I’m not sure about that, but my footprints were blue, and they were warm and courteous to me.” Moru laughed heartily.
“Oh, come on, you’re from the Trade Alliance, even if your footprints were black, they wouldn’t drive you away,” Fang Hao retorted.
Moru was stunned, and that was indeed the case.
Nevertheless, he added, “Stepping on blue footprints is a good thing, isn’t it? Who would want to be the bad guy?”
“You’re right,” Fang Hao took a sip of wine and continued to ask, “The Fairy Clan seems to be in desperate need of the ‘Heart of Asha’. They were willing to take action within the outpost just to get the ‘Heart of Asha.”
“Um… I don’t know about that, it’s quite common that a fallen race, like the Fairy Clan needs certain items to save their race from extinction,” Moru glanced at Fang Hao and said in a low voice.
It seemed that there were some things Moru did not wish to reveal.
After all, the Trade Alliance had to maintain neutrality.
Revealing information about the different races casually could result in serious consequences.
