Translator: 549690339

Fake Elsa left with her attendant Heel, and as for the other laborers, they were all given as gifts to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

Most of them were humanoid races such as Halflings or Dwarves, and occasionally there were some brown-bearded dwarves.

In the Council Chamber, Saru was reporting to Otto about the cooperation matters.

The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was quite generous, and the prices for various goods and materials were reasonable.

After confirmation by Gaz, who was from Black Gold City, the Land of the Soaring Dragon didn’t suffer any losses and even gained advantages in many places.

However, the other party also made a request, which was to hope that the future trade with Nolan Forest could be handled by the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce alone.

As for this, Otto had no major objections since the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was the only one that had visited the Land of the Soaring Dragon so far.

Moreover, he didn’t want to have too much contact with other outsiders. After the battle with the Thunder Legion, the Land of the Soaring Dragon also needed some time to recuperate.

According to Saru’s report, the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce will send dedicated personnel to conduct trade in the near future.

The materials they wanted to purchase from the Land of the Soaring Dragon mainly included sweet vines, animal skins, and various rare medicinal herbs,

etc…

What Otto didn’t expect was that the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce also showed a deep interest in the White Larva Mushrooms.

Last time the Ogre sent back the White Larva Mushrooms to the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Longfang took over and, after a period of research, Longfang has been able to artificially cultivate White Larva Mushrooms.

He also discovered that occasionally feeding some rotting meat could speed up the growth of the White Larva Mushroom, apart from the rotten wood.

Now he has successfully bred a considerable number of White Larva Mushroom seedlings, but it will take some time for them to grow up.

Fake Elsa stated that the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was willing to book all the White Larva Mushrooms in advance and also paid many deposits in advance.

However, for Otto, gold coins were at most just cute little trinkets.

So after consulting Otto’s opinion, Saru asked the other party to exchange them for equivalent slaves and materials.

Apart from that, all the trade between the two parties was traded in kind, and the Land of the Soaring Dragon currently lacked various weapons, equipment, and production tools.

Even the Torsion Ballista, Saru had also ordered a few from the other party.

For the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, this was indeed a big deal, so Fake Elsa waved her hand generously and directly gifted the Torsion Ballista to the Land of the Soaring Dragon for free.

As for the delivery date, it would be about a week later when the cargo would pass through the former Thunder Legion territory, and goods and materials from Nolan Forest and Black Gold City would be traded.

After Saru left, Otto took out the continental map provided by the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.

This map was expensive, but it was also drawn more accurately, and it even included some local customs.

Using this map, Otto could easily find the location of Nolan Forest in the upper right corner of the map.

The geographical situation around Nolan Forest was similar to what the ancestors of the lizardmen had said, but in addition to Lait, the country bordering Nolan Forest to the west was Dilant.

As for the two recently-learned human empires, they were still far away, and to reach them, they would have to pass through a considerable distance called Harvest Bay.

And if they choose the overland route, they would have to pass through Dilant, Farrand, and Felton, three human countries, before reaching the Western Empire Felkorde.

Moreover, Otto discovered on the map an area of Dawn Forest, which was much larger than Nolan Forest.

It was sandwiched between several human countries and faced the sea to the east.

Just like the Castilla Empire, to get there, one could choose to take a sea route from Lait, or they could also pass through two human countries.

But no matter which route they took, Dawn Forest didn’t border Lait, so Otto was curious about how Sofia was sold to Lait.

Was it really by sea?

But with the strength of a small country like Lait, how could they possibly have the courage to attack the tribe of high-ranking Elves?

Logically, they would only dare to act as pirates on the sea and plunder some ordinary merchant ships.

“Ah… There are really too many things I can’t figure out…”

At this moment, Saru, who had just left not long ago, came back in.

“What’s wrong?”

Otto looked at the old lizardman with some confusion.

Saru bowed respectfully to Otto and then said, “Your Majesty, the Kobolds mining ores in the Sulfur Mountains have discovered something interesting.”

At Otto’s urging, Saru continued, “The army of Lait is attacking Mido and is advancing rapidly. If nothing unexpected happens, Mido will soon be swallowed by Lait.”

“Mido?”

Otto’s gaze returned to the map and soon found the human country of Mido, which was slightly smaller than Lait in terms of territory.

This country bordered the Sulfur Mountains and Skyline Mountains and was small but very wealthy.

Because they had some dealings with the dwarves in the Skyline Mountains, many sophisticated weapons produced by the dwarves were brought into the human countries through Mido.

Many of the merchant ships in Harvest Bay were there to trade with Mido and Caran, a human country in the Skyline Mountains.

If Otto were the new king of Lait, he would probably also be unable to resist targeting Mido.

With such a small territory and population, yet so rich, and with so many fine weapons, especially dwarf-made ones, it would indeed be a necessary choice.

Moreover, in order to prevent being attacked from both sides, it is optimal to take down Mido at the rear first and then find a way to face the armies of Farrand, Tal, and Dilant.

To be honest, Otto had become a little interested in the new king of Lait. So he asked, “Is the war between Lait and Mido still going on?”

The old lizardman thought for a moment and said, “It should be. Their main battlefield is right beside the Sulfur Mountains. To prevent the war from spreading to the mountains, the Soaring Dragon Legion has sent Hawkmen and Chimeras to monitor and defend.’

Now the Sulfur Mountains were the most vital metal ore production area for the Soaring Dragon Legion, and even the workshops for producing simple iron weapons had been established there.

In addition to supplying weapons and equipment for the Soaring Dragon Legion, Sofia and Moray’s many magical researchers also depended on various magic techniques produced there, so naturally, there shouldn’t be any accidents.

“I’m going to see for myself. I’ll leave the Land of the Soaring Dragon to you for now.”

The old lizardman hesitated for a moment, but still respectfully replied, “As you wish!”
