Chapter 75 - 75: 074 Negotiation_l
First, Longfang had to lead the Quilboar and the Goblins to fill in the pits that had obliterated the Wolf Cavalry.
When the Quilboar left, the room became quieter.
Saru looked at Link with interest and finally asked, “What is the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce?”
With that, he glanced at Gaz beside him and asked, “I think I’ve heard you mention this name before…
“Yes.”
Gaz nodded then pointed at Link, saying, “The Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce is the largest in Black Gold City. This werewolf’s full name is Link Bauhinia.
He is a poor relative of the Lady Bauhinia, the head of the chamber.”
“I see…”
Saru nodded, while Link remained silent.
However, he really wanted to shout that he was the rightful heir to the Bauhinia family.
But many things cannot be accomplished just by talking.
Since Link remained quiet, Gaz was the person who knew the most about the subject.
After collecting his thoughts, Gaz said, “Perhaps through Link’s connections, we can buy many scarce supplies from the Nolan Forest at favorable prices from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
For instance, ironware, preserved food, or even some slaves with a certain level of craftsmanship.”
It sounded promising as though they could get many urgently needed supplies for the Land of the Soaring Dragon from the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce, but could things really go smoothly?
Saru frowned, “We don’t have enough money to buy these things, and to reach Black Gold City, we have to pass through the northern part of Nolan Forest. Will the Thunder Legion let us pass so easily?”
“As for money, we can use local specialties like animal skins as substitutes.
Every day, Black Gold City has merchants from various races and countries coming and going, and many common items from Nolan Forest can be traded for a good price.”
Gaz offered his opinion, but he was also troubled about the Thunder Legion. “The fools in the north definitely won’t let us pass easily.
Although we can bypass them, it would waste a lot of time and increase the possibility of accidents.”
The issue of cooperating with the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce was discussed for a long time between Gaz and Saru.
Meanwhile, Link stood silently at the side, but his heart was not as calm as it seemed.
The atmosphere in the Land of the Soaring Dragon was significantly different from other monster dens. Addressing various issues seemed to be handled more rationally.
Such degree was far beyond the typical monster clans. Had he not known that he was still in the Nolan Forest, he might have thought he was still in Black Gold City.
Finally, Gaz and Saru came up with a relatively prudent plan regarding the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce.
If the Land of the Soaring Dragon urgently needed supplies that only the Bauhinia Chamber of Commerce could provide,
Gaz would take Link and ride Wargs for a swift round trip.
If it was just the two of them, even if they were discovered by the Thunder Legion, they would still have a high chance of escaping.
Although Link was involved in this plan, which seemed dangerous, he had no right to refuse.
Lastly, Saru said to Link, “I don’t know much about your Wolf Cavalry, so I don’t want to interfere too much.
From now on, you and your wolf pups will be under Gaz’s command. He will lead your daily training and hunting.”
Link had no objections to this and didn’t dare to bring any up even if he had any.
By the time he left Saru’s house with Gaz, Link felt somewhat dazed.
Had they just let him go so easily?
Perhaps noticing his confusion, Gaz chuckled, “Don’t think it’s over that easily. Passing Saru’s test is far from enough.
Only with His Majesty Otto’s approval can you truly survive.”
Hearing this, Link’s mood became uneasy again. Would a huge dragon really forgive him and Longfang?
Generally, most dragons would view werewolves and Quilboar as insignificant as ants.
And now these ants dared to invade their territory. It’s reasonable to assume that most dragons would not let them go.
But he heard that the master of the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Otto, was a silver Metal Dragon.
Silver Dragons were known as Virtuous Dragons. If he was such a kind dragon, it would be normal for him to spare them.
At the same time, Link started to worry. Could a kind dragon stand firm in the Nolan Forest?
In this cruel and primitive jungle, praising someone as kind was the same as cursing him as a fool who wouldn’t live long.
That’s why he preferred the powerful and brutal Red Dragon, believing that only such a colossus could become the ultimate winner.
Gaz didn’t know how much Link had thought about in that moment. He took
Link to where the other werewolves were bound.
Some werewolves had already awakened from their stupor and were struggling, even biting the vines tied around them with their teeth.
But it was all in vain. A few Lizardmen were in charge of guarding them nearby.
If a werewolf managed to bite off one or two vines wrapped around them, these Lizardmen would enthusiastically tie them up again with more vines.
Occasionally, they would tie the werewolf’s mouth as a reward.
Upon seeing Link, the previously agitated werewolves gradually calmed down.
After their leader explained the situation, they readily accepted their new reality.
The Land of the Soaring Dragon was in the process of forming its own cavalry force, but Gaz alone couldn’t handle it.
Now with the help of Link, a professional, the problem was solved.
It wouldn’t be long before the Land of the Soaring Dragon would have a group of Wolf Cavalry apart from the werewolves.
By the next day, the situation in the Land of the Soaring Dragon had completely stabilized.
Saru had Longfang build new houses in the Land of the Soaring Dragon for Quilboar and werewolves to live, while also making it convenient for supervision.
Since the issue was almost resolved, Saru felt it necessary to report the situation to Otto, so he took out the green scale given to him by Otto.
In a moment, Otto’s voice came from the other end, “What’s the matter?” Saru wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but Otto’s voice seemed tired.
However, without giving it much thought, Saru briefly informed Otto of what had happened in the Land of the Soaring Dragon during these days.
After he finished speaking, Otto’s calm voice came from the scale, “Hmm, you did well. You didn’t disappoint me.”
With that, Otto ended the communication.
Although it was just one sentence, it still made the old Lizardman feel that his efforts these days were worthwhile..
