Chapter 515: 427, Fairy Clan's Compensation_3
“Mr Fang Hao, the Fairy Clan has already taken away the two prisoners. The Trade Alliance will also make sure they deliver the promised two thousand people.” Moru jumped onto a nearby seat and continued speaking.
“Well, I must thank you as well, Mr Moru, for your mediation. Without your help, we wouldn’t have resolved this issue so quickly.” Fang Hao said with a smile.
“Haha, it’s something the Trade Alliance should do.” Moru laughed.
Soon after, his laughter faded a little, and he continued, “This morning, Mr Fang Hao, your words truly scared me. I thought you were going to start a war with the Fairy Clan.”
“Scared? When did that happen?” Fang Hao was puzzled by Moru’s words.
Although he did hike up the price a bit, he didn’t have any thoughts about starting a war.
He wondered what words he said gave Moru the impression that he was preparing for war.
Moru candidly said, “It was when you demanded the Oak Amber. You don’t know how much I sweated.”
“Oak Amber, is there a problem?” Fang Hao was still clueless about what could be wrong.
He might’ve asked for a little too much, considering his lack of knowledge about the difficulty to collect Amber.
But it surely wouldn’t lead to a war, right?
Seeing Fang Hao’s incomprehension, Moru realized that Fang Hao was unaware of underlying details.
Ironically, it was Moru who had talked about the situation in the Dreamy Forest with Fang Hao.
“You don’t know who Shinisara is?” Moru asked.
“The leader of the Fairy Clan! I know that.”
Hearing Fang Hao’s reply, Moru understood that he indeed wasn’t fully aware.
He then explained, “Shinisara is the Oak in the Dreamy Forest.”
Oh, shit!
Hearing Moru’s explanation, it dawned on him why the atmosphere turned so tense during the negotiation.
Shinisara was the huge Oak in the center of the Dreamy Forest, and the oak amber was the resin exuded by Shinisara, which then hardened into amber.
If the fairies were to consider Shinisara as their mother,
Then his demand for amber could indeed be misunderstood as a provocation or insult.
“I didn’t know, and last time you told me that it was a giant oak, you didn’t mention it could move!” Fang Hao explained, shifting the blame onto Moru.
“If the fairies were indeed powerful, we might have actually ended up in an all-out war.”
“So you’re saying, that Oak tree has gained spirits and turned into a human?” Fang Hao continued to ask.
This world, births many incredulous entities.
Flower Demons, tree spirits, all borne from nature.
An Oak tree gaining spirits also seems reasonable.
Moru answered, “I don’t know much either, I just know Shinisara is that gigantic Oak and the leader of the Dreamy Forest.”
Moru was just an ordinary clerk.
Because he belonged to the Trade Alliance, he had learned a lot about various races.
However, most of his knowledge was only superficial.
“I see.” Fang Hao finally understood.
At this point, the maid announced that dinner was ready.
Fang Hao invited Moru to join him for dinner.
Moru didn’t refuse. As they chatted casually, he praised Eira’s cooking skills.
He even vowed that if Eira were to open a restaurant in the settlement, it would definitely be a hit.
…
After dinner, Moru bid farewell to Fang Hao and teleported away.
After taking a walk around his territory,
He headed to the hot springs, to enjoy the service provided by Eira and Anjia.
And just as he was indulging in the comfort,
The long-absent system notification suddenly appeared.
