After discussing the mission, Shado immediately cast a spell in the reception room, first determining the location of the Langas tribe, and then leaving a magic mark on each of the three Fishers to indicate the location.
After that, he reminded: "You go to Zenis first. That tribe is not far southwest of the Zenis Peninsula. It will not be difficult to find it according to the guidance of the magic mark when you get there."
"Yes." The three of them answered together.
"Then let's go, I'm waiting for your good news!"
"Sir, I have a question——"
"what is the problem?"
Xia Duo, who was about to leave, suddenly stopped and stared at Anthony, who was a little embarrassed. This guy just promised well, is he going to regret it now?
Or are you not satisfied with the reward of a temporary mission and want more?
"Sir, I-I can't afford the teleportation fee to the Crescent Tower!"
Being stared at by three people at the same time, and two more of whom would be his next companions, Anthony was almost extremely embarrassed at this moment, lowering his head, only revealing the reddish tips of his ears.
For a high-level mage to be able to reach this level, he is considered a master. Sha Duo never thought that one day a high-level mage would not be able to even pay the usage fee for the teleportation circle.
"I ignored it!"
Xia Duo didn't say anything else, but quickly took out a stack of gold coin exchange vouchers and distributed them to the three of them, "Let's go!"
The three of them took the money, but nothing happened this time, and they left quickly.
Sha Duo chatted with Ava for a while, told him to continue recruiting, and then quickly returned to the Austrian Fire Federation to start testing the new plan of the Austrian Fire.
…
the next day.
Xia Duo came to the laboratory early. Today was the day for actual testing of the arcane fire device of the old plan. It was also the day he had been looking forward to, the day when he could search for arcane crystals on a large scale.
Before Iolum arrived, Shado wanted to see how the three Fishers had completed their mission, so he cast a detection spell targeting the magic marks on those three people——
It was a tribal settlement on the edge of the forest. There was a vague presence in the center of the tribe that interfered with detection spells. However, the three Fishers were not in the center of the tribe, but in a tent-like detachable house on the edge.
At this time, the three of them were sitting upright behind Arman. Fisher had his eyes closed and was concentrating, as if he was on vacation, while Anthony and Cork had obviously droopy faces, as if they were a little unhappy.
"The Greyhawk tribe wants us to send people to participate in the Blood Trial with them, and we will be willing to continue talking if we beat them. Do you think we should agree?" Arman asked, stroking the sparse beard on his chin.
As soon as he finished speaking, a steward of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce started arguing without any scruples: "What are you promising? They don't allow mages to participate. How could ordinary people like us win over those barbarians!"
"Don't you have a group of elite guards under you? I don't think they can beat those barbarians!"
"Hmph! The Blood Trial requires blood. The people trained by the Chamber of Commerce at a huge cost should not be lost in such a barbaric sport. Besides, the Blood Trial not only involves duels, but also hunting. How can we compare?
Pass them."
"Okay, stop arguing. Again, we are Langas, not barbarians. Be careful next time. If I mention it in front of the lord, I have to make you look good!" Arman quickly reminded me.
He continued: "Other tribes allow mages to participate in the blood trial. After all, the Langas also have spellcasters like shamans.
"It's just that the Gray Eagle Tribe was disgraced by the three mages sent by the lord, so they deliberately banned the mages from participating.
"We feel that we should follow their wishes and show sincerity as much as possible. After all, our power has just been demonstrated. As long as we let them see our sincerity, I believe they will make a wise choice in the end.
"Think about it, once the Gray Eagle tribe is naturalized, more than a dozen small tribes around it will also become naturalized at the same time. All our tasks for this year, next year, and the year after will be completed."
The strength of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce is far greater than that of the other three chambers of commerce, not to mention that the current Liaton Chamber of Commerce also has a group of elven relatives. As the real power manager of the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, Arman's words are still very weighty.
But the problem was back to the beginning, when the steward of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce asked: "Then who should be sent to participate in the blood trial? It is very likely that there will be no return!
"You have to know that Langas people are not only found here, why do you have to fight against this hard rock? As for the tasks next year and the year after next, it won't be too late to talk about it then, right?"
In this regard, Arman shook his head, "The Gray Eagle Tribe has a good reputation in Langas Plains. Once we hate them, it will probably affect our subsequent recruitment plan. This is why I asked you not to do it when they did it before.
The main reason for resistance."
After thinking about it, Arman put forward his own opinion, "For the ten places in the Blood Trial, our Liaton Chamber of Commerce will provide five people, and the other five will be provided by your three families. In addition, the compensation and even pension for these ten people will also be provided by
We, the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, are responsible.”
When the manager of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce heard this, he immediately slapped his chest and said, "No, we can't even afford a little compensation and pension. Aren't we just ten people? Our Slavin Chamber of Commerce is here!"
"Black-faced wolf, can you really make the decision? Don't use ten slaves to fool others. This is not our own business. If it delays the lord's plan, I will see what you will do!"
The steward of the Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce, who had been silent before, suddenly reminded him.
The steward of the Slavin Chamber of Commerce, who was known as the "Black-faced Wolf", suddenly thought of something. He quickly looked in the direction of the three Fishers and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that, how could I forget the lord?"
What a big plan!”
"Okay, stop talking, just do as I say. We will have five people from the Liaton Chamber of Commerce, and you can discuss the remaining five."
Arman knew that he had to make a decision at this moment. Midsummer had just passed, and autumn and winter were coming soon. The Blood Trial was in autumn and winter. At the same time, autumn and winter were also the most serious times for tribal annexation on the Langas Plain.
If the Gray Eagle tribe doesn't handle the matter well, even if they go to find other tribes, the Gray Eagle tribe may eliminate the target tribe in advance, or send people to slander them.
And agreeing to the Blood Trial proposed by the Gray Eagle Tribe is the fastest and easiest way to deal with the matter here.
…
At the same time, Shado, who noticed the decision made by Arman and others, instinctively frowned. It was not that he opposed Arman's approach, but that he was dissatisfied with the bloody trial method.
But he also understood that when the most basic survival was at stake, no amount of talking about morality or human nature would help. It only strengthened his idea of pulling people from the Langas Plains.
He is not plundering the population, but saving the Langas who are in dire straits.
