The Beastmen were very strange. If you give them a gift, no matter how valuable it is, they would accept it. Even if they know that you're helping them, they would still accept it without hesitation. But if you take out wine during a meal, unless you're a family member, they would think that you're looking down on them. That would be a big problem for them.
However, the original flavor of the Beastman barbecued meat was quite unique. This was the first time that Megan and Lizzy had tasted pure Beastman Milk Wine, so they weren't too unaccustomed to it. After all, they had tasted purified Milk Wine before, so the taste wasn't too different.
During this meal, Zhao Hai and the others ate until they were full. They also drank a lot of wine. Being a guest of the Beastmen was like this, the more you eat, the happier they would be.
After the meal, it was already quite late. Zhao Hai and the others returned to their tents. It was impossible for them to talk about the grain trade with the Black Bears today.
When Zhao Hai returned to his tent, no one was coming. Just as he was about to enter the Space, Mendez and Buffon arrived. This made Zhao Hai stare, he quickly had Laura invite them in.
The two looked a bit tipsy, but it can be seen that they weren't drunk. Zhao Hai quickly prepared some Spatial Water for the two, but the two didn't touch the water. Buffon looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Zhao Hai, we just told the Black Bear Patriarch about the Radiant Church. But now it seems like we told him too early."
Zhao Hai stared, Mendez also had a guilty look on his face as he said, "Right, we told him too early. The Black Bears are short on grain, but they didn't immediately talk to you about it. It seems like they want to wait until the war starts before they rob the Humans. Because of this, they didn't want to buy anything from you. Really, who said that the Black Bears are honest, how can they be so scheming? That's not being a good friend. "
When he heard the two, Zhao Hai understood what was going on. He couldn't help but smile and said, "It's fine, you're thinking too much. The Black Bears are in a difficult situation right now, so it's normal for them to buy less food. Actually, I'll be honest with you, if the Beastmen weren't lacking in food, I wouldn't have taken out these Bread Fruits. In my territory, I'm currently using them to make wine. If I can make it, my income would be several times more than the Bread Fruits. Therefore, you don't need to worry, it's fine."
Mendez sighed and said, "Thank you, Little Hai. If there are more Humans like you, then the Beastmen and the Humans would never have a war."
Zhao Hai bitterly smiled and said, "Everyone has ambition. As long as someone has ambition, the war will not stop. It will happen sooner or later. With my own strength, I can't change anything. I can only help those I can help."
Mendez and Buffon both sighed, they knew that Zhao Hai was right. Ambition was something that no one could control. Not to mention the Humans, even the Beastmen were the same. Otherwise, the incident with the Fighting Bulls wouldn't have happened.
Buffon looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Little Hai, what do you plan to do next?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I want to go to Beast God City and take a look. Now that the matter here is basically over, even if the Black Bears have good relations with other Warring Tribes, they wouldn't necessarily be lacking in food. Moreover, if the matter is really investigated, then there might be a war. As such, not many people would buy food. But I'm only going to Beast God City to take a look. If there really is a war, then I'm afraid that my identity as a Human would become the most unpopular person in the Prairie."
Buffon snorted and said, "I don't know about other Human Merchants, but I'm sure that nothing will happen to you. Don't forget, you're now a Foreign Prince of the Herculean Bull Tribe. You can also be considered half a Beastman. It's a pity that you have to go to Beast God City. If you go back to the tribe with me, then the matter of the Dog-headed Race's Friendship Flag could be settled."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll just go back to the Herculean Bull Tribe. Moreover, I recently acquired a new territory, so I have a lot of things to do. If I can't do it, then I'll just go back to the Human Race. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Mendez nodded and said, "Alright, in any case, if there really is a war, then the Beastmen generally wouldn't kill Human Merchants, they would only expel them. You have my Herculean Bull Tribe's Royal Flag, it would be very useful."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he smiled and said, "Alright, don't worry about me. I'm just going to Beast God City to take a look at the situation. Maybe I'll be able to do some business there."
Mendez sighed and said, "Now that the situation is like this, I reckon that the chances of a war are very high. But I don't think that the Rosen Empire would be able to invade. Little Hai, you don't have to worry about it."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't have anything to worry about. My territory is on a small island in the sea. It's impossible for the Beastmen to invade there."
Mendez nodded, then he looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late, we should go back and rest. Little Hai, I see that you haven't delivered any food to the Wolf Tribe these past few days. I think you should go tomorrow. The Wolf Tribe values their promises, if you go too late, it wouldn't be good." Mendez nodded, then he looked at the sky and said, "Alright.
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, don't worry, I'll go tomorrow. You don't need to worry, you should go and rest early." The two nodded, then they stood up and returned to their tents.
Zhao Hai, Laura, and the others returned to the Space. Laura looked at Zhao Hai and said, "It seems like we underestimated the determination of the Beastmen. Now that there's a food shortage in the Prairie, whether this matter is related to the Radiant Church or not, I think the Beastmen would start a war. This is because they need food too much."
Megan looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, do you think that the Beastmen would go to the Black Wasteland? That place is also the territory of the Aksu Empire. If they go there, then it would be very troublesome. "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "They shouldn't. The Black Wasteland's situation isn't something that only existed for a day or two. All the races in the continent know about it. And with the seven-colored poisonous mist, even the Beastmen wouldn't dare to go there. You don't need to worry too much, it's fine."
Megan nodded, but Lizzy frowned and said, "Big Brother Hai, do you think that this matter is related to the Rosen Empire? Is it because the Rosen Empire doesn't allow people to do business with the Aksu Empire? Therefore, a lot of merchants couldn't come to the Prairie to sell food? If that's the case, then wouldn't the Rosen Empire be an accomplice in this war? "
When Zhao Hai heard Lizzy, he stared for a moment, then his expression changed as he said, "That makes sense. But I don't think it's because of this. The Rosen Empire doesn't allow people to do business with the Aksu Empire, but would the Great Nobles of the continent give up on this business for their own benefits? That's impossible! Doing business with the Beastmen is a huge profit, those merchants wouldn't let go of this opportunity. Therefore, I don't think that this matter is the fault of the Rosen Empire. But after hearing what you said, I think that this matter is most likely the work of the Radiant Church! "
Laura and the others stared, they didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant. Zhao Hai sighed and said, "You should know that the Rosen Empire doesn't allow the Radiant Church to exist. This has already offended the Radiant Church. If the Radiant Church can really control the grain and prevent them from selling to the Beastman Prairie, then they can push the blame onto the Rosen Empire. If that happens, then the Rosen Empire would be in big trouble."
The complexion of Lizzy and the others changed. They knew that if the Radiant Church really pushed the blame of this matter onto the Rosen Empire, then the Rosen Empire would become the target of scorn in the continent. This move of using a borrowed knife to kill someone was truly ruthless.
Lizzy was the one who was most concerned about this matter, she immediately turned to Zhao Hai and said, "Big Brother Hai, what should we do? If the Radiant Church really succeeds, then the Rosen Empire would be isolated by the rest of the continent. "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Immediately write a letter and tell His Majesty about this matter. Have His Majesty prepare. If the Radiant Church wants to use this method to deal with us, then they would wait until the Beastmen start their war. We don't need to wait, let His Majesty spread the news first. When the time comes, the one who would suffer would be the Radiant Church. Actually, I think His Majesty knows better than I do. What we need to do is to inform His Majesty about this matter."
Lizzy nodded, then Zhao Hai immediately took out a pen and paper and had Lizzy write a letter to His Majesty. Then he immediately returned to Golden Island. Kun used a Blood Hawk to deliver the letter to the Calci Family, then Randolph would deliver it to the Emperor.
The reason why Zhao Hai went through so much trouble was because he didn't want people to suspect him. Now that everyone in the continent knew that he could ride a Blood Hawk to the Prairie, he needed the Blood Hawk to deliver the letter.
After all of this was done, Zhao Hai and the others went to rest in the Space. But after thinking about it, they couldn't help but feel fear. If the Radiant Church really succeeded in this matter, then the Rosen Empire would be in big trouble. The Radiant Church would then use this opportunity to splash dirty water on the Rosen Empire. And with the addition of their believers, it was possible that the Rosen Empire would become an anti-Rose Empire. The Radiant Church would then use this opportunity to suppress the Rosen Empire. They might even force the Rosen Empire to allow the Radiant Church to spread their teachings inside the empire.
Although this information hasn't been confirmed, it was still necessary to guard against the Radiant Church. In fact, Zhao Hai was getting more and more disgusted with the Radiant Church. The Radiant Church wasn't as glamorous as they appeared to be, they were an organization that would do anything to achieve their goals.
In order to deal with their enemies, they didn't hesitate to start a war between two races. If this matter was proven to be the Radiant Church's doing, then the Radiant Church would truly be an evil organization.
The next morning, after Zhao Hai had his breakfast, the Black Bear Patriarch immediately called Zhao Hai to the Golden Tent. This made Zhao Hai's plan to go to the Prairie Wolves have to be postponed.
When Zhao Hai arrived at the Golden Tent, he was surprised to find that Buffon and Mendez were also there. Zhao Hai immediately gave a salute to the Black Bear Patriarch. The Black Bear Patriarch was very polite to Zhao Hai, he immediately invited Zhao Hai to sit down. After Zhao Hai sat down, the Black Bear Patriarch looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, I asked you to come today to discuss the matter of food."
Zhao Hai nodded, then the Black Bear Patriarch continued, "Mister might already know about the matter that happened to our Black Bear Tribe a few years ago. We were deceived by a Human Merchant, our vitality was greatly damaged, and we still haven't recovered. This time, I wanted to buy more food from Mister, but Mendez told me yesterday that the food shortage in the Prairie might be man-made. If this is the case, then our Beastman Race would certainly wage war against the Humans. When that time comes, we would be able to snatch some food from Mister."
Zhao Hai stared blankly at the Black Bear Patriarch, he already knew that the Black Bear Patriarch didn't want to buy too much food. He thought that the Black Bear Patriarch would find an excuse to not buy food, but he didn't think that the Black Bear Patriarch would actually tell him the real reason. This made Zhao Hai surprised.
Zhao Hai was already accustomed to the hypocritical politeness of Humans. Suddenly meeting such an honest person made Zhao Hai feel uncomfortable. Although Mendez and Buffon had said that the Black Bears were honest, Zhao Hai didn't think that they would be honest to this extent.
When the Black Bear Patriarch saw that Zhao Hai didn't speak, he thought that Zhao Hai wasn't happy, so he quickly said, "Mister Zhao Hai, rest assured, our Black Bear Tribe will still cooperate with Mister in the future. But this time, we'll be asking for less food."
Zhao Hai recovered, he quickly said, "The Patriarch is too polite, this is nothing, I understand. How much do you want?"
Seeing that Zhao Hai wasn't unhappy, the Black Bear Patriarch smiled and said, "I'm going to ask for 40 million jin first. Mister, when will you be able to get it?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Right away. As long as the Patriarch tells me the location, I'll immediately place the Bread Fruits in your designated place. 40 million jin, no more, no less."
When the Black Bear Patriarch heard Zhao Hai, he understood that Zhao Hai had the Space with him. He immediately became happy and said, "Good, that's great. Mister can just put the food outside, naturally, someone will move it away. Right, mister, do you want Magic Beasts or gold and silver?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Gold and silver are fine. Gold and silver aren't very useful to the Beastmen, but Magic Beasts can give birth. Gold and silver are fine."
The Black Bear Patriarch's eyes lit up, then he laughed and said, "Good, mister is really a good friend. Our Black Bear Tribe will definitely become friends with you. Lieben, take out our Black Bear Tribe's friendship flag, I want to give mister our Black Bear Tribe's friendship flag!" Lieben complied and then turned around to leave.
