Shun knew that Shue was right, but he still frowned and said, "Young Master, I think there's a better place for the Space to level up."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "I know you're talking about the Elven Forest. I heard that it's filled with exotic flowers and grasses, it's the most suitable place for the Space to level up. But you should know that the Elves have no desires, and they hate Humans. If we go there rashly, the Elves might resent us. Therefore, I want to get in touch with the Dwarves first. I heard that the Dwarves have some contact with the Elves, so I want to see if I can get some information about the Elves from the Dwarves."
Shun nodded and said, "So it's like this, but is this true? I've heard that the dwarves have a bad temper, not much worse than the orcs. They like to forge and drink. They're just crude craftsmen. The elves, on the other hand, are said to be beautiful and charming. They also like art and music. Would such a person have a relationship with the dwarves? "
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "Who knows, I just happened to read about it in a random book. I don't know if it's true or not, but the Elves don't like Humans, this is something that everyone in the continent knows. Let's go to the Dwarves' mountain and take a look."
Shun nodded, then Shue looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Young Master, why do you think the Beast King is looking for you?"
Shun smiled and said, "It's certainly a good thing. Young Master has helped them so much, with the Beastmen's temperament, they would surely give you some benefits."
Shue shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, the Beast King is very astute. This time, looking for Young Master isn't necessarily a good thing. Young Master, don't look at how smooth your dealings with the Herculean Bulls have been. But for a person of the Beast King's level, he certainly wouldn't fully trust you, even if you helped him. So in the future, we need to be careful when dealing with them."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "What Thousand Shadows said makes sense. Although the Beast King is a Beastman, he's still a King. Moreover, he's been a Beast King for several years now. For him to have such a stable position shows his strength and scheming. We need to be careful of him in the future."
After chatting for a while, Ah Tai invited Zhao Hai to have a meal. After the meal, Ah Tai and the others began to prepare for the exchange. However, Zhao Hai didn't show up.
The next morning, after Zhao Hai ate, he sat in a carriage and headed towards the Beast King's office. There were only a few buildings in the Beast God City, and the most famous one was the Beast King's Palace.
Although the Beast King's Palace was called a palace, the entire building wasn't very big, it couldn't even be compared to a small Human castle. There was no other way, if one wanted to build a house in the Beastmen's territory, then they would have to kill Magic Beasts. And Magic Beasts were a valuable asset to the Beastmen, they weren't willing to kill too many of them.
Because of this, although the walls of Beast God City weren't bad, most of the buildings inside were tents. And this Beast God City was one of the few buildings in the city. It was composed of three three-story buildings with walls surrounding it. For the Beastmen, this was already an extraordinary building.
The Beast King's Palace didn't have a fixed master. Every time the Beast King was replaced, the new Beast King would move into the Beast King's Palace. And when the new Beast King was no longer the Beast King, he would move out of the Beast King's Palace.
It can be said that the Beast King's Palace was a sacred place in the hearts of all Beastmen. Because of this, the security here was very tight. When Zhao Hai's carriage stopped outside the Beast King's Palace, Zhao Hai immediately got down from the carriage. He looked up at the walls of the Beast King's Palace. The walls weren't very high, they were only about ten meters high. Above the main entrance of the walls were three large characters, Beast King's Palace. And above the walls was a flag with a tiger head.
In front of the gate were four Tiger Guards. They were holding steel spears in their hands and iron whips on their waists. These were already very good equipment. At this time, the four Tiger Guards were coldly looking at Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai tidied up his clothes and then walked towards one of the Tiger Guards. Then he gave the Tiger Guard a salute and said, "Greetings, Brother Beastman. Please help me inform the Beast King that Zhao Hai is here to see the Beast King."
Zhao Hai's words were very good. If he said that he was here to see the Beast King, then the Beastmen wouldn't be suspicious. Moreover, they would help him pass on the message.
Sure enough, when the Tiger Guard heard Zhao Hai, his expression lightened up. However, he didn't move. Instead, he turned towards a large tent beside the Beast King's Palace and said, "Let's go there and talk. Someone will pass on the message." After Zhao Hai thanked the Tiger Guard, he went inside the tent.
The furnishings inside the tent were very simple. There were a few small tables with several people sitting behind them. Among these people, two were Tiger Beastmen while the other two were Fox Beastmen.
Zhao Hai didn't dare to be negligent, he immediately went to a table and said to the Tiger sitting behind it, "Brother Beastman, hello. I've received the Beast King's order to have an audience. Brother, please help me inform him."
The Tiger Beastman wasn't as strong as the average Tiger Beastman. Although his stature was very tall, he was still thin and weak. Naturally, this was relative to the Tiger Beastmen. If he was compared to Zhao Hai, then he would still be considered a big man.
The Tiger Beastman looked at Zhao Hai, then he smiled faintly and said, "So it's Mister Zhao Hai. His Majesty really did send people to see you after arriving in Beast God City. Please wait for a moment, I'll go pass on the message." Zhao Hai quickly expressed his gratitude.
After the Tiger Beastman left, the remaining five people looked at Zhao Hai curiously. Zhao Hai gave a bow and said, "Greetings, I'm Zhao Hai. This is our first meeting, so I don't have anything to give you. I'll just give each of you a bottle of wine. I hope you like it." Then he took out five bottles of purified Milk Wine and placed them on the table.
The Tiger Beastmen couldn't help but smile. When Beastmen meet for the first time, they would usually give small gifts. With Zhao Hai doing this, the Tiger Beastmen immediately closed the distance between them.
One of the Fox Beastmen, who looked quite old, smiled and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, I've heard of your name before. Mister was able to obtain the position of Prince of the Cow-headed Race, as well as the friendship banners of the Dog-headed Race and the Bear Race. This is enough to prove that mister is a true friend of the Beastmen. In the future, I'll have to ask mister to visit the Foxman Race. We also have some business to discuss with mister."
The Foxman Race, among the Beastmen who were considered to be stupid, were actually known for their shrewdness. A lot of Human Merchants weren't willing to do business with them. This was because the Foxman Race were too shrewd. Sometimes, when the Human Merchants failed to scheme against the Foxman Race, they would be the ones being schemed against instead.
Zhao Hai didn't have such thoughts, he smiled faintly at the Fox Beastman and said, "Being able to do business with the Foxman Race is my honor. Rest assured, I'll certainly pay a visit."
The Fox Beastman smiled and said, "Alright, when the time comes, we'll certainly have a feast for you."
At this time, footsteps could be heard as the Tiger Beastman who just left came back in. He bowed to Zhao Hai and said, "Mister Zhao Hai, please. His Majesty is waiting for you."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly, then he took out a bottle of Milk Wine and placed it on the table where the Tiger Beastman was sitting. Then he smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother. This is a small gift, please accept it. Let's go."
The Tiger Beastman didn't decline. There was a tradition among the Beastmen. If someone gives you a gift and you don't accept it, then it means that you don't want to treat the other party as a friend. This was different from the Human Race. In the Human Race, if you give someone a gift, they would certainly decline it. But in the Beastmen, this wasn't the case at all.
The two went out of the tent and headed towards the Beast King's Palace. This time, the guards didn't stop them, allowing them to smoothly enter the Beast King's Palace.
Upon entering the palace, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. There weren't any guards in the palace, nor were there any Tiger Beastmen. What he saw were mostly Fox Beastmen as well as some Beastmen slaves. They were all busy inside the palace, holding sheepskin scrolls in their hands.
The Beast King Palace wasn't very big, but it gave people the impression that it was a machine that was running at high speed. It was constantly rotating, processing and distributing documents one by one, and then sending new documents in. It was a cycle that repeated itself over and over again.
Zhao Hai couldn't help but sigh. Compared to the Beast King's Palace, although the Rosen Empire's Palace was imposing, it lacked vitality. What a pity.
At this time, under the guidance of the Tiger Beastman, Zhao Hai quickly arrived at the middle of the Beast King's Palace. In front of the small building, a Tiger Beastman was standing. This Tiger Beastman wore leather armor and had two Tiger Tail Steel Whips on his back. He was standing straight.
Zhao Hai and the Tiger Beastman arrived in front of the Tiger Beastman. The Tiger Beastman who led the way bowed and said, "Guard Xu, Mister Zhao Hai has arrived." Guard Xu nodded and waved his hand. The Tiger Beastman then turned around and left.
Guard Xu looked at Zhao Hai and gave a salute, "Mister, please come with me. His Majesty is waiting for you." After Zhao Hai returned the salute, the two entered the small building.
When the two entered the small building, Zhao Hai stared. He thought that this place would be a living room, but he didn't expect it to be the Beast King's study. There were several large bookshelves inside, on top of which were a lot of sheep rolls. The floor was covered with a thick wool carpet. In the middle of the room was a large brazier. Not far from the brazier was a large desk. Behind the desk was a chair. The Beast King was sitting on the chair with his head down as he wrote something. Several Foxmen were standing in front of the bookshelves with their heads down.
Guard Xu bowed to the Beast King and said, "Your Majesty, Mister Zhao Hai has arrived."
The Beast King looked up. Zhao Hai quickly went forward and gave the Beast King a salute, "Zhao Hai has been ordered to have an audience with the Beast King. I ask for your Majesty's instructions."
The Beast King looked at Zhao Hai, then he laughed and said, "Alright, don't be polite. Come, sit down." As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the brazier. There was a circle of stools around the brazier.
Zhao Hai and the Beast King sat on the edge of the brazier. Guard Xu immediately picked up the warm milk wine on the edge of the brazier and gave them each a cup. Then he retreated behind the Beast King.
The Beast King raised his cup and gave a signal to Zhao Hai. Then he drank the Milk Wine in one gulp.
