Standing on the deck of the Haven, Juno's expression was very calm. Zhao Hai was standing right next to him, they were currently sailing on Iron Horse River.
The Hurricane Family's five-masted ironclad ship was damaged during the battle, so it was currently being repaired. Because of this, Zhao Hai and the others were riding on Zhao Hai's Haven.
Iron Horse River was a river that traversed the entire Buddha Empire. The river was very wide and deep, it was an important transportation lifeline in the Buddha Empire.
And at the end of the Iron Horse River, it wasn't far from the Dwarf Iron Mountain, so transportation was very convenient. Zhao Hai and the others were currently on their way to the Dwarf Iron Mountain.
It has been four days since they left the Hurricane Family's territory. In about three days, they would arrive at the Dwarf Iron Mountain.
Juno looked at the scenery on both sides of the river and sighed, "It's been a long time since I left the territory. I don't know how my old friends are doing. Zhao Hai, since you want to do business with the Dwarves, I can only introduce you to them. You should know that the Dwarves are very stubborn. If they don't want to do business with you, then no matter what you say, it would be useless. Right, what kind of business do you want to do with them?"
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "The Dwarves naturally have a lot of ironware. I want to do ironware business with the Dwarves. I want to use wine to do it."
Juno stared, then he laughed and said, "Good kid, that's a good idea. The Dwarves are very fond of wine. If you use good wine to do business with them, then they would certainly agree. Right, what kind of wine is it? Is it the Milk Wine? "
Zhao Hai's Haven Milk Wine was currently a hot seller in the continent. Therefore, Juno also knew about it. Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's almost the same. There are better wines than that."
Juno smiled and said, "That's good. When doing business with the Dwarves, there's nothing more popular than wine. I've also tasted that Milk Wine, it's very good. Especially that special Milk Wine, it tastes very good. “
Juno's special Milk Wine was actually the Milk Wine made from cow's milk. Since cow's milk was much more mellow compared to argali milk, the wine made from cow's milk would taste much better. Naturally, the special and best quality were only used to scare the Nobles. If you don't do this, then you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between Milk Wine and ordinary Milk Wine.
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "If Grandpa Juno likes it, then I'll give you some. In any case, I made them myself, there's nothing special about them."
Juno smiled and said, "Alright, when we get back, leave some for me. After drinking your wine, other wines would be tasteless. I must say, you really know how to enjoy yourself. Look at the ship you modified, it's much more comfortable than my home."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "I don't think that your place is comfortable, I don't have to worry about anything. Unlike me, I'm always running around every day, I'm very tired."
Juno smiled and scolded, "Don't act in front of me, you smelly brat, you think that an old man like me would complain? Alright, let's not talk about this. The Dwarves are actually very easy to get along with. However, there's one thing that you can't lie to them. If you do, then they wouldn't let you off."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know that. I've dealt with the Beastmen before, so I understand their character."
Juno smiled and said, "Alright, it's good that you can think like that. Right, remember, you can joke around with the Dwarves as much as you want. You can even make fun of their height, and they won't get angry. But if you say that their ironware isn't good, and you can't say that it isn't good, then they will immediately turn hostile."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, I'll remember that. I won't speak carelessly. Most of these ironwares will be traded to the Beastmen. I don't want all of them to be weapons, so I won't mess around."
Juno nodded, the reason why he reminded Zhao Hai about this was because he was afraid that Zhao Hai would deliberately say that the Dwarves' ironwares were bad in order to lower the price. This would offend the Dwarves.
However, when Juno heard Zhao Hai say that most of these ironwares would be traded to the Beastmen, he couldn't help but feel curious. The Milk Wine that Zhao Hai made was certainly related to the Beastmen. But what made Juno feel strange was that the Milk Wine that Zhao Hai made was much better than the ones made by the Beastmen.
Juno looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Do you have a good relationship with the Beastmen?"
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "It's okay. My relationship with the Cow-headed Race, Dog-headed Race, and the Black Bear Race is pretty good. I also have some business with the Hawks. As for the other races, I don't have much contact with them."
Juno nodded, then he turned his head to Zhao Hai and said, "The Radiant Church has suffered a big setback in the Aksu Empire. Does this matter have anything to do with you?"
Zhao Hai stared for a moment, then he shook his head and said, "No, the Radiant Church's matter in the Aksu Empire was something that I received from the Beastman Prairie. As for the specifics, I don't know. You should know that I have a good relationship with the Radiant Church, so how could they let me know about it? My spies aren't that resourceful. I think you should know about the significance of the Aksu Empire's matter to the Radiant Church. Would they let someone they don't trust know about it?"
Juno nodded, he believed Zhao Hai's words. The Radiant Church must have attached great importance to the matter in the Aksu Empire. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent a Red-robed Archbishop to preside over it. However, their defeat in the end was inexplicable. It seems like every move that the Radiant Church made was known to the Beastmen, causing them to suffer a big loss.
Nobody in the continent doubted this matter, but to be honest, there weren't a lot of people who doubted Zhao Hai. Everyone in the continent knew that Zhao Hai had a grudge with the Radiant Church. Naturally, the Radiant Church knew about this as well. In this case, how could the Radiant Church not guard against Zhao Hai?
After all, the Buda Clan was still a new Clan, their background was still lacking. Moreover, Zhao Hai had already fallen out with the Aksu Empire, so he didn't have any influence in the Aksu Empire. Although he had a good relationship with the Iksa Family and the Purcell Family, one shouldn't forget that the Iksa Family had already left the Aksu Empire before the Beastmen made their move. On the other hand, the Purcell Duchy had already been sacrificed by the Radiant Church. They simply couldn't help Zhao Hai.
Because of this, it was impossible for Zhao Hai to obtain the specific plans of the Radiant Church. Therefore, after the war in the Aksu Empire, although the Radiant Church was baffled by their loss, nobody in the continent suspected that Zhao Hai's shadow was involved in this matter.
When the Radiant Church learned their lesson from their defeat, they also investigated whether there were spies within their ranks. However, they didn't suspect Zhao Hai at all. In their opinion, the Buda Clan might be strong, but when it came to information gathering, they were still far from being able to do so.
The people of the continent would never think about the existence of the Space. If they were to use the continent's normal way of reasoning, then the result would naturally be the same.
But today, when Juno asked about this, Zhao Hai couldn't help but break out in cold sweat. Fortunately, he was already prepared for this. He didn't want others to know that he was using the Beastmen to deal with the Radiant Church. The fewer people who know about this, the better.
Although the Humans of the continent hated the Radiant Church, in their minds, the Radiant Church was still a part of the Humans, unlike the Beastmen. Because of this, if they were to know that Zhao Hai was working with the Beastmen to deal with the Radiant Church, then they were afraid that Zhao Hai would immediately become the public enemy of the entire Human race.
Fortunately, the Beastmen didn't know that Zhao Hai helped them. They only knew that there was a mysterious person who helped them. After all, when Zhao Hai went to the Beastman Camp, he changed his appearance.
If there was any doubt about this matter, then the people of the continent would suspect the Engraved Ark. After all, this organization was too mysterious. Moreover, their goal was to subvert the Ark Continent. They would definitely do something like this.
Juno just casually asked, he didn't take it to heart. Even if he knew that Zhao Hai was using the Beastmen to deal with the Radiant Church, he wouldn't say anything. After all, the Beastmen were indeed attacking the Aksu Empire, and this matter was indeed caused by the Radiant Church.
Additionally, the Radiant Church actually wanted to deal with Kristen. This was something that Juno couldn't tolerate. Juno had a lot of children, and the one he favored the most was Kristen's father. Hong would be the future Patriarch of the Hurricane Family, and Kristen was Juno's favorite granddaughter. Because of this, the Radiant Church's action against Kristen had really crossed Juno's bottom line.
The Hurricane Family was a family that didn't want to offend anyone. However, this didn't mean that they could tolerate this kind of thing. In the early days, the Hurricane Family was able to stand firm in their territory because of their hard work. One shouldn't look at their current image of a good person. If the Hurricane Family really wanted to move, then they wouldn't be any worse than millenium-old families. Even in terms of funds, they weren't worse than millenium-old families. It was only because of the teachings of their ancestors that the Hurricane Family was able to maintain their current state of living.
Before, Juno said that this wasn't the time to deal with the Radiant Church. Actually, he had already made his move in the past few days. The Radiant Churches in the Buddha Empire had already been dealt with by him. Nobody from the Radiant Church was spared.
Being a good person didn't mean that you don't have a temper. If someone slaps you on the left side of your face, then you'll be slapped on the right side as well. This doesn't mean that you're a gentleman, it only means that you're a cheap person.
The reason why Juno told Zhao Hai that he didn't want to make a move against the Radiant Church was because he didn't want Zhao Hai to know about it. He was very clear about Zhao Hai's hatred towards the Radiant Church. If Juno said that he wanted to deal with the Radiant Church, then Zhao Hai would certainly help. When that time comes, things would become very busy. But right now, things were still under Juno's control.
