Weyers invited Zhao Hai into his tent. Compared to Spear’s tent, Weyers ‘tent was much more luxurious. The tent was covered with a fine wool carpet, and there were tables and chairs inside. This was something that was rarely seen in the orc Plains. Moreover, most of the tools in the tent were made of silver, which fully showed the extraordinary status of the owner.

However, to Zhao Hai’s surprise, there was not a single woman or child in the camp. In the tent with a few hundred people, there were only Weyers and the prophets, and no one else.

After they sat down in the tent, a warrior from the herculean bull tribe immediately served them milk tea. Weyers raised the cup and said,”Brother Zhao Hai, I have to thank you for your help today. If not for you, those dogs would have been really difficult to deal with. Oh right, I forgot to introduce you. This is my teacher, Prophet Yale.”

Zhao Hai stood up and saluted Yale. Towards the orc Prophet, one had to maintain respect. This was something that all humans who had come to the plains had to remember.

Zhao Hai bowed and said to Yale, ” “Hello, respected Prophet. This is my fiancée, Laura. This is also my fiancée, meg. This is Neel.” Zhao Hai also introduced Laura and meg to Wales and Yale. This was the first time he had publicly introduced meg as his fiancée.

This was also how Laura told Zhao Hai to introduce him. Laura thought that this was the fairest way to Megger.

Hearing Zhao Hai’s introduction, Mei GE couldn’t help blushing, but she was secretly happy. Her identity was finally confirmed, and her only worry was gone.

Weyers wasn’t surprised by Zhao Hai’s introduction. It wasn’t just the humans who allowed a man to have multiple wives. It was the same for the beastmen. In reality, the beastmen’s situation was much more serious than the humans’. It was said that there was a horse patriarch who had more than 30 wives and was nicknamed the stallion.

Weyers politely saluted Laura and meg before they sat down. After taking a sip of milk tea, Weyers looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Brother Zhao Hai, how did you get that big-bellied pig clan’s war flag?”

&Nbsp; Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; a while ago, I helped the pot-bellied pig tribe’s goat-head hammer tribe a little. The goat-head hammer tribe’s leader, brother spear, gave me that flag of friendship. &Quot;

Weyers didn’t mention that the flag was a flag of friendship because he wanted to see if Zhao Hai knew what it meant. Now that Zhao Hai had said it, Weyers understood that Zhao Hai knew what it meant.

Wales nodded. &Quot; it seems that you have helped him a lot. Otherwise, he would not have given you the friendship battle flag. Hehe. Brother Zhao Hai, I see that you are a businessman? ” Is your carriage full of food?”

Zhao Hai nodded. &Quot; that’s right, brother Weyers. I can’t really be considered a proper merchant. I have a territory, and it produces food. I have a large amount of food to sell, most of which is bamboo rice. &Quot;

Hearing Zhao Hai’s words, Weyers “eyes lit up.”My brother, what’s the price of your food?”

“2000 catties of grain for a plate of lamb,” Zhao Hai replied with a smile.

Weyers was taken aback, then his eyes lit up.”My brother, are you saying that two thousand Jin of grain can be exchanged for a lamb? Are you sure you’re not wrong?”

Zhao Hai smiled, ” “In fact, this is only the price for outsiders. If you are a friend, the price can be lowered. I don’t want to hide it from you. I have an elder who likes to study magic beasts, so as long as it’s a special magic beast unique to the grasslands, I can pay a lot of money for it. Of course, if you need food, I can also use food to exchange for it. Go and bring some fresh vegetables for the Weyers brothers as our first meeting gift.” Meg responded and walked out of the tent.

Weyers and Yale listened to Zhao Hai’s words in a daze. They had never expected Zhao Hai to propose such a condition. It was completely beyond their expectations.

Weyers looked at Zhao Hai and said,”my brother, how much food can you provide?” I mean, how much food do you have on hand?”

“However much you want, I’ll have it!” Zhao Hai said as he looked at Wales.

Mad! These words were simply too arrogant. Yale and Weyers felt that Zhao Hai’s words were too arrogant. After all, Weyers “status was clear. If he really wanted to do business with Zhao Hai, the amount of food he would need would be an astronomical figure.

Weyers looked at Zhao Hai and said, ” my brother, I think I forgot to introduce myself. I am the seventh son of the herculean divine ox clan’s patriarch. If I really want to do business with you, I will need a lot of food. &Quot;

Zhao Hai smiled. &Quot; it’s fine, my brother. I know your identity is not ordinary. You have a prophet as your teacher and can wear a gorgeous robe. Your identity is definitely not ordinary. But please don’t worry. I’ve said before that I’ll have as much food as you want. I’m not bragging. You can calculate how much food your entire herculean divine ox tribe needs, and then we’ll talk. &Quot;

Weyers looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. He didn’t understand where Zhao Hai got his confidence from. Food had always been the most exported commodity to the orcs by the humans. At the same time, it was also the most powerful weapon the humans used to suppress the orcs. It was because of this that the food prices had always been high among the orcs.

Although the humans had transported a lot of food to the beastmen Plains, it was still not enough for the huge population of the beastmen. Every year, many beastmen had to eat mutton for a long time to tide over the food shortage.

Eating mutton for a long time wasn’t a good thing for the orcs. Eating sheep was more of a loss than exchanging it for food, but they had to do it because of the lack of food.

Actually, it wasn’t that the human race didn’t want to transport food to the orc grassland. From the perspective of the human merchants, if they transported food to the orc grassland, they could exchange it for the coiled sheep. That was money, so why not do such a business? But the problem was that the human race did not have that much food.

Currently, all the major countries on the continent were not turning a blind eye to the sale of grain to the orc grasslands. They could sell it, but they could not go too far and affect the price of grain on the continent. Otherwise, the royal family would not be polite.

Due to these reasons, the orcs had a huge shortage of food every year. Even if they were willing to trade for the food, they had no choice because there was no food.

Weyers didn’t quite believe Zhao Hai’s words. Even if Zhao Hai had a territory and planted bamboo and rice there, it wouldn’t be enough to fill the shortage of food in the beastmen Plains. What right did he have to be so arrogant?

Compared to Weyers, Yale felt even more strongly that something was wrong. Zhao Hai seemed to be overconfident. This caused Yale’s heart to clench, and he suddenly thought of some bad things.

In the past, some human merchants had said this to the orcs. In the end, it was proven that those human merchants were all liars. They either didn’t have enough food, or they simply used moldy food to deal with them. If it was moldy rice, it was still okay. After washing it a few times, it could still be eaten. However, if they didn’t have that much food, and the orcs relied on the food to survive through the winter, the outcome would be tragic.

Yale clearly remembered that five years ago, there had been a Great War Tribe that, because of this swindler, had suffered a food crisis. In the end, they had all starved to death. In addition, because that tribe had been eating large amounts of lamb, they had suffered great losses, and even now, they had yet to recover.

Yale was afraid that Zhao Hai was someone like that. If Zhao Hai really wanted to use this method to deal with the herculean divine ox tribe, then his appearance here was no coincidence.

Thinking up to this point, Yale couldn’t help but look deeply at Zhao Hai. Before Weyers could say anything, Yale coughed and said to Weyers,”Weyers, it’s all thanks to Zhao Hai’s help today that we were able to defeat those mutts. Shouldn’t we treat Zhao Hai and the others well? Zhao Hai and the others also need to set up camp.”

Hearing Yale’s words, Wells knew that Yale had something to say to him in private. He didn’t continue to talk to Zhao Hai about the food issue. Instead, he nodded and said, &Quot; yes, look at me, I was too focused on talking. Brother Zhao Hai, you should set up the camp first, and then we can have a good drink or two. &Quot;

Zhao Hai could tell as well, so he didn’t say he would. He just smiled and stood up, ” &Quot; alright, brother Weyers. I’ll go and build the camp first. The vegetables will be sent over in a while. &Quot; After saying that, Zhao Hai led Nier and Laura out of the tent after bowing to Wells and Yale.

At this moment, meg and a few undead creatures came out of the tent with a few baskets of vegetables that Zhao Hai had just placed in the carriage. After all, the vegetables couldn’t be left outside for too long or they would lose their freshness.

Zhao Hai didn’t let meg into the tent. He only asked her to pass the food to the warrior of the vigorous divine ox tribe who was standing guard outside the tent. Then, he led the group back to the carriage.

It was very convenient for them to set up the campsite today. The vehicles had already formed a circular formation. As long as they put a tent in the formation, they would be able to set up the campsite.

When they returned to their own camp, their tents were already set up. Zhao Hai, meg, and the others also returned to their tents. Zhao Hai’s tents were very simple. The ground was covered with rabbit skin, and there were not many decorations inside, making it seem very empty.

After they sat down in the tent, Laura smiled at Zhao Hai and said, ” “Big brother hai, you’re too impatient. I’m sure Wells and Yale think you’re a scammer.”

“Why?” Zhao Hai laughed. Do beastmen often encounter such liars?”

Laura’s expression turned serious. &Quot; we’ll have to see if this tribe is worth cheating. If an orc tribe is too powerful, they might encounter this kind of liar. &Quot;
