Bringing the Farm to Live in Another World

CHAPTER 523: The Plight of Human Merchants

Zhao Hai was quite satisfied with Atai's work ability. Perhaps it was due to his personality, but he got along very well with the orcs. According to Atai, he had already made quite a few good friends among the orc tribe.

However, Zhao Hai remained calm. He was well aware that the orc tribe was likely preparing to take action against the human race, and at this moment, the chances of Atai successfully trading with the tiger tribe were slim.

Yet Zhao Hai did not voice these concerns. Saying them out loud would only dampen Atai's enthusiasm, which would not be good. It was precisely because of Atai's carefree personality that he could get so close to the orcs.

After finishing their meal, Zhao Hai and the others did not leave but rather went into the tent that Atai had arranged for them to rest. Atai's wife also brought them milk tea.

Although they had just been served Kaya, now they had milk tea. This was partly because they had consumed a lot of meat, and drinking milk tea was beneficial for them. Secondly, Kaya was a rare commodity in this prairie; the orcs were not accustomed to drinking Kaya.

Having stayed with the orc tribe for some time, Zhao Hai and his group had naturally grown accustomed to drinking milk tea. After taking a sip, Zhao Hai sighed and said, "We still haven’t managed to find any tea trees. I really want to plant some of this tea in my space."

Laura laughed and asked, "What's wrong, Brother Hai? Do you really like drinking milk tea that much?"

Zhao Hai merely smiled slightly and did not say more. He could not tell Laura that he preferred plain tea, but he had not yet acquired any tea trees, so it was all uncertain.

Moreover, Zhao Hai was well aware that if he did manage to produce tea, it would be a unique business opportunity. He believed that not many people in this world could resist the allure of tea.

Meigen, however, did not dwell on this. She turned to Zhao Hai and asked, "Brother Hai, what should we do next? Atai has already mentioned that a major war between the orcs and humans seems imminent. Should we stay here or return to the mainland?"

Zhao Hai smiled and replied, "Don’t worry. The situation on the mainland is also very chaotic right now. My father-in-law the king has already made arrangements. Everyone on the mainland knows that the church of light has cut off the orc tribe's food supply, which has pushed the orcs to the brink of attacking the mainland. Since the church of light has suffered a significant setback in the Aksu Empire, all the people in the Aksu Empire are well aware that if the orcs attack the humans, they will be the most affected. Therefore, the people of the Aksu Empire currently have no good feelings towards the church of light. However, things haven’t spiraled out of control yet. We can wait a bit longer until the orcs are truly certain about launching an assault on the humans before we head back to the mainland."

Meigen asked in confusion, "Why wait until then to return to the mainland?"

Zhao Hai smiled and explained, "Only when that news is confirmed will chaos erupt on the mainland. At that point, we can go directly to the Aksu Empire to recruit some people. Don’t forget, our Versailles Family and Iksa Family have good relations, and their territories are directly adjacent to the orc tribes. Under these circumstances, we should be able to find some talented individuals in their territories."

Laura chimed in with a smile, "I’ve also heard that the Versailles Family isn’t doing too well right now. Last time, you helped them through their crisis of annihilation, but that also let others know about your relationship with the Versailles Family. Currently, the Aksu Empire is suppressing the Versailles Family everywhere; this is no longer news in the Aksu Empire. Meanwhile, the Iksa Family, due to your influence, is helping the Versailles Family at every turn, but they are also facing suppression from the Aksu Empire. It can be said that both families are having a hard time in the Aksu Empire."
