CHAPTER 558: Price
Zhao Hai smiled slightly and said, "The Eagle King is too polite. Actually, I should be the one thanking you. This matter is much more urgent for me, haha."
The Eagle King smiled and replied, "This is the Eagle King's Cave of the Ice King Eagle Tribe, the place where the Ice King Eagle Tribe first settled. I don't know if you have noticed, Little Hai, but the royal families of several major tribes of our orc race live near the Extreme North Icefield. Legend has it that in the past, some extremely powerful magical beasts roamed this area, causing trouble for the Orc Prairie. Later, the strongest royal families of our orc race moved to reside near the Extreme North Icefield to protect the entire orc race."
Zhao Hai nodded. He no longer dared to underestimate the legends of the Ark Continent, as many of these legends could very well be true. One could not judge the Ark Continent using experiences from Earth.
At that moment, a member of the Ice King Eagle Tribe approached them, performing a hand on heart gesture and said, "Golden Ring Eagle King, Mr. Zhao Hai, the Eagle King requests your presence."
Zhao Hai and the Golden Ring Eagle King immediately responded and mounted their steeds again, following the Ice King Eagle knight as they flew into the sky. As they ascended, Zhao Hai realized that the Eagle King's Cave was indeed very high, reaching a height of five hundred meters, and they were going to the very top.
At the highest level, there were only a few scattered caves. Their flying eagles landed in front of the highest cave entrance, which stood about ten meters high. In front of the cave door was a platform of over thirty square meters, where Zhao Hai's flying eagle landed.
This time, only three people came up. After landing on the platform, the three dismounted from their steeds, and their flying eagles immediately took off. The Ice King Eagle Tribe member led Zhao Hai and the others into the cave.
Once inside the cave, Zhao Hai was taken aback. The cave was lit with many fire basins, illuminating the entire space without feeling stuffy at all.
Inside the cave, a member of the Ice King Eagle Tribe was sitting at a desk deep inside, where many sheepskin scrolls were laid out.
However, at that moment, the member of the Ice King Eagle Tribe was not dealing with those documents but was looking up at them. This person looked no different from ordinary members of the Ice King Eagle Tribe, except he appeared particularly thin, even thinner than the average Ice King Eagle Tribe member. However, he wore a golden crown on his head, sitting there with cold eagle eyes fixed on Zhao Hai and the others, making Zhao Hai feel a chill in his heart.
What Zhao Hai didn't know was that the Ice King Eagle Tribe possessed a kind of innate superpower, which could also be projected through their eyes. Their eyes could emit a freezing ray, almost equivalent to level 5 magic of the human race, making it quite difficult to deal with.
The Golden Ring Eagle King hurriedly saluted the Eagle King and said, "Golden Ring pays respects to the Eagle King. This is Mr. Zhao Hai. He has a business proposal regarding milk wine that he wishes to discuss with the Eagle King, so I brought him here."
The Eagle King nodded and said, "Alright, I've heard of Mr. Zhao Hai's name long ago. This is the first time I've met you, sir. Please have a seat." Although his eyes seemed cold, his tone was quite gentle.
Zhao Hai quickly replied, "Thank you, Eagle King. Zhao Hai is honored." After saying that, he and the Golden Ring Eagle Tribe member sat down in front of the desk.
After they sat down, the Eagle King looked at Zhao Hai and said, "The Beast King has sent word to the world, mentioning your milk wine. I want to thank you here, as you have done a great service for our orc race."
Zhao Hai hurriedly said, "I dare not claim credit. I am also in this business to make money. Hehe, I came to meet the Eagle King this time because I have something I would like to ask for the Eagle King's help."
