Caihuaduolier was stunned. He never expected to hear the name Raedna at this moment. This name hadn't left much of an impression on him before, but ever since he got in touch with Zhao Hai, the name Raedna had frequently appeared in his ears.
However, after Zhao Hai destroyed the divine race, this name disappeared once again. By the time he remembered this name and wanted to find its owner, that person had already vanished.
Although there was no direct evidence, Caihuaduolier knew that Raedna must have left with Zhao Hai, along with Xiao Bingya and Yeheta, the three people who interacted the most with Zhao Hai.
Caihuaduolier did not feel furious like Yage and Yelduo upon hearing this news. On the contrary, he was thinking about why Raedna and the others would choose to follow Zhao Hai, even at the cost of abandoning their own kin. What were they trying to achieve by doing this?
In the end, Caihuaduolier reached a conclusion: it was all because of Zhao Hai. Raedna and the others believed that Zhao Hai was a person worth following.
Caihuaduolier did not share this discovery with Yage or Yelduo because he realized that the current orc tribe and elven race were no longer the same as they used to be. The elven race had once been arrogant, yet their pursuit of art was unmatched. The orcs, though rough, had an equally strong yearning for freedom. But now, in the eyes of both the elven race and orc tribe, he saw more of the divine race's ambition—an ambition that clouded their vision.
Both the elven race and orc tribe had become slaves to their desires, losing their true selves. Therefore, Caihuaduolier would not share his findings with them, as he knew that even if he did, they wouldn't listen.
This time, the elven race had repressed the dwarf clan's food supplies, which might lead the dwarf clan into unprecedented crisis. However, Caihuaduolier did not want to give up. The elven race had the food that the dwarf clan needed, and the dwarf clan equally had weapons that they required. "If you don't give me food, I won't give you weapons."
But Caihuaduolier also knew that this method could not last long. In the end, it would still be the dwarf clan that suffered because humans could not go without food. Just then, Raedna suddenly appeared!
Why did he come? What did he want? More accurately, what did Zhao Hai want? Caihuaduolier knew that Raedna's appearance was definitely due to Zhao Hai.
Thinking of this, Caihuaduolier immediately said, "Let him in."
The person outside responded and soon Raedna appeared in the room.
Raedna greeted Caihuaduolier, "Greetings, clan leader."
Caihuaduolier looked at Raedna and asked, "Raedna, did Mr. Zhao Hai send you? Speak, what did he ask you to do?"
Raedna smiled slightly and said, "Yes, as the clan leader mentioned, it was Mr. Zhao Hai who sent me here. He wants to request that the entire dwarf clan migrate into his space!"
Caihuaduolier's eyes narrowed. He did not jump up to angrily scold Raedna but instead looked deeply into Raedna's eyes and asked, "Raedna, are you still a dwarf?"
Raedna's body shook lightly, then he nodded firmly and said, "I am a dwarf, and I always will be!"
Caihuaduolier nodded and said solemnly, "Then answer me honestly, as a dwarf. Do you think that entering Mr. Zhao Hai's space would be better than our current situation?"
Without even thinking, Raedna vigorously nodded and replied, "Yes, it will definitely be better than now! I guarantee it, I guarantee it as a member of the dwarf clan!"
Caihuaduolier observed Raedna's expression, and after a long while, he nodded and said, "Alright, I understand. I will call all the elders of the clan, but perhaps Mr. Zhao Hai should come out and meet us. I want to discuss this matter with Mr. Zhao Hai personally!"
Before Raedna could respond, Zhao Hai's voice was heard, "The clan leader has summoned me, how can I not come to meet?" Then Raedna saw a spatial rift appear in front of him, and Zhao Hai stepped out from it, greeting, "Zhao Hai greets the clan leader!"
