Chapter 376 - 376 376 Goodbye Aleya

376: Chapter 376: Goodbye Aleya 376: Chapter 376: Goodbye Aleya “Master, there are Beastmen here to visit, they say they are your friends.” After moving to a new home, Xi Fei told me the very next day someone had arrived.

Zhao Guang was taken aback.

These Beastmen had finally arrived.

When he left initially, they had given him a scroll, instructing him to tear it open after reaching his new territory.

Zhao Guang didn’t tear it open immediately upon arrival, choosing instead to first get a firm foothold in his new home.

Some time had passed since he tore open the scroll, and Zhao Guang had almost forgotten about it.

“Great, they’ve finally come.

Please, show them in,” Zhao Guang’s eyes seemed to glow.

There was no help for it, the Beastman Holy Spring was almost depleted, and on the other side, for some unknown reason, Zhao Guang thought it wouldn’t be hard to concentrate the Beastman Holy Spring, yet he hadn’t succeeded.

It could be due to a lack of understanding of some substance, resulting in nearly running out of resources.

Since breaking through to Intermediate Warrior, his cultivation speed had once again declined.

In reality, his cultivation speed had increased, but the progression indeed had slowed down.

Soon, a group of people arrived at the place.

However, Zhao Guang had not expected the visitors to be acquaintances.

That familiar fiery red fur was still so striking.

Zhao Guang, looking at the travel-worn Aleya, said, “Please, take a seat.

I didn’t expect you to come in person.”

He had been expecting those thick-skinned and rugged fellows to come, especially since this place was now at the northern frontier.

Without mentioning anything else, even the natural environment was quite harsh.

Aleya gently smoothed her hair and then sat down in front of Zhao Guang.

“I haven’t congratulated you yet for becoming a Viscount of the Chirali Empire.”

“Oh, it’s nothing.

Without your help, I couldn’t have advanced so quickly.

Besides, a noble title is just a name after all,” Zhao Guang said, waving his hand dismissively as if unconcerned.

Xi Fei had left the room and was standing guard outside to ensure that no one approached.

Trading with Beastmen might involve activities that are taboo, so it was necessary to keep the dealings private.

“Let’s not talk about that.

Let’s discuss our trade,” Zhao Guang suddenly said, prompting a smile to appear on Aleya’s face.

This man was still the same: direct and straightforward.

He hadn’t adopted the convoluted ways of the nobility after becoming one.

This mode of interaction made Aleya, a Beastwoman, feel somewhat more comfortable.

“No problem.

This time, I brought a Space Bag.

The goods are already here.”

The two exchanged items, quickly completing their trade.

For general materials, neither showed any interest in examining them, only inspecting the more important ones.

Things like the Beastman Holy Spring that Zhao Guang wanted, and the blue pills the Beastmen desired.

The Beastmen indeed showed great sincerity this time, bringing several large barrels of Beastman Holy Spring.

Even though Zhao Guang had prepared a substantial amount of pills, they were all exchanged away.

Looking at the remaining Beastman Holy Spring, Aleya’s face showed a longing for more.

“Is this not enough?

Surely you don’t have that many Bimon Giant Beasts?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Guang realized his mistake, as if he had been prying into their secrets.

Aleya gave Zhao Guang a white look, fully aware that he had no such intent, or they would have already detected it.

“Of course there are many Bimon Giant Beasts, it’s just that not many of them are fit for the battlefield.

And besides, these things are no longer exclusively used by the Bimon Giant Beasts.”

Zhao Guang’s expression turned somewhat strange; if not only the Bimon Giant Beasts, then who else could be using them.

Without much thought, it must be the Beastmen who realized the benefits of these things.

“Wait, that’s not right.

Do Beastmen even need this stuff?

Aren’t they all physically robust?”

“How would I know?

Go ask them yourself,” Aleya said, her face turning slightly annoyed, clearly not wanting to answer the question.

Indeed, discussing such matters in front of a beautiful woman wasn’t very pleasant.

As for asking anyone else, forget it, that would be too embarrassing.

Moreover, Zhao Guang pretty much understood what was going on; even he used to use Healing Techniques to recover at night, so presumably, like him, the Beastmen also wanted their love to last a bit longer.

“So, how are we going to proceed with our trades after today?”

Beastmen coming frequently to his territory could easily attract the attention of others.

If only he had the power of a fully developed Earl in his territory, then even if other nobles saw Beastmen coming and going often, they wouldn’t find it strange.

Some rules only apply to those lacking in strength and status.

“I plan on having some Beastmen move here; from now on, they’ll be your subjects.”

“To be my subjects?

Is that appropriate?” Zhao Guang asked hesitantly.

“It doesn’t matter.

It’s not unusual for Beastmen to be subjects in Human Territories, as long as they’re not from a powerful race.

Many Beastmen who cannot survive on their own will depend on other races.”

Aleya seemed somewhat disheartened, but there was no helping it; after all, the Beastmen could not control much.

If they’re not powerful Beastmen, then there seems to be no issues.

“So what types of Beastmen do you plan to bring here?

What talents do they have?” The territory was lacking in people, and come to think of it, it didn’t seem too bad to have Beastmen move in.

If it were another territory, an influx of too many Beastmen might cause displeasure.

But there would be no problem in Zhao Guang’s case, as all he had were slaves he had purchased himself.

Would they dare to oppose whatever he decided to do?

As they grew accustomed to the arrangement, there would be no issues at all.

“I have provided three types: Mouse-men, Lizardmen, and Rabbitfolk.”

Zhao Guang didn’t expect there to be a choice, and he had always thought Mouse-men were a separate lineage of their own.

“Introduce their characteristics to me,” Zhao Guang said, treating it as a business transaction.

“You’re already familiar with Mouse-men, they are adept at mining.

Although their abilities are inferior to those of other Beastmen, they are better at quarrying stone than the Mouse-men.”

“Then they must be a powerful race, why have they become a disadvantaged group?”

Mining reminded Zhao Guang of the legendary Dwarves, who were very strong.

Immensely strong, with well-crafted weapons and armor; besides their short legs, they had virtually no weaknesses.

“First off, the Beastmen’s smelting techniques are not advanced enough, and Mouse-men do not smelt.

Additionally, Mouse-men have taken over the underground, so these Mouse-men simply cannot compete with them, which is how they gradually became a disadvantaged group.”

Aleya also spoke helplessly: “However, these Mouse-men are not too bright, and if not managed well, they can be problematic.”
