Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World - Chapter 520

Chapter 520 – Arriving at Beast God City

When Zhao Hai heard the Black Bear Patriarch, he couldn't help but smile faintly and said, "Before, they wanted my food. But when I told them about the war, they decided to not buy the remaining food."

The Black Bear Patriarch stared for a moment before his complexion changed, he looked at Zhao Hai and said, "What? Did they dare to dishonor an agreement? Alright, tomorrow I'll go and settle accounts with that Old malnourished Wolf."

Zhao Hai immediately shook his head and said, "No, no. I already expected this before informing the Old Wolf King. You should know that their situation is much worse than the Black Bear tribe. Therefore, I told them that they might go into war and gain food there. Because of that, they decided to not buy the other food in my hands."

The Black Bear Patriarch looked at Zhao Hai curiously before saying, "Little Hai, why would you do that? You are a Merchant, wouldn't it be better if they buy your food?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Not really. To tell you the truth, I really didn't plan to sell those Bread Fruits to the Prairie. I can sell them elsewhere, and for more profit. Since the Prairie Wolf tribe are your friends, then they are my friends as well. I don't really need to cheaply profit off of them. What I want is long-term cooperation with the Beastmen. For this goal to be attained, I couldn't offend the Prairie Wolf tribe."

The Black Bear Patriarch stared at Zhao Hai for a moment before he laughed and continually patted Zhao Hai's shoulder. If this was in the past, Zhao Hai might not have been able to bear this beating. However, he was now an 8th rank expert and also had his body repeatedly strengthened by the Space. At this time, he doesn't feel anything from the pats of the Black Bear Patriarch, instead he even felt that two of them had gotten more intimate.

The banquet went very smoothly, especially for the Black Bear Patriarch. Even if he calls the Old Wolf King bad names, one could see that the relationship between the two was very good.

Zhao Hai's performance towards the Prairie Wolves also made the Black Bear Patriarch happy. Because of Zhao Hai's actions this time, the Black Bear Patriarch can see that Zhao Hai was really the Beastmen's friend. At the very least, he doesn't look down on them like any other Human.

After the banquet, Zhao Hai and the others were already quite tipsy. Since, they didn't have anything else left to do, Zhao Hai and the others returned to their tent and immediately drank two cups of Spatial Water. At the same time, Zhao Hai also informed Laura and the others about the changes inside the Space.

Although the Space didn't level up, the changes inside were very big. Compared to the past where the only thing that they could feel was warmth, the Space was now more comfortable and more alive.

The most important thing was the change towards the farming grounds. Even if the growth of the plants on the farming ground weren't slow, with the addition of the sun, it became even faster. It also seems like the plants looked much healthier than before.

Zhao Hai and the others were happy with this development. With the changes in the Space, they can also feel that the energy inside became thicker than before. At the same time, the energies were also more active.

Zhao Hai was very satisfied with the Space's transformation, he slept very well that night. The next morning, Zhao Hai bade farewells towards the Black Bear Patriarch. No matter what, they needed to head towards Beast God City, they had someone waiting for them there.

Mendez and Buffon didn't follow them and returned to their respective tribes. This time, their plans were very successful. The Herculean Bulls had gained a powerful ally with the Black Bear Tribe. For the Herculean Bulls, this development was great.

Buffon's main task was just to escort Zhao Hai as well as help Mendez gain a good relationship with the Black Bear Tribe. However, he also gained a lot from this trip. At the very least, he already saw that Zhao Hai had gotten the friendship flag of the Black Bear tribe. The Mastiff tribe can use this information to convince the other Dog-headed Tribe leaders that Zhao Hai was a good friend.

During the trip, Zhao Hai was inside the body of Alien. However, one could see that there were flags erected on top of the undead beast's body. There was the Herculean Bull's King's flag, the Big-bellied Pig Tribe's friendship flag and the Black Bear tribe's friendship flag. Even if Zhao Hai had a Dog-headed race's flag, it was just a common flag, so it was basically useless. He also had the Giant-horned Bull's friendship flag, however, he was already the Cow-headed Race's prince, erecting that flag was just redundant.

Even so, the sight was amazing. The Herculean Bull's King's flag represented the entirety of the Cow-headed Race. The Beastmen regarded face very heavily. This was because they knew that once their face gets dragged into the mud, their race would get annexed by other races.

If people dared to touch Zhao Hai, this would mean that they were offending the Royal tribe of the Cow-headed race. This would mobilize the entire Cow-headed race, and their strength wasn't something to be scoffed at.

Additionally, he also had the Black Bear Tribe's friendship flag. This flag held greater importance. Even if it was only a friendship flag, this flag represented that Zhao Hai was a true friend to the Black Bears. If Zhao Hai were to be bullied and was made known to the Black Bear Tribe, then one could be sure that the Black Bears wouldn't just sit by and do nothing.

Although the impact of the Big-bellied Pig tribe's friendship flag wasn't very great, it also indicated that Zhao Hai had been recognized by the Big-bellied Pig tribe. This was also something noteworthy to other Beastmen.

It can be said that even if the Beastmen and the Humans did go to war, there would be no Beastman who would act against Zhao Hai. It was because they would be offending multiple tribes while doing so, and nobody wanted to do such thing.

Zhao Hai's target right now was Beast God City. Therefore, he didn't go and deliberately contact every Beastman camp that he came across. Of course, proper contact was also necessary.

The distance between the Black Bear Tribe's domain and Beast God City wasn't very long, one could just travel for ten days before reaching the city. For the Beastmen, Beast God City was a sacred place. The more formidable the tribe, the nearer they were to the city. This also demonstrated their status. Beast God city was also the place where Beastmen can buy things more conveniently.

Because of his flags, Zhao Hai's journey was very relaxed. All of the tribes that he met were very polite. All of them welcomed Zhao Hai as a friend.

Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't just let them suffer a loss. So he left behind some grain as a gift to those tribes. This act made these Beastmen happy.

Zhao Hai and the others were also listening to rumors along the way. These rumors were about how the Radiant Church cut off all of the food heading towards the Prairie. It was directly passed on that the Radiant Church was behind this time's food shortage.

This information was something that the Wolf-headed Race, Bear-headed race, and the Dog-headed Race released together. They released this information in order to have the other races prepare, at the same time, this was also used to pressure the other Warring Races.

This information was also like a dropped bomb to the Beastmen. Before long, the Beastmen in the Prairie burst into action, the entire place was boiling with anticipation. Even Zhao Hai can see the changes of the Beastmen just by looking at their eyes.

Zhao Hai knew that if he didn't have those three flags, then those Beastmen may have already got to him and expelled him from the Prairie.

Although these Beastmen had their own internal thoughts, they still warmly received Zhao Hai's group. This made Zhao Hai's heart feel quite strange.

Zhao Hai didn't dare release a Blood Hawk towards Beast God City at this time. Beast God City always had at least ten 9th rank experts in it all the time. Even if the Blood Hawk has become very strong, it cannot defeat a 9th rank expert. If the 9th rank experts misunderstand, then Zhao Hai's troubles wouldn't be very small.

The other races should have already known about his Blood Hawk. Although he was now the Prince of the Herculean Bulls as well as a friend of the Black Bears, the 9th rank experts guarding the City wouldn’t' let him off if he dared to release a Blood Hawk right now.

After travelling for 10 days, Zhao Hai had finally arrived at Beast God City. What surprised Zhao Hai the most was the fact that the more they got closer to the city, the less they heard rumors about the Radiant Church and the food shortage. When he arrived at Beast God City, nobody was talking about it, this made Zhao Hai confused.

However, Zhao Hai's thoughts were interrupted when he finally saw the famous Beast God City. The city had both the colors of green and red. With what Zhao Hai saw, the city seemed like a beast that was lying there, prepared to attack anyone who dared offend it.

As he came closer and closer to the city walls, Zhao Hai noticed that the pressure increased. Although Beast God City was just like any other stone city, it's dark-red hue made people feel immense pressure.

Beast God City's walls weren't as tall as Carson City. The walls of the city was only about ten zhang(33m) high. However, since the city was placed on a flat and barren Prairie, it looked relatively tall.

Beast God City looked very lively. While he was yet to arrive at the City, Zhao Hai can already see tents people all around.

Zhao Hai looked at the tents and couldn't help but feel strange. However, he also knew that building houses in the Prairie was much harder than making houses in Human territory. Tents were much more common here.

Before long, Zhao Hai arrived near a clump of tents. He could see Human merchants entering and leaving the tents here.

Zhao Hai had Alien stop before he walked out of Alien's body. He wasn't afraid of causing panic among the Humans, but instead he didn't want the other Beastmen in the city to have an opportunity to blame him. It wasn't a wise move to offend the Beastmen at this place.

When Zhao Hai went out of Alien, he immediately received the undead. Then he walked on foot towards the city. At this time, a carriage was fast approaching  Beast God City. This carriage was pulled along by a 4th rank Magic Beast Tiger-tailed Horse. The fighting strength of this Magic Beast was good. Even if it wasn't the best when it came to speed, its strength was placed on the top among the 4th rank Magic Beasts.

Chapter 521 – The Ugly Ah Tai

The horse carriage was something commonly seen in the Prairie. It was full of Beastman craftsmanship techniques, and it was very large as well. It wasn't much smaller than the carriage that Randolph gave Zhao Hai.

The carriage quickly arrived in front of Zhao Hai's group. The driver stopped the carriage and jumped down. When the person jumped to the ground, Zhao Hai was taken back. It was because this man was very tall, he was about two and a half meters tall, he also had a muscular body that wasn't much less than those Beastmen.

This man wore a leather robe that looked very worn and ugly. His skin was also very black, he looked like a black person from Earth. If his body was just covered with hair, then one wouldn't doubt him if he posed as someone from an Ape tribe.

When the man arrived near Zhao Hai's group, he bowed to Laura and excitedly said, "Young lady, you finally came. Ah Tai was waiting for you for quite a while."

It was at this point that Zhao Hai and the others understood that this man was the person that Laura sent to the Prairie, Ah Tai. Seeing this person's appearance, Zhao Hai and the others couldn't help but make a strange expression. Did Laura send Ah Tai to the Prairie because of his appearance?

Laura nodded and said, "Ah Tai, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to have darkened some more. Come meet my husband, Zhao Hai."

Ah Tai turned to Zhao Hai and bowed, "Ah Tai has seen the Uncle." Zhao Hai wasn't used to be called by this name, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, no need to be polite. It's been hard for you these past few years. Also, you can just call me young master."

Ah Tai looked up and honestly smiled, "Young Master, I really hadn't been having it hard. I have something to eat and drink everyday, actually, it's been very easy."

Zhao Hai stared at Ah Tai. He never imagined Laura to send such an awkward looking guy to the Prairie. She was actually not afraid that he wouldn't be able to sell properly.

Then Laura introduced Ah Tai to Megan and the others. While Ah Tai were meeting his wives, Zhao Hai paid attention to the surroundings. Around them were merchants who were somehow acquainted with Ah Tai. Zhao Hai could even see some of them pointing towards their direction.

Zhao Hai focused his ears and listened to the words of those people. He listened to a merchant on their side, "Look, isn't that silly Ah Tai? Why did he run out of the camp?"

Another person answered, "Who knows? But looking at his respectful appearance, it seems like the person who came has an authority over him. I heard that this person might have been from the Buda Clan. From the undead earlier, it seems like it was Buda Clan's Patriarch Zhao Hai."

The person who previously spoke said, "If it is really possible for it to be Zhao Hai, Ah Tai is really unlucky. Now that the food is expensive, he actually dared to sell it at a cheap price. I'm afraid that this fool would suffer this time."

The other person said, "Tone down your voice. I heard that this Zhao Hai isn't a simple person. He became famous by being vicious and ruthless on the continent. If he heard our bad words towards Ah Tai, he might not let us off."

The first person snorted and said, "Why do we need to be afraid? This is Beast God City. Violence wasn't allowed in a thousand li radius around the city.  If someone dares to neglect this rule, the Beastmen wouldn't let them off easily." Although he said that, his voice was evidently much quieter.

The other person replied, "Don't say that. Even if he cannot find trouble with us inside Beast God City, what would happen when we leave the city? This is Beastman Prairie, if he killed us here, our families would think that it was the Beastmen who did it." Then the two of them went silent.

Zhao Hai now had a faint understanding of the situation. He turned around to look at the ugly man who was talking with Laura. If Ah Tai chose to sell the goods at the same price as those merchants, then Zhao Hai would truly be disappointed, but now it seems like he didn't do so.

After Ah Tai greeted Laura and the others, he then invited the group over to the carriage. When Zhao Hai and the others were on board, Ah Tai immediately drove the carriage towards Beast God City.

Inside the carriage, Zhao Hai looked at Laura nd said, "Didn't they say that the camps outside Beast God City were only temporary and sparse? How come there are a lot of people here?"

Laura smiled and replied, "It used to be like that, but now there were a lot more Humans who were trading with the Beastmen. Because of that, the Beastmen allowed them to set up shop outside the city. Because of that, Ah Tai also had his own place outside the city. However, since we managed to take over the Markey Family, Ah Tai had gotten a place inside.

Zhao Hai nodded, then he asked again, "What's the difference between inside and outside the city?"

Laura replied, "There aren't a lot of differences really. The amount of buildings inside the city are too small, tents were much more prevalent there. Also, since the soil inside the city were made from Beast Blood Earth and were heavily controlled by the Beastmen, only great families of the continent were able to have a place there. The weaker merchants can only go outside the city." Zhao Hai nodded. At this time, the carriage had already entered the city.

Through the carriage's window, Zhao Hai looked at the city. The insides of Beast God City was indeed very different from the outside. There were structures inside that were built using Beast Blood Earth. In front of those buildings, Beastmen were seen to be guarding the entrance. It seems like those buildings were very important and weren't used for casual matters. In other places, large tents could be seen. However, these tents were tightly packed. The inside of the tent looked also the same as what would be seen in a normal house.

Words were written on the curtains of those tents. Some of them had names of the stores, at it seems like these shops were all selling assorted merchandise. Zhao Hai cannot see any shops that specialized on a certain product.

Before long, the carriage stopped in front of a tent. This tent was very big, and on its curtains were large letters that read, "Magic Lily Store."

When Zhao Hai saw those words, he couldn't help but feel warm. This Magic Lily Shop was a trademark of the Markey Family, but who would've thought that this shop was built by Laura herself.

There were two people outside this tent. These two doesn't seem to be very large, but still looked very strong. Their build and faces was actually quite similar to Ah Tai.

Ah Tai jumped down from the carriage and then said, "Ah Da, go unload the things in the carriage. Ah Er, prepare some food and drinks for the Young Master and the Young Ladies." The two complied and then turned around to get busy. They unexpectedly didn't greet Zhao Hai and the others.

Ah Tai became somewhat embarrassed, he scolded the two and said, "Show your manners!" Then he turned to Laura and Zhao Hai before saying, "I'm sorry, Young Master, Young Lady, those two doesn't have very good manners. I've shown you a disgraceful sight."

Zhao Hai waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, this is but a small thing." Ah Tai felt relieved, then he led Zhao Hai and the others inside the tent.

Upon entering the tent, Zhao Hai couldn't help but stare. This was because the furnishings in this tent were just like the furnishings in Laura's Magic Lily Shop. However, there were only a few things left inside. There were a small amount of fruit oil present, the other places were quite empty.

Ah Tai embarrassingly looked at Laura and said, "Young Lady, forgive me. The grain and the vegetables are all sold out."

Laura smiled and said, "That's not a problem. You go take a break. I want to explore this place. I also remember how fragrant Sister-in-law's barbecue was."

Ah Tai smiled and said, "Young Lady actually remembers. Since we knew that Young Lady and Young Master were coming, I already had my wife prepare everything. Then, Young Master, Young Lady, please." Then he led the group to a yard behind the tent.

Once they arrived at the yard, they can see that several smaller tents were also erected there. Ah Tai's two sons can also be seen unloading the contents of the carriage into the yard.

Ah Tai directly led the group towards the tent in the middle. Just as he was about to open the tent's curtain, the curtain was suddenly flung open, then a tall woman came out.

The woman seems to be about 40 years old. Although she was already old, and had wrinkles on her face, she was still attractive. Once could see that she was quite beautiful when she was a young woman.

When the woman saw Laura, her face couldn't hide her excitement. She immediately arrived in front of Laura and sized her up before saying, "The Young Lady has surely grown up, you're getting more and more attractive. Time really passes by quickly, in a blink of an eye, the Young Lady was already married. It's a pity that I've not been able to participate in the ceremony."

Laura smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, how have you been good these years? Did Uncle Ah Tai bully you?"

Ah Tai's wife gave a quick glance to her husband and said, "As if he'd dare. Right, Young Lady, come quickly, I've prepared a lot of delicious food." Then Ah Tai's wife turned her gaze towards Zhao Hai while Zhao Hai also looked her in the eye.

Zhao Hai saw that Laura's relationship with Ah Tai's wife was very unusual. When she spoke to Laura, she wasn't being polite. On the contrary, it seems like it was Laura who spoke to her with respect.

Then Ah Tai's wife suddenly gave her greetings to Zhao Hai, "This one has seen Uncle. This one is called Pearl, people generally refer to me as Ah Tai's wife. Sister-in-law would also do fine."

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly, it seems like being called 'Uncle' was very common here. He immediately replied and said, "Thanks, Sister-in-law. You can just call me Young Master, Zhao Hai is good as well."

Ah Tai's wife smiled and said, "I can't call you by name, so I'll just call you Young Master." Then she led Zhao Hai and the others to enter the tent.

The tent was very similar to an ordinary Beastman tent. Only the interior decorations were different, this one had more Human furniture in it.

There was also a furnace inside, of which several good slices of meat were being barbecued. There were also dishes on the sides, taking advantage of the heat to stay warm.

After Ah Tai's wife got introduced to Megan and the others, she immediately invited the group to sit down on the carpet. She also served the group some tea before she spoke to Laura, "Young Lady, you sit here first. The vegetables are still not finished. When they are done, we can have our meal." Laura nodded, then Ah Tai's wife began to get busy, Ah Tai also helped her from the side.

Zhao Hai drank his tea and then turned to Laura, "Laura, are you very close with Sister-in-law?"

Laura smiled and said, "Not just sister-in-law, I'm also quite close with Ah Tai. Ah Tai was my mother's guard while Sister-in-law was my mother's maidservant. They were there while I was growing up."
