The resolution of the Lord's book was exceptional.

Even when enlarged several dozen times, it remained remarkably clear.

In the lower right corner of the image, there was a man transporting items clad in a black robe and wearing a mask.

What caught Fongghow's attention was the exposed skin at the collar and the seam of the mask as the man bent to lift the objects.

The skin appeared to be grotesqually contorted, indicating past injuries.

This reminded Fong how someone lie go.

The burly man who had stormed into a tavern in Lix City and brutally assaulted gamblers had similar scars on his left cheek and neck.

After pondering for a moment, Fonggho addressed the air, "Please summon Shiaoyu.

" "Of course, Master.

" The air responded before departing.

Shortly thereafter, shadows began to shift nearby, and Shiaoy<unk>s figure gradually materialized.

"Master, did you call for me?" "By the heavens," Fonho exclaimed, startled.

He shot a disapproving glance at Shiau.

"Could you perhaps use the door next time?" "Yes, master.

" Shiau replied softly, though seemingly unfazed.

Shiau, I have a task for you.

Shiau<unk>s eyes sparkled with interest.

Oh, master, what is your command? Go to Liix's city and capture a person.

I require him alive.

Chapter 319.

The merchant of Orc City, Fong How first recounted the events concerning Liia's city to Shiau.

He then opened the Lord's book, turning the pages to show her the images.

Unfortunately, he could not print the photographs at that moment.

Otherwise, he would have printed a copy for Shiau to take with her.

Master, you wish for me to bring this person back.

Correct.

Shall you inquired, pointing to an individual depicted in the lower right corner of the image? Yes, judging by the scar on his neck, he is indeed lio.

Find a way to bring him back.

Fongo affirmed with a nod.

I understand, master.

I shall complete the task without fail, Shiau vowed loudly.

Very well.

You shall set off tomorrow.

Please ensure your safety, Fongghao instructed.

Understood, master.

With that, Shiau vanished once more into the shadows.

After her departure, Eierre returned, kneeling beside him.

Her delicate hands began to massage Fong House shoulders.

Master Millie has now reached the fourth tier.

Eier suddenly announced Millie was the petite bunny made with drooping white ears.

Standing at a mere 1.

5 m tall.

She had displayed a combat prowess that belied her stature after consuming stamina potions.

It was astonishing that she had achieved the fourth tier in such a short span of time, Fungha recalled fondly how just days prior he had caught her digging a hole in the wall behind the hot springs.

Despite her playful nature, she had made remarkable progress.

It seemed that she indeed possessed a certain talent, which surprised Fong Hao.

Fong Hao had encouraged the maids to consume stamina potions, not with the expectation of enhancing the territo's military strength.

After all, their ranks were filled with millions of soldiers, but rather to improve their physical constitution and ensure they could defend themselves when venturing beyond the safety of the territory.

Without such measures, they would be vulnerable to danger.

Little did he expect that one of them would exhibit such exceptional talent and rapid advancement.

Master, Milliey's growth has slowed now that she remains within the territory.

Perhaps you could assign her some tasks outside to refine her playful disposition, Eir suggested softly.

Fongo understood Eir's intention.

The rabbit folk lacked the innate physicality of orcs and rarely produced formidable warriors, resulting in their oppression within the orc community.

Milliey's swift progression had ignited hope in EA, prompting her desire for dedicated cultivation.

Of course, Fong Ha was willing to nurture these obedient maids, and with the binding rules of the slave contract, if he could cultivate even one or two heroes, it would be a significant boon.

"Very well, I shall look for some safe task for her to undertake," Fungha" replied.

No sooner had he spoken than a voice rang out from beyond the surrounding walls, exclaiming, "Excellent! It's overrun?" Followed closely by the sounds of hurried footsteps retreating.

Fong Ho sat up astonished and turned his gaze toward the direction of the fleeing sounds while Eier smiled knowingly beside him.

The following morning, Fonggha awoke from his slumber, stretching languidly as he sat up in bed.

A glance at the bedside clock revealed it was already 6:30 a.

m.

After dawning his attire and completing a brief wash, he was about to exit his chamber when a sound reminiscent of a conch shell pierced the air.

Upon accessing the storage space of a lord's book, he discovered a message from the copper bowl.

Pressing the con to his ear, he heard the voice of the copper bowl.

My lord, an orc merchant caravan has arrived at the mana market from Tarso City.

Seeking to establish a shop there, Fonhao was familiar with Tarso City, an orc settlement situated to the east of his domain.

Previously intended as a destination for the spider folk, Domina, to undergo her hero ascension.

It was one of the larger orc cities in the vicinity.

Although he had contemplated engaging with the orc city, their untamed nature had led him to postpone such plans.

Unexpectedly, the caravan had already reached Mana Market and commenced their commercial endeavors.

After returning the conchk to storage, he stepped out of his room, instructing Eir to prepare a simple breakfast and rousing the slumbering Injia from the second floor.

Following breakfast, Fong Hao, accompanied by Inja and Domiga, mounted the skeletal dragon and set forth for Copperbull City.

Upon arrival, they transferred a horses and proceeded directly to Mana Market.

Upon reaching the chieftain's hall, they beheld a massive cart drawn not by horses, but by two rhinoceroses, each akin in size to an elephant.

The colossal creatures stood placidly, while a minur guard prepared fodder for them.

After a cursory glance, Fong House stroed into the chieftain's hall.

Seated at the center was the Copper Bull, flanked by a robustly built orc clad in opulent attire alongside several orc guards.

As Fong Ho entered, the Copper Bull rose and cleared his throat.

"Ah, Lord Fong Hao, allow me to introduce Mr.

Mativa from Tarso City.

" The Copper Bull gestured towards the orc merchant, adding, "This is Mr.

Fong Hao, my esteemed partner in managing Mana Market.

Given that the market was under human occupation, such a description served to mitigate potential complications.

Mativa, twirling a golden ring on his thumb, scrutinized the trio that had entered humans, orcs, and lizard folk.

A curious amalgamation.

After absorbing the copper bull's introduction, Mativa also rose, proclaiming, "Greetings, Mr.

Fong Hao.

Is a pleasure to meet you.

I am Mativa, wishing you strength and prosperity.

" He performed a gesture customary among humans, befitting his role as a merchant.

Mr.

Mativa, please take a seat.

I understand that your visit pertains to establishing a shop at Mana Market.

What type of establishment do you intend to open? Fongghow inquired directly.

Our Lars merchant guild primarily deals in weapons, armor, and slaves alongside an assortment of leather goods and blueprint items.

Mativa responded.

The Lars Chamber of Commerce serves as the official commercial institution of Tarsco City and is renowned in its own right.

Initially, the Orc populace regarded commerce with disdain, viewing it merely as a means for others to amass wealth, believing that plunder was a far more expedient method of acquiring riches.

However, the Lars Chamber has gradually transformed this perception among the orcs.
