Come with me.

I have received some news that warrants our consideration, Fongghao replied.

At that moment, Nelson was still engaged in the skeletal hero transformation ceremony within the organ museum and had yet to emerge.

Faced with circumstances, he decided to converse with Fireblade first.

The two returned to the Lord's Hall, where Anja, still blurry-eyed, had just ascended the stairs, unaware she had left Fong Hoa<unk>s room.

"Anja, join us.

We need to deliberate together.

" Fong Hao called out to her, not knowing her intentions.

"Oh," Anjha replied somewhat reluctantly, her eyes darting curiously towards Fireblade, seemingly intrigued by the blood red blade he held.

The trio took their seats in the hall, and Fongo spoke directly.

Have either of you heard of the crushed skull tribe? Fireblade shook his head, admitting ignorance.

Is it an orc tribe? His memories, or rather his soul, had been altered and erased, and all recollections of orc tribes had vanished, leaving only the memories of his transformation into the undead, the crushed skull tribe, the one from the Frostwood Mountains.

Anji interjected.

Her curiosity peaked.

Both men's gazes fell upon her, indicating she possessed some knowledge of the subject.

Chapter 102.

The Silkworm room.

Upon reflection, it made sense.

Anya was a hero of the Beastman tribe, and she had fared decently in the tavern, enabling her to hear tidbits about the Skull Crusher tribe.

Indeed, the Skull Crusher tribe of the Cold Wind Mountains.

How much do you know about it? Fong Hoa inquired directly.

Anya casually replied.

I have heard some rumors.

The chieftain of the Skull Crusher Tribe, S, is notorious for being a ruthless tyrant.

He conquered the entire expanse of the Cold Wind Mountains long ago and has been investigating tribal migrations ever since.

The Cold Wind Mountains S.

Fong Hao committed these names to memory.

From Anya's words, it seemed that this S had indeed subdued the entire region.

What S's strength? How many troops does he command? Fongo continued to ask.

It is said he is quite formidable.

I have never seen him myself, but his forces are numerous, and the entirety of the Cold Wind Mountains is under his dominion.

Anya responded, "The Cold Wind Mountains were a considerable distance from their current location.

" Anya, being a beastman herself, had only heard of the Skull Crusher tribe, but had never ventured there, nor had she encountered S.

Fong Ha nodded in understanding.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke again.

I received word from Copper Bull Talic that the Skull Crusher Tribe is planning to launch an attack against us.

So, I require information on their movements.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of both individuals grew serious.

From Anya's account, the strength of the Skull Crusher tribe was far beyond that of ordinary tribes.

This was not a favorable development for a territory that had only recently begun to flourish.

How could that be? The Cold Wind Mountains are quite far.

It would take several days to traverse.

Surely, Talic must be mistaken.

Anya expressed her skepticism.

You should not be wrong, Anya.

Here, look at the map.

Point out the location of the Cold Wind Mountains for me.

Fungho said as he opened the map page of the Lord<unk>'s Book.

Anya stood beside him, resting her elbow on his shoulder, intrigued by the wondrous, glowing map.

The map in the Lord's book resembled an aerial view found in games, showcasing mountains and rivers rather than a mere sketch on paper.

Aside from the vicinity of our territory, everything else is shrouded in mist.

How am I to discern what is what? Anya's finger hovered in the air, hesitating to settle.

Perhaps around this area, she finally indicated a location to the northeast of their territory, confirming the distance was indeed substantial.

If war truly breaks out and you perish, "Do not forget to nullify our contract.

If I survive, I shall avenge you," Ana suddenly remarked.

Fong Hao was momentarily taken aback and retorted.

"Should I be thanking you for that?" The contract bound Fong Hao and Ana together.

One of its stipulations was that should the master fall, both the slave and the hero would follow suit.

This was an unyielding decree within the rules, underscoring the necessity of the master as preservation.

Anya seemed concerned that Fong Ha's demise would lead to her own downfall.

"Not necessary," Ana replied, patting Fong Hao's shoulder, oblivious to the underlying tone of his words.

Fong Hao cast a brief glance at her before turning his attention to Hen.

Hen, please arrange for the soldiers to elevate their ranks and enhance the patrols surrounding our territory.

Yes, my lord, Hin replied, promptly departing to organize the tasks.

After the morning meeting, had also prepared breakfast, and as Fong Ho approached the dining table, and Jia comfortably took a seat.

Once breakfast was served, the three began to eat in silence.

While Injia and Eair engaged in conversation, their camaraderie suggesting a long-standing friendship with Fong Hao being a recent addition.

Suddenly, a notification from the Lord's book chimed, indicating a private message.

Fong Ha, are you there? I am, Fongghao responded.

I possess a blueprint and would like to exchange it for some spring wells.

Of course, let me see the blueprint, he replied.

At this stage, the demand for meat had been steadily declining.

The number of sellers in the channel increased making it challenging to sell meat as quickly as before.

However, Fongo Spring Wells held a significant position in the current market with daily supplies being insufficient to meet the soaring demand, thus accumulating rare resources for him.

How about this silkworm breeding house blueprint? The other party continued.

That sound promising.

What is your asking price? Fun inquired further.

Five units of spring wells.

The other party stated without hesitation, "Five units is excessive.

It would allow me to acquire three of your developmental blueprints.

I can offer two units.

If you're willing to sell, please list it.

" Fong how countered directly.

This was not a mere attempt at haggling in the channel.

Spring wells were exchanged solely for rare materials and special items.

While blueprints required private discussions to assess their value, the silkworm breeding house blueprint would undoubtedly be beneficial.

Yet it necessitated raising silkworms to produce silk which could be time-conuming and may not yield immediate returns if the silk worms failed to thrive.

One could find themselves in dire straits.

Upon hearing Fongo's offer, the other party fell silent, ultimately consenting with a determined breath.

Very well, two units it is.

I will list it now.

After confirming, the other party promptly listed the trade.

Fonggho then transferred two units of Spring Wells, completing the transaction.

In an instant, he found himself in possession of the Silkworm breeding house blueprint.

Level one silkworm breeding house, 500 wood, 420 stone, 350 straw, 220 leather, 180 hemp rope, one natural gemstone.

The required building materials were relatively modest, but it necessitated a natural gemstone, suggesting that the silkworm breeding house was indeed a higher tier structure.

Finishing his meal in a few bites, Fong Hao proceeded to an open space and initiated the construction of the silkworm breeding house.

A radiant glow enveloped the area, revealing a rather ordinary wooden structure before him, not significantly different from a level one wooden house.

Level one silkworm breeding house.
