In the next instant, the werewolf, eyes tightly shut, suddenly opened them wide.

It rolled over and sat up, surveying its surroundings with a startled gaze.

Little you.

The werewolf instantly rose to its feet, crossing its legs in a bow.

Master, does this meet your approval? The sight of a somewhat balding, scarred werewolf awkwardly performing a lady's curtsy was somewhat difficult to accept.

Yet, it was evident that little you had succeeded.

She could now control this body.

From Fongo's perspective, it still appeared as Clawigo.

Excellent.

Next.

Be mindful of your conduct.

You are a heroic werewolf, Fongo advised.

Oh, understood.

Little you felt relatively at ease.

She could maneuver this body as if it were her own.

However, the werewolf's form caused her considerable discomfort.

This body can be sustained for 5 days.

After that, signs of death will manifest.

You must gather information and return within this period or seek a new body, Nelson reminded from the side.

This meant that the body could only last for 5 days.

After that, it would be evident to others that it had perished, putting Little U herself in jeopardy.

I comprehend, scholar Nelson.

I shall bring back the intelligence.

Little you replied, treating the academic with the utmost respect.

Very well.

Exercise caution.

If danger arises, return promptly, Fonggha reiterated.

Subsequently, the group deliberated on the necessary precautions.

After multiple reminders to prioritize safety, Little U, possessing the werewolf's body, rode forth from the territory, swiftly heading towards the Frost Wind Mountains.

Before her departure, Fongghao briefed her on the werewolf tribe circumstances and handed her a teleportation scroll bound to the territo's coordinates.

With the sound of galloping hooves, she exited the domain.

Once Little U had departed, Nelson closed the doors of the organ museum once again, resuming his unfinished tasks.

Fong Ho pondered where additional defenses should be established within the territory.

While deep in thought, Air approached briskly and whispered, "Master, the skeleton merchant has arrived and is waiting in the market area.

Has it already come time for the skeleton merchant's appearance?" Several days had indeed passed since the last visit.

Very well, I shall go at once.

In the market area, the skeleton merchant leaned on a gemstudded staff, its bony fingers idly toying with the items in hand.

With pupils ablaze in a cerulean light, he surveyed the territory before him in astonishment.

The imposing city walls, the towering watchtowers, the magical towers brimming with arcane energy, along with the organ museum, blacksmith's forge, and Taylor's shop, all left him in disbelief.

It was difficult to fathom that within a mere week this domain had evolved to such an extent were it not for the agility of his mind.

He might have believed he had misremembered the time or arrived in the wrong territory.

Amidst his astonishment, he noticed Fong how striding towards him with great purpose.

The skeletal merchant, "Are you well?" immediately broke into a smile and respectfully bowed, saying, "Esteemed sir, we meet again.

Indeed, it is a pleasure to see you once more, Mr.

Are you well? Fonhow replied with an equally warm smile.

Their transactions had always been smooth and the items purchased had significantly bolstered the territory strength.

I hope the goods this time will meet your satisfaction, Rul said, tapping his staff on the ground.

A skeletal display emerged, showcasing the items available for sale that day.

Fongo stepped forward to examine the details of the merchandise.

It seems that the elevation of the territory has enhanced the quality of the blueprints on the shelf.

Previously most were white with only one or two appearing in green.

Now however they are predominantly green and blue with one purple blueprint.

I shall acquire them all.

Fong Hao produced 435 Warfire coins and placed them into the skeletal merchant's hand.

Thank you for your generosity.

The skeletal merchant acknowledged as he accepted the coins, retrieving the blueprints from the shelf and handing them over to Fong Ho.

Fonggho received the blueprints and recorded them using the Lord Sbook.

Once the skeletal merchant had completed the transaction, he prepared to depart.

Mr.

Brewer, if you're not in a hurry, might we sit in converse? Fongghao proposed.

The skeletal merchant paused, curiosity flickering in his gaze as he turned to Fonggha.

I am not in haste.

What would you like to discuss, my lord? He replied.

The two settled onto a nearby stone bench.

I recall you mentioning, Mr.

Ruer, that when the territory reaches the stone tower level, one may sell goods externally.

My lord's estate has now ascended to this level.

What step should I take next? Fonggho broached the subject directly.

He distinctly remembered Ruer stating that the market could facilitate external sales.

Now that the lord's estate had attained the stone tower status, he was uncertain about the subsequent actions.

Lacking guidance for the next step.

Oh, so it is this matter that troubles you.

Ruer discerned the reason for Fongous inquiry, realizing that in merely a week, the territory had advanced to the stone tower phase, a pace of development that even a well-traveled merchant like Ruer found astonishing.

Indeed, Mr.

Ruer, do you possess knowledge of the procedure? Fonhow inquired.

To sell goods to various factions through the market.

One must gain the recognition of the Celestial Merchant Alliance and become a member therein.

Ruer elucidated.

Funhao furrowed his brow.

intrigued by the mention of the celestial I'm merchant alliance.

How does one join this alliance? He asked surprised that external sales through the market required endorsement from this organization.

Ruer continued, gaining the acknowledgement of the celestial and merchant alliance is no trivial matter.

Only the more powerful factions in each region are eligible for membership.

In addition to financial and influential considerations, one must also acquire the guarantee and recommendation of existing members.

Funhow stroked his chin thoughtfully.

This indeed seems rather stringent, akin to bidding for a company.

Mr.

Ruer, is there a method to obtain such guarantees and recommendations? He inquired.
