" Tangi gazed enviously at the saint, revealing that he'd come alongside the orcs to witness his territory within the orc trib's domain.
As the multitude traversed into this new realm, the position of their territory was akin to gambling with their lives.
Those fortunate enough to be near resourcerich areas could thrive rapidly, while the less fortunate faced elimination by the second day of their arrival.
Regardless of Tangi's grievances, he managed to survive.
Unlike those who perished in various ways, leaving them with no opportunity to voice their complaints.
As the conversation veered towards the subject of the saint, Fong Hao lowered his voice and inquired, "What does he hail from? Quite the spectacle, isn't it?" Fonhao was aware that most who had crossed into this region were fellow countrymen.
He had never encountered anyone like that saint with a hooked nose and blue eyes.
Even the foreign travelers he had seen did not resemble him.
"Ah, that individual is of mixed heritage with a Chinese father and a mother from the northern regions.
Yet his Mandarin is more fluent than mine.
" Tangi remarked, glancing toward the saint in the distance.
"Ah, that explains it.
" Funhow responded.
After scrutinizing Fong Ho for a moment, Tangi leaned closer and asked, "Brother, who did you accompany here?" Unlike the mixed blood saint, the others were easily distinguishable by their uniform ecclesiastical attire.
Standing amidst the orcs and lizard men, Fongo found it challenging to discern his companions.
Understanding Tang Chi's implication, he cast his gaze upon the lizard man ahead.
Travelers were capable of perceiving the hero levels of one another.
Upon noticing the orange eighth tier strength of Dimitra, Tangi's expression shifted dramatically.
An orange hero was a rarity he had yet to encounter.
While Tangi was still in awe.
He spotted a cloak figure in front of the lizard man.
The displayed attribute was surprisingly dark gold.
At the fifth tier, Tangi was left dumbfounded.
Amid such a lengthy cue, it was perplexing that these two individuals clustered together.
Did you come with the orcs? Fun how casually inquired.
Tangi offered a sheepish smile, confessing, "Yes, that individual is the daughter of the Blackstone tribes chieftain, and we share a close bond.
She brought me along to explore.
" It appeared as though he sought to reclaim some semblance of dignity by mentioning his affiliation with the chieftain's daughter, implying a status that overshadowed the lizard men.
In his introduction, he revealed the tribe's name and the lineage of the chieftain, aiming to restore his pride.
Half a month prior, the Blackstone tribe had pursued a fleeing faction and stumbled upon Tangi's territory.
The chieftain's daughter led an assault on Tangi's domain.
However, Tangi skillfully negotiated with her, transforming their relationship from adversaries to allies overnight.
Leveraging this newfound alliance, Tangi aligned himself with the Blackstone tribe, alleviating concerns over disturbances from other factions while engaging in trade with the Orc tribes, thus enhancing his own strength.
This period had marketkedly accelerated the development of his territory.
Upon hearing the name of the Blackstone tribe, Fongo furrowed his brow.
It seemed that as previously relayed by Lu Lee, it was indeed the Blackstone tribe that had compelled her people to relocate.
What a remarkable coincidence it was to encounter members of the Blackstone tribe once more in this place.
Moreover, the team is led by the daughter of the chieftain of the Blackstone tribe, a robust warrior with a dark red physique.
This implies that Tangi's territory lies to the east of his own, not too far away.
Ah, perhaps in the future there will be an opportunity to visit the human city.
The orc territories are rather tumultuous and perilous.
Fong Hao replied, "Indeed, I am aware.
" Tangi stated.
The group continued its journey.
Tangi remarked again.
I wonder if Fong Hao and Tian Pong will come here.
I'm certain Fong Hao will, but I am uncertain if we shall cross paths.
After saying this, he gazed into the distance.
Do you know Fong Hao? Fong Hao inquired with curiosity.
Sensing familiarity in the tone, "It's not exactly knowing him.
I used to purchase my undergarments from him and merely wish to see what he looks like, perhaps to make his acquaintance.
" Tangi replied, lowering his voice once more.
Fongo scrutinized Tang Chiianu, suddenly realizing who he was.
The individual notorious for his skintight shorts, claiming to go commando, hobbling as he walked, "Oh, it's him, the staunch supporter of the undergarment industry.
" The two conversed in hush tones, each probing for intriguing information from the other.
The team pressed onward, nearing Fong Hao and his companions.
Tangi bid farewell to Fong Hao and rejoined the rear of the Blackstone tribes formation.
The leading female orc glanced towards the individual with whom she had just spoken.
Is he also your fellow townsman? She asked.
Yes, Tangi answered promptly.
Is his city near the tribe? The female orc continued her inquiry.
Not likely.
He arrived with the lizard men and should not be in proximity to the tribe.
Tangi responded without hesitation.
Upon hearing that he was not nearby, the female orc felt a twinge of regret.
This sudden appearance of a human possessing a unique magical prowess had significantly benefited her tribe, earning her greater favor in her father's eyes compared to her brethren.
Additionally, through her interactions with Tangi, she found human men to be rather agreeable, even more gentle and refined than orish men, which left her quite satisfied.
The human from the church was intimidating.
Yet, this plainly dressed individual might be someone she could strategize to bring into the tribe.
The female orc gazed greedily at Fong Hao, contemplating her plans.
At that moment, Domiga and Loranna simultaneously turned their attention toward the female orc.
The orc s expression froze instantly.
An icy aura of lethal intent enveloped her, plunging her into a frigid abyss.
Sweat beaded on her forehead, and her heavily furred legs trembled uncontrollably.
This was a warning, an unmistakable warning that any misstep could lead to her demise.
Who on earth were these individuals? She cursed silently, hastily lowering her gaze, unwilling to risk another glance.
"Please present your invitation, sir.
" A human guard announced at the entrance, scrutinizing the invitations.
Perhaps due to the fact that Fong Hao is also human, the attitude displayed is notably more amable than that of the previous races.
Even after joining the Merchant Alliance and maintaining a neutral stance, there's still subtle fluctuations in emotions.
Fong Hao produced an invitation and presented it to the guard.
The sentinel merely glanced at it and asked, "Sir, how many are you?" "There are four of us," Fonhow replied.
"Huh?" "Oh," the guard was taken back.
"Goodness, did you come as a group?" The assembly comprised orcs, lizard men, humans, and a peculiar figure draped in a cloak during broad daylight.
Certainly not a typical human.
Indeed, it was an odd ensemble.
The guard conducted a brief registration and issued a number tag.
"All done, sir.
Please proceed inside.
The guard stepped aside to clear the way.
Fong Hao nodded in gratitude and walked straight in.
Upon entering the venue, both Fong Hao and Inja displayed expressions of astonishment.
From exterior, the auction house resembled a four-story stone fortress.
However, within it was spacious and brightly lit, akin to stepping into a modern commercial edifice.
The floor gleamed with polished marble, and the surroundings were adorned with lavish decorations, radiating an aura of wealth and affluence.
The interior space had been entirely hollowed out, creating a vast central hall.
The ground floor featured rows of tables and chairs, while the second, third, and fourth floors housed private rooms of varying sizes encircling the central stage.
"Sir, may I see your number tag?" A female fairy fluttered over, her porcelain feet hovering a few inches above the ground as she smiled at Fong Hao.
He handed her the tag.
The fairy continued, "Sir, your seat is this way.
