Chapter 297 The Noble Druid!

The Marquis of Nevernight also scoffed coldly.

Otterflame, being a seasoned city-state war commander, quickly calmed down.

He looked at the group, his initial wariness and murderous intent completely gone, and said politely, "So, you all crossed the Triangle Sea and arrived at our Sea Otter City-State first?"

Otter behind him looked at his leader with a puzzled expression, not understanding why he was being so polite to a group of savage orcs.

According to the rumors of the orc city-states, on the other side of the Triangle Sea, there is a place separated by the Beast God, where a group of orcs live, eating raw meat and drinking blood, never having enough to eat or wear, and not even able to understand the city-state's language.

In the eyes of the city-state orcs, the orcs from the northern mountains were nothing more than savage beasts, no different from wild animals!
Calling them orcs is being too polite.

Although it's unclear why these people have a spaceship, it's obvious that the Sea Otter City-State doesn't need to take them seriously at all; the females are under their rule, and the males are all killed!
Teng clearly caught the malice swirling in Otter's eyes, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his dark green vertical pupils.

Fu Ying nodded slightly: "I wonder if the commander would allow us to stay here temporarily?"

They were completely clueless about everything in the New World, including the "Trial of the Teeth" that the orc had just mentioned. It sounded like some kind of grand event, and encountering a local celebration in an unfamiliar place often leads to a lot of trouble.

Although she wasn't afraid, she found it troublesome, and her main purpose in coming to the New World was to find Bai Cang and Qing Lan.

Additionally, you should inquire with the people of the Otter City-State about the Grumgar City-State.

Before Otter Flame could speak, Otter Li suddenly sneered: "You are just wild beastmen from the Northern Mountains. You are not qualified to enter our Otter City-State. Moreover, if you want to pass through us to leave, you will need to pay some tolls."

After saying that, he stroked his chin: "You come from outside the impoverished Triangle Sea, so you probably don't have any beast crystals or beast cores. How about this, just leave that spaceship behind as toll, and you can leave."

As the captain in charge of managing the orc laborers at the docks, he always had some say in front of the commander.

Why be polite to these barbaric beasts? Just say what you want to say!
"What did you say?!" Teng was furious and immediately transformed into a giant black snake, raising its triangular head high and revealing sharp fangs to Otter. Venom flowed from its snow-white fangs, sizzling as it fell on the sand, exuding a fierce aura.

The sudden attack by Teng sent the orcs of the Sea Otter City-State into a panic, and they all raised their steel spears.

Several males stared coldly at them, and the surging, violent aura around them made the air seem to freeze.

The Teng Snake flicked its tongue, its strong body gently wrapping around Fu Ying, protecting her tightly in its embrace.

War is about to break out.

"Snapped--"

A loud slap rang out, and Otori staggered, almost losing his balance.

His eyes were filled with terror, and he didn't even dare to look up at the commander; his legs had completely gone weak.

Otter Flame's icy gaze swept over Otter's body, and he said coldly, "I'll settle the score with you later!"

After saying this, he turned to face Fu Ying and the others, his expression gentle and polite, his tone tinged with guilt: "I am truly sorry, it was my poor management that made you all laugh. It is an honor for our Otter City to entertain you all, please."

As Otterflame finished speaking, the warriors of the Otter City-State angrily put down their weapons and retreated to the side.

They stood respectfully on both sides, giving Fu Ying and the others a grand welcoming ceremony.

Teng squinted, looked down at Fuying, and slowly stepped back to make way for her. Fuying flipped her wrist, and the huge spaceship that had been hovering on the sea instantly transformed into a small boat the size of a palm, resting in Fuying's palm. This scene caused the surroundings to fall silent.

"Druid!" Otterflame's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but gasp.

The warriors of the Otter City-State all turned their gazes to Fu Ying, their eyes filled with shock.

"Druid? What do you mean?" The Marquis of Nightless City raised an eyebrow, breaking the surrounding silence.

Otter Flame looked at Fu Ying, took a deep breath, and the shock in his eyes lingered for a long time.

He treats these wild beastmen from the North Mountain kindly simply because he has seen the strength of their leader. He doesn't want to offend young beastmen like them who are talented but whose strength is limited by their region.

Moreover, this is a critical period for the "decisive judgment," and if a fight breaks out, they will be the ones who suffer.

Sea Otter City-State is just a small coastal city-state. Its only asset is the seafood trade, which involves transporting cleaned and fresh fish and shrimp to other large city-states in exchange for city-state currency, which can be used to purchase military equipment and strengthen its own power.

For these newly arrived, uncivilized orcs, goodwill always brings more benefits than malice.

Of course, this was also because the former showed absolute fighting spirit. If Otter's request had been granted, he would have swallowed this barbaric orc without hesitation, but they did not seem to be easy to deal with.

So in the end, he chose kindness and welcomed them into the city.

However, he never expected that there would be a "Druid" among this mysterious wild beastman tribe in the northern mountains.

Otterflame's attitude became increasingly polite. Although the question was asked by the Nightless Marquis, his words were directed at Fu Ying: "Honorable Druid, please. I know you have just arrived in the Orcish City-State and are unfamiliar with everything. I will enlighten you."

With a gentle clench of his fist, Fu Ying slowly made the spaceship disappear.

Seeing this, Otter Flame lowered his eyes slightly and bent his waist a few inches more.

And so, Fu Ying led a group of beastmen, following behind Otter Flame, and smoothly entered the Otter City-State.

Fu Ying's gaze swept over the beast-drawn carts on the street and the vendors selling fruits and vegetables. Smelling the aroma of roasted meat in the air, his eyebrows twitched slightly. The city-state civilization here was indeed developing rapidly.

The Cangshan tribe and the fallen beastmen were overwhelmed by what they saw. After witnessing life here, they realized how miserable their lives had been in the North Mountain. The beastmen here had truly transcended the word "beast."

However, no matter how rapid the development or how advanced the civilization, it cannot escape the distinctions of "different classes" and "high and low status."

Fu Ying watched as the beast-drawn cart swept through the streets, knocking several small vendors to the ground. They dared not say a word, but instead knelt on the ground, begging for the forgiveness of the beastman nobles. Only after the cart had gone far away did they wipe away their tears and pick up their belongings from their stalls.

Otter Flame remained silent about this, clearly having taken it for granted.

He led Fuying to the tallest and most magnificent building in the city, where the guards opened the city gates.

Instead of leading his people inside, Otterflame turned to look at the vast army of Northern Mountain orcs behind him and hesitated, saying, "Honorable Druid, your people are not allowed to enter the fortress where the leader resides."

Perhaps fearing that Fuying might misunderstand, he added, "In the orc city-state, subordinate races are all lower-class citizens, not nobles. They are not allowed to touch even a fraction of the nobles' territory. I hope that you, Lord Druid, can understand."

As he spoke, he crossed his arms across his chest, lowered his head slightly, and became even more polite.
