"Oh, so that's it, I thought griffins were all the very big kind, I didn't realize there were ones that specialized in delivering letters, are griffins so versatile in size?"

　　Carlos asked suspiciously.

　　"These are specially bred by humans, griffins were originally just ordinary magical beasts, humans went on a rampage to capture wild griffins and then specially domesticated them, developing several branches over time."

　　"There are war griffins that specialize in serving the military system, small communication griffins, and passenger griffins that are used for transportation, all types of griffins are so numerous and divided into different categories, each with their own duties, that they have evolved from a race of magical beasts into a tool in the daily lives of humans!"

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Reduced to a tool? It's a bit pathetic to say that... don't all Wraiths aspire to freedom?

　　Especially this winged magical beast."

　　Carlos felt a little miserable for the griffin.

　　"Well, how can I put it, humans aren't too bad to griffons, it's illegal to consume griffon meat in human law, so griffons don't have to worry about being hunted, there's a good and a bad thing I guess, it's been going on for hundreds of years now, and the wildness of the griffons has pretty much worn off, they're now in a more subservient relationship with the humans, kind of like the way it is for the major nobility's subordinate races in the orcish race. "

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Are any of the Mythic Rattlers attached to any of the nobles?"

　　With that said, Carlos suddenly asked.

　　"No, the North Plains are so remote, there is not a single noble race here, even if we want to attach ourselves, we don't have a chance, besides, our Mythic Rat Race is not very capable, the nobles don't look at the weaker races like ours, besides, it's not like we have to be attached to the nobles in order to live a better life, there are quite a lot of races amongst the Orc Race that don't attach themselves to the nobles."

　　There were three parts sentimentality, three parts frustration and four parts disdain in Erlangist's words.

　　"It's nice not to have attachments, we're relatively free and don't have to be bossed around by others, the Oro Owl Clan is just a bit more withdrawn in character, that's why they came to the Northern Plains to be our neighbors."

　　Erlangist said.

　　"That said, I haven't had any contact with the Oro Owl Clan in all the time I've been here."

　　Carlos said.

　　"In fact, it is also considered to have contacted, before and Eboue planning to escape together with that kid, he is the Oro Owl clan, or the patriarch Bufex's son, Bufex character is very rigid, but his son is very rebellious, all day long and Eboue thinking of leaving the North Plains, I was also cheated by him, the kid is a ghost wit, this is better than my incompetent grandson to be quite a bit stronger. "

　　Erlangist sighed and shook his head.

　　"It's that teenager called Boudreau isn't it, when I first came to the Northern Plains, he and I chased him through the forest, the kid deliberately didn't use his wings at first, he just jumped around on various tree branches, and when I was close to catching up he opened his wings and flew off, and I kind of let the kid have his way with me."

　　Carlos said with a smile.

　　"Really, there's more to it than that, Boudreau would probably be so excited he couldn't sleep during the day if he knew he had once caught a high-ranking priest-sama!"

　　Eranster said in shock, it was obvious that Eranster was more surprised by this experience of Carlos.

　　"During the day?

　　Sleeping?

　　By the way, the Oro Owl Clan is also in the habit of living by day and night, right?"

　　Carlos was puzzled at first thinking that Eranster had slipped his tongue, and after a little thought it dawned on him.

　　"We're all day and night, which is why the Northern Plains seem extraordinarily desolate during the day."

　　Erlangist echoed.

　　"So the Oro Owl Clan is active now, right, I'll pay a visit."

　　Carlos wanted to talk to this race, races that could fly were very convenient for many things, and had air superiority in combat, it was important to maintain good relations.

　　"Shouldn't be able to right now, just yesterday there was a sudden small beast tide, today that guy Bufex went to hunt in the Sunset Mountain Range with a large group of the Oro Owl Clan, after the beast tide is a good opportunity to hunt, this time of the year the magical beasts are more spread out and better to deal with, they don't cultivate, hunting is the only source of food, and sometimes they will use their prey to trade with us for food. "

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Besides, didn't you say you wanted to trade with the merchant group, the human merchant group should be arriving soon, so let's visit the Oro Owl Clan some other time."

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Well, that's right, this human merchant group is coming from over there, how did you guys make contact before, are you going to pick it up?"

　　Carlos asked.

　　"No, no, no!

　　How could you think such a thing, Priest-sama!

　　The orcs and humans have always had a tense relationship, so how would we pick them up?

　　The human merchant group came looking for it in their wagons after disembarking from the Sea of Watch."

This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

　　Eranster said hastily, and Carlos said it so as to make Eranster feel bad.

　　"Oh, I was just thinking out of politeness that I should have to do a little hostessing, and since I don't need to, I'll just forget it."

　　Carlos followed the advice and changed it when he said he would.

　　"Wait, the Sea of Watch?

　　Isn't that where the Sea Spirits thrive?

　　Where can I disembark?"

　　Carlos asked in disbelief.

　　"Merchant groups that can traverse the sea of course have special Sea God tokens hanging from the bow of their ships, and as they themselves are faithful believers in the Sea God, they will be sheltered by the Sea God, and the Sea Spirit Clan will certainly not harm them."

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Okay, so what are we going to do when they arrive?"

　　Carlos asked, something that Shelia had also told Carlos about, and with a little mention from Ernest Carlos understood.

　　"All we have to do is merely not interfere with the wagons, we basically don't have to do anything, and the leader will bring the food and supplies over."

　　Erlangist said.

　　"That simple?

　　Isn't this a whoring? Humans have always been known for their treachery and cunning, how could they give benefits for nothing, it makes no sense at all!"

　　Carlos himself thought about it from a normal human's point of view, and instantly found it very irrational, any normal human hearing about this would find it very unusual, let alone a businessman doing it!

　　The most famous thing about businessmen can be greed and stinginess, crossing a road and giving things to the ass, how to look at it is not like a businessman will do things ah.

　　Doing business, can't wait for the cost to be as low as possible, and look at Elanstar this way, should have never said anything about the threat of sabotage if you don't pay the toll, why would these businessmen want to do more than they have to?

　　"Did you attack their convoy?"

　　Carlos asked "Never, we rarely take the initiative without being attacked, like fending off a wave of beasts, we're usually on the passive side of the defense, and well the humans have never attacked us either."

　　Erlangist said.

"Even if they are afraid of us attacking, they just need to take advantage of the daytime to pass through quickly, we are all resting during the day, even if they want to attack, they don't have that kind of effort."

　　Ernst has a point.

　　After those words, Carlos instantly dispelled his suspicions about Erlangist.

　　"So why are they like that?

　　How often does this merchant group usually come through here?

　　Do you guys get something every time?"

　　Carlos asked.

　　"It comes about once a month, and it's given every time, and it'll usually be spoken for beforehand, sometimes not, but put will be put in a conspicuous place, it never is."

　　Erlangist said thoughtfully.

　　"So frequent, and so trustworthy, this is not like a businessman, how does this treadmill look like a social welfare organization!"

　　Carlos didn't get it, to look at it that way, this human merchant group was on the verge of being a model of selflessness!

　　"Can I see what they gave me?"

　　Things go wrong Carlos still doesn't believe it and thinks there must be some ulterior motive!

　　"Yes, the food and supplies are in the warehouse, you can look at them whenever you want."

　　Erlangist said with great candor.

　　"Then first, let's go check it out."

　　Carlos said.

　　Arriving at the warehouse, Carlos saw that the Mythic Rattlers had a lot of stuff in their warehouse, mostly food, some assorted materials, iron, woodwork, crystals that looked like decorations, and a few odd things.

　　Carlos do not understand, Carlos asked Elansted, Elansted said he himself do not know, this is all picked up in the North Plains, this is a small hobby of their race, Carlos understand this, the rat race, normal.

　　The Mythic Rat People had placed everything the humans had given them in a separate, specialized pile, so it was clear that they were also a bit wary of the humans, Carlos went up to check it out, the materials were all steel, wood, and looked out of shape.

　　Carlos felt that it should be some of the leftover edges of the project, they themselves keep it is not much use to give these things out, the Mys rat race take on even less useful, but Carlos felt that he was able to waste and utilize, his house is still missing some decorations, refining it is still useful.

　　There was nothing wrong with the grain, and it wasn't any substandard grain sifted down, it was just normal, ordinary grain cereal.

　　"Have you eaten the food they gave you?

　　Ever had a problem eating it?"

　　Carlos asked.

　　"Of course I've eaten it, it feels about the same as our grain, there's no difference, and there's been no problems."

　　Erlangist said.

　　After coming out from the warehouse, Carlos was a bit puzzled, as a human mentality, Carlos really couldn't figure out why this merchant group would do such a seemingly pointless thing, after once experiencing the collusion between humans, Carlos had gotten used to speculating on others with the utmost malice.

　　"Is it hard to believe that I'm really overthinking this time?"

　　Carlos said suspiciously.

　　"We've always been at peace with each other, you really are too cautious and sensitive, Priest-sama."

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Maybe, since it's fine, forget it, I'll take some of those materials of yours, I'll go back first, when that human merchant group comes looking for you, come find me for a bit, I'm going to do some trading with them."

　　Carlos said.

　　"These materials aren't of much use to us, just say if you want them, Lord Priest, and I'll send someone to deliver them to you."

　　Erlangist began to fawn again.

　　"That's fine, I need a bit more, you find some people to carry it for me, I won't take your things for nothing, you take this."

　　Carlos pulled two magic crystals out of his arms and handed them to Eranster.

　　"Hmm?

　　It's a magic crystal?"

　　Erlangist froze and didn't reach for it.

　　"Consider me exchanging these two magic crystals for this pile of materials of yours, take it."

　　Carlos shoved the magic crystal into Eranster's hand.

　　"You're also a magician, you can refill your energy when it runs out, it should work, and you should be able to fill it much faster than me."

　　Carlos said.

　　"Thank you, Priest-sama, for the reward."

　　Eranster bowed his head after putting away the magic crystal.

　　"There's no need to be so formal, this isn't a reward either, it's something I should take out for exchanging this pile of materials with you, just tell me if it's useful or not."

　　Carlos said.

　　"It does work, not only does it store more magical energy, but it can also be set into other items, so it has many uses."

　　Erlangist said.

　　"Just be useful."

　　Carlos said with a nod.

　　Carlos 　　then went back to the house he was staying in first, and Eranster sent two of the rats to help Carlos carry all these edges.

　　Inside the house, Hylia and the others woke up early, they slept from afternoon to evening, and now there seemed to be nothing to do, since coming to the Northern Plains, the original normal routine had been completely disorganized, and they couldn't figure out how to adjust it back in a short period of time.

　　"What are these?"

　　Shelia asked as she looked at these things that Carlos had brought back.

　　"These are the ones I traded back from Elenster."

　　Carlos replied.

　　"What did you trade for it."

　　Avril asked.

　　"I only used two magic crystals for that much!"

　　Carlos looked smug.

　　"Two magic crystals!

　　Just change these?

　　What's wrong with you?

　　Not like you at all!"

　　Shelia said in surprise.

　　"I also think it's too much, one magic crystal should be enough!"

　　Hoffman said with a knowing look.

　　"What yah!

　　These things aren't worth a single piece, they're just some rags!"

　　Avril said with a blank look at Hoffman.

　　"Wait, wait, you guys don't react so loudly, I know the actual value doesn't match, but I think we do need these things now, and these things can't be made by ourselves, this is the raw material, we can turn waste into treasure, what was useless, become useful on the line ah."

　　Carlos said.

　　"That's easy to say, but how do you change it, do you have an idea?"

　　Avril said.

　　"I don't have any good ideas right now, so we can all think together, like what's missing in this house?"

　　Carlos said.

　　"I think a fan is missing, it's a bit hot to sleep now!"

　　Hoffman said.

　　"Then there needs to be an exhaust fan, make an exhaust fan out of these timbers, the interior ventilation needs to be done a bit, windows and exhaust pipes as well, and for the window frames use these iron rods, and this" Carlos searched through the scrap heap that was as good as a garbage heap for an assortment of suitable materials.

　　"It won't all come in handy, these things can come in handy far more than those two magic crystals!"

　　Carlos said.

　　"Indeed, it seems somewhat reasonable."

　　Avril said with a nod.
