After appeasing Rose, it was time to appease the others.


    The first one to speak was Moon.


    She said, "If you''re going to see the dwarves, I''ming with you."


    She didn''t even ask if she coulde, she just stated that she would being without any hesitation. It was as if she was already certain that she would be allowed to go.


    I just looked at her with one brow raised and asked, "Why would you go?"


    Moon calmly said, "We are friends with the dwarves, so there''s nothing wrong with letting me apany you. Not to mention, there is some business that I have with the dwarves."


    I didn''t say anything as I kept looking at her with one brow raised.


    Moon kept calm under this gaze at first, but in the end, she said, "We have need for mithril for a certain thing. If you''re going, it''s easier if we go with you."


    I still stared at her with one brow raised, but in the end her expression didn''t change.


    It seemed that she wouldn''t be telling me anything more.


    But I didn''t mind since this was already more than enough information.


    Since the elves had a friendly rtionship with the dwarves, that was a good thing. If I showed that I was even friends with the elves, then it would be easier for me to negotiate with the dwarves.


    After all, the friend of a friend was also a friend.


    Not to mention that I was friends with both sides to begin with.


    So this would all help me when it came to negotiating with the dwarves.


    I gave a simple nod and said, "Alright, you cane."


    Moon revealed a happy smile when she heard this before sitting back down to enjoy her tea.


    To the side, Veronica''s expression changed several times, but she remained silent in the end.


    It was clear that there was something that she wanted to say, but Ipletely ignored her since I didn''t want to deal with her.


    But there was one group that I couldn''t ignore…


    I could clearly see the looks that Scar was shooting at me, so I had no choice but to say with a sigh…


    "I''ll be heading to my office for a bit with Scar and Shaka, we''ll be back soon."


    Rose just gave a calm nod before turning to entertain Veronica.


    Haley had also gotten the hint and she moved over to Veronica as well.


    Veronica had wanted to stand up and follow us, but she was stopped by both Rose and Haley.


    The three of us left the living room and came to a small office.


    This was technically my office, but I rarely used this since most of the paperwork and ruling of this territory was taken care of by Rose. Not to mention, most of the time, I was either traveling or doing something else.


    In the end, I wasn''t someone that was suited for paperwork, so this office really was a waste for me.


    But it made a good ce to have private conversations, which was what I was using it for now.


    As soon as we were seated in the office, Scar pped down on the table and said, "Dwarves now? First it was elves and now you''re bringing in dwarves?"


    I gave a shrug before saying, "It wasn''t me that went looking for them, you should at least know that. You can''t me me if theye looking for me."


    Scar narrowed his eyes to look at me, but he sat back in his seat and gave a sigh in the end before saying, "Fine, you''re right about that."


    But then he narrowed his eyes to look at me again as he said, "But you do understand what kind of a stir this will cause right? After all, we''re talking about mithril! Mithril!"


    It was so important that he had to repeat it twice.


    I had already received a lecture from Haley about the importance of mithril and I had seen how she had acted when she received that small piece of mithril, so it was impossible for me not to know this.


    In the game, the situation with mithril wasn''t that bad since there were still methods of getting it.


    However, it seemed that this was only in the game.


    Those were most likely special loopholes that had been made just so that yers could have ess to mithril items.


    But in reality, the lore of the game stated that mithril was very rare in human countries.


    Still, I couldn''t help being surprised by how shocked everyone was.


    After all, in the game, mithril was still only mid tier.


    It wasn''t as if it was anything that special, so I didn''t feel that emotional about it.


    Seeing the look on my face, Scar said, "This monster, he has nomon sense at all."


    I really couldn''t help taking offense at that. I really felt that mymon sense had improved sincest time, but now he was saying that I had nomon sense.


    I had no choice but toin, but Scar didn''t give me that chance.


    He suddenly looked at me with a serious look and said, "What are you nning to do about this? You should know that this is much more serious than a rtionship with the elves. If you really are able to create a trade route with the dwarves for mithril, this will be much more earth shattering than you can imagine. When the timees, the nobles won''t stop their plots against you to get to this mithril."


    I was about to ask something, but he shut me down right away by saying, "Shadow Garden won''t be able to protect you at that time. There might even be people from Shadow Garden that will move against you."


    "Eh?" That was all I could say in response to this.


    It seemed…that I had really underestimated the situation.


    Scar just looked at me and said, "So what are you nning on doing?"
