Global Lords: Hundredfold Increments Starting With the Undead

Chapter 1189: Chapter 785, Jade Cold Harbor

Fang Hao looked at Cyclops and could confirm he wasn’t making this up.

To his surprise, the person Anjia had found was quite reliable and recognized the destination right away.

At that moment, the door was knocked on again.

A beautiful elf waitress, carrying food, walked in.

While she introduced the names of the dishes, she placed them on the table.

“Order another serving, and once it’s ready, send it directly to ship number 06 at the harbor, to someone from the Sea Tribe named Beiyehu,” Fang Hao instructed.

The elf waitress wrote down the name on a piece of paper and nodded, “Okay, sir.”

After the waitress had left again, Fang Hao continued to look at Cyclops and asked, “You mentioned the ‘Thorn Tooth Forest.’ Is there anything special about it? Tell us.”

Cyclops glanced at Fang Hao, then at the two women, and at Demitrija in golden armor.

Having been in this industry, Cyclops also had developed a sharp eye.

From the young man’s attire, it was evident he came from a good background.

What surprised him most were the two women accompanying him, whose looks were top-tier even among the Elf Clan.

It was clear this was some wealthy young master out for a jaunt.

“Sir, if you’re looking to venture, I recommend the ‘Spirit Wing Field’ to the east. The environment there is nice, and there are many beautiful birds. With some luck, you might even see a White Phoenix,” Cyclops, drawing on his experience, gave some recommendations.

Fang Hao nodded, but still said, “Hmm, first tell me about the ‘Thorn Tooth Forest,’ then we’ll consider whether to go or not.”

“Oh, okay!” Cyclops moved a stool closer and began, “This ‘Thorn Tooth Forest’ is a very dense forest, located in a remote terrain. It’s full of fierce and wild beasts, the paths are not easy to traverse, and it’s dangerous, not suitable for sightseeing.”

“Fierce and wild beasts? How formidable are they?”

“I don’t know how formidable they are, but the nearby city had planned to clear them out previously, and many were killed or injured. Later, as there were no significant places nearby and it was remote, people just let it be,” Cyclops continued.

It seemed Cyclops couldn’t provide any concrete information.

It made sense, if the details of this place were public, then it wouldn’t be Fang Hao’s turn to explore it using a map.

“I want to go to this ‘Thorn Tooth Forest,’ and quickly. Do you have any suggestions?” Fang Hao continued.

“Really going? Honestly, that kind of place really isn’t suitable for people of your status,” Cyclops said.

“Just tell us, we’ll consider whether or not to go.”

Cyclops nodded, stroking his chin in thought.

He kept muttering, “You people from other lands need to undergo checks all along the way, it’s difficult to get through, and the journey is somewhat long…”

After musing for a while, during which Anjia had finished eating two cakes, Cyclops finally slapped his forehead and said, “Ah, I have an idea, but whether it works depends ultimately on your own connections.”

“Okay, let’s hear it.”

“At Central Plaza, the Morning Light Commerce is publicly recruiting escort personnel. Their destination is a city close to the ‘Thorn Tooth Forest.’ If you have the merchant caravan’s certification, you won’t need any travel permits along the way, and they’re departing tomorrow,” Cyclops provided a solution.

The elf territory was somewhat different from the Federation.

You couldn’t just go anywhere.

Wherever you went, you had to register in advance, for instance, if you disembarked at ‘Fidel Harbor,’ you needed to report here.

Going to another city required registration as well.

“Morning Light Commerce? What are the recruitment standards?”

“I heard that recently, Morning Light Commerce lost many people. Now, they mainly recruit mercenaries, and they require at least a seventh or eighth rank,” Cyclops continued.

Fang Hao nodded, not having anything more to ask.

“Alright, then how much do I need to pay you for this?”

“Sir, the information you asked for isn’t that critical. Two Gold Coins will be enough.”

Gathering information required two Gold Coins, which was actually not cheap.

But Fang Hao didn’t care about the money. He took out ten Warfire Coins and placed them on the table, “This is for you; remember to keep it confidential.”

Cyclops’s expression immediately brightened, and he hurried to collect them, saying, “Rest assured, sir, I know the rules. Even if others offer much more, I won’t reveal anything about you.”

“Alright, you can leave now.”

“Okay, sir, I wish you a pleasant journey.” Cyclops smiled obsequiously and then left the private room.

After the door closed.

Anjia continued, “Are we going to follow the commerce group? Riding a Bone Dragon is much faster!”

“This place isn’t like ours; it’s better to be cautious,” Fang Hao said.

He certainly didn’t want to deal with the Dragon Clan’s issues unresolved and then start trouble with the elves here.

Otherwise, he really would be courting death.

“What’s there to worry about? I still want to ride those two Dark Gold Dragons,” Anjia continued.

Mentioning those two Dark Gold Dragons, Fang Hao completely lost his appetite.

That Hydra collar was meant to monitor the dragons’ thoughts, administering punishment for any malicious intents.

Yet, these two’s thoughts of revenge had never ceased.

The place where they were confined always echoed with the sound of serrated gears.

Scales and flesh were flying everywhere.

Fang Hao was speechless, they really held grudges.

Watching it all, he even began to feel a bit remorseful.

“Let’s not talk about it anymore; we’ll go check out the commerce group after we eat,” Rolana said from the side.

“Alright,” Anjia nodded, and resumed eating.

…

After leaving the tavern, they followed the crowd and arrived at the square.

A sizable group had gathered, making quite a ruckus.

Filled with excitement, Anjia pulled Fang Hao forward through the crowd.

Ding, ding, ding!

Three clear sounds quieted the surroundings a bit.

A person holding a bronze tube gently tapped it and then loudly said, “Morning Light Commerce is openly recruiting escort guards, whether individual or mercenary groups, as long as they meet the requirements and reach the destination, each person will receive a minimum of fifty Warfire Coins.”

Anjia, pulling Fang Hao forward, made their way to the front.

A high platform had been set up at the front.

It was divided into two sections, facing the crowd was a wooden table, behind which sat a middle-aged elf.

He was registering people.

After registration, they went to the center of the stage to spar with an elf warrior for a few moves.

Passing the test met the recruitment conditions, then they returned to the middle-aged elf to pick up a certification; failing meant immediate elimination.

Fang Hao and his group watched for a while, then approached the middle-aged elf’s location.

Glancing up, there were categories for both mercenaries and individuals, and Fang Hao said, “We are a mercenary group.”

The middle-aged elf looked at him, “How many people?”

“Four.”

“For the mercenary group, one person who can last five minutes on the platform is considered to have passed,” the middle-aged man said.

Fang Hao glanced at the Elf Warrior testing the combatants on the stage.

[Silver Armored Swordsman – Bartley (Blue Tier-5)].

On the platform, a trial was already underway.

A young elf was in mid-battle with the Silver Armored Swordsman.

The young elf was merely a Tier-6 swordsman, not yet a hero.

Within a few moves, the young elf was overpowered by the “Silver Armored Swordsman”.

The Silver Armored Swordsman whipped his longsword across the young elf’s body like an iron whip, causing the latter to scream in agony.

The exposed skin also showed streaks of purple bruises.

Eventually, the young elf was kicked off the platform by the Silver Armored Swordsman, covered in bruises and vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

The crowd immediately erupted in a noisy outcry.

Such a harsh treatment for a trial.

The Silver Armored Swordsman sneered, “Combat inevitably brings injuries. If you’re not at a certain level, don’t come forward and spare yourself the pain… next.”

“Anjia, it’s your turn.”

Anjia nodded, having already found the man’s arrogance irksome.

Hearing Fang Hao’s words, she walked straight to the center.

The Silver Armored Swordsman frowned, “Swords are blind, little girl you better step down to avoid getting hurt.”

Hands on her hips, Anjia stood in the center, “Save your breath, I saw you bullying others pretty fiercely, today I’ll teach you a lesson.”

“Hmph!” The Silver Armored Swordsman snorted coldly and charged forward with his sword.

Swordsmen’s moves are usually fast.

In a blink, he was already in front of her, his first strike aimed at Anjia’s throat.

Everyone gasped.

The sword swung urgently and swiftly, and if it hit, her head would be gone.

Just when everyone was shocked by the strike, believing the bunny-eared young girl would bleed,

Bang!

A dull sound echoed.

The girl’s kick, coming a fraction later, landed squarely on his stomach.

The Silver Armored Swordsman staggered back several steps.

Just as he steadied himself, he saw a figure had already closed in on him.

In close combat, Anjia never lost to anyone.

Bang Bang Bang!!

Her punches and kicks fell like shadows, unceasingly pummeling the Swordsman.

Now it was the Silver Armored Swordsman who was floundering, unable to defend against the barrage and was directly kicked off the platform.

“Good, well done!”

“He deserved a taste of his own medicine.”

With a few moves, Anjia defeated the Silver Armored Swordsman, and cheers instantly rose from the crowd.

Many who had failed the trial but were left bruised and battered loudly celebrated.

Hearing the cheers, Anjia’s face lit up with excitement, and she even ran to the edge of the platform to fist-bump the crowd,

making it look like a scene from a major fan event.

“Alright, you all passed, are all four people of this strength?” asked the middle-aged elf recording the proceedings.

“Yes, more or less.” Fang Hao responded.

“Each person 500 Warfire Coins, and after that the mercenary group receives an additional 300 Warfire Coins, any problems?”

Fang Hao, not really here for the money, nodded, “No problem.”

“What’s the name of your mercenary group?”

“Bone Mercenary Group.”

The middle-aged elf quickly wrote down the name on a sign and handed it over, “Meet at the south gate tomorrow morning, don’t be late.”

“Alright, got it.”

Fang Hao nodded, secured the sign, and turned to leave.

…

Returning to the port.

Beiyehu had already arranged for men to load supplies onto the sea ship.

These goods were to be transported back to the giant ship to sustain the lives of the people there.

Previously, there hadn’t been much, but now there were many more from the Dragon Clan.

Low-tier Pseudo-Dragons and Winged Dragons could hunt for themselves, but Dragon heroes and dragons in captivity still needed food and water.

This was a significant expense.

While on the ship, Fang Hao could still trade and resupply these goods.

Now about to depart, he had to make sure everything was prepared.

“You can head back first, contact me with the Sound-transmitting Shell if there’s any issue,” Fang Hao instructed.

Beiyehu nodded, “Understood, my lord. Take care as well.”

“Sure.”

Under watchful eyes, the sea ship slowly left the port and headed back to the giant ship.

Fang Hao and the others booked two rooms in a tavern and settled down.

…

Inside an opulently decorated and elegant room.

A middle-aged elf from the Daylight Trade Association cautiously entered after knocking gently on the door.

He spoke, “Young master, the guards’ recruitment is almost done, we can set out tomorrow morning.”

In the room sat a young man appearing to be in his twenties.

Dressed in a luxurious purple robe adorned with patterns of scrolls, feathers, and flowers, he exuded elegance with every move.

With his teal blue eyes, he looked at the incoming middle-aged man and asked, “Are there any special people?”

“There’s a mercenary group, seems to be foreigners who just arrived.”

“Foreigners?”

“Yes, formed by humans, orcs, and lizardmen.”

“Do you suspect they were sent by those people?” the elegant elf continued.

The middle-aged elf pondered for a moment and said, “It doesn’t seem like it, but they also don’t seem like they’re short of money and here just to act as guards.”

“Right, place them at the back of the group tomorrow, just be cautious.”

“Yes, young master.”
