Chapter 575: King Sharo’s Advice (1/2)

The farming experiment went smoothly. Zero wasn't sure if those without magic experiences like the cow and goat clans could cope with their intensive training program. Some expert magic users volunteered to teach those with potential without magic experiences. Zero made sure to test these people for the attitude to be a teacher. After all, there was a considerable difference between a good magician and a good magic teacher. Merlin, for instance, was a great magician but not the best teacher.

Food was now settled for the herbivores and omnivores but not the carnivores. Their diet consisted of high meat and protein sources. While they could eat plants, overeating would make them sick. Not to mention, while the fire magic users were helping to speed up the wall repairs by baking mud bricks with their flames, the problem of weapon and armour shortage wasn't resolved.

King Sharo was silent for days now, and Zero didn't know what the elven king was thinking. He didn't cut their telepathy connection, and if King Sharo wanted, he could talk to Zero anytime. The silence was scary, and Zero wondered if he spoke a little too harshly the other day. Alex wanted Zero to help crush that superiority complex and fix King Sharo's inferiority complex. King Charo's poison ran too deeply in King Sharo. Zero didn't know if he would succeed in breaking King Sharo during this trip before he could build him back up. Yet, it was terrifying to think that King Sharo would be so easily broken. The differences between Altear and Lycantopia must be really shocking.

Truen was currently still escorting Jermine's family back to New Moon Village with Monoman. He would stop at Smargdas to investigate Indra Seagloo a little more and wouldn't be back anytime soon. Zero didn't know if his best friend could help when it came to strategic matters. Zero didn't have many reliable people to ask about this sort of issue. He felt that it would be inappropriate to ask advice from other royal families like the giants even if they might be of assistance.

With a heavy sigh, Zero stared blankly at the map. ”They have food but not the right kind, walls but not weapons or armours. Nobody has any shelter. I also can't continue attending to those who are hurt or sick like this. Surely, there is a better way to repair a broken country... Bob, do you think the chancellor of Rocket Mountain will get angry if I asked for advice?”

The Eternal Dragon yawned and snuggled into the front of Zero's shirt. ”Do you have any other choices? Master, I'm a dragon. I don't know human affairs well.”

Zero grumbled a little. ”They're not human, they are werebeasts.”

This time, the staff by the table rattled, and King Sharo spoke up.

”If I help, will you really let me speak with Arvin?”

Zero was startled when the voice echoed in his head, but soon, a huge smile appeared on his face.

”Yes! I'd also do anything within my abilities as the leader of Half Moon Village to assist. If you help Lycantopia, I can let King Gaon know to add a few terms to your advantage. The elves seldom enjoy seafood and salt, right?”

King Sharo didn't need to think too hard. Salt was a big deal in Altear. Everything was very bland tasting because they were far from the sea and on bad terms with the dwarves. If they could build a friendly relationship with Lycantopia near the sea, it would be mutually beneficial.
