Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 1939
1939 Iron Hammer Federation’s Change of Hands!
Su Han hurriedly replied, “Young Master Chu, I will send someone to keep watch. It should be easy to find such people around Sacred Forest City.”
Su Han was slightly confused.
Sky Creation had already established collaborations with many of the factions in Sacred Forest City.
Many families had already guessed that there could be a Class 5 Creation Master in Sky Creation.
!!
Sky Creation’s might had spread far and wide across the entire Sacred Forest City.
If Sky Creation announced that they needed cleaners, even emperor-class experts would be tripping over each other as they fought to sign up.
Why did Sky Creation need spirit qi professionals who had comprehended several Willpower Runes but had not contracted feys? It would require a mountain of resources to nurture each and every one of them! This was why the factions had not recruited these spirit qi professionals in Sacred Forest City in spite of their clear talent.
Could it be that Sky Creation had the spare resources to nurture such spirit qi professionals?
While Su Han activated the entire Su family to search for such spirit qi professionals in Sacred Forest City, the 14 Love Music Centers throughout the Startling Lines Continent had also put out the same news that they were recruiting cleaners.
…
In Sacred Forest City of the Divine Wood Federation, a state of serenity blanketed the city. Everyone lived a peaceful and routine life.
A carriage covered in gems clattered through Sacred Forest City’s streets.
The person in the carriage looked out with a haughty expression.
This was a completely different type of opulence exhibited in Sacred Forest City.
Many people dressed lavishly in the Freezing Hammer Tribe of the Iron Hammer Federation had concern written on their faces.
A woman was holding the hand of a young man as she bought charcoal-fired flatbread from a street stall.
“Hello, the flatbread only cost three federation dollars per piece two months ago. Why does it cost 20 federation dollars now?”
The street stall owner was a man with simple features wearing a black fur cloak covered with oil stains.
“Madam, I have been selling charcoal-fired flatbread for almost 20 years here. You are one of my regular customers. The price inflates every winter, but you know what happened this year too. You should count yourself lucky that there are still stalls selling charcoal-fired flatbread now. I might need to raise the price again a while later. I will be closing down the stall once winter sets in, and I’ve made enough flatbread to feed my family. How many stalls do you see on the street now? So, 20 federation dollars for one flatbread is very reasonable!”
The woman took out federation dollars from her pocket and handed them to the stall owner as she said, “I have a total of 6,000 federation dollars here. I will be buying 300 flatbreads.”
The stall owner hurriedly reached out his hand and replied, “I kept the stall open for regular customers like you to take care of all of them! Each customer can only buy 50 flatbreads at most. Not one more.”
This sight was common in the Freezing Hammer Tribe.
The Freezing Hammer Tribe was the largest tribe in the Iron Hammer Federation. The Iron Hammer Federation’s imperial court was situated in the Freezing Hammer Tribe.
If food in the Freezing Hammer Tribe was so scarce, the small tribes had a rougher time.
Most of the tribes in the Iron Hammer Federation experienced winter all year round, just like the Freezing Hammer Tribe. But during the winter season, the temperature dropped even more precipitously, and it was normal for the temperature to reach -50 to -60 degrees.
The Iron Hammer Federation was going to have a hard time during winter this year!
There was something more agonizing than the winter itself—missing loved ones.
The Divine Wood Federation placed a premium on the performing arts, while martial prowess was the meter of respect in the Iron Hammer Federation.
The bandit groups in the Divine Wood Federation were mostly spirit qi professionals from Creation Master families. Even if the bandit groups were destroyed, it would not be a significant loss to the families.
However, the bandit groups from the Iron Hammer Federation were mostly made of strong and young experts.
The Great Lush Federation’s merchant groups were acting strangely and had killed over 1,000,000 bandit groups in the past two months.
The Iron Hammer Federation was in great need of food and water but could not trade with the Divine Wood Federation.
Hence, the Iron Hammer Federation sent most of the bandit groups.
This winter, many wives were going to shiver in the cold and bear the pain of missing their spouses while taking care of their families alone.
The young man beside this woman started to cry as he looked at the barrel of wine next to the stall.
In the past, he hauled a bottle of wine back for his father whenever he went out shopping with his mother. But this time, his father was not there to drink it.
As a gust of wind blew past, even the people dressed lavishly on the street pulled their cloaks tighter around themselves.
The people who came from large tribes and lived under the shade of the imperial court knew that the previous king had just died and the new king was in the midst of ascending to the throne.
However, the person ascending was not the oldest princess but the previous king’s nephew.
The imperial king’s guards had already been recalled a few days ago.
It was likely that the first princess had fled the Freezing Hammer Tribe.
The new king did not have time to spend on managing the Iron Hammer Federation.
It was likely that the recalled guards would be sent out again very soon to search for the first princess. There was no way that the new king would allow the rightful heir to the throne to continue living freely.
There was a temple 270 kilometers outside of the Freezing Hammer Tribe.
A towering snow-capped mountain was at the center of the Iron Hammer Federation. It was rumored that there was a legendary snow beast on the mountain.
Once the snow beast acknowledged the king of the Iron Hammer Federation, it brought prosperity and peace to the Iron Hammer Federation. It was an assurance that every citizen of the Iron Hammer Federation would not have to go hungry.
However, none of the previous kings of the Iron Hammer Federation had achieved this.
The temple outside of the Iron Hammer Federation had been built as a place to pray that the snow beast would acknowledge the king of the Iron Hammer Federation.
The carvings of innumerable beast patterns on the gem-covered stone pillar within the temple were illuminated by the setting sun’s light.
Luo Lan felt both agony and derision.
She should have ascended to the throne and made the trip to the top of the snow-capped mountain to try and gain an audience with the snow beast.
But when she had been out training, she received word that her father had died.
If not for the old supporters that her father had within the imperial court who warned her of what had happened when she returned to the Freezing Hammer Tribe and allowed her to flee her death, she would not have made it to the temple.
But on the trip here, she had watched all of her father’s old supporters and their feys killed as they escorted her to the temple.
Luo Lan was so mired in anguish that her spirit almost broke.
Her legs had been seriously injured, and it required an immense effort to fight against the pain each time she tried to take a step.
The only people left by her side were a female attendant and an elderly man.
