My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 567 - 505: What on earth have you done behind my back? (Long - )

"Logically speaking," the trade with Green Shadow was very successful, both parties got what they needed. As far as intelligence goes, Town West City understood the once Royal Capital, including the top power of the Sacrificial Officers in the Royal Court, the masters within the Royal Family, and many other secrets. Even the best intelligence agents might not be privy to these...

The Iron Blood Duke Mansion, itself of a high enough level, was the only one qualified to know some of the Royal Capital’s secrets.

But just some.

And Zabol understood the current Royal Capital. Integrating intelligence from both sides, much information could be compared, allowing for the deduction of even more intelligence.

Just as initially planned, everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Recently, Town West City had also been rebuilding an army, ready to explore the outside world along with Green Shadow.

It’s just that you, Green Shadow, after setting up a base in our territory, have almost completely opened it to the public, as if... as if you were spreading warmth.

What’s the plan?

Housekeeper Henry still didn’t get it.

However, information collected privately showed that many local residents held Green Shadow base in high regard. Awakeners coming and going all wore smiles, and some with flushed faces kept shouting "I’ve made a fortune, made a fortune."

It seemed only beneficial for Town West City.

Two days later, Housekeeper Henry and the Iron Blood Duke More, dressed in disguises, brought attendants to the Green Shadow base.

Oh, that’s not right, it’s the Green Shadow Commercial Plaza.

Before they even approached, they saw the words "Green Shadow Commercial Plaza" glowing brightly from afar, and music, both stirring and gentle, reached their ears.

They didn’t understand, but the beautiful melodies were very soothing.

"My lord, where would you like to go first for a look?" More thought for a moment and asked, "We’ve come in disguise, we won’t be recognized, will we?" He was not without the intention of exploring privately, but it would be embarrassing to be discovered.

"Rest assured, my lord. As I know, there’s only one Transcendent stationed at the... oh, at the commercial plaza, in the CEO’s office on the top floor of that building." Housekeeper Henry subtly adjusted his neatly arranged garments, continuing, "In our recent interactions, Green Shadow has displayed profound and unfathomable strength. Merely among the Transcendents, ten have appeared, all with deep cultivation... Yet Green Shadow’s layout must also be significant, with most Transcendents committed to their tasks."

Duke More finally decided to take a look at the Trading House first.

Though called a Trading House, it was actually a series of shops connected together, most of them owned by Green Shadow, selling rune equipment, daily necessities, food, and even handicrafts.

The shops were surrounded by many customers, bustling with people coming and going, and even stimulated local commodity trading. In the free-trade area established in Green Shadow Commercial Plaza, there were already many vendors yelling out their goods and answering inquiries.

"This ’Red Sun’ laundry detergent is really good. I poured some on and the clothes became clean instantly!"

"What made the deepest impression on me is the spicy snack sticks. They are quite intense in flavor, even if the name’s a bit of a tongue twister."

"Speaking of delicious cuisine, one must mention the Spices Mix. That’s the seasoning. Tomorrow at noon, my culinary store will open at shop number 76 in the Commercial Plaza. I will be the head chef, using Green Shadow’s seasoning to cook the special cuisine of Town West City, striving to create a positive image of this wonderful cooperation between the two parties, excelling in both cooking and martial arts, and I hope everyone will pay attention."

Duke More, visiting the Trading House for the first time, opened his mouth in confusion.

What are they talking about? I recognize every word, but why can’t I understand when they’re strung together?

Am I out of touch with the times??

The busiest places were still the several purchasing booths within the Trading House, where residents of Town West City formed long queues, continually bringing their own items for appraisal. Some left disappointed, while others shouted in surprise "I’ve made a fortune, made a fortune!" and rushed into the nearby shops with their newly acquired Crystal Tickets (a general equivalent made from Source Crystals).

"???"

Duke More was even more puzzled and turned to look at the housekeeper.

Housekeeper Henry cleared his throat, "My lord, these goods in the Trading House are all on the trade list between Green Shadow and us. We have stock in the warehouse, so perhaps we should visit other places."

He pointed to a high-end and luxurious "Star Level Restaurant" in the distance, "The chef there is quite skilled and has many Green Shadow’s special dishes. It’s worth trying."

...

The restaurant was decorated in Earth style, with elegant and slow music, and soft-colored lighting. More quietly marveled.

Led by attendants wearing cat ears and maid dresses, the two entered a private room.

Apart from the manager and the head chef, the other restaurant staff were recruited from the local residents of Town West City. They adapted very quickly or rather, from a large enough base, it was always easy to find suitable "talent."

Allowing all customers to feel at home.

The menu was a thick book. More flipped through it lightly; it was full of a diverse range of dishes, all very high-end and posh.

For example, the dish "Dragon Travels the Four Seas," which used Awakening Eighth Layer Green Blooded Giant Lobster as the main ingredient, paired with the rare food "Purple Fennel." It was not only delicious and refreshing but also greatly beneficial for cultivation.

The menu pictures were even animated. More seemed to see a majestic and proud giant lobster leaping from the seabed, and then... becoming an ingredient on the table.

The prices were also very expensive, at 3,888 Source Crystals (or equivalent Crystal Tickets), making him understand why there were so few customers in the "Star Level Restaurant."
