Chapter 1704: Chapter 1265: Unexpectedly Entrusting an Orphan

The moment Dagonsas and Diakos, who had never seen a Little Tree Man before, laid eyes on it, their eyes widened in disbelief. Even a fool would realize something upon witnessing this: “Is this the Little Tree God? The Tree God’s child? Are you people from the… Crown Prince?”

Anthony shook his head and said, “Don’t speculate blindly. Bring over your White Crystal.”

Dagonsas quickly revealed the White Crystal; regardless of whether they were people of the Crown Prince, they were related to the Tree God. Who would have thought he could establish a connection with the Tree God?

Ange took the White Crystal, clasped it firmly twice, then released the imprint.

On the other side, Anthony said to Diakos, “We will let Silver Coin personally discuss your situation with you.”

Discuss? Discuss what? Diakos blinked in confusion, but quickly grasped the significance, reverently bowed, and said, “I understand, President. I am willing to offer everything to my Lord, please inscribe the imprint upon me, Master.”

Smart indeed, Anthony mentally gave it a thumbs up. Worthy of being trained by Silver Coin, its reaction was swift, saving him from various hints. Having seen the Little Tree Man, Diakos obviously couldn’t be allowed to wander out of control.

Though it had a relationship with Silver Coin, it was merely a matter of faith, lacking any binding force. A more direct soul or consciousness link needs to be established.

Do not test loyalty because this world has too many ways to manipulate thoughts, and many people cannot decide whether they are loyal.

Despite Diakos being savvy, Anthony nonetheless called Silver Coin over. Here lies a vast new market, and how could a cunning merchant not come to develop it?

After Silver Coin’s projection appeared, he and Diakos exchanged glances for a moment before scratching his head and asking, “Why didn’t you say you are a Divine Star Descendant?”

“You didn’t ask, sir,” Diakos replied.

Anthony puzzled, “What do you mean? Haven’t you met?”

Silver Coin and Diakos shook their heads simultaneously: “No.”

“And you’ve been communicating only through prayers?” Negris asked in bewilderment.

Isn’t this just like Big Cat, tossing statues of the Evil God everywhere and trading with others? If it weren’t for Ange, who knows when he’d have been rescued?

Silver Coin said, “If there’s a strong intention to trade, I, as the God of Business, can hear it and teach them the art of trading, so it doesn’t matter what species they are. Diakos is the most talented merchant I’ve come across. I knew it might not be human but didn’t expect it to be a Divine Star Descendant, and I only learned this term just now.”

“Wow, you’re really casting a wide net. Aren’t you afraid that you’ll teach them, and they’ll turn around to cheat you?” Negris asked.

Silver Coin blinked in bewilderment, innocently saying, “Once they learn, they’ll become merchants. Merchants are the easiest to deal with—profit is the key. Initially, my trade routes couldn’t reach there, but with merchants, I have trading partners, which becomes an extension of my trade route.”

“But… but…” Negris struggled to express.

Anthony guessed what it was trying to say and added, “Lord Nage means that by teaching them, aren’t you afraid they’ll turn around and take over your market and monopolize your trade route?”

Negris nodded quickly, “Yes, yes, that’s what I mean.”

“Haha,” Silver Coin said indifferently, “Though I’m not worried that they could reverse-engineer my trade route, if they dare do so, it would be a trade war. I could then employ all measures like adding tariffs, locking quotas, trade sanctions, restricting exports, exclusive agreements, and trade alliances. They can start the trade war, but how it ends is beyond their control.”

Despite Silver Coin’s mellow tone, it exudes an ominous vibe.

Diakos trembled with fright, realizing that Lord Silver Coin wasn’t only the amiable figure when teaching trading skills.

With Silver Coin present, communication with Diakos became much smoother. They conveyed the entire situation succinctly, often guessing the meaning from half-spoken sentences.

Just as they finished their communication and began studying their advantages to draft a business plan, the Little Tree Man, half-buried within the Divine Tree’s veins, crawled back out.

The Little Tree Man hurriedly ran to Ange, offering a small, green object the size of a fingertip. Though its texture was unknown, it emitted pure Life Force.

Ange received it in puzzlement and looked towards the Little Tree Man.

Yet the Little Tree Man had no intention of explaining. After giving it, he ran to Luther, climbed up with hands and feet, pushed aside the Little Fireman, and covered Luther’s head himself.

Why do all these Tree People like covering others’ heads?

The displaced Little Fireman didn’t mind. He melded with the Little Tree Man, enveloping it, and continued to cover Luther’s head.

From the outside, it appeared as though Luther wore a nondescript lava hat, with no trace of the Little Tree Man visible.

Ange glanced at the green object a few more times but couldn’t discern anything, so he casually pocketed it without further inquiry.

This made Negris anxious. It flew over and asked, “What is this thing? What’s it for?”

Ange tilted his head and ignored it.

Negris had no choice but to fly to Luther’s side: “Nagustai, what did you give Ange?”

Yaya—Yaya—the Little Tree Man, covered by the Little Fireman, replied in a muffled voice.

“Life Essence? Is the Life Essence of the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms like this? It doesn’t seem right. The old tree’s Life Essence isn’t like this. What’s the use?” Negris asked.

The Little Tree Man yadequately responded, but Negris still couldn’t comprehend its meaning, making Little Fat Dragon frustrated. While it knew a thing possessing pure Life Force, it didn’t know how to use it.

Annoyed, it flew back to Ange asking, “How do you use it? How do you use this thing? Can you understand it? Did it say what’s it for?”

Ange scratched his head and said, “Give it to Seedling, it’ll know how to use it.”

“Oh, no wonder you’re not worried,” Negris suddenly understood.

No wonder Ange wasn’t worried. This thing isn’t meant for him but for the Little Sapling. Naturally, only another Tree of Ten Thousand Realms could use something from the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms.

“Are you okay with just giving it to you?” Negris asked puzzledly.

Ange said, “If it dies, I’m to support it.”

As he mentioned the second “it,” Ange pointed at the Little Fireman.

“What?! This is… a posthumous arrangement? You two discussed this? This is way too casual, isn’t it?” Negris nearly coughed up blood, originally thinking it was merely a greeting gift—who knew it was actually entrusting a legacy?
