Chapter 97
While they were waiting inside, suddenly a soldier comes inside. It bows to them respectfully before reporting.
"Your Majesty, there are a merchant on the outside."
"Ohh, that's right... The merchant will come every fifteenth of the month." Fendrel said, he continued. "Let them in."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The soldier then left the barracks.
Fendrel shifted his gaze to Romarod before saying. "Romarod, you stay here and watch over him."
"As you wish, Your Majesty." Romarod said.
"Franco, you don't need to stay here, Romarod is enough. You still have many things to do." He said to Franco.
"I will excuse myself then, Your Majesty." He bowed to the three respectfully, before exiting the barracks.
"We also need to go, Lavender, we still need to prepare the goods..." Fendrel then shifted his gaze to Romarod. "If he will regain consciousness, just ask the soldiers outside to let me know..."
"As you wish, Your Majesty."
After saying goodbye to Romarod, the two exited the barracks.

"Hello Lord Fendrel, I am Nelly a merchant from the Russo Family. Sir Adrian can't come, so I will be the one trading with Lord Fendrel." Nelly said respectfully, however, the disdain in his eyes was clear to see.
The merchant has a group of five people, accompanying him, one Tier 2 and four Tier 1. So he was confident they can make it out of here alive if everything goes south. That's why he didn't hide the disdain in his eyes. He didn't want to ventures into this cursed forest, however, since it's the family head that ordered him, he can't say no.
The reason he was respectful, because, he still needs to act benefiting for a merchant, they are still a customer after all.
Of course, Fendrel saw the disdain in the merchant's eyes. However, he didn't mind it. "Ohh... Then welcome to my small village... Please come with me, I will take you to the place where the goods are."
'What a weirdo' Nelly can't help but think. It's her first time seeing such a calm monster, and act this way.
He didn't think about it too much and followed Fendrel.
While they were walking, the Tier 2 person in the merchant's group. Suddenly, whispered at him.
"Nelly, I know you hate the monsters. However, please refrain yourself from doing something stupid." The Tier 2 person warns him sternly.
Although he was being called stupid, he didn't get angry and just asked with puzzlement. "Why is that, Sir Calo?" He asked in a respectful tone, this time it was not fake, but a genuine admiration.
Calo was one of the strongest guards of the Russo household, he can defeat two Tier 2 adventurers on his own. On the normal circumstance, the Russo won't make Calo venture into the forest. Since he was usually protecting the household, however, this time the family let Calo accompany him, because of some unfortunate events that happened these past few days.
"Even if I explain it to you, you won't still get it. Just do what I say." Calo said coldly.
"Yes, Sir Carlo!" Nelly said immediately, seeing the annoyed face Calo.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the storehouse. All the goods were already outside, ready to trade. Nelly can't help but nod his head, satisfied with the item.
"Then, I will start pricing all the items here, Lord Fendrel" Nelly said, this time he was not looking at Fendrel with a disdainful gaze. Seeing it Fendrel can't help but wonder what happened.
"Wait..." Fendrel stopped him, Nelly felt annoyed. However, he didn't do anything and stopped. That cold tone of Calo still chillin in his ear.
Fendrel shifted his to the female goblin on his side and spoke. "Vrasa, go and help him."
"Lord Fendrel, I'm not trying to be disrespectful here... But what I'm about to do, is not what a lowly goblin can do to help me." Nelly said in a little annoyed tone.
"Don't worry, Vrasa already study all the plants and their prices, with the book that was given by Adrian. So, you don't have to worry." Fendrel said calmly, not minding Nelly's tone.
There were only two Tier 2 Knights and Vrasa with him, he didn't take all of his captains with him. Since they were already Tier 2, he doesn't want to scare this group of humans and get unnecessary attention from the humans outside.
"Then, let us see Lord Fendrel." Nelly said in a mocking tone.
As for Calo, he was also surprised. He looked at the female goblin, then at Fendrel with an incredulous expression.
Seeing their expression Fendrel can't help but laugh inside. 'Behold lowly being, my mathematical is more advance than your crappy knowledge about numbers. Hahahah' Fendrel thought.
However, his face didn't change on the outside. Fendrel already implemented some of the knowledge of earth in his school. Although he was not some kind of genius, he still has some fundamental knowledge as a human being.
