Chapter 1039: Childhood friend
n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Once the matter had been settled, it seemed like everyone lost interest in us.
Though there were still a few people that looked over with interested looks, that was because we were a group of humans in a giant market. The others seemed to lose interest since they didn't think that we had anything valuable that they would want.
Though there was one group that seemed like they were still interested in us.
After Dorian and the Korin Tribe group left, Isra led her group over.
When she came over, Alidus looked at her with a smile as he said, "Thank you for your help."
Isra just waved her hand with a smile of her own as she said, "It's fine, we're childhood friends after all. We should help each other when we can." Though she said this, the smile slowly disappeared from her face as she slowly said, "Though it's the same with him..."
At the end of her words, she let out a sigh that seemed to be filled with emotion.
Hearing this, Alidus also let out a sigh.
It was almost as if he was related to whatever she was talking about.
It seemed that the relationship between the three of them wasn't as simple as it seemed on the surface. It seemed that there was a deeper relationship between the three of them that I didn't know about.
Though it wasn't really my place to ask about this since I was an outsider.
So I just waited for the two of them to finish the moment between them.
But while I was waiting for them to finish, I couldn't help feeling that Isra seemed similar.
It was almost as if I had seen her somewhere before even though I clearly had no memories of ever meeting a giant like her before.
Only the more that I looked at her, the more that I felt that I had indeed seen her before. As I kept looking at her, I slowly started to realize where I had seen her before.
I had indeed never met her in this world, but there was a place where I had seen her before.
It was a place that no one else in this world would have seen since it wasn't from this world. It was the game that this world was based on.
That was where I had seen Isra before.
But it wasn't just any place that I had Isra before, it was beside Alidus that I had seen her.
That was because she was supposed to be Alidus' wife.
The backstory for Alidus was that he had fought over her with another childhood friend of his that he had a falling out with at some point. Based on that, that Dorian should have been that other childhood friend.
It seemed that their falling out wasn't something that happened all of a sudden. It seemed like this was the kind of falling out that came from a difference in opinion. At the same time, it seemed like it was a falling out because of their different positions.
After all, based on how the two different tribes had looked at each other, it was clear that there weren't any good feelings between them.
Something must have happened between their two tribes...
Once Alidus and Isra finished with their shared moment, Alidus finally thought to introduce
us.
"These are the human traders that came to our Harakka Tribe recently. Our tribe couldn't take all of their goods and they wanted to trade with as many tribes as possible, so we brought them here."
Alidus didn't mention the human kingdom and the fact that I was a king at all. After all, this wasn't a simple thing to explain to the other giants in the first place.
Isra didn't ask any questions about that and just asked, "What kind of goods are you selling?"
There was a faint smile that appeared on my lips when I heard this. This was what I was waiting for, the chance to show off my goods.
I knew that they would be hooked with just one taste.
With a smile that almost seemed sly, I said, "Let me give you a demonstration."
With that, I took out the voice recording crystal and started playing it. Though this time, it took a bit more mana since I deliberately raised the volume so that everyone would be able to hear.
There were quite a few giants that had been eavesdropping and looked over with interested looks after hearing what Alidus said.
The moment that Ariel's voice rang out through the air, the giants were all stunned. They froze there with dazed looks on their faces, almost as if they couldn't believe what they were
hearing.
They had never heard a voice that was as beautiful as this before.
Even when the song was over, there was no one that said a single thing as they just stood there in a daze.
It was as if they couldn't recover from what they had just heard.
After a long silence, Isra finally said, "I understand why the Harakka Tribe wasn't able to afford everything. These really are high grade goods that are worth a high price."
The other giants around her slowly nodded in agreement.
Even though this wouldn't be good for them to admit this since the humans would raise the price after hearing this admission, they just couldn't deny that this was a beautiful song.
It was in their nature to not lie about things that they admired.
If they were to say that it wasn't worth it, it would be going against their conscience and they wouldn't do something like that.
Since they admitted this, I didn't make it hard for them as I gave a nod to the others in my
group.
They came forward and started showing the other giants the goods that we had.
All of the giants had pleasantly surprised looks on their faces when they heard the prices that we were selling these things for. It was much cheaper than they thought that it was worth.
There were even some that argued that it was worth more.
But at least we had broken the ice and started trading with the giants.
