...Chaptre 54. Postwar negotiations....
A few days after the war was over, Iris came back to Dungeon Ace to have a meeting with me.
Before sitting down, Iris bowed her body and said something.
"Mr Nolan, I thank you on behalf of all the alliances for your cooperation in helping us to attack Salvation Army" Iris said.
"I'm just a merchant I should've done my best for my client."
Iris who heard that, she restored her posture. After that Iris sat down in front of me.
"Mr Nolan, before I continue. There is someone who wants to see you" Iris said, looking at the door.
And, I followed Iris's point of view and it was Mr. Lino, the King of the Bellanova kingdom, and Satoru and Muru.
"Mr Lino, how are you? And, you .." I said as I looked at Satoru and Muru.
Satoru and Muru who saw me bowed their bodies.
"My master's back!" say in unison Satoru and Muru.
"Mr Nolan," said Lino with a big smile.
I saw them get out of their seats and give them a hug. Satoru and Muru looked happy as well.
"I'm grateful you're okay."
"It's a blessing from Master as well" Satoru replied.
"Yes, besides that we brought some souvenirs from the enemy" replied Muru.
"You guys are great. Yashudah, you may be tired. Rest first!"
"Good, Master!" answer Satoru and Muru. Then, they disappeared using the Teleportation Dungeon.
After that, I looked towards Lino and gave her a smile. "Mr Lino, congratulations on your victory!"
"No! Nah! without the help of Mr. Nolan, I could not have won this battle" replied Lino who lowered her head.
I also returned with a smile.
"So, what's up? why did the King of the kingdom who won from the war come here?"
"Miss Iris and I would like to discuss your request to take Meiya Forest for your mercenary troops" Lino said.
"Is there a problem with my request?"
"No, we approve of it. We want to give more. Does Mr Nolan have any other requests?" ask Iris.
"What do you mean?"
"Mr Nolan, you are now known as a hero to our kingdom" Lino replied.
"Eh? Her hero? I don't understand what you're saying."
"On arrival of your troops. Our troops were cornered and nearly defeated however, your presence brought the situation upside down and achieved absolute victory. Since then, the troops from Dungeon Ace are considered heroes and you get the nickname Master of the Heroes" Iris replied.
Hearing that, I smiled a little.
"Mr Heroes. That's not too much."
"No, I think it's appropriate for your figure" replied Lino.
"Stay away. Is there any more trouble?"
"Return to the initial conversation. Does Mr Nolan have any other requests?" ask Iris.
"I think it's enough."
"Alright, if Mr. Nolan has no request. Then, I'll give it to you" Lino replied with a big smile.
Seeing Lino's expression made me feel something bad was about to happen.
"Mr Nolan, I will also give you the western forest located not far from Meiya forest along with the four villages in the western forest and Meiya where the village will be your people. No. gabe. But, be your slave," said Lino.
"Ehh?!"
