Power Expansion
Michael could clearly tell that it was a great opportunity to get the EmeraldLeaf Adventurer team on his side.
Not only were the five members Tier-2 Adventurers, but they could connect him to a race and market that was the complete opposite of mankind's market.
Mankind lacked the means to create big farms and reinvigorate the barren and destroyed lands in the Origin Expanse. They possessed other means that allowed them to survive in the Origin Expanse for half a millennium.
The Forest Elves had more means to create flourishing flora and fauna wherever they were. They had too many of them, in fact. However, they lacked many other resources.
Thus, Michael didn't hesitate to give the EmeraldLeaf Adventurer team a tour of his territory.
He first walked over to the Bilrox Ranch, then he visited the Weaponsmith, the Master Alchemist, the Priest, and tamed Monsters before he proudly showed the Forest Elves the development of his territory, and the farms.
