"After all, obstructing merchants from making money is even more antagonistic than killing their entire families."

Ji Chen nodded, understanding the logic.

Pausing for a moment, he asked, "Do you know the location of the Elven Embassy in Maple Harbor?"

Raymond was slightly surprised.

"My lord, are you planning to meet with the elves?"

"That's correct. My main purpose for coming this time is to make contact with the Elven clan. Everything else is secondary."

Ji Chen stood up, walked to the entrance, and looked out at the lush meadow. He said, "As a side note, let's also send the dozen or so elves who are still on the ship along with us."

Upon hearing this, Raymond nodded in realization. "That makes sense. Even if the Elven clan is quite proud, seeing that we've rescued so many abducted elves and established a trade relationship with them should improve their attitude. Plus, it's a barrier that protects our business on the continent."
