Chapter 1054: Offering a reward
Once most of the tribes had gathered in the giant market, that was when we suddenly made
our move.
It was also when most of our stock had been sold and when everyone seemed like they were about to pack up.
We knew that this was the perfect time to make the announcement that we had to make.
"I want to get everyone's attention for something."
I said this with the help of a magic crystal that amplified my voice so that everyone in the giant market was able to hear me.
They were surprised to hear me say this, but they all turned to look at me to see what was happening. That included those that didn't seem to have a good impression of humans, including the Korin Tribe.
When Dorian looked over, he narrowed his eyes as if he was trying to figure out what was happening.
It was clear that he didn't think that this was a normal matter.
It was clear that he was suspicious that something was about to happen.
Once I got everyone's attention, I suddenly said, "There's something that I want to announce. I have a reward that I want to offer everyone."
The giants that were looking at me all had confused looks on their faces when they heard this, but there were quite a few giants that seemed interested in what I had to say. Or rather, it was better to say that they were interested in the reward that I mentioned.
This was because of the items that we had been selling the past few days.
They had no doubt that these items were related to the reward that I mentioned.
After a pause, I gave a nod to the aides behind me and they took out a statue for everyone to
see.
Though this was a statue that was as tall as me and considered a large statue for humans, it was nothing more than a statuette for the giants. However, that didn't mean that they weren't interested in this thing.
This was something that we hadn't sold yet since we had been planning on using this for the final day to attract everyone's attention.
But it was more important that we used it for this matter.
It would certainly help us get more attention than anything else that we could have offered.
After taking out this statue, the eyes of many of the giants lit up.
That was because this was a beautiful statue that was unlike anything that we had offered before. It piqued the interests of these giants that loved art and many of them wanted this statue.
They looked at each other as if they were wary of each other, as if they were prepared to compete for this statue like this was an auction.
But then there were people that remembered what I had said before about this being offered as a reward. They realized that I must have some kind of favour that I wanted from them in return for this statue, which made them more wary.
A favour that a human asked...it certainly wouldn't be easy for them to fulfill...
At the very least, they could hear what I had to say.
It was only after seeing this change to the expressions of the giants that I continued speaking.
"It's a very simple matter that we need your help with."
After saying this, I waved Alidus over and he came to my side before I said, "Both the Harakka Tribe and I wish to ask everyone if they have any information about what happened in the nearby forest yesterday."
Many of the giants revealed confused looks when they heard this as they didn't understand what I meant by this.
Even though they were confused, I didn't say anything as I waited for them to react.
Or it was better to say that I was looking at Dorian and the Korin Tribe to see how they would react.
There were a few reactions from Dorian's followers, but Dorian's only reaction was to slightly narrow his eyes as he looked in this direction. It seemed that he wouldn't drop his guard that easily.
After looking at him for a bit, I said, "There was an accident that happened in the nearby forest yesterday and it seems to be related to the Harakka Tribe, so we wish to get everyone's help in figuring out what happened. If anyone can provide information that will lead to this problem being solved, they will receive this statue."
There were many people that slightly knitted their brows when they heard this, but that didn't mean that they lost their enthusiasm. These giants that slightly knitted their brows still looked at the statue with glowing eyes as if they wanted to take this statue for themselves.
It was clear that even if this sounded difficult, they didn't plan on giving up.
Especially since they heard that the Harakka Tribe was involved as well.
Seeing Alidus step forward was the best way to confirm this.
The Harakka Tribe was one of the biggest tribes in the area, so it would never be bad to build a relationship with them.
Once everyone understood what the favour I was asking them was, it seemed that they agreed to it as they promised that they would bring any information that they had to us when they
could.
With how many there were making this promise, it was certainly quite the scene.
If anyone was responsible for the accident, they would certainly be feeling the pressure from this situation.
Which was what was happening with Dorian and the Korin Tribe.
The Korin Tribe members looked a bit worried seeing this and they looked like they wanted to ask Dorian something, but he didn't even look back at them as his narrowed eyes swept over
the crowd.
It was as if he was thinking about something.
But the look in his eyes made it clear that he was also feeling pressure from this.
It would have been easy to expose him, but we needed him to play his part for now.
