Chapter 664: The Strength of the Smallfolk’s Strongest Warrior At Ankh’s suggestion, Tauro and the others moved to the inner courtyard of the castle so Char’s abilities could be tested.

Chapter 663: Handling Divine Iron Tauro declared that he wouldn’t put the newly mined orichalcum on the open market. Everyone was shocked and immediately questioned him. “Lord Tauro, if you do that, this territory’s greatest source of income will disappear!” Robin-san, who was serving as acting administrator in Tauro’s absence, was the first to object.
Chapter 662: The Mining Results After successfully concluding negotiations in the Lizardman Autonomous Region, Tauro and his companions finally returned to the city of Sugar, the capital of his territory, for the first time in quite a while. “This trip was long…” Still riding atop the wolf-shaped puppet Garo, the group passed through the city

Chapter 656: A Duel with the Smallfolk In the Smallfolk Autonomous Region, the city of Minimo had originally served as the regional capital.

Chapter 655: Outmaneuvering the Smallfolk Tauro and his group stayed for several days in Haari, the stronghold city of the Issun faction. During that time, the elf envoy Lady Aglariel held repeated negotiations with Hoshi, successfully securing the early resumption of relations between the Elf Autonomous Region and the Issun faction. With that settled, she
