Chapter 2134 No Need to Sleep
"An unconditionally arriving savior...?"

Blaze muttered to himself about the Crusader Expedition; having been born into the Alliance of Giants, he had never had a good impression of the Holy Cross Church.

The Holy Cross Church had a very strong aversion to people of other races, to the point that if a child they had raised with kindness for several years was found to be of another race, they would be immediately expelled.

Marika was like that; she grew up in a church in a Balkan city as an abandoned child, but was expelled from the church and ostracized when her dwarf blood was exposed.

Even so, the Giant Kingdom Alliance still permitted the Holy Cross Church to build churches in various cities within the Giant Kingdom Alliance.

Because, apart from those who target other races, the people of the Holy Cross Church are believers with a strong belief that those who do good will eventually enter heaven.

They would lower their own quality of life to give alms to impoverished areas, use their faith to help the wounded for free, and even adopt abandoned babies unconditionally and raise them to adulthood.

Because of these things, churches in other countries are generally in a state of considerable poverty. Fortunately, they have not yet become so corrupt that they will honestly accept the relief funds from the Giant Kingdom Alliance.

Originally, the treatment of the blessed was free, but after the arrival of the stranger, who was so careless with his life, the church began to charge for treatment, which brought the church a large sum of money. The priests and nuns in the church were finally able to wear clothes without patches, and the adopted orphans could live a good life with three dishes, a soup, and snacks.

It is worth mentioning that before Marika was swept up in the upheaval of the Balkans, she often visited the church that had nurtured her for several years, although she was always met with a cold shoulder. When the Balkans were relocated, it was Marika who found a new site for the church.

As for the Crusades, they are the most devout of all. No matter what major event it is, as long as a legion is needed, the Crusades will always send one or two legions.

Although Anderson mocked the cloak that looked like a blood-stained ticket to heaven, it is undeniable that most of the blood on it came from the wearer.

Even the representative of the chaebol alliance said so.

They are foolish and stubborn people, but without such foolish and stubborn people, he would not be able to sleep tonight.

Lottie shook her head helplessly. She didn't understand human culture, but she could understand how much resolve it took to uphold a thankless vow.

This is precisely the difficult thing. In the past, we have survived betrayal, conspiracy, and traps. Now, we are only being used, and it seems that we can still get through it.

"That's because we're not human."

“This is indeed a difficult situation.” The representative of the conglomerate alliance habitually touched the bridge of his nose. “We, who travel all over the place for business, are also the best information brokers.”

"While running the food supply business for the orcs, we also collected a lot of human opinions about the orcs, and the conclusions we came to were extremely regrettable."

"If humans and orcs clash, even if the humans are absolutely in the wrong, the vast majority of humans will not stand on the side of the orcs."

"To be honest, some people even feel sympathy for monsters that are hunted in large numbers by strangers, but they are extremely averse to orcs who talk and communicate. Orcs can be said to be the closest life form to humans, but because of this, they are also very far apart."

“Humans…” Blaze tapped the table with his fingers, lost in thought, “Since we have chosen to persevere, we have no choice but to persevere to the end. Only if we persevere now will future generations have a reason to continue to persevere.”

"Notify Robert Kreve and Aldridge to meet with them to coordinate."

"Should we agree to their terms?" the representative of the conglomerate alliance asked cautiously.

"Ha! You just don't understand!" Before Blazer could answer, Herbie immediately stood up, arms crossed triumphantly.

"Knowing that the other party has their reasons and is forced to do this for survival, Blazer will definitely choose to suffer the loss. But if he knows that the other party has ill intentions, he will only smile on the surface while secretly investigating them thoroughly."

"All they can eat is Blaze's fists."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're making me sound like I'm some kind of scheming person. I'm just stating the facts." Blazer shook his head helplessly. How could Herbie see him as such a person?

"In short, just by looking at their application review report, they are definitely very well prepared. They won't give us any chance on the surface, not even a chance to say a few words."

"So all we can do is respond to their demands and see what they're asking for."

“That’s all we can do.” Herbie nodded, and before the atmosphere became a little dull, he suddenly put his hand on the table and grinned.

Where are you planning to stay tonight?

"I don't need to sleep." Blazer's words cut off all of Herbie's remaining words, and Herbie immediately felt disappointed.

"So, where will you stay at night? Don't you get bored during the long night?"

"This is the Giant's House, known as the City That Never Sleeps. Even if I started from the beginning and explored as I went, I might not be able to see the whole Giant's House by dawn."

For the first time, Herbie realized how inconvenient the Giant's House was as the center of the world economy.

"You're acting a bit strange today?" Blazer looked at Herbie suspiciously. Herbie seemed less like she had ulterior motives and more like she was holding a grudge after being interrupted on a casual topic.

"No, no, um, a little..."

Herbie stammered, her eyes darting around. What could she say? She couldn't very well say that on a whim, she decided to say everything that she could say to a boy but not to a man.

She felt a little embarrassed about it when she thought about it herself.

"Ahem, I previously had someone investigate Robert Kleef and Aldridge. If we know their identities, perhaps we can find a way to solve the problem." The representative of the financial conglomerate stood up tactfully and backed out of the conference room.

If it were just the two of them left, Herbie might have been able to relax a bit, but Lottie and Hervy were just standing there, staring wide-eyed.

First, orcs are very slow-witted in some ways; second, they were brought by Blaze and had nowhere else to go.

"Well, actually I wanted to invite Wade. You know, someone like me who uses a lot of brainpower every day really needs a top-notch bed."

“Then you can just tell her that I’m a very democratic person.” Blazer pointed out the window, where a chicken’s head filled the entire window, and she was glaring at Herbie.

It was as if he was questioning someone, but it was unclear what he was questioning. Herbie, who was usually thick-skinned, turned his head away guiltily under the chicken's gaze.
