Duke conversed with Lucas for a long time before meeting Matthew from the Giant Rock Commerce Association, who was still stationed in the Wood Elf Plane.
"Mr. Duke, I'm glad you could return. I'm glad you're alright." Matthew looked thinner, suggesting he had been quite busy recently.
As Duke walked and chatted with Matthew, he learned of the difficulties the Giant Rock Commerce Association had been facing recently.
To be precise, most of the commerce associations in the Wood Elf Plane were having a tough time.
Black Sail had lost Firefly City, and with such a significant loss, they naturally needed compensation from elsewhere.
The Giant Rock Commerce Association became a target for Black Sail's actions, as they had been developing a lot of land outside contractual agreements.
Black Sail didn't demand the return of these lands, but required payment for land rental, which was no small sum.
