"Krofts is dead. Have you considered a new patriarch?"
The group, who were discussing the specialties of the North Island, were somewhat puzzled by Todd's question. However, one of the elders, Claw, provided an answer: "In a few days, we will hold a tribal assembly to elect a new chieftain."
"First, I hope that the person you have chosen this time will not be as selfish as Crofts. At the very least, the new chieftain should put the interests of the people first and his own safety last," Todd said slowly. "Second, Twilight Town will open a trade route on the North Island. Regarding this trade route, I can assure you in the name of the Father that the people of the North Island will be completely freed from poverty and hunger through it.

We are willing to listen to your mediation and return Blackskull Island to the Blackskull tribe!"
Morgan clenched his fist, pounded Todd's chest hard, and said gratefully, "Lord Todd! You are the benefactor of 'Black Skull'! You are my best friend! I swear to the gods, my axe will fight for you, my shield will stand for you, and my loyalty will never betray your trust!"
