The one who understood Furut's local situation best was Mao Cao of Resurrection Kingdom.
He gave a brief introduction to this world.

After Lord Four Seas confirmed the importance of Bird Claw Fruit, Daisy and I also discussed with the kingdom's ministers the possibility of establishing orchards there."
"Furut's fruit trees are planted village by village, and there aren't many of them, while bird-claw trees need a growth cycle measured in decades. So only orchards on a proper scale can provide the Yao Clan with enough raw Bird Claw Fruit."
"This requires the participation of the locals. They can select mature, sweet fruit through conversation, and have the fire ants remove the poison sacs. Bringing in the locals will also help the Yao Clan's fruit forests develop healthily there."
Lu Yao approved of this policy.
Taking everything and leaving nothing had never been the Yao Clan's style. What mattered was a steady, lasting flow. If you wanted development, you had to make more friends.
When everyone could profit, people would invite you along when there was something good.
"My lord, before the orchard is officially established, we need to send someone over in secret to personally understand the locals' needs and living conditions. There are also followers of other outside Gods active there, so someone who isn't an Apostle would be more discreet and convenient, and would be able to learn the more authentic situation."
Mao Cao recommended two candidates.
