When Hao Ren left Peatopia, he left a dedicated communication channel to the Aerymian elves, so that they could get in touch with him in case of an emergency. It was clear that such an important external communication channel had to be manned on a 24/7 basis. When Hao Ren's voice was splattered across the channel, a moment of chatter was heard on the other end before the tense voice of a startled elf replied, "Aerymian Communication Tower. Your identity is being verified. Roger... Ahh, is it you, Lord?"
Hao Ren froze for a moment before he realized that the title "Lord" was referring to him—considering the area of land he had rented out to the elves, "Lord" was regarded as an upgraded version of "landlord".
