Chapter Seventy-Two: May the Trade Winds Never Stop
After making arrangements and plans, the Karitas Chamber of Commerce began to operate in full force, first inviting the representatives of the major chambers of commerce who had given gifts in the past few days, and then the various responsible persons began to discuss each other's agreements.
If it was in the past, these chambers of commerce were probably still a little reluctant, but now they have a request for Karites, so it didn't take too much trouble to agree, anyway, who is not selling, and there can be a long-term sales target.
But they couldn't have guessed what kind of monster it would unleash.
Lorain Hill sat on the top, blonde hair shoulder-length, revealing a faint collarbone, today she was wearing an off-the-shoulder light red dress, showing the charm of a girl, signing her name on a piece of contract paper, and then entertaining the representatives of these chambers of commerce to dinner, in a group of middle-aged people, this young girl is particularly special, but young age does not mean that the strength is weak, at this moment, she has a calm self-confidence.
The representative of the Aeoni Chamber of Commerce is Lady Shirley, who is the wife of the contemporary head of the Aeoni family.
Looking at this girl who was the same age as her daughter, she was full of sighs in her heart, her daughter Rujin still cared about which good-looking poet and which dress was beautiful, and discussed the recent popular style with her girlfriends. However, this young lady of the Karitas family is very bold to use this incident to tie Karides to the rest of the family, so that the Chamber of Commerce can break the restrictions of the market and go further.
Although she didn't understand why the eldest lady signed an agreement with all the chambers of commerce present, she also felt that it was of great significance, even if Karitas didn't make much money in the end, such a cooperation would greatly expand her business and make her reputation bigger.
And once successful, this cooperation project will tie these dozen chambers of commerce together to form a large and close interest group, and eventually the leader of this group, Karitas, will gain great power, and this will permanently change the pattern of Velga, and other chambers of commerce that are not involved will be excluded and suppressed, and eventually disappear by constantly eating away at market share.
What a terrible and beautiful girl.
She thought to herself, then stood up, her glass raised.
"Thank you Miss Lacey for your help, and I wish you eternal youth and beauty." As she got up, other chamber of commerce representatives also got up to congratulate her.
"May the trade winds not stop, the long sails agitate, and the treasures of the seven seas will come as promised."
The delegates recited this ancient blessing proverb, which represents the spirit of trade and the belief in contracts in Verga since ancient times, and is also the most famous congratulatory phrase at sea.
"Cheers!" ×N
In the laughter, the dinner gradually came to an end.

Tisiphone's house, study.
"Adley, the Roulna delegation will be here in two days, have you made up your mind?"
"How did you make up your mind to kill that Angus's daughter?" Addley asked rhetorically as he sat on the couch.
"I didn't say that, but once she cooperates with the official Rulner, it will be difficult for us to start, and then the organization will fall to Karitas."
"Cangcui has been a little unstable internally in the past two years, and some big nobles have begun to suggest to the emperor to start a war again to divert contradictions."
"The dragon of doom, huh. Who is so active and bold except for the Baskas. Addley guessed with great certainty.
The Bhaskar family is the southern duke of the Verdant Empire, or the king, because the fiefdom of himself and his vassals combined is larger than that of the Zephyr Kingdom, and because of its proximity to Rourna, it can gather nearly 500,000 troops in a short period of time to suppress the territory, and if it is fully recruited, it can even gather about 1.2 million troops.
Its family crest is a red dragon on a black background, also known as the dragon of doom, the family holds the complete advanced route of the dragon sequence 8 - Nightmare Dragon Jabba Walker, and its ancestors are a branch of the verdant royal family, so it has always been deeply trusted, guarding the rich south of the empire, and is also one of the four major duke families of the verdant empire.
The other three are the Trey family with a gray raven as their family crest, the Landsworth family with a white unicorn on a blue background, and the Salus's family with a griffin on a gold background.
"The Dragons of Doom have always been warlike, and the ravens don't leave the North, it depends on what the unicorns and griffons think, and if the Dragons of Doom can pull a family as an ally, the war that has stopped for a hundred years will start again."
"And our organization wants to integrate the Seven Kingdoms of Sewah as soon as possible, and Verga is an important part of it."
"Only in this way can we, the descendants of the destruction of the country, continue to live, otherwise there will be nowhere to hide under the nest." Wick slowly stated and analyzed the situation.
Adelley closed his eyes and thought, he didn't expect things to get so fast, according to the original plan, he should have secretly found some trouble for Karitas, and then he took the opportunity to come out and help solve it, and gain the favor of Lacey, it is best to let her marry him, so that he can get everything about Karites.
After gaining its trust, it is easy to attack, elevate it, and slowly annex Karitas.
But the sky is not as good as people, the civil war of the west wind disrupted all the rhythm, everyone did not expect that the peasant uprisings that occur almost every year were so powerful this time, and they directly crushed the north coalition army of the west wind on the frontal battlefield, and for a time the west wind was correspondingly across the country, and it became a pot of porridge, which affected the Verga in the south.
"Don't do it yet, I'm going to visit the master who the organization sent over recently." Addley opened his eyes, and then he had a plan.
"You mean the one? I don't think these feather-loving alchemists will just help. ”
"A lot of things, it's not that you don't do it, it's just that the price is not enough." Addley smiled.
"I'll give him a condition that he can't refuse." After speaking, he took his coat and walked out of the study.
Watching Addley leave, Wick continued to sit on the sofa, slowly sipping his cup of coffee and being silent for a long time.
"My wise brother..... Now that you've been bewitched by that Miss Lacey, you've given up the coldness you've always been. ”
"In that case, let me help you cut off this fantasy that you shouldn't have."
He slowly finished his cup, slowly placed the cup on the coffee table, and began to summon some hidden figures.
The bleak autumn wind blew, and outside the port of Hopeland, one by one the sailboats began to set sail, preparing to follow the coastline to the kingdom of Zephyr in the north, accompanied by personnel from the other twelve chambers of commerce, and a large amount of grain was also loaded on the ship, which was currently in urgent need of the west wind.

"Goodbye, Uncle Fang, I hope to continue to listen to you talk about the Eastern Continent next time."
In the harbor, Lorain Hill waved to an uncle in a white robe in scales, and then watched the fleet set sail.
According to his description, the Eastern Continent is very similar to the homeland of Lorain Hill in his previous life, wearing fine clothes and respecting etiquette. This can't help but make the girl very curious, and she has heard a lot of things about the Eastern Continent these days.
"Hahaha, if the eldest lady likes to listen to it, then I'll set off for Lao Bai, we'll see you in 2 months." The uncle smiled and waved his hand, the wide cuffs tumbling in the wind, and the bizarre oriental costume was also extremely rare in Verga.
The white gulls swirled, the sea breeze blew, and the vast fleet began to pull anchor, heading in the direction of the setting sun, accompanied by a purple-red sunset.
