Chapter 49: Passing the Message

After lunch, the carotan of the Kalites Chamber of Commerce finally rested and set off again.

A member of the caravan dismantled the tent, rolled it up, and carried it neatly to the wagon, and the seriously wounded were also allowed to lie down in the wagon, and the lighter ones rode on horseback, and they did not walk long in the afternoon to reach the town of Huangye outside the mountain.

Generally speaking, the west of the Weiga Business Alliance is mostly mountainous, and the east is a relatively gentle plain, and the distance after leaving Huangye Town is basically a smooth avenue, and the city and people are also dense, and the safety has also been greatly improved.

The mayor of Huangye Town looked at the group of convoys with bandages and bloodstains, and was a little frightened, when did there be such a powerful bandit nearby. If the Karitas Chamber of Commerce reports to the Alliance Guild, he, the mayor, will be the end of it.

Armed with various herbs, liquor, food, and local specialties, he begged the convoy to accept them, and then wished to see Miss Lacey of the Caritas Chamber of Commerce.

Originally, Lorain Hill didn't want to see the mayor, she knew that this matter had little to do with the mayor, but after thinking about it, this was another good opportunity, so she agreed to the mayor's request.

So that afternoon, on the outskirts of Yellow Leaf Town, an extra-large parasol was propped up on the ground, and the motorcade stopped not far away, and Lorain Hill invited the mayor to come and meet here.

The mayor of Yellow Leaf Town is a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, wearing a slightly rustic brown dress, and meets the legendary Miss Lacey under the leadership of two riders.

Dressed in a delicate light red dress with satin hair draped over her shoulders, she sat on a white wooden chair under a parasol, and in front of her was a small round table, equally white, with two teacups and a teapot, all made of oriental white porcelain and with ornate gilt patterns.

When the mayor approached, the girl's blue and clear eyes came into view, and for a while, it was unsurprising, and he couldn't help but look a little dull.

Chelsea, the head maid behind Lorain Hill, coughed twice, reminding the distracted mayor that while she knew how rare her eldest lady's face was, she didn't like to be looked at rudely.

Only then did the mayor react, and hurriedly lowered his head and introduced himself.

"Below is Ruerd of Yellow Leaf Town, who is fortunate to serve as the mayor of the town, and when he heard what happened to Miss Lacey, he felt very frightened, and specially sent some supplies, hoping that Miss Lacey could accept it as a sign of my meager apology."

"Listen to the accent, Mr. Mayor is not a local, is he?" Lorraine Hill's voice came from ahead, as light and melodious as a spring in the mountains.

"Yes, Miss Lacey really knew that she grew up in the Mangrove Islands in the south in her early years, and then came to Verga with her parents."

"Is it the Cranberry Principality, I heard that there are a lot of mages over there?"

"Yes, it's a pity that I didn't have the talent to become a magic sequence, and I only learned a little arithmetic and writing and dropped out of school."

Speaking of which, Ruld showed a slightly regretful expression, after the Cranberry Principality and the Fledgling Moon Council united, they began to promote education throughout the territory, and those with excellent qualifications could become apprentices and embark on the path of the magic sequence. This is also the reason why the Southern Islands are still on a par with some large countries in terms of land size.

In terms of its comprehensive strength, even compared with the seven countries of the Snow Warp Union, it can also rank in the upper middle position.

The Finnish Moon Council and the United Kingdom of Cranberries, referred to as the Kingdom of Fledgling Berries, are both well-known countries dominated by magicians, and the relationship between the magicians of the two countries is also entangled, and due to their different philosophies, they regard each other as rivals.

This kind of competition and confrontation has to start from its source, that is, more than a thousand years ago, the country of Oz, after the disintegration of the Mercury Dynasty, most of the extraordinary people of the dynasty's magic sequence were absorbed by the Oz Kingdom, and its leaders were the two great witches of the Mercury Dynasty.

One is Dorothy, the witch of time and space, and the other is a fictitious witch whose real name is unknown, legend has it that her appearance is ever-changing, and she is also known as the head of the red lotus.

Under the leadership of the two Great Witches, the Kingdom of Oz was once the most powerful country in the Western Continent, a sacred place in the hearts of countless magical sequences, and the Academy of Stargazing Secret Rites in its royal capital could compete with the Academy of Amenas Amenas. The kingdom relied on magic technology to develop new types of magic warships, and various magic sequence combat classes, not only that, but also frequent exchanges with the Plantagenet Dynasty in the East.

In the early days of the Plantagenet Dynasty, a large number of talents and materials were aided, and even across the vast ocean, it still could not stop the enthusiasm of exchanges between the two countries. Later, he co-founded a new academy in the Plantagenet Dynasty, which deeply influenced the later development of the Plantagenet Dynasty.

But this powerful country, which was favored by everyone, fell soon after, and it was the verdant kingdom that rose rapidly back then, which was later renamed the verdant empire, that defeated them.

After the destruction of the kingdom of Oz, the magicians of the country had to flee the country, some of them were accepted by the kingdom of Rounar to the west, which became the country of alchemists and mages, and the other part went south to the southern islands. Due to the fragmented nature of the Southern Isles, this part was divided into the March Council, which were the Hinyue Council, the Quarter Moon Council, and the Full Moon Council, until the Hina Moon Council defeated the other two councils more than 200 years ago and reunited again.

After the unification of the Hinone Moon Council, it united with the local secular Cranberry Principality, and became the current Hinberry Kingdom.

-------------

Lorain Hill looked at the somewhat terrified mayor in front of him, knowing that he was worried that his position would not be secured, so he just took advantage of this to convey the news, that is, an outsider had attacked the heir of the Great Chamber of Commerce in the territory of Verga, in a vain attempt to disintegrate the Chamber of Commerce.

But all businessmen fear that their 'hard-earned' wealth will be plundered by others, so this kind of attack on the heirs of the Chamber of Commerce will attract great attention and be vigorously repulsed.

As long as the mayor keeps getting the message to the outside world, that the attackers are not robbers, but trained professional soldiers, he will be exempt from punishment, because this is not a problem that he can solve.

But how could there be professional soldiers in the Vilga Business Alliance, this would spark a wide discussion, and the spearhead would either be directed at the Great Nobles of Zephyr or other big chambers of commerce within the Alliance. In order to avoid suspicion and fear of stimulating the nerves of other major chambers of commerce, the secret enemies of the Karitas Chamber of Commerce will throw a mouse trap in the future, greatly reducing the possibility of another attack and assassination.

Because, if the orphan heiress of the Karitas Chamber of Commerce dies during this time, it will set off a shocking wave in the territory of Verga, and the other chambers of commerce will feel jealous, so they will do their best to investigate and track down the murderer to prevent this from happening to themselves.

And that's exactly what Lorain Hill wants to see.
