After lunch at noon, the Carites Chamber of Commerce's convoy finally rested and set off again.
One by one, the caravan members dismantled the tents, rolled them up, and moved them neatly to the carriage. The seriously injured were allowed to lie down on the carriage, while the lighter ones continued on their horses. They did not leave in the afternoon.
It didn't take long to arrive at Huangye Town outside the mountain.
Generally speaking, the Verga Business Alliance has mountainous areas in the west and relatively gentle plains in the east. The distance after leaving Huangye Town is basically flat roads. Cities and people are denser, and security has also been greatly improved.
The mayor of Huangye Town looked at this group of convoys with bandages and blood stains, and was a little frightened. When did there be such powerful bandits nearby? If the Carites Chamber of Commerce reported it to the Alliance Guild, his town would
The growth has come to an end.
He brought various herbs, liquor, food and local specialties, asked the convoy to accept them, and then hoped to see Miss Lacey of the Carites Chamber of Commerce.
Originally, Lorraine Hill didn't want to meet the mayor. She knew that this matter had little to do with the mayor, but then she thought about it and realized that this was another good opportunity, so she agreed to the mayor's request.
So that afternoon, on the outskirts of Huangye Town, an extra-large parasol was propped on the ground, the motorcade stopped not far away, and Lorraine Hill invited the mayor to come here to meet.
The mayor of Huangye Town is a middle-aged man about fifty years old, wearing a slightly rustic brown dress. Under the leadership of two riders, he met the legendary Miss Lacey.
She was wearing an exquisite light red dress, with her satin-like hair hanging behind her shoulders. She was sitting on a white wooden chair under a parasol. In front of her was a similarly white small round table with two teacups and a teapot on it.
The tea sets are all made of oriental white porcelain, with gorgeous gilt patterns on them.
When the mayor approached, the girl's clear blue eyes came into view. For a moment, she was so gorgeous that he couldn't help but look a little dull.
Chelsea, the head maid behind Lorraine Hill, coughed twice and reminded the distracted mayor that although she knew how rare her eldest daughter's appearance was, she didn't like her being looked at rudely.
The mayor finally came to his senses and quickly lowered his head and introduced himself.
"I am Lourdes from Huangye Town. I am honored to serve as the mayor. I just heard about Miss Lacey's experience and felt very frightened. I specially sent some supplies. I hope Miss Lacey can accept them as a token of my modest apology.
.”
"The accent sounds like the mayor, isn't he a local?" Lorraine Hill's voice came from the front, as light and sweet as a clear spring in the mountains.
"Yes, Miss Lacey is indeed very knowledgeable. I grew up in the Mangrove Islands in the south in my early years, and later came to Verga with my parents."
"Is it the Cranberry Principality? I heard there are many mages there?"
"Yes, it's a pity that I don't have the talent to become a magician. I only learned some arithmetic and writing before dropping out of school."
At this point, Lourdes showed a somewhat regretful expression. After the Cranberry Principality and the Young Moon Council united, they began to promote education throughout the territory. Those with excellent qualifications can become apprentices and embark on the path of the magic sequence. This is why the Southern Islands are known as
The reason why a small country can still be on an equal footing with some big countries.
Judging from its comprehensive strength, even compared with the seven countries united by Xuehua, it can still be ranked in the upper middle position.
The Young Moon Council and the United Kingdom of Crimson Berry, referred to as the Young Berry Kingdom, like Lurna, are both countries that are dominated by magicians and are famous outside the country. The origins of the magicians of the two countries are also entangled. Due to different philosophies, they regard each other.
They are enemies and rivals.
This kind of competition and opposition must start from its source, which is the Kingdom of Oz more than a thousand years ago. After the disintegration of the Mercury Dynasty, most of the extraordinary magicians in the dynasty were absorbed by the Kingdom of Oz, and its leader
They are the two great witches from the Mercury Dynasty.
One is Dorothy, the witch of time and space, and the other is a disguised 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. Her natural disaster red lotus technique can burn mountains and boil seas, destroying people.
everything.
Under the leadership of the two great witches, the Kingdom of Oz was once the most powerful country on the Western Continent and a holy land in the hearts of countless magic sequences. The Academy of Stargazing Mysteries in its royal capital can compete with Emenas Academy.
Gaoxia. The kingdom relied on magic technology to develop new types of magic warships and combat units of various magic sequences. Not only that, it also had frequent exchanges with the Plantagenet Dynasty in the East.
In the early days of the Plantagenet Dynasty, they assisted a large number of talents and materials. Even across the vast ocean, the enthusiasm for exchanges between the two countries could not be stopped. Later, they jointly founded a new college in the Plantagenet Dynasty, which deeply influenced the Plantagenet Dynasty.
The subsequent development of the Flower Dynasty.
But this powerful country, which everyone was optimistic about, fell soon after. The one who defeated them was the Green Kingdom, which had risen rapidly that year, and was later renamed the Green Empire.
After the Kingdom of Oz was destroyed, the magicians in the country had to travel far away. Some of them went west and were accepted by the Kingdom of Lurna, creating today's country of alchemy and wizards. The other part went south to the Southern Islands. And because of this,
Due to the fragmentation of the Southern Islands, this part was divided into the March Council, namely the Young Moon Council, the Crescent Moon Council, and the Full Moon Council. It was not until the Young Moon Council defeated the other two councils more than 200 years ago that it was reunited.
After the unification of the Young Moon Council, it united with the local secular Redberry Principality to become the current Youngberry Kingdom.
-------------
Lorraine Hill looked at the somewhat frightened mayor in front of him and knew that he was worried that his position would not be guaranteed in the future, so he took this opportunity to convey the news that outsiders had attacked the heir of the large chamber of commerce in Verga.
disintegrate its chamber of commerce.
But all businessmen are afraid 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 rejected.
As long as the mayor keeps conveying the message to the outside world that the attackers are not bandits but well-trained professional soldiers, he will be exempted from punishment because this is not a problem he can solve.
But how come there are professional soldiers in the Verga Business Alliance? This will trigger a broad discussion. The target is either the West Wind nobles or other large chambers of commerce within the alliance. In order to avoid suspicion and fear of irritating the nerves of other large chambers of commerce, Kari
The secret enemies of the Tes Chamber of Commerce will use vigilante weapons in the future, greatly reducing the possibility of another attack and assassination.
Because, if the orphan heiress of the Carites Chamber of Commerce dies unexpectedly during this period, it will cause a huge wave of shock in the territory of Verga, and other chambers of commerce will feel personally afraid, so they will do their best to investigate and track down the murderer to prevent this from happening to them.
On the body.
And this is exactly what Lorraine Hill wants to see.
