While the Carites Chamber of Commerce was holding a discussion meeting, the Tisiphone family also began to discuss the current situation in the secret room.
Under the dim fluorite lamp, four figures were sitting in the underground secret room of the castle. The four walls of the room were made of bluestone that felt cool and cold to the touch. Occasionally, the sound of dripping water in the distance could be heard. The passage outside the secret room was also very complicated, and the layout was very complicated.
If the mechanism is full, even if the enemy breaks through the castle on the ground, they can stop it here, then enter the ocean outside through the underground waterway, and finally escape.
The head of the Tisiphone family has a little thinning hair and a little gray beard. He looks very old. In fact, he is only in his fifties. However, the battle in his early years left behind hidden diseases. He has always been in poor health and his face is not good.
Also a little haggard.
"Ahem...Is this what you have done? What a shame." He said slowly, his voice hoarse.
In recent years, the head of the family has long retreated behind the scenes and begun to leave important matters to the younger generation. Unfortunately, he was very disappointed this time. Although the assassination of Angus was a bit risky, it was not impossible. It's just that they actually
He let Angus's daughter go more than once, and finally let her live in Hopeland.
"Adley, you were the child who made me most satisfied, but now... I am very disappointed in you. Could it be that your comfortable and wealthy life has made you forget your family's mission?" the old man said in a voice.
It's unpleasant, but it's inexplicably scary.
Adeley sat on the stone chair, leaning his head on one hand and looking at the table with an expressionless face, showing no excuses or shame.
Seeing that the situation was gradually reaching a deadlock, Wick had no choice but to step forward and mediate a little.
"We didn't expect that the Kalites Chamber of Commerce would temporarily find an unknown master and kill Nihanla with one blow on a rainy night. This led to the failure of the second operation."
Nihanla is the leader of the black cavalry, and his strength has been greatly improved in the rain, close to Sequence 4. If Lorraine Hill hadn't taken the opportunity to take action during the rapid confrontation, he would have been impossible to defeat in a frontal battle, unless the extraordinary core was activated.
.
Precisely because of the rapid charge and the short reaction time, in game terms, the attack power is extremely high but the defense power is extremely low, so the girl can find a flaw in the danger and kill him.
"Have you seen who the other party is?"
"No, according to the memories of the three cavalrymen who escaped, the time was very short, it was night and heavy rain. They only saw the other party wearing a black robe and did not know his appearance. After the Carites Chamber of Commerce returned to Hopeland, this
Not even a man in black robe appeared."
"Hmph, don't you even know the strength and identity of the other party? There are so many people in the other party's chamber of commerce, wouldn't you know it if you just grab anyone and torture them?"
"We have thought about this, but that old man Seres was born in the army and is very strict about keeping secrets. After returning to Hopeland, he immediately transferred these guards to the Southern Islands, saying they were going there to recuperate and do some work.
It’s been a relaxing job for a while, but now we don’t know which island they are on, after all, it’s not within our scope of activities.”
"Serres... you're actually still alive, huh." The old man seemed to have remembered something, and stopped asking about this matter and turned to other things.
"What did the organization say?"
"There are new instructions from above. Mastering the shipbuilding technology of Kalites is the first goal. As for the unification of Hopeland, the matter will be slowed down first."
The old man didn't speak after hearing this. He closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. "Do you understand?"
"Understand, if we can't take down Kalites immediately, the organization will even turn to support them and abandon us." At this moment, Adeley finally spoke.
"Just understand. We, Tisiphone, originate from a family in the Kingdom of Oz. It is also because of this origin that the high-ranking alchemists in Lurna chose us first."
"But hundreds of years have passed. Under the pursuit of the Dark Moon of the Green Empire, the strength of us descendants of Oz has been greatly reduced. If we still can't make some achievements, we deserve to be given up."
"As a vengeful clan, we have assassinated a grand duke and two young princes in Green Green. The enemy will not let go of such a feud. Tisiphone will perish if it cannot move forward. This is not alarmist."
"Yes, Father." The three responded.
"Adley and Wick, you two continue to handle the affairs of Hopeland and your family. As for Abel..." The old man turned to look at his youngest son.
"You take some people and property to the Southern Islands, cut off all contact with the family, and ahem... settle down independently there." The old man was still worried after all, and began to prepare a way out for the family.
"Yes, father."
Abel is young, probably only 16 years old, with black hair and bright eyes.
--------------------------
On the other side, a fierce quarrel began in the conference hall where Lorraine Hill was located.
"I don't agree to rent a fleet to transport goods to other chambers of commerce!" A big man wearing blue and black clothes stood up. He wore a big-brimmed hat and a rough beard, with an angry expression.
Sitting in the middle seat, Lorraine Hill was a little surprised as to why the fleet leader reacted so violently.
The one who stood up was Heitz, the leader of the Swordfish fleet, and he continued.
"Miss, consider their difficulties, have they considered our difficulties?"
"Back then, when we were fighting for the sea route with Lord Angus, these old-established chambers of commerce suppressed us a lot. Together with the Dayas family, they kept stumbling in secret, belittling and ridiculing us, and even our relationship with the Dayas family
The fleet fought several times at sea with real swords and guns, and people on both sides died."
"Mr. Haize, these are all things that happened more than ten years ago. The two parties have long since reconciled. Each generation has its own practices. Now Miss Lacey is in charge. You are not allowed to make any loud noises!"
Chelsea stood beside Lorraine Hill and asked sternly. Although she was only the head maid, she had a very senior position in Carites, and many people were her juniors and had been taken care of by her. As soon as she opened her mouth, the scene changed again.
It suddenly became quiet.
Looking at Chelsea's sharp eyes, Haitz stood for a while, then sat down angrily, muttering something in his mouth, "Old woman."
"Because we got the news relatively early, most of the materials in West Wind have been shipped out in advance, and now we can be free to help other chambers of commerce." Lorraine Hill's eyes slowly swept across the audience, and many people were staring at her.
, there is expectation, admiration, reverence, etc. in the eyes.
"Of course we won't help in vain. Relying on this cooperation, we at Kalites will sign long-term and stable supply agreements with other chambers of commerce to obtain each company's specialty products."
"With such rich supply channels and categories, we will build a new kind of super store."
"In such a store, customers can easily buy all daily necessities and various commodities."
"This has many advantages. First, it is very convenient for customers. They can buy what they need without having to run around to various stores."
"Second, after the crowd gathering effect and a complete and high-quality reputation are formed, customers will think of this super store and come here first no matter what they buy."
"Third, it is an excellent advertising effect. Many items are not needed by customers, but are unknown to them. In super stores with a large number of people, these products can spread quickly."
"The fourth is to reduce operating costs for some products that are not purchased often, such as books. Not many people usually buy them, so the cost of opening a special store is very high, but here only requires a remote counter."
"Five is,..."
....
Lorraine Hill patiently explained the huge advantages and dimensionality reduction brought by supermarkets to ordinary stores. She had experienced that era, a newly opened supermarket in a small town, the kind of overcrowding and novelty, with long queues of people
, smashing local small shops to pieces.
And under her description, all the senior officials of the Carites Chamber of Commerce listened attentively, and their hearts were so full of passion that they almost couldn't help but jump up and run out to fight.
Looking at this peerless and intelligent girl sitting in the first seat, some elders of the Chamber of Commerce were convinced at this moment and had to sigh that the young lady is better than the old. This young lady will probably do great things far beyond Angus.
