Not a Witch

Alas, it's a little annoying, Roland Hill put his chin on his arm and tilted his head to look at his hair.

Originally, she thought that she would continue to live in seclusion in the forest after the matter of Verga was settled. She was someone who was more afraid of trouble and preferred to be alone.But the education and character she received since childhood gave her a good sense of responsibility.

Let her avoid some things without heart and soul, and she can't let go, so she has to keep her promise and do some things. Although it is not annoying, she still likes a more free life.

It seemed that she had to speed up her progress, burying her head in her arms, she thought to herself, and the silky strands of hair were loosened from her fingertips and scattered on her shoulders.

---------

Three days later, the headquarters of the Karites Chamber of Commerce sent various letters, causing the branches in all regions of the West Wind to start shrinking, leaving a small number of necessary personnel, and the others began to withdraw from the West Wind and return to Verga to prevent the war from being affected.

The three major fleets of the Chamber of Commerce, "Swordfish", "Tradewind" and "White Bird", have all been recalled, and the branch presidents from various places have been called to participate in the discussion in Hopelander.

The Karites Chamber of Commerce organizes personnel to set up an intelligence analysis department to adjust trade strategies in the future.

No longer rejecting invitations from other Hoplander families, Loren Hill will attend some recent banquets to meet representatives and owners of other chambers of commerce.

In the end, Loren Hill also asked the following stewards to select and recommend young people with excellent qualities to impart extraordinary knowledge and organize training.She will give advanced information to the extraordinary job agency based on her specialties and qualifications.

The girl was sitting at the desk, holding a pen and writing all kinds of plans seriously, her long blond hair was on a red dress.

She started planning various things, and then prepared several tables to sort out and analyze.

The burning candle swayed in the evening wind, and the figure on the desk was pulled very long.

Chapter 66 The Banquet at the Nixos House

Hopelander, House of Nissos.

The Nissos Chamber of Commerce is one of the five largest chambers of commerce in Hopeland. The eldest son, Felton, is considered to be the oldest among Hopeland's younger generation. He is now 31 years old, but he married relatively late. The children are only 1-3 years old.

Today's banquet is also hosted by him, and he has invited all the high-level circles of Hopelander to celebrate his little daughter's safe one-year-old birthday. Eat, dance, or do some other entertainment.

The Nissos family is the most keen to hold banquets among the major families in Hopeland, and the communication range is very wide. If you want to quickly get to know the valuable and powerful figures of Hopelander, attending their banquet is the best choice.

Of course, the Nissos family's preference for banquets is not only a hobby, but also because their family mainly operates the winemaking industry. 40% of the wine in the entire Verga is produced by their family, and various wines are exported to various countries, in the southern part of the mainland and Seomyeon are very famous.The purpose of every banquet is to promote their own new type of alcohol, which can be regarded as an advertisement, so that these top-level Hoplanders like it, and from top to bottom, this new type of alcohol will gradually become popular.

Lorraine Hill sat upright in the carriage, looking at the carriages on the road through the glass on the car window, the street lights on the street, the lanterns hanging on the carriage, the lights interacted, dyeing the street a dim yellow like the old days , I can often hear the bells on the carriage and the various conversations of people.The road to Nissos' house was crowded with wagons and guards of all kinds.

"Is the Nissos family so popular?" the girl asked curiously.

"This is not a good judgment, but they do communicate widely. Every time they invite a lot of people, they will provide their new type of alcohol for free. After all, this is their main industry." Chelsea replied.

"Do we Carrites have anything to do with them?"

"4-5 years ago, their family made a new Cointreau, which was very popular and sold very well, so they asked us to buy a batch of oranges, which are the main raw materials of Cointreau. ."

After a little reflection, Chelsea continued.

"Because winemaking has many requirements for the growth of oranges, sweetness, moisture, etc., the owner of the Nissos family also discussed with Lord Angus several times at that time."

"Cointreau is orange as crystal, crystal clear as amber, has a strong and smooth taste, and has the natural fruity aroma of sweet orange. It has been very popular with people in the Seven Kingdoms of Snow China over the years. I heard that some of them even shipped to In the distant Eastern Continent, the Plantagenet Dynasty."

"So, what about the cooperation after that?"

"It was okay at first, but they didn't want to keep relying on us for purchases. Later, they built their own orange manor, and this year's purchases are also a little less than in previous years."

While Lorraine Hill and Chelsea were talking about the Nissos family, the destination finally arrived.

The gate of Nissos' house is very large. On the tall black iron fence gate, the iron bars are beautiful in lines. Not all of them are vertical. In the middle is a pattern, a sloping wine bottle with liquid in it. Flowing out, the bottle has the appearance of grapes, showing that Nissos first started with wine.

The lively gated courtyard was filled with waiters, who guided the visiting carriages to the designated positions, and then announced to welcome the distinguished guests.

"Projo's house, Mrs. Michele is here~"

"Blanc Cross Sword, Master Helang is here~"

As the carriage where Lorraine Hill was in entered the gate, the sound of welcome sounded again.

"Karites Chamber of Commerce, Miss Lacey is here~"

As the waiter shouted, a housekeeper in the courtyard rushed over and directed his carriage to park in a wide and bright place.

After the guests heard the waiter's welcome, they also turned around to look at the carriage with the lacquer night flower pattern.

The head maid Chelsea got out of the car first, opened the door, and then Lorraine Hill walked out with her skirt on, she didn't need someone to help her.

A long skirt as bright as flames, with red lacquer night flowers blooming on the skirt, and the upper body is more closed, which outlines the slender figure of the girl, the collar shows very little V-shaped lotus collar, and the cuffs are slightly wider, such as The petals are in full bloom, and the hands are white lace gloves.

A long golden hair shone under the light, and the air bangs was a dreamlike face, and the hair ends on the chest had slight waves, which added a little bit of cuteness to the world.

As soon as Roland Hill appeared on the stage, he firmly attracted the attention of everyone present, like a huge magnet, and the pair of transparent blue pupils, the eyelashes blinked like water, and the soul jumped with it. She seems to be a legend that came to the world from a mythical picture scroll.

The entire courtyard fell into a brief silence, making people outside and in the mansion curious about what happened.

In the quiet courtyard, the housekeeper of the Nissos family led the way for Roland Hill. At the same time, several waiters quickly entered the hall to inform the owner of the house and make other preparations.

Felton, the eldest son of the Nissos family, came to meet him at the door. First, to show respect, and secondly, he was also a little curious about the new owner of Karites, Miss Lacey, who had never appeared in Hopelander. What is it like.There have been rumors that she is a peerless girl, but the rumors are so unbelievable that he wants to see it in person.

As the fiery red dress stepped into the hall, Finerton swore that if he hadn't married yet, he would be the lady's most faithful suitor.That thrilling appearance, that demure and clear eyes, that beautiful and perfect figure, are all rare treasures, unforgettable and unforgettable for a lifetime.

It's a pity that he has children now, and he is a little old.

"Welcome to Miss Lacey. Next is Felton of the Nissos family."

The eldest son of the Nissos family was wearing a white dress with a slightly plump figure, with a small family crest and a sloping wine bottle pinned to the white dress.

According to etiquette, Lorraine Hill, that is, Lacey, should reach out and ask her to kiss and salute at this time, but she didn't want to. She just put her hand on her waist. It is the prerogative of unmarried girls, as is the case in some conservative areas.

"Hello, Mr. Felton, I'm Lacey. I've just arrived in Vergar recently. I'm a little uncomfortable for a while. I'm sorry I didn't accept your banquet invitation until today."

"It doesn't matter, as long as Miss Lacey can come, I will be very happy." Felton's words are not polite, who doesn't like to see beautiful girls.

At this time, the waiter's welcome sound came from outside the hall.

"The Anemii Chamber of Commerce, Miss Kauna is here~"

Chapter 67 The Five Families

Feng Nai, the eldest lady of the Anemii family, came in from outside the hall. She has long light red hair in a big wave spiral. The bright yellow skirt is a very distinctive Rococo style. Very fluffy, the pleated skirt on the skirt is layer after layer, and there are light red flowers of the same color as the hair, silk ribbons, etc., the whole person is like a proud and luxurious peacock.

If Lorraine Hill is a dream that is not like the world, then the wind at this moment is the ultimate in the world. As soon as she entered the hall, she saw the prominent Miss Lacey, walking over with a long skirt, the maid behind Seeing her walking in such a hurry, Penny was a little worried about stumbling and falling.

"Hello, I'm Kauna of Anemii, nice to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Lacey from Carrites." Roland Hill gave a slight salute, her transparent pupils were a little surprised. I didn't expect to meet this Anemii's eldest lady here today.

But the surprises are always one after another, and with the welcome sound of the waiters outside, there is another wave of climax at this moment.

"Helis Chamber of Commerce, Miss Meilu and Master Bell are here~"

A 17-year-old girl led her younger brother into the venue. She was wearing a simple light green dress and had long chestnut blond hair. The boy next to her was about 14-15 years old and was wearing a white dress with gold accents on it. Silk pattern.

"Mei Lu, you're here too." Feng Nai waved and said hello, it seemed that they were also familiar with each other.

Felton first welcomed the arrival of several eldest ladies, and then introduced each other to get to know each other. Later, many guests came in. The host of the banquet was not allowed to withdraw to welcome them, leaving only a few eldest ladies to chat together.

"Bell, go find a friend to play with."

Mei Lu let go of her hand and let her younger brother Bell move freely. The boy soon went to another corner of the banquet with his peers, and several attendants followed behind secretly to prevent accidents.

The three eldest young ladies were sitting in a corner of the lively hall. In fact, many guests noticed it. It was just that the identity and appearance of these three girls were extraordinary. Others who wanted to contact them would also be stopped by the waiters not far away. Down.

"It seems that this is our first time meeting, Miss Lacey." Meru smiled at Lacey, who is also Lorraine Hill.

"Well, I just took over the Chamber of Commerce, and I'm sorry that I only took the time to meet with you now." Lacey also smiled back and explained. (Lacie is used to refer to Lorraine Hill)

Meru is the eldest daughter of the Helis family. Helis and Carites have a lot of intersections and are close to each other. The owner of Heliss once joked to Angus and said, if you have a son, I can Marry your daughter.Although it is a temporary joke, it also shows that the two are indeed closely related.

When he was at the Yagtilin family, Jelink also said that if he encounters some difficulties in Hopelander, he can find the Helis family to cooperate. The Helis family has always been kind and loyal, and has a very good reputation.

"Hey, are you ignoring me?" Feng Nai saw Lacey and Mei Lu chatting happily on the side.

"No, Feng Nai, haven't you been talking beside me all the time?" Mei Lu smiled slightly, but under her seemingly beautiful and gentle appearance, there was a little black belly hidden.

"Mei Lu, you bully me again, don't take me to play every time~" Feng Nai's mouth pouted slightly, and Mei Lu's light laughter was heard next to her.

Lacey looked at the two girls in front of her and asked curiously, "Did you know each other since childhood?"

"Yes, Feng Nai and I are basically the same age. Hopelander's circle is not large, so we have known each other very early, but she likes lively things, while I am quieter." Mei Lu held a cup He touched the lemon juice with ice cubes, and Feng Nao's glass, and took a sip.

"Mei Lu has loved to read since she was a child, and sometimes told me ghost stories to scare me. Don't be deceived by her gentle appearance. She is a woman with a deep heart." Feng Nai whispered to smear his friend.

"Feng Nai, you speak ill of me again, obviously you are too stupid."

"Oh, I'm not stupid, I just don't like studying." Feng Nai protested weakly.

Just as the young ladies were chatting, the last heavyweight guest arrived.

"Tisifone's house, Mr. Adeley is here~"

At this point, the five major chambers of commerce in Hopelander, that is, the younger generation of the five major families, finally gathered together.

They are the Nissos family with the slanted wine bottle as their family crest. They mainly deal in various wines, occupy 40% of the Xuehua seven countries, and sell them overseas.

The Anemii family, whose family emblem is composed of seven-colored gemstones, mainly deals in various flowers, gemstones, and jewelry. Among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua, nearly half of the luxury jewelry comes from their family.

With yellow and green camellia as its family crest, the Helis family mainly deals in tea, coffee, sugar, and spices, and supplies nearly 60% of high-end beverages in the southern and western parts of the mainland.

With black petals, purple stamens and lacquer night flowers as the family crest, the Karites family mainly deals in lumber, citrus, cotton spinning, and shipbuilding. Nearly 30% of the ships in Vergane are built by them, and they have the first shipbuilding in the alliance. craft.

Finally, there is the Tisifone family with a dagger pierced through a skeleton. They mainly deal in weapons, bow materials, whale oil, etc. 20% of the weapons in the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua are supplied for them.

Among them, the Helis family and the Carrites family had exchanged in the early years. In order to avoid too fierce competition, the Carrites family gave up the spice industry and handed over the spice route of the Youngberry Kingdom to Helis.In exchange, Helis transferred to Karites a large number of forest farms and citrus estates under his name.

Since then, Karites has focused on the shipbuilding industry, while Helis has gained control of the beverage and spice industry in the Seven Kingdoms of Xuehua.The lacquer night flower is a rare flower in the southern archipelago. It has extraordinary functions and is an extremely precious spice. This is also the origin of Karites' fortune and the origin of the family emblem.

At this time, a somewhat cynical young man walked into the hall. He was wearing a big brim and a tight-fitting dress. The style was similar to the navy, mainly white and blue. The muscular and sexy appearance caused many women in the arena to scream.

After coming in, he directly glanced at the scene in the hall, simply said hello to Felton, and walked towards Lacey's table with broad steps.A lot of nympho girls next to him wanted to say hello to him, but they were pulled away by him, and the girls who were held down by their shoulders showed fascinated star eyes, as if they were about to faint with excitement.

After walking to Lacey's table, he bowed his head in a salute, then raised his head with a wanton smile.

"My beautiful ladies, my name is Edley, can I ask you to be your next wife?"

Chapter 68 Conversation at a Banquet

"Edley!"

Feng Nai poured the sake in the cup directly on his face, the aroma of the wine spread in the air, he opened his eyes, the smile on his face did not disappear, as if he was used to it, he stretched out his hand, a servant Immediately handed a clean towel, after drying, pull out the chair and sit down casually.
