The carriage traveled through the broken streets. The usually smooth road was occasionally bumped by stones. The convoy carrying the Yagtilin family finally stopped in front of a courtyard. This was the branch of the Yagtilin Chamber of Commerce in Hopeland.

When the servants inside the gate saw the familiar logo and personnel of their own company, they hurriedly opened the gate wrapped with iron chains, allowing the convoy to enter.

At the Chamber of Commerce dinner, Patriarch Jelinek sat at the head of the table, flanked by his sons and daughters. Originally, his trip to Hopeland was to attend to Chamber of Commerce matters, and also to Rachel's wedding.

He had previously agreed with Master Helang of the White Cross Sword faction in Hopeland to hold the wedding around the spring or summer of next year. Although Jelinek has several sons, he only has one daughter. In addition, this marriage is also for the benefit of the family. He feels a little guilty towards Rachel, so he wants to bring her here first to adapt and date with the White Cross Sword faction's Pianel for a while to see if they are suitable for each other. Only then can he marry Rachel off with confidence.

Otherwise, if she entrusted her trust to the wrong person, Rachel would have to suffer for the rest of her life, which was something he didn't want to see.

"Daniel, you've been staying in Hopeland. Do you know the specific cause of this incident?"

A young man with short dark blue hair sat at the bottom. He was Rachel's second brother Daniel, who had been in charge of the Hopeland branch.

After a brief hesitation, he spoke, "I don't know the specifics. Last night, the five major chambers of commerce in Hopeland suddenly split into two factions. Initially, the two sides were merely opposing each other, but then a violent conflict ensued, resulting in numerous casualties. Later, the Carites' fleet returned and bombarded the Tisiphone and Anemye families. Then, the Helis family threatened to burn down the entire city. Finally, an alchemist from Lurna intervened and stopped both sides."

"Is that alchemist very powerful?"

"Well, he himself has the strength of Sequence 6, and the giant golem he controls is close to Sequence 7. It's extremely powerful."

When he said this, a hint of fanaticism flashed in Daniel's eyes and tone.

Sequence 7 is a huge hurdle compared to Sequence 6. Countless people have found it difficult to advance to this level in their entire lives. Even the former Blue Songstress Filia only reached Sequence 6.

After asking some more questions, Jelinek decided to visit the Carites Chamber of Commerce tomorrow to meet Lacey's 'niece'.

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

Inside the building of Carites, white stone bricks are placed under the purple roof. Patrolling guards walk by from time to time outside the quiet building. Even on the first floor, there are two teams of guards on standby.

After hearing about the experience of the Helis family, Carites also strengthened his defenses, but this was just icing on the cake. Loran Hill had checked the family for traitors several times before. Without an insider, it would be difficult for outsiders to launch a surprise attack.

The curtains in the bedroom were drawn and the door was closed.

Loran Hill sat on the bed in pure white pajamas, her silver hair hanging on the soft quilt, and her crimson eyes shone brightly in the dark night, like shining stars.

Countless free red light particles floated around her, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, as if following some kind of pattern.

Finally, this mission is about to be completed. She whispered to herself, a sense of anticipation rising in her heart.

As the task progress bar reached the end, a burst of light appeared in the system, and then the task rewards began to be distributed.

[Chaos Ring Production Manual] (Crystal Grade): This ring has excellent aura-blocking capabilities, which can suppress one's own presence and reduce the strength perceived by others. It also comes with 3,000 cubic meters of storage space.

Very good, the next step is advancement, his shining eyes were filled with joy.

Her body slowly floated up, and the light particles suspended around her gradually dispersed. Then, with these light particles as nodes, a thin layer of red light film emerged in the bedroom and wrapped it, followed by another layer of light film. After seven or eight layers were stacked, she began to advance with confidence, otherwise the violent fluctuations of magic power would be noticed by all the extraordinary people in the city.

The body wrapped in the red gem began to shine, and the extraordinary core within the consciousness began to loosen, slowly blooming like a flower bud. New lines began to be outlined and engraved on its red crystal, and then the special magic power condensed in the hourglass that had accumulated before began to merge into it, forming exquisite and complex lines, layer after layer, until it finally took shape.

After a long time, the moon outside the window had slid down from the branches, and the red gem in the dark bedroom slowly dissipated, revealing the girl wrapped inside. She slowly stretched her body, her silver hair fluttering in the air, and then she opened her ruby-like eyes and looked at this completely different world with a new look.

Even in a dark bedroom, she could easily see every speck of dust, even the micron-level fine lines on a wooden chair 10 meters away, and could clearly hear the voices and breathing of people in the entire building.

The fingertips lightly drew a red light in the air, and the wooden chair in front of the dressing table slowly slid down, revealing an extremely smooth cross-section. An inconspicuous crack also appeared on the wall behind it, leading directly to the balcony outside the bedroom.

Loran Hill blinked, and his own information reappeared.
