This is a Knight Continent ravaged by war.
Giant dragons soar through the sky, humans are the masters of the lan...
Christina feels like she's living a dream lately.
The Oats family suffered a tragic disaster. Her two brothers and father were kidnapped by Marquis Daniel and tortured madly.
After finally getting himself released, he was kidnapped by other forces.
It was through this incident that she learned that her beloved brother had become a viscount.
And he also became a strong man at the level of Earth Knight!
This makes her feel extremely proud and honored.
Once upon a time, when her family was still living in Waterdeep, being a formal knight had already made her feel very powerful.
But now that she had arrived at Amethyst Island, she realized that formal knights were not uncommon.
Take the Dragon's Breath Knights who are responsible for guarding the castle, for example. They have more than 20 official knights, including three powerful grand knights.
These people were usually high-ranking and arrogant figures, but at this moment, when facing Krober, they had to lower their proud heads, salute respectfully, and respectfully call his younger brother "Sir".
This sudden contrast made it difficult for Christina to adapt for a while.
However, while enjoying all this, Christina gradually fell into deep distress.
Because she found that she seemed unable to provide any substantial help to her brother.
She was far inferior to Kroeber in both strength and politics.
In terms of strength, her talent in chivalry is not outstanding, and can even be said to be extremely mediocre.
Moreover, because she had lived in a small place like Deepwater Territory before and lacked sufficient resource support, even though she was over 20 years old now, she was still only at the level of a beginner knight.
As for politics, she knew nothing about it.
Even attending an ordinary banquet would make her feel extremely nervous, and the topics discussed by those ladies in gorgeous clothes were like listening to a foreign language, completely confusing to her.
Although these people continued to flatter and curry favor with her out of awe of Krober's power, this behavior only made her own embarrassment and awkwardness more prominent.
Just as she was trying to ease her embarrassment by eating, a maid hurriedly found her and told her that Krober was waiting for her at the door.
After hearing this news, Christina couldn't help but frowned and asked doubtfully:
"Krober, why did he come to see me? Shouldn't there be a banquet going on in front now?"
She muttered to herself, but decided to go see what was going on.
So she stood up from her seat, told everyone that she had to leave temporarily for something, and followed the servant to the door of the back garden.
Along the way, Christina was full of questions and curiosity.
She didn't know why Krober suddenly came to her, and chose this time.
Is there something important to tell her?
Are they going to marry her off to someone else as a political marriage?
Or is there any other reason?
After the painful days before, she is now used to thinking about everything in a bad way.
When she reached the gate to the back garden, she saw Kroeber standing there.
His expression looked relaxed, which made Christina, who was originally feeling a little heavy, feel relieved. At least it didn't look like a bad thing.
She slowly walked up to Krober, a faint smile on her face, and said softly:
"Krober, what do you want from me?"
Krober raised his head, looked at his sister in front of him, and smiled.
He took a deep breath and then said:
“Well… Actually, I plan to establish a chamber of commerce to be responsible for external trade and material supply within our territory.
However, I am very cautious about the selection of the head of this chamber of commerce because it involves many important responsibilities and interests.
I want to know your opinion and see if you are willing to get involved and take on this responsibility."
When Christina heard this, a look of interest appeared on her face, but when she thought of her own abilities, she gave up the idea.
Christina took a deep breath and looked at Krober in front of her:
"Forget it, Krober, I'm not rejecting your proposal, but I feel that with my abilities, I'm afraid I can't help you manage such a large chamber of commerce.
Furthermore, your Chamber of Commerce is so important, I'm afraid of causing you too much loss."
There was a hint of helplessness and worry in her voice. After all, managing such a large chamber of commerce was indeed beyond her ability at the moment.
However, Krober was not surprised by what Christina said, because he knew very well that Christina was not ready to manage the Chamber of Commerce, and he would not let Christina manage the Chamber of Commerce directly in this state.
In fact, he had already found a perfect solution for Christina, which would be implemented when the time was right.
Krober smiled slightly and said firmly:
“I’ve told Samuel that after we recruit new magicians, we will set up a magician training institution specifically for one with strong theoretical knowledge.
This way, you will have the opportunity to systematically learn magical knowledge and techniques and improve your own strength."
Then, he paused and continued:
“But before that, you can first learn some basic knowledge and meditation methods from Samuel to lay a solid foundation.
When you break through to the level of magician, you can try to participate in the management of the Chamber of Commerce.
Before that, I will still be in charge of the Purple Crystal Chamber of Commerce, so you don't need to worry."
After hearing Krober's arrangements, Christina's worries gradually dissipated, replaced by full gratitude and anticipation.
She knew that this was Krober's trust and support for her, and also a rare opportunity for her growth.
So she nodded vigorously, indicating that she accepted Kroeber's advice and was determined to study hard and live up to his expectations.
Seeing Christina agreed, Krober nodded.
"Continue to enjoy the banquet. When you become a magic apprentice, I'm afraid it won't be as relaxing and comfortable as it is now."
Now that the business was over, Krober planned to leave.
"Okay, go get busy."
Christina stared at Krober's back for a while, then lowered her head and smiled happily.
"That's great. Krober still cares about me."
Although she felt very happy when she was rescued from Red Crab Island, she always felt that there was a sad and thick barrier between her and Krober.
It's not that there's a problem with the relationship between the two, it's just that the gap between Krober's strength and status is too big compared to hers, which makes her feel inferior, so she has this feeling.
Now, after learning that Krober had found a magic teacher for her and asked her to help manage the Chamber of Commerce, she couldn't help but feel much better.
