Chapter 99: The Mysterious Chamber of Commerce in the West



"Master Lanli, is it the Master Lanli from Hopeland?" Loran Hill asked with a surprised expression.

"Yes, this master is a leader in the music world. He is also good friends with two generations of world-famous Cang singers. He is a household name." When he saw Roland Hill exclaim, a smile appeared on his face and he continued to explain.

"Then I want to buy this." Loran Hill blinked. In fact, she was also a little curious about what improvements Lanlier had made to achieve a breakthrough of more than 200 tones.

"We only have three samples of this 'Canary' musical windmill so far, so it might be hard to lower the price. However, since you are our first customer, we can offer you a discount for promotional purposes. You can purchase it for just 24 gold coins."

"24 gold coins, so expensive." Loran Hill was slightly shocked. This price could buy a house in the small town of Clancia.

"Because it is difficult to make, the price is indeed not affordable. Please forgive me." The man still had a smile on his face, as if he believed that the lady in front of him could afford this musical windmill.

"Then I'd better take a look." Loran Hill shook his head slightly, indicating that he still needed to think carefully.

"Okay." He continued to walk in front to introduce Loran Hill.

"This is the most advanced magic steam turbine model currently available in Clancia. Its efficiency and power far exceed those ordinary goods sold on the street outside, and we also provide a one-year warranty service. I believe this is the first time you have heard of this kind of service, but this is our trust and pride in the quality of our products. It can not only be used for large ships and airships, but also for many industrial equipment. It can become an excellent and stable power source, which gives you an advantage in the competition with your opponents." I have to admit that this man is indeed a great salesperson. If Loran Hill hadn't known that this was his own product, he might have been tempted.

"This row contains special potions called 'Beauty Under the Moon'. It contains four detoxifying and cleansing potions, three whitening and slimming potions, and two youth potions. They can make you even more beautiful and attractive..."

"This is a 'Black Rain'-grade mechanical crossbow. It's a perfect golden creation. The 24 Blood Blade-enchanted crossbow bolts it comes with can easily break through the defenses of a sixth-tier demonic beast. It's silent when fired and easy to use, so even a seven-year-old child can operate it. It's named 'Black Rain' in commemoration of the story of our guild's eldest daughter, who defeated the enemy assassin cavalry that attacked her in 1684 of the Third Era and became famous in Hopeland. It's said that it was raining that night, and the enemy was a powerful cavalry clad entirely in black."

"The eldest lady of your Chamber of Commerce sounds scary." Loran Hill bit his lip lightly, wondering who came up with this name.

"No, no, no. Although it sounds like a very dangerous scene, the eldest daughter of our Chamber of Commerce is indeed a gentle and beautiful girl. That battle was also unavoidable. After the war, the eldest daughter forgave some of the people who attacked her and did not kill them." But they went to jail and labor, Loran Hill blinked.

Seeing that the witch girl in the black hat and black skirt didn't seem very interested in this weapon, the man led Loranhill to the side again. There was a special exhibition stand in the corner of the hall, surrounded by red ropes to block people.

"Our Chamber of Commerce doesn't sell many clothing and jewelry, but the styles are very suitable for you, Miss Witch. I'm sure you will have some ideas after seeing this painting." Seeing that he spoke so confidently, Loran Hill became a little curious.

"Really?"

The man then crossed the rope and carefully removed the velvet curtain from the painting, revealing the dreamy and soft picture inside.

The background of the oil painting is a dark room with a half-open window, the light from which falls on a girl sitting on a wooden chair. The girl's head is slightly tilted, her pupils are like black smoky crystals, which seem to tell a thousand words. She is wearing an intricate black and red dress, with her hands lightly placed in front of her. One side of her cheek is illuminated by the sun, while the other is in shadow, which perfectly sets off the girl's fair and delicate skin. Some dust particles are carefully painted in the light, giving the picture a hazy and dreamy beauty.

This painting... Loran Hill opened his mouth slightly.

She knew at once that it was herself in the painting, but why was she here?

There seemed to be quite a few portraits and statues of herself in Clansia and the Empire, but in fact most of them were painted based on the images in some photo stones. The fact that Loranhill actually sat in front of the painter and had him paint her portrait only happened once. That was when she was enrolled in Emenas. Because she did not have enough money to buy clothes in Servis's store, she asked the other party to leave a painting for her.

Servis had originally agreed not to allow the painting to be circulated casually, but why did it appear here? In addition, did the people in the Carites Chamber of Commerce really not know that the person in the painting was themselves? In fact, many of her identities were gradually exposed later. It is hard to say that Lorraine's identity as a student in Emenas was not guessed by others later.

"What's in this painting?" Loran Hill asked in a low voice, lowering the brim of his hat slightly.

"The person in the painting is our Chamber of Commerce's eldest daughter, Lacey." His voice softened unusually, and he looked at the painting with admiration.

After a while, he turned around and introduced to Loran Hill the legendary head of his own chamber of commerce and the ups and downs of Carites' fate.

"...Since then, although Miss Lacey is no longer with the Chamber of Commerce, her appearance, voice, and legacy have been passed down and preserved."
