After unloading the cargo, Carites' fleet returned, and there were about 500 people left to transport the goods, most of whom were craftsmen, and a small number were guards and trade personnel from the Chamber of Commerce.
Although there was storage space, there were still many goods that needed to be transported by carriages. However, the caravan was very long, with about 50 carriages lined up in a long line, moving on the undulating mountain road, like ants moving, submerged in the green sea of trees.
It took about a week to cross the coastal provinces, and by then we were back in the Blue Province.
After stopping in Ladored, everyone was finally able to rest for two days. The facilities here were complete, with sufficient food and water, and it was also a relatively stable area. Unlike some provinces, the nobles were particularly harsh on the caravans coming and going.
"Nice to meet you again, Miss Messiah." In the reception room of the mansion, Loran Hill brought Luna to entertain the local tycoon.
"Hello, Mr. Kureya..." The girl was sitting on the sofa, and the maids brought her hot tea.
"I didn't expect Miss Messia's caravan to arrive so soon. It's truly astonishing." Kureya picked up the tea, blew on it gently, and then took a small sip. He looked satisfied, as if he was quite impressed by the tea.
Of course, this is an extraordinary tea produced in the Tixilan Mountains, and it is naturally a rare and high-quality product.
After a brief greeting between the two, Loran Hill asked the businessman why he came.
"I wonder what kind of cooperation Mr. Kureya is here to discuss this time."
"It's not necessarily a business matter, I'm just a little interested and curious, and I want to befriend Miss Messiah." He didn't hide his thoughts, his posture relaxed and composed.
"Miss Messiah, if you encounter any trouble while trading in the southern border, you can come to me. I think I can still help you."
"So what do you need?" Loran Hill looked at the man. He didn't look like the kind of person who was obsessed with women or irrational.
"Of course, we also have some demands, that is, compared with other chambers of commerce, we hope to have priority in purchasing and procurement."
"This...is not a big problem." Because now the only special thing hanging under the 'Black Rabbit' Chamber of Commerce is the fabric.
"Hahaha, I know Miss Messia is still quite surprised and confused, but please believe me, there is truly no malicious intent."
After that, Mr. Curea chatted for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
"I wonder if Miss Messiah is free tomorrow. A few friends and I have prepared a banquet for you."
Hearing this invitation, Loran Hill thought about it briefly and then nodded in agreement.
"Then I look forward to your arrival." After saying that, the tall man picked up the hat in his hand and put it on, waved his hand, and walked out of the courtyard where he lived temporarily.
The living room fell silent. Luna looked at the departing figure and asked curiously, "Has this man worked with us before?"
"Actually, I've only met him twice. I signed contracts with quite a few people at that time." The girl shook her head. She couldn't figure out what the purpose of Kureya's invitation was for the time being, but she wasn't afraid.
"Let's get ready tomorrow. Luna, come with me."
"...Oh, me?" The blonde lady blinked and nodded.
"Okay, I see." Compared to Loran Hill, Luna is actually more like the eldest daughter of the Chamber of Commerce.
Although this sole surviving descendant of the Filaru Chamber of Commerce did not inherit the legacy of the previous chamber, he had seen and understood a lot about the internal situation of Carites during his years in the Southern Islands and was no stranger to certain business practices.
"Actually, it's because I'm often busy and can't get away, so I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to help with business-related matters in the future." Loran Hill looked at the grown-up girl and felt a little emotional.
Time flies.
"I would be proud if I could help Sister Loran." Luna said she didn't care, smiled, and then asked Loran Hill for the details of the previous contract.

The next day at noon, in Kureya's mansion.
The clear pool water has a light blue color and sways in the sunlight. Not far from the pool, there are several tables placed on the grass, with various fruits and snacks on them, which are very exquisite.
Several guests were chatting happily. They sat casually under the white parasols, drinking cool and sweet juice or tea.
"Haha, how's it going, Miss Messia, are you used to it?"
Wearing loose clothes, the big businessman sat under a parasol by the pool and waved to Loran Hill.
As he approached, the girl sat down and the two of them continued their conversation at the white round table.
"The scenery and environment here are indeed beautiful." Loran Hill briefly praised, and then the big businessman smiled and nodded.
"It's an honor to receive Miss Messia's praise..."
...
"Actually, I came here this time to ask if you have any ideas about trading other goods of your chamber of commerce. I know this is very impolite, but there is no other good way." He apologized first, and then explained his purpose.
So it turned out that they discovered those extraordinary fruits on the caravan carriages?
Despite trying to eliminate the magic power and isolate it from detection, it was still discovered unexpectedly. Perhaps it was quite difficult for so many special fruits to be discovered only now.
