From now on, the vampire girl escapes from the world

Only the magician and the director know the truth.

"Xiland Business Association?" After seeing off the timid people.

Ai'er decided to go to the Soller Chamber of Commerce headquarters in person.

48. Buyer

The commercial association enjoys an absolute protective status under the Marquisate.

That is also the fundamental reason why the Marquisate did not decline in the tide of the times, but instead made further progress.

Many years ago, Soller City was only based on its unique location as a distribution center for materials in the forest border town circle, relying on the adventurer's union and magician-related industries. The former Marquisate of Nuremberg was not important. The population was scarce under the rough terrain, and it was even often attacked by monsters.

The previous Marquis of Nürnberg, Mr. Clifford Nürnberg, often lacked communication with nobles of the same generation when he was young, but he also came into contact with quite a lot of "local rituals" in the territory. Those rituals were complicated to draw, difficult to interpret, and had low precision. Most of the plates were made up of insignificant components, but there were many clever ideas. When he grew up a little, Marquis Clifford went to the empire in the north to study and further his studies, and thus came into contact with some of the cutting-edge magic edges of the continent at that time. What surprised the Marquis was that the main plates of those "local rituals" that were still considered clever by his family had already been thoroughly disassembled in cutting-edge research. The Marquis in the empire came into contact with new materials and new ideas about magic, and thought of those "local rituals" in his hometown - those people should not have spent so much energy on things that already existed.

At that time, classical jurisprudence still dominated the world, but some professors had begun to put forward some quite radical views, which greatly touched Clifford. The future might be an era of integration, and magic would no longer be a legacy passed down from generation to generation with pens and scrolls, or a product of experiments created bit by bit by wandering adventurers.

Magic will become knowledge, not an asset.

This view seems too unrealistic even now, because humans cannot decide their own development direction. However, the changes brought about by the progress of magic are gradually eroding people's vision.

A large number of merchants made a lot of money with the goods brought by the new technology; merchants in Xilanerde were absolutely not welcome, but merchants in the empire already had the aura of nobility. The Marquis also heard many stories about the local nobles who were in trouble.

Margrave of Nuremberg, perhaps it's time for a change.

The Marquis used a lot of his assets to introduce new technologies from the Empire, and joined some local merchants to establish his own chamber of commerce, the "Nuremberg Union". At the same time, he used some power and tricks to merge with many local guilds. The community formed by the guilds has an unimaginable power. The Chamber of Commerce grew stronger and stronger, and later, as one of the initial participants, it joined neighboring countries and regions to establish the "South Continent Business Network Alliance". The chambers of commerce that signed the covenant can get assistance in various regions, and have also absorbed a lot of magician resources from various places. There are also many chambers of commerce that deal with the royal families of various countries.

Ensuring the safety of goods is also one of the contents of the trade association. At least the existence of the trade association will not allow goods to be easily stolen or run away.

And that little orc seemed to be the Chamber of Commerce's key protected target.

If it was an ordinary human slave, at most they would be branded under their skin or tied up with chains. Only valuable slaves like Coco would be expended with what humans would consider to be a huge technical effort—stuffing a mark into their stomachs that would never get lost.

Although Ai'er still felt quite uncomfortable with such behavior.

Things you like always have shortcomings that you hate.

In El's opinion, the same is true for humans.

"…Sir, this is it."

The Chamber of Commerce is not far from the Duke's Palace.

Leading the way was the magician who had just come to capture Coco.

Perhaps it was because he had faced such a monster before that he had a sense of escaping death. The man never dared to relax towards the delicate and petite girl beside him.

"Elves..."

The man suppressed the panic in his heart a little.

I hope the Marquisate won't have any conflict with this elf...

Not paying much attention to the human next to her, Ai'er stroked her small pointed ears. She sighed, walked up the stairs and entered the hall.

The woman at the counter looked up. Her bangs were lifted high in front of her forehead, and the hem of her uniform was simple yet stylish.

When the woman saw the magician behind the little blonde girl who came in, she frowned slightly and realized that something seemed to have happened.

"This guest? What can I do for you?"

Elle threw the small cube in her hand onto the counter table.

The light brown object rolled a few times on the table and stopped. From the asymmetrical cut corners and rough cut surface, it can be seen that the craftsmanship is not perfect. But there is no doubt that a lot of effort has been put into the technology.

That was what Lily took out of Coco's stomach.

It seemed to have been cleaned up. There was no trace of blood left among the rough edges and scratches.

There were some faint words engraved on the uneven surface.

"No. AA12H468G. Can you help me contact the buyer for this product?"

The number starts with AA.

The woman was startled and realized who the item belonged to.

"how do you……"

Before the other party could vent all his panic, Ai'er lifted her hair unconsciously.

Showing her little pointed ears.

The woman stopped talking in a hurry.

"Do as she says."

The man behind him spoke silently.

"senior……?"

From here on, this is no longer an area that ordinary magicians can venture into.

After all, for them, the buyer of this product...is not someone who can be provoked.

After the man made this judgment, he decided to leave everything to the person involved.

"Then, I'll help you contact..."

"No need. I can do it myself."

“Ms. Nürnberg…?”

Ai'er turned around following the girl's voice.

The owner of the voice had just come in from outside, and there seemed to be a personal guard outside the door.

The girl looked to be no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, with light brown hair and a slender body dressed in a dark red dress.

His narrow eyes only opened slightly the moment he saw Ai'er, and his tone seemed a little lazy, but respectful and not deliberate:

"Is this Miss Elle? Hello."

"……Hello."

The girl bends down and lifts her skirt slightly:

"I am the daughter of the Marquis, Nürnberg Shalom. I am also the buyer of this item."

……

The buyer is the Marquis’ daughter.

Ai'er frowned slightly:

"you know me?"

"My Lord Elf, I am sorry for not coming to greet you. Please forgive me."

She didn't seem ready to explain.

But it seemed that the other party had already known his identity as an elf.

Although she had many doubts, Ai'er had no intention of going too deep into it.

After all, humans are humans, and elves are elves.

Ai'er said, "...Since you are the buyer of this item, would it be convenient for you to give it to me? Of course, I will give Mr. Marquis some corresponding compensation."

"If it's what the Elf wants, then I'll give it to you." The girl smiled politely and changed the subject:

"But if it's this item, it might be difficult to give it to you."

49.Tail

Elle frowned.

The other party neither agreed nor put forward any further conditions.

"Yes, Miss, do you mean you don't want to give it to me? Or do you want money? Or something else?..."

"That's not my intention." Shalom quickly replied:

"I mean - this is not something I can decide."

"...Please explain in detail."

The Marquis's daughter bowed slightly:

"If Master Ai'er is not busy... why not wait in the city for two days - someone will come to find you later."

"Someone is——"
