Oh no, Claire! She must have secretly painted my nails while I was sleeping!

Elliot saw the embarrassment of the 'girl' and he understood it very well.

Although he is the boss, he receives guests as often as his employees.

It was obvious at a glance that the girl was too nervous to express her needs.

Elliot then turned back to pour drinks for the customers.

"Are you of age? Can you drink?"

"Ah... sure, I'm an adult."

As he turned his back to pour the wine, Elliot unbuttoned the first two buttons of his suit shirt.

Such a small change can make you more easy-going and approachable.

Everything went as Elliot expected. The 'girl' took the glass and was no longer nervous after taking a sip.

"What's your name?"

"My name is Favia."

"Okay, Miss Favia, what do you want to know? Would you like to try out the new magic potion for spell construction and amplification launched by our Chamber of Commerce?"

"I want to know all the potions you have here, including their functions and prices."

Faro spoke up.

Elliot then began to speak in a fluent and professional tone:

"Let me introduce you to the latest amplification potion launched by our Chamber of Commerce. It can enhance the caster's magical perception and clear the brain to construct a spell..."

After he introduced a lot of products, Faro couldn't help wondering:

"I just walked past a lot of booths, and your potions seem a little too cheap in comparison."

"This is because our family has access to cheap spiritual materials, and the structure of the Chamber of Commerce is more streamlined than others, so the cost is much lower. However, the efficacy of the medicine will definitely not be compromised, so please rest assured."

Faro was even more confused.

"Shouldn't the purchase price of spiritual materials be frighteningly high? Does your boss have the ability to get cheap materials?"

Elliot sighed.

"In fact, the cost of growing spiritual materials is not high. The reason why it is so expensive now is completely due to other reasons. I can guarantee that spiritual materials and their derivative products are definitely not worth the current price."

In fact, due to lack of knowledge, laymen generally believe that spiritual materials and potions should be so expensive.

Anyone in the industry who is slightly smarter can analyze that the Chamber of Commerce is monopolizing the material channels and arbitrarily raising prices for speculation.

However, only those who are truly behind the scenes like Elliot know.

——It is the Parliament itself that prevents the price of spiritual materials from falling.

If Elliot hadn't risked his life and deliberately gone against Parliament, I would have sold it at a normal price if they had sold it at a premium.

Otherwise, he might not know that these are actually just the games of the Council of the Arcane Ring.

The parliament that claims to be fair, progressive and open is in fact the most pedantic, dirty and greedy group of people.

As for customers asking questions, even if Elliot explains, they may not believe it.

So Elliot no longer expected them to understand these things, as long as they didn't think that the quality of his potions was problematic because of their low prices.

But he had been waiting here for a whole day, and Favia was the first customer to step into his booth.

It is conceivable that most of the invited guests have been asked by those old guys:

Don't visit his exhibition.

Elliot had experienced this kind of despicable tactics more than once.

Favia put her left arm around her chest and supported her chin with her right hand.

After a moment of silence, he said:

"Is there a possibility?"

"The high prices of materials are caused by other chambers of commerce raising prices recklessly."

Faro himself also runs several chambers of commerce, and the Walsh family's potion industry is quite large.

So he could easily think of this kind of thing.

Elliot's eyes sparkled.

"You actually know this inside information. Did someone leak it to you?"

Favia shook her head.

"In fact, I run a few chambers of commerce myself, and I have done some research on the potion market, so I can deduce it myself."

"This time, I originally wanted to find a chamber of commerce to seek cooperation, but other people didn't seem to welcome me."

The 'girl' rubbed her head in distress.

"There's one thing that's strange to me."

"I have studied the planting requirements of each spiritual material, and now I have also examined the geographical environment of the Arcane Ring."

"This place is obviously very suitable for growing materials. The land is vast, and there is also an enlightened political system like the Arcane Ring Council. Logically, its annual output should have been able to meet the needs of mages from all countries."

"But the Chamber of Commerce still dares to be so rampant, excluding the Chamber of Commerce externally and monopolizing and raising prices internally. It's hard not to wonder what the parliament is doing."

Faro made a joke in a light tone:

"I'm afraid it's the parliament itself that's controlling these chambers of commerce from lowering their prices."

As a result, he noticed that the face of the person in front of him froze.

Farlow hastened to smooth things over.

"I was just joking, it's okay for fun, how could it be like this in reality, don't take it seriously."

Unexpectedly, the person in charge grabbed Faro's hand.

His eyes were firm and his tone was irresistible:

"Did you really calculate what you just said?"

Chapter 50: Turning My Remains into Fire

Elliott has always been troubled by the lack of political talent around him.

In other words, there is no political talent who stands on the same side as him.

Under his command, besides the Chamber of Commerce doing business, various mages engaged in production and research, there are also his own private armed magic operators.

As an assistant, Eve could understand his thoughts.

But Eve has no power of her own and can only be an assistant at best.

That's why Elliot specially invited Shasilis to join him in his great cause.

I didn't expect that this person was still thinking about his revenge plan.

I had no choice but to give up.

But I heard that he seems to be still in Liuhuimaixi and has not returned.

Afterwards, Elliot lobbied many wealthy and powerful people, but no one dared to stand up with him and burn the parliament to ashes.

Most of those people are extremely stupid. Some of them think that what he said is nonsense and that the masters of the parliament are not as bad as you say.

Or they would look terrified and say that this is a slide that cannot be touched at all.

Over the past decade, the Parliament has gradually taken control of the archipelago's mage resources, minerals, relics, and spiritual materials.

In this abnormal environment, the extraordinary people can only choose to rely on the congressmen.

Although Elliot spoke very seriously about the congressmen's monopoly on the topic of spiritual materials in his conversation with Shasilis.

But this only affects the extraordinary people after all.

Elliott has discovered in recent years.

The parliament has extended its hand to the people's livelihood.

Those chambers of commerce that originally only dealt in extraordinary materials suddenly added many new businesses: such as food, iron, salt, sugar, butter, and even...

land.

Elliot could foresee that once they completed their monopoly on civilian livelihoods.

There will only be more dire consequences than a monopoly on spiritual materials.

——The Lumonlaka Islands will decay along with those old guys.

At this time, the continuous rejections and difficulties made him helpless.

I even began to doubt myself, wondering if my previous behavior wasn't working.

Shouldn't we try to achieve the change in a less radical way?

And these troubles are discussed because there are no other politically savvy people like me around.

So Elliot was extremely depressed these days.

However, today, he felt that Favia in front of him was worth a try.

"Did you figure out all of this by yourself?"

The young congressman's tone was a little excited.

He stared at the 'girl's' lips, eagerly waiting for a reply.

"Um.....I just thought of it myself, is there any problem?"

You did a great job! You did a great job!

I need talents like you!

But before recruiting her, Elliot wanted to test her resolve.

He wanted to see whether the young lady would choose to innovate with him.

Or choose to become a vested interest like those old guys.

"Well, Miss Favia, let me ask you a question."

"Three eras ago, this palace of Lorendan, built with Illysian white gold, was the royal court of Rodrick, the ruler at the time. It was also a symbol of his incompetence and tyranny."

"If you were allowed to travel back to that time and were a powerful official, would you choose to join the rebels in raising the banner of rebellion, or would you choose to defend the honor of King Roderick?"

Farrow said without hesitation: "Of course I will choose to join the rebels."

This is also the answer given by most people.

After all, it was established history, and she knew that the rebels would win in the end.

"But if the rebels fail and are wiped out by King Rodrick, what will you do next?"

The following answer is the key point.

"I don't have to do anything, just wait quietly."

Favia's answer made Elliot somewhat dissatisfied.

"why?"

Faro said calmly:

“I’ve studied that history.”

"During Rodrick's time, there were numerous heavy taxes and levies, and the kingdom system was bloated and outdated. What's even more terrifying is that they took away everything from ordinary people, including food, water, and land."

"This means they are destined to be swept into the dustbin of history. Even if the first batch of rebels fails, there will be a second batch, a third batch, and so on, endlessly, even though they don't know whether they will win in the future."

"Because they have been forced into a desperate situation, the fall of the Roderick Dynasty is inevitable."
