The Grim Wind Leader is close to the Black Forest, so she has suffered from the extreme cold of winter before, but fortunately, the maid has been prepared, in the summer and autumn, when the Black Forest is abnormal, she has noticed this, since the Black Forest can make summer and autumn hotter, it is not impossible to make winter colder.

The wind and snow were as she expected, and the frost and cold struck from the Black Forest, invading the Tempest Realm.

Fortunately, the maid had been prepared before this, otherwise there would be many people in the Sad Wind Collar who would not be able to survive this winter, which was far colder than usual.

The heavy snow in the Sad Wind Collar has been falling for two or three months, but this is only the Sad Wind Collar, and the wind and snow in the area south of the Sad Wind Collar have long since subsided, and it has long since changed from 'heavy snow' to 'light snow'.

In this year's winter, the Mendez continent was even more lively than usual, and when the heavy snow had just subsided and the winter had not completely passed, the major chambers of commerce and caravans had already resumed their operations.

Although in previous years, they would start preparing for the next year's plan and the next season's goods at this time, but this year, they are more diligent than in previous years!

In the past, they could have prepared slowly, but this year is different, the lady they believe in is about to form a 'business alliance' - unlike the Moore Merchant Federation, that 'business alliance' is not defined as a 'country', but as an 'organization'.

An 'economic organization' used to allow the merchants of the Mendez continent to exchange information and exchange information!

It is an 'organization' that can be joined regardless of nationality or even race, as long as it meets the requirements and can pay for it rather than just thinking about how to ask for it.

Many businessmen have interacted this winter and found that not only themselves, but also many have received invitations from the Fortune Church.

Judging from the current trend, what Lady Fortune wants to do is definitely not a 'small circle', or rather, not just a secret society circulating in the upper class, but a real big organization!

But now they don't know if this organization can really 'cross borders', although they have heard the phrase 'regardless of nationality or even race' from the invitation of the Fortune Church, but they have to be skeptical.

The human states of the Mendez Continent only exist in the middle of the continent, with the 'Star-Moon Forest' in the east, the 'Garol Mountains' in the west, and the 'Land of Chaos' in the southeast south of the Kurkut Empire, and the south is the legendary 'Cold Hell Wilderness'.

It is not an incomprehensible thing for human nations to trade with each other, and sometimes even 'enemy countries' will have commercial circulation, but outside of human society, they really rarely trade with other races.

Lady Fortune is also just the goddess of wealth for mankind, and if she really wants to do that, then this is undoubtedly a 'big deal'.

However, what really worries the merchants is whether the 'elves' and 'orcs' in this 'regardless of nationality or even race' include 'elves' and 'orcs'?

These two races are the only two races on the continent of Sloe Mendes that can compete with 'humans', but the elves are arrogant, the orcs are savage, and there is almost no concept of 'commerce' in the elven society, and in the orc society, 'commerce' is only at the level of 'bartering', and these two races also hate humans very much, if this 'regardless of race' also includes 'elves' and 'orcs', then ...... That lady's ambition is really too big!

This 'business alliance' is led by the Fortune Lady and the Fortune Church, and although the Sadwind Leader will also join it, it will not occupy the 'standing' seat.

It's a bit intriguing from this point of view, after all, the world of Assatom is not a place to 'avoid relatives', for those who have power, it is what they want to be able to let their trusted relatives control all the power, even if there are not so many relatives, as long as it is someone who can make them trust.

Now a well-informed person knows that the Church of Fortune and the Moore Merchant Federation are already inseparable, and on the surface it seems that the relationship is not bad, but in fact, the Church of Fortune and the Moore Commercial Federation are no longer on the same road.

Because of this, the merchants had something else on their minds.

Although I don't know why the Grieving Wind Leader, who has the closest relationship with the Wealth Church, does not serve as a 'standing committee', since the Grief Leader has joined this 'Business Alliance', then they have even more reason to join it.

After the priests of the Church of Fortune explained, they also understood what the 'Standing Committee' was, it was a 'coined word' for them, and it sounded a little 'not good', but in reality, it was a very important position.

Compared to the 'councillors' who will be impeached or replaced, it is clear that the 'standing committee' is more important!

This 'business alliance' is an organization that allows people to communicate with each other, not only to exchange information, but also to talk about business more quickly than other people who are not in this alliance.

It is already written in the regulations for joining the 'business alliance': 'Those who cannot deceive or trick the alliance will be expelled from the alliance and cannot rejoin the alliance for twenty years if they are found to have committed this regulation'.

This alone discouraged many people, but because the Goddess of Wealth's proposal was too tempting, they did not choose to refuse outright, but were ready to send someone or go to the Grim Wind Territory to see if this business alliance was worth joining.

That's why there is such a scene now-before the winter snow melts, even if the people of the major chambers of commerce and caravans spend a little more money, they must be the first to go to the Sorrowful Wind Leader to find out.

This year is the first year that the Goddess of Fortune has relocated the Holy City, if the business alliance is not worthy of them to join, then it should be regarded as a congratulatory gift to the Goddess of Wealth, but if the business alliance is worthy of them to join, then they can be one step ahead of others, and they will make a lot of money!

This world is unfair, large and medium-sized chambers of commerce and caravans can set off at such a time, but small chambers of commerce and idle merchants cannot.

The big chambers of commerce were able to receive invitations from the Church of Fortune, while the small chambers of commerce and ordinary businessmen could only inquire about this matter in person, and some people did not know about it until now.

It's not that the goddess of wealth doesn't want to, it's that the priests under her command have not been able to implement her current philosophy, and their ideas are still stuck in the past.

The winter was too cold, and they didn't think to ask for a visit one by one, but asked the merchants who had been visited to inform the others, but how could the merchants be willing?

Except for some chambers of commerce and caravans that are interested in the 'Standing Committee', they are willing to take other small chambers and ordinary merchants on a ride, because they have already had a clear answer to the Church of Fortune, and the reason why they do this is to get small chambers and ordinary merchants to side with them.

Because of these reasons, some small chambers of commerce and ordinary businessmen are still kept in the dark, while some follow the big chambers of commerce to embark on the road to the Sad Wind Leader.

And while they were on their way full of enthusiasm, the goddess they believed in was doing something improper.

"Sera~~" Latinia, who had had lunch, lay on the table like a salted fish, and said in a coquettish tone: "Just tell me, tell me how you fell in love with that stupid dragon?"

The maid looked at her helplessly, sighed, and said in a flat tone: "When I was five years old, I was adopted by Seth, when my father had just died. Seth was usually more willing to listen to me than 'scared of me', and when I was about ten years old, I complained to him, 'The swamp is so damp, I don't like it', and the next day he moved with me to a forest on the border of the Eagle Principality. ”

"Oh......" Latinia narrowed her eyes and smiled meaningfully, "I see, then—what about after that?"

"After that......" Serena put her cheek on one hand, looked at the unfinished meal on the table, and said with a sweet smile: "Because I lost my father since I was a child, I may have a little 'father-lover', when I was eighteen years old, I gave him [beep]!"

“...... Huh?"
