" Lorraine Hill said the prepared speech, and the reason for this is indeed very good, and it does not arouse doubt.

"Miss Lacey is really smart. Although Titania has encountered many incidents this year, it is still a place where many nobles and nobles gather. If you want to sell some luxury goods, this is the perfect place." She introduced it deftly.

"Actually, Miss Lacey did a very good job today, and I just need to attract more people's attention."

"In addition, I can also give you some small suggestions. That is to always remain mysterious. Don't take the initiative to sell rare and good things to those big nobles.

"In your opinion, which noble people should we deal with or invite in order to achieve good results."

"Well, in fact, many people can do it, such as the famous poet in the imperial capital, Lord Teferi, Mrs. Hathaway, who is famous for her outfits, and Earl Howard, who is highly respected among the nobles..." She continued Said several names.

These people are indeed celebrities in the imperial capital, but there is still a lot of gap with the powerful nobles that the girl expected, so she continued to speak.

"Is there a big person who is more important and can cause a sensation? Because this batch of goods is precious, I want to maximize its value." The girl blinked, expressing her higher ambitions.

"Oh... I probably understand Miss Lacey's thoughts, it seems that I also made mistakes." Vanessa looked at the stunning girl in front of her, as if she suddenly understood something, Showed a clear smile.

"Since Miss Lacey has such an idea, how can I not help as a friend. But I didn't pay much attention to this matter in the past, and I may not be able to think of valuable goals in a hurry."

"And with Miss Lacey's strength, I think you don't like those ordinary existences. Can you give me a while to help you find out?" Mrs. Vanessa also gradually became enthusiastic, she is not stupid. People, suddenly want to understand a lot of things.

Seeing this noble lady seems to have misunderstood what she meant, but this is also beneficial to the previous plan. It is not easy for Lorraine Hill to break her imagination for a while, so she nodded helplessly, and her soft cheeks showed a faint smile. smile.

"Then I will trouble Mrs. Vanessa." I can only take one step at a time.

"You don't need to be so polite, as long as Miss Lacey remembers my friend in the future, hehe." Mrs. Vanessa covered her smiling face with a folding fan woven with lace.

In her heart, this might not be a good opportunity. With Lacey's dreamy face, she can attract many dignitaries, and she can also take this opportunity to reach a higher level of the empire and gain more Many benefits. Regarding this matter, perhaps she will be more active and active than Lorraine Hill.

"Then let's bid farewell for today, thank you Miss Lacey for the gift."

The two continued to talk for a while, seeing that the banquet was gradually coming to an end, this Mrs. Vanessa also got up to say goodbye. Then Lorraine Hill and the attendants sent the lady out of the hall, and saw her boarding the carriage with her attendants.

"It seems that this lady likes the long silk dress that the lady gave her very much." The pink-haired elf maid walked over with small steps and said softly beside the girl.

"It's not just that, hey, I feel like I'm going in the wrong direction." Lorraine Hill held hands in front of him, turned and walked back to the brightly lit hall.

There are still a few guests worth getting to know today.

Looking at those luxuriously dressed nobles ~IndoMTL.com~ who were spinning on the dance floor, the girl secretly sighed. It would be great if Letice was here, this rich lady is best at this kind of scene.

This idea was fleeting, and then she stepped into the golden Vanity Fair and greeted her with the words she knew by heart.

The undulating hills in the Empire's Zishan province are covered with lush green trees. These tall and straight yew trees spread all over the mountains and plains in the province, and they are an important wealth of the local nobles. They would use the wood to make furniture and make bows and arrows, which they would sell across the empire.

It's just that such huge profits will not fall on the commoners who do heavy labor, most of them go into the pockets of the local nobles.

They own land, lumberyards, furniture factories, and bow and arrow preparation factories. The main road in the forest is also their guard gate, controlling the channels of outward circulation. All profits and income are controlled by the nobles. Dusty warehouses filled with gold coins.

Tonight, with few stars, a man riding a horse is running on the mountain road at night, taking advantage of the darkness to advance, his wine-red short hair is like black ink in the dark night, it cannot be seen clearly, and it is mixed with the figure .

When he reached a hill, he gradually stopped and looked at the dark green mountains in the distance.

Here we are again. I don't know what news those 'old friends' will bring. Recently, he heard that pamphlets from the West have become popular in this mountain, promoting ideas that are very inconsistent with the empire.
